Horticultural Information.
A REQUEST.
Often persons to whom our Catalogue has been sent write us for information about what varieties succeed best in this and that locality, and ask us to recommend a special list for their locality, and for various other horticultural information.
This Catalogue is specially arranged to answer all such questions as definitely as is possible for us to do, unless we should establish experiment stations in numerous parts of the country to get the special information. We have done as nearly that as possible, by visiting nearly every part of the entire country, taking notes of the successful and unsuc- cessful, and gleaning information from every reliable source, collecting and testing in our grounds nearly every promising variety brought out, and finally propagating the best only, and embodying brief, pointed descriptions of them, giving seasons, localities where most successful, etc , so that any diligent student of our Catalogue will find generally the very information we are so often asked to give. But if any one, after careful study of the Cata- logue, fails to get the knowledge he wants, we shall be pleased to write it to him, if we have it, or else refer him to works containing the knowledge.
This Catalogue is aimed to contain the very best information and list of varieties for the South and West that is possible to put in the space, so please do not lightly throw it aside. It embodies the best knowledge about varieties that twenty-three years of diligent work in the Southwest has secured.
No cultivator of fruits, trees or flowers can afford to be without some of the books mentioned below.
A SMALL LIBRARY OF MOST USEFUL HORTICULTURAL BOOKS.
These Books and Journals answer yonr questions in the best manner. If, however, neither the Catalogue nor the Books mentioned below cover your questions, we will answer them briefly, providing stamps are included for return postage.
So many of our customers write us for horticultural information (which we have ever most gladly given by letter, until the questions have become too numerous for us to longer thus answer) that we have, after careful examination, selected the following list of works, of most approved authorship, and arranged to mail direct to those ordering at publishers' prices, given below. No discounts can be made on books.

To Our Numerous, Intelligent, Discriminating Customers:
Having always pursued the principle of giving plain, unvarnished descriptions, true to nature, and furnishing the very best of everything named, making every piece sent out a living advertisement of upright methods, our business has continued to rapidly expand. For all this splendid patronage we are profoundly thankful to our patrons, and are better prepared than ever to as carefully serve the increased patronage that we hope to receive the approaching season.
The following careful, truthful descriptions are of far more value in making successful selections than would be the grandest set of pictures that could be executed. Therefore, study the descriptions, and preserve this Catalogue, for it will be found a most valuable horticultural work of reference. Our methods of propagation are those pursued by the largest, most intelligent, and most successful planters of commercial orchards.
Those varieties throughout the Catalogue, outside our special list of Grapes, preceded by a star (*), were introduced by us after careful testing, and we are proud of them. They are generally making excellent records, and some have become recognized standards.
In some cases, varieties heretofore included in our Catalogue are omitted. Some of these are dropped, as others included are better of the same season, and of some we have no stock to offer this year ; such may be inserted when we again have stock of them. Please do not order varieties not named in this Catalogue.
While we have a reputation for making a specialty of Grapes, we have by no means neglected other departments or classes of fruits in our line of business. All have had the same vigilant care in testing, selecting and propagation, so that we will be found up with the times in all things.
In our experimental department, we systematically test all new very promising varieties as they come out, and ourselves originate numerous varieties of grapes, plums, persimmons, etc. By carefully combining the best strains, and testing for a series of years in various localities, we from time to time introduce those proving superior to others in cultivation of the same season. We especially call attention to our new Grapes, and to varieties throughout the Catalogue printed in CAPITALS.
Planters for Market Purposes. We have long made a specialty of supplying those who plant largely for market, and have given splendid satisfaction, as many large orchards, vineyards, and small fruit plantations in all parts of the country attest. To such parties we will make very low prices, on specified lists made out from the Cata- logue, either delivered on cars at Denison or at purchaser's railway depot.
TELEPHONE CONNECTION, Local and Long-distance. We are in connection with the Southwestern Telephone and Telegraph Company, whereby our patrons can communicate directly with our office, and thus save time. Telephone orders attended to promptly. 'Phone 49.

