This accounts for nearly all our articles bearing a lower price than are quoted by other firms; you save that excessive commission paid to that agent; get your goods in a box or bale with the roots and_ tops carefully wrapped in straw and moss, and they are protected perfectly, so no matter how far you live from
the R. R. station, your goods are not opened nor ex- posed to sun and wind, but the whole package is de- livered at the orchard thoroughly protected. This means you have “started right’ in beautifying your home surroundings.

third of the amount must be sent with the order, and balance paid to the express agent when the goods are received by the purchaser.

Directions for Transplanting, Care of Stock, Etc.
Care of Stock on Arrival—Upon arrival of package, sun, take off the cover and thoroughly wet down with water and allow it to stand twelve hours or over night before removing. the stock. (Excepting Raspberry tips and Strawberry plants, which should be at once heeled in soil.) Then make ready a trench fourteen inches deep and as soon as stock is removed from the ‘package, heel it in this trench, giving the roots plenty of mellow soil, well pressed down with the feet. moisten it with water after heeling in; the trees are then ready for planting and should only be taken out as need- ed. If frozen, no water should be applied, but they should at once be buried in earth until all frost is out, and they will not be injured.
box or
‘Soil—Should be high and well drained, either natural or artificial, by means of tile drainage. Low land, continually saturated with water will not do. Tt must be deeply plowed and in perfect condition. Never plant fruit trees in sod. The land should be in as good condition as for a crop of wheat or potatoes. If any crops are grown in the young orchard let it always be a hoed crop and plant nothing nearer than four feet each side of the tree. If you want trees to grow well, be vigorous and strong, you must give them plenty of food and good cultivation until August 1st, when all cul- tivation should cease, to allow new wood to thoroughly ripen up before cold weather, which it will not do if kept growing by cultivation after that date.
Pruning.—Is most important. In digging, more or less roots are lost of necessity. The top then must be cut back to even up for loss of roots. Leave only four or five branches and cut these back to four or five buds. Peaches are best trimmed to a whip and cut back to not more than two or three feet high. Remove all the broken roots and branches and with a sharp knife cut the ends of the roots back to clean, healthy wood. This helps to start root growth. Fibres occupy the relation to the roots that leaves do to the branches, they die and are succeeded by another lot yearly, and are of no more value to the roots than dead leaves would be to the branches. Hence you want plenty of large and small hard and clean roots, and the less fibres the better.
Planting—Make holes plenty large, so as not to crowd
the roots. Use surface for filling in, and plant as firm as possible, pressing soil well down with tne feet. See that roots are well’ spread out and soil firmly around them—don’t hurry the job, do it
well, and success is certain. After planting, each tree
place it in a shed, barn or cellar away from -

should be well mulched for two or three feet out with coarse manure. This prevents drying and is better than
watering. The trees should not be long exposed to sun and air. Never put any manure in the holes with the roots. It causes decay. :
NO. OF PLANTS PER ACRE AT GIVEN DISTANCES.
To ascertain the number of plants required for an acre at any given distance, divide 43,560 (the number of sq. ft. in an acre) by the distance between the plants in the rows multiplied by the distance between the rows.
EXAMPLE: Plants set in rows 4 ft. apart with the plants 2 ft. apart in the rows, gives each plant 8 sq. ft.; 43,560 divided by 8 gives 5,445 plants per acre.

branched tree is more satisfactory, because it is more showy, but it will not come into bearing any quicker than

DWARF PEARS.
W. H. Green, in the Rural New Yorker, December 29, 1894, says his Dwarf Duchess Pears paid him more than twelve times as much as his apples, and there was more money in pears at $1.00 per barrel than apples at $2.00.
Cultivation—Plant deep, with juncture of bud ané@ stock fully six inches below the surface. Every year the new growth must be cut back one-third and keep the top of tree open. Pinching top buds in the summer will pro- duce fruit buds. Let them branch close to the ground, keep clean until well established. Plant 15 feet apart

Peaches with proper care can be grown without difficulty in many states where they are not raised at all, or
on the most limited scale.
In the Central West, in such states as Kansas and Nebraska, peaches grow that can-
not be surpassed in quality anywhere, and more of them should be grown.
We have several sorts that:-in our hands, and in the hands of our customers,
have proved to be as hardy as
apples like the Ben Davis, and for several years borne full crops.
But a knowledge of the peach’s requirements is necessary in order to get the best results. well-drained, moderately rich soil; warm, sandy loam is probably the best. Give the ground an occasional dressing of wood ashes or
and you will have healthy, vigorous, productive trees.

