E TAKE PLEASURE in presenting a new edition of our Descriptive Catalogue, carefully revised and corrected by the addition of descriptions of new and promising sorts, and the omission of such as greater experience and progress in horticulture and floriculture have proved no longer worthy of general dissemination. Our old customers

will notice a large increase in the number of ornamentals listed, although we have been growing many of them on trial for years. We trust that this edition may prove valuable as a work of reference, as well as aiding our customers in selecting their orders.

The continued patronage of our friends, as shown by their frequent and increasing orders, < ° . : & : assures us that our efforts to please them are appreciated. This will stimulate us to still greater efforts, and will warrant us in making expenditures necessary to secure the best results.

DEMAND FOR NURSERY STOCK.

Nothing better illustrates the progress of our country, the advance in civilization its people are making,and the fact that they are learning to live better, than the greatly increased and continuing demand for nursery stock, both fruit and ornamental.

While this demand is stimulated in part by a knowledgé of-the great profits which result from the systematic planting and careful cultivation of many kinds of fruit, it is by no means limited to this incentive. In every rank and station in life, including the humblest and the most opulent, those residing in town and country, people are ‘beginning to see that nothing can add so much to the comforts of living as a constant supply of the best varieties of the different fruits for home use, and that nothing will do so much to adorn their homes, gratify a sense of the beautiful; and pro- duce refinement in their families as the planting of such well selected varieties of. ornamental trees, shrubs, roses, clematis, etc., as the ground about their houses will permit.

iv Oregon Nursery Company.

Some persuade themselves that the demand for fruit and fruit trees has already reached its limit, but when we remember to what an extent canning and the improved methods of factory drying (still in their infancy) have increased the domestic consumption of different fruits, by rendering them nearly as good as fresh throughout the year, and that by means of these processes and improved facilities for shipping fresh fruits, the fruits of the United States can, and are beginning to be exported to the remotest quarters of the globe, to supply the wants of the millions upon land and sea who have hitherto been-deprived of such luxuries, no one can doubt, that the setting of trees and plants for the production of large and small fruits, at a much better profit that can be derived by ordinary farm crops, is also in its infancy.

We would not tempt the uninitiated with the promise of a large fortune in a few years, without labor or trouble, but we do say that the business of fruit growing, conducted with energy, perse- verance and intelligence, will bring an ample and sure reward.

GOOD CULTIVATION.

Good Cultivation—by which we mean keeping the ground sufficiently fertile and at all times mellow and free from weeds, together with thorough drainage, either natural or artificial—is abso- lutely necessary to success. This, with judicious pruning and proper selection of varieties, suitable for the locality, will, in nearly all portions of the United States, produce gratifying results.

We devote our personal attention to every branch of our business. We aim to include in our assortment the best varieties in each class, for market and family use, and persons ordering from us may rely upon our giving careful attention to their interests.

And here is a block of those Oregon grown one-year budded trees on three-year roots, taller as you will see, than a six foot man; all vigorous and healthy. Is it any wonder that the great commercial orchards are planted with such trees? These are the kind of trees that make great orchards, and when you invest your money in trees you should have good ones, trees that will grow and bear fruit. Buy Oregon one-year budded trees on three-year roots and your orchard

will be a success. OUR NURSERIES

Are located on the Salem Prairie,’ just north and east of the city of Salem. The soil is peculiarly adapted to the growth of high grade nursery stock and without the aid of irrigation. The rainfall during the winter months (November to April) being sufficient to abundantly supply moisture, which is stored up in the ground, to keep the trees growing steadily during the dry summer months, thus securing well developed trees and plants that have not been forced by unseasonable climatic conditions to an abnormal growth, nor that have become stunted on account of like un- seasonable climatic conditions. Our trees continue to grow without interruption from the first of April until the first of September, giving a long growing season and also a long season in which the trees have time to mature and ripen. Our summers being long, dry and cool, and our win- ters moist and mild, creates within the Willamette Valley in Oregon, the ideal location for a nursery, as will be seen from the sub-joined tables for the past twelve years, 1892 to 1903, both in- clusive, taken from the United States Weather Bureau, Department of Agriculture, showing that the temperature of the Willamette Valley varies but very little throughout the entire year.

CLIMATIC INFLUENCES ON NURSERY STOCK.

But few people not’ directly engaged in growing nursery stock fully understand the import- ance of climatic advantages in the production of trees and plants, and many erroneously believe that it is necessary to have a cold, rigorous climate where the temperature goes below zero, to produce a hardy tree or shrub. There can possibly be no greater mistake. Trees grown in a

Introduction. vii

climate where the mercury goes below zero during the winter months, are almost always injured by frost the first winter from bud or graft, resulting in what is called ‘‘ Black Heart.’? This disease (Black Heart) is caused on account of the tree not being thoroughly ripened and matured at the time freezing weather sets in. Nursery stock injured in this way while in the nursery will never thrive, and trees thus injured may appear to grow fairly well for a few years after transplanting into the orchard, still the disease is working in the heart of the trees and sooner or later they will be broken off by the winds and a great loss caused to the orchardist, all on account of the young trees not having the proper climatic conditions surrounding them in the first year from the bud or graft. Trees grown at Salem, Oregon, in the far-famed Willamette Valley, cannot be injured by frost in this way as there is no freezing weather until December or January, and then rarely does the mercury go below zero. Trees grown here have the months of September, October, Novem- ber and most of December in which to ripen and mature the summer’s growth before any frosts occur. The photographs of orchards on the great Bitter Root Stock Farm, at Hamilton, Mon- tana, and other orchardsin the famous Bitter Root Valley shown herein, are the best evidences of the hardiness of our Oregon grown trees. These orchards were purchased from the Oregon Nursery Co., and planted in the spring of 1898, and passed through the big freeze of February, 1899, when the thermometer went down to 4o degrees below zero at Hamilton, Montana, killing off trees on this great ranch that had been purchased from Eastern nurseries, while our Oregon-grown trees came through uninjured; and Mr. Daly’s manager placed with the Oregon Nursery Co. an order for fifteen thousand additional trees to replant where Eastern trees had died out from the effects of this freeze, making forty thousand trees in all planted in this orchard from the Oregon Nursery Co., all of which orchards are growing and bearing fruit to-day as shown by the photographer’s testimonials herein:

This is an orchard on the great Bitter Root Stock Ranch at Hamilton, Montana, and is owned by the estate of the late Marcus Daly, the Copper King. Forty thousand of our Oregon- grown budded one year trees on three year roots; that’s the best argument. that Oregon-grown trees are

hardy and will stand more degrees of frost than Eastern grown trees that have Black Heart the first year in the nursery.

viii Oregon Nursery Company.

Here is one of Daly’s great commercial orchards, planted with our one year budded trees on three-year roots. Notice how evenly they are headed—each tree the same height and size of each other. This is the kind of an orchard you wish to have one year after you have planted the trees. Buy our Oregon-grown one-year budded trees on three-year roots and we will guarantee you just such an orchard, providing you will follow our instructions as to planting, cultivating, pruning, etc.

Here is another great commercial orchard planted with our one-year budded trees on three year roots. Notice how evenly they are headed, each tree the same height and size. This is the kind of an orchard you wish to have four years after you have planted the trees. Buy our Oregon grown one-year budded trees on three-year roots and we will guarantee you just such an orchard, providing you will follow our instructions as to planting, cultivating, pruning, etc.

OUR SOIL.

Soil containing chemical properties necessary to produce not only a well-matured and ripened wood growth, but one that will also produce plenty of fibrous roots, is essential to the production of strictly first-class, high grade nursery stock.

It is a peculiar fact that while nearly the whole of North America is adapted to successful orcharding with some one or other of the different classess and varieties of decidous fruits, there are but few places either in the United States or Canada where the soil contains all the necessary properties, together with a climate where all the conditions are ideal for successful growing of nursery stock, and for this reason it is necessary that a great commercial nursery should be estab-

lished in a location where these requirements of both soil and climate are to be found regardless of its geographical location in its relation to the rest of the country; for with our present railway sytsem and quick means of transportation, goods can be transported across the continent from the Pacific Ocean to New York City and delivered to customers in less time than it might take to trans- port them from one point within a state, to another.

In the soil of Salem Prairies and the climate of the Willamette Valley has been found just the proper combination, and here high grade nursery stock is grown to that point of excellence not found elsewhere in North America. This soil is naturally drained, deep, marly, black, clayey loam in which great quantities of moisture is stored up during the rainy season and which is retained through the long dry summers with thorough cultivation, furnishing the young roots a constant and sufficient supply of moisture through the growing season, giving our trees that magnificent system of roots that has made our Company famous. From the Pacific in the west to the Atlantic in the east; from British Columbia and the Canadian Northwest Territories in the north to California and and old Mexico in the south the cry has gone out, give us more of the Oregon Nursery Company’s one-year old budded trees on three-year old roots, because they will live and grow when trans-.

And because our customers can form the heads of any desired height from the ground to suit convenience and taste and have each and every tree planted in the orchard headed at exactly the same height from the ground. Note the difference between our orchards and some purchased from Eastern nurseries where the practice is to grow trees on piece root system and send out headed trees with three year old tops and no larger stems than our one-year buds.

Our treeg, when sent out, have an abundance of fibrous roots and young thrifty stems with no unnecessary branches to be carried through the first season to rob the trees of vitality, that should go to nourish the tree and make new wood growth. Another great advantage is that each purchaser can form the head of his tree at the height he desires, and at the same time have each tree in his orchard headed at exactly the same height from the ground, which is a great advantage over orchards purchased from Eastern nurseries where two and three year old trees are sent out branched at different heights from the ground that can never be made uniform. Compare our orchards with one of them.

TINE OF DELIVERY.

In high altitudes and the colder sections of the country east of the Cascade mountains we have discontinued the plan of delivering nursery stock in the fall, having satisfied ourselves that trees will transplant and grow better if set out in the spring, our climate and shipping facilities being such that we can send trees out from Salem at just the proper time from January to May so that they will reach destination at the earliest possible date for setting out in the section in which they are to be planted, thus insuring a successful and uniform orchard. We positively refuse to ship to points east of the Cascades and Rocky mountains in the fall, except at the purchaser’s risk. For the country lying along the Pacific Coast where the winters are mild, we ship regularly from the middle of October until the first of April.

PLANT YOUNG TREES.

Plant young trees, one-year-old, grown on three-year roots, with no superfluous top branches to be sustained when transplanted into the orchard. Our trees when delivered to customers are one-year-old budded and have three-year-old whole roots, as shown in Fig. 1, page 10, and must not be con-° founded with trees grafted in the cellar by piece root methods as shown in Fig. 2, page 16, Our one-year budded tree is the style and age of trees that are now planted by all the large commercial orchardists of the Pacific Coast, and if it is the best tree for the large commercial planter, it certainly One year after planting in the One year after planting in the must be the best foreveryone.

No. 1 roots. These trees when shipped from our nurseries are graded to a height of 4 to 6 ie OL uniform caliper, and are first-class in every respect, superior to Eastern three-year olds, and on account of their health and vigor will transplant with much less loss, and will bear more fruit in five years from the time of planting than three-year old trees grown under the old system, as the photographs of orchards herein shown will prove. ‘True, in order to get these results, the pur- chaser of our one-year old trees on three-year old roots must follow our instructions as to planting, pruning and caring for their orchards. The pruning of our trees is much easier done at the time of planting, than when grown by the old piece root grafting system, for there is only one stem (the main leader) to prune off, and later to rub off the trunk of the tree all buds, except those required to form the head of the tree. In support of our plea for our one-year old trees on three-year roots, we submit the following from the report of the Oregon State Board of Horticulture, 1894, page 123:

‘‘An important factor in the future welfare of the orchard is the selection of trees from the nursery. Care should be taken that the trees are straight, healthy and one year old, (that i is one year from the bud or graft), and supplied with a good system of fibrous roots. - The reason for

xii Oregon Nursery Company.

preferring year old trees to older ones is, that while the older ones have taller tops and larger bodies, they haye about the same amount of fibrous roots to supply them with nutriment when taken from the nursery. Many of the roots are injured by the cultivators, and many of the little fibres are destroyed when the tree is removed from the nursery row. If a part of the root system is destroyed in removing the tree, a portion of the top must be removed or the tree’ will have more wood than it can support; so there is nothing gained by growing a big top.

The sap from the root goes into the trunk and branches. The continued growth of trunk and branches requires all the nutriment that the tree can produce, so that each year that the tree remains in the nursery row the less chance have the roots to spread and grow, and when the tree is planted it has no advantage over the younger tree in making a quick and vigorous growth. In fact, it often requires nearly a season to start, owing to the inability of the roots to supply the necessary nourishment from the soil. In cutting the tree down to the height required for forming the crown, much of the growth is lost. The year-old tree, when cut to the proper height, makes a rapid and vigorous growth of trunk and branches without detriment to the roots, for upon careful examination of the latter it will be found they have put out fibrous roots and are growing in pro- portion to the top. Another reason for selecting one-year-old trees is, that a larger tree receives a greater shock when transplanted, from which it is longer in recovering. It is the little fibres that immediately begin drawing from the soil the tree’s nourishment, which is then transmitted to the larger roots and through them to the body of the tree. Roots covered with a hard bark draw but little moisture from the soil. In fact, it takes an entire season to make any progress at all, and in many instances the tree languishes throughout the spring and summer, finally dying in the fall. Careful attention to these points will do much towards insuring a good growth ”’

This is an orchard on the great Bitter Root Stock Ranch at Hamilton, Mont., and is owned by the estate of the late Marcus Daly, the copper king. 40,000 of our Oregon grown budded one-year trees on three-year roots were planted by Mr. Daly in his great orchards, and the orchard shown here passed through the great freeze of 1898, when the thermometer went down to 40° at Hamilton, Mont. You see the orchard. That’s the best argument that Oregon grown trees are hardy and will stand more degrees of frost than eastern grown trees that have Black Heart the first year in the nursery before they are transplanted into the orchard,

The season following the big freeze of ’98, Mr. Daly gave the Oregon Nursery Co. an order for 15,000 trees to replace eastern grown trees that were killed, while not a branch was injured on the Oregon one-year budded trees on three year roots. Don’t be deceived. Buy no other.

OUR SYSTEM OF GROWING TREES, BUDDED ON WHOLE-ROOT SEEDLINGS AND HOW TO /IAKE THES.

In January and February we plant out in rows 4 feet apart and 8 to toinches in the rows No, I seedlings. Fig. 3, on page 16, shows this seedling before it is planted out in nursery rows.

