PREFACE
I am a candidate for a part of your patronage. If I please you tell your Sey ee if not tell me, and I will try my best to satisfy you.
The Supply of Plants this season is very short, owing to the three extremely Eat spells, followed by very dry weather, the one about August being over a month in duration. My supply of many varieties of plants is short and for that reason I would advise ordering now, before the stock is broken.
Prices Are Higher Than Usual this year, but by comparison you will find they are lower than most Nurserymen quote the same varieties for, and are not too high for the season, and if you and some of your neighbors will club together the discount will be an item worth saving.
Quality of My Plants are as good as can be grown in a commercial way. They are all growing upon new virgin prairie soil, that has never grown fruit plants before. I was very careful in my selection of plants to propigate, and can assure my customers that they wili get well rooted, vigorous, healthy plants that are free from disease that are often © found in old beds and fields.
My Collection of both berry and flower plants contains the best known varieties, and are guaranteed to be true to name, good strong, healthy plants, freshly dug, and carefully packed.
Shipping.—My plants will be shipped or delivered as early as the ood is in condition to dig them; which often is the first part of March. If desired at any other time please name the time, when_ ordering.
Peonies should be planted in the fall. Iris and Hardy Phlox either spring or fall. Karly spring is best for all berry plants. May is best for Dahlias and Cannas.
Reference —See testimonials as to my reliability and as to the kind of fruit my plants produce:
We have purchased berries from Mr. Lux the past season and have found his varieties to be of the best. WILLIAN GREEN & SON.
I am acquainted with the varieties of Cannas, Dahlias, Peonies and Phlox grown by W. L. Lux, having at one time or another grown practically all of them, and can vouch
for them as good standard varieties and novelties of real merit. Very truly, W. A. HARSHBARGER.
We bought blackberries and Haymaker raspberries that were grown by W. L. Lux that were as good as the best on the Topeka market. I can say that the Haymaker raspberries held up longer after picked than any raspberry that I ever et I paid Lux $3 and $4 a crate on them. |

TRANSPORTATION
Located near Topeka, I have the advantage of five railroads and three Express Com- panies and two Rural Mail Routes. R.D. No. 7 reaches me in the morning and the carrie: of R. D. No. 8 in the evening. Orders received by mail can usually be filled and mailed the same day they are received. No charge for packing or delivery to any Railroad or Express office.
Mail Orders receive careful attention and are promptly filled, and prepaid.
Freight.—This is the usual way of sending plants of any considerable quantity. They are carefully packed and are nearly sure to reach you in prime condition, but are shipped at owner’s risk.
Express.—This is the best way when only a small amount is ordered at once. I guar- antee safe arrival by express or mail.
Terms.—Cash, or one-fourth in cash, and the balance before shipment is made. Please do not send personal checks but P. O. money orders, drafts or stamps.
Special Offers for orders received before March lst accompanied by full payment in cash:
On all orders amounting to $5 or more 71% per cent discount. On all orders amounting to $15 or more 10 per cent discount. Discount payable in plants of your selection.
Send Names of five or more fruit growers or flower lovers who are likely to buy plants and I will send you a fine collection of flower plants of my selection. An order for plants must accompany the list of names.
Rate six of a‘ kind at the dozen rates; 50 at 100; and 250 at 1,000 rate.
Order Early.—I do not send berry plants after May 15th until October Ist, unless by — special agreement; as nine times out of ten they will prove a failure, and a dissatisfied cus- tomer will be the result.
STRAWBERRIES
The past three seasons were very unfavorable to the strawberry growers on account of the unusually severe winter weather that we xperienced during April and the first part of May. Some places most of the bloom was killed while at other locations a fair crop was harvested. 1909 was too wet during the picking season. These conditions make it rather difficult to give a fair description of the behavior of the different varieties.
