Introduction
Introductory to this my 20th Annual Catalogue and price list I wish to say to the many customers that have patronized the Home Nursery the past twenty years some of whom have been yearly cus- tomers since we began growing trees for the market, that we are better able than ever to furnish stock that is well grown and absolutely true to label.
It is the mst vital importance to the planter that he gets such kind as he orders, there being no way to tell to a certainty until trees come into bearing four or six years later. Those who have bought of parties of no established reputation or of irresponsible traveling agents will appreciate stock that is alive and true to label.
To those unacquainted with my method of doing business, would say we employ no agents, but sell direct to the planter, thus doing away with the mid- dle man’s profit. I give my personal attention to every important detail of the business thereby insur- ing to my customers entire satisfaction. We have endeavored to make this work more than a mere catalogue by giving valuable instructions as to best varieties and cultured directions.
APPLES—With an experience covering over twenty years in propagating and growing apples tor the market and home use we are in position to advise what varieties are best to plant in this particular region, having made the study of orcharding a specialty. What varieties we have to offer are of the very best and when the selection is left to me, will guarantee satisfaction.
PEACHES—We are propagating in large quanti- ties and can supply in the best early and late lead- ing varieties. Having large plantings of bearing trees to take buds from in propagating, we are able to insure trees true to name as we know just what we are growing.
SMALL FRUIT—We have a little over thirty acres devoted to the growing of small fruits for the market, this being an important branch of our busi- mess. Have tested all the leading old varieties and promising newer sorts and are propagating only the best.
EVERGREENS—tThese we have been growing for the market for twenty-flve years and make a spec- ialty of vairieties suitable for wind-breaks or shelter belts, such as Arbor Vite, Spruce and Pines, which we have in large quantities and at very low prices.
Remember that when you buy trees of us you get them at first-hands, fresh dug properly labeled and carefully packed and if everything isn’t O. K., you know where to find us.

Where the selection of varieties is left to me, will give the very best assortment. Order early while list is complete.
In this latitude apples have the best color and flavor as well as the longest keeping qualities. A great many planters have been discouraged in growing apples from having planted undesirable kinds or va- rieties that were not suited or adapted to this section of the country.
The farmer that plants one or more acres to or- chard does not give up the use of that much ground as he can raise almost as much of any of the farm vu1 garden crops as he could if the trees were not there, at least until the trees come into bearing after which the orchard will afford considerable pasture.

Pear ‘Trees
Note—There used to be an old saying that “he who plants Pears, plants for his heirs.”” The old varie- ties of Pears planted as standards required from ten to fifteen years to come into bearing. However now we have kinds that bear quite young, some even showing fruit in the nursery row, and bear abundant- ly two and three years after planting. Our list of sorts are only a few, but are most satisfactory for this particular region.

Cherry Trees
Two years old, first class, 5 to 6 feet, each, 40c; per 10, $3.50.
NotE—On account of its ripening early in June, the Cherry is one of the most popular tree fruits. The trees come into bearing soon after planting and bear annually, a very few trees producing all an ordinary family could use. The Early Richmond, still takes the lead and is a most valuable variety. An early and constant bearer. No one need be without this most excellent early fruit.
Dyehouse—A very early and sure bearer; ripens a week before early Richmond; very productive, color red.

First class, 5 to 7 feet. Each 25c; per 10, $2.00; per 100, $18.00; per 1,000 $100.00
NoteE—The Peach is perhaps the most lucious trun fresh from the tree and when canned retains its original flavor, making it one of the most desirable fruits. Some are discouraged in planting, owing to its being often killed in the bud by warm spell in the winter followed by low temperature. However we do not always have these conditions. The trees are easily grown and come into bearing immediately. Plant the trees and be sure of a crop when it comes.

The Grape is the most wholesome of all fruits, and the most highly esteemed for its many uses. No part of the fruit garden yields a richer harvest than the vineyard. It can be grown by every one who has a garden, yard or a wall. It can be confined to a stake, bound to a trellis, trained over an arbor or ex- tended until it covers a large tree or building and still it yields its graceful bunches of lucious bloom-

Gooseberries and Currants
Like all other small fruits these need a rich soil to get best results. The worms that eat the foliage can be killed by sprinkling bushes with water to which Paris Green has been added at the rate of a teaspoonful to ten quarts of water. This should be done as soon as bushes leaf out and again in two weeks.
Some use powdered Hellebore, which is just as ef- fective. The Gooseberry and Currants are the first fruits that can be used and in fact are the first fruits of the season. They can be gathered fresh trom May until late in August. This is a fruit that will thrive anywhere and is valuable for pies, jellies, jams, and preserves.
Blackberries
If you want low, stocky bushes that will produce large berries, pinch the ends of the canes when they get two and a half to three feet high, and following spring cut the side branches back to eighteen inches in length. Cut out all suckers or sprouts that come up between the rows.
Snyder—Well known, valuable, early variety.
Per 10, 25c; per 100, $2.00.
Erie—Vigorous grower, large berry. Per 10, 50c; per 100, $3.00.

Palmer (Black Cap)—Very early, extra hardy, heavy bearer. Per 10, 30c; per 100, $2.50; per 1,000, $12.00.
Cumberiand—A mammoth midseason black- cap that loads its stout, stocky canes with handsome fruit. Its great glossy berries outsell all others of their season, are firm enough to ship well, and of good quality. In hardiness and productiveness, among the best. Per 10, 50c; per 100, $3.50.
Columbian—This variety ranks very near the top for amazing productiveness, vigor and the quality of its very large, dark red fruits. It is an improvement on Shaffer in color and firmness of berry, while retain- ing its delicious flavor. The bush is very hardy and grows to such great size that it requires extra room. Unexcelled for market and all culinary uses. Per lu, (363 joer WOO, SH,

NotE—The Raspberry being a native fruit and found growing wild along the edge of woods and in hedges as well as various other places, grows to per- fection when given proper culture and training. In fact there is no native fruit that will give quicker or larger returns for the amount of time spent on it. We have over ten acres devoted to Raspberries and have been growing this excellent fruit for the market during the past 20 years and over. The above varieties are the best out of a long list that we have tested on our grounds. For a succession of fruit plant both early and late varieties.
Strawberries
First class plants. Per 10, 25c; per 100, $1.00; per 1,000, $8.00.
The following varieties will be found to be the best. Have made a specialty of strawberry culture for a number of years, and grow only the kinds we know to be good. When the selection of varieties is lert to me, will give good assortment.
Male Varieties. Female Varieties. Dunlap. Bubach., Wm. Belt. Sample. Brandywine. Haverland. Gandy. Lady Thompson. Rough Rider. Enormous. Bederwood. Parker Earle.
By planting both early and late varieties you can have fresh strawberries from four to five weeks in succession. They produce the most per acre and do it in less time after planting than any other fruit.
Notrz—Have given no description of strawberries, as they are all good. While one variety may produce better than another one year, it may not the next. Hence there is no one variety that is the best every year.
Owing to the variableness of the pollen, it is a good rule to plant a number of kinds in one plantation. Also set early and late varieties to give a succession of fruit. In growing the plants we keep each varie- ty properly labeled, so that our plants are true to name. They are grown on very strong land; are not to be compared with the small, sickly plants grown on sand and offered at a low price.

What Depth to Plant
Trees should not be planted but very little deeper than they stood in the nursery row. Enough to allow for settling of soil. Roots too deep do not get warmth enourn to in- duce early growth. Bear in mind always in planting roots of any kind that they need soil in ciose contact with them in order to draw nourishment.