These are grown under our usual method of cultivation until July and August when budding is done by practical and skilled workmen. 2

We show a budding scene on our ground.

A BUDDING SCENE IN OUR NURSERY.

Do not confound our method with piece-root grafted trees made in the following manner:

Piece-root grafts are made in the cellars during the winter time by taking a straight seedling and pruning off all the fibrous roots, then cutting the root into several pieces of about three inches each,on which ascion of the same length is grafted. Fig. 2, page 16,shows piece-root graft made in this manner. Four, and even five piece-root grafts are sometimes made from one seedling. It is very easy to understand that trees grown in this manner can never have the same root system as a tree grown on our whole-root seedlings. The roots on our trees have three full years growth when sent out, as shown in Fig. 1, page Io.

We ask our patrons to consider well the evidence herein in favor of our one-year-old budded trees and we feel sure thatTafter once having planted them you will have no other. This is the evidence of all large commercial planters.

And still further in support of our contention that a one-year-old tree is the best to plant, when grown by our system of budding, on three-year-old roots, and under the proper climatic conditions, we ask, where is the intelligent up-to-date fruit grower that would plant a peach tree older than one year from bud (peaches are always budded, and if one-year-old peach trees are the best, why not all other classes of fruit trees?

HOME ORCHARDS.

Many have a mistaken idea that in order to successfully grow an orchard it is necessary to have a large amount of land and that it is useless to grow fruit trees in a garden, or town lot. We show herein cuts of two garden orchards and these will speak louder than words in refuting any such error, Nearly all the fruit needed for family use can be grown on a town lot or in the garden. Why pay fancy prices for fruit, when you can raise as’ good, or better, yourself

SPRAYING.

It is now a well-known fact that spraying fruit trees with ‘‘ Bordeaux

Mixture’’ has a beneficial effect upon the growth

of the tree, aside from its efficiency as a_ fungicide and insecticide. That this fungicide exerts .an in- fluence on the functions of certain plants, wholly independent of any action resulting from the pre- vention of fungous or other parasites, has been demonstrated beyond a doubt.

Fully realizing that those who will succeed in the nursery business must grow their trees by the most approved methods we have begun spraying

HINTS ON TRANSPLANTING, ETC.

Preparation of the Soil.— Prepare a rich, deep bed ot mellow soil, and have the land _ sufficiently drained to relieve the roots from standing water. To insure a fine growth, land should be in as good condition as is required for a crop of wheat, corn or potatoes.

Preparation of Trees Be- fore Planting, — We use great care in digging and packing, but the loss of some small. roots and fibres is unavoidable. If stock is properly prepared before planting, no per- manent injury will result from this, but: in cases of branched, or trees older

than one year, the preservation of the natural balance, between tops and roots, renders a vigorous cutting of the former absolutely necessary in most cases. Therefore, prune off broken or bruised _ends of roots, if any, (a smooth cut root granulates, or makes ready to extend, sooner than one broken off). Cut back the tops to the extent of about one-half the previous year’s growth, taking care at all times to prune in such a manner as will tend to develop a well formed head, sufficiently open to admit air and light freely. One-year-old trees, where there is but one straight stock, should be cut down to the height desired for forming the head, being careful that all are cut back to exactly the same height.

Evergreens and other ornamental trees, the beauty of which depends on preserving the natural form, should be pruned very little. Hence, great pains should be taken in planting and caring for these. If not ready to plant when the stock arrives, ‘‘ heel in,’’ by placing the roots in a trench and covering them with mellow earth, well packed, so that they cannot be damaged by heat or frost.

Planting. — Make the holes large enough to admit the roots without any cramping or bending, and deep enough to bring the tree to its natural depth. The fine surface soil should be used in covering the roots, and this should be carefully worked among them. If the ground is dry it is well to pour in some water when the hole is partially filled. See that the the ground is firmly and solidly packed over all parts of the roots, so that there will be no opportunity for dry air or frost to enter and destroy roots deprived of the full bene- fit of their natural protection. Omission to pack the earth solidly is a more frequent cause of failure in planting nursery stock than any other. Fill the holes full enough to be even with the surrounding surface after the fresh earth settles. Never use manure in contact with roots. Large standard trees should be staked and tied so that the wind will not loosen the roots.

Mulching.—When trees or bushes are planted, they should be mulched or covered with a layer of coarse manure or litter from three tosix inches deep for a space of say two feet more in diameter than the extent of the roots.. This keeps the earth moist and of even temperature.

After Culture.—Grass should not be allowed to grow about young trees or plants. The ground should be cultivated for a space of at least one foot outside the roots. If the ground is poor it should be enriched with surface applications of manure. Pruning should be varied according to the condition of the tree, and the purpose of the planter. It should be done regularly every spring, before the buds swell any. In this way the removal of large branches will be avoided, |

Season of Ripening.—As our Catalogue is intended to cover every section of the United States, as well as British Columbia, Northwest Territories and other parts of Canada, it is impossible to give exact time of ripening of any variety of fruit, as what would be true in Southern California or Arizona, would not apply in Montana or the Northwest Territories. We give, therefore, as nearly the average season as possible and customers should remember that as a rule fruit keeps much longer in the Northern sections than in the Southern, which often changes a winter variety of the north into an autumn variety farther south.

Prices.—Covering so large a field we do not print prices in the Catalogue, but send when re- quested, price lists, which include freight to nearest railroad station, as we ship nearly all retail orders freight prepaid,and guarantee delivery in first-class condition at nearest delivery point, railroad station or steamboat dock. This is a very important consideration for planters as we ship in carload lots to some central point and thereby save freight charges and insure much prompter delivery than by local freight to long distances, which enables us to deliver trees in better con- dition. We exercise the greatest care to keep our varieties TRUE to name, and hold ourselves in readiness at all times to replace, on proper proof, all stock that may prove otherwise but it is mutually agreed between the purchaser and ourselves that we shall not at any time be liable for any amount greater than the original price of the goods. We cannot accept orders on any other

terms.

RULE—Square Method—Multiply the distance in feet between the rows by the distance the plants are apart in the rows, and the product will be the number of square feet for each plant or hill— which, divided into the number of feet in an acre (43,560)—will give the number of plants or trees © to the acre.

RULE—Equilateral Triangle Method —Divide the number required to the acre ‘‘ square method,”’ by the decimal .866, or calculate the number by the square method and add15 per cent. The result will be the number of plants required to the acre by this method.

We include in this Catalogue only such articles as we have grown on our own grounds, and have aimed to confine ourselves to cultivating only such varieties in both departments as, with proper care, will give entire satisfaction to our customers.

Those only who can show a certificate of recent date, with our signature and the Seal of the Company attached, are authorized to solicit orders for us. We wish to call special attention to. this notice, as we know it has heretofore been the practice of unprincipled persons to procure the . catalogues of prominent nurseries, and take orders in their names, which they will fill with poor stock bought elsewhere. If our patrons will notify us of any person whom they have reason to believe is not a regularly appointed agent, we shall consider it a favor.

Another Scene in our nursery showing our one-year-old trees on three-year-old roots. If you want a successful orchard, plant this kind of trees.

We have used as cuts principally photos taken in the orchards of our trees in the famous Bitter Root Valley, of Montana. Our reason for doing this, is because this is the coldest section of the United States in which large commercial orchards are planted. They show the extreme hardiness of our one-year-old tops on three-year-old roots, and we are satisfied that a careful reading of our Catalogue and examination of these photos will convince all of the superiority of our trees over two, three or four-year-old trees grown by piece-root system.

As this catalogue will be read by many who are not acquainted with the Oregon Nursery Com- pany, we herewith append a few references from business men in Salem. For further references write to any bank or business man in Salem, Oregon.

BLACKFOOT ORCHARD.

Another orchard of our famous one-year-old budded trees on three-year-old roots, planted at Blackfoot, Idaho, where the thermometer often registers 30 to 40 degrees below zero. What better proof do you want of the extreme hardiness of our trees.

APPLES—Pyrus Malus.

The first fruit in importance is the apple. It will thrive on nearly any well-drained soil. Its period of ripening, unlike that of other fruits, extends nearly or quite through the year. By making judicious selections of summer, autumn and winter sorts, a constant succession can be easily obtained of this indispensable fruit for family use.

There is no farm crop which, on the average, will produce one-fourth as much income per acre as will a good apple orchard. The average price paid for the fruit is steadily on the increase and the immense demand for home consumption, foreign shipping, canning and evaporating,

assures us that they will continue to increase. We especially recommend planting late-keeping winter varieties.

If apples are planted at the rate of fifty trees per acre, 30 ft. apart each way, rows of peach trees can be planted between the apples, which, growing more quickly than the apple trees, soon protect them from winds, and thus prove-a great benefit tothem. After eight or ten years of productiveness, as the space is needed for the apples, the peach trees may be removed, leaving

the orchard better for the protection, and at the same time having yielded the planter a large return for his outlay and labor.

WINTERSTEIN.

One of Luther Burbank’s new creations; a seedling of Gravenstein with a most delicious flavor. keeps with the Baldwin and R. I. Greening; flesh yellowish; flavor exceedingly tender; spicy, rich, sub acid; color bright, red in stripes; tree a strong, vigorous grower and remarkable bearer; fruits

every year; the best.

‘It has often been said that if the Gravenstein lasted through the season no other apple need

be raised. Other apples do not sell readily during the Gravenstein season. Its seedling, however, very rarely approach in any manner its combination of good qualities, and the one which I now offer is not in some respects as good, but is much better in others. It is therefore introduced after severe tests, fully believing that it will prove a great acquisition in many places, not all, for no fruit, so far. has ever been known which would.”’

‘One of its most valuable points is that it ripens, with Baldwin and Rhode Island Greening, several weeks after Gravenstein ; but in addition to this it is a much more prolific bearer, never failing to produce heavy crops and at the same time makes a growth fully as strong as Gravenstein.”’

Luther Burbank further says: ‘‘ This is the first apple of my own origination which has ever been sent out, though apples, plums, berries and various seeds and flowers have sometimes been offered under my name without consulting the party most likely to be interested in the matter.’’

Luther Burbank, writing to the Rural New Yorker, says: ‘‘ By this mail I send you a medium sample of my new Gravenstein seedling, six weeks later than its parent, ripening exactly with the Baldwin and Rhode Island Greening. The tree is a grand grower and as productive as an apple can possibly be. I think the quality, tenderness, and texture remarkable.”’

» “We are wondering,’’ writes the editor of the Rural New Yorker, ‘‘ whether the horticultural and pomological work that Luther Burbank, of Santa Rosa, California, has done, is doing and may do, will ever be adequately appreciated. One thing is certain, viz: that the work he has already done is by no means appreciated. His latest success, and it seems to the writer, one of his most valuable successes, is an apple—a seedling of Gravenstein, a specimen of which he sent to us, and which we received October 27th,”’

CRAB APPLES.—Pyrus Prunifolia.

Within the past few years much attention has been given to improving this class of fruit, be- cause of their adaptability to cold sections where only a few varieties of apples can be successfully

grown.

These efforts have been attended with marked success.

Crab apples succeed equally

well in all sections, and are valuable for cider, preserving, jelly, ornament, and some of the improved sorts are excellent for eating. Sent to the Eastern markets, they command a very high

price. annual bearers, and usually fruit second season.

PEARS—Pyrus Communis or P. Sinensis.

A Pear Orchard of Oregon Nursery Co.’s one-year budded trees on three-year-old roots that went through the hard freeze of February 1899 at Blackfoot, Idaho, showing extreme hardi- ness of our trees.

The cultivation of this noble fruit is rapidly extending as its value is appreciated, and the demand for this fruit, both green and dried, is increasing every year, making it one of the most profitable fruits to plant. The range of varieties is such that, like apples, they can be had in good eating condition from August until early spring.

The melting, juicy texture, the refined flavor, and the delicate aroma of the pear, give it rank above all other fruits, excepting the grape. The pear, like most things highly desirable and valu- able, cannot be had without attention and labor. The relative prices of the apple and pear being about as one to three, purchasers of the latter can well afford to give the trees the high cultivation necessary to secure the best results.

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, then place in a cool, dry cellar.

Thin the Fruit—We cannot urge too strongly the following suggestion: When the 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.

SUSIMER Clapp’s Favorite—A large, new, fine pear, re-

sembling the Bartlett, but without its musky

Worden-Seckel—A seedling of the Seckel which, for many years, has been conceded to be the standard of excellence. Equal in quality to its famous parent, which it much resembles in flavor; is equally as luscious, more juicy, and with an aroma equally as rich and inviting, while in size, color, form and appearance, it is decidedly superior. In color, when well ripened, it closely resembles Clapp’s Favorite, with a skin that is usually as smooth and waxy as if it had been varnished. Tree a more upright and rapid grower than Seckel; hardy and enormous bearer; fruit keeps well, retaining its quality to the last.

WINTER.

Beurre Easter — Large; pale yellow, sprinkled with round dots, often dull, red cheek; quality good. One of the best winter pears. Keeps all winter.

Kennedy—Originated by General John Bidwell, on Rancho Chico, Butte County, California. Superior to Bartlett or Winter Nellis. Would be classed as 2 winter variety in Northern sections; hardy, vigorous growing tree; bears well. Undoubtedly the most valuable new pear originated in California,

Lincoln Coreless—Large; green until thoroughly .

ripe, when it becomes a beautiful yellowish- green; flesh rich yellow, juicy, melting, and of a very delicate aromatic flavor; no seeds or core. February and March.

Mount Vernon—Medium to large; of rich russet color; flesh juicy. rich, melting, with a spicy flavor. New.- November to January.

Pound Pear—A monstrous, very showy fruit, often weighing three pounds; yellow, red cheek ‘Tree very vigorous and productive.

P. Barry—This pear was originated by the late B. S. Fox, of San Jose, and is acknowledged by our best judges to possess qualities un- equaled by any of our long-keeping pears. It is large, deep yellow, nearly covered with a rich golden russet; flesh whitish, firm, juicy, melting, sweet, slightly vinous and rich; an early and prolific bearer. December and January.

Pratt’s Seedling—Originated. in Salem, Oregon, with Captain 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 fine grower, witha more spreading top than the Bartlett. Has been shown at our Fruit Convention and is endorsed by all our fruit growers; a fine acquisition to our list of winter varieties.

Vicar of Winkfield—(Le Cure)—Large; long; not first quality, but desirable for its productive- ness. Best on quince. November to January.

