THIS IS OUR ONLY SALESMAN

In presenting this edition of our catalog we wish to extend thanks for past patronage and to assure our customers prompt and careful attention to all inquiries and orders they may favor us with.

THE CASH WITH ORDER WAY

Why Pay Agents Commissions. Why Pay Other People’s Bad Debts.

You get trees so much cheaper from us because our way of dealing direct with the planter, and saving middlemen’s expenses and commissions enables us to sell quality trees at almost half the price that tree agents ask.

HOW TO ORDER . — Please make out your order on detachable order sheet in back of catalog. Send payment with order. Procure a Money Order at your post-office or express office, or a draft at the nearest bank or send cash in a registered letter. Mail all to us in the enclosed self addressed envelope. Follow directions “ HOW TO ORDER ” on order sheet as closely as possible and make directions very plain as this will prevent any mis- takes occurring. If directions are omitted we will forward according to our own judg- ment. Small orders will go cheaper by express, large orders by freight. Always state sizes desired.

ORDER EARLY, as our orders are shipped in the rotation they are received — First come first served. We cannot delay orders received first for orders coming later requiring immediate attention. If for any special reason it is necessary that an order be shipped on a specified date make a note on the order and we will comply with the request if possible. Our regular shipping season opens in the Spring about March 15th and in the Fall about October 1st.

PACKING. — We do not charge for packing, boxing or delivering to freight or express com- panies at Rochester. We do not prepay any charges, unless goods are to be delivered to a prepaid station, as all our prices and quotations are Free On Board cars at our nurseries. If you have no agent at your station and shipment has to be prepaid notify us and we will prepay and bill charges to you after shipment.

OUR TREES are Clean, Healthy, Hardy, and Thrifty. Finest grown. It is an established fact that in no other part of the country do fruit trees attain the perfection of those grown in Rochester and vicinity. Not one nurseryman in a thousand buds or grafts his own trees as we do. Our trees are grown and cared for by men who have been in our employ from 25 to 30 years. They know how and do turn out the finest fruit trees possible.

Our stock is all first class of the different sizes as specified. We do not handle any second class trees. All poor trees or culls go into the brush heap.

There never has been any San Jose Scale found in or near our nurseries. Our trees are inspected by state authorities every year and an official certificate of their freedom from diseases accompanies each shipment.

OUR GUARANTEE . — We exercise care to have our stock genuine and reliable, and hereby guarantee that if all, substantially all or any part of stock delivered, does not prove true to name as ordered, we will replace it free of charge, or refund the money paid for it, that being the measure of damages for a breach of the contract.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY. — See any commercial agency, banker or postmaster at Rochester. Our trees are sold by pleased customers recommending us to their friends. We cannot afford to give unsatisfactory service to our patrons. IF WE PLEASE YOU TELL YOUR FRIENDS. IF NOT TELL US.

RATES. — Less than ten of a variety always at single rates.

Over ten and less than 30 of the same variety at 10 rates. 10 rate will not be given on a lot of 10 or more composed of several varieties. The 10 must all be of the same variety.

Over 30 and less than 300 of the same variety at 100 rates. 100 rate will not be given on a lot of 30 or more composed of several varieties. The 30 must all be of the same variety.

Over 300 of the same variety at 1,000 rates. 1,000 rate will not be given on a lot of 300 or more composed of several varieties. The 300 must all be of the same variety. Where no 1,000 rate is given the 100 rate always governs.

EXAMPLE. — In an order of 5 Baldwin, 8 Northern Spy, 9 Ben Davis, 10 Fameuse, 20 Early Harvest, 40 Fall Pippin apples, 200 Cuthbert, 200 Kansas Raspberry, and 400 Eldorado Blackberry, the 400 Eldorado would go at 1,000 rates, the 200 Cuthbert, the 200 Kansas and the 40 Fall Pippin would go at 100 rates, the 20 Early Harvest and 10 Fameuse would go at 10 rates and the 9 Ben Davis, 8 Northern Spy and 5 Baldwin would go at single rates.

COLLECTIONS. — We cannot make any changes in our collections for they are selected and bundled before our busy shipping season and the valuable time saved by doing this makes it possible for us to offer these collections at such a reduced price.

IF WE PLEASE YOU TELL YOUR FRIENDS. IF NOT TELL US,

Why can Green’s Nursery Co. sell Trees,

Plants and Ornamentals at such Reasonable Prices? A DIRECT ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION.

WE sell high grade quality trees, etc., at less than half the price asked by tree agents. This is a fact. Why we are able to do so is as follows : We deal directly with the planter. There are no middlemen to take their profits and expenses and make you pay for them. Selling trees through agents who canvas every township is expensive. Green’s way avoids all this expense. Green pays no salaries to tree agents. Green’s catalog takes place of the tree agent. We place our catalog before you and you select what you want and send in the order and we do the rest. Another reason why we can sell high grade trees for almost wholesale prices is that we have no bad debts. Our patrons pay for what they buy. You do not have to make up for the bad debts of others when you deal with us.

You save at least half your money by buying in Green's Way . We have the largest business of this kind, a mail order business, in the world. We have 33 years’ experience, and a reputation secured by 33 years of square dealing with our patrons, who may be found in every region and township over this broad country.

While you save half your money in buying direct of us that is not the principal advantage in buying Green’s Rochester trees. The great advantage is in securing high quality trees that are true to name.

We invite you to come to our Nurseries at Rochester and look over our growing trees. You will find our trees have wonderful roots and are straight, clean trees, well branched. This is made possible by our three nursery farms, eaching having a different kind of soil (different kinds of trees demand different kinds of soil) and our men who, after years of experience, have become experts in growing our Trees, Plants and Ornaments in the latest and most scientific manner.

Many of our men who have been with us for years have sons who have worked in our nursery business ten to fifteen years. These young men have learned the nursery business from childhood and are experts in their special departments.

It has been said that a man should select his nurserymen with as much care as he selects his insurance company. We believe this is true because it pays to buy only the highest quality Trees, Plants and Ornamentals, true to name. You should know the nursery company which sell you your trees.

BIRTH OF THE MAIL ORDER NURSERY

Over 33 years ago C. A. Green, the pioneer of the mail order nursery business, realized that the man who could get the highest quality trees into the people’s hands at the most reasonable prices would be the most successful. He saw that the only way to do this was to grow his own trees and sell through a catalog direct to the planter, on a cash with order basis and save all agent’s expenses and bad debts.

To establish a business of this kind it was neces- sary to gain the absolute confidence cf the general public and this could be done only by satisfying every' customer or giving, ‘ ‘ fair play and half the road,” and sometimes more than “ half the road.” But this rule has always been strictly adhered to, as it is this more than anything else that made it possible for C. A. Green to establish “ the largest mail order nursery in the world.” Absolute re- sponsibility and honesty, highest quality trees, most reasonable prices, trees true to name, satisfac- tion to customers, are the comer stones of our business.

We are the largest and oldest retail “ mail order nursery ” in the country, have a capital of over $100,000.00, are rated among the highest by all mercantile agencies ; grow the highest quality trees, absolutely true to name, budded or grafted from bearing orchards of our own. Sell at the most reasonable prices by dealing direct with the planter at the least expense. Give satisfaction to all customers. We realize that our satisfied cus- tomers are our best advertisement.

THE QUALITY OF OUR TREES CANNOT BE EXCELLED.

HINTS ON TRANSPLANTING, ETC.

It is very easy to transplant trees successfully if these directions are followed.

With “ Green’s Quality Trees ” the most inexperienced men can set out orchards with the highest degree of success. Experience has taught us that 90^ of the trees that die do so because the persons who planted them did not have directions for transplanting to follow, or did not follow the ones they had. Were it possible for us to plant and care for the stock we sent out we would willingly insure the growth of every tree and plant. These directions are invaluable to you, for if they are followed your trees, plants, etc., can be set out with the surety of a reasonable degree of success.

PREPARATION OF THE SOIL.— Pre- pare a rich, deep bed of 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 required for a crop of wheat, com or potatoes.

PREPARATION OF TREES OR OTHER STOCK. — We use great care in digging or packing, but the loss of some small roots and fibers is unavoidable. If stock is properly prepared before it is planted, no permanent injury will result from this, but the preser- vation of the natural balance between top and roots renders a vigorous cutting back of the former absolutely necessary in some cases. And, therefore, prune off broken 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 season’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. Evergreen and other or- namental trees, the beauty of which depends on preserving their natural form, should be pruned very little. Hence, great care should be taken in planting and caring for these. If not ready to plant when the stock arrives, “heel it in” by placing the roots in a trench and covering them with mellow earth, well packed.

PLANTING . — Make the holes large enough to admit the roots without any cramp- ing 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 ground is firmly and solidly packed over all parts of the roots by exerting the full weight of the planter upon it, so that there will be no opportunity for dry air or frost to enter and destroy roots deprived of the full benefit of their natural protection. Omission to pack the earth solidly is a most frequent cause of failure in planting nursery stock. Fill the holes even enough to be even with the surrounding surface after the fresh

earth settles. Always remove the label when planting. If this is left until the tree is grown, the connecting wire often cuts into and destroys the tree or branch to which it may be attached. Never use wire in contact with roots. When planting dwarf trees set them low enough to cover the stock upon which they are budded, but not lower. Large standard trees should be staked and tied so that the wind will not loosen the roots. This should be so done that the bands will not chafe the trees. It is a very good way to drive two stakes and confine the trees between straw or hay bands stretched from stake to stake.

