GREETING.

It is-gratifying to us and we take great pleasure in this opportunity to again thank our many patrons for their continued confidence during the past year. We solicit a careful examination of this, the twenty-second edition of our annual catalogue. To our customers, who for many years have planted.and advertised for us the excellence of our trees and plants, we tender our sincere thanks and assurance, that in the future the same care will be exercised in filling their orders satisfactorily. Our aim will be to improve still further every depart- ment of our business and merit a continuation of old re- lations, as well as to form new ones.

~ We do our very best to please our patrons, so that “‘once a customer’'- will remain ‘‘always a customer’’, and all orders, large or small, will have careful attention and be delivered in good condition. Mistakes,. if made, will be cheerfully adjusted.

The proof of our continued increasing success rests materially in the fact, that it has been our constant en- deavor to offer on!y those trees, plants and seeds which we feel will give entire satisfaction. Thus the planter recognizes the indisputable evidence of quality.

With kind regards and best wishes, I remain,

Very truly yours,

Fruit Trees

Apples Prices: Strong, 4 to6 feet, grafted on whole roots, 15 cerits; $10 per 100. Extra large selected trees and new varieties, 25 cents each, $2.50 per dozen, $20 per 100.

The apple is not very profitably grown in Southern and Western Texas. There are few varieties that grow, and only certain locali- ties where these succeed. The latter are in the mountainous regions of Texas and Mexico. The best results are obtained on heavy clay soil. Light or sandy soil must be manured before apples can suc- cessfully be grown on same. The apple we grow in our state has a very fine aromatic flavor, more so than that grown in the North, and people who think that their soil may be adapted to its culture should experiment with a few trees. Trees grown in the North should, however, never be planted; they will never prove a success.

The following is a collection of those that I have found worthy of planting in the South. |

Der Apfel it nicht jehr profitabel in Sitd- und Wejt-Teras und eg jind nur wenige Sorten, die gedeihen. Auf den Gebirgshohen und auf Land mit reichem Lehmboden bringt der Apfelbaum die reichiten Ernten. Sit der Boden leicht und jandig, jo jollte tiichtig gedüngt werden. Der Apfel, der in unjerem Stlinma gezogen wird, hat em jehr reiches Aroma und ijt al Tajel-Objt beliebt. Bäume, die aus dem Norden ftammen, jollten niemals gepflanzt werden, da jie nie gedeihen.

New Apples

Switzerland. his new Swiss apple has been brought over from Switzerland by an old German, who planted the tree beiow San Antonio, Texas, where the first tree fruited the second year after transplanting ‚in 1899. ~ Since first bearing, it matured a fine crop of apples annually, and this vear the tree had severai bushels. The apples are greenish, with red stripes, making a fine market variety; of a fine flavor and good keeping qualities; the tree is rather dwarf, with very large green leaves, is therefore very hardy and just the right apple.for our country. We offer one-year-old trees from grafts cut from the original tree. Trees 4 to 5 feet, 50 cents.

Heidemeyer. Imported about 1850 from Stuttgart, Germany. Round- ish, conical, color goldén yellow, flesh yellowish, juicy, aromatic, rich quality, very good to best. Season- August, bears heavy crop every year; is one of the best apples for Southwest Texas. One vear old, 15 cents; 2 years old, 25 ceuts.

Stringstown. This new Australian apple has been fruiting here for five years, is a fine, large, round summer apple, highly colored to the sunny side, of good quality; the trees hear young and are very good growers, having fruited in nursery the first year; ripens end of July. Trees two years old, 6 to 8 feeı, 50 cents each.

Peter. Another good new apple, size medium, color red, very productive and of the very best quality. Ripens end of July. 4t05 feet, 35 cents.

Trees 4 to 5 feet, 35 cents.

Pears In order of ripening. ‘Two-year-old trees, 25 cents each; $2.50 per dozen, $20 per 100. -Extra large and new varieties, 6 to 7 feet, 50 cents.

The pear is the most profitable fruit we know of. After a tree has once begun to bear, it will bear regularly every year. The tree is very long-lived if it has a favorable locality, where it can: send its roots deep into the ground for.a supply of moisture; for this reason pear trees should only be planted where the subsoil is rich and deep.

The soil most adapted to pear culture is rich loam, which contains a good supply of humus. Sandy soil with clay subsoil is also good if well manured. Pear trees should, however, never be planted on soil where roots of cotton and potatoes rot, as such soil has the same eo upon pear trees. The following are the best varieties: :

Die Wurzel des Birnbaummes geht tief in das Erdreich hinein und dont, wo quter, tiefer Untergrund it und Die Wurzel genügend Feuchtigkeit findet, erreicht der Baum ' ein hohes Alter und bringt fichere, reiche Srnten.

Summer Beauty. First raised in 1873, and introduced in 1893 by us. This pear is the finest fruit and the surest bearer of all varie- ties that ever have been tested so far south. The trees have not failed to produce heavy crops every year since 1880. Itis a vigorous, symmetrical grower,and late bloomer, so that spring frosts will not injure it. The fruit is very large and handsome, of yellow color with a bright red cheek, flavor sweet, sugary, rich, aromatic and pleasant, excellent quality, always grows in clusters of from three to five.