Winter Bartlett — This fine pear originated at Eugene, Oregon. The tree stands in a door- yard in that city, bearing fine fruit, and has, with possibly two or three exceptions, borne a good crop for over 20 years. Tree very vigorous, a foot in diameter and 4o 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; per- fectly smooth, flesh tender, juicy and melt- ing; flavor similar to the Winter Nellis, but season a little later, and as good as can be desired. Jz every way a grand pear.

Winter Nellis—Medium in size, yellowish-green and russet; fine grained, melting, rich and delicious; one of the best winter pears. Tree straggly, slender grower, but very productive. December.

LAMBERT CHERRY.

CHERRIES—Hearts and Bigarreaus—Cerasus avium—Dukes and Morellos—cerasus vulgaris.

There are few more desirable trees than the Cherry, and they are being planted in larger numbers every year, as they can be grown for the market with great profit. It may be planted along the street or avenue as an ornamental, especially the Heart and Biggareau varieties, which are strong, vigorous growers, with large, glossy leaves and open, spreading heads, making a fine shade, and at the same time producing an abundance of the most delicious fruit. Cherries thrive in almost any dry or well-drained soil. The fruit is equally delicious whether eaten from the tree or preserved, and it will always find a ready market at profitable prices for shipping, canning, etc.

The Hearts and] Bigarreaus will successfully resist cold weather so as to be grown in most sections, excepting the extreme North, while the Dukes and Morellos, or acid sorts, are perfectly

hardy ‘and are starred (*) in this Catalogue.

ONE-YEAR-OLD SWEET CHERRY TREES ON THREE-YEAR-OLD ROOTS.

For a tree properly trimmed and cut for planting, see Page 10, Introduction.

Allen—Has been fruiting for several years. Tree °

a healthy grower, immensely productive. Fruit of excellent quality; large size, nearly heart-shape, shiny and smooth; color when ripe, nearly black, very meaty and firm; so far free from all rot and disease; ripens late. Good enough for any home use and we be- lieve will prove one of the most profitable market varieties in all sections where the sweet cherries succeed.

*Baldwin Cherry —This cherry is a seedling of the English Morello, and it was originally planted for an Early Richmond, which had been budded on a seedling of the English Morello. The budded part was accidentally broken off and a sprout came from the root, which was so vigorous that it was allowed to grow. The tree is an upright grower, more inclined to be round than otherwise. A very rank, vigorous grower; leaves rather broad; bloom pure white, which turns to pink color, similar to the Hydrangea; fruit very large, almost perfectly round, very dark, yet almost trans- parent; flavor slightly sub-acid, yet the sweetest and richest of the Morello type; stems rather large, of medium length, more

inclined to grow in pairs than in clusters. It’

is remarkable for earliness, vigor, hardiness,

quality and productiveness. It is a tree to command attention, and is so distinct as to attract comments from many upon seeing it, without knowing its superior merit.

Bing—This grand new Black Cherry was origin- ated by Seth Luelling, of Milwaukee, Oregon. size very large; blackish-purplish. Flesh very solid, flavor of the highest quality. Tree thrifty, upright grower, very hardy and pro- ductive. A fine shipping and market variety.

Black Republican—(Luelling)—A native of Ore- gon. Fruit very large, shining black; flesh very solid and firm; fine; a good keeper and will bear transportation well. Tree a moderate grower and rather tender; an early and pro- fuse bearer,

Black Tartarian—Very large; bright purplish- black; half tender, juicy, very rich, excellent flavor. Tree a vigorous grower and product- ive. June.

Centennial—A new cherry; a seedling of Napo- leon Bigarreau, raised by Mr. Henry Chap- man, in Napa Valley, Cal. Itis larger than its parent, more oblate in form, and beauti-: fully marbled and splashed with crimson on a pale yellow ground. Its sweetness is very marked. Its keeping qualities, after being taken from the tree, will undoubtedly render it the best cherry for shipment, specimens having been carried to the Eastern States and Europe without apparent injury.

Chapman—This grand new cherry originated in Napa Valley, California, where it ripens about

_ April roth, 1s the earliest of all shipping varie- ties, bears early and immense crops of fine luscious fruit which grows somewhat more in clusters than Black Tartarian; size, very Jarge; form, roundish; stem, long and slender; sur- face, smooth; color, purplish black; flesh, half tender; stone, small; flavor of the highest quality. On account of its great beauty, quality and earliness it is a very profitable market variety. Said to be a seedling of the Black Tartarian.

*Dyehouse—Partakes of both the Duke and Morello in wood and fruit, a very early and sure bearer; ripens a week before Early Rich- mond, of better quality and quite as pro- ductive.

Deacon—This new cherry is supposed to have originated at Sacramento, Cal. Color black; flesh firmer than Luelling (Black Republican), and much larger. Ripens with Black Tar- tarian; flavor of the highest quality. It has been shipped from Sacramento to New York, arriving in prime condition.

*Early Richmond—(Kentish, Virginian May)— Medium size; dark red; melting juicy, sprightly acid flavor. This is one of the most valuable and popular of the acid cherries, and is unsurpassed for cooking purposes. Treea slender grower, with a roundish spreading head, and is exceedingly productive. The most hardy of all varieties, uninjured by the coldest winters, when almost every other variety has been killed. Ripens through June.

*English Morello—Medium to large; blackish-red; rich, acid, juicy and good; very productive. August.

Elton—Large and fine flavor; pale yellow, light red next the sun; vigorous grower. Last of June.

Governor Wood—Large, rich; light yellow with red cheek; juicy and sweet; one of the very best. Last of June.

Hoskin—Originated by C. E. Hoskin, Newberg, Oregon. Very large; color black, flavor similar to Black Tartarian. A very promising variety.

Knight’s Early Black—Large, black, tender, juicy, rich and excellent; good grower and produc- tive. Middle to last of June.

Kentish—(See Early Richmond).

Lambert—In size the largest known; smooth, glossy skin; color dark purplish-red, with numerous minute, indented, russet dots; flesh dark purplish- -red, with whitish veins, firm meaty texture, small oval stone, semi-cling: flavor sweet, or very mild sub-acid, rich, and of highest quality; form roundish, heart shaped, long slender stem. The finest shipping variety. Originated near Portland, Oregon, about 1887, and named after the originator. Tree thrifty, hardy and vigorous grower, and forms a beautiful head. Donated by Mr. Lam- bert to Oregon State Horticultural Society and the sole right to propagate it purchased from them by the Oregon Nursery Company. All trees will have the Lambert Cherry Label, bearing the name of the Society on one side and name of the cherry on the other, attached as a guaranty of genuineness.

Prunus.

The plum has not, in recent years, been planted as extensively as it deserves, and the lack of planting has doubtless been partly due to difficulty in marketing, but with the demand for good fruit in the Eastern markets almost unlimited, and the excellent shipping qualities of the Maynard and

others;

the establishment of canneries in most important fruit sections;

they are again being

planted i in large quantities as it is known that a little care and attention at the proper time will

insure a crop.

The plum tree, like the pear and other finer fruits, attains its greatest perfection in our heavy

soil, being entirely free from disease.

Plums are hardy and grow vigorously in nearly all sections,

succeeding best on heavy soils in which there is a mixture of clay.

ONE-YEAR-OLD PRUNE TREES.

‘These show the remarkable growth of one-year buds on three-year-old roots.

Fruit Dept.—Plums. 17

Most of the cultivated varieties of piums are European, or descendants of European varieties. But in recent years certain extraordinarily good varieties of native plums have been widely dis-seminated, and recently we have received some extremely valuable varieties from Japan, Crosses from all these will from time to time bring out new and much improved varieties, especially securing the best quality of the European plums, united with the hardiness, desirable season, or good shipping qualities of the others.

The finer kinds of plums are beautiful dessert fruits, of rich and luscious flavor. For cooking and’ canning they are unsur- passed. For best flavor they should be allowed to remain on the tree until fully ripe; but for shipping to market, they must be gathered a very few days earlier, when they may be shipped long distances, arriving in good condition, Overbearing should not be allowed.

Some varieties, especially of the native plums, are extremely hardy and will stand the climate of the extreme Northwest.

JAPANESE, or ORIENTAL PLUMS.

These pums have awakened more interest during the past few years than any other recent type of fruit. This race is as distinct from our native varieties as the Yellow Newtown is from the Baldwin apple. Many of these varieties are succeeding well in the Northern and Western states, in many places where the European varieties cannot be depended upon; some are hardy as far north as where the Wild Goose succeeds, and for the Southern States they open a new field in plum growing. They unite size, beauty and productiveness, and come into bearing at the age of two to four years. Flesh firm and meaty, will keep for a long time in excellent condition. Their early blossoming habit renders them unsafe in some sections and they will never entirely take the place of our older varieties, but possess many valuable characteristics. Should be well tested in all sections. Like most Japanese types of trees the names of the imported varieties are much confused, but we follow the names adopted by the leading nurserymen of this country.

These plums, together with the hybrids and crosses pro- duced by Luther Burbank (which are starred (*) in this cata- logue) are among the most valuable additions in the way of new fruits that have been introduced in the past ten or fifteen years. We would call your special attention to the Maynard, the greatest Plum that has ever been introduced.

‘*Altogether the Japanese Plums constitute the most important type of fruit introduced into North America during the last quarter of a century, and they should receive careful tests in all

parts of the country.”

Prof. Bailey, Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y.

plums. The tree is a very rapid grower, healthy in limb and foliage, comes into bear- ing remarkably young, and yields abundantly. The fruit is full medium size, color a rich, bright-cherry-red, with a distinct bloom, and highly perfumed; flesh light yellow, very juicy and tender, and of excellent quality. Vigor- ous. Hardy.—Mr. Geo. W. Thissell, of Win- ters, Cal., says of this fruit: ‘‘I have fruited it three years; have found it very prolific, fruit large to very large; exceedingly sweet; pit very small; ripens at Winters June roth, I consider this one of my best shipping plums.”’

Fruit large to very large; skin glossy coral red; flesh yellow, moderately firm and deli- cious; said to be one of the most highly flavored plums.

Apple, (J*)—Another of Burbank’s novelties;

named from its close resemblage, form, color and rare keeping qualities; flesh firm, pale red with marblings and streaks of pink. A. valuable acquisition to the list of Japanese plums; ripens after Burbank.

Apricot Plum—(See Prunus Simoni).

18 Oregon Nursery Company. E

Bartlett, (J*) — One of the best of Burbank’s recent introductions. Said to be wonderfully productive; a very ornamental tree with glossy green leaves, resembling very closely the famous Bartlett in habit of growth, flavor and fragrance, Fruit oval, yellow, turning to deep crimson when fully ripe; flesh light salmon colored, firm and juicy; ripens before Burbank.

Blood Plum—(See Satsuma).

Bradshaw, (D) Fruit very large,dark, violet-red; flesh yellowish-green, juicy and pleasant. Tree vigorous, erect and productive. Middle of Aug.

Burbank, (J)—Tree a very vigorous grower, early and very heavy bearer; fruit very large; yellowish-ground, with red cheek in the sun; flesh yellow, firm and very sweet when fully ripe; extremely small pit, which clings. Middle of June

Chalco, (J*)—A cross between Simoni and Bur- bank; resembles the former variety very closely, but said by the originator, Luther Burbank, to be by far superior to it, A tremendous grower and very prolific. A superior shipping plum, as it ripens and keeps well when picked green. Must eventually supplant the Simoni, thriving and bearing where that variety is a failure.

Charles Downing, (A )—Vigorous healthy tree; fruit large, round, red, handsome and excellent. One of the best of the Wild Goose type.

Climax, (J*)—This is well named the ‘“‘ King of Plums,’’ its extreme earliness, immense size, high color, delicious flavor and fragrance places it in the lead among early shipping plums. Fruit heart shaped, color deep, dark red; flesh yellow. Tree vigorous and remark- ably productive.

Clyman, (D)—A beautiful plum originated in the Napa Valley, Cal.; it is a good bearer; fruit medium to large; mottled reddisd purple with beautiful blue; freestone; quality of flesh superior; valuable on account of its earliness and its excellent shipping qualities.

Coe’s Golden Drop, (D)— Large and handsome; light yellow; firm, rich, sweet; one of the best of late plums. Last of September.

Columbia, (D)—Fruit of the largest size; six or seven inches in circumference, nearly globu- lar. Skin brownish purple; dotted with numerous fawn-colored specks. Flesh orange, not very juicy, but when at full maturity very rich, sugary and excellent. Last of August.

Combination, (J*)—New Plum, early, regular and abundant bearer of large, nearly globular fruit of uniform size. Flesh straw color, extremely sweet, with a very pronounced pine apple flavor. Stone small and nearly free when fully ripe. Luther Burbank, the originator, says: ‘‘ An extremely handsome, large, early, light crimson plum of the very best quality, ripening at Santa Rosa July 12th, before most of the earliest plums and about as early as the Climax. The trees, both old and young, are about the best and most symmetrical growers among the plums, making an early, rapid growth, ripening the wood perfectly hard to the tips early in the season, indicating unusual hardiness. The bark, leaves and fruit are all unique. Bark, dark russet bronze. The unusually large, broad, glossy coriaceous leaves are bronze crimson in the spring and

fall. ‘‘ Combination’’ trees resemble no other trees in cultivation and are certain to please everyone.

Damson, (D) — Fruit small, oval; skin purple, covered with blue bloom; flesh melting and juicy, rather tart; separates partly from the stone. September.

De Soto, (A)—Medium size; resembles Miner in form and color, but is two weeks earlier; fine for eating or canning; a moderate grower; bears young and profusely; hardy and very desirable.

First, (J* )—-New Plum, fruit of good medium size, pale amber, faint blush on sunny side, half transparent. Flesh, same color, moderately firm, sweet, juicy and good, especially so when just at the right stage of ripeness. Tree of medium growth never fails to produce all itcan hold. Luther Burbank, the originator, says, ‘‘In introducing this new plum, I confi- dently make the statement that it is the earliest of all plums; ripening at Santa Rosa June 15th, fully three weeks earlier than the Red June; and also thatit is the largest, hand- somest and most productive of all very early plums. It should prove very hardy, and for home use and near markets will be the most useful of all very early plums. It is too soft and ripens too suddenly for shipping to distant markets, but its extreme earliness, large size and good quality make a combination of very unusual value.”’

Forest Rose, (A)—A native of Pike County, Mo., fruit round, larger than Wild Goose; skin rather thick and of a beautiful dark red color, covered witha delicate bloom; stone small; excellent quality.

Green Gage, (D)-Small; considered the standard of excellence; slow grower. Middle of Aug.

Season last of August and first of September.