MULCHING. — When trees or bushes are planted, they should be mulched or covered with a layer of coarse manure or litter three to six inches deep for a space of say, two feet more in diameter than the extent of the roots. This keeps the earth moist and 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 a 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 each spring be- fore the buds swell any. In this way the removal of large branches will be avoided.

FALL PLANTING.— When planted in the fall, all trees should be banked up at least one foot high until spring. This over- comes the tendency of trees to heave out, protects them from mice and prevents the roots from freezing before they have taken hold of tie soil. In planting roses, shrubs, vines and other delicate stock in the fall, the tops should be nearly or quite buried with mellow earth during the first winter. The surplus earth should be removed early in the spring.

If trees are received in a frozen state, place the package unopened, in a cellar, away from the frost and heat, until thawed out and then unpack. If partially dried from long expos- ure, bury entirely in the grQund cr place in water from 12 to 24 hours.

WE ARE GROWING THE BEST STRAINS OF THE OLD STANDARD SORTS AND MAKING A CAREFUL SELECTION OF NEW VARIETIES.

FRUIT TREE DEPARTMENT

HOW TO SET OUT AN ORCHARD distance for planting

There are two ways to lay out an orchard : First, the old method of planting in squares, which is the one so generally used in the past; and second, the new triangular method (recommended by Prof J. E. Wickson an others), which is far better. By the old method trees were planted on the four corners of a square; by the triangular method the trees are planted on the three corners of an equal-sided tri- angle, and are so placed that the trees of any row are opposite the open spaces of the two rows adjoin- ing it. By referring to the illustration at the bottom of this page it will be seen that in both methods the trees are equally distant, but in the triangular method the trees in the center rows are opposite the open spaces in the top and bottom rows, and because of this fact, the center row can be planted closer to the top and bottom rows, and at the same time all trees will be the required distance apart. This method also per- mits of the cultivation in three directions instead of two, as in the old way. Lastly, it accommodates a greater number of trees to the acre, which is ex- plained in the following table.

To ascertain the number of plants re- quired 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 row, 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 5445 plants per acre.

APPLE TREES

THE APPLE IS “KING OF FRUITS”

NO other fruit succeeds over so wide a range of territory and under such diversified cli- matic conditions, and no other fruit brings so sure a return to the grower in proportion to time and money expended upon its production. With proper selection of varieties, location of soil, and subsequent intelligent management, there can be but little risk in plant- ing the apple, which is now no longer a luxury but a staple article of food. The apple has few rivals among cultivated fruits. Its mild and pleasant acid is a panacea for many of the ills that the human race is heir to. What fruit can be more pleasant to the palate or more beautiful to the eye than the rich ripe apple when plucked fresh from the tree, or what more luscious and healthful when cooked ? Who does not remember with extreme delight the delicious baked apples served with sugar and cream or the apple dumpling or apple pie “that mother used to make ?”

Select an elevated site for any kind of orchard in preference to low ground, unless the low ground is located near a large body of water, which protects it from frost. In planting an apple or other orchard the best method is to mark out the land with an ordinary com marker, the same as for planting corn ; then locate the trees in every fifth row, if that is the distance you desire. In this way your trees will form rows from every point of view, with- out any trouble in sighting or sticking stakes.

WINTER APPLES

YORK IMPERIAL

YORK IMPERIAL (Johnson’s Fine Winter) — Medium, white, shaded with crimson in the sun, juicy, crisp, mild sub-acid; tree moderately vigorous and productive. November to February. This is a large and beautiful red winter apple, originating in Pennsylvania, where it is a great success. It comes into bearing early and succeeds over a wide extent of country, bearing regular and heavy crops. Its foliage and fruit are free from scab; its skin is'yellow covered with bright red and striped; it is a good shipper, bringing the highest price. The peculiarity of YORK IMPERIAL is that though beautiful in form it is a little , lop-sided. Its bright red color sells the fruit. What orchardists are continually seeking is a red apple the trees of which are productive and thrifty. Red apples always sell well. Here is a bright red apple which will attract any buyer who visits your orchard. This is the lead- ing variety for Pennsylvania. It is very hardy and suited to any part of the country.

BLENHEIM PIPPIN (Blenheim Orange) — Large, roundish, deep orange, dark red stripes next sun, often mixed with russet; white flesh, crisp and juicy. November and February.

STARK — A hardy winter apple; tree a good grower, upright and spreading; good bearer, and much valued as a late keeper and fine market sort; fruit large greenish yellow, shaded and striped with dark red and sprinkled with brown dots; good to best. January to June. The Stark is now recog- nized as a leading variety for commercial orchards. In New York State and in New England especially it is being planted in large lots.

NORTHWESTERN GREENING— A Wis- consin seedling of great value; has stood the most trying tests and found to be equal to Wealthy in point of hardiness; fruit large, smooth, greenish yellow; flesh fine grained, juicy, firm, good quality. January to April.

RAMBO — Medium, round and flat, yel- lowish-white in the shade, streaked and splashed with pale yellow and red in the sun. Oct. to Jan.

NORTHWESTERN GREENING

AN INFERIOR TREE IS DEAR AT ANY PRICE.

Winter Apples (Continued)

’ BALDWIN

WAGENER (Red Winter Apple)— Wag- ener is a beautiful winter apple. It is sup- posed to be a seedling of the Northern Spy. It is of the highest quality, the flesh being crisp, tender and aromatic. It succeeds well East and West. All successful fruit growers desire such an apple as the Wagener, not only for their own eating, but as an attrac- tive fruit to market at home or abroad. Medium to large; deep red in the sun; flesh firm, sub-acid and excellent. Tree a vig- orous, handsome upright grower, and very productive; an excellent variety.

GREEN’S IMPROVED BALDWIN — Brighter and better quality than old Baldwin. Tree more vigorous grower. Discovered by C. A. Green. Flesh tender, delicious. A long keeper. Largest size, 45 cents each, medi- um size, 40 cents each, smaller size, 35 cents each.

BALDWIN — (Red Winter Apple) — What the Bartlett pear is to pears, the Baldwin is to apples for the Eastern and Middle States. While sufficiently hardy for these sections, it will not endure the severe climate of the North- west. In Western New York the advice used to be in planting a thou- sand trees, plant nine hundred and ninety- nine Baldwins, and plant the other tree a Baldwin also. No variety yields larger crops or bears shipment better, or is more attractive in color and size and shape, than the Baldwin. For a commercial orchard it can be relied upon. Large, bright red, crisp, juicy, and rich ; tree vigorous, upright, and productive. In New England, New York, Ontario and Michigan, this is one of the most popular and profitable sorts for table or market. Largest size, 45 cents each ; medium size, 40 cents each ; smaller size, 35 cents each.

YELLOW BELLFLOWER — Season, winter. Hardy, large size, beautiful golden color, often with red blush; conical in shape. Flesh very tender and fine grained, crisp, juicy, sub-acid, of excellent quality. Nov- ember to April.

Gentlemen: — I received my trees yesterday all in fine shape, and I must say that I am more than pleased with them. My neighbors are asking howT I managed to get such a fine lot of trees for the money, and I tell them it was by dealing with GREEN the reliable nurseryman. Yours very truly,

Wm. A. Coujns.

A SAFE RULE IS “NOT THE CHEAPEST BUT THE BEST.”

A PIRATE OF NORTHERN SPY APPLES

NORTHERN SPY — This superior big, red winter apple originated near Rochester, N. Y. It has no superior for beauty and quality. When at its best it is of large size, and is an abundant bearer. The fruit is held on a long, slender stem, which sways in the wind, there- fore the Spy does not blow off from the tree. It is a good keeping apple. Season, Decem- ber to February. This is one of the leading if not the best variety next to the Baldwin for New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Indiana, Michigan and the New England States.

KING (King of Tompkins Co.) — A red winter apple. When you see in the market apples of extraordinary size, beautiful red in color, specimens that attract the attention of everybody who passes by, you may know that these are the King apple, an appropri- ate name since it is of the largest size and possessed of the greatest beauty. The market is never fully supplied with this variety, since its size and beauty make it in great demand. Tree a vigorous grower, good bearer and hardy. It is also attractive, is always in great demand in the market. Fast year dealers were looking everywhere for Kings. Do not fail to plant King Apple.

McINTOSH RED — A hardy Canadian variety. Medium size, nearly covered with dark red. Flesh white, fine, very tender, juicy and refreshing with attractive quince- like flavor. A good annual bearer. A very hardy variety, fruit of which is very attrac- tive in appearance, of deep red color, good size, the flesh very tender and delicious. It is especially desirable for fancy trade. It comes into bearing young, yielding large crops of good fruit almost annually. Larg- est size 45 cents each, medium size 40 cents each, smaller size 35 cents each.

