Hints on Transplanting, Etc.

^^^4-^

We cannot attempt to give complete directions on all points connected
with Tree Planting, but simply a few hints on the more important operations.
Every man who purchases a bill of trees should put himself in possession of
" The Fruit Garden,'' or some other treatise on tree culture, that will furnish
him with full and reliable instructions on the routine of management. Trans-
planting is to be considered under the following heads:

1st. THE PREPARATION OF THE SOIL.— For fruit trees the soil
should be dry either natural or made so by thorough drainage, as they will
not live or thrive on a soil constantly saturated with stagnant moisture. It
should also be well prepared by twice plowing, at least, beforehand, using the
subsoil plow after the common one at the second plowing. On new, fresh
lands manuring will be unnecessary; but on lands exhausted by cropping, fer-
tilizers must be applied, either by turning in heavy crops of clover, or well
decomposed manure or compost. To ensure a good growth of fruit trees, land
should be in as good condition as for a crop of wheat, corn or potatoes.

2d. THE PREPARATION OF THE TREES.— In regard to this
important operation, there are more fatal errors committed than in any other.
As a general thing, trees are planted in the ground precisely as they are sent
from the Nursery. In removing a tree, no matter how carefully it may be
done, a portion of the roots are broken and destroyed, and consequently the
balance that existed in the structure of the tree is deranged. This must be
restored by a proper pruning, adapted to the size, form and condition of the
trees, as follows:

Standard Orchard Trees. — These, as sent from Nursery, vary in height
from three feet and upwards, according to age and variety. Also branched
and without branches. The branches should all be cut back to within three
or four buds of their base. This lessens the demands upon the roots and
enables the remaining buds to push with vigor. Cut off smoothly all bruised
or broken roots up to the sound wood. In case of olders trees of extra size,
the pruning must be in proportion; as a general thing it will be safe to shorten
all the previous years' shoots to three or four buds at their base, and where
the branches are very numerous some may be cut out entirely.

Dwarf, or Pyramidal Trees, on the Quince Stock, if of two or three
years' growth, with a number of side branches, will require to be pruned with
a two-fold object in view, viz: The growth of the tree and the desired form.
The branches must be cut into the form of a pyramid by shortening the lower
ones, say one-half, those above them shorter, and the upper ones around the
leading shoots to within two or three buds of their base. The leader itself
must be shortened back one-half or more. When trees have been dried or
injured much by exposure, the pruning must be closer than if in good order.

Yearling Trees, Intended, for Pyramids. — Some of these may have a few
side branches, the smallest of which should be cut clean away, reserving only

the strongest and the best placed. In other respects they should be pruned as
directed for trees of two years' g^rowth. Those having no aide branches should
be cut back so far as to insure the production of a tier of branches within
twelve inches of the ground. A strong yearling, four to six feet, may be cut
back about half, and the weaker ones more than that. It is better to cut too
low than not low^ enough, for if the first tier of branches be not low enough
the pyramidal form cannot afterwards be perfected.

od. PLANTING. — Dig holes in the first place large enough to admit the
roots of the tree to spread out in their natural position; then, having the tree
pruned as above directed, let one person hold it in an upright position, and
the other shovel in the earth, carefully putting the finest and the best from
the surface among the roots, filling every interstice, and bringing every root
in contact with the soil. When the earth is nearly filled in, a few pails of
water may be thrown on to settle and wash in the earth around the roots;
then, after the ground has settled, fill in the remainder and tread gently with
foot. Guard against planting too shallow and also too deep. The trees, after
the ground settles, should stand in this respect about one to two inches deeper
than they did in the nursery. Trees on dwarf stock should stand so that all
the stock be under the ground, and no more. In very dry, gravelly ground
the holes should be dug twice the usual size and depth, and filled in with
good loamy soil.

4th. STAKING. — If trees are tall and much exposed to winds, a stake
should be planted with the tree, to which it should be tied in such a manner
as to avoid chafing. A piece of matting or cloth may be put between the tree
and the stake.

5th. MULCHING. — When the tree is planted, throw around it as far as
the roots extend, and a foot beyond, five or six inches deep, of rough manure
or litter. This is particularly necessary in dry ground, and is highly advan-
tageous everywhere, both in spring and fall planting. It prevents the ground
from baking or cracking, and maintains an equal temperature about the roots.
This does not apply to large plants, where constant cultivation is required.

Gth. AFTER CULTUBE.— The grass should not be allowed to grow
around young trees after being planted, as it stunts their growth. Theground
should be kept clean and loose around them until, at least, they are of bear-
ing size.

7th. Treatment of Trees tliat Have Been Frozen in the Packages, or
Received During Frosty Weather. — Place the packages, unopened, in a cellar
or some such place, cool, but free from frost, until perfectly thawed, when
they can be unpacked, and either planted or placed in a trench until conveni-
ent to plant. Treated thus, they will not be injured by the freezing. Trees
procured in the fall for spring planting, should be laid in trenches in a slant-
ing position to avoid the winds; the situation should also be sheltered and the
soil dry. A mulching on the roots and a few evergreen boughs over the top
will afford good protection.

st]i. If trees are very dry when received bury them root and branch
in moist soil for four or five days, when they will be found fresh and
plump.

DTSTAXCE BETWEEN TREES IN PLANTATIONS.

Sfaudard Apples. 20 to 30 feet apart each way.
Standard Pears and Cherries, 16 to 20 feet apart each way.
Standard Plums. Peaches, Apricots and Nectarines, 16 to 18 feet apart
each way. The g-reater distance is better where land is not scarce.
Currants. Gooseberries and Raspberries, 4 to 5 feet apart.
Blackberries, 6 to 7 feet apart.

AVHY YOUNG TREES ARE BEST TO PLANT.