Hale, (J*)—Fruit medium to large,yellow mottled and speckled red; flesh soft and juicy, yellow, cling, of good quality. Tree a moderatel spreading vigorous grower. Follows Burban in ripening. Last of August.

Hart, (A )-Tree originated in Sioux county, Iowa, and was widely distributed by the horticultural department of the Iowa Agricultural College. It belongs to the DeSoto type, but will stand drought much better. From its close resemb- lance to the DeSoto, it is sometimes called Hart’s DeSoto.

Jefferson, (D)—Large, yellow, reddened in the sun; juicy, rich and delicious; one of the best. Last of August.

Kelsey, (J)—Japanese; very large; rich, reddish- purple on yellow ground; tree a prolific and early bearer; very largely planted for shipping East; the largest of all plums.

The Grand Plum—Maynard. 19

3} The Grand Plum—Maynard, (J.*) |€

We introduce the Maynard with every confidence that it will prove the peer of any plum that has heretofore been propagated, and do so with every assurance that it will prove a great acquisi- tion to the home garden and orchard and will be a most profitable plum for the commercial orchard- ist, combining, as it does, large size, excellent flavor and color, with shipping qualities not found in any other plum, When we consider that samples of the Maynard where shipped through the mails during the warmest months of summer from Santa Rosa, California, across the mountains and plains to Vermont, and were returned to Mr. Burbank at Santa Rosa in perfect condition, it becomes evident that the Maynard combines the great carrying qualities necessary for long distance shipments, which is the essential consideration in a shipping plum, and one which is often lacking in varieties possessing flavor and other good qualities.

The horticultural public. have been for many years looking for a plum that would give them not only the fine quality that would remind their city customers of the fruit eaten in youthful days, but would also admit of being carried to distant markets in perfect condition. Mr. Burbank him- self, the greatest originator of plums in the world, has striven for many years to accomplish this end, and in the many splendid plums he has previously introduced, has often almost reached this point of perfection. a *

In the Maynard he has given to the horticultural world his latest and greatest effort in the plum line and we believe he has reached the point of perfection. The Maynard begins to ripen about July Ist, at Santa Rosa, California, following closely after that other magnificent introduction of Bur- bank—Climax, and just at a season of the year when plums are in best demandin the great markets; but instead of coming and going swiftly as in the regretable habit of plums, the season of ripening for the Maynard extends all through July and far into August.

In size it is very large, often measuring seven and one-half inches or more in circumferences form nearly round, slightly flattened at the ends; of richest crimson-purple, deepening to roya; damask as full ripeness is reached. A more beautiful fruit were hard to imagine. The flesh is firm even when dead ripe, but melting and juicy, with a deliciousness indescribable, Beside this combination of beauties to delight the eye and palate, the ripe fruits have a charming fragrance unusual to plums, Few fruits could please so many of the senses as the new beauty, now added to Mr. Burbank’s list of triumphs. .

In vigor of tree and habit of growth it far surpasses any other plum. In its evolution Mr. Bur bank has preserved to a remarkable degree every desirable trait, carefully suppressing the thorny, slender, sprangling tree-habit of plums, and we have it sturdy, strong, and a very rapid grower, spreading just as large as it ought to and no more. It fruits heavily every year, not overbearing, but yielding a full, vigorous, satisfactory crop. Add to these admirable points, the fact of its heavy, luxuriant foliage and its habit of bearing its burden of fruit on the inside of the tree, where is the greatest strength, and we have little else to ask for in a plum.

When we consider the many thousands of fruits that Mr. Burbank originates and the few that he introduces, we have a better appreciation of the great care he exercises in sending out a new variety. He has made it a rule never to offer to the public any of his specialties until he has thor- oughly tested them himself, from every standpoint, and feels satisfied that they are an improvement over varieties previously introduced and although Mr. Burbank received such flattering comments on the Maynard in July, 1900, as these words from Prof. Maynard, the eminent horticulturist, in whose honor the plum was named, ‘I consider this the best plum, all things considered, that I have seen on your place to-day.” Mr. Burbank went on and fruited it for two more years before offering it for sale, making five years in all that Mr. Burbank has fruited the Maynard in his famous experimental and testing grounds, always watching for some weak point that might develope in this new fruit; It was not until he had thoroughly satisfied himself that the Maynard possessed unusual points of beauty, flavor, and shipping qualities of the fruit, together with a vigorous, hardy and healthy growth of tree, that he consented to introduce it. Ee —

In the Maynard Plum we have a tree that is perfection itself—a strong, vigorous constitution, dense, compact head, with large, apricot-like leaves, thickly distributed over the entire tree, form- ing a protection for the young fruit from winds and rains in the early spring, and a shelter from the intense heat of the sun later in the season. The branches are strong and sturdy, well able to bear up the heavy load of fruit which the Maynard always brings forth.

PRUNES—Prunus.

The plum of history is the Prunus domestica.

It also gives us the prunes which are character-

ized by sweet, firm flesh, and capable of making a commercial dried product. They mz

color, although blue purple ones are best known.

y be of om Any plum which can be successfully cured,

without removing the pit, into a firm, long keeping product, may be used for making prunes, the chief requisite being a large proportion of solids, more especially sugar.

We follow the distinction made between plums and prunes, as is common in the horticultural

literature of the Pacific Coast.

By the term “‘prune,’’ is signified a plum, which dries success-

fully without the removal of the pit and produces a sweet, dried fruit, though in the confusion of

our nomenclature, not even this broad classification is faithfully followed. For example.

as a local traditional name for ‘‘ Pond’s Seedling Plum,’’ which

has no value as a prune, and we have also ‘‘Coe’s Golden Drop Plum,’ which does answer the requirements for a dried prune, and is sometimes given fancy names by packers.

We do not, however, in this Catalogue, attempt to correct the classification, but follow the popular arrangement. (To such proportions has the prune industry grown in the past dozen years,

that it may now be classed as one of the most important productions of the Pacific Coast.

exportations annually to the Eastern markets reaching hundreds of millions pounds of the finest

prunes in the world.

Dosch, (D)-Introduced by Hon. H. E. Dosch, after whom it is named. Originated near Portland, Oregon, about ten years ago. Color purple, very large. Flesh juicy, delicious; sweeter than the Italian, but not so sweet as the Petites. Flavor excellent and for canning has no equal. Dries very heavy. Tree hardy, thrifty grower, ten days to two weeks earlier than the Italian. Received a gold medal at Omaha Exposition in 1898, both in green and driedstates.

‘“SUGAR’’ PRUNE. ‘“ PETITE’? PRUNE.

Luther Burbank says:

__Itis with intense satisfaction that we can at last introduce a new prune which bids fair to add millions to the wealth of the State and Nation, and which will be hailed with delight by growers, dealers and consumers throughout the world.

For many years we have labored to produce a large, early, productive, handsome, easily cured, richly flavored prune, with a high percentage of sugar; the prize appeared several years ago, and we have now tested it in every way sufficient to warrant its introduction and we are upheld in our estimate of its great value by all fruit growers who have seen it.

The tree is very far superior to the French prune tree in every respect, better grower, better bearer, better foliage, better form, requires less careful pruning, will carry and mature a much larger crop of fruit. The fruit is unusually even in size and very large, averaging thirteen to fifteen to the pound fresh; at least three or four times as large as the French prune grown here.

Following is an accurate description taken from the report of B. M. Lelong, Secretary of the California State Board of Horticulture:

Sugar Prune—An extremely early prune, ripens August first; cures superbly rich, with a yellow flesh, tender and rich in sugar juice. Skin very tender, at first of a light purple, tinted with green, changing at maturity to dark purple, covered with a thick white bloom.

Form ovoid; slightly flattened, measuring five by six and a half inches in circumference. Average size fifteen to the pound, which is two or three times larger than the French prune. * Fruit stalk short, severs very easily from the stem as the fruit reaches maturity. Pit medium size, flattened, slightly wrinkled and most often separated from the flesh. The skin is so thin or porous that the fruit begins to shrink on the tree fully as soon as ripe.

Tree an unusually vigorous grower and very productive. One pound green fruit makes 7% ounces when dry. By the usual mode of curing one pound green would probably make one-half pound when cured.

Analysis of the fresh fruit at the ‘State University disclosed the fact that it is nearly one-fourth sugar, the exact amount being 23.92 per cent.; the average of sugar of the French prune being 18.53 per cent. and of all prunes 15.33. A seedling of Petite and bids fair to revolutionize the prune industry of the world. Originated by Luther Burbank, of Santa Rosa.

The above description of the Sugar Prune was taken from Mr. Burbank’s 1889 Catalogue, and the following is taken from his Ig00 Catalogue:

Sugar Prune has proved more than all that has ever been claimed for it. It ripens twenty-eight days before the French prune and though nearly four times as large, it dries in half the time. The trees have never failed to produce a full crop; even when side by side the French prune has year after year been a partial or complete failure.

24 Oregon Nursery Company.

Spring frosts do not affect it.

The trees are better growers and require less careful pruning;

the branches are longer and stronger, the foliage is heavier and owing to more vigorous growth, thrives on much poorer soil and the trees commence bearing two years earlier than the common

prune,

Tennant, (D)—Originated in Whatcom County, Washington, where it has been tested for twenty years, and has never failed to produce a good crop of fruit. Large, dark, purple, with a blue bloom. Flavor of the highest quality; rich, sugary and delicious. Tree hardy and very productive. Bears transportation well. August.

The prunes, when cured, are unequaled in their combination of size, beauty and quality.

Tragedy,(D )—This most valuable of all prunes for early eastern shipments appear to be a cross between the German prune and the Purple Duane; medium size, nearly as large as Duane, skin dark purple; flesh yellowish- green, very rich and sweet, freestone. Ripens in July.

PEACHES—Prunus Persica Vulgaris.

To secure healthy, vigorous and fruitful trees, the ground must be well drained and kept clean and mellow, and it should receive an occasional dressing of wood ashes. It’should be remembered that peaches are all borne on wood of the previous season’s growth, and that this makes it abso- lutely necessary to prune the trees yearly, to remove dead branches and to let in light and air; keep the trees in good shape to produce bearing wood.

Freestone—(f.) Semi-cling—(s. c.) Clings—(c.)

Admiral Dewey—Skin deep orange-yellow, with crimson cheek. Flesh clear yellow, of uniform color and texture to the stone; juicy, melting, vinous; quality very good.

Tree very hardy both in wood and bud, bears young and very productive, equaling the Prolific. Fruit large, deep yellow, with crimson cheek; flesh yellow to the pit; firm, rich and excellent quality; pit small, free; equal to any as a shipper or keeper. Prof. W. W. Hilborn, Director of the Experimental Station at Leam- ington, Ontario, has known it for many years, fruited it for several seasons in experimental orchard, and recommends it as the very best late market variety. Last of September and October. ‘(f.)

Blood Leaf Peach—(See Deciduous Ornamentals. )

Bokhara—A Russian variety, which is claimed to be the hardiest peach grown; in fact, it has withstood a temperature of 28° below zero without injury. It is a beautiful yellow peach,

Chinese Cling — Large, globular; skin white, shaded with light red; flesh white, red at the stone; very juicy, melting and rich. July. (c.)

Crawford’s Early—A magnificent large, yellow peach, of good quality. Tree vigorous and very productive. Its fine size, beauty and productiveness make it one of the most pop- ular sorts; no other variety has been so ex- tensively planted. (f.)

Crawford’s Late Melocoton — (late Crawford)— Fruit of large size; skin yellow, or greenish- yellow, with dull, red cheek; flesh yellow; tree vigorous, moderately productive; one of the finest late sorts. Last of September. (f.)

Crosby—An Iron-Clad Peach—The tree is of low, spreading, willowy habit of growth, similar to . Hill’s Chili, Wager, and others of that class of hardy peaches, however, it is even more dwarf than these, and often the entire product of a tree, two bushels, or even more, can be

The fruit is of medium size, roundish in form,

slightly flattened, with a distinct seam on the blossom end; bright, orange yellow, splashed with streaks of carmine on the sunny side; of beautiful appearance, and not so acid as most yellow peaches of the Crawford class. It ripens between Early and Late Crawford or about with old Mixon; a good family pe, ch at all times, and on account of its beautaful color, will command a ready sale alongsidei of the best standard sorts, in a season of abund- ance; however, when it is considered that its fruit buds are so hardy as to withstand the frosts of winter and spring, that often kill all other good varieties, its special value is apparent; a fine yellow peach to supply the market when there is no others. ({.)

Bewey—(See Admiral Dewey).

Early Charlotte—An improved seedling from Early Crawford, originated at Salem, Oregon, in 1878, by O. Dickenson, where it has attracted much attention among fruit growers.

Pineapple—Originated by Luther Burbank. The name comes from the flavor which is suggest- ive of the pineapple. The fruit in form and size resembles the Orange Quince, but is smoother and more globular, Makes a super- ior jelly; can be eaten raw and is said to cook as tender in five minutes as the best cooking apple, possessing a most exquisite and delici- ous flavor not equalled by any other quince.

Luther Burbank says, ‘‘ Quinces can probably be grown with less expense than any other fruit, and if the quality could be improved, would be extensively grown and more generally used; a more promising fruit for improvement cannot be named.

The grape is the most healthful of all fruits, and the most highly esteemed for its many uses.

It can be secured by everyone who has a garden, a yard, or a wall.

It can be confined to a stake,

bound to a trellis, trained over an arbor, or extended until it covers a large tree or building, and it still yields its graceful bunches and luscious, blooming clusters. Capable of most extraordinary results under wise management; it is prone also to give the greatest disappointment under bad cul- ture or neglect. Other fruits may be had from plants that know no care; but grapes are only to be had through attention and forethought. We will endeaver to point out a few essential points in its successful culture, and refer the cultivator to other and more extended works for more details.

Grape culture is of the greatest commercial importance on the Southern Pacific Coast. We grow vines in the north for our northern trade, and in California for our southern trade, thereby securing vines best adapted for each locality, many of the foreign varieties being grown almost exclusively for the southern trade; and for the north, or localities in which foreign varieties are not adapted, we grow American varieties, which are suited to the localily,

Distance—In setting out vines the character and strength of the soil is a very important point to be considered, 8x8 and 8xro being popular distances; toxto and r1oxi2 for the more robust growers.

GRAPES—Continued.

Soils—Good grapes may be grown on any soils, sandy, clayey, loamy, etc., that are not to shallow or too heavily pregnated with alkali. The soil must be well drained, and there should be _ a free exposure to the sun and air. Hillsides unsuitable for other crops, are good places for grapes.