BISMARCK APPLE — An attractive apple in color and shape, the skin being a bright yellow, covered with bright carmine. One feature of the Bismarck which recommends it to many people is that it bears fruit at a very early age. On a transplanted two-year- old standard tree we counted 26 handsome apples. The fruit is of large size, specimens having been grown weighing nearly two pounds each. The flesh is yellow, tender.

A BASKET OF McINTOSH APPEES

Tree planting: involves years of outlay, care and waiting, and no planter can afford to liandicap himself with inferior specimens.

WINTER BANANA — Very handsome; golden yellow, with tint of red on the sunny side; flesh yellowish-white; excellent sub-acid flavor resembling a Banana. January to July. It is of better quality than Swaar, says C. A. Green and Prof. H. E. Van Deman. The tree is vigorous and hardy. It is a great bearer, the fruit is uniformly fair and handsome, the color of pure gold, with red blush. The fruit is large and keeps all winter. It smells and tastes like a banana. Plant the Banana Apple tree. A friend told me that three year old trees bore fruit last fall. Banana is an early fruiting variety. We have been growing Banana apple at Green’s fruit farm for many years. The tree is a good grower. No orchardist should feel satisfied without having the Banana in his orchard. Dec. to Apr.

JONATHAN— Medium, roundish, yellow, nearly covered with red, fine grained, tender and finely flavored. Tree slender and spreading with light colored shoots. Great apple of the west and northwestern states. Succeeds at east also. Most beautiful of apples. Season November to April.

ST A YM AN’S WINES AP— This is a large reddish apple of superior quality. It has a delightful flavor, and tender flesh. It is a great favorite throughout the west.

PEWAUKEE — Raised from the seed of Oldenburg. Fruit medium to large, round- ish oblate ; skin bright yellow, striped and splashed with dark red ; flesh white, tender, juicy, sub-acid. Esteemed especially for cold climates, on account of its hardiness. We are often asked to supply a red winter apple that is hardy enough for Iowa, Minne- sota, Maine and Vermont. Pewaukee is that variety. Its parentage tells the story. It is like Oldenburg in hardiness. Tree is healthy and long-lived, comes into bearing early. and is a reliable cropper, often yielding heavy crops of fruit annually. It is espec- ially valuable for sections where hardiness and productiveness are the chief objects. November to May.

Winter Apples (Continued)

BEN DAVIS— A SURE AND HEAVY BEARER.

BEN DAVIS — Large, handsome, striped; a valuable late keeper. December to March- It is hardy and attractive, succeeds wherever apples are grown. The market men like it, and the customers do too, else they would not continue to buy it. There is no apple that has more favor on account of its hardiness, productiveness, beauty and endurance in ship- ping. It is excellent for cooking. There are better apples, but where Ben Davis succeeds one can be sure of success, owing to its regular and heavy bearing.

It is considered by many of the large orchardists to be the best money maker of them all because it bears regularly and very heavily, and owing to the unusually attractive appearance of its fruit there is always a great demand for this variety in the market. It is very fine for cooking and culinary purposes, and the fact that the demand for it still continues seems to prove that it stands in good favor with the people.

ROXBURY RUSSET — Medium to large.

Surface rough, greenish covered with russet.

Tree free grower, spreading ; a great bearer.

Keeps until June.

TOLMAN SWEET — Medium size ; color, light yellow ; flesh white, firm, rich, and very sweet. Excellent for winter baking.

November to April. This is the old favorite, highly prized for baking, etc. Productive, an early bearer, long keeper, bearing ship- ment well.

GREENING, RHODE ISLAND— Large, green ; tender, rich, sub-acid ; productive, very popular. December to April. This large and superior winter apple is famous over a large extent of country, more highly prized for cooking and eating than any other.

A good keeper. Beautiful yellow in color when ripe, a most abundant yielder, produc- ing immense crops.

WEALTHY APPLE — This is a beautiful hardy winter apple, originating in Minne- sota. It is gaining in popularity each year on account of beauty and quality, as well as its hardiness. It is productive and an acquisition anywhere. Fruit large, roundish; skin smooth, oily, covered with a dark red. Flesh white, tender, juicy, vinous, sub-acid; qual- ity very good. This is one of the most desirable varieties for Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, as well as the Bastem and Middle states.

WOLF RIVER — Hardy, originating in Wisconsin, and for many years has success- fully stood that rigorous climate. Fruit is very large, some specimens weighing 27 ounces; round, flattened, conical, highly colored red. An excellent cooking fruit.

TRANSCENDENT CRAB APPLE— It is

perfectly hardy everywhere, and an immense bearer, yielding large crops every year. It is also a rapid grower and often bears fruit three years after planting. The color of this crab apple is as bright as the brightest red rose. These trees were beautiful objects when thus laden with bright red apples. The fruit of this crab is held in great esteem by house- wives for making jelly, pickles and pre- serves. They can be dried, cooked, canned, or preserved with the skin on , saving a great amount of trouble. September.

DWARF

Dwarf apples commence bearing fruit the second year after planting and as they do not attain as large a size as standard trees, they are especially desirable for village or city gardens. The big advantage of these dwarf trees is that they do not attain a size any greater than peach, plum, etc, and this makes them very desirable for gardens in the city where space is limited. Heretofore city people have been obliged to buy all their apples because the size of their garden plot would not enable them to plant standard trees on account of the amount of space these standard trees required. These dwarf trees bear when very young and bear very abund- antly. There is no question as to the desir- ability of being able to go out into your own fruit garden and pick fruit from trees of your own growing and eat it when in the freshest condition. These dwarf trees open up a new avenue to the people who have gardens of a limited size.

Price of Dwarf Apples — each 40c, $3.50 per

These dwarf apple trees are first class, well branched, but are not so large as standard trees.

Gentlemen: I am perfectly delighted with my trees, they are much larger and better than you repre-

sented them to be. Both the large and small fruits are heavily rooted and all are stocky and thrifty look- ing. We have never seen as fine a lot of trees come from any nursery and every one who has seen them have said the same. If there is one tree that does not live no fault will be laid upon you.

CHERRY TREES

TH E cherry thrives best on a sandy or gravelly soil, and there attains its highest perfec- tion, but it will do well in any situation except a wet one. It is one of the most orna- mental of all fruit trees. With its delicious and refreshing fruit it is very desirable for planting near the dwelling, where beauty and shade as well as fruit are much sought for and so desirable.

We divide cherries into two classes; “Hearts and Bigarreaus,” and “Dukes and Morellos.’’ The first are strong and vigorous growers, making large, open spreading heads or tops, and are the best suited for the purpose of shade and produce large heart shaped, sweet fruit. The Dukes and Morellos are all of a slower growth, more hardy and less liable to get injured by bursting of the bark. They generally produce acid fruit.

A good bearing orchard 8 to io years old, providing that the fruit sold at the average price, should bring about $450 per acre. The trees begin to bear very young and produce fruit every year, for which there is an abundant market.

ORDER OF RIPENING

The varieties of cherries we offer ripen in the following order :

DUKE AND MORELLO CHERRIES (Sour)

DYEHOUSE— A hardy and valuable cherry. Unquestionably the earliest cherry, ten days earlier than Richmond, fine quality, hts early bearing remarkable as its great hardi- iness. Often bears at two years old, and has the appearance of being covered with a scarlet cloth, such is the abundance of the fruit. Has the smallest pit of any cherry known ; a splendid keeper and free from knots. For tarts, pies, and especially for canning, it has no superiors among cherries. June.

A BASKET OF DYEHOUSE CHERRIES MAY DUKE CHERRY— This is is one of the good old standbys which has been so popular for many years in the past, both in the East and West, where it has been largely planted and where it has rewarded the plant- er by large crops of profitable fruit. The color of this cherry gradually changes from a bright red to nearly black when fully. ripe. The flesh is red, becoming dark purple later; is very juicy and melting, rich, acid and of superior quality. It must remain on the tree until fully ripe in order to develop its best character. Season very early. The tree is very hardy and adapted to all localities.

Duke and Morello Cherries (Continued)

MONTMORENCY— (See cut on opposite page.) King of the hardy cherries. Large, bright, shining red, acid, late, valuable. Hardy and productive. Canning houses demand this variety. You cannot make a mistake in planting it. “For home use and market the Montmorency is valuable.” It is a safe, reliable, worthy favorite. More money has been made with Montmorency than with any other. No one sees a glut in the market of the large showy Montmorency. Eighty per cent, of our new' orchard will be Montmo- rency. We have grown hundreds of bushels. The Montmorency brings twice the usual price in market. Plant Montmorency.

Montmorency Cherry is not surpassed in value by any other cherry in the world. It ripens rather late in the season when cherries are scarce. The past season I saw a row of Montmorency cherry trees planted by the roadside. These trees were branched low, which makes picking easy with short ladders. The trees were so densely filled with the bright red fruit they were as handsome as rose bushes. I never before saw such a beautiful sight in the way of cherries. This cherry and all cherries are attracting more attention each year. Cherry orchards are found to be profitable. There is no more attractive tree for the home ground than the cherry in bloom and fruit.