THOSE WHO INTEND TO ORDER OF US SHOULD NOT FAIL TO READ THE FOLLOWING.
TERJIS, CONDITIONS, SHIPPING, ETC.
Cash (by Draft, Money Order or Registered Letter) with order will secure prompt filling. Xo goods shipped unless cash or satisfactory security accompanies the order. If personal checks are sent, include 15 cents for collection, which amount they cost us. Orders held until personal checks are collected. Time, risk and expense saved by re- mitting by postal or express order, or bank draft. Please use order sheet in Catalogue.
To secure goods not wanted sent at once, send one-half the cost with the order. No reserve will be made otherwise. Goods will be shipped " C. O. D." only when one- half payment is sent with order.
Our responsibility ceases after delivery, according to the prices and specifications named below, under " We Prepay Freight," and " Prices," except for mistakes in filling,

which must be reported immediately after receipt of goods, to admit of adjustment. A double system of checking is employed in putting up orders, so that mistakes are rare, and sometimes customers complain of an error and afterwards find it was their own mis- take. Be careful, in unpacking, to note everything, and immediately " heel-in " in moist soil till planted, or plant at once! Never allow the roots to dry, or failure will most likely result.
Every care is taken to secure safe and prompt transportation. Goods are carefully
packed in moss or straw, well baled or boxed.
It is always better to ship by Express, unless the amount of stock is large. Nursery stock goes by express at especially low rates.
Give explicit directions for shipment. When such are not given, we shall use our best judgment in selecting a route, but will not be responsible for loss thereby, excepting on goods on which we prepay freight. See "We Prepay Freight." Shipping facilities in every direction from Denison are excellent.
Customers will generally be most successful in getting desirable assortments by leaving the selection, in part at least, to us, as we have much experience in testing and growing for market, but we desire everyone to have his or her choice, as nearly as possible.
It is to our own interest to give customers the best terms and selections possible. But we cannot prevent Drouths, Severe Winters, Early and Late Frosts, Insects and Rab- bits, etc., from cutting, nor plants from dying by bad treatment in other hands, hence we never insure trees to live after leaving our possession, but do deliver good stock in good order, true to name. In case we fail in these, we replace at once or refund money. After slock is accepted, we replace none that may die after planting.
We are responsible to all of our customers, and to them only, for the character of the goods, and to them or their forwarders, express and railway companies, we guarantee to deliver stock in good order, true to name. With such delivery our responsibility ceases.
CAUTION. — We employ no traveling agents. Those claiming to be our traveling agents are frauds, and should be shunned. We have learned of a number of such opera- tors, and have advertised them for the protection of planters.
CLUB ORDERS. — Man}' responsible persons get up Club Orders in their own com- munities, and send in to secure club rates. Such trade is respectfully solicited. Club rates will be given on application. This is the nearest approach we make to agency work.
SUBSTITUTION.— If it is not explicitly stated in the order that no substitution is permitted in case the variety ordered is sold out, we shall consider permission to substi- tute granted, and then put in place of the variety ordered another, always with its correct name and one of equal or better value, unless such is not in stock, when the variety will be left unfilled and the money for it returned.
£^f° Please do not order articles not named in Catalogue. We catalogue only what we have for sale, and aim to sell only what we produce.
SEASON FOR SHIPPING AND TRANSPLANTI NC.— We begin digging Straw- berry Plants October 15, not earlier, and other stock November 1, and continue almost uninterruptedly to dig and ship until March 15, November, December and February being the best months in which to transplant in the South.
TREES AND PLANTS BY M Al L.— Small fruit trees and shrubs, one-year grape vines, strawberry, raspberry and blackberry plants, can be sent by mail in packages of less than four pounds each, at the rate of one cent for every two ounces. To cover this and packing, remit for every tree, shrub or grape vine, 5 cents each when six or less are ordered, 4 cents each when six to twelve are ordered, and 3 cents each when more than twelve are ordered. For berry plants, remit 10 cents per dozen, 20 cents for fifty, and 35 cents per hundred.
BUDS, CIONS AND CUTTINGS — We do not offer these for sale except where
noted in the Catalogue.
WE PREPAY FREIGHT. — When customers so desire it, and remit prices securing it, as stated in connection with each class of fruit in Catalogue, we prepay freight or express charges, as we may select, to their nearest railway depot, when within the states of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Indian Territory and Oklahoma Territorv, when the orders amount to $5 or more. On orders of less than $5, within the above named states, and all orders from other states, we do not prepay freight, unless so ordered, and money is remitted with the order for the purpose, but deliver the goods on board cars in Denison, well packed.
PRICES.— In connection with each class or variety of fruits in the Catalogue will be found two sets of prices : One for stock packed and freight prepaid to any railway depot within the above named states ; the other for stock packed and delivered on board cars at Denison, or at our nursery. Customers have the choice of either set of prices. Please be careful to state your choice, and remit accordingly. Six go at dozen rates, 50 at 100 rates, 300 at 1,000 rates. When orders amount to §20 or more, hundred rates will be allowed, regardless of number taken.
WHOLESALE ORDERS.— When larger quantities of goods of any class or variety are wanted than are priced in Catalogue, please send list of varieties and number of each desired, for special quotations. We invite comparison of prices and stock with any and all reliable first-class nurseries.