Most people have the erroneous idea that the larger and older the tree is
they plant, the sooner will it bear fruit. This is by no means the case, for
trees, after they attain the age of from three to four years, lose their fibrous
root and form a tap root, which is impossible to dig up without some injury.
The act of transplanting is such a shock to the large tree, that it takes from
two to three years to recover from it, and during that time makes little if any
growth; while the young tree, commencing growth the first season after plant-
ing, very soon outgrows the larger one, and being more vigorous, produces
fruit sooner. The larger the tree the less tlbres there will be upon the roots.
A tree that has plenty of fibrous roots will live and flourish, while one that
lacks such feeders will languish and ])erhaps die. At least the chances are
that it will never be a vigorous fruit-bearer. The roots of large trees are
always more or less mutilated in transplanting, while the smaller ones do not
suffer in this way.

Intelligent fruit growers always plant young trees.

The number of plants required for an acre, at any given distance apart,
may be ascertained by dividing the number of square feet in an acre (43,560),
by the number of square feet given to each plant, which is obtained by multi-
plying the distance between roirs by the distance between the p/cni^.s. Thus,
strawberries x^lanted three feet l:)y one, gives each plant three square feet, or
14.520 plants to the acre.

SELECT PEARS.

The following list includes most of those which have been well tested and
prove valuable.

Those designated by a =^ are of American origin. A special list of those
which we find particularly well suited to the Quince stock will be found at
the end of the general list.

Gathering Pears. — One of the most important points in the management
of Pears, is to gather them at the proper time.

Summer Pears should be gathered at least ten days before they are ripe,
and Autumn Pears at least a fortnight. Winter varieties, if they will hang
so long, may be left until the leaves begin to fall.

Thin the Fruit. — We cannot ♦irge too strongly the following suggestion:
When pear trees are heavily laden, the fruit should be thinned when about
one-third grown: else the fruit will be poor and the trees injured.

CLASS I.— Summer Pears.

Bartlett — One of the most popular pears; large; buttery and melting, with
a rich musky flavor. A vigorous, erect grower; bears young and abun-
dantly. Middle to last of September.

"^Ciapp's Favorite — A splendid pear, resembling the Bartlett and ripen-
ing a few days earlier: a cross between that variety and the Flemish
Beauty; the tree is hardy and vigorous, either on the Pear or

Quince. Care should be talcen to pick the fruit at least ten days
before it u-ouid ripen u^pon tlie tree.

Madeline, or Citron Des Carmes— The Madeline is one of the most

refreshing and excellent of the early pears. It takes its name from its
being in perfection in France at the feast of Ste Madeline. The tree is
fruitful and vigorous, with long, erect, olive-colored branches. Fruit of
medium size, pale yellow: flesh white, juicy, melting, with a sweet deli-
cate flavor, slightly perfumed. Middle to last of July.

Souvenir de Gongres — Large to very large, larger than the Bartlett or
Clapp's Favorite, to which it bears a strong resemblance (we have had
specimens which weighed 27 ounces and which measured 14 inches in
circumference): skin smooth, bright yellow when the fruit is fully
matured, with the parts exposed to the sun brilliant red or carmine.
The flesh, while it is like that of the Bartlett, is free from its strong-
musky aroma, and is firm to the core. It commences to ripen in August,
a little before the Bartlett, and extends into September. The tree is a
moderate grower, and to obtain good standard and dwarf trees we are
obliged to work it upon strong, growing sorts. On account of its size,
quality and earliness, it is entitled to a place among the best Pears.

Summer Doyenne (Doyenne d*Ete) — A beautiful, melting, sweet pear,
rather small. Tree a vigorous grower and good bearer. First of August.

*Tyson — Rather above medium size; melting, juicy, sweet and pleasant.
Tree very vigorous and rapid grower; bears abundantly every year; one
of the best summer varieties. Origin. Jenkintown. Pa. August.

CLASS Il.-Select Autiiiiiii Pears.

Angouleme (Duchesse d'Angouleme)— One of the largest of all our good
pears. Succeeds well on the pear, but it attains its highest perfection
on the quince; as a dwarf it is one of the most profitable market pears.
October and November.

Doyenne White — A well know^n and almost universally esteemed variety,
of the highest excellence. Tree a vigorous grower, productive and
hardy; succeeds best in most parts of the West.

Flemish Beauty — A large, beautiful, melting, sweet pear. Tree very
hardy, vigorous and fruitful; succeeds well in most parts of the country.
September and October.

'*'Frederici< Glapp — Size above medium; form generally obovate; skic
thin, smooth, clear lemon yellow; flesh flne grained, very juicy and melt-
ing; flavor sprightly, acidulous, rich and aromatic; season. October 15tti
to November 1st; quality very good to best- Tree a vigorous or f)'ee
grower and somewhat spiny.

"^Howell — One of the flnest American pears; large, handsome; sweet, melt-
ing. Tree very vigorous, hardy and productive. September and Octo-
ber.

*Kieffer (Kieffers Hybrid)— Said to have been raised from seed of the Chi-
nese Sand Pear, accidently crossed with Bartlett or some other kind.
Large; skin rich golden yellow, sprinkled thickly with small dots and
often tinted with red on one side; flesh slightly coarse, juicy, melting,
with a pronounced quince flavor. Tree very rigoi'ous.-dud an early and
great yielder. October and November.

Louise Bonne of Jersey- A large, beautiful, first-rate pear; yellow, with
a dark i-ed choek; molting, vincnis, buttery and rich. Tree a vigorous,,
erect grower and most abundant bearer; best on the quince. Septem-
ber and October.

^Sheldon — A pear of the very tirst quality; large, round; russet and red;
melting, rich and delicious. Tree vigorous, erect and handsome, and
bears well when grown on the pear. It must be double worked on the
quince. October and November.

CLASS ITT.— Select Autuiiiii and Early Winter Pears.

Anjou (Beurre d" Anjou) — A large, handsome pear, buttery and melting, with
sprightly, vinous flavor; keeps into mid-winter. Tree a vigorous grower
and good bearer. We have no hesitation in pronouncing it to be the
most valuable pear in the catalogue. Does equally well as a standard
or a dwarf. Keeps until the winter holidays, when it commands very
high prices in the market.