My Strawberry Plants are all grown on good new upland soil that has never grown a crop before. My Strawberries, Blackberries and Raspberries brought the highest price on the Topeka market. See testimonials, which show that I have the right kind of fruit to propigate from. :
Prospects.—Strawberry plants went into winter in good condition but few in number, . consequently the price for berries will be high for perhaps two years to come. Many fields were partly drowned out during the first part of the summer and the grass and weeds got such a start that many patches were abandoned. The drouth of August and September prevented the rooting of a large number of plants so that those fields that were rescued from the weeds are only a partial stand. I lost all of my old patches.
Now Is the Time to plant Strawberries for many of the growers have lost most of their plants, and others are discouraged. The best time to start into a new business is when — most people are discouraged and dropping out of it.
I dig up the plants and put into labeled boxes which are taken to the Lae room, “ald _ tied into bunches of 26. o

PLANTING
Prepare your ground in the fall or as early as possible in the spring. When it is ready to plant go over it another time with a good dise and harrow; it will pay.
Set All Plants with their Roots as straight down as possible, and the crown of Straw- berries just deep enough so that when the ground is settled there will be % to % inch of soil above the point where the roots join the crown. Then pack the soil against the roots very firmly by stepping close against the plant. Your whole weight will not be too much unless the soil is wet enough to form clod.
Wet the Roots Just Before Planting but do not use water in setting unless the ground is very dry or you set late in the season. The best time to plant is in March or early in April. Nature stores up a great deal of energy in a plant that gives it a vigorous start in the spring. If a plant is transplanted early this latent energy starts it while the roots are throwing out an abundance of small rootlets that amply supply the plant’s needs after the latent energy is used up and there is no check to the growth.
After Planting, start your cultivator and hoes, and continue until late in September.
The First and Last Commandments are to cultivate and hoe; the other eight are to hoe and cultivate. Get good plants, follow these directions and you will have a good foun- dation for a profitable strawberry crop.
Description.—In describing varieties I am telling you just how they do and appear to me. The season, condition of the soil, and location have much to do with the performance of the different plants. This accounts, in part, for varied descriptions given by different growers.
Excelsior.—This is the earliest that I ever grew. It will pay to plant a few.
Arnout’s —I picked some very nice berries of fine flavor and quality from the few plants that I had left after last spring’s sales. They are recommended as being a large berry of excellent quality. The plant growth is excellent, and I think it a fine variety.
Cardinal—Is a fine, large, dark red berry of good quality. It is very highly rece mended. The plant growth is fine. Iam well pleased with what I see of it.
Commonwealth.—I never fruited this variety. It is one of the kinds that are recom- mended to be a better late berry than the Gandy. Give it a trial.
Clyde.—This is a heavy producer of very large, good quality berries. The foliage is a little secant. It is a good berry and requires rich soil.
Glen Mary.—This is a heavy producer of the largest size berries, of excellent quality, requires rich light soil, foliage is good. It is one of the most profitable for me.
Gandy.—A very large, light red, roundish berry. Very firm and a good shipper of fairly good quality. It is the standard of late berries. It is the best very late berry that I have tried. I have several kinds that I am testing which are claimed to be better and as late as the Gandy.
Senator Dunlap.—This berry does well in more localities and under more varied condi- tions than any berry known. Many growers think it the best all round berry grown. With me it ripens as early as the earliest except the Excelsior, and is much larger and a better seller. For this reason I have discarded Aug. Luther, Johnson’s Early, Morning Star, Texas, Crescent, Lady Thompson, Tennessee Prolific and about a dozen others. Senator Dunlap is a very large, uniform shaped, glossy, dark red berry of good quality. Itisa very good producer. It is a berry everyone should plant. However it has two faults. One is it makes too many plants and must be thinned, the other is that a very late freeze hurts it worse than some others. I plant more Dunlap than any other kind. The past season it was my best producer. I have a large stock of plants and offer them at $2.50 a thousand(1000), no discount.
Sample is highly recommended as being a very good commercial sort, good size, uniform and firm. Very prolific. I have not fruited it.
Splendid.—Is very hardy, good shape and quality, good size and will stand more neglect, and,;unfavorable weather than any berry that I know of. I planted a few in a peach orchard six years ago and never cultivated it since the first year. It always produces good berries. It is a good berry to plant if you cannot give much attention to them.