Crops.—Crop grapes moderately, if you would have fine, well ripened fruit. A vine is capable of bringing only a certain amount of fruit to perfection, proportioned to its size and strength; but it usually sets more fruit than it can mature; reduce the crop early in the season to a moderate num- ber of good clusters and cut off the small, inferior branches; the remainder will be worth much more than the whole would have been. A very heavy crop is usually a disastrous one.

Pruning.—Annual and careful pruning is essential to the production of good grapes. If the roots are called upon to support too much wood, they cannot bring to maturity a fine crop of fruit. The pruning should be done in November, December, February or March, while the vines are entirely dormant.

Gathering and Keeping.—Grapes for keeping to be used in their fresh state should be allowed to remain upon the vines until perfectly matured, but not much longer. Pick them when perfectly dry. Let them stand in open baskets or boxes for about ten days, in a cool, dry room; and after sorting out all decayed and imperfect berries, pack them in shallow boxes and cover closely. Use no paper but basswood or elm boxes if convenient. Pine and other resinous woods should not be used, as they flavor the fruit disagreeably. After packing, keep the boxes where it is both cool and dry. Under careful management some varieties may be kept until spring.

AMERICAN VARIETIES.

Alice—A new red grape of very vigorous growth and hardiness, in quality fully equal to Dela- ware by actual test. Ripening with or before Concord, and keeping in perfect condition, without cold storage, throughout the winter. It does not shell and under suitable conditions will raisin instead of rot. Vine very product- ive. Awarded a “First-class Certificate of Merit’’ by the Mass. Horticultural Society, Boston, Mass., October, 1895. (R.)

Brighton—A cross between Concord and Diana Hamburg. Resembles Catawba in color, size and form of bunch and berry. Flesh rich, sweet and of the best quality. Ripens earlier than Delaware. Vine vigorous and very hardy. This variety has now been thoroughly tested, and it may now be truly said to be without an equal among early grapes. (R.)

Campbell’s Early — 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 keeping and shipping qualities, form a com- bination unequaled by any 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 the vine, for weeks after -Moore’s: -

Early was decayed and. gone. In dessert quality it is unrivaled 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, féw in number and part readily from the pulp. (B.)

For complete description and testimonials of our leading horticulturists, write for our 4-page circular, giving full particulars.

Catawba—Well known as the great wine grape of Ohio, Kentucky, etc. Bunches large and loose; berries large, of a coppery-red color, becoming purplish when well ripened; re- quires the most favorable soils and situations, good culture and warm seasons to mature perfectly. Last of September. (R.)

Concord—A large, handsome grape, ripening a week or two earlier than Isabella; very hardy and productive. Succeeds over a great ex- tent of country, and although not of the highest quality, itis one of the most popular market grapes. (B.)

Delaware—Still holds its own as one of the finest grapes. Bunches small, compact, shouldered; berries rather small, round; skin thin, light red; flesh very juicy; without any hard pulp, with an exceedingly sweet, spicy and delici- ous flavor. Vine moderately vigorous, hardy and productive. Ripens two weeks before the Isabella. (R.)

Early Ohio—Very early, hardy and productive, strong, thrifty grower. Good sized bunch, berry smaller than Concord; adheres firmly to ne stem. A profitable early market sort. = CB:

Eaton—Seedling of the Concord. Bunch and berries of largest size, showy and attractive. Leaf large, thick and leathery; berries round, covered with heavy, blue bloom; pulp tender, separating freely from the seeds. (B. )

Green Mountain—( znchell.)—This, the earliest white’ grape, has been thoroughly tested over a wide area, and has proved most satisfactory. It combines: hardiness, fruitfulness, vigor, good size-and excellent quality. Bunch medium to large, shouldred; berries medium, greenish-white; skin thin, tough, pulp tender, sweet, with few seeds; of excellent quality, free from foxiness, and the flavor is excellent, ranking in this respect as a grape of the first class. It is the first white grape to ripen, ma-

days earlier than the Niagara and as strong a grower, and very rich flavor. <A strong vigor- ous grower, thick, healthy foliage and perfect self-fertilizing blossom. Bunches large and compact, usually shouldered; berries large, nearly round, very sweet with no acid around the seeds, and no puckery taste in the skin; skin thin, green at first, then turning to yel- low when fully ripe, very tenacious, bearing handling and shipping. It has remarkable keeping qualities for an early grape and will hang on the vine sound and pertect for six weeks or more after ripening with no tendency to shell off or fall from the stems. As good a shipper as any of the American grapes. For complete description and testimonials of our lead- ing horticulturists, write for our 2-page circular, giving full particulars. (W.)

McPike—This grand new variety was originated in South Illinois. Was awarded Wilder Silver Medal by the American Pomological Society, has taken first premium at Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and Missouri State Fairs. The McPike is a seedling of the Worden and partakes of all the good qualities of the Concord and Worden to a marked degree. Perfectly hardy, as easily grown as Concord or Worden, with a leaf unprecedented; it is earlier than the Concord; bunches large, even and compact, berries even in size, covered with a beautiful bloom, blue-black in color, ripens uniformly and has generally the appearance of the Worden. The berries are of mammoth size, rivaling Black Hamburg, being often three inches in circumference and of superb quality —one of the best grapes grown. One berry measured 354 inches. The grape is almost perfection. Mr. McPike has sent the grapes to all parts of the country, and the comments are most favorable upon its wonderful size, flavor, hardiness and beauty. (B.)

MOORE’S EARLY.

Moore’s Early—A comparatively new grape raised from seed by John B. Moore, Concord, Mass., in 1872. It is described as follows: Bunch large; berry round (as large as the Wilder or Rogers’ No. 4); color black, with a hea blue bloom; quality better than the Concord; vine exceedingly hardy; has never been covered in the Winter, and has been exposed to a temperature of more than twenty degrees below zero without injury to it; has been entirely exempt from mildew or disease. Its earliness makes it desirable for.an early crop, and more particularly adapts it to New Eng- land and the northern portion. of the United States, maturing as it does, ten days before the Hartford and 20 days before the Concord. (B.)

Moore’s Diamond—A vigorous grower, with dark, healthy foliage, entirely free from mildew. A prolific bearer; bunches large, handsome and compact, slightly shouldered; color delicate, greenish-white, with rich, yellow tinge when fully ripe. Skin smooth and free from specks; pulp tender, juicy and nearly transparent, with very few seeds. Berry about the size of Concord. Quality best; rich, sprightly and sweet, resembling the foreign Chasselas. Ripens about two weeks before Concord. (W.)

Niagara—Occupies the same position among the white varieties as Concord among the black; the leading profitable market sort. Bunch and berries large, greenish-white, changing to pale yellow when fully ripe. Skin thin, but tough; quality much like Concord. (W.)

Pierce—A remarkable, giant-leaved and _ very prolific variety, or rather sport of the Isabella, produced by Mr. J. P. Pierce, of Santa Clara. The berries, like the leaves, are of extraordi- nary size, and when ripe the fruit is exceed- ingly sweet and strongly aromatic; berries bluish-black when fully matured; commands a ready sale in the market, the demand ex- ceeding the supply; for size and quality it cannot be surpassed by any of the American varieties of grapes. (B.)

Pocklington—Originated at Sandy Hill, N. ¥. Vine very vigorous, hardy and productive; bunch and berry of good size; color a light lemon-yellow; flesh moderately tender, sweet, with a peculiar aromatic: flavor. The great vigor and hardiness of the vine, with the beauty and size of the clusters, place this in the front rank of white grapes; ripens with Concord. (W)

Salem—(Roger’s No. 22.) A strong, vigorous vine; berries large, Catawba color; thin skin;

‘free from hard pulp, very sweet and sprightly; ripens first of September. (R.) >

Wilder—(Rogers’ No. 4.)—Large and _ black; bunches generally shouldered; berry round and large; flesh buttery, with a somewhat fibrous center; sweet: rather sprightly. (B.)

Worden—This new variety is a seedling of the

Concord, which it greatly resembles in ap- pearance and flavor, but the berries are larger. The fruit is said to be better flavored and to ripen several days earlier. (B.) .

Wyoming—Vines very hardy, healthy and robust, with thick leathery foliage; color of berry similar to Delaware, but brighter, being one of the most beautiful of the amber or red grapes, and in size nearly double that of the Delaware; flesh tender, juicy; sweet. witha strong native aroma. Ripens before-Delaware. The best early red market variety. (R.)

RESISTANT STOCKS.

The decimation of vineyards in California brought about by the mysterious Phylloxera will make it necessary in the future to plant all new vineyards and replant the old vineyards on the Southern Pacific Coast with vines on resistant stocks. We would refer those wishing to pursue this subject further than we can do in our limited space to the writings of Richter, Ravay, Mayete Vialla and others who made a special study of this. We have for some time realized the import-, ance of this work, and have given this subject careful study, and recommend specially the varieties named below as a result of our own experiments and those of experimental stations and vineyard-

ists, viz.:

The Rupestris—A native of the Pan Handle Dis- trict, is a deep-rooting variety, succeeding in dry, sandy soils and easily grafted; should not be planted where the underlying hardpan or excessive moisture near the surface inter- feres with this tendency. As a stock it takes well to most varieties, especially the following two varieties.

Rupestris St. George—This famous variety will no doubt prove to be one of our most valuable resistants. It is the most vigorous strong grower of all the resistants, and with its deep descending roots, it will, no doubt, adapt itself to a greater variety of soils and climates than any other variety, standing in the rela- tion in the Rupestris family that the Glorie de Montpelier does in the Riparia, and has been more extensively planted, not only in Califor- nia; but also in France and throughout Europe than any other resistant. It should not be planted in very shallow soils, and is preferred to St. Martin’s except under the two condi- tions mentioned below.

Rupestris St. Martin—Said to be even more vig- orous than the St. George. Makes a very strong root system, with a tendency to spread rather than to go down as in the St. George.

The Riparia, Rupestris and Lenoir, as shown below.

Grafts make a better growth and ripen up better than in the St. George. Will thrive where there is an excess of lime and do better than St. George in excessively dry locations.

The Riparia thrives in a rich, damp soil and will succeed where hardpan is near the surface if there is plenty of moisture. A rampant grower will support strong growing varieties. The Glorie de Montpelier given below we consider the best variety under this class.

Riparia Glorie de Montpelier—Introduced from France. A vigorous, strong grower, with large foliage; the best of the Riparia and has lately nearly superseded all others of that family; said to succeed in shallow soils if they have sufficient fertility but not adapted to any compact soils.

Lenoir—This variety has been very extensively planted in California, but is now being replaced with varieties more resistant to the attacks of the Phyloxera. It is well adapted to heavy clay soils. Has been found to be very satisfactory as a resistant in Napa and Sonoma Counties, California, on such soils. The grapes are rich in coloring matter, and are used very largely for coloring clarets.

RASPBERRIES—Rubus.

Plant in good soil, and manure it from time to time freely. four feet apart each way, with two or three plants on a hill. If the location is much exposed and the plants inclined

Cuthbert—(The Queen of the market)—Large, conical, deep, rich crimson; firm, of excellent quality. A vigorous grower, entirely hardy and immensely productive. ‘‘I regard it as the best raspberry for general culture.’’— Charles Downing. ‘‘ Now regarded by care- ful and experienced horticulturists as the best raspberry in: existence for general cultivation, I have it in a specimen bed with twenty-five other kinds, and-it surpasses all other.’’— E.

The desire for a yel- low raspberry of high quality, combined with vigorous growth and perfect hardiness, is be- lieved to be fully met in this variety.

Marlboro — The largest early red_ raspberry, ripening only a few days after Hansell; beau- titul .bright scarlet, of good but not high quality; hardy and productive.

Miller’s—Bright red color which it holds after picking. Stout, healthy, vigorous grower; canes not as tall as Cuthbert; well adapted to catrying their immense loads of berries. Berries large; hold their size to end of season; round, bright red, cores small; do not crumble; firmest and best shipper; rich fruity flavor. Commences to ripen with the earliest. We can highly recommend this for either home or market.

Japanese Raspberry—(Wineberry )— Ornamental both in fruit and plant. Canes covered with purplish-red hairs; leaves dark-green, silvery gray beneath. Fruit in large clusters and HEE berry at first tightly enveloped by the large calyx, forming a sort of burr, which is covered with purplish red hairs. These grad- ually open and turn back, exposing beautiful wine-colored fruit of medium size; brisk sub- acid, retaining flavor when cooked; highly esteemed for canning, preserves, jellies, etc.

Queen of the Market—See Cuthbert.

Susqueco—See Brandywine. Loudon—The best red mid-season berry. Its oints of superiority are vigor of growth, arge fruit, beautiful, rich dark crimson color, good quality and marvelous productiveness

Turner—(.Southern Thornless)—Very desirable ~ as an early sort for the home garden, Berries good size, bright crimson, sweet.

BLACK CAPS.

Cumberland—In size, the fruit is simply enor- mous, far surpassing any other sort. The ber- ries run seven-eighths and fifteen-sixteenths of an inch in diameter, and are of such hand- some appearance that their fruit has often sold for to cents per quart, when other varie- ties were selling for 5c to 7c per quart. The quality is very similar and fully equal to Gregg. In spite of its unusual large size, the fruit is possessed of great firmness and is thus well adapted for standing long shipments. Mid- season. The bush is exceedingly healthy and vigorous, throwing up stout stocky canes, well adapted for supporting their loads of large fruit.

Gregg—Of good size; fine quality; very product- ive and hardy. It takes the same position among black caps as Cuthbert among the red sorts. No one can afford to be without it.

Kansas — Strong, vigorous grower, standing extremes of drought and cold, and bearing immense crops. Early, ripening just after Palmer. Berries size of Gregg; of better color; jet black, and almost free from bloom; firm, of best quality; presents a handsome appearance and brings highest price in market.

Mammoth Cluster—Large, in size next to Gregg. Canes of strong growth and very prolific. Berries large and of fine quality.

Munger—The fruit of Munger is black, and resembles Gregg very much. It isa better flavored berry than Gregg, tougher in texture and therefore a better shipper. In size it excels Gregg by almost 25 per cent, being extra fine for canning and evaporating. In seasons when most others are dry and seedy, Munger ripens up sweet and juicy, and readily brings an advance of 50 cents per bushel over other kinds. The canes, too, resemble Gregg, are free from disease, upright in growth.

Ohio—A very strong growing, hardy sort, fruit nearly as large as Mammoth Cluster; more productive than any other variety, and one of the most, if not ze most valuable for market.

Souhegan—( Tyler) —A new variety, commended very highly as a market sort by those who ~ have grown it. Said to be enormously pro- ductive, perfectly hardy and free from disease

’ of any kind. .