Glairgeau (Beurre Clairgeau) — Very large; pyriform; yellow and red; hand-
some and attractive; flesh yellowish, nearly melting; keeps sound a
long time after being gathered. Tree a free grower and an early,
abundant bearer; a magniflcent and valuable market fruit.

"^'Lawrence — Size medium to large, obovate; golden yellow; flesh melting,
with a pleasant aromatic flavor. Tree a moderate grower and an abun-
dant bearer; one of the most valuable of all our early winter pears.

CLASS TY.— Select Late Winter Pears.

Easter Beurre — A large, roundish oval fruit; yellow, with a red cheek;
melting and rich. Tree a moderate growler and most abundant bearer;
best on the quince: keeps all u'inter.

P. Barry — This is the third seedling of acknowledged great merit sent out
by the late Mr. Fox. Thorough tests have proved it to be a free and
vigorous grower, an early and proliflc bearer, and in its keeping points,
its size and richness of flavor, coupled w4th its time of ripening, to be

PEARS.— Xew Varieties.

Idaho— A recent introduction from Lewiston, Idaho, of unknown parentage.
It is especially recommended for its hardiness, proliflc bearing qualities,
large size, and ability to stand transportation long distances. As yet
we have not fruited it ourselves, and can, therefore, only give the intro-
ducer's description: "Fruit large, and when fully ripe of a bright
golden yellow color, with a red cheek; flesh white, exceedingly fine
grained, very tender and buttery, with a rich, subdued acid flavor. It
ripens about a month later than the Bartlett, and is said to keep well.
Tree vigorous."

Pratt's Seedling— Originated in Oregon, with Capt. Pratt. A pear with
all the good qualities of the Bartlett, but will keep until March. In
shape and color like the Sheldon, but larger. The tree is a moderate
grower, with a more spreading top than the Bartlett. Has been shown
at our Fruit Conventions, and is endorsed by all our fruit growers; a fine
acquisition to our list of winter varieties.

Winter Bartlett — This fine pear originated at Eugene, Oregon, The tree
stands in a door yard in that city, bearing fine fruit, and has, wdth
possibly two or three exceptions, borne a good crop for over 20 years.
Tree very vigorous, a foot in diameter and 40 feet high. Has had no
pruning or care, yet it is as symmetrical and pretty shaped tree as one
ever sees. Fruit large, closely resembling the Bartlett in shape and
appearance, perfectly smooth; flesh tender, juicy and melting; flavor
similar to the Winter Neilis, but season a little later, and as good as can
be desired. In every irajj a grand pear.

CHERRIES.

The Cherry succeeds well on dry soils, and is susceptible of being trained
in any form that taste or circumstances may require.

For orchards, where there is ample room for large trees, and in climates
where it is not subject to the bursting of the bark, standards with four or five
feet of clean trunk are preferable.

For door-yards, where shade and ornament are taken into account, stand-
ards of the free growing sorts, with erect habits and large foliage, are the
most suitable.

For fruit gardens, and particularly those of moderate extent, and in
localities where the bark of the trunk is liable to burst, the pyramid or con-
ical trees, dwarf or low standards, with two or three feet of trunk, and the
dwarfs, branching within a foot of the ground, are the most appropriate and
profitable.

CLASS L— Heart Cherries.

Fruit heart shaped, with tender, sweet fiesh. Tree of rapid growth, with
large, soft, drooping leaves.

Black Eagle— Large, black; tender, rich, juicy and high flavored. Tree a
moderate grower and productive. Ripe beginning of July.

Black Tartarian — Very large, purplish black; half tender; flavor mild
and pleasant. Tree a remarkably vigorous, erect and beautiful grower
and an immense bearer. Ripe last of June and beginning of July. One
of the most popular varieties in all parts of the country.

Coe's Transparent — Medium size; pale amber, mottled and red next the
sun; tender, sweet and Hne; one of the best. End of June. Tree vig-
orous and erect.

red; tender and delicious. Tree a vigorous grower and most produc-
tive. End of June. Hangs well on the tree.

CLASS IT. — Bigarreau Cherries.

These are chiefly distinguished from the preceding class by their firmer
flesh. Their growth is vigorous, branches spreading, and foliage luxuriant,
soft and drooping.

Napoleon — A magnificent cherry of the largest size; pale yellow, with a
bright red cheek; flesh very firm; juicy and sweet. Tree a vigorous,
erect grower, and bears enormous crops; ripens late; valuable for can-

CLASS III.— Duke and Morello Cherries.

These two classes of cherries are very distinct from the preceding. The
trees are of smaller size, and grow more slowly; the leaves are thicker and
more erect, and of a deeper green. The fruit is generally round, and in color
varying from light red to dark brown.

The dukes have stout, erect branches usually, and some of them, like
Reine Hortense, quite sweet fruit; while the Morellos have slender, spreading
branches, and acid fruit invariably. These two classes are peculiarly appro-
priate for dwarfs and pyramids, on the Mahaleb stock, and their hardiness
renders them well worthy of attention in localities where the Heart and
Bigarreau are too tender.

Belle Wlagnifique— A magnificent, large, red, late cherry, excellent for
cooking and fine for table when fully ripe; rather acid, tender, juicy
and rich. Tree a slow grower, but a most profuse bearer; makes a fine
dwarf or pyramid on the Mahaleb. Last of July. Very valuable.

Early Richmond— An early, red, acid cherry; very valuable for cooking
early in the season. Ripens througti June. Tree a free grower, hardy
and very productive.

Empress Eugenie— Large, dark red; flesh juicy, rich; tree robust, and
moderately productive. July.

Late Duke— Large; light red; late and excellent. Tree robust, and makes
a nice dwarf or pyramid. End of July. Valuable.

Way Duke — An old, well-known, excellent variety; large; dark red; juicy,
sub-acid, rich. Tree hardy, vigorous and fruitful; ripens a long time
in succession; fine for dwarfs and pyramids. Middle of June.

ior to both ^Vragg and English Morello. Large, heart shaped, nearly
black when ripe, juicy and rich: not as acid as English Morello; fine for
dessert and kitchen use: unsurpassed for market. Blooms late: one of.
if not the most productive variety, commencing to fruit on young trees*
and producing annually heavy crops.