EARUY RICHMOND CHERRIES

EARLY RICHMOND CHERRY — This is a hardy cherry, fruiting on young trees soon after planting. We have at Green’s fruit farm quite an orchard of Early Richmond cherry trees that are heavily loaded with fruit almost every year. The fruit does not rot upon the trees, and can be left without picking longer than most varieties. The trees bear fruit regu- larly each year, and the orchard has been highly profitable. We allow the trees to branch near the ground so that it will net require long ladders to gather the fruit. This is a great convenience. By driving a wagon between the rows a large amount of fruit can be picked from the platform of such wagon. Early Richmond is a great favorite throughout the West and Northwest, where only hardy varieties succeed. The tree is a free grower ; hardy, healthy and very productive. One of the best. “If I could plant but one cherry it would be Early Richmond,” says American Agriculturalist. For Illinois, Early Richmond can be relied upon for market. It is a safe, reliable, worthy favorite. Fruit, medium size, round, dark red flesh, melting, juicy and acid, unsurpassed for hardiness and cooking pur- poses, a great bearer. June.

Cherry Orchards are Veritable Gold Mines.

One of the large orchard companies of the middle west writes as follows:

“No fruit crop brings larger or better returns than cherries, and it is strange that they are not mere largely planted commercially. They will thrive and produce under more careless cultivation than any other fruit we know, yet they respond quickly to care and should be cultivated at least until the time when they come into bearing.

Small fruits, gooseberry, currant, raspberry, black- berry, etc., can be planted profitably between the rows in your cherry orchard and will easily take care of the expense of your orchard, and more until your trees come into bearing. This plan is being followed in many cherry regions. We recommend it.”

ENGLISH MORELLO CHERRY

ENGLISH MORELLO — Without doubt one of the most valuable of this class. English Morello is late and much liked by canning establishments. It is one of the few varieties that se ms to succeed well with neglect. Birds do not bother it, May bugs shun it, rot is unknown to it, and all in all it is one of the safest cherries to plant. Easily grown, generally producing a heavy crop. Fruit, dark red ; quality good, with a rich acid flavor. Tree very' hardy and recommended for extremely cold latitudes.

Early Richmond, Montmorency and English Morello make a very fine combination of varieties to plant. They ripen in the order named above wflth ample time between the season for ripening of each, to enable growers to harvest each variety to the best advantage.

OSTHEIM — A large and hardy Russian cherry ; has been tested and found valuable ; has done remarkably well in this state, Kan- sas, Minnesota and elsewhere. It is the latest of all cherries, always holds its fruit, and is invariably large, productive and good in every way. The great cherry for the West. One of the best and most profitable sorts. A moderate grower, bears early, is very pro- ductive ; fruit large, liver-colored, juicy, rich, almost sweet.

LATE DUKE — Large; light red ; late and excellent. End of July.

CENTENNIAL CHERRY— A large, light colored sweet cherry ; flesh very firm, thus making it one of the most valuable of the sweet varieties for shipping. Resembles Na- poleon in appearance, of which it is a seed- ling, but it is larger and more oblate in form. Tree a handsome grower. Its sweetness is very pronounced, being exceedingly sugary.

HEARTS AND BIGGAREAUS (Sweet)

GREEN’S BEACK TARTARIAN CHERRY

GREEN’S TARTARIAN CHERRY — Fruit of the largest size, frequently measuring an inch in diameter ; flesh dark, half tender, with a peculiar liver-like consistency, rich, nearly destitute of acid, of fine flavor. The vigorous growth and great productiveness of the tree, and the large size and mild, sweet flavor of the fruit, render this variety a general favorite. This grand reliable sweet cherry is a great favorite. You should not fail to plant Green’s Tartarian black cherry. Good for eating fresh from tree, canning and market. In front of our Rochester house are two trees which are a wonder to all who see them. They never fail to bear a heavy crop of fine fruit. The trees are forty years old. They have reached an age when most cherry trees begin to fail and to become unproductive, but these trees are as productive as in their earlier years. A notable peculiarity of the fruit upon these trees is that it remains on the trees in an eatable condition for nearly three wTeeks. I have never known cherries to remain so long upon the trees. The fruit from these trees sells in the market more readily than any other fruit we are acquainted with. It is accepted by our market-men as the Black Tartarian. It has much the same appearance as the Black Tartar- ian, and yet we have never known that good old variety to remain so long in perfect con- dition upon the trees, which is a desirable feature in prolonging the season for family use. We call it Green’s Tartarian Cherry, not to indicate that it is a new variety, but to indicate that it is what we represent it to be — a superior strain of the Black Tartarian. — First of July.

YELLOW SPANISH— Large, pale yellow, with a bright red cheek in the sun ; flesh firm, juicy and delicious ; one of the best, most beautiful and popular of all light colored cherries. Tree erect, vigorous and product- ive. End of June.

SCHMIDT’S BIGARREAU— Fruit large, deep mahogany color; flesh dark, tender, juicy, fine flavor. First of July.

WINDSOR BRACK CHERRY

NAPOLEON BIGARREAU (Royal Atm)- Is one of the best of the firm-fleshed Cher- ries, it is one of the largest size, often meas- uring an inch in diameter; well flavored, handsome and productive; skin pale yellow, becoming amber in the shade, richly dotted with deep red, and with a fine marbled, dark crimson cheek; flesh very firm, juicy, with a good flavor; profitable for marketing. June.

GOVERNOR WOOD — A rich and deli- cious large red cherry that hangs well on the tree. Very popular. June. Its color is clear bright red. It is tender, delicious and hangs well on the tree. This is one of those famous varieties that has made cherry growing pop- ular. The tree itself is an ornament for any home, owing to its shade and beautiful blos- soms, and the beauty of its fruit, to say noth- ing of the charms of fruit itself for eating.

MONEY IN CHERRIES-Out in Oregon they have a cherry orchard which last year gave a crop worth $1,100 an acre. The same man had a peach orchard three years old which returned $800 an acre. — Scientific Farmer.

BING CHERRY — So large in size as to be mistaken for plums. This new and superior sweet cherry originated near Portland, Ore- gon, is one of very large size, almost black in color when ripe, of fine quality, very pro- ductive, a good shipper.

LAMBERT CHERRY (new) — One of the largest of all sweet cherries. So far produc- tive. Color, dark red; flesh, solid; an ex- cellent shipper. Its season being late makes it especially desirable.

Pi of. H. B. Van Deman says as regards Ping and Lambert Cherries: “They will be

entirely successful any where that sweet cheiries succeed. Their fruit is larger and more solid than most cherries of their class. I recommend my friends to plant these varieties. ’ ’

WINDSOR CHERRY— Tree upright, vigorous and rapid grower; leaves large. Fruit large, roundish, oblong, very firm, juicy, mottled red; flesh pinkish, sometimes streaked. Quality good, heavy bearer. It hangs a long time and does not rot badly. No cherry of recent years has attracted more attention, owing to its large size, beautiful, dark color, almost black; its firmness; itS qualifications as a shipper, and its excellent eating qualities. The variety has been recommended by Willard and others of the most prominent fruit growers of the country.

Gentlemen: I have had such success with all your goods that I am willing to pay you

considerably more than your catalog prices, if you will agree to furnish me with all the trees I want. The Pennsylvania State Orchard Inspectors compliment me upon the splendid con- dition of these trees I bought from you in the spring of 1910.

PLUM TREES

PLUMS and prunes are indispensable for the home garden and orchard and have proven to be a source of large income to the commercial orchardist.

There should be six or more plum trees in every garden or orchard. Plums are not difficult to cultivate, and they are among the hardiest of our orchard fruits. Taking all into consideration, the best soil for plums is a loose, deep, gravelly loam, with an open sub-soil, such as is suited for apples or potatoes, although almost any soil may be used provided it is well drained.

The trees can be planted much closer together than apple or pear, and yet in field culti- vation it is not best to crowd any kind of fruit trees; but in gardens plums will fruit well when planted ten or twelve feet apart. Plum trees bear at an early age. The yield of plums from an acre is surprising. Plum trees are usually planted when two years old from the bud, although some of the strong growing kinds, Burbank, Abundance and other Japan kinds, especially, may be planted a year old with good results. Plum trees are planted as far apart as peaches; that is, from 15 to 18 feet apart each way. Many growers prefer to plant closer one way than the other, and eventually to stop cultivation in one direction. If this system is used they may be placed 18 or 20 feet apart one way, and from 10 to 12 feet the other way.

Order of Ripening

The varieties of plums we offer ripen in the following order: Red June, Abundance,

Climax, Bradshaw, Moore’s Arctic, Imperial Gage, Shiro, Burbank, Lombard, Shipper’s Pride, Gueii, Reine Claude, Yellow Egg, Coe’s Golden Drop, Wickson’s, Grand Duke Monarch, German Prune, Italian Prune, York State, Shropshire Damson,- Thanksgiving.

ABUNDANCE JAPAN

ABUNDANCE JAPAN PEUM

PLUM — Fruit large, showy, beautiful. Amber, turning to a rich, bright cherry color, with a decided white bloom, and highly perfumed. Flesh light yellow, exceedingly juicy and tender, of a deli- cious sweetness, impossible to describe. Stone small and parts readily from flesh. For canning it is of greatest ex- cellence. Its season is very early, ripening in advance of other plums, thus adding to its special value.