Katy. New. This tree ea with Mr. J. F. Leyendecker, Frels- burg, Texas, and is about ten years old, 15 feet high, and has produced regular crops ever since it began to. bear, six years ago. It has neither been pruned nor cultivated since it was two years old. It is evidently

chance seedling of LeConte, and has been so declared by the Depart- ment of Agriculture at Washington, D.C. It resists blight as well as Kieffer. My young trees are as. thrifty and vigorous growers as Le Conte; ‚leaves are a little smaller and more pointed. Fruit reseurbles LeConte in size, shape and color; in quality it is-ımore acid or vinous, but very juicy, and comes in just MES | ‚after Le@onte. Price, 50 cents each.

original tree has not failed te bear a good crop since it first began in 1894. Pecan trees are becoming more popular every year, as they are found to succeed on all deep soil, even in black prairie iand. It makes a fine cool shade, is long- lived and has a hard wood; therefore does not break as easily as most all other shade tre eo. = One budded tree on your place will improve your property a hundred dollars; therefore make the good investment and plant, one or two trees of the ‘“‘Daisy”’’ pecan every year. We offer budded and graf- ted trees of this wonderful nut at the lows;prices: 3 to 4 feet, branched, $1.50; per dozen $15.00; ı 2 feet, straight, $1.00; per dozen, $r0.00. Our trees have the full ie and will grow.

Money-Maker. Described by introducer as being of vigorous growth. Comes into bearing very early from buds or grafts: ripens its whole crop a month ahead of the main crop and bears more pecans than any other variety we have ever tried. The original tree has borne ten good crops in eleven years. The nut is large, round in shape and well filled. The meat is of good quality and comes out whole. At thirteen years old the original tree brought the owner a revenue of $45.co.

Pan-American. Size medium to large; oblong, ovoid; shell thick; partitions thin; quality good; best keeper; meat can be taken out whole. Price, 2 to 3 feet trees, $1.25 each.

The shell, which is little else than a film protecting the kernel, is easily pulled off with the tumb nati, leaving whole, clean meats of best quality. The introducer claims that the tree is a regular bearer and that three pounds of nuts give almost two pounds of meat, while with the common varieties it is almost the reverse. |

The almond succeeds in Western Texas, Arizona, New and Old Mexico and California, where irrigation is practicable. As the tree blooms very early, the crops are often destroyed by late frosts.

Sultana. Large kernels, soft shells. Tree is strong, upright grower and it 1s one of the best. 25 cents each, $2.00 per dozen.

Apricots In order of ripening; 25 cents each; 42.50 per dozen.

The apricot is one of those fruits that do fairly well on limestone soil; a-rich, heavy soil, however, is preferred. As the apricot blooms early, it should not be planted extensively in localities visited by late frosts. The fruit is much beloved for its rich and aromatic flavor, and the apricot should be represented by a few trees, at least, in every garden. The culture is about the same as that of the neach.

Cherries 35 cents each; $3.50 per dozen.

The cherry succeeds well on the elevated plateaus of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California and Mexico. We should, however, not recommend its planting in the lowlands. ‘The following varieties have proved the most successful in the South.

| _ Peaches ‘In order of ripening. 4 to 6 feet, 15 cents each; $10 per 10c, except where noted. Extra large, 25 cents each; $2.50 per dozen.

The peach is probably more extensively culivated in our country than any other fruit, and it well deserves its popularity among the American people, as there is nothing that excels a luscious, red-ripe peach, There has, however, been much complaint of late. that the finer varieties do not bear enough i in Texas. People attribute this to the drouht, yet the failure in most cases is due to the ignorance of the people. The traveling tree agents from other states introduce new varieties every year that are in most cases not at all adapted to our climate. Therefore, never buy a tree unless you know that it is grown by a reliable nurseryman in your own State. West Texas is a dry country, but nevertheless good peaches can be raised, and plenty of them, provided the proper varieties are planted.

The peach succeeds in almost any soil, but it prefers sand soil with red clay. subsoil to any other. The following varieties are all thoroughly tested by me, and I consider them the best collection that can be made for our climate. They are selected from 400 differ- ent varieties, and, as each variety has a ripening period of from ten to fifteen days, peaches may be had at all time from the middle of May until November. I have arranged them in order of ripening for the convenience of the buyer.

June Budded Peaches. We have a large stock of June budded peach trees on hand, at the low price of 10 cents each or $7.00 per hundred.

They are fast growers and can easily be grown into shapely trees. As such stock is very light, the transportation charges are very low.

Plums In order of ripening. 4 to 6 feet, 20 cents each; $2.25 per - dozen; $18 per 100.