Schaeffer’s Colossal—( Puthill)—A strong growing variety, producing berries of great size, excel- lent to dry, and unsurpassed for canning; flavor peculiar and fine.

CURRANTS.—Ribes.

Plant in rows four feet apart each way, if practicable. Light and air will do as much to enhance

the value of currant bushes as with other plants.

Keep the ground mellow, free from weeds, and

in good state of fertility and prune freely every spring. Should the currant worm appear, dust a little white hellobore powder, from a small, coarse bag, over the bushes when the leaves are damp. In some instances it may be necessary to repeat this process, but the trouble and expense of exterminating the worms is trifling if the Aowder is applied as soon as the worms appear.

Black Champi@én—Very productive, large bunch and berry; excellent quality; strong grower. The leading, well-tested black sort.

Black Naples—Very large, black, rich, tender and excellent for jellies and wine; very productive.

Cherry—Very large, deep red, rather acid; bunches short; plants erect, stout, vigorous and productive.

Fay’s Prolific-Originated in Chautauqua County, N. Y. Across between Cherry and Victoria; of large size, fine flavor and claimed to be five times as prolific as the Cherry. A great acquisition.

La Versaillaise—Very large, red; bunch long, of great beauty and, excellent quality. One of the finest and best, and should be in every

’ collection. Very productive.

Lee’s Prolific Black—A new English variety. The fruit is large and of superior quality; the bush is a vigorous grower and enormously productive, rendering it very profitable.

North Star—The strongest grower among the red varieties; should be given plenty of room and ground kept well enriched; bunches average four inches in length and are freely produced. Combines extreme hardiness,

vigorous growth, extra quality and great pro- ductiveness.

Pomona—While not the largest, is of good size. It is a beautiful, clear bright, almost trans- parent red; has but few and small seeds, easily picked, hangs a long time after ripe, and is one of the best to hold up in shipping or on the market. A vigorous grower, healthy and hardy, the most productive, one of the sweetest and best in quality, continues longest in profitable bearing, retains its foliage, hangs on bush in good condition the longest, comes into bearing early, is easily and cheaply picked. Hold an _ unparalled record for actual acreage yield ‘in ordinary field culture.

Victoria—A splendid variety; ripening two or three weeks later than the others, and con- tinuing in a fine condition for a long period. Bunches extremely long; berries of medium size, brilliant red and of the highest quality.

White Grape—Very large; yellowish white, sweet, or very mild acid; excellent quality and val- uable for the table. The finest of the white sorts. Very distinct from White Dutch, hav-

- ing a-low spreading habit and dark green foliage. Very productive.

Give the plants same cultivation as Raspberries.

ICEBERG.

Early Harvest—A variety of great promise, being exceedingly early in time of ripening and always reliable. The canes are strong and upright in growth, branching stout and vig- orously. NHardier than Kittatinny or Lawton; an enormous bearer. Berries sweet and of the highest quality, though not as large as some varieties.

Erie—Said to be the only large, productive, absolutely hardy blackberry yet introduced. Originated in Northern Ohio. Free from rust and all other diseases, and wonderfully productive, (exceeding even the prolific Law- ton), bending the robust canes to the ground with the weight of fruit. Fruit very large, excellent quality, handsome and firm, and ripens exceedingly early; fruit uniform both in size and shape.

Eldorado—A new seedling from Preble County, :

Ohio. The vines are very vigorous and hardy, enduring the winters of the far Northwest without injury, and their yield is enormous. The berries are large, jet black, borne in large clusters, and ripen well together, they are very sweet, melting and pleasing to the taste, have no hard core, and keep eight or ten days after picking with quality unimpaired, combining nearly all the good qualities found in a blackberry.

Evergreen — Introduced from Oregon; origin unknown; beautiful, cut-leaved foliage, which it retains during the winter; berries large, black, sweet, rich, and delicious; it continues

to ripen from July to November, which makes it one of the best berries for family use; an excellent trellis and arbor plant.

Himalaya Giant— (New )—Vigorous grower, canes

sometimes reaching 30 to 4o feet, must be trained on a trellis. Fruit largé, black; very abundant bearer and_ excellent shipper; shape,more round than Kittatinny or Lawton, more juicy and smaller seed. Mr. Brodie, Superintendnent Experimental Station, Puyal- lup, states that it has yielded at the rate of 400 crates (9,600 quarts) per acre, and thinks. it might be made to field 600 crates per acre on proper soil.

Iceberg—This wonderful berry is the origination

of the far-famed Luther Burbank, whose remarkable success in the production of valu- able new plants has given him the title of the ‘Wizard of Horticulture.’’ The fruit is white transparent; the seeds, which are untfsually small, can be seen in the ripe berries. The clusters are larger than those of Lawton; individual berries as large but earlier sweeter and more melting than Lawton. Like all blackberries the Iceberg is slightly bitter when not thoroughly ripe.

Kittatinny—Large, black, sweet; soft when black;

very hardy; ripens up gradually like Lawton. One of the best except in northern sections.

Lawton — (New Rochelle) — The well known

market variety.

Logan Berry.

Fruit Dept.—Blackberries.—Blackberry-Raspberry.—Hybrids. 37

Mammoth — (New) — Supposed to be a cross between the Wild Blackberry of California and the Crandall’s Early. Grows entirely ulike any other blackberry plant known. It is arampant grower, trailing on the ground and under favorable conditions will grow twenty feet in a season; the canes are large, of deep red color when exposed to the sun; the foliage is large, thick, of a deep green color. Enormously productive and exceed- ingly early, ripening three weeks before other cultivated kinds. Fruit enormous, specimens measuring 2% inches long; seeds small, soft, and abundant; core small, soft: In size and flavor said to surpass all other varieties of blackberries. We offer it to the public only after a most thourough test, covering a period of several years. (See cut).

LOGAN BLACKBERRY_RASPBERRY.—HYBRIDS. |

Raspberry - Blackberry — Judge J. H. Logan of Santa Cruz is the discoverer of this wonderful fruit. It is thought to be raised from a cross of the Aughinbaugh Blackberry and Red Antwerp Raspberry. The vine grows entirely unlike the blackberry or raspberry; it trails upon the ground like a dewberry. The canes are very large, without the thorns of the blackberry, but have very fine spines like those found on the raspberry; leaves resemble those of the raspberry more than of the blackberry; are of a deep green color, coarse and thick. An exceedingly strong grower, and az enormous bearer. ‘The fruit is as large as the largest sized blackberry, of the same form and shape, a dark, bright red color when fully ripe, and combines the flavor of both the raspberry and the blackberry, having a mild and very pleasant vinous flavor, not found in any other fruit. Raw, it is ex- cellent for the table, as also stewed, and for

Rathbun—Origin Western New York.

A strong erect grower with strong stem, branching freely; will root from tip of branches like a Raspberry. Hardy, having endured 20 de- grees below zero and produced a good crop. Forms a neat compact bush 4 to 5 feet high, producing its immense fruit abundantly. Fruit Is sweet and luscious without hard core, of extra high flavor, jet black, small seeds; firm enough to ship and handle well. Very large size, resembling the Wilson and fully equal to that grand variety, with the addition of hardiness.

jelly or jam itis without an equal. Fruit ripens early, the bulk being gone before the blackberries or raspberries become plentiful. It is firm and a fine shipper.

The Phenomenal Berry—One of the most valuable

of all Luther Burbank’s novelties. It is the re- sult of a cross between the Improved California Dewberry and the Cuthbert Raspberry. Mr. Burbank describes it as larger than the largest berry ever before known; bright crimson raspberry color; productive as could be de- sired, and the most delicious of all berries for canning and drying. The berries grow in clusters, each having five to ten, or more, and individual berries often measure three inches. around one way by four the other, and weigh one-quarter ounce each. Even larger ones were weighed and measured last summer, and

when exhibited provoked the question: ‘‘Will they be sold by the dozen ?”’

Blackberry-Raspberry Hybrids.—Continued.

Primus Berry—This is one of Mr. Burbank’s greatest productions, and he says of it: ‘‘This was my first success with Blackberry-Rasp- berry Hybrids, and it has been fully tested for several seasons. Itis one of the most pro- ductive berries known, and is larger and more regular in shape than any other berry. Its flavor is unique; nothing like it has before appeared. All pronounce it superior when cooked, and eaten raw it is claimed to be the best berry ever tasted. This berry is really enormous in size of fruit and vigor of growth. Its flavor is like that of a raspberry and black-

DEWBERRIES—Rubus

Lucretia—One of the low-growing, trailing black- berries; in size and quality it equals any of the tall- growing sorts. Perfectly hardy, healthy and remarkably productive, with large, showy flowers. The fruit, which ripens early, is often one and one-half inches long, by one inch in diameter; soft, sweet and luscious throughout, with no hard core; ripe before late raspberries are gone. Should be mulched to keep berries from the ground. We highly recommend this variety.

berry combined; fruit long and handsome, of a mulberry black color. Its season of fruiting is earlier than either the raspberry or black- berry, following close upon the strawberry, often before Standard Blackberries commence to bloom. Bushes inclined to a trailing habit, and are best trained upon wires like grape- vines. It is sornewhat of a perpetual bearer, showing more or less fruit all summer. Ina greenhouse it is a great thing, for it will fruit splendidly all winter and prove exceedingly profitable. It is as hardy as an oak in any climate and a sure cropper every year.’’ Too soft to bear long shipments.

Canadensis.

Premo—A new extra early dewberry; very large, jet black, firm and good; ripens its crop very fast. The special points in this dewberry are: Ripens 7 to 1o days earlier than Lucretia, ripening the crop so fast that it is nearly all gone at second picking of the Lucretia; better and firmer quality; foliage darker green and more healthy than Lucretia; not inclined to burn when hot sun comes, as

the other sometimes does.

GOOSEBERRIES—Ribes.

This fruit is so useful for cooking when green or ripe, and it may be canned with such facility, that it is beginning to be cultivated very extensively for both home use and market.

It requires the same cultivation and treatment for worms as the Currant.

The worms attack

the Gooseberry before the Currant bushes, and if a few of the former are set near a Currant plantation, and the worms exterminated on these, there will be little if any trouble from them on

the Currant bushes.

The American varieties, though not quite so large as the English sorts, are of fine quality, and

are not subject to mildew.

Crown Bob—Very large, thin skin, hairy, bright red; flavor very good.

Downing—Originated at Newburgh, N. Y. Fruit much larger than Houghton; roundish, light green, with distinct veins; skin smooth; flesh soft, juicy and very fine flavored. Vigorous and productive. One of the most valuable American sorts.

Houghton’s Seedling—Vigorous grower, abundant bearer; fruit of medium size, pale red, sweet and juicy. Free from mildew.

industry—This is said to be the best English gooseberry yet introduced. It is of vigorous, upright growth, a great cropper. The berries are of the largest size, dark red, hairy, rich and agreeable. Mildews in Willamette Valley.

dosselya—(Red Jacket)—An American seedling of large size; smooth, prolific and hardy; of best quality. Has been well tested over a wide extent of territory by the side of all the leading varieties, and so far the freest from mildew, both in leaf and fruit of them all. A wondertul cropper, with bright, clean, healthy foliage.

Originated by Prof. Wm. Saunders, of Cen- tral Experimental Farm, Ottawa, Canada, and named Red Jacket in memory of an old Indian

chief, the introducer not being aware, at the time, of the existance of another gooseberry (English) named ‘‘Red Jacket.’’ The Com- mittee on Nomenclature of the Western New York Horticultural Society, at Rochester, Janu- ary 25, 1899, to hereafter prevent confusion in varieties, renamed the American Red Jacket Josseyln, in honor of the introducer. For com- plete description and testimonials of our leading horticulturists, write for our 4-page circular, giving full particulars.

Oregon Champion — A new variety introduced from Oregon, where it originated; fruit large, round; an immense bearer, and entirely free from mildew. One of the best yet intro- duced.

Pearl—This. very delicious American is a cross between Houghton and one of the large English varieties. It is very hardy, entirely free from mildew; superior in size and quality, more productive than Downing, and is likely to supersede this standard sort. The many flattering testimonials of this new berry from most of the leading horticulturists, lead us to recommend it for small or, extensive planting as one of the best berries of recent introduc-

tion. 7

Victoria — (New) — The best Gooseberry in England, and the champion berry for the London market. It is the strongest grower, making shoots 3 feet 9 inches in a season. Berries larger than Crown Bob or Lancashire Lad, pale red color and excellent flavor, similar to the Ashton Reds or Warrenton; a late bloomer and a sure cropper; it is of a hardy constitution, growing and bearing well in Northumberland, England. <A_ Victoria 3-year-old bush, bearing 28 % lbs. of fine, large fruit, was shown at the Drill Hall, London, in 1goo, and received great praise from a large number of leading nurserymen, who spoke very highly of it. It is much in advance of all other English gooseberries. The Horti- cultural Trade Journal, August 14, 1901,

said: ‘‘The Windham (Industry) seems likely to be eclipsed in productiveness by the introduction of Victoria, by Messrs. Charlton & Sons (the introducers in England); an illustration on one of our pages shows the pro- lific nature of this variety, and what is shown in the illustration on the two shoots that are reproduced from photographs, we saw on hundreds of branches on the young trees, every shoot was alike, no blanks, each one bearing down with an enormous weight of large fruit, truly a most prolific cropper; the large fruit, of a pale red color, was thickly set on every branch, characteristic of the variety from the first. Flavor, too, is excellent, and, all around, it seems well suited for market purposes.’”’

Do not cut for use until the plants have grown two seasons.

Mammoth White Asparagus is even more robust and vigorous in habit, and grows larger shoots and fully as many of them, as the Conover’s Colossal. Market gardeners, growers for canners, and amateurs, should give this great acquisition a thorough trial.

Palmetto—A very early variety. Even, regular size; of excellent quality.

RHUBARB, or PIE PLANT.

The great value of Rhubarb has always been its earliness.

It deserves to be ranked among the best early products of the garden.

It atfords the earliest

material for fine pies and fresh table sauce, continues long in use, and is valuable for canning. Make the ground rich and deep and thus secure a large and tender growth.

Australian, Crimson Winter—I[ntroduced by Luther Burbank: ‘‘ Fully six months earlier than any other Rhubarb. The stalk of medium size, well grown ones averaging 12 to 18 inches in length and about 34 to 1 inch in diameter. They are a pale, greenish-crimson color, turning when cooked to a light clear crimson, and of very best quality. The plants somewhat more inclined to blossom than the other kinds, which is easily remedied by topping. Crimson Winter starts to grow vig- orously by October and continues to produce stalks continuously until after the common varieties make their first appearance some six

months later. If kept moist will produce stalks. abundantly at any season; it is, in fact, abso- lutely perpetual.”’