The editor of The Rural New Yorker writes : ‘ ‘ From

one little Abundance tree we picked ten pecks of fruit. The quality is excellent. When fully ripe they are full of juice. The flesh is tender , and there is mingled with the plum a peach flavor that is refreshing and agreeable. ’ ’

OUR PRICES ARE REASONABLE AS CAN BE MADE FOR HIGH CLASS STOCK.

BURBANK PRUM — A HEAVY BEARER

The above photograph was sent to us by a patron who writes as follows :

Green’s Nursery Co., Rochester, N. Y. South Harwich, Mass., Nov. II, 1911.

Gentlemen:— On back of this card notice Burbank Plum trees bought five years ago of you bearing, 2^ to 3^ bushels of plums this year. My crop this year about 50 bushels. My Bombard trees bought of you two years ago have quite a few plums on them. — Yours very truly, H. R. Crowell.

THE BURBANK PLUM

Burbank is one of the best of Japan Plums. Unsurpassed for beauty and productiveness, as well as great hardiness of tree, with a foilage so perfect as to contribute in an essential degree to its health. Fruit large, oval, often with a slight neck; skin reddish purple ; flesh yellow, juicy and good. Its beauty and value as a market variety is unsurpassed.

It ripens later than Abundance. There are few or none of the Japanese plums so far generally tested, that have proven of so much worth as the Burbank. It is an abundant bearer, and several years’ trial has proved it to be hardy in almost the entire United States.

Burbank Plums are making a good record over a large extent of this country, even in the Rocky Mountain region. They bear abundantly at an early age. The fruit is exceedingly beautiful, of fair quality, and is especially desirable for canning. These Japan Plum trees bear so abundantly they overflow the market during a season when plum orchards are bearing heavy crops. The Japan plums do not rot so easily at Green’s fruit farm as the other varieties. We can pick them a week before fully ripe. They have the faculty of ripening up nicely after being thus early picked, and are not so liable to rot when picked so early.

YORK STATE) PRUNE

( The large white object in the tray is an egg. This shows the unusually large size of this variety of plum. )

YORK STATE is one of the largest, best in quality and most productive of all prunes or plums. Size large ; color dark blue, covered with purple blush ; flesh yellow and delicious ; freestone, ripening the last week in September, at Rochester, N. Y. It is a seedling of the German Prune and has been sold by these Germans for German Prune to Buffalo fruit buyers in large quantities at profitable prices. It resembles Fellemberg more than it does German Prune. York State Prune is a vigorous grower, and is healthy and hardy here at Rochester. A former president of the American Association of Nurserymen writes: “The York State Prune is unquestionably a seedling of German Prune. It is larger than German Prune, resembling in size more nearly the Fellemberg. It is prune shaped, good size and a splendid seller.” Sept.

GERMAN PRUNE — Medium oval purple or blue, juicy, rich, fine. Tree vigorous and very productive, One of the best. Septem- ber. Sells for higher prices in market on account of high quality. A leading favorite. There is no easily grown fruit that gives greater or more certain profit than the Ger- man Prune.

NIAGARA PLUM— This plum has be- come exceedingly popular through Western New York, where it originated. It is a very early plum, and valuable for this reason. It is red, large size, making an attractive ap- pearance in market, and possesses good shipping qualities. It bears enormous crops of fruit with great regularity. No one will be disappointed in planting the Niagara plum, either for home use or for market. The tree is an upright grower, vigorous and healthy.

GUEII — (Blue Magnum Bonum) — This is one of the newer varieties originating in New York State. Season of ripening rather late. The color is dark purple. The flesh is firm, sub-acid and agreeable. Size large. It would be difficult to select a larger or more attractive plum for the garden or orchard than this. A leading plum grower of Geneva, New York, picked and marketed in one season 40,000 eight pound baskets of plums. September.

SHIPPER’S PRIDE — Large, dark purple, very showy, often measuring two inches in diameter ; fine, juicy and sweet. A beautiful and valuable variety. Sept.

NIAGARA PlyUM

SHIRO — (Japan) — A strong grower, wood hardy and wiry, ripening early. Fruit is pro- duced in profusion, medium to large, clear light yellow with thin white bloom, so trans- parent the pit can be seen through the flesh which is firm, juicy, rich, pleasant and sub-acid.

IMPERIAL GAGE — Large, pale green, juicy, sweet, rich and excellent. Aug.

COES GOLDEN DROP (or Silver Prune) — Large yellow; a great fa\orite. Season late. September.

SHROPSHIRE DAMSON PLUM— This Damson is being planted by the thousand. Growers have not been able to furnish enough trees to supply the demand, in such esteem is it held by those who are looking for big returns for labor and money invested.

The Shropshire Damson is a splendid mar- ket plum. It is a small, blue plum, and rather coarse to suit the writer’s taste, but it sells well and is a prolific bearer. This is the best of the Damsons. These are small- ish plums, produced in thick clusters or groups, almost hiding the branches from view. It is highly prized for canning and for preserving. The tree is not a rapid grower in the nurseries and is difficult to propagate, therefore trees are always in short supply.

YELLOW EGG — Very large, egg shaped, productive ; excellent for cooking. Aug.

LOMBARD PLUM. Hardy and Productive — Lom- bard is a great favorite for the following reasons: The

tree adapts itself to any locality ; it is extremely hardy , producing good crops where many varieties will not grow ; it is a strong growing tree — trees on our grounds five years of age being as large again as some varieties planted the same year ; it is exceedingly productive. My experience has been that it outyields most other varieties, and yet all varieties of plums are remarkably productive. It is net equal to some varieties in quality, yet it is enjoyable eaten out of hand, desirable for can- ning and other domestic purposes. The fruit usually hangs so thick on the limbs that we are compelled to thin out one half. The more you thin it, the larger, brighter and better the remaining fruit will be. It is a handsome reddish plum, flesh yellow, juicy and pleasant. It is an excellent variety, and should be planted in all gardens and orchards. It can be relied upon for a crop often when some other varieties fail. Aug.

BRADSHAW PLUM — A very large and fine early plum, dark violet red, juicy and good. Trees erect and vigorous ; very productive ; valuable for market. The tree is very hardy and vigorous. As regards product- iveness it is unequaled by any plum we have ever fruited. To produce the finest fruit, heavy thinning should be practiced. The quality is excellent, and it is destined to become one of the most popular of all plums for can- ning, while its attractive color, good quality and shipping properties will cause it to be sought for as a market variety. It ripens ten days to two weeks later than Abundance. This plum resembles Niagara in size, color and general good qualities. It is becoming better known each year, and it is a grand variety, and no collection is complete without it.

BRANCH OF LOMBARD PRUM

RED JUNE JAPAN PLUM— A vigorous hardy, upright spreading tree, as productive as Abundance ; fruit medium to large, deep vermilion-red, with handsome bloom, very showy ; flesh light lemon-yellow, slightly sub-acid, of good and pleasant quality ; half cling ; pit small. Of immense value for its very early ripening. It is best in quality of any of the early Japanese varieties and is exceptionally free from rot. Tree strong and spreading, immensely productive and comes into bearing in two or three years.

CLIMAX — Abundantly productive of its very large, heart shaped fruits, which are a deep rich red, fragrant, sweet fleshed and fine in every way. One of the earliest of all plums to ripen. The tree is strong, thrifty and hardy. Large Japan variety. July.

REINE CLAUDE — (Bavay’s Green Gage) Very large, greenish, fine flavor. Not sur- passed in quality, beauty and size. Sept.

GRAND DUKE — Color of Bradshaw ; fruit very large, of fine quality, free from rot ; very productive. Tree moderate grower, one of the best, largest size. Last Sept.

WICKSON — (Japan) — Fruit remarkably handsome, very large, long, heart shaped, color deep maroon red, covered with white bloom ; flesh firm and meaty, yellow, rich and aromatic ; cling , pit small. Tree an upright vigorous grower. Excellent keeper and shipper, is being planted largely for market. Early Sept.

PEAR TREES

Both Standard and Dwarf

THE cultivation of this fruit is rapidly extending as its value is appreciated and the demand is increasing every year, making pears one of the most profitable 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 gives it rank above all other fruits, excepting the grape.

STANDARD PEAR TREES — Are budded on pear roots and attain a greater height than dwarf pears. They are supposed to be longer lived and are better adapted to large permanent orchards.

DWARF PEAR TREES — Are budded on quince roots, and on account of their dwarf habits are especially suited to small orchards, fruit yards and gardens. Although they do not bear as much as standards, tree for tree, their dwarf habit enables them to be planted much closer, consequently the crop produced acre for acre, of dwarfs and standards, would be about equal. They bear fruit at once after planting, little trees 3 to 4 feet high in the nursery row often bearing big loads of beautiful fruit. A very desirable form in which to plant these dwarf pear trees is a DWARF PEAR HEDGE, as described on one of the following pages.

the world and good for canning also.” It is large and handsome and the tree is very productive.