IN ORDER OF RIPENING.
Each "ripening" extends over a period of 10 to 15 days, and embraces white and yel- low-fleshed, free and cling varieties, where possible. Nearly all the varieties have been critically tested by us along with numerous other kinds, in three successive test orchards, planted and fruited within the past 20 years, in different soils and situations. Not a variety is included which has not been tested by experienced and critical orchardists, and pro- nounced valuable for the particular purposes and sections for which it is recommended. Desirable qualities in tree, as well as fruit, have been considered. Those varieties fol- lowed by the letter a are recommended for amateur or family planting. In size and quality of fruit they are usually the very finest, but not prolific or firm enough, or of the right season for profitable planting, except in very favorable localities.
Those followed bye are recommended for canning; those followed by^ are recom- mended for evaporating ; those followed by m are recommended for marketing fresh ; those followed by c e m will make an excellent " all-purpose " variety.
While some of the following list do not succeed in the Gulf regions, the following have been found to do well there : Mamie Ross, Family Favorite, Oldmixon Free, Elberta, Bequett Free and Cling. The entire list succeeds well in all other parts of the Southwest.

Elberta Seedling: Peaches. As
some persons are of the opinion that seed- ling Peaches succeed better than budded or grafted varieties (which we very much doubt), we have grown a few trees from El- berta seed from the most select fruit, so as to offer the very best class of seedlings. The trees producing these grew in orchard among other fine varieties, hence the seed- lings will not be like the parent in most cases, but crosses between it and other kinds. Price same as standard varieties.
PLUMS
Plant 18 feet apart each way, requiring 135 trees per acre, than the peach, with more clay, and thrive where the peach will.

STANDARD LIST.
In succession. Have a large stock of finest quality. This list contains the best and most successful ; have tested all these, with hundreds of others. Flowers perfect, and will bear alone, unless otherwise noted ; when pistillate, they need a perfect-flowered kind planted near. With irrigation in West Texas and westward all varieties in the list suc- ceed. East of the 100th meridian, the Bordeaux mixture spray will enable many varieties to succeed that without it fail on account of the rot and mildew. In most regions all varieties do better if treated with Bordeaux spray. See Spraying Outfits, 3rd cover page.
By repeated comparison it is certainly established that yearling grape vines, as we grow them, outclass No. 1 northern grown 2-year olds, and our 2-jrear olds are so strong that if planted early, say from November to February, they are capable of bearing without injury several clusters the first year. Hence our prices are much cheaper than they appear to be by comparison with other's prices. A weak grape vine .is not worth planting at any price.

These succeed in far South and West Texas, especially with irrigation, equally as well as in California, but fail entirely in Central and East Texas, owing to phylloxera, rot, mildew, etc.; but by grafting on resistant roots and spraying with Bordeaux mixture, suc- ceed in all but extreme North Texas, and with winter protection can be fruited there.
We have in our Vineyard, on sandy soil, the following list, growing and fruiting success- fully, selected from among a large number of the finest French, Spanish, Hungarian, Ital- ian, Sicilian and Persian varieties. Some are of recent importation. We have no grafted vines for sale, but can supply cuttings of the best resistant stocks for the South and Califor- nia by mail at $2 per 100.

NEW CREATIONS IN AMERICAN GRAPES.
T. V. MUNSON'S HYBRIDS fIND SEEDLINGS.
We have hundreds of most favorable testimonials voluntarily written us by practical grape-growers, from all parts of the country, praising many of our hybrids, each for its proper region, in unqualified terms. Thus by their own merits are they rapidly becoming popular. With the following list, with ordinary vineyard culture, one can, in the South, have a fine succession of choice fruit from June 25 (here at Denison 340 north latitude) until in October. This truly marks a new era in Grape culture in the South. For many years we have put the fruit of our hybrids largely upon the market, selling much more readily and at better prices than do such varieties as Concord, Niagara, Ives, etc., which we also grow in market quantities.
The Grape has steadily been our most profitable market fruits. Good varieties when

