Some Remarks on Varieties, Sizes, Etc.
We wish to say that the small size trees are strictly first-class and well rooted, and hy many will be preferred to the larger size.
VARIETIES — So many ask, "What should I plant in my locality?" that we will here name a few of the popular and profitable sorts for general planting:
APPLES.-Ben Davis, Jonathan, Mam. Black Twig, Gano, York Imperial, Rome Beauty, Wine Sap, Grimes' Golden, Maiden's Blush. This is our Commercial List. Others would add perhaps Wealthy, Ark. Black, Ingram, Mo. Pippin, Duchess Olden- burg, Etc. All of the above are good profitable sorts, both for home use and for the market.
PEACHES — If you want to market your fruit, avoid planting too many early sorts. Family Favorite, Fitzgerald, Foster, Champion, Mixon Free, Stump, Elberta, Heath Cling. Miller Cling, Crosby. Capt. Ede, Gold Dust, Chair's Choice, Gold Medal, Salway, Crawford's Eate, Bonanza, are all profitable for market. Should very early sorts be de- sired. Triumph, Alexander and Sneed are what you should plant. If for home use plant general assortment, including above, for a succession, be sure to include Golden Gate, Queen and Carman. The peach tree should have the shoots and branches shortened every year or two. The land should be kept in a high state of cultivation.
PEARS.— The fact is more and more apparent that Kieft'er and Garber will stay in the lead for profit. Duchess, Seckel, Bartlett, Jersey, Etc., should also be in most orchards. Gathering Pears. In order to retain the juice and best flavor, summer pears should be gathered at least ten days before they are ripe, and autumn pears at least two weeks; winter varieties as soon as the leaves begin to drop.
CHERRIES — Early Richmond, Dyehouse. Eate Montmorency, Wragg, Eng. Mo- rello (sour), Gov. Wood, Elton and Sappington (sweet), do very well and are profitable. Try our new sweet variety— MAGANN.
PEUMS.— Wild Goose (native), Damson, Shipper's Pride, German Prune (European) , Ogon, Abundance, Satsuma. Wickson, Red June, Willard and Burbank (Japanese), are all good bearers and are profitable. We consider the Abundance, Wickson and Burbank the best of the well-known Japanese sorts. Try some or all of the Japan sorts. Don't plant the Marianna except for shade trees.
THINNING FRUIT.— When the trees are heavily laden the fruit should be thinned when about one-third grown, else the fruit will be poor and the trees injured.
WHOEE ROOT TREES.— The "Whole Root" schemes we can but compare in our mind to the working of Patent Medicine Men and Quacks. They try to scare you into buy- ing their goods. Pear, Peach, Plum and Cherry trees are all grown on "whole roots." Our Apples are most all on so-called whole roots, grafted and planted so that the cion also roots. Don't pay extra prices for '"trade marks." We give our customers the very best, and we don't ask two prices. A trial order will convince you.
NOTE.— That we offer heavy budded trees— budded above ground— on branched root stocks (whole roots). Our 1-year buds are equal to 2-year trees from grafts.

Rome Beauty. Large, yellow, shaded with red; tender, juicy, subacid. November to February.
Wealthy. An apple of fine appearance and quality; an early and profuse bearer; a good market Apple of its season. Tree hardy ; its chief fault is killing itself by its early and excessive bearing; in size and beauty it equals Baldwin, and is a better dessert Apple. Ripens here last of August. Winter Apple North.
WINTER APPLES:— Arkansas Black. Origin Benton ville, Arkansas. The tree is a beautiful upright grower, young wood, very dark. Fruit medium to large; fine flavor; beau- tiful dark color, almost black; flesh yellowish, slightly subacid, crisp. One of the best cooking Apples; vigorous. January to July.

Gano. Origin Howard County. Missouri. This Apple was introduced to the public in 1886, and advertised as the finest red winter Apple in the world, and we still claim it. It has surpassed that famous commercial variety, Ben Davis, in this section. Tree very hardy; has never been injured by the cold winters; bears very young, roots readily from its own stock, and can almost be grown from a cutting. Fruit bright red on yellow ground, no stripes; large, oblong, tapering to the eye; surface smooth, takes a very high polish, making it valuable as a stand fruit ; minute dots;, basin shallow, sometimes deep; stem medium to long; flesh white, fine-grained, tender, mild, pleasant, subacid. An early, annual and prolific bearer. December to May.