The Kieffer has many admirers on account of its great productiveness each year, splen- did growth and selling well in market. For the home market it will be a favorite for

BARTLETT PEAR— Standard and Dwarf — A vet- eran fruit grower near Roch- ester, N. Y., has planted 5,000 Bartlett pear trees. They may be kept in cold storage, and sold when there is no other fruit in the mar- ket. They can be grown about as cheap as apples. Dwarf Bartlett pears in C. A. Green’s garden only 5 feet high were filled with beauti- ful specimens. What the Concord is among grapes, the Baldwin among apples, the Crawford among peaches, is the Bartlett among pears. It is the most popular pear, both for home use and mar- ket, that the world has ever known. It is buttery and mel- ting, with a rich flavor. The tree is vigorous in growth. Many people remove half of the fruit in August, ripening this for market, thus reliev- ing the tree of its strain and securing larger fruit from that which remains on the tree. As the Bartlett is liable to overbear, nearly half of the fruit should be remov ed early in the season when about the size of a hickory If this is done and the trees are kept in cultivated soil and well fertilized, they will hear profitable crops of the finest speci- mens. All pears should be picked before fully ripe to secure best qualities. Season September.

WHAT A BANKER SAYS ABOUT US

canning. Some like the fruit for eating out of hand. Everybody admires the tree, which is as good an ornamental tree as ever graced a lawn or dooryard. One fruit grower said : “Owing to the question of quality he

thought it would not sell, but the past sea- son buyers ran after him and sought the Kieffer.’’ Its looks sell it. The fruit hangs on well, is not liable to be blown off, and is good to handle because it is hard when fit to pick.

PEAR TREES— Both Standard and Dwarf (continued)

FLEMISH BEAUTY

FLEMISH BEAUTY — Standard and Dwarf. — A large beautiful, melting, sweet pear. Tree very hardy, vigorous and fruit- ful ; succeeds well in most parts of the country. Needs an open sunny location on well drained soil for best results. Those who have not eaten Flemish Beauty pears have a rich treat in store. Flesh is tender, juicy and highly flavored. — C. A. Green. Season, September and October.

LAWRENCE — Late Winter Pear — Stand- ard and Dwarf. — Size, medium to large, obovate, golden yellow, flesh melting, with a pleasant aromatic flavor. Tree a moderate grower and abundant bearer. I consider this the best long keeping winter pear. — C. A. Green.

CLAPPS FAVORITE PEAR— Standard and Dwarf. — A profitable early variety ; a prolific and early bearer ; does well on quince. Season, August, earlier than Bartlett. This is without doubt the most productive pear in cultivation. Every tree on our grounds, whether in the fence corner or in the cultivated orchard, bears profusely every year. The past season the limbs had to be propped up. Every limb was a veritable rope of pears. A splendid pear resembling the Bartlett and ripening a few days earl- ier ; a cross between Bartlett and Flem- ish Beauty ; the tree is hardy and vigorous, either as standard or dwarf. Care should be taken to pick the fruit ten days before it ripens upon the tree. This is very large, remarkably beauti- ful, and a prolific bearer. No collect- ion is complete without it. Larger than Bartlett and has a handsome red side.

CANS EARLY PEAR— New. - Standard and Dwarf — This valuable summer pear was sent us by the originator, who is an old friend and patron, six years ago. This has given us time to fruit the pear at Green’s fruit farm and to test its merits. Our C. A. Green is greatly pleased with it. It is a valuable early variety of high quality.

Gentlemen : My trees arrived in good shape. They are fine, better than some of my neighbors trees which cost twice the price I paid. I knew how good your trees would be for I bought a lot of you twenty years ago. I picked 2^. bushels of fine Sheldon pears from a tree I bought of you many years ago. I recommend your nurseries for four reasons : First, for fair and square dealing. Second, for fine, good quality trees. Third, for trees being TRUE TO NAME. Fourth, for being so low in price.

PEAR TREES— Standard and Dwarf— (continued)

SECKKlv— VERY PROLIFIC

WILDER EARLY PEAR — Standard and Dwarf. — Pleases all because beautiful, red and yellow. It is a good grower. Sec- ond, it produces a crop early. Two-year grafts at the nursery and trees four years old produce a lot of fruit. Third, the quality of the fruit is the best. Fourth, one does not have to wait until frost to get it. This is the pear that I discovered in Ohio. I am its godfather. I introduced it years ago. It is of better quality than Bartlett. Season early August. C. A. Green.

DUCHESS PEAR— (Duchess d’Angou- leme). — Standard and Dwarf. — The Duch- ess dwarf pear trees give uniformly large crops of pears of marvelous size and good quality. The Duchess is grown more largely than any other, several growers having from three to ten acre orchards, and they find it a profitable fruit. Trees of the Duchess are great yielders, and being vigorous growers are money makers. What the Bartlett pear is as a standard, the Duchess pear is as a Dwarf. The Duchess tree has a vigorous and healthy growth, and bears uniformly heavy crops of large and attractive fruit. There is no pear in existence which outyields the Duchess. The fruit is prized as a des- sert fruit or for cooking. Like all Dwarf pears, it should have the branches of the last season’s growth cut back at least one- half every fall or in the spring before the growth begins.

SECKEL — Standard and Dwarf. — Small size, yellowish russet, with a red cheek ; flesh whitish, buttery ; very juicy and. melting, with a peculiarly rich, spicy flavor and aroma; the richest and finest variety known, and extensively planted all over the country. A most prolific bearer. Sept, and Oct.

WORDEN-SECKEL PEAR - Standard and Dwarf. — This beautiful and delicious pear attracted wide attention when intro- duced recently. In quality it is rated very high. In size it is much larger than Seckel. It is shaped like Bartlett but is not so large as Bartlett. A tree of this beautiful pear is an object of beauty on the home ground when laden with beautiful specimens. But it is when you come to eat the fruit that you get the greatest delight.

A GOOD REPUTATION

This is what Charles A. Green has been work- ing for the past thirty years. When he started this business he found difficulty in selling his trees but as soon as people found that his trees were TRUE TO NAME he could hardly grow enough to supply the demand. We are compelled each year to increase our capacity, our force of laborers and packers to keep pace with our increasing business. “We have heard from our friends that you are reliable and a firm dealing fair and we want your trees,” write many people. “We want your trees, plants and vines because they prove TRUE TO NAME when fruiting.”

A ROW OF 23 PEAR TREES FOR $4.20 C. A. Green Tells You Below What Kind to Plant

Our C. A. Green has discovered the dwarf pear hedge. He found it by noticing that dwarf pear trees in the nursery row, standing three feet apart, bore beautiful specimens of pears bountifully for many years. Mr. Green planted twelve years ago a row of dwarf pear trees, each three feet apart, running across the center of his vegetable garden. These little pear trees have thrived amazingly and have borne bountiful crops each year, and in blossom and fruit have attracted wide attention. This row of dwarf pear hedge, as he calls it, occupies but little room and does not interfere with plowing or cultivating the garden, taking up little more room than a row of corn.

For such a row across the garden C. A. Green advises the following varieties of dwarf pears:

6 Duchess, 4 Seckel, 4 Bartlett, 3 Anjou, 3 Flemish, 3 Wilder Early. These 23 pear trees will occupy one row 69 ft. long, planted 3 ft. apart. We will sell you these 23 trees, first class, medium size, for $4.20. Think of it, a dwarf pear orchard for $4.20. Where can you place your money to better advantage than in buying these 23 pear trees all for $4.20.

PEACH TREES

NO class of fruit is more attractive or desirable for dessert both fresh and canned as the peach. No fruit garden is complete without it.

The ease with which peach trees may be cultivated, their comparative freedom from disease, the short period before they become productive, with the immense demand for the fruit, and the facility with which it may be shipped to distant markets, makes peach growing extremely profitable.

It should be remembered that peaches are all borne on wood of the previous season’s growth, and that this makes it absolutely necessary to prune the trees yearly.

The best authority on peaches in the United States, planted 60,000 Elberta. Why? Because he well knew its value. This most excellent variety will be called for by the thousand.

Orders should be sent in early while our stock is large.

FITZGERALD — Grows similar to Craw- ford and ripens between Early and Late Crawford ; flesh rich, deep golden yellow, with high character ; certainly a very fine peach. The tree commences bearing young, is productive, and in Canada and Michigan has proven one of the hardiest.

ELBERTA PEACH — Unsurpassed as a valuable, large, beautiful peach of good quality. The best orchard vari- ety. Valuable for planting in garden. A friend has planted fifteen acres entirely to Elberta. Elberta is hardier in bud than many varieties, therefore a uniform cropper. Elberta is large, yellow, with red cheek, juicy and high flavored, flesh yellow; freestone. Season medium early, following quick upon Early Crawford.

GREENSBORO — A good, very early, white-fleshed, red-cheeked peach, hardy, productive and a favorite at Green’s fruit farm. The largest and most beautiful colored of all the early varieties.

CRAWFORD’S DATE

CRAWFORD’S LATE— A superb yellow peach, very large, productive, and good; ripens here about the close of the peach sea- son. Season last of September. Not a very late peach — its season is just right. The largest of all the older kinds at Green’s fruit farm. It does not overbear, thus does not need thinning. Its quality is superb.

EARLY RIVERS— Large, creamy white, with pink cheek, juicy and melting. August.