well grown, are the most nutritious and wholesome of all fruits. Easily and quickly pro- duced, liked by everybody, most beautiful, attractive and salable in the markets at any season of the year, to say nothing of the staple products of jellies, wines, etc., manufactured from them.
It has not been our object to foist upon the public a lot of worthless novelties, but we have undertaken, in an honest, progressive spirit, to originate, test and introduce a succes- sion of varieties possessing the best combination of native blood possible, to furnish the country what it greatly needs, but has never had— varieties of the most successful, valu- able character, covering the entire Grape season in the South from July i to November. Having better material and better knowledge than ever before from which to produce valuable combinations, we yearly grow some additional hybrids for special purposes and regions. A few of the best of these may be offered for sale in due time, in case we think them real improvements over anything at present possessed. As a money venture, we never expect to regain expenses in the matter of production of new varieties, as it is a long, expensive, little-appreciated process ; but we take pleasure in it, and an ambition to do something that will bless the race long after we have ceased to work.
No other originators have started their varieties so low nor reduced them so rapidly in price as we have, and yet our varieties, as a lot, are superior to any others ever originated by one person.

PRESLY.
This is a seedling of Elvira crossed by the Champion. The vine is strong and healthy, covered with a healthy dark green foliage. It is the first of our grapes to ripen, and on this account it is a profitable variety. The size of the cluster and berry is that of the Delaware, and resembles the Delaware ; even more attractive in the basket. The quality is good, far above that of Champion. The berry is juicy and the pulp tender. For an extra-early market Grape that would give satisfaction, we could recommend none better than this. The vine is prolific, always setting a full crop. Free from all diseases.
BRILLIANT.
This is a seedling of Lindley crossed by Delaware, produced in 1883. The vine is vigorous and hardy. It ripens just before the Delaware, is very prolific ; berries and clusters as large as Concord ; compact, translucent red, similar to the Delaware; quality about the same as Delaware, with less pulp ; seeds one to three ; skin thin and tough ; berries adhere firmly to peduncle, making it a splendid early market Grape, and commands the highest price ; it makes a fine white or amber wine. Shipped it over 1,000 miles to market in fine order, and received best price on the market. It has received unreserved praise everywhere it has been tested — in Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, Texas, Colorado and Connecticut. It mildews some in wet seasons in New Jersey and Michigan, near large bodies of water, but Bordeaux spray corrects that.
BELL.
A hybrid of Elvira with Delaware. Vine vigorous, healthy, free from mildew and
leaf-folder, very hardy, a good, sure pro- ducer ; cluster medium, cylindrical, often with a shoulder, fairly compact ; berry me- dium, round, greenish yellow, rarely at- tacked with black rot ; skin thin, sufficiently tough to prevent cracking under ordinary weather changes ; pulp rather tender, juicy, very sweet and agreeably flavored ; ripens just before Concord. Successful in Texas northward.
ROMMEL.
Produced in 1885 by crossing the Triumph upon Elvira. Vine very vigorous, free from disease, not attacked by the leaf-roller ; clusters medium, simple or shouldered, compact, handsome ; berry medium to large, yellowish white, translucent; skin thin; pulp melting, seeds few and small ; quality best, pure, sprightly, vinous ; season about the same as Delaware ; the vine is very hardy to resist cold or heat, and is very productive. We recommend this variety for extensive trial north as well as south, as a very superior Grape for local and near-by markets. The crop on 300 vines at five years of age averaged over 15 pounds each, and brought the highest market price. It makes fine white wine. Texas northward.
DR. COLLIER.
A hybrid produced from a very large, fine Post-Oak Grape, pollinated by Concord. Leaves out and flowers late ; very produc- tive and vigorous, hardy; clusters large, conical, handsome; berries large, red, be- coming dark purple, very beautiful. Much less subject to rot than Concord; skin thin, does not crack; pulp very juicy, sprightly, with an agreeable, perceptible Concord flavor ; hangs on longer after ripening with- out losing flavor, and will probably make a much better wine than Concord. Ripens just after Concord. Missouri southward.