These Apples sold on the Kansas City market. May 15, 1897, for $5.50 per barrel, when fine Ben Davis brought only S3. Size medium; roundish, inclined to conical; smooth, yellow ground, striped bright red in the sun; flesh greenish yellow, fine-grained, delicate, tend- er, juicy; agreeable, subacid flavor; good keeper. Tree hardy, late bloomer and very pro- ductive.
Janet. (Never Fail). Medium, roundish, ovate; greenish yellow, striped with red; crisp, rich and juicy ; one of the best and longest keepers in the South and Southwest; val- uable for its high quality and its late blooming; moderate grower. January to March.
Jonathan. Fruit medium, roundish ; skin yellow, nearly covered with dark or lively red; fine-grained, very tender and finely flavored; moderate grower. One of the best Apples for home use or market. October to January.

Trt'e a fine, upright, spreading grower. Fruit is fully one-quarter larger than Wines:ip. which it very much resembles in flavor and keeping qualities. We do not hesitate to recom- mend it as a commercial variety wherever the Winesap succeeds.
Mann. An upright grower, forming a round head; fruit medium to large, roundish ob- late; skin deep yellow when fully ripe.
New Haven (Missouri) Nurseries.

New Haven (Missouri) Nurseries.
7
Champion. Originated at Nokornis, Illinois. Fruit lai'ge, beautiful in appearance; flavor delicious, sweet, rich and juicy; skin creamy white, with red cheek; freestone. August 15th. The peculiarity of this great acquisition is its hardiness, and the crowning events in its history of its having stood a temperture of 18 degrees below zero in the winter of 1887-88, and produced an abundant crop the following season, and again in 1890 producing a full crop, when the peach crop was a universal failure.
Chinese Cling:. Most popular Southern peach, oblong, creamy skin, with faint flashes of red. August.
Chair's Choice. Large, late, yellow. One of the best for home or market planting.
Crawford's Early. This beautiful yellow peach is highly esteemed for market purposes in the South. Fruit very large, oblong; skin yellow, with fine red cheek; flesh yellow, juicy, sweet and excellent; free. Last of July. (Would not advise planting this sort North of Central Missouri.)
CraAvford's Late. Fruit of the largest size; skin yellow, or greenish yellow, with dull red cheek; flesh yellow; productive; one of the best; free. Last of August and September.

Diamond. The finest Cling in existance. Very large, hardy and productive. 23c each; 11.00 for 5; 815.00 per 100.
Elberta. A Georgia cross between Crawford and Chinese Cling, very large, well colored; all things considered the finest yellow freestone in cultivation; no one can go amiss by planting it ; fruit perfectly free from rot, and one of the most successful shipping varieties. August 20th.
Fitzgerald. Of Crawford type. A seedling found at Oakville, Ont., where it stands the winter perfectly, and for the past four years has cropped regularly. Oakville is situated outside of the peach-growing district, and any other varieties will not succeed there. It is undoubtedly VERY HARDY, and the fruit averages larger than any variety known. Quality first-class, freestone, and we recommend it with entire satisfaction. We quote the following extract from Mr. Roland Morrill: "In 1896 the original 100 trees bore from a few samples to half bushel of as fine peaches as anybody ever saw, being fully larger than Craw- ford's, on same age trees, even handsomer in color, and having the smallest pit I ever saw in any peach except seedling." We offer this sort at 25 cents each; $1.00 for 5: 815.00 per 100.
Family Favorite. Free, seedling of Chinese Cling, of better color, large, clear, waxen complexion with blush, prolific, firm, valuable for shipping, canning or drying. Last of July.

Gold Dust. If you want the very best canning variety this is the peach. Large Yellow Clingstone; juicy, productive and of best quality. Season, September 15th to 20th. 20 cents each; 81.00 for 6; 810.00 per 100.
Golden Gate. Originated by Dr. Smith, of Hermann, Mo. Very productive, large beau- tiful yellow. Season, a week later than Elberta. 25c each; 81.00 for 5.
Gold Drop. Tbis variety has a sort of transparent golden appearance, rendering it immensely attractive in market, selling for the highest price. Good quality, a very early and profitable bearer, hardy. Originated in Michigan where it has rapidly forged to the front. One of the best market varieties. Ripens between Late Crawford and Smocks.
Gold Medal. Elberta shape and color, larger and about ten days later than Elberta. 25c each; 81.00 for 5; 815.00 per 100.
General Lee. An improved Chinese Cling; very valuable. August 20th.