Olivet — Large; ver^ shining, deep red: tender, rich and vinous, with a very
sweet sub-acidulous fiavor; promising. June.

Reine Hortense — A French cherry of great excellence; large, bright red:
tender, juicy, nearly sweet and delicious. Tree vigorous and bears well;
makes a beautiful pyramid. July.

SELECT PLUMS.

These are generally five to six feet in height, and. like all the stone fruits,
should have heads as low as possible.

Bavay's Green Gage (Reine Cloude de Bavay) — One of the best foreign
varieties. As large as the Washington, and of fine flavor: roundish
oval; greenish, marked with red in the sun. Tree a free grower and

rich and sweet; adheres to the stone. Tree a moderate grower and very
productive. Valuable not only on account of its large size and fine
appearance, but its lateness. Last of September.

Columbia — Originated on the Columbia river, where it is extensi-rely grown^
It is very large. Flesh rich and finely flavored. Its excellent shipping
qualities and time of ripening, being a little later than most of the other
leading varieties, commends it as one of the best to plant for the mar-
ket.

Green Gage- Small, but of the highest excellence. Tree a moderate
grower. We have to top graft it to get goods trees. September.

PRUXES.

Fellenberg (Large German Prune. Swiss Prune, Italian Prune) — Medium
size, oval; dark purple; flesh juicy and delicious; parts from the stone;
flne for drying. Tree a free grower and very productive.

French Prune (Petite d'Agen. Burgundy Prune)— The well known variety
so extensively planted for drying: medium size, egg-shaped, violet pur-
ple: juicy, very sweet, rich and sugary: very prolific bearer.

German Prune (Common Quetsche; — From this variety the dried prunes
exported from Germany are made: the name, however, has been applied
to numerous plums and prunes, which are all sold under it. The fruit
of the true German Prune is long. oval, and swollen on one side; skin
purple, with a thick blue bloom; flesh firm, green, sweet, with, a pecu-
liar pleasant flavor; separates readily from the stone. September.

Hungarian Prune (Grosse Prune d'Aagem— Very large; dark red; juicy
and sweet. Its large size, bright color, productive and shipping quali-
ties render it a profitable variety for home or distant markets.

Silver Prune — Originated with W. H. Pettyman, of Oregon. Mr. Petty-
man says of it. "that it is a seedling from Coe's Golden Drop, which it
most resembles, but is more productive, one tree of the Silver Prune
producing more fruit than five of Coe's Golden Drop." Samples of
dried fruit brought the highest price in the San Francisco market, and
it is, in the judgment of fruit experts, because of its large size and
superior flavor, entitled to rank first among prunes and drying plums.
September.

Tragedy Prune — A new prune originated by Mr. Runyon, near Courtland,
in Sacramento County. It would seem to be a cross between the Ger-
man Prune and Duane's Purple. Fruit medium size, nearly as large as
the Duane Purple; looks much like it, only it is more elongated; skin
dark purple; flesh yellowish green, very rich and sweet; frees rapidly
from the pit. Its early ripening (in July) makes it very valuable as a
shipping fruit.

SELECT PEACHES.

To secure healthy, vigorous and fruitful trees and fine fruit, the following .
points must be well attended to in peach culture: Ist. Keep the heads low —
the trunks ought not to exceed three feet in height. 2d. Attend regularly
every spring to pruning and shortening the shoots of the previous year's

UTAH NURSERY COMPANY.

growth. This keeps the head round, full and well furnished with bearing
wood. Cut weak shoots back about one-half, and strong ones one-third; but
see that you have a sufficient supply of fruit buds. Sickly and superfluous
shoots should be cut clean out.

It should always be borne in mind that the fruit is produced on the wood
of the last season's growth, and hence the necessity for keeping up a good
supply of vigorous annual shoots all over the tree. The plum stock is advan-
tageous in stiff clay, cold and damp soils.

Note. — In planting peaches, it is of the highest importance to cut back
the tree severely. The stem should be reduced about one-third and the side
branches cut back to one bud. This lessens the demand upon the roots and
enables the remaining buds to push more vigorously. Most failures in newly
])lanted orchards may be ascribed to a non-observance of these directions.

Alexander — Medium to large size; skin greenish white, nearly covered with
deep, rich red; flesh melting, juicy, sweet. Tree vigorous and produc-
tive: ripens two weeks before Hale's Early; one of the largest and best
of the extra early varieties, and valuable for market as well as for home
use.

Arkansaw Traveller—Kesembling the Alexander, though much larger
and of finer flavor.

Amsden — Medium to large size; skin greenish white, nearly covered with
purple in the sun; flesh melting, juicy, sweet, very good; ripens at same
time as the Alexander, and appears to be nearly, if not identical.

Chairs' Choice— What Franklin Chairs, one of the most successful fruit
growers in Anne Arundle Co., Md., says of it: "Tree now seven years
of age. originated at Leading Point Lighthouse, Anne Arundle Co.,
bearing at four years of age four to Ave bushels of fruit, and fruiting
heavily every year since. The prices obtained were nearly double those
for the Smock and other late varieties; I consider it the best peach I
ever saw for 'dollars and cents,' and have planted 900 trees of that var-
iety. It is a firm yellow freestone, rich in color, splendid flavor, excel-
lent for canning purposes, being fully Ave days later than Smock,''

Crawford's Ear!y— A magnificent, large, yellow peach, of good quality.
Tree exceedingly vigorous and prolific; its size, beauty and productive-
ness make it one of the most popular varieties. Beginning of Septem-
ber.

Early Charlotte— An improved seedliDg from Carwford's Early, origi-
nated in Oregon in 1878, where it is attracting more attention among
fruit growers than any other new peach ever introduced. It resembles
Crawford's Early, but is much larger, handsomer, and of superior qual-
ity; the tree is a better grower, hardier and more productive. This free,
yellow and remarkable new peach succeeds in Oregon, where all other
sorts fail, on account of the extraordinary power of the tree to with-
stand the leafblight, the great enemy of the peach on the Pacific Coast.