There is no fruit tree that bears such an abundance of fruit at so _ early an age as does the plum. Many varieties bear the first year after planting, and for this single reason should be most extensively planted. A plum tree requires very little care, but for the fact that it produces its fruit in such great abundance the tree does not live very long, and new trees ought to be planted every year to always have an abundance of this useful fruit. The American or Chickasaw varieties are mostly used for preserves and jellies, while the Japanese varieties are for the table. | RR

Rich loam with gravel subsoil is the best ‘soil for plum culture, while sandy soil is almost as good if manured. |

(Diospyros Kakı.) . A fruit from the Orient that has come to stay. The growing of this fruit. in the South, both for the market and home consumption, is no longer.an experiment. It has proven itself adapted to the whole cotton belt, and is becoming quite popular on the northern fruit markets.

Trees on the native persimmon will grow on any soil in the South, but are not long-lived in wet, low places; high, well-drained, sandy soil suits them best, and they will do better on very poor land than any other kind of fruit tree. ‘They are especially suited for planting in old peach orchards, as the old peach trees become worthless, or to replant the land after a peach orchard kas been destroyed.

Fruit should be shipped just before it begins to soften, and direc- tions how to eat it should be printed on wraps to be used with each fruit, and dealers instructed to display only ripe fruit.

Pomegranates

The pomegranate seems to have been created especially for our dry climate. It succeeds in any soil and bears regularly an abundance of the most refreshing fruit. ;

Little -trouble is required for its culture. It is always free from all diseases, and grows in any deserted corner of the garden where no other fruit succeeds. The fruit is very sweet and refreshing, and ripens during August and September.

Old Favorite. Is the best of all the fruiting pomegranates. I call it Old Favorite because it has been grown here at New Braunfels for at least fifty years, and it has been proven to be far superior to all the other fruiting kinds which were introduced later.

Guadaloupe. For several vears I have been gathering and culitva- ting our wild native dewberries, and find among them some very valuable berries. Guadaloupe is one of my collection and the best of them. It cannot be surpassed by any berry in productiveness and extreme earliness. The berries are large, oblong, sweet and of the darkest color when fully ripe. They are very snowy, and as thev ripen early, they are very saleable and bring the best price. (his is without doubt the biggest money-maker in small fruits. I picked two gallons from a two-year-old bush and find ready sale at 10 cents per quart. The plant is very vigorous and makes long canes, spreads

rapidly and makes many new runners for transplanting. Price, 15 cents each, $1.50 per dozen.

Its shippnig qualities are far ahead of any dew or black- berry in cultivation. After each crop of dewberries the oid vines may be pulled or cut out and burned. An application of fertilizer, barnyard or commercial, in the fall or winter, will cause the vines to produce larger berries and a heavier crop. Price so cents per dozen, $2.50 per hundred.

White Dewberry. Ripe 14 days before Mayes, a good, sweet berry. 59 cents per dozen.

Of all the flowers which man has taken into his care, the rose has reached the highest degree. of popularity. She is the queen of flowers, the flower of the poets, and will always be the dearest of flowers to the lovers of the beautiful. : |

While wild roses are met with in almost every countrv, the cultiva- tion of the rose began probably at the same time when the cultivation of man began, and with the cultivation of man that of the rose has kept pace, being now at the same height of development as is humanity. — eh |

Of the many thousands of varieties which have for centuries been introduced by the hybridizers, those of each succeeding century show a marked improvement over those of the foregoing. Of the roses which . were considered the best only a century ago, very few are grown to-day.

Many hundreds of different varieties have been tried on our grounds, and of ail only such are described in the following list which, in our judgment, are the very best for outdoor planting.

Fortunately we live in a climate where even the tender roses stand the winter without cover, and any of the roses in this catalogue may be planted outdoors.

Plant your roses in an open place; never try to grow roses in the shade of trees. The plants you receive from us are grown by the latest methods of cultivation, which we practice together with a means of accumulating power and strength in the young plants, and which is just the opposite from forcing roses in greenhouses for bloom. Do not set out your roses the way you get them, but trim off at least one-half of the wood. Slow-growing sorts should be trimmed more severely-than the quick-growing varieties. |

FOR THOSE WHO IRRIGATE

Those who irrigate should plant fruit trees extensively. Not alone the fruit crop can be saved by irrigating the trees at the right time, but the fruit will also develop better, and is therefore more saleable and brings the best price. |

As we are aware, most failures in fruit growing are due to long droughts in early spring and summer, and by supplying the trees with the necessary water at the right time the best results are ob- tained. Irrigators can successfully plant 2 to 3-year-old trees and thus save several years’ growing. If fruit is grown for market it is advisable not to plant too many varieties, but as many of the most productive ones as possible.

Below I describe a few insecticides for destroying insects, rots, San Jose scale and all contagious diseases. I have been using these insecticides for many years, and can cheerfully recommend them to all of my customers who have had trouble in their orchards and farms by insects and plant diseases.

Birds are getting less and less every vear and insects more and more, and it has become necessary to destroy them by spraying.

The price for insecticides is f. 0. b. New Braunfels, Texas, and is just what they cost us.