New Haven (Missouri) Nurseries.

Hill's Chili. Medium size, dull yellow, tree very hardy, good bearer. Last of August.
Horton's Rivers. A seedling of Early Rivers of which it is a counterpart in size, color and quality, but it is a perfect freestone and follows Early Rivers in time of ripening; hardy and prolific and will undoubtedly supersede its parent for a market variety. July.
Kalamazoo. Mr. R. Morrill, President of the Michigan State Horticultural Society, says of this variety : "Originated in Kalamazoo, attracted attention by bearing large crops of large fruit of highest quality in a locality where the peach is considered a failure. A wonderfully strong grower, bears full loads of fruit at two years old, sets an enormous amount of fruit. My trees shed a large portion soon after bloom falls, but so far (four crops) have required some thinning. Size equals Early Crawford, more uniform, pit small, flesh thick, yellow, superb quality. Skin golden yellow with light crimson cheek; fewest culls of any variety I ever saw. Kalamazoo, Lewis and Gold Drop are our money makers, fully as reliable as a potato crop and grown as cheaply, bushel for bushel. • Ripens between Early and Late CraAvford." 20 cents each ; $1.00 for 6 ; $12.00 per 100.
Lewis Seedling:. Remarkably hardy and a very early and abundant producer. Tree vigorous and an annual bearer. Fruit medium to large, handsome, skin greenish white with red cheek, flesh white, juicy, pit small. Middle to latter part of July. Very profitable.
lemon Cling-. (Pineapple Cling). Large, oblong, having a swollen point similar to a lemon; skin yellow with red cheek; flesh yellow, Arm, juicy and sweet; tree a fine grower. August.
Mountain Rose. Large, red ; flesh white, rich, juicy, excellent; one of the best early peaches, ripening with Troth's Early, and much larger and finer than that variety; should be in every collection. July.
Miller Cling Peach. An extra large clingstone. Hardy, productive, and of best quality. Same season as Heath Cling, but larger and better color. We consider it the best of all clingstones. 20 cents each; $1.50 for 10; $12.00 per 100.
Old Mixon Cling. Large, with red cheek; juicy, rich and high flavored; one of the best clingstone peaches. White flesh. August 20th.
Old Mixon Free. Large, white flesh, with deep red cheek; rich and good; one of the best. August.
Picquet's Late. A Georgia variety of large size; yellow, with red cheek; flesh yellow, melting, sweet, of the highest flavor; freestone; a valuable acquisition. September.
Queen. A very late September variety. Originated in Howell County, Missouri. Free- stone, white flesh, red cheek. 25 cents each; $1.00 for 5; $15.00 per 100.
Ringgold Cling. Much larger than Heath, everyway an improvement on that popular kind. September 1st.

Trees 4 to 6 feet.