Elberta — This variety originated in Georgia some years ago and has proved
to be one of the most valuable for that region. It is also highly spoken
of in other parts of the country. This peach has done remarkably well,
and is considered highly promising. Large, yellow; quality good.
Ripens about with Crawford's Late.

Foster —Originated near Boston, A large yellow peach resembling Craw-
ford's Early, but of better quality. Ripe about the same time as Craw-
ford's Early, or a little earlier.

Co., Kan, It is the most beautiful and showy yellow free in cultivation-
Highly colored, rich, sweet, .iuicy and of superior flavor. Its remarka-
ble large size for the time of ripening— about ten days later than the
Amsden— has placed it in the front rank as a market and family peach.
Tree strong grower, hardy and very productive.

ish white, with a purplish red cheek; fiesh greenish white, a little
coarse; juicy, melting, pleasant sub acid. Ripe latter part of Septem-
ber,

Large Early York— A large and beautiful variety; white, with a red
cheek; tiesh firm, yet melting; very juicy and rich. Season end of Sep-
tember.

Lemon Free— Almost lemon shape, pointed at the apex; color a pale lemon
yellow when ripe. It is of large size, of excellent quality. Ripens after
Late Crawford.

Muir — This very remarkable peach originated with G. M, Thissel, of Winters,
CaK, who gives the following description: " I believe it to be a seedling
from the Early Crawford, though the tree does not resemble the Craw-
ford; the leaf is more like a willow. It is wn excellent bearer, does not
curl. The fruit is large to very large; is a very free stone; never saw
one stick to the pit. It is a fine shipper, and one of the best canning
peaches in the United States. It requires but little sugar, and many
pronounce it sweet enough without any. As a drying peach it excels
all others ever introduced into the market,"

ous. Tree very hardy and productive; valuable for the orchard. Suc-
ceeds Crawford's Late.

"^Salway — An English peach; large, roundish; skin creamy yellow; flesh
deep yellow, juicy, melting, rich. A valuable late peach for market.

Schumaker — A very early peach, of the type of Alexander, and closely
resembling that variety in every way. The skin, however, seems to be
higher colored, and the fruit, therefore, more showy.

Sneed — The earliest peach known; originated in the South, where it has
fruited for several years, and, so far, has not failed to ripen eight to ten
days before Alexander, and, on account of its earliness, has proven very
profitable. Fruit medium size, creamy white, with light blush cheek;
excellent quality, resembling its parent, Chinese Cling; productive.

Stephens' Rareripe — A fine, handsome, late, white peach, the most
profitable market variety after Crawford's Late, large, very showy and

the sunny side; flesh yellow, rather firm, juicy, sweet, and of tine
quality. Ripens between Early and Late Crawford. Tree vigorous and
healthy.

Willet — One of the very best late peaches.

The apricot is one of the most beautiful and delicious fruits we possess,
and its value is greatly enhanced by the season of its ripening — between cher-
ries and peaches.

ripens early.

Rea (Rea's Mammoth) — A very large and fine variety of the Orange Quince.
A strong grower and productive. We consider this the best of all the

I XL — Introduced by Mr. Hatch, of Suisun, Cal., whose description we give:
" Tree a strudy, rather upright grower, with large leaves; nuts large,

HARDY NATIVE GRAPES.

CLASS T.— Black firapes.

Campbell's Early — Almost every vineyardist knows of that veteran horti-
culturist, Geo. W. Campbell, who has devoted a large share of his life
to the improvement of the Grape. For man y years he has been endeav-
oring to produce a variety equal to or better than Concord, with its
faults eliminated. Thousands of cross-bred seedlings have been pro-
duced, many of exceptional merit, but all vigorously excluded that did
not come up to his high standard. Campbell's Early, after years of test-
ing, is offered, confident that it will prove superior in all important
respects to any other now known, for general planting in all sections
where any of our hardy, native varieties can be successfully grown. Its
strong, hardy, vigorous growth; thick, heavy, perfectly healthy foliage:
very early ripening and abundant bearing of large and handsome
clusters of excellent quality, combined with the most remarkable keep-
ing and shipping qualities, form a combination equaled by no other
grape. Its period of full maturity is from the middle to the last of
August, according to the season, ripening with Moore's Early, but
unlike that variety, it has kept sound and perfect, both on and off tlie
vine, for weeks after Moore's Early was decayed and gone. In dessert
quality it is unrivalled by any of our present list of first early market
grapes. It is, both as to cluster and berry, of large size, of a glossy
black color with a beautiful blue bloom; pulp sweet and juicy; free
from foxiness; seeds small, few in number and part readily from the
pulp. For those who do not swallow grape seeds, this variety will be a
great favorite.

Clinton — Bunches small and very compact; berries small; sprightly: when
thoroughly ripe is a good table grape and keeps well; valuable for wine.
A free, rapid grower and profuse bearer; ripens earlier than the Isa-
bella. Deserves to be more extensively grown by the amateur for the
table on account of its valuable keeping qualities.

Concord — A large, handsome grape ripening a week or two earlier than the
Isabella; very hardy, productive and reliable; succeeds well ovei- a
great extent of country, and is one of the most popular m-irket grapes.

Early Victor (New Kansas Grape) — Of this promising new grape the origi-
nator says: ''After eight years of fruiting, it is found to possess those
most important qualities, perfect hardiness, great victor, enorrnons
productiveness, icithout tlie least sign of ntilden- on leaf or fruit."
Bunch and berry medium size, tender, sweet, rich and pure flavored;
black, covered with a blue bloom; makes a fine, highly flavored wine
like Claret. It has fruited in Missouri, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Con-
necticut successfully. Ripens two weeks before Concord.

Isabella — Bunches long, large, loose; berries large, oval; juicy, sweet and
musky. A vigorous grower, hardy, an immense bearer; a good keeper.

Wioore's Early — Bunch medium; berry large, round, black, with a heavy
blue bloom; flesh pulpy and of medium quality; vine hardy and moder-
ately productive; ripens with the Hartford. Its large size and earli-
ness render it desirable for an early crop.