Stephen’s Late Champion.—I fruited a short row of these berries last season. They are about as late as the Gandy and very large and firm. It is highly recommended as being
6 GRAND VIEW FRUIT ANE PLANT FARM
a better all round late berry than the Gandy. The plant growth is very good but the plants are rather small. ‘Try it.
Captain Jack.—This berry is largely planted on account of its being an extra good polenizer to plant with the imperfect blooming kinds. The berry is first class except a little too small to command the best prices.
Uncle Jim or Dornan.—This is another extra large, fine flavored, prolific berry. The plant and foliage are rank and beautiful. It is a favorite, and money maker of mine. Runners are short and do not make many plants. The past season many of the berries rotted on account of the large berries resting upon the wet soil.
Sutherland.—This is another good seller. Berries are good size, bright red,. and of uniform shape and size. The quality is the best, and it is prolific.
Haverland.—Large, long, deep red, good quality. Mele.—Good uniform size, fine color, fine flavor, heavy yielder.
Aroma.—Large, fine quality, very firm and a good cropper. A fine market sort, but does not set quite as many plants as I would like.
Bowers.—This is a berry of Arkansas origin. 1 planted my first plants of this variety last March and was surprised at the large amount of very large, dark red and very firm berries that these newly set plants produced. They ripened along with the Gandy but seem to be much more productive; and if they continue to behave in this way they will be a fine acquisition. The plant growth is extra good.
Pride of Michigan.—This is another variety that I planted for the first time last spring and is one of the two most promising of my late plantings. It is a mid-season berry of very good quality, bright red, very productive and a uniform smooth large page It will pay to give it a trial.
St. Louis.—This is one of the early berries originated by J. A. Bauer of Judsonia, Arkansas, who claims to have grown them so large that eleven filled a quart box, and says they are very productive. The few berries that I saw of them were well colored and of ~ good quality. They make plenty of good sized hardy plants. I have a good stock of them.
President.—-This mid-season berry is a fine one in every respect. I fruited a few plants last summer. It is said to be very productive. The plant growth is nearly ideal.
Bubach.—Is a mid-season berry of high standard. The plants are large and do best on rich soil. It is one of the old favorites. a a
Arkansas Black.—I fruited a few of them the past season. The berry is good size, fine flavor and of the darkest glossy red I ever saw. ‘Try some.
New York.—TI never fruited this late berry. It is claimed to be very large, fine flavored and productive. It makes very large heavily rooted plants.
Marshal.—This is one of the old varieties of extra large very finely colored berries. The plants are very large and fine.
Warfield.—Is the standard of productiveness and possesses many good qualities. The berry is a little too small to command the best price.
Almo.—This is another plant of Arkansas origin, introduced by Bauer who claims to have picked one quart of berries from a single plant at one picking. It seems to be a very good variety. I have never-fruited it. It is early.
Parker Earl.—An old standard of very productive habits. It is a good berry. The plants are very large but very few ot hem.
Virginia.—This is another new, promising variety which I have never fruited. The plant- growth is good, try a few.
Evening Star.—Claimed to be the latest of any and is highly recommended. I have never grown it. I would recommend trying some.
I recommend planting four to six kinds for your main patch and as many other kinds as you may wish to try. Some varieties that do best on some soils and location are not so good as other varieties on different soils and location. Some kinds do well in a wet season, others do better if a little dry. It is impossible for me to say what kinds are best for you, as I am not familiar with the condition of your soil, its drainage or the kind of season you are likely to have. I prefer to have purchaser to make his own selections. In case I am
ae
WwW. L. LUX, R. R. No. 7, TOPEKA, KANSAS 7
out of the kind selected I will substitute a variety that is similar to the one ordered or return your money, whichever you prefer.
Special Offer.—One hundred each of any three kinds not priced at over 40 cents per 100, for $1.00.
If higher priced plants are wanted add the difference in price of the kind chosen.
We always have a surplus of some kinds left at the end of the season and they are just as apt to be of our best and highest priced plants, as of the cheaper kinds. Anyone wish- ing some of this surplus stock can have it at 25 cents per 100 or 50 cents for 250, providing he orders 500 or more at a time. The varieties will be of my selection, and shipped at your expense about May lst.