OUR SELECT LIST OF VARIETIES.
Abundance. This is a remarkable fruit indeed. Its growth is so strong and hand- some as to equal in thrift and beauty the Kieffer Pear, which it excels in early and profuse bearing. It is exceedingly hardy. Its propensity for early bearing is such that it bends the limbs with the weight of fruit until they sometimes break. We have seen even little two year old trees but 6 feet high, white with bloom and set heavily with large fine Plums. The fruit is very large, showy and beautiful amber, turning to a rich bright cherry color, with a decided white bloom, and highly perfumed. Flesh light yellow? exceedingly juicy and ten- der, and of a delicate sweetness impossible to describe. For canning it is also of the greatest excellence. Its season is very early, ripening in advance of the European Plums.
New Haven (Missouri) Nurseries.
11
Burbank. The fruit is usually from 5 to oV2 inches in circumference, varying less in size than the other Japanese Plums; it is nearly globular; clear cherry-red, sometimes showing yellow dots, or even marbled, with a thin lilac bloom; flesh deep yellow, firm and meaty, rich and sugary, with a peculiar and very agreeable flavor; tree vigorous, with strong shoots, and large, rather broad leaves.
Common Damson. Well known and very productive. Season September.
Golden Beauty. Round, almost as large as Wild Goose; rich golden yellow; very firm; small seed, nearly free, excellent in quality, immensely productive, free from curculio, large, light, glossy green leaves, young wood, yellow when mature; endures drouth well. This plum is astonishing all who see its ropes of rich golden fruit, rivaling the apricot in quality. September.
German Prune. Very profitable, and will succeed wherever Common Damson can be grown. Very large. We consider it the best of the European sorts. August and September.
Ogon. It is large, nearly round; of the brightest golden yellow imaginary; flesh firm, sweet, rich and dry ; is the most free of all plums, as there is not a particle of flesh that adheres to the stone when broken or cut open. It seldom fails to produce a large crop of fruit. The tree is vigorous and entirely hardy.
Red. June. Rapidly taking the front rank as one of the best Japanese varieties. Prof. Bailey says: "By all odds the best Japanese Plum, ripening before Abundance." Tree up- right, vigorous, hardy and productive. 40 cents each, 11.00 for 3.
Shropshire Damson. A plum of fine quality, as free from the attacks of the curculio as the Common Dawson, and of the same color. The flesh is amber colored, juicy and sprightly. In market it has commanded nearly double the price price of the Common Damson, and is enormously productive. Last of September.
Satsuma. (Blood). Large, globular, with sharp point; color, purple and red, with blue bloom, flesh firm, juicy, dark red or blood color, fine quality, pit very small, hardy and vig- orous grower, is succeeding well in most sections. August.
Shipper's Pride. This plum originated in northwestern New York, near the shore of Lake Ontario and has never been known to freeze back a particle in .the severest winters. Size large; color dark purple; flesh firm and excellent quality; vigorous. First of September.
Willard. One of the imported Japanese varieties, ripening a month before Abundance. When ripe is dark red, bordering on purple, a long keeper, not inclined to decay, carries to market well, tree a vigorous grower, very hardy and productive. Quality not as good as most of the Japan varieties, largely planted on account of its extreme earliness. June. 50 cents each, $1.00 for 3.
Wild Goose. Large, rich, crimson, beautiful, flesh soft, rich, melting, delicious, with a full fruity flavor. Tree a strong grower, prolific. This variety is among plums what the Ben Davis is among among apples— referring to the American class of plums. July.
Wickson. New. The latest of Mr. Burbank's introduction. The fact that he recom- mends it alone makes it worthy of a trial by all. A cross between Kelsey and Burbank. Mr. Burbank says of it: "The tree grows in vase form, sturdy and upright, yet as gracefully branching as could be desired, and is productive almost to a fault. The fruit is very large, obconical in shape, of rare beauty, and evenly distributed all over the tree. From the time it is half grown until a few days before ripening, the fruit is a pearly white color, but all at once soft pink shadings creep over it. and in a few days it has changed to a glowing carmine, with a heavy white bloom; the stone is small and the flesh is of fine texture, firm, sugary and delicious, and will keep two weeks or more after ripening, or can be picked when hard and white, and will color and ripen almost as well as if left on the tree, Ripens after Bur- bank and before Satsuma. Among the many thousand Japanese Plums which I have fruited, this one, so far. stands pre-eminent in its rare combination of good qualities." 40 cents each. 11.00 for 3.

SELECT VARIETIES.
Anjou. (Beurre d' Anjou). A large, handsome pear, buttery and melting, with sprightly vinous flavor ; keeps into mid-winter. Tree a vigorous groAver and good bearer. We have no hesitation in pronouncing it to be one of the most valuable pears in the catalogue. Does equally as well as a standard or a dwarf. Keeps until the winter holidays when it commands very high prices in the market.
Bartlett. Large size, with often a beautiful blush to the sun; buttery, very juicy and high flavored, bears early and abundant! y, very popular; vigorous. August.
Buffum. Medium size; yellow, somewhat covered with reddish brown and russet, but- tery, sweet and excellent. August and September.
Beurre Clairgeau. Large; yellow, shaded with orange and crimson, covered with russet dots, flesh yellow, butter y, juicy, sugary, perfumed vinous flavor. The size, early bearing, productiveness and exceeding beauty render this a valuable sort. September and October.