Dodge Prolific—A valuable new variety; seedling from the Myatt’s Linnzeus; ripens between the Victoria and Linnzeus; very large, stalks often three to four feet high; very tender; the best variety that has been introduced, unless. it is the Australian Crimson Winter, which stands in a class by itself.

Linn2us—Large, early, tender and fine. The very best of the old varieties.

Victoria—Very large and valuable for market. Early.

STRAWBERRIES—Fragaria.

Strawberries may be successfully grown on any soil adapted for garden purposes, or where

good crops of grain or potatoes can be raised,

The ground should be WELL prepared, thoroughly

enriched, and be kept mellow and free from weeds,

Admiral Dewey—{ New) —Originated near Salem, Oregon. Larger than the Wilson, very firm, good shipper and unexcelled for canning. Color, beautiful dark red, and unlike other berries, the flesh is red to the center, no white core; shape conical, much like Clark’s Seed- ling; very early and abundant bearer, and continues bearing through the season, coming nearest to an everbearing berry of any in this vicinity; flavor resembles that of the wild strawberry.

Clark’s Seedling— (Hood River)—This new berry originated at Hood River, Oregon, where it

- is planted to the exclusion of all others, for long distance shipments. It is larger than the Wilson, very firm. Color a beautiful dark red, and in quality unsurpassed.

Crescent Seedling—Large, averaging larger than

Wilson’s Albany; conical; color.a handsome, bright scarlet; quality very good. In pro- ductiveness unequalled, having produced over 400 bushels per acre. Plants very strong and vigorous; a most valuable market sort.

Jessie—On rich soil, and with good culture, this is a valuable sort. It is fairly productive, and the berries average large, of great beauty and high quality.

Magoon—Has proved to be a leader in hardiness, in addition to all of its other good qualities, the Magoon alone has come through the trying weather of hard winters without injury. The Magoon Strawberry always brings top prices in the Portland market, and is a re- markable yielder.

Oregon Everbearing—It is a vigorous grower and adapted to all soils and locations. On the Pacific Coast it is a constant and abundant bearer of large, handsome berries of good quality, from early May until killed by frost.

Pearl—Said to possess more points of excellence than any other. Plants immensely strong, vigorous and _ productive; berries large, symmetrical and well colored.

Sharpless—A grand variety in every respect; berries uniformly very large, deep, clear red; moderately firm, sweet and excellent, a strong grower and very productive.

Wilson’s Albany — Medium to large, dark red; very hardy, vigorous and productive. The most widely known and universally successful strawberry.

FIGS—Ficus.

Black Ischia—Medium size, dark purple, almost black when ripe; flesh deep red, sweet and luscious; tree hardy; an excellent bearer.

8rown Turkey—This is a very large fig; color violet-brown; the earliest large fig in the San Francisco market.

California Black—{ Mission)—The well - known local variety; fruit large, dark purple, almost black when fully ripe; makes a good dried fig; tree grows to a very large size, and bears immense crops.

Smyrna—(Lob Ingir) — Described by Gustave Eisen in Bulletin No. 9, pages 250 and 278 as follows: — ‘‘ Bulletin Smyrna, Commercial Smyrna, or California, Erbeghli, Erbelli, Erbeili; fruit large to very large, about 234 inches wide by 2% long, descidedly flattened like an onion; being compressed in diameter from stem to eye, neck thin, distinct but short; generally straight. No stalk or one very short. Ribs heavy, uneven, knotted and branching. Eye large, with numerous scales of amber tint, open and about 3-16 inches wide, so that the pulp can be seen through the opening. Skin the color of bees wax,

smooth and waxy, shaded greenish. Pulp pale to dark amber; when unripe shaded red. No distinct iris, Seeds large, flattened. Tree a strong, spreading but rather a straggling grower, with heavy branches. This is the best type of Smyrna fig, and the majority of figs im- ported from Smyrna to this country belong to this variety. It is a distinct fig, and this, and no other fig, should be known as Smyrna, if this name should be used at all. The promiscuous use of the name Smyrna figs cannot be too much condemned. First imported by the Bulletin Co.’’

White Adriatic—This variety takes the lead of all figs planted in California, and has of late years proved the most profitable fig grown. The best dried figs have been produced from this variety. Tree a strong and healthy grower; fruit about medium size, skin white and thin; pulp red, exceedingly aromatic, and changes to amber color when dried. Intro- duced from Sicily. Aug.-Oct.

White Ischia—Small, pale greenish yellow; flesh purple, highly flavored and luscious; will ripen its fruit along the coast, where the finer varieties do not mature.

CAPRI, or WILD FIGS.

To successfully fruit and grow the Smyrna Fig, it is necessary to have the Capri, or Wild Fig.

In the Capri Fig there is said to exist in the Mediterranean regions ¢hvee crops of fruit.

or ‘‘profichi,’’ the second, or ‘‘mammoni,’’ and the third, or ‘‘mamme,’’ the latter remaining

upon the trees during the winter.

The fig wasp (Blastophaga grossorum) winter in the mamme,

NUT TREES.

The past few years have witnessed a remarkable development in the planting of Nut-bearing trees. Probably no branch of. tree cultivation pays larger profits or is as well assured of a profit- able market for all products. The immense importation of foreign nuts every year gives some idea of the market to be supplied. Few farms but contain land. that, if planted to nut-bearing trees, would pay better than anything else to which it could be devoted; the nuts in many cases paying better than farm crops or fruits, while most kinds are making a growth of valuable timber, that will of itself pay a large per cent on the investment,

Our native Nut-bearing trees are admirably adapted for planting in streets, farm lanes, pastures, etc,, for shade, ornament, and profitable returns.

HYDRANGEAS.

Beautiful free flowering shrubs, bearing im- mense panicles or trusses of flowers. Pani- culata is perfectly hardy and requires no protection; the other varieties require pro- tection in winter and should be grown in pots or boxes and wintered in the cellar, except in the warmer sections. :

H. Paniculata Grandiflora — This is one of the most valuable hardy shrubs. It attains a height of three to four feet, and is perfectly hardy inall parts of the country. The flow- ers are white, borne in immense panicles nearly a foot in length. It commences flowering in July and continues until No- vember. The plant should be cut back every spring at least one-half of last season’s growth as the flowers are borne on new wood and are much finer when the plant is treated in this way. An excellent shrub for cemetery planting.

H. Otaksa —A splendid variety from Japan. Flowers large, bright pink tinted with blue ; produced very freely.

H. Thomas Hogg—Immense trusses of flowers, at first slighly tinged with green, becoming of the purest white, and remaining so along time.

Hypericum—See St. John Wort. Japan Silver Thorn—See Elzagnus. Indian Currant—See Snowberry.

JUNE BERRY—{ Amelanchier Anifolia Nana).

Improved Dwarf—The fruit is borne in clusters, reddish purple in color, changing to bluish- black. In flavor it is mild, rich, sub-acid, execllent as a dessert fruit orcanned. It is extremely hardy. In habit it is similiar to the currant, the bushes attaining the same size.

It is almost an evergreen, and grows freely in all soils; is compact and regular in its form, and bears shearing to any ex- tent. The flowers appear in June and July. Makes fine ornamental single spec- imens and one of the most desirable hedge plants; com- pact, free grower.

Common—(L. Vulgare) — An English shrub with smooth dark green leaves; showy white flowers; fruit purple, hardy.

California — (L. Ovalifolium) —A vigorous growing vari- ety, of fine habit, thick, glossy, nearly evergreen leaves. Of all ornamental hedge plants, this is the most highly prized. If cut to the ground one or two years after planting it makes a very thick hedge right from the bottom, sending up many strong shoots. The leaves are a rich green, and will remain on the plants up to Christmas, and if they are little sheltered they will keep green almost all winter. This is especi- ally the case if the hedge has attained some age and has frequently been trim- med. Though it is a strong grower it can be kept to a

low size by frequent trimming.

CALIFORNIA PRIVET.

Privet—See Deciduous shrubs. RHODODENDRON, or ROSEBAY-( Rhododendron).

This, wherever known, is universally acknowl-

edged to be the most showy, magnificent,

hardy evergreen shrub that grows. It will thrive in any good soil without any special preparation, and in the full blaze of the sun. But it is more luxuriant in good, well prepared soil of leaf mould, or leaf mould and muck and peat mixed, and in partial shade, and does specially well near seacoast. It is abundantly supplied with numerous fibrous roots that retain a quantity of earth in lifting, so that it can safely be removed at any season of the year, except the short period of their rapid growth, covering a portion of June and July. The broad thick evergreen foliage, with its glossy richness would alone entitle it to a place foremost in the rank of evergreen shrubs. but when in June this mass of luxuriant foliage is almost hidden by the magnificent array of beautiful flowers in clusters and each cluster large enough for a lady’s bouquet. it gives ita pre-eminencethat our pen would failtoportray. Planted singly, in the flower garden or upon the lawn. they are objects of interest, but their greatest beauty, as in many other plants, can only be fully developed by artistically massing them in beds upon the lawn, when the different varieties, of white, blue, purple, cherry, lilac, mauve and crimson, can be made to blend or contrast at will, producing an

effect unrivalled by any other hardy plant in existence. We have a considerable list of the hardy grafted varieties that are of higher price and much more desirable than the seedlings of the Catawbiense, as they compass in the different sorts the entire range of colors, and each in itself distinct and definite, while the seedlings, as a rule, vary but little from the original type. When soils are too strongly impregnated with lime, the original soil should be removed to a good depth and width where the Rhododendrons are to be p'anted and the space filled in with leaf mould and peat or muck mixed, or some other soil tolerably free from lime. They will repay all care that may be bestowed in preparing a bed suitable to their wants.

Spindle or Strawberry Tree—See Euonymus. Yucca—(Spanish Bayonet or Adam's Needle)

‘‘ It seems unnecessary to speak at length of the value of the climbing plants in our gardens and pleasure grounds. They are equally ornamental on the walls and terraces of the stable, mansion, and on the humblest cottage, over whose low roof a mantle of rose or clematis sheds such a transforming cloud of beauty. They grace the garden walls and take from stiff and hard lines their ugliness by fresh foliage, pretty flowers, and often pleasing fruit.”” Invaluable for cover. ing trellises, walls, cottages, etc,

For the garden we can ship either in the spring or autumn.

LILIES.—Lilium.

No class of plants capable of being cultivated out of doors possesses so many charms; rich and varied in color, stately and handsome in habit, profuse in variety, and of delicious fragrance, they stand prominently out from all other hardy plants. They thrive best in a dry, rich soil well drained,

where water will not stand in winter.

After planting they require very little care, and should not

be disturbed for several years, established plants blossom more freely than if taken up annually.

We

have given great care and attention to its culture and are constantly adding new varieties and dropping old ones that for any reason do not give satisfaction. We try to keep up to date and always test them before placing them before the public, as manv varieties are not worthy of general distribution. They require plenty of manure and good cultivation. Old and decayed branches, and at least half the previous season’s growth should be cut away early each spring, and a little cutting back after the first blooming will insure more late flowers. Tea and Noisette roses should be protected by covering them with evergreen boughs during the winter months, in cold sections.

Insects.—If the ‘‘thrip’’ or fly appears, syringe the plants daily with a strongly steeped solution of tobacco stems (one pound of stems to five gallons of water), or a solution of whale oil soap (one pound of soap to eight gallons of water) until the insects are mastered. Rose bugs, which work at the flowers, must be picked off. The presence of the ro-e caterpillar can be detected by its glueing two or more leaves together to form a shelter. These leaves should be promptly pressed together with the thumb and finger. Insects which eat the leaves can be destroyed by applying white hellebore when the foliageisdamp. The secret of success in destroying all species of insects hes in applying the appropriate remedy as soon as the insects appear.

HYBRID {PERPETUAL “or HYBRID REMONSTANT.

It is peculiarly adapted for both outdoor plant- ing or for blooming in pots in the house dur- ing the winter. It is a strong. vigorous grower, making well rounded bushy plants. The Burbank Rose is perfectly hardy, and will stand our most severe weather. The Burbank is, without doubt. the freesi-flowering Hybrid Perp-tual Rose in cultivation. It com- mences to bloom when only a few inches high, and blooms throughout the season until stopped by freezing weather. The flowers are double, three inches across. The whole flower is most pleasing in its rich beauty, and is de- lighttully fragrant,

Marshall P. Wilder—Color bright cherry carmine; fragrant; of good growth with fine foliage One of the freest of the Hybrid Perpetuals to bloom; we can recommend this Rose without hesitation.

Mrs. John Laing —New. As a bedding Rose this is undoubtedly one of the best varieties \et introduced, being hardly ever out of bloom all summer. Color, a_ beautiful shade of delicate pink; of large size and very fragrant. It is also a good forcer from January onwards.

Paul Neyron—Deep rose color; splendid foliage and habit, with large flower.

Persian Yellow—Bright yellow, small, nearly full. It is desirable to grow more than one plant, and by pruning one this year in the usual way, and the other plant the next year, annual crops of flowers may be had.

Prince Camille de Rohan- One of the darkest colored Roses; very dark velvety crimson, changing to intense maroon. There is no Rose in aJl this collection that attracts more favorable comment than this one. A very prolific bloomer and the blooms are of excel- lent form and size.

Soleil D’?Or—New hardy yellow rose. The goal for which many of the world’s greatest Rose hybridizers have been striving has at last been reached and we have a double flowered Yellow Rose, hardy enough to withstand the winters of our northern states. Has_blos- somed all summer on the coast. Soleil D’Or is the result of across between Persian Yellow and Antoine Dutcher, retaining many of the characteristics of Persian Yellow. the bark being much the same and foliage resembling that of its parent but produced more plenti fully, while in growth it is more branching

and more vigorous. ‘The flower is perfection in form with conical buds, expanding into a large and full globular flower, with incurved inner petals. The buds are a marvelous shade of rich chrome yellow with just a tint- ing of conppery rose in the center. The fu ly expanded flower is beautiful in its blendings of orange ye'low, reddi:h gold and nasturtium red, forming a coloring impossible to satis- factorily describe. This grand seedling has been shown at all the large Rose exhibitions in Europe and has received the highest awards possible to grant at every display.

Ulrich Brunner—Splendid upright grower, with bright, healthy foliage. The flowers are good sized, and of fine form, with shell- shaped petals. One of the most abundant bloomers; color, cherry red.