BEACON.
"The Southern Concord." A hybrid of a very large clustered, large- berried "Texas Post-Oak Grape" (Vitis Lincecumii) of good quality, excelling Con- cord. Vine vigorous, with dark, glossy green leaves of excellent texture and health ; leaves out and flowers later than Concord and ripen earlier ; cluster large ; long, cylindrical, often with a shoulder ; berries closely resemble those of Concord, but average larger, some being one inch in diameter, and the bloom is somewhat heavier : the fruit has not the rank muski- ness of Concord, but a very agreeable tube- rose odor ; skin tougher ; pulp rather ten- der, meaty, of a somewhat similar, yet bet- ter quality than Concord ; seeds three to four, above medium. The vine is exceed- ingly prolific, and carries its load with ease. This Grape, we believe, will succeed almost anywhere that the Concord will thrive, and in much of the dry, hot southern country where Concord is practically a failure. The fruit is less attacked by rot than that of Concord, and ripens perfectly even, while Concord is very irregular in that respect in the South.
R. W. MUNSON.
A hybrid of "Big Post-Oak" with Tri- umph. The vine is very vigorous and healthy, setting and maturing a heavy crop, enduring drouth remarkably well ; cluster large, cylindrical ; berry large, black, per- sistent ; seeds two to three, small ; skin thin and tough ; pulp tender and of excellent quality. This is one of the best all-purpose Grapes we have ever produced, and will succeed from the extreme South to far into the North. Its mother is the same vine that produced the Beacon. Cluster and berry very similar to Beacon, excepting that it has no bloom on the fruit, being jet black. An excellent table and wine grape.
DELAGO.
Hybrid of Delaware pollinated by Goethe, produced in 1883. Vine similar to Delaware, but more vigorous and a much heavier crop- per. Cluster medium, shouldered, same shape as Delaware ; berry large as Con- cord, ovate, beautiful red, about same shade as Delaware, very persistent ; skin thin but tough, enabling the variety to endure ship- ment to any distance ; pulp meaty, tender, of finest quality, possessing a delightful muscat flavor ; seeds one to two, medium to large. Owing to the flower having short, recurved stamens, it requires a long stamen variety growing near to serve as pollinator for it. The Brilliant is excellent for this pur- pose.
AMERICA.
This is a seedling of Hermann Jaeger's No. 70, which is a hybrid between the best selected Vitis Lincecumii and Vitis rupes- tris ; native of Missouri, hence has pure American blood of two of our best species. The vine is very vigorous and productive, comes into and sheds its foliage verv late ; free from disease. It flowers late. It does

not pollinate itself thoroughly, hence sets fruit better when grown among perfect flowered varieties. The vine is very hardy to resist heat and cold, and the roots to re- sist phylloxera. Clusters large ; berry me- dium to large, black, and rarely touched by rot ; skin thin ; pulp tender, juicy, pure and good ; juice rich in coloring matter and su- gar. Very promising as a dark-red wine as well as a good market Grape. Succeeds over a large extent of country. Will surely become a favorite among wine producers and marketmen. A splendid port wine has been made from it.
JAEGER.
A hybrid produced in 1885 by using pollen of the Herbemont upon one of the best va- rieties of Vitis Lincecumii found wild in this vicinity. Vine exceedingly vigorous, healthy and prolific. It will endure the winters as far north as 400. Bunch very large, shouldered or double- shouldered, compact ; berry medium, of a dark purple,
j covered with a rich bloom ; very persistent to the stem ; skin thin, tough ; pulp melt- ing, very juicy, sweet and sprightly, of very
I good quality; seeds small. A very attrac- tive and valuable Grape for market, table or wine. Ripens with or a few days later than Concord.
LONG JOHN.
A hybrid of "Big Post-Oak" with Tri- umph. Vine vigorous, hardy ; cluster very large, long, cylindrical ; berry large, black ; skin thin and tough ; seeds, two to four, me- dium ; pulp juicy and of good quality. A very attractive Grape in market on account of its large and fine appearing clusters. Ripens just with Concord, and a much better Grape every way, for the southwest.
CARMAN.
A hybrid produced by using pollen of Tri- umph upon one of the best of our North Texas Post Oak Grapes ( Vitis Lincecumii) . It leaves out and sheds late, and blooms late, always setting and maturing a very heavy crop, its vigor enduring this heavy crop from year to year with impunity. The vine appears as hardy as the Concord wher- ever tried, it having passed 270 below zero in Missouri without damage. Its foliage and fruit so far have been almost entirely exempt from disease of every kind. Clusters very large, shouldered, conical, have been grown to two pounds in weight ; berry medium to large, black, very persistent ; skin thin but tough ; pulp meaty and fairly juicy, with little coloring matter; flavor pure; rich, very sweet, of high quality ; exceedingly promising.
DELICIOUS.
A hybrid of" Big Post-Oak" with Herbe- mont. Vine vigorous and free from dis- ease ; cluster large, conical ; berry me- dium, black; seeds small, one to three; skin thin and tough ; pulp melting. The name of the Grape describes its flavor. Productive; a fine table and wine Grape. Suitable for the South.