New Haven (Missouri) Nurseries.
Clapp's Favorite. Large size; pale lemon yellow; flesh fine grained, juicy, melting, rich and buttery ; a cross between Bartlett and Flemish Beauty; earlier than Bartlett, and resembling the Flemish Beauty in growth, having its fruit evenly distributed over the tree; of a uniform size. It is equally hardy with Flemish Beauty; a good grower and productive. In season during August and September.
Duchess d' Angouleme. Very large, dull greenish-yellow, streaked and spotted with russet, flesh white, buttery and very juicy, with a rich and very excellent flavor; on the quince, to which stock this variety seems well adapted, it. is always fine; the large and fine appearance of this fruit makes it a general favorite. September and October.
Early Harvest. This variety originated on the Ohio river about 100 miles West of Cincinnati, where it is planted as a valuable market variety. The tree is very vigorous and long lived and as nearly free from blight as any other sort in cultivation. The fruit is large golden yellow with a fine red cheek, flavor poor, but it sells well in the market because of its size and color and earliness in ripening; ripens one month before the Bartlett.
Flemish Beauty. Large size, greenish-yellow and brown, with large spots of russet ; rich and juicy, with a melting and musky flavor; an old and highly esteemed variety, a strong grower and a great bearer, hardy and desirable. This variety ranks for hardiness among Pears as the Duchess of Oldenburg among Apples. In season during September and October.
Garber Pear. Many inquiries reach us regarding the Garber. We consider it almost blight proof, a strong growing tree, hardy and productive. Fruit large and showy, destined to become one of the leading market sorts. Ripens early in October. Prices as above.
Howell. An early and profuse bearer; very hardy. Ripens in August and September Krull. See New Pears.
Kieffer. Probably no fruit has ever had so much praise and condemnation, but the fact that large growers who planted orchards of it several years ago are still planting it largely is the best evidence of its value; while not of best quality, properly ripened it is a fair dessert fruit and one of the very best for canning and preserving. Its large size and handsome appearance will always cause it to sell readily on the market. Its freedom from blight, early bearing, wonderful productiveness, exceedingly vigorous growth and hand- some appearance all indicate that it has come to stay. October and November.
Roonce. See New Pears.
Louise Bonne, Large, greenish yellow, with a bright red cheek; juicy, buttery and melting, excellent; very productive. One of the best on the Quince. September and October.
Lincoln. See New Pears.
Manning's Elizabeth. Small to medium; bears in clusters, crimson and gold color, very beautiful, melting, rich, sugary, sprightly perfumed flavor; excellent; very productive, one of the best early pears; vigorous. July.

STRAWBERRIES.
Soil and Cultivation. With the great improvement of varieties that has taken place the last few years, has come a demand for the best and most prolific Strawberries, for plant- ing in the market and home garden. The more intelligent cultivator, planting the most ap- proved varieties, and giving them thorough culture and liberal manuring, is making money by so doing. On some soils the hill system of rows, 2% to 3 feet apart, and plants 12 to 15 inches apart, and all runners kept cut off, proves profitable, while on some light sandy soils, where only the first two or three early pickings are profitable, it is found best to grow the plants in broad, matted rows, with just enough space between them for the pickers to pass along. But, on the whole, the most profitable, general plan, is to plant in rows 3 feet apart, with plants a foot to eighteen inches in a row, according to the vigor of the variety, allow each plant to make a few runners, just enough to form a narrow matted row not more than one foot wide. This gives ample room to work horse and cultivator at all seasons, provides for plenty of moisture in a dry time, and results in more and better berries than can be grown under any other system.
The Fertilization of Blossoms. The blossoms of most varieties are perfect or bi-sexual, except those marked (P), which are destitute of stamens, and are termed pistillate or im- perfect flowering varieties, and must be planted, near some perfect flowering sort or they will produce little or no fruit. Crescent, Bubach, Haverland, etc.. are of this class, but are among the most productive when a few plants of such varieties as Bederwood, Michel's Early, or other perfect flowering ones, are planted in the same field near them. At least every fifth row in a field of pistillates should be planted with some perfect fllowering sort, while if as many of a perfect flowering sort are to be planted, it is better to plant in alter- nate rows. Perfect flowering sorts are marked (S).
Mulching. For the best results, mulching with some light material is indispensable, which should be applied just as soon as the ground has become slightly frozen, and par- tially or entirely removed when the ground has become "settled" in the Spring.
VARIETIES AND PRICES.
Soil, climate and other local conditions easily affect the Strawberry, and we have se- lected a few that succeed well all over the country. Those without experience will do well to consult with intelligent cultivators in their own neighborhood before ordering ; but if they will state character of soil and leave the selection with us, we believe we can serve them.
The prices quoted are for young plants of the past year's growth, having an abundant of fibrous roots, with roots nicely straightened, and tied in bundles and labeled with name of variety. No old plants are sent out.
See next page for description of varieties and prices.