OLD MIXON FREE— Large, yellowish- white, with deep red cheek, tender and juicy, very hardy and productive. Middle Sept.

CRAWFORD’S EARLY— A magnificent large yellow peach of good quality. Tree vigorous and prolific, its size, beauty and productiveness make it one of the most popular varieties. Season beginning of Sep- tember. This valuable peach has long been a favorite for large size, beauty and quality of fruit. Most people when they buy peaches ask for Crawford’s knowing but little about any other variety. In past years this was the earliest peach, but now much earlier kinds are known, hence it is about mid-sea- son in ripening. Everybody who plants peach trees plants Crawford’s Early. It should not be omitted.

CROSBY FROST-PROOF PEACH— A fine, handsome yellow peach with remarkably small pit, that bears regular crops north of the peach belt. Quality delicious; season follows quickly after Early Crawford. Crosby is now so well known that it will be no experiment planting it. It has been planted in nearly all peach-growing states, and is spoken of in the highest terms. Many large orchards of this variety have been planted the past season. The strongest claim for its superiority made over other varieties is the frost proof character of its fruit buds.

BEER’S SMOCK — Fruit medium to large; light orange-yellow, red cheek; rich and juicy. Freestone.

CHAIR’S CHOICE— Deep yellow, red cheek, firm; a few days earlier than Smock. Sept.

HILL’S CHILI — Fruit medium size, ob- long ; skin yellow, shaded with dark red ; flesh yellow, very rich and sweet ; freestone.

CARMAN — Large, oblong, pale yellow with deep blush; skin very tough; tender, juicy and fine flavor; very hardy, and heavy cropper. August.

CHAMPIO N — Fruit, large, sweet, rich and juicy; skin creamy white, with red cheek, free stone and a good shipper. Ripens early. Hardy and productive.

CRAWFORD’S EARLY

NIAGARA PEACH— A new variety, but fully tested by extensive orchard planting near Rochester, N. Y. It may be called the new Elberta, since in appearance it is like Elberta. It has the desirable qualities of Elberta with none of its defects. One defect of Elberta is that the foliage is liable to be affected with fungus that causes leaf curl, while the foliage of Niagara peach cannot be surpassed in healthfulness and for its ability to resist fungus, being almost of the character of leather. Another reason is that while Elberta is of good fair quality, Niagara is superb in quality. Niagara ripens one week earlier than Elberta, ripening here September ist. It is free from yellows and leaf curl. Prof. Van Deman says: “I have heard the Niagara peach spoken of in the highest terms. Those who have

fruited it are enthusiastic over Niagara peach. I have seen and eaten Niagara. It is of large size, beautiful, and better in quality than Elberta.”

QUINCE TREES

THE Quince is well known and highly esteemed for cooking and preserving. It thrives best in a deep, rich soil, and is benefited by clean, high cultivation. It is improved by the application of manure as a mulch.

It is not difficult to grow quinces in abundance. It pay$ well to grow quinces. No kind of fruit is more certain to produce crops. If quinces are grown in a single row the trees can be set as near or as far apart as the planter may choose, but in setting an orchard 12 feet apart each way will be found all right, as the distance apart will warrant space for cross- cultivation and harvesting the fruit. The quince is known for its excellence as a canning fruit, for marmalades and jellies. It possesses a flavor peculiar to itself and unknown in all other fruits.

ORDER OF RIPENING

The varieties of Quinces we offer ripen in the following order :

Meech’s, Orange, Rea’s Mammoth, Bourgeat and Champion

PRICES, ALL VARIETIES

First-Class, 4 to 5 feet high, First-Class, 3 to 4 feet high, First-Class, 2 to 3 feet high.

REA’S MAMMOTH

REA’S MAMMOTH — Large, rich golden yellow ; flesh cooks as tender as the apple and without hard spots or cores, flavor deli- cate, imparting an exquisite quince taste and odor to any fruit with which it is cooked ; sure to ripen even in northern latitudes; very hardy and productive. We regard it the best of all quinces. October.

THE BOURGEAT QUINCE bears at an early age, producing large crops of exceed- ingly large and handsome fruit, of a rich golden color. While it ripens soon after the Orange it keeps till midwinter, or it is ready to use at once on maturity. It has proved to be free from leaf blight, the leaves keeping green until killed by frost.

MEECH’S PROLIFIC— Pale, bright orange, wdth a thin fuzz, fruit large and in shape ranges from nearly apple shape to short pear shape somewhat furrowed at the top. Very fragrant, good flavor. Bears young. Productive. Supposed to have orig- inated in Connecticut. Midseason.

CHAMPION — Fruit very large, fair and handsome, surpassing other varieties in this respect; bears abundantly while young; flesh cooks as tender as an apple and without hard spots or cores; flavor delicate imparting an exquisite quince taste and odor to any fruit with w hich it is cooked, and most excellent for making preserves, jellies, marmalades, etc. The trees are vigorous growers and bear heavy crops of superior fruit. It yields fruit on very young trees soon after planting. The fruit keeps well and ships w;ell. Notice that quince trees are scarce this year all over the country. A good keeper.

The above photograph was received from one of our patrons who writes that from these trees, which have but recently been planted, he picked from four to six bushels of fruit per tree.

ORANGE QUINCE, Sometimes called Apple Quince — Large, roundish, bright golden yellow, cooks tender and is of very excellent flavor. Valuable for preserves or flavoring, very productive, the most popular and extensively cultivated of the old varieties. The surface only moderately fuzzy. Fruit variable in size and shape, but in the ideal or original form is distinctly flattened at both ends, like an apple. K very one is acquainted with the Orange quince, a good old variety that never disappoints the planter — good for home use

and for market, and more largely planted than any other variety. Its large, golden yellow fruit of fine quality is to be seen in more or less quantities in nearly every gar- den or orchard every season, as it rarely fails to produce a crop.

The quince never suffers from late frosts, as it is so late in blossoming that there is no danger from that source. If the quince trees have been Sprayed often enough there is sure to be a paying crop every year, which commends it to the average farmer more than a fruit which only brings a crop one year in three.

It is not difficult to grow quince trees and have an abundance of this fruit. Its price is always a paying one, and no kind of fruit is more certain to produce a full crop. A quince orchard in blossom the first of June is a beautiful sight, and hardly less so are the same trees loaded with their golden fruit in September and October.

NUT TREES

NUT culture in the United States is in its infancy. Great strides are being made both in the number of nut trees planted and the improvement in variety and quality.

Most farms contain land that would pay better' planted in nut bearing trees than in anything else; the nuts, in many cases, paying better than farm crops or fruit, while the trees are growing into valuable timber,

Herbert W. Collingwood, editor Rural New Yorker, in the issue of December 25, 1909, says: “Nut growing is a business which I cm sure is to be a great feature of future farming. We are to get a good share of muscle making food from trees. Prices of meat are soaring, and thousands of people find each year that they can keep up their strength and do more and better work when they substitute nuts for meat in part or entirely. I am not try ing to argue for vegetarianism but merely stating facts. The demand for nuts is sure- to increase. If you plant a nut grove to-day, before it comes in bearing you will find demand ahead of supply. A few men realize what is coming and are interesting themselves in improved varieties of nuts, as hickories, chestnut or pecans.”

AMERICAN SWEET CHESTNUT— It is

a native if the Atlantic coast states, but has come into favor so much that it is planted North and in some of the Western States with success. It succeeds best if transplanted when young. We have several rows that bore a good crop when five years old, and we have no hesitancy in stating that it would be one of our best paying crops had we enough in bearing to make marketing necessary: Price of trees 3 to 4 feet, 30c

each, $2.50 per 10.

HAZELNUT (Filbert)— This is the sort usually sold in the fruit stores. Price of Hazelnut, strong bushes, 30c each, $2.50 per 10.

PECANS — Are hardier than English Wal- nuts, but will not succeed far north. This nut i s very pro- ductive and delicious^ Price of Pecans, 2 to 3 foot trees, 35c each, 1 to 2 ft. 25c each.

BLACK WALNUT— The common . wel- known Black Walnut, the wood of which is most beautiful and valuable. It is very pro- ductive in nuts, which are much liked by many. Price of Black Walnut trees, 5 to 6 feet, 50c each, 4 to 5 feet, 35c each, 3 to 4 feet, 25c each.

BUTTERNUT — A fine native tree pro- ducing a large longish nut, which is prized for its sweet, oily, nutritious kernel. Price o f Butternut trees, 3 to 4 feet, 35c each,

$3 per 10, 2 to 3 feet 30c each,

$2.50 per 10.

JAPAN WALNUT, (Sieboldi) — Perfectly hardy, rapid grower, handsome form, im- mense leaves; bears young and abundantly; one of the finest ornamental trees. Nuts produced in clusters ; resembles butternut in shape and quality ; smaller with smooth and thinner shell. Worthy of extensive planting. Price, 4 to 5 feet, 50c each.

ENGLISH OR PERSIAN WALNUT—

One of the largest, most delicious, meaty and desirable nuts. Not entirely hardy, but trees are bearing nuts in open ground at Rochester, N. Y. It is safe to plant it as far north as Philadelphia, Pa. Price 2 to 3 feet, 50c each.