BLACKBERRIES
With the possible exception of the Haymaker and Cardinal Raspberry, blackberries ae made me the most money for the least labor of any of my small fruits.
Blackberries and Raspberries, if well cultivated the first year, will take care of them- selves for years to come and produce a good supply of berries. No home is complete with- out a generous patch of berries.
It Pays to Cultivate Them and confine them to rows. This is the only way to grow them profitably in a commercial way.
Orange Rust.—This is a subject that plant growers seldom mention in a catalogue, but as it occasionally plays an importaant part in the success of ones plans, I think. a few words on this subject will not be out of place here. Orange rust is a disease that is every- where where blackberries are grown extensively. It is easy to detect on the leaves or tender shoots of growing plants. It is spread by the spores, a bright red dust, that usually gre on the under side of the leaves, and is spread by the wind, insects and other ways. ©.
When a plant once becomes inoculated there is no remedy for it. It should be dug up root and all and burned to prevent the further spread of the disease. Every plant that springs up from a root of an infected nee will become rusty hence the importance of pull- ing up the first plants that show the rust. The Kittating, Lanton and a few others are more susceptible to rust than others, the same as some kinds of apples are subject to ‘Op ple tree blight.
..Last spring I was very short on Mercerean Plants and bought 2500 plants which I re- sold to my customers thinking that they were healthy, but they proved to be badly effected with orange rust. I notified all parties to whom I sold those rusty ones that T would re- place them free of charge with good plants.
Anyone who bought those plants of me last spring can have them penlaced free of charge by letting me know the number of Mercerean Plants they received.
This spring I will sell no blackberry plants except those of my own raising, and feel confident that they will be free from rust.
My Blackberry Plants are nearly all root cutting plants grown on new ground and are large and fine.
The blackberry crop last summer was not as large as the two previous years, neither were the berries as large. Nevertheless it was the best paying crop of fruit I bapvceced: The canes are in fine condition for a large crop next year.
Early Harvest, except where the winters are extremely cold, is one of the most es berries to grow. It is not a very large berry but is very productive, good quality and one of the best shippers, on account of its firmness. It makes plenty of medium sized canes. The plant is healthy, and have ripe fruit six weeks. *
The Early Harvest netted me a little the most money per acre this past summer of any blackberry I raised. None of them sold for less than $2 for a 24-quart crate. I think my strain of Early Harvest blackberries are of the very best, large berries, very productive and healthy caues. They have all been recently propigated from an old pateh that was ee Ubi eighteen years ago and is still producing good crops of fruit and is free from rust.
Early King.—By many growers it is considered the best early berry. The first ‘a pickings are larger than the early harvest. It stands severe winters without injury and is prolific. The bush is very thorny.
Kenoyer. —Where the buds are not killed by severe late freezing this is certainly the very best early berry. There are none earlier.. The berry is very large, round, ; glossy
$ GRAND VIEW FRUIT AND PLANT FARM
blaek, and of very fine flavor. The berry is a little tender for shipping long distances but for local markets it brings the top price and creates a demand for.more. The cane is sturdy and the foliage rich, has but very few thorns. It is healthy and productive, ripens most of its berries within 10 days. A fine berry for the pickers. The only fault is if we have a very severe freeze just at the time the fruit buds are about to open it kills many of them. I would not do without it. On all territory south of Topeka I think it will be a profitable berry to plant largely.
The 1909 crop was the largest I ever grew, and was a close rival to the Early Harvest for first place.
Mercerean.—This is a berry that cannot be recommended too highly. The plant is iron clad, very large and branching. Pinch the soft end off the new canes 30 inches above ground. If you let it grow it will grow seven or eight feet high and the wind will break many of them and reduce the yield of fruit. It makes but few plants. Hence the high price. The berry is the largest and best in quality of all hardy late berries, begins ripen- ing 10 days later than Kenoyer, and takes its place on the market, always commanding the top price. Lasts six weeks, very productive and holds up in size better than most black- berries.