For walls, pillars and porches, or any other place where a hardy climbing Rose is wanted, nothing can be more desirable or beautiful. If grown in beds and pegged down, it makes a brilliant display with its profusion of bloom, large clusters shooting out from each joint. As many as 300 blooms have been counted ona single branch

Dorothy Perkins—( New) —This is asplendid new, shell-pink climbing rose. It attracted much attention at the Pan-American Exposition, where a bed of fourteen-months-old plants produced a show of bloom unequalled by any other variety, unless it was the famous Crim- son Rambler. This new rose is of the same strong habit of growth as Crimson Rambler, and the flowers are borne in clusters of 30 or 40 and sometimes even 50 to 60.,, The flowers are large for a rose of this class, very double, sweetly scented and of a beautiful shell pink, a color that is almost impogsiple to accurately represent by lithography. _aised from seed of Rosa Wichuriana, crossed with that grand old rose Mme. Gabriel Luizet... Absolutely hardy. Mr. Wm. Scott, the Agsjt Supt. of

Horticulture at the Pan-American, says, regarding the Dorothy Perkins: ‘‘ This has exactly the habit of the well-known Crimson Rambler. It has flowered splendidly and been very brilliant. This seems to me to be a great acquisition and I believe it to bea good forcing rose. The individual flower is larger than the Crimson Rambler, but it is a beautiful shell-pink in color.”’

Empress of China—A very hardy, free flowering climbing Rose, of good size, blooming in clusters; bright pink flowers; very attractive. It is practically ever blooming, for on good- sized plants, when well established in. the ground, flowers may be expected the whole season.

Greville, or Seven Sisters—Crimson, changes to blush; flowers in large clusters; not as hardy as others.

Leuchtstera—( New)—Flowers single, in large clusters, bright rose with a distinct white eye, like a cineraria; foliage and habits resembling Crimson Rambler. A_ very distinct and valuable variety.

Pink Rambler—( Euphrosyne)—What is said of White Rambler applies equally to this, except the color of the flowers is pure shiny rose— the partially open buds being bright, light carmine, thus producing a strong and pleasing contrast. The flowers often change to creamy white when fully matured. ‘‘The numerous yellow stamens lend an additional charm to the flower. In hardiness, freedom of bloom, form and color of flowers and vigorous climb- ing habit, this variety is fully the equal of Crimson Rambler.”’

Queen of the Prairie—Bright rosy red, frequently striped with white, large, compact and glob- ular.

Russell’s Cottage—Dark crimson, very double and full. Strong grower.

Rubin—(New)—Another acquisition resembling the Crimson Rambler, but having larger flowers of adeep red or ruby color. Very attractive.

White Rambler—(Thalia)—A worthy companion for the Crimson Rambler. In habit of growth, foliage, manner of blooming and shape of flower this is identical with Crimson Rambler, differing only in color, which in Thalia is pure, clear white. Flowers quite fragrant and last for a long time after cutting.

Yellow Rambler — (Aglaia) — The only yellow, hardy climbing rose. It has been thoroughly’ tested and found to successfully ihe without protection, a continued temperature of zero. and below. It is similar to, Crimson Rambler.in. manner of blooming, the flowers being in immense clusters and having the same lasting qualities, remaining in bloom three to four weeks. The plant is even freer in growth than Crimson Ramblep, and soon makes a fine, showy specimen. WGA

Meteor—As a dark crimson pérpetual blooming

rose this ranks as one of the best yet intro- duced of any class. It is especially valuable for summer and fall, blooming either in the greenhouse or in open ground, and where there is a demand for fine roses in’ summer, this variety will become a great favorite.

Mrs. Robt. Garrett—A beautiful, large Rose of exquisite shape, finish and blending of colors. It was raised by Mr. John Cook of Baltimore, Md., the result of a cross between Sombreuil and Madame Caroline Testout. It partakes largely of the latter variety in habit of growth,

in foliage, spines and stems, and in shape of

flowers shows a complete blending of both parents. The flowers are very large onstron

stems, clothed with clean, heavy foliage an

strong spines. The buds are long and pointed in shape, and open up beautifully into a full, rounded flower. In shape of bud and a half- open flower it very much resembles Souvenir de President Carnot, but is very much larger, color a glowing shell pink, very deep in the center; the fragrance is delicate and pleasing.

which it is a sport. Mermet, on account of its exquisite shape, large, solid, firm buds, with long, stiff stems, has long been considered one of the best cut flower varieties; its only

defect has been that in dark, cloudy weather

it becomes a washy dull color. Bridesmaid, at all seasons, is a clear, delicate pink, in all respects a counterpart of Mermet, with large handsome, pointed buds on long, stiff stems.

Catherine Mermet—(T)—Bright flesh color, with the same peculiar lustre possessed by La France. Large, full and beautiful. One ot the finest Teas.

Golden Gate—This is another grand new Rose of surpassing beauty. The buds and flowers are of beautiful form, extra large size, resemb- ling very much in shape and size that grand old variety, Niphetos. Ground color creamy- white, beautifully tinged with golden-yellow, and bordered with clear rose. :

Gruss An Teplitz—As a bedding Rose this is one of the finest and most useful varieties ever sent out. It will take rank with Hermosa or Soupert. The color is brightest scarlet, shading to deep, rich, velvety crimson. It is very fragrant. the freest grower and most profuse bloomer of any ever-bloomer. The mass of color produced is wonderful, and the foliage is extremely beautiful, all the younger growth being a bronzy plum color. A queen among scarlet bedders. It is a perfect sheet of richest crimson scarlet all summer. It will undoubtedly supersede Agrippina, Queen’s Scarlet and others of this class.

Helen Gould, or Balduin—Claimed by the intro- ducers of Helen Gould to bea different Rose from Balduin. While the identity of this Rose is in dispute, it has proved so satisfactory with us that we have planted it largely. This is probably the most beautiful and satisfactory Rose for general planting ever introduced in America. It has proved itself to be the strongest-growing, freest-blooming, largest- flowering and hardiest Rose in existence. It is a better Rose for general planting than American Beauty—the dream and hope of every Rose grower for years past. The flow- ers are full and perfectly double, the buds beautifully made, long and pointed. The ‘color is a warm, rosy crimson, like the color of aripe red watermelon. It is as hardy as La France, and one of the best, if not the very best, Roses for winter blooming.

INSECT PEST REMEDIES.

APPLE TREE APHIS.

Quassia Chips Solution. 8 pounds Quassia Chips. 7 pounds of Whale-oil Soap.

The Quassia Chips are boiled in about one gallon of water to each pound of chips for 5 hours. The soap is added while hot and allowed to dissolve. This solution is then diluted with 100 gallons of water. Use with sprayer, when warm.

WOOLY APHIS. 4 lbs. Resin. - 3 lbs. Sal Soda.

The following remedy is taken from the Secretary’s report, California State Board ot Horti- culture :

‘‘Four pounds of Resin, three pounds of sal soda, water to make four and one-half gallons; dissolve the sal soda in a few pints of water; when thorougly dissolved add the resin; heat until dissolved and add water finally. Use one and one-half pints of this solution to the gallon of water. Use at a temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit.’’

TENT CATERPILLAR.

3 Ibs. Whale-oil soap. 3 lbs. Sulphur. 1 Can Lye. t Gal. Kerosene.

The egg clusters must be sought for during winter months, when the trees being leafless, the eye will readily detect them, after being hatched out their nests are so conspicuous that there can be no excuse for neglecting to destroy them, and where any of these pests appeared last season thorough search must be made for these rings of eggs (which are generally found on the small branches) collecting and destroying by pouring boiling water on them or by burning them.

The following solution, if properly applied, will destroy the young larve :

Three pounds soap (whale-oil or good home made soap), three Ibs. sulphur, one can lye; boil one hour in four gallons water; add one gallon kerosene oil, boil slow twenty minutes, then add twenty-five gallons water; use with spray pump. Do not use copper kettle in preparing solution No. 1 and No. 2, but use kettle made of iron or some other metal.

WINTER SPRAY FOR SAN JOSE SCALE AND CURL LEAF.

Lime 50 lbs. Sulphur 50 lbs. Stock Salt 50 ibs.

This will make 150 gallons of wash. Use in fall as soon as leaves have dropped and again in early spring before the buds begin to swell.

Slack 50 lbs. of lime, then add the 50 Ibs. of sulphur, boil it over a brisk fire for one hour, then place all the salt with it in the boiler and boil for 15 minutes more, then add the necessary amount of water to make 150 gallons. This solution should be used at a temperature of at least 100 degrees. Before using, strain it. The utility of this wash depends a great deal upon the strength of the sulphur. It is, therefore, recommended that those who use this wash have a Beaumes scale for acid. When it shows 8 degrees when cold it is of proper strength. These scales can be obtained through any druggist.

FOR WOOLY APHIS AND SAN JOSE SCALE. Lime 100 lbs. Sulphur 100 lbs. Blue Vitriol 15 lbs.

Take 100 pounds of sulphur and put into a 4o-gallon kettle. Add about four gallons of water and stir until thoroughly mixed, then add about 20 gallons of water and start your fire under the kettle. Take 100 pounds of good fresh lime and slack it in a box, keeping the lime covered with water while it is slacking. Add this slowly to the sulphur. While boiling, stir all the while to prevent burning. Boil tour hours and finish about night. Dissolve 15 pounds blue vitriol in hot

water, which pour into the compound slowly. Keep boiling until it is smooth, then let it settle for about 15 minutes, after which pour intoa barrel and see that you have 30 gallons and no more. Cover your barrel up tight until morning, then open it and as it begins to cool, keep stirring to pre- vent a crust from forming. When cool no crust will form and it will keep any length of time.

For use.—Take 1 gallon of the compound to 19 gallons of water. Use about 8 gallons of boiling water to the 1 gallon of the compound, making up the difference in cold water. Never spray unless the bark on tree is dry.

-..SUMMER SPRAY FOR SAN JOSE SCALE OR GREEDY SCALE.

Water 2 gallons. Sulphur 1 pound. Concentrated Lye 1 pound. One-half gallon Fish oil. One-half gallon Kerosene.

For summer spraying : Take two gallons water, put into this one pound of sulphur, one pound concentrated lye; boil for two hours, then add one-half gallon fish-oil; boil until it makes a hard soap; add one-half gallon kerosene oil, stir well and boil a few minutes. Add to this twenty-five gallons cold water. For winter spraying double all the ingredients for the amount of water used. About 1 pound of whale-oil soap can be substituted for the fish-oil

D. M. Jessee, Washington State Pest Inspector, says he has tried this solution to his entire satisfaction, and is assured that it will destroy these insects more effectually than any other remedy he has used. Notice what is stated as to strength of summer and winter spraying.

PEAR AND CHERRY TREE SLUG.

London Purple or Paris Green r oz. Water 6 gallons.

The Oregon Bulletin recommends the following remedy : London Purple or Paris Green mixed with water in the proportion of one ounce to six gallons, and apply to the foliage with a syringe or spray pump, as promptly destroying this slug.

THE OYSTER SHELL BARK LOUSE.

__ Use the same solution as for San Jose Scale heretofore described, at intervals of 10 to 15 days from the roth of May to June roth, the same solution for winter.

CURRANT AND GOOSBERRY SLUG OR WORM.

Hellebore is the best of known remedies, and a perfectly effectual one. Properly applied no harm can possibly result from it. It should, according to Prof. Lintner, be used in the following manner: Early in the spring, as soon as the leaves of the currant have fully put forth, watch for the first indications of the hatching and commencement of the young larve. You have only to look for these on the lowest leaves of the bushes near the ground. The indications will be numerous small holes eaten into the leaves. Sprinkle powdered hellebore over these leaves, renewing it if washed away by rain, and the desired end is accomplished. If the hellebore remains upon the leaves during the time that larve are hatching, all will be killed and none will remain for subse- quent spreading over the leaves and for the, need of future attention. If the first brood of worms is thus destroyed, there will be few, if any, to form a second brood in June.

FOR POWDERY MILDEW OR OTHER FUNGICIDES. Bordeaux [lixture. Copper Sulphate 6 lbs. Fresh Lime 6 lbs. Water 45 gallons.

Dissolve the copper sulphate in a wooden or earthen vessel, using four or five gallons of which. water, if hot, will act quicker. In a separate vessel slack the lime and rub until all lumps are broken. Then stir and strain into the copper solution. Dilute and use as soon as possible. The mixture should not stand over twenty hours, as it tends to spoil. Where a good quality of lime is used, four pounds will satisfy six pounds of blue stone, but it is best to use plenty of lime as any free sulphate will burn the foliage. Four ounces of Paris green may be added to each 45 gallons of this liquid for all except the peach and other stoned fruits. For these use only two ounces. This makes the best and safest combined insecticide and fungicide for general use.

100 t ‘Oregon Nursery Company.

FOR CODLIN MOTH, CATERPILLAR AND SLUGS.

First application: Lime 2 Ibs. Later applications: Paris Green 4 ounces.

Water 40 gallons. Lime 1 pound. Water 50 gallons.

Slack the lime; make a paste of the Paris green, mix thoroughly, and then add water to make the required amount; stir thoroughly while using, and should be thrown on the leaves and fruit in a fine spray.

Or, use arsinite of soda spray when fruit has attained size of a hazelnut.

WOOLY APHIS.

Kerosene Emulsion (Government Formula.) Kerosene 2 gallons. Water x gallon. Hard Soap % pound.

Make a suds of the soap and water and pour boiling hot into the kerosene; churn with a force pump or a syringe, pumping put into a bucket or barrel through a nozzle until com- pletely emulsified. If the mixture is sufficiently hot it will thicken in 5 to 10 minutes, and will be, when cold, of the consistency of butter or soft soap. Dilute with 7 to 12 parts of water to one of emulsion, as occasion requires, and this will kill almost anything in the form of plant lice. Be careful in using not to burn the foliage.

ARSENITE OF SODA SPRAY. Commercial White Arsenic 2 lbs. Carbonate of Soda 4 lbs. Water 2 SiMhone.

Use one and one-half pints to 50 gallons of Bordeaux Mixture.

Dissolve 2 lbs. of commercial white arsenic and 4 lbs. carbonate of soda (Washing Soda) in two gallons of water, and use one and one-half pints to 50 gallons Bordeaux mixture. The easiest way to make the solution is to put both the arsenic and soda in a gallon of boiling water and keep boil- ing about 15 minutes,'or until a clear liquid is formed, then dilute to two gallons. If used without Bordeaux Mixture or lime, it is liable to burn the foliage.