The market for plums as for all good fruits, is constantly growing. There is rarely a glut in the market for the |
best of anything.
The care of plums is better understood than formerly.
Plums can be easily protected. against the attacks
of the Curculio by proper care, and remember that without care you cannot succeed with any kind of fruit, and
will not deserve success.
For the Curculio, treat as follows:
Immediately after the tree has done blossoming, and
the fruit is in the first stages of growth, make the ground clean and smooth under each tree and spread a sheet upon it so that it will extend as far as the outside edge of the outer branches, and then suddenly jar the tree, so
as to shake down all the stung fruit and insects, which should be destroyed. for a short time it will insure a full crop of this delicious fruit, it. It is very important that this should be done early in the morning.
If this operation be carried on daily and will well repay the little daily attention given The cost of protecting large orchards
-from the attacks of this enemy will not exceed ten cents per-tree for the entire season.

Grapes
Every kind of good fruit has its uses in adding to the health, pleasure and prosperity of the human race: but it would not be wrong to say that with the possible exception of apples, and many would make no exception at all, grapes have the first place. They are delightful to the taste of nearly everyone, and no article of food is ‘more wholesome. There are a few people who eat them sparingly, or not at all, on account of fear of appendi- citis from the grape seeds. Appendicitis from this cause is like the oid ‘‘milk sickness,’’ it is always in the next county. We do not say that grape seeds may not produce this difficulty, but a prominent New York surgeon, who has operated on a great many cases of appendicitis, said he had never seen a case resulting from grape seeds, and had never known of a case well authenticated.
Grapes may be grown over the greater part of the United States with excellent results. And they can be grown almost anywhere. There is scarcely a yard in the city or country that from one to a dozen or more grape vines cannot be planted. They are not choice about the place they shall grow, as they will grow up the side of a building or along the garden fence, requiring little care, and will ornament the place and give profit and pleasure.
Make the soil mellow and plant the vines six or eight inches deep. Plant about six feet apart. For a vine- yard, make the rows eight feet apart, vines six feet apart in rows.
Like all our products, our grapes are of the best quality. All vines shipped are heavily rooted, thrifty, and selected with great care.

VARIETIES.
Bederwcod—By some considered the best early berry; immensely large, healthy grower; plant hardy; fruit large, bright red, fine quality. For near market and home use this is a very satisfactory and profitable variety. A valuable fertilizer, especially for Warfield. Perfect.
Bubach—An old reliable variety that has been under eultivation for many years. Fruit large and handsome, roundish-conical, bright scarlet. moderately firm and of fair quality. Plant a strong grower, with large, healthy foliage and very productive. Succeeds on either light or heavy soil. Desirable for home use and nearby market. Season early to medium. Imperfect.
Crescent—Perhaps the most popular of all. Plants strong, hardy and very productive; fruit extremely large, dark red, fine flavor. A splendid market variety. Im- perfect.
Gandy—A good late varietv; berries light red and of even form and size, large and firm; plants are healthy and vigorous grower. Perfect.
Warfield—One of the best varieties, if not the best. Rivals already by popular favor and in general qualities the Crescent, which it is likely to supersede. It equals Crescent in yield and surpasses it in size, beauty and firm- ness. The plant is a vigorous grower of bright, healthy foliage. The fruit is large, dark red; excellent for ship- ping. Bederwood is a fine fertilizer for this plant. Im- perfect.
Senator Dunlap—A well-tested, wonderfully productive variety, one of the safe sorts to plant everywhere and sure to take a high place among the prominent standard sorts. Plant resembles Warfield, rampant runner, should be restricted in its production of plants, fully equal to Crescent and Warfield in its ability to succeed under all
circumstances. Fruit good size, regular form, beautiful brignt

eanning; ripens early and con- tinues a long time. It prom- ises to stand at the head in its wonderful ability to ripen a good crop under almost any condition of drouth or neglect. Perfect.
“Have tried a number cf varieties of strawberries, kut have found none that yields like the Dunlap. The ‘ew York is an enormous’ berry and of fine flavor. Brandy- wine yields well, but is not liked by customers on ace - count of the large core that pulls out when the berries are capped; a little rain spoils this variety on the vine, too. The Climax is a good berry for size and firmness, but is a little too acid for me.’’—Fruit-Grower.
Wilson’s Albany—One of the best fertilizing plants known. Fruit heavy; berries perfect; good shipper; plants bright and clean; no rust. Perfect.