Wilder (Rogers' No. 4)— Bunch very large, compact, shouldered; berry large,
round, black; flesh tender, slight pulp at centre, juicy, sweet. Ripens
about with Concord. Vine vigorous, hardy and a good bearer.
Regarded as one of the best of the black varieties, and on account of
its size and beauty is very valuable for market.

Worden — Said to be a seedling of the Concord. Bunch large, compact,
handsome; berries large- larger than those of the Concord. It ripens a
few days earlier, and is superior to it in flavor. Destined to become
very popular for the vineyard and garden.

CLASS II.— Red and Reddish Purple Grapes.

Agawam (Rogers" No. 15) — One of the best of the red varieties; bunch vari-
able in size; sometimes large and handsome; ffesh tender and juicy.
Vine a good grov/er and be-^rer.

Flesh rich, sweet, and of the best quality, equal, if not superior, to Dela-
ware; ripens early, with the Delaw^are, Eumelan and Hartford. Vine
productive and vigorous.

Catawba — Bunches large and loose; berries large, of coppery red color,
becoming purplish when well ripened; vinous, rich; requires the most
favored soils and situations, good culture and warm seasons to mature
perfectly in Western New York.

Delaware— This fruit has fully maintained its reputation as one of the
finest of our native grapes. The vine is comparatively slender, but
grows freely, and is perfectly hardy in this climate; ripens early. Bunch
small and compact; berries small, light rt-d, with a violet bloom, beauti-
ful; sweet, sugary and vinous, with a musky aroma. It justly claims a
place in every garden.

lona — Bunch medium to large, shouldered; flesh soft, tender, juicy, brisk
sub-acid, high flavored, sprightly and refreshing; keeps till mid-winter
with its freshness unimpared. In this locality one of the finest table
grapes. A little earlier than Catawba. Should be in every graden
where the climate admits of its being ripened. It must not be allowed
to overbear.

Salem (Rogers' No. 53) — Bunch large, compact; berry large, round; coppery
red; flesh tender, juicy; slight pulp; in quality one of the best. Ripens

Elvira Grape — A new seedling from Missouri, considered the most promis-
ing new white grape grown. Skin thin, almost transparent; pulp sweet,
very tender, juicy and of fine flavor. Vine a strong, healthy grower,
very hardy, having stood the severe winters of 1872 and 1873 without
protection. Ripens about ten days later than the Concord, and prom-
ises to be the leading white wine grape of the Middle States.

compact, generally double shouldered; berry medium to large, round;
color yellow, with a tinge of red on the sunny side, and covered with
bloom; flesh soft, tender, juicy, sweet and good, not rich. Vine remark-
ably vigorous and productive and the fruit is beautiful when in perfec-
tion. It ripens after the Concord. A noble grape, worthy of careful
trial.

Martha- Bunch medium, moderately compact, shouldered: berry medium^
roundish; flesh somewhat pulpy; a little foxy, but good; ripens earlier
than Concord. Vine hardy and vigorous.

Moore's Diamond— A new early, hardy white grape. Produced from seed
of Concord crossed with lona Vine; very hardy, healthy and vigorous.
Ripens from two to four weeks earlier than Concord.

Niagara — Said to be a cross of Concord and Cassady. Bunch medium
to large; compact, occasionally shouldered; berry large, roundish, uni-
form; skin thin but tough, pale green at flrst. changing to pale yellow
when fully ripe, with a thin whitish bloom; flesh slightly pulpy, tender,
sweet, not quite equal to the Concord. Before it is fully matured it has
a very foxy odor, which disappears, to a great extent, later. Vine
remarkably vigorous, healthy and productive; foliage thick and leathery.
Ripens with the Concord. This variety is no doubt destined to supply
the long felt want among white grapes.

BLACKBERRIES.

In the garden, plant m rows about five feet apart, and four feet apart in
the rows. In the field, plant in rows six feet apart, and three feet apart in
the rows. Treat the same as Raspberries. They may be planted in the fall
or spring.

Early Harvest — Of small size, fair quality and very early: plant vigorous
and productive. Appears to be tender.

Erie (New) — Fruit large, of good quality: plant hardy, vigorous an^l pro-
ductive. Very early. A promising new variety.

Kittatinny— Large, roundish, conical, slossy black, juicy, sweet, excellent
when fully ripe: one of the most valuable sorts for u'eneral planting.

Wilson's Early — Fruit large; very productive; early. In some sections of
the country it has to be protected.

Wilson^ Jr. —Large, luscious and sweet as soon as colored. Plant hardy;
ripens earlier and is said to be more productive than its parent.

Dewberries, or Running Blackberries.

Lucretia — The plants are perfectly hardy and healthy, and remarkably pro-
ductive. The flowers are very large and showy. The fruit which
ripens with the Mammoth Cluster Raspberry, is very large, soft, sweet
and luscious throughout, without any hard center or core. As the Dew-
berry roots only from the tips, and does not sprout like blackberries,
this will be much more desirable for garden, culture, and the trailing
habit of the plant will render winter protection easily accomplished in
cold climates, where that precaution may be necessary. The Lucretia
has proven to be the best variety of Dewberj-y. and is recognized as a
very valuable acquisition to the list of small fruits; there are, however,
many other varieties, most of which should be avoided, many being
entirely worthless.

To keep a raspberry bed in good productive condition, the old, weak and
dead wood should be cut out every season, to give strength to the young
shoots for the next year's bearing. In spring the weakest suckers should be
removed, leaving five or six of the strongest in each hill. The ground should
be spaded and a top dressing of manure given.

Protection.— To guard against injury by the winter, the canes may be
tied to stakes and covered with straw, or they may be laid down in the
autumn and covered with a few inches of earth, leaves, litter or branches of
evergreen.

They can be planted in the fall or spring with success. Black Caps can-
not be planted in the fall.

AMERICAN SPECIES AND VARRIETIES, BLACK CAP, ETC.