BIG EXTRA.
A hybrid of Post-Oak and Triumph. Vine | vigorous and healthy, productive ; clusters i large, cylindrical ; berry large, black ; seeds medium, two to four ; skin thin, tough ; pulp tender and of very good quality. Valuable for the South.
GOLD COIN.
Produced by pollinating Norton with Mar- tha in 1883. Vine vigorous, late in leafing, shedding leaves and in flowering ; flowers pei feet ; very hardy and productive ; clusters medium, oval, or shouldered; berry me- dium to large ; persistent, rich golden yellow when fully ripe ; rarely touched by rot ; skin thin, but very tough ; pulp somewhat tough, very juicy, pleasant, agreeable flavor, be- coming very sweet when fully ripe. Ripens about with' Catawba ; shows up and sells well in the market ; immensely superior to [ the Pocklington. Will undoubtedly make an excellent white wine of good keeping quality. This Grape, wherever tested, has received very high praise. A successful Grape over a large extent of country. En- dures the winters of the North and the sum mers of the South readily. Is a splendid long-shipment market variety.
ELVIC0ND.
The BlacK-land Grape. A hybrid of Elvira with the Texas Mus- tang Grape, Vitis candicans, which grows and thrives so wonderfully everywhere in the black-lands of the state. Vine exceed- ingly vigorous ; medium to late in leafing out and flowering ; flowers perfect Exceed- ingly productive of small to medium, com pact clusters of medium to large, beautiful, translucent, dark-red berries, which are exceedingly persistent to the stems, and ripen a little later than Concord, and hold on until late in September in Texas, becoming better and better all the time — a most valuable point. Skin thin, tough ; pulp tender, juicy, melting when fully ripe, and of a very refreshing honeyed sweetness. Wine made of it is exceptionally fine, sprightly and refreshing. It is an excellent graft stock for Vinifera varieties, being per- j fectly resistant to phylloxera.
BIG HOPE.
A hybrid of Post-Oak and Triumph. Vine vigorous, productive and free from disease ; clusters very large, cylindrical and some- times doubled ; berry medium, dark red ; seeds small, two to three ; skin thin and tough ; pulp tender, with a pale red juice; quality very good. A valuable Southern market Grape.

MRS MUNSON.
Another Neosho cross with Herbemont. Vine thrifty, prolific and healthy ; clusters large, conical, shouldered, compact ; berry small to medium, purple ; seeds one to three, small ; skin thin and tough ; pulp juicy and melting ; quality of the best. A fine eating Grape as well as a valuable Grape for wine. A fine variety for the South. Ripens two weeks later than the Herbemont.
Hopkins.
A hybrid of Post-Oak {Vitis Lincecumii) with Norton. Vine very vigorous, prolific and an extra strong grower, free from any disease ; clusters very large, conical ; berry medium, black ; skin thin and tough ; seeds two to three, small ; pulp juicy and tender ; of good quality. Makes wine of same char- acter as Norton, and will outyield that variety greatly.
FERN MUNSON.
A hybrid of the Texas Post-Oak Grape ( Vitis Lincecumii) and the Catawba. Vine very vigorous, late in leafing out, flowering and ripening of fruit; flowers perfect ; clus- ter and berry large ; berry persistent, very dark purple, almost black ; skin thin, tough ; pulp tender, juicy, rich and sprightly, of very fine quality. Ripe here late in August, long after Concords are gone, and when the market is bare of other Grapes. Continues a long time, and is very valuable. Suc- ceeds throughout the South, endures great drouth, and is little troubled by disease. A splendid shipper.