I have grown this berry 5 years without any rust and think very well of it yet. 1909 was the only season out of four that it did not out yield any other berry grown on my farm. Unfortuntely my Mercerean are growing on rather wet clay soil and the excessive wet weather of 1908 retarded the cane growth so that there was not sufficient bearing wood to produce an extra crop.
Erie is very similar to Mercerean in every respect. Berry a little rounder.
Snyder.—This is the late berry mostly grown for commerce. It is good size, ships well, plant growth large and very hardy. Very productive and a long season berry. Plant on good ground.
Iceberg.—This is Luther Burbank’s White Blackberry, not ripe until~it looks pearly white. The cane is like early harvest, foliage light green narrow leaf. Severe freezing either early or late séems to have no effect on its enormous production of fine, large fruit. The quality of the berry is good. Splendid for canning, but is too delicate a color to market profitably. Be sure to plant some.
Lux’s Seedling.—This is a berry that I found growing in a stone quarry five years ago. It always produced a large crop of large, long berries of very good quality, no hard core, berries ripen evenly and last about six weeks. The cane growth is good and very hardy. Try a few.
Dewberries.—Have not proved to be as profitable as blackberries for me, but some people ~, sueeeed finely with them. Plant on thin soil. The berries are very large and always are x big demand at high prices. The vines require but very little attention.
Luchetie.—This variety succeeds best with me and I think it the best to plant. I ve a good supply of strong plants. I also have a few of Austin and Premo at the same price for those wishing to try them.
RASPBERRIES
‘I have but a small amount of plants of the blackeaps; viz, Kansas, Cumberland and Hoosier, which are among the best of the black varieties.
Red Raspberries —These are the best quality of the raspberry family but I never suc- eeeded in growing enough of them to pay for the use of the ground they occupy. I have a few plants of Miller red and London at $1 a 100.
Cardinal,a purple cap similar to Haymaker, but not so late, nor quite as hardy. 1909 erop was nearly a failure.
Haymaker has been the most profitable of all raspberries I ever raised. It is dark red turning purple when very ripe. Should be picked before it becomes very ripe. At this stage the flavor is fine and it will hold up on the market for several days before breaking down. It is the latest to ripen and the heaviest cropper of any raspberry known. The berry is very large and has a kind of bloom on it that makes it look like flour was dusted over it. The quality is good and when a customer once buys a box he always wants more. I have fruited them four years and have always got from $3 to $4 a crate for them. They are a cross be- tween the black and red and propigate from the tip. They are hard to propigate but the plants will always grow if given a fair chance. Plant four feet by seven or eight feet apart en rich seil, pinch eff young canes to make them branch. ota

é FLOWERS
Beautify your home and yard and make it attractive, restful and homelike by planting some lovely flowers and shrubs. If you are very busy and have little or no time to care for your flowers plant the common roses, Golden Glow, German Iris, Peonies and Hardy Phlox, Lilacs and Spireas. All of these will care for themselves after first started. They can be greatly improved by cultivation.
I was, fortunate in securing one of the finest collections (about 50 varieties) of German Iris in the city of Topeka, together with other Iris, Hardy Phlox, etc. I got this collec- tion from my brother, Dr. G. P. Lux, who has moved from the city. Iam now offering a large part of this magnificent collection to my patrons at a very modest price.
I wish to call your special attention to the very low prices which I quote on some of the very best varieties of flowers and shrubs. Iam doing this as a means of getting my plants distributed among as large a number of people as possible and in that way build up my trade. A pleased customer is one of the best mediums of advertising. Descrip- tive cuts of flowers and plants are very expensive parts of a catalogue, and for that reason I have omitted them and am giving you the advantage of it in lower prices for first class plants. I earnestly request you to compare my plants and prices with those of prominent eastern growers and examine their descriptive cuts.
I secured my first propigating plants from the best flower growers and flower lovers of Topeka, and from such reliable eastern firms us Peter Henderson, Henry A. Dreer, Thos. Meehan & Sons, Connard Jones & Co., Childs, and Burbank of California.