Bederwood. (S). This is one of the early berries, ripening, as it does, with the earliest. The fruit is of good size, productive and showy, holding its size through a long picking sea- son. It has a perfect flower, fine healthy foilage and can be used to fertilize any early kind. This berry is a little soft for long shipments, but for near market it is hard to beat. $1.00 per 100: §5.00 per 1000.
Bubach. No. 5. (P.) Is au excellent variety. Foliage strong and healthy, with a large leaf free from rust; fruit large, double, flattened at the point; holds its size well through the season, and presents a very attractive appearance in the basket. Quite productive; a very desirable market sort. 25c. per dozen; $1.00 per 100; $5.00 per 1000.
Crescent. (P). This is a very prolific berry, bearing profusely, even under neglect. In growth, it is very vigorous and hardy, and produces better if the vines are not allowed to mat. They should be thinned, even if the hoe has to be used. Fruit colors on all sides at once. A great cropper; early. Price, 75c. per 100; $4.00 per 1000.
Greenville. (P). We have fruited this variety five years. This is one of the best pay- ing berries we have ever raised. It is one of the most productive varieties in cultivation. The plant is a free grower and entirely free from rust. The berries are a little smaller than Bubach, but much more uniform. * Flavor is good. Try a few hundred or thousand of this grand variety. 25c. per dozen; $1.00 per 100; $6.00 per 1000.
Haverland. (P). On account of the wonderful productiveness of this variety, being adapted to all soils, it is more generally planted than any other kind. It ripens with Cres- ent, but is larger and holds its size better. If sold same day as packed it will bring a good price. The fruit is not so firm as one would wish, but for near market it is fine. $1.00 per 100; $5.00 per 1000.
Gandy. (S). This is not a new berry but one whose value as a profitable market sort has been overlooked. The Gandy is to-day as profitable a berry to plant as any we have on our list. Its season is very late, and is in its prime when most other sorts are gone or so nearly so as to be very inferior. The fruit is large, handsome and uniform and makes an excellent showing on the market. While it is claimed by many to be a shy bearer, we find that it yields a fair quantity of berries the first year and improves with age until it becomes 4 or 5 years old. In our markets we find that the price always advances in the latter part of the season when most of the berries are gone. Having a few Gandys we found we were able to get a fancy price for them, often $4.00 or $5.00 per bushel. This makes money rapidly. Plant Gandy and make money. Price $1.00 per 100; $5.00 per 1000.
Mitchell's Early. (S). The introducers speak of it as follows:— "This is an acci- dental seedling, and the earliest and most profitable in cultivation; of the finest flavor; a perfect blossom; as large and firm as the Crescent, ten to twelve days earlier, and as pro- ductive. Plant the hardiest of all known, and free from rust or blight. Growing side by side with twenty other varieties, nothing approaches it in plant-growth, except Bubach No. 5." Price. $1.00 per 100; $4.50 per 1000.
Wariield. (P). This is about the size of the Crescent, but more firm and a better shipper. It is of much better quality than the Crescent. A glossy dark red in color. A great favor- ite for canning. It is a vigorous grower with bright, healthy, foliage, and wonderfully productive. This variety is a splendid shipper. If you raise berries for market be sure to include Warfield in your list. There is a great demand for these plants every season. 75c per 100; $1.00 per 100.
We pay the freight on small orders clubbed tagetlier for shipment to one point, if the amount is $15 or more.

We are growers of what we sell, having over 200 acres devoted exclusively to the nursery business. Many so-called nurserymen, are simply jobbers in t he trade, and cannot sell stock with the same cer- tainty of its being true to name and free from disease.
Our nurseries are right here at New Haven, and we see no reason why ^hey should not remain here permanently. Come and see us.

is of years standing, this catalogue may come into the hands of many *ytao have never dealt with us. and are unacquainted with our respon- sibility. To such we refer to

To Whom It May Concern:
This is to certify that on the 19th day of September, 1898, I examined the Nursery Stock of the New Haven Nurseries. (J. Bagby & Sons Co..) grown in their nurseries at and in the vicinity of New Haven, Franklin County, Missouri, and found no indication of the presence of San Jose Scale, Peach Yellows, Rosette, or other dangerous insect pests or plant diseases, that might be transferred on nursery stock from the nursery to the orchard.
J. M. STEDMAN, Entomologist. Experiment Station. Columbia. Missouri.
l^"We have now growing in our Nurseries nearly one and one-half million Fruit Trees, by actual count, and other stock in proportion. All clean and healthy. No old over grown blocks to breed disease. Seventy-four varieties of bearing peach trees in experimental orchard.