NEW INTRODUCTIONS.
After fruiting for a number of years, we select from among hundreds of our later hybrids the following, which are worthy of extended trial, and promise to be very valuable. We have only a few vines of each.
PRICES.
We offer these fine new varieties at $1 each, or Sio per 12, prepaid or f. o. b.
ATOKA. America pollinated by Dela- ware. Large cluster ; medium berry, beau- tiful dark translucent red. Very sprightly and good. Persistent to cluster ; late ; vine
very vigorous and healthy.
JAEGER'S 43. Although not of our origin we place it here as it is probably the most valuable pure Post-Oak Grape ( V. Lincecumii) ever found. Is the mother of a very promising family of hybrids, and as our customers frequently call for the vines of the pure Post-Oak Grape, we offer a few vines of it. Clusters large, compact ; berry medium, very late in ripening, excellent quality ; free from disease ; flowers imper- fect, hence some very late perfect-flowering variety, such as Kiowa, should be planted near it.
KENENA. America pollinated by a Post-Oak hybrid. Cluster large ; berry medium, dark purple; thin skin, tender pulp, very sprightly and juicy, good ; vigor- ous, prolific, healthy. Very promising as a Southern wine Grape.
KIOWA. Jaeger's 43 pollinated by Her- bemont. Clusters very large ; berry medium; black, red juice ; very late, very juicy, of best quality ; vine very vigorous, prolific, free from all disease. An exceedingly prom- ising wine, table and market grape for the South. Promises to be more valuable than the Herbemont when at its best, and will succeed much farther North and in moister regions. Ripens after the Herbemont. Rec- ommended with great confidence to wine producers.
LUKFATA. Vitis Champini pollinated by Moore's Early. Cluster medium, com- pact ; berry large, black ; skin tough, thin ; pulp tender, very sweet with peculiar agree- able flavor. Vine very vigorous, prolific and free from disease. Ripens early. As its mother is a native of strong lime-stone black- land of Southwest Texas, it promises to be the Concord for the black-waxy lands of Texas. Persistent to cluster, ripens very evenly.
MANITO. America pollinated by Bril- liant. Cluster large, cylindrical ; berry medium, dark purple with white specks'; skin thin and tough ; pulp very tender, sprightly, juicy, of excellent peculiar flavor ;
or s>io per 12,
seeds small ; juice red. Vine vigorous, free from disease, very prolific. Very valuable for wine, market and table. This promises to succeed over a wide latitude. Very early.
OLITA. Delaware pollinated by Irving. Cluster medium, shouldered similar to Dela- ware ; berry medium to large, clear yellow- ish white, translucent ; skin thin and tough ; pulp melting, of the finest quality. This is the variety which at our great " Grape Tast- ing " of last season was awarded the place of highest quality over all others. It is a superb amateur Grape. Vine a moderate grower and produces about equally with the Delaware. Better North than South.
OKTAHA. Vitis Champini pollinated by Brilliant. Cluster and berry medium ; black ; skin thin, tough ; pulp melting, sprightty, very good. Ripens early. Possessing Cham- pini blood, like Lukfate, renders it promis- ing for black-lands in the South, while it succeeds in any other soil. We have had the Champini tested in Massachusetts, where it proves hardy and healthy, hence we can expect hybrids of it, such as this and Luk- fata, to succeed over a wide range of terri- tory. It is a marriage as it were of New England and Texas.
RED GIANT {Vitis Labrusca). A va- riety produced in Pennsylvania, and although not of our own origin we place it here that those who desire to plant a mammoth Grape of this class can procure the best probably that has yet been introduced. We have seen and tested others of this class like the Jumbo, Columbian, Columbian Imperial, etc., and believe this to be the best of the lot. Clus- ter medium, compact ; berry immensely large, one to one and one-quarter inches in diameter; color dark red; skin thick and tough ; pulp rather tender, sweet and of agreeable flavor, possessing the characteris- tic of Labrusca muskiness. Vine vigorous, healthy and prolific.
WAUPANUKA, Rommel pollinated by Brilliant. Cluster above medium ; berry large, yellowish white ; skin very thin and tender ; pulp melting, very juicy, highly flavored, of peculiarly agreeable character. Medium season ; vigorous ; prolific. Better North, as in Kansas, Missouri, etc., than far South.
(\ NEW DEPARTURE IN GRAPE HYBRIDS.
Trje most remarkable advance yet made in Grape Hy bridization.
The three varieties following are hybrids of the well-known Scuppernong Grape. (See exact life-size engraving of San Jacinto and De Soto on cover of Catalogue.) Originated by T. V. Munson. They are very vigorous, prolific, excellent in quality, and larger in clusters than any of the Muscadine varieties heretofore known. They are absolutely free from rot and mildew, and will succeed anywhere in the Southern states and California. Like the Scuppernong, they require male vine flowering at same time, growing near to render them