Cuthbert (Queen of the Market) — Medium to large, conical, deep rich crim-
son; very firm; a little dry, but sweet and good, nevertheless. Very
hardy. Season medium to late; unquestionably one of the best varie-
ties for market.

CURRANTS.

Currants can be successfully planted in the fall or spring. Being per-
fectly hardy, they do not suffer injury from the winter. Our stock of plants
is very large and fine.

To destroy the currant worm, dust the plants with white hellebore, when
wet with dew. Care must be taken not to breathe the hellebore, as it causes
violent sneezing.

Black Naples — Similar in appearance and flas'or to the Black English, but
larger and every way finer.

Cherry — The largest of all red Currants; bunches short: plant vigorous and
productive.

Fay's Prolific Currant— A cross between Cherry and Victoria. It has
claimed for it equal size and beauty for the Cherry, with longer clusters,
less acid and better flavor; it has a longer stem, which admits of rapid
picking, and what is of the greatest importance, is very much more pro-
ductive. \Ye quote from the disseminator's description: "Color, rich,
red. As compared with the Cherry Currant. Fav's Prolific is equal in
size, better in flavor, contains less acid and is Jive times as proUfic, and
from its peculiar stem, less expensive to pick."

Lee's Prolific — Larger than Black Naples and very productive.

ORNAMENTAL DEPARTMENT.

Trees, Shrubs, Etc., for Ornament.

We are just beginning- to appreciate the value and importance of planting
Ornamental Trees, Shrubs and Plants. Evergreens and Deciduous Hedges, for
lawns and yards, and screens for the protection of our orchards and gardens,
and yet we have scarcely begun to realize the commercial value of such an
investment to our homes. We know a keen, sagacious business man in one of
our larger cities who has operated for years past in the following manner: He
buys a tract of land in the suburbs of the city, cuts it up into liberal sized
building lots, drives stakes for a house, and immediately plants the ground
with fruit and ornamental trees, shrubs and hedges. He then employs a good
man to care for them, and does not ofiFer the lots for sale for two or three
years, well knowing that the increasing value of the property will pay him
good interest on the investment. When a purchaser goes to look at the prop-
erty, he finds that when his house is built, he has, instead of a naked house
on a bare lot, a neat and beautiful home, with its growing trees and plants,
which it would have taken years to get around him. Many of our most active
business men are also men of taste, and would be glad to improve and beautify
their ground, but they are so occupied with business that they have neitner
time nor disposition to find out what they want or to lay out their grounds.
Some competent man can generally be found to aid in this matter.

HOW TO PLANT.

Flower gardens and graveled walks are beautiful, but expensive, and
require constant labor to keep them in order. Grass and trees are always
charming and need but little care. In the laying out and plantingof grounds
have regard to economy of labor. Let there be as few walks as possible: cut
your flower beds (not manyi in the turf; and don't make the lawn a checker-
board of trees and shrubs. Mass them on the boundary lines or in groups,
leaving a broad expanse of green for the eye to rest on. and the mower to
sweep freely over. If an unpleasant object is m sight, conceal it by planting
free-growing trees: if there is a pretty view, leave an opening. While it is not
well to have large trees near the house, there should be at least one at the
sunny corner, for summer shade. Plant flowering shrubs and the smaller
evergreens in circles or ovals, and twice as thick as they should stand when
fully grown. This will make a show at once, and in two years or more you
can take out one-half, leaving the rest to fill up the space, and obtaining a
supply of tinely rooted plants to set somewhere else. Keep the shrubs and
trees cultivated or mulched the first two seasons, and then let the turf grow

about them. Mow the grass frequently, except in mid-summer, and top-dress
with fine manure every fall and winter.

Straogliug growers like the Frosythia and Pyrus Japonica. should be
repeatedly pinched back or clipped during the growing season to produce a
close, compact form. Weigelas and Deutzias should be pruned like currants,
leaving the strong wood to flower. Altheas and some of the Spireas which
bloom on the new shoots, may be pruned back each year to the old wood. A
very beautiful hedge can be made by intermingling different Flow^ering
Shrubs, and clipping according to the directions given below, or allowing
them to grow naturally.

HEDGES.

The idea of planting Hedges for use and ornament, and screens for the
protection of the orchards, farms and gardens is a practical one, and rapidly
becoming appreciated.

They serve not only as protection against the fierce winds, but there is
much less trouble from the blowing off of fruit. Some writers tell us that the
temperature is warmer in the vicinity of Evergreens. However this may be,
we know that our gardens are earlier, and that our fruits ripen better when
protected by such screens. Nothing can be more beautiful than ornamental
hedges of Evergreens or shrubs well kept and pruned to serve as boundary
lines between neighbors, or as divisions between the lawn and garden, or to
hide unsightly places. By using medium sized plants, a hedge can be made
as cheaply as a good board fence can be built, and then with a very little care
it is becoming every year more and more '"a thing of beauty." We all know
that such hedges constitute a principal attraction in our best kept places.

habit, an erect grower, becoming in time a large sized shrub; flowers
pure white and produced in great profusion in June and the plants
continue to bloom during the summer, even until autumn.

CLIMBING PLANTS.

Ampelopsis (American Ivy or Virginian Creeper).

Has beautiful digitate leaves that become rich crimson in autumn; a
very rapid grower; like the Ivy it throws out tendrils and roots at
the points, by which it fastens itself to anything it touches; one of
the finest vines for covering walls, verandas, or trunks of trees;
affords shade quickly.
VEITCHII (Japan Creeper)— Leaves smaller than those of the Ameri-
can and overlap one another, forming a dense sheet of green. The
plant is a little tender while young and requires protection the first
winter; but once established there is no further risk. It grows
rapidly and clings to wall or fence with the tenacity of Ivy; the
foliage is very handsome in summer and changes to crimson scarlet
in autumn; for covering of walls, stumps of trees, rookeries, etc.,
no plant is so useful. For the ornamentation of brick and stone
structures it can be specially recommended.

has long pendent clusters of purple flowers in spring and autumn.

CHIXESE WHITE— Similar to the above, except in color of the flow-
ers, which in these are pure white.