Catalpa Speciosa
A Block of Catalpa Speciosa
Catalpa Speciosa Grove *
The demand for the Ca- talpa Speciosa has almost swamped the growers. We find that it is impossible to grow enough to meet the eastern wholesale demand, but we always keep enough for our catalogue trade.
The value of the Speciosa wood has become very well Known in the last few years. Extensive experiments by the government, individuals and railroad companies have proven conclusively .that it has an enormous value. The average value today of aCa- talpa Speciosa plantation is from $600.00 to $800.00 per
acre. It will be worth in- finitely more in fifteen or twenty years from now. All interested in this subject should get the full report made by the United States Government, Department of Agriculture.

Deciduous Ornamental Weeping Trees
Kilmarnock Weeping fillow—This is a top-grafted tree and forms a very shapely head with glossy foliage, but it is not entirely hardy for the northwest, and would advise plantgng other varieties. Hach, 75c.
Birch (Cut-Leaved Weeping)—This we consider the most graceful and beautiful tree on the list of ornamen- tal trees. It is perfectly hardy, grows tall and slender, with small, graceful, willowy branches. The trunk of the tree as it comes from the nursery is brown, but in two or three years it becomes a pure white, giving it a very attractive appearance. 6 to 6 feet. Each, $1.00
Teas’ Weeping Mulberry—tThis tree stands at the head of all the top-grafted weeping trees for beauty. It forms an umbrella shape and the long slender willowy branches sway to the wind. It will stand through all
seasons and continue to be a most beautiful tree for the lawn or cemetery. 5 to 6 feet. Hach, $1.00.
Wisconsin Willow—This tree is more cheaply grown than the other described weeping trees, but when care is given in the heading back after being planted out, it can be very easily trained to be a very beautiful tree. - It is perfectly hardy. 5 to 6 feet. 25c each.
Camperdown Weeping Elm—Its vigorous branches, which have a uniform habit, overlap so regularly that a compact, roof-like head is formed. Leaves are large, glossy dark green. A strong vigorous grower. One of the best weeping trees. Hardy. $1.00 each..
Weeping Mountain Ash—A beautiful tree with strag- gling, weeping branches, making a fine tree for the lawn, suitable for covering arbors. Foliage and berries like the Mountain Ash. Hardy. $1.00 each.
Deciduous Upright Ornamental Trees
DECIDUOUS UPRIGHT ORNAMENTAL TREES.
We grow many varieties of ornamental and shade trees that are not listed on account of lack of space.
The varieties priced below are all standard trees, and will give you satisfaction. If you want something larger in price than those listed below, write for our price, pur- chaser paying the freight.
Trees do not give pleasure merely; they may be reck-
oned as one of the absolute necessities to an advanced civilization. The absence of all trees would mean ruin to our country. It is an encouraging sign that there is such a growing interest in tree cultivation. He who sets out a good tree is a public benefactor, and no good tree should be cut down without some good cause. Trees will in the future, more than now, add very greatly ta the money value of a farm or town lot

When the other trees attain the same size the poplars can be removed. The leaves are large, handsome, deep green. The tree has a pyramidal form, making a spreaing head and dense shade when properly trimmed.

The Dahlia is one of our most beautiful plants and is the most neglected. It is undoubtedly caused by the in- ferior grade of bulbs that have been scattered around the eountry. We have been raising Dahlias successfully for several years and this year we are able to introduce some
+ wonderful new varieties, which we hope will take the Ww Mf place of the. small common pompon. A glance at the .
illustrations will show what.has been accomplished. The Gladioli Dahlia is the easiest to care for of all summer bulbs.

ne , Roses
Cultural Directions—In selecting a spot for a rose bed, do not choose one where the bushes will be shaded by trees or buildings. Sunlight is the very life of the rose. Roses are very partial to a clay loam soil, but will do well in any ordinary soil if well enriched with weli- rotted barnyard manure. In preparing the bed, dig it up thoroughly to the depth of twelve or fifteen inches, as rose roots penetrate deep when they have a chance. In forming the beds, do not elevate them above the level of the ground surrounding, as they will suffer less from drought. After the plants have been set out, keep the soil loose to the depth of an inch or two by frequent stirrings. An occasional soaking with weak manure water is a great help to them.

HYBRID TEA AND TEA ROSES
Half Hardy.
The Roses included in this section are valued especially for their free and continuous blooming qualities, which render them particularly useful to plant in beds and groups for the ornamentation of the lawn or-to grow in the garden for a supply of cut flowers for decorative pur- poses.
The collection embraces. several of the choicest Roses which can be recommended in the strongest terms to planters with the suggestion that they require better winter protection than do the Hybrid Perpetuals. The plants need to be well banked up with earth and covered with straw or evergreen boughs, while those planted in beds should also be protected with boards to keep off wet and moisture.
The extra care devoted to the Roses in this class will be amply repaid in the satisfactory flowers produced abundantly and continuously during the summer.