fruitful. To purchasers of these vines, we furnish male vines free of charge. These mark a new era among Grape varieties in the South. As we have yet only a few vines of each we can offer only single vines for sale to each purchaser, that is one each of the three varieties.
PRICE.
Per vine, prepaid, $2 each.
DE SOTO. A hybrid fo the Scupper- nong and Vitis Munsoniana, of South Florida, a species nearly allied to the Southern Muscadine ( V. Rotund if olia). In size of cluster, about equal with San Jacinto ; berry not quite so large, shining jet black ; skin thin; pulp melting and juicy, very sprightly, vinous ; seeds small. Berry per- sistent to cluster, so that they can be mar- keted as are other cluster Grapes. Ripens three to four weeks after Scuppernong, and holds on until frost.
LA SALLE. Very large berry, black ; thin skin ; tender pulp for this class of Grapes ; quality equal to or better than Scuppernong. Ripens the earliest of any of this class. This and the next are hybrids of Scuppernong, with one of T. V. Munson's best Post-Oak hybrid Grapes.
SAN JACINTO. Similar in berry and cluster to La Salle, the cluster being from two to three times the size of Scuppernong cluster ; the quality is still better than La Salle. Ripens one to two weeks later than Scuppernong. Exceedingly prolific.
RESfSTflNT GR0FT STOCKS FOR GRAPES
To meet the demand of some of our customers for good Stocks, resistant to phylloxera, on which to graft more delicate varieties of Grapes, especially the Viniferas, which thereby can be made very successful in many parts of the South, especially in Southwestern Texas, we have grown a small stock of the most approved, well tested species and varieties, which we offer at the following prices :

Vitis Champini. Native of limy soils of southwest Texas. Vitis Doaniana. From the Pan Handle of Texas. Vitis Solonis. From the Pan Handle of Texas. Vitis riparia. Of the Northern states.
" " Of Red River region, North Texas. Pukwana. A select hybrid of V. monticola X V. rupestris. Hutporup. A hybrid of Solonis rupestris and Lincecumii.
All excepting V. riparia and Solonis are especially adapted to the Southern states. The V. riparia is best for Northern regions. The Champini, Doaniana and Pukwana are especially recommended for limy and black soils, while they do well in any soil. The riparia and Solonis are better adapted to sandy soils and more Northern regions. Include Hutporup for sandy soils in the South. Having been engaged for years in supplying vine- yardists in France and California with resistant graft stocks for various soils, we under- stand this matter well, and have spent much time in selecting and producing the above varieties, which we recommend with great confidence. They all grow well from cuttings, and a few vines planted out will soon produce cuttings enough to supply any demand. We produce these only for the purpose of introduction, and don't expect to go largely into the graft stock business again. We consider the Pukwana the best resistant graft stock for grapes in existence.
JAPANESE PERSIMMON.
This remarkable fruit does well all through the South. These are grown from seeds of several of the finest Japan varieties, that have all proved hardy and prolific here. Many that we have fruited of these seedlings have always been hardy, large, good and prolific, and give better satisfaction than grafted trees. We have never known a seedling Japan Persimmon to fail to bear. 40 cts. each, S3 per 12, prepaid ; 35 cts. each, $2.50 per $12, f. o. b. cars at Denison.
AMERICAN HONEY PERSIMMON.
We have a tree of the native Persimmon found wild, bearing profusely of large, clear, honey-colored fruit of finest quality, preferred by all to even the finest Japanese kinds. The tree was moved into our grounds among the Japan varieties, and continues to fruit abun- dantlv annually. It has few small seeds in comparison with most varieties. All things considered, it is the finest Persimmon known to us. We annually grow some trees from seeds of this. About one-half of the seedling American Persimmons bear fruit, the others are male ; hence in filling orders we put in two trees for every one ordered. 10 cts. each, $1 per 12, $8 per 100, prepaid ; 90 cts. per 12, $7.50 per 100, f. o. b. cars at Denison.

THE VALUE OF SPRAYING.
It would seem unnecessary at this time to say anything as to the value of spraying. There are m my farmers, however, who have not investigated the subject, and the value of spraying can only he appreciated by those who have tried it.
TThe secret of having" good crops consists in spraving at the right time and with the proper materials. Fungicides are preventives and should thus be applied before the work ot the injurious fungi is noticed. Spraying should be an integral part of all farm operations. Our best horticulturists now recommend the application of the Bordeaux mixture to grow- ing plants to promote healthv growth. It acts as a preventive to the growth of the fungi which would otherwise greatly retard the growth of plants.
The Spraying- must be done intelligently. Simply to make an application here and there without some specific object in view, and without the ri«ht solution to accomplish that object, is time and money thrown away. But spraying at the right time and using the right solution will pay an hundred fold. Success cannot be attained without it.