Giemafis Goccinea (The Scarlet Clematis).

This remarkably handsome climbing plant, after several years' trial, has
proved to be one of the most desirable for any purpose where climb-
ing plants are required. The plant is a herbaceous perennial, the
stems dying to the surface each winter ( this is an advantage where
an unobstructed view is required in winter); the vines attain the
height of from 8 to 10 or 12 feet, beginning to flower in June and
continuing until frost; single vines have from 20 to 30 flowers on
each, and frequently as many as ten vines will start from one crown
each season. The flowers are bell-shaped: in color a rich, deep-
coral scarlet, shining as if polished, and lasting a long time when
cut. Indeed, one of the most beautiful plants for festooning is to
be found in Clematis Coccinea. with its peculiar shaded green and
elegantly cut and varied foliage; if it never flowered it would be a
handsome climbing vine. The plant, during our observation, has
no insect pests or enemies; it grows freely in any soil, requiring one
or two hours" sunshine to strengthen the vine sufficiently to make
a successful flowering season, and above all is perfectly hardy,
standing exposure in our severest winters without harm.

SELECT ROSES.

CLASS I.— Hybrid Perpetual Roses.

This class of Roses are the most desirable on account of their free bloom-
ing and are particularly desirable for cold climates, because they are entirely
hardy. Though slight protection in winter in exposed situations is always
desirable: this may be done by hilling up the earth, or better, by strewing
leaves or straw lightly over the plants and securing them with evergreen
branches or brush of any kind. Pruning should be done in March or early in
April. Remove two-thirds of the past year's growth. All weak and decayed
wood should be entirely cut out. Hybrid Perpetuals and Moss Roses may be
planted in spring or fall.

DAHLIAS.

LARGE FLOWERING.

The Dahlia is well known for its beauty of form and brilliancy of color.
All persons can be successful in its culture if the following hints are observed.

First, it delights in deep rich soil. Let the ground be well dug and
manured with decomposed loam or manure. They may be planted out in
June and well watered during a season of drouth, and they will be benefitted
by a heavy mulching of leaf mould or short manure to keep the roots cool and
moist. If the Dahlia fly attacks them, a little slacked lime dusted over the
tops after rain, or when the dew is on. will be of service to them. The roots
should be taken up in the fall and well dried. Keep them in a cellar or some
cool place free from heat and frost.

tlesh melting, with a remarkably rich, racy flavor. Larger and 1;en
days later than Alexander. One of the finest of all peaches for home
use or nearby market. Middle August. Free.

Utah Orange — As near as we have been able to ascertain it originated
near Salt Lake City about twelve years ago. It is very thrifty and
symmetrical in habit, and can always be relied for a good crop in
a fruit season. Fully as large as Foster and about the .«ame color:
quality rich and unsurpassed: parts readily from the pit; ripens
immediately after Elberta and is an excellent shipper.

Improved Bartlett— This valuable pear was first brought to our
notice by one of our customers, a large fruit grower who resides on
the shore of Great Salt Lake. Its origin appears to be unknown, as
he had but one tree of this variety, which came to him with others
purchased and under the name of some of the old well-known
varieties. It is. without doubt, closely related to the Bartlett, but
in many respects superior to this mo-r valuable pear, being a
lontrer keeper, and while in quality and flavor it is somewhat
similar, it is. in our judgment, decidedly better. Fruit larger than
Bartlett. much more highly colored and surface a little more
uneven: hangs well to the tree. We believe when the merits of the
Improved Bartlett become known, it will be rated as the best
commercial variety of its season. We have the only trees on the
market, our stock consistinij of 65 two year, and 200 one year.
Price for two vear. SI.(X) each. 836.00 per doz. One vear, SS-f^ O each.
$30.00 per doz.

Hale's Plum— Mr. Hale says of this plum: "It is the most vigorous of
all the Japans, and there are enough fruit spurs all through the
inside to insure a good crop, even though the buds on the outside
be killed."

Luther Burbank recently wrote: ''Hale's Plum will yield
enouf^h fruit to suit anybody, and every season, too."

Fruit large: brisrht orange, mottled with cherry red: superb in
quality. Ripens middle of September.

eminent. A sturdy, upright grower, productive ahnost to a fault.

PRUNE.

Imperiale Epineuse— There are now some large orchards of this
variety in bearing in California, where they claim that it is decidedly
the most profitable and best prune on the market. The finest
prunes imported from Prance are of this variety, and retail in our
market at from 20 cents to 25 cents per pound. They are generally
put up in small tin boxes. It is claimed the tree is hardy, very
prolific, and an annual bearer. Its uniformly good size, early
ripening and other good qualities commends it as the best prune
for planting.

CHERRY.

Wragg— Very hardy, vigorous and productive; medium dark purple;
hne quality-. July.

The following varieties of cherries, and the descriptions of same
were procured from the Agricultural Experimental Station at Logan,
Utah, who recommend them very highly. We commenced propagating
them very recently, and only have a very few to dispose of:

Double Natte— Fruit is large, nearly black when ripe, cavity shallow,
sature obscure, juice highly colored, quite bitter until dead-ripe,
ripens about the first of August, and is an excellent variety for can-
ning. The tree is low and spreading, has good foliage, does not
winter kill, and is very prolific.

George Glass— Fruit is large, firm, flavor acid, stone quite large, excel-
lent for dessert. Tree is hardy, has tine foilage and is a good bearer.

Griotte du Nord— Fruit medium size, round, dark red. flavor acid.
Slightly astriDgent, is of the Besarabian type, ripens about the tirst
of July. Tree is hardy and vigorous, good bearer.

GOOSEBERRY.

Columbus — Fruit of largest size; oval, handsome greenish yellow: finest
quality. Plant a strong, robust grower, so far free from mildew:
foliage large and glossy. One of the best for general cultivation.

From the Rural New Yorker:

"The best variety yet introduced; seems close to a perfect
gooseberry for our climate. We have three bushes laden— over-
laden— with large, smooth berries, as large as the average foreign
kinds. There is not a trace of mildew on either fruit or foliage."