GRAPE VINES

IN PLANTING FOR THE HOME DO NOT OMIT THE SMALL FRUITS.

NIAGARA HARDY WHITE GRAPE — Popular everywhere. Bunch very large and hand- some, often shoulder- ed, compact; berries large, round; skin, thin, tough, does not crack and carries well, has not much pulp when fully ripe, melt- ing, sweet, with a fla- vor and aroma peculi- arly its own, and agreeable to most tastes; ripens with Concord, sometimes a little earlier. Vine very vigorous and Niagara GRAPE productive, succeed-

ing well in all sections. Is largely planted by vineyardists. Price of 2 year old vines, 10c. each, 80c. per 10, $5 per 100, $35 per 1,000.

BRIGHTON. — Its remarkable vigor and hardiness of vine, large compact bunches, rich wine shade of the ripened berry, delicate skin, tender, almost seedless pulp, sugary juice and rich flavor, are combined qualities that are not united to such a degree in any other sort with which we are acquainted. Price : strong 2-year vines, 15c each, $1.25 per 10, $7.50 per 100, $60 per 1,000.

DIAMOND WHITE GRAPE-This

is our choice in white grapes. It is an excel- lent variety for those having only a small gar- den or those desiring to plant for market. In growth of vine it is marvelous and seems adap- ted to all locali- ties where grapes are grown. It is a diamond among grapes. Extremely hardy ; vine a vigorous grower ; foliage large and healthy.

Very prolific in bearing ; cluster large and handsome. Price: Strong 2-year vines,

15c each, $1.25 per 10, $10.00 per 100.

WORDEN GRAPE— If you fail to plant Worden grape you will make a mistake.

When it was first introduced it was claimed to be the same as Concord, since it resembles Concord in many respects. It is, however, much earlier than Concord in ripening and larger in sifce of berry. Its earliness of ripening is a strong point over Concord. It will not ship so well as Concord but for home use I know of no grape of greater value.

Everyone plants it. It is an enormous cropper and its vines are vigorous enough to ripen such crops. Worden is ripe and gone before Concord comes in. It is an early black grape, very large in cluster and berry, of good quality. Price : strong vines, 2-year,

10c each, 80c per 10, $5 per 100, $35 per 1000.

GRAPE VINES (continued)

'CONCORD— Monarch of Hardy Grapes

CONCORD GRAPE— This hardy black grape is decidedly the most popular grape in America, and deservedly so. Bunch large, shouldered, compact, berries large, covered with a rich bloom : skin tender, but suffici- ently firm to carry well to distant markets ; flesh juicy, sweet pulp, tender ; vine a strong grower, very hardy, healthy and productive, For general cultivation the most reliable and profitable variety. Price : 2 year, 10c each, 80c per 10, $5 per 100, $35 per 1,000.

REGAL LONG KEEPING RED GRAPE

— If you want the longest keeping grape, one that you can eat during fall and winter months, plant the Regal. Its quality is equal to Catawba or Ulster. Regal grape keeps well owing to its tough skin and persistent nature, keeping in fine condition late in the season. I believe it will be a good shipper. Price of 2-year old vines, 10c. each, 80c. per 10, $5 per 100.

RFD CROSS

RED CROSS CURRANT is sweet. It is natural to connect sourness with all red currants, since, as a rule, red currants are exceedingly acid, but Red Cross currant is an exception to the ordinary rule, being the sweetest currant ever produced. In making currant jellies or in preparing currants in other ways , remember the Red Cross currant requires only half the sugar that any other currant requires owing to its natural sweetness and fine flavor.

Prof. Maynard of Amherst College, Mass, says, Red Cross currant averages larger than Fay’s Prolific and is more vigorous; Jacob Moore says, it is twice as large as Victoria, will yield twice as much as Cherry and is of better quality than any of the older varieties. He says that the clusters are longer, and that the size of the berry holds out larger to the end of the cluster than Fay.

PRICE OF RED CROSS

Strong 2-year old No. 1 bushes 75 cents per 10, $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000.

Strong 2-year old No. 2 bushes and strong 1-year old No. 1 bushes 60 cents per 10; $5.00 per 100 ; $40.00 per 1000.

FAY'S PROLIFIC — Originated in Chautauqua County, N. *Y. A cross between Cherry and Victoria. Of large size, fine flavor and claimed to be twice as prolific as Cherry; red in color. Universally commended by those who have seen or had experience with it.

PRICE OF FAY’S PROLIFIC

Strong 2-year old No. 1 bushes 60 cents per 10 ; $5.00 per 100 , .$45.00 per 1000,

Strong 2-year old No. 2 bushes 50 cents per 10 ; $4.00 per 100 ; $35.00 per 1000.

WILDER — A remarkable variety, for which we predict a great popularity, both for table and market. One of the strongest growers and most productive. Bunch and berries very large, bright, attractive red color, even when dead ripe ; hangs on the bushes in fine con- dition for handling as late as any known variety. Ripens at the same time as Fay’s.

W. C. Barry says Di- ploma currant is large, solid and of good qual- ity. It will be valuable for its size and solidity.

Prof. H. B. Van De- man says: Diploma Currant was exhibited by Jacob Moore at the Pan Am., 1901. I wras a judge of the first ex- hibit there, it was my duty and pleasure to examine carefully five baskets of this currant, sent at different dates for a month, some on branches as grown. Diploma cun ant is of attractive appearance, both clusters and ber- ries being very large. The quality is good. It is a currant of un- usual promise.

GOOSEBERRY BUSHES

DOWNING GOOSEBERRY is the largest and best of all native American varieties. This valuable variety originated with Charles Downing, greatest of all pomologists. The value of Downing lies in its large size, fine quality, beautiful appearance, vigorous growth, and freedom from mildew. It is recommended as proof against mildew. Downing is free from spines, of a transparent color, tending to yellow ; bush upright, keeping the fruit from the sand. Downing is enormously productive. Since plants of Downing can be produced in America, and plants of foreign varieties cannot, Downing plants can be sold at a lower price, which is another inducement for planting. An acre of Downing can be made to yield $500. It is unsurpassed for canning. It is easily harvested by stripping the branches with a gloved hand, enabling the picker to gather many bushels in a day. The winnowing of leaves is done by an ordinary fanning mill, the same as beans. They can be shipped from Maine to California like marbles. — C. A. Green. Price of Downing Gooseberry: 2-year- old bushes, first-class, 12c each, $1 per 10, $8 per 100. 1-year, strong, well rooted, 8c each, 70c per 10, $6 per 100.

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 most free from mildew, both in leaf and fruit, of them all. A wonderful cropper.

While there is no nur- sery in this country which has a larger num- ber of varieties of trees and plants, we have re- funded for the varieties that we could not supply to patrons each year money sent us for trees etc. to the extent of $40,000 since *we began business over thirty j^ears ago. This refund- ing of money is an evidence of our integrity, for there are many nurseries who would have filled all these orders by putting wrong labels to the trees. If we had done such a rascally thing we would have had in our treasury now $40,000 more money, for we have re- funded much money for apples when we had apple trees for sale, and much money for pear trees when we had many pear trees left over to burn.

PI/UM FARMER

PLUM FARMER BLACK RASPBERRY.— This very larg;e and productive black rasp- berry has been thoroughly tested in western New York where it is a great favorite for market or home use. It is covered with a grayish bloom, like the bloom on a grape, which makes it very attractive in appearance. It ripens early and quickly. The fruit is of enormously large size, often measuring an inch in diameter. It sells at the highest price. Black rasp- berries are easily grown and produce fruit in abundance. The berries are delightful when made into pies or preserved. Don’t fail to plant the black raspberry. A fruit grower of

national reputation says of this variety, “I feel very grateful to you that you introduced the Plum Farmer Raspberry. I bought loo of you three years ago and have fruited it twice and have an acre of them to fruit this year. It is the greatest raspberry on earth.” Price 50c. per 10, $2 per 100, $15 per 1,000.

KANSAS BLACK RASPBERRY— Is of

the largest size, vigorous, healthy and pro- ductive. It is a leading favorite at Green’s fruit farm. When I was a boy I delighted to gather the wild black raspberries, but in those days I never met with any thing like the Kansas. Fruit is large and excellent in quality. We have fruited it several seasons and find it an excellent variety. — C. A. Green. Price : 50c. per 10, $2 per 100, $12.00 per 1,000.

I wish to let you know that I received my plants and I am very much pleased with them, they are all in very good shape and a lot better than what I expected to receive. Two of my neighbors sent to other nurseries at the same time I sent to you, but my plants are away ahead of theirs. They are about three times the size and in better condition, so I still stick to what I told them that there is only one nursery, GREEN’S.

Very truly yours, F. A. Drislan.

GREEN’S ROCHESTER TREES MEAN QUALITY.

This is the largest and most productive of all red raspberries. It is very hardy, fiever requiring protection at Rochester, N. Y., though the thermometer has gone down to twenty degrees below zero. It is also a vigorous grower and continues to fruit .during six weeks of summer, from July first to the middle of August.

It does not.sucker freely, therefore it has taken us many years to secure a supply of plants. This is greatly in its favor since its vitality goes to the production of fruit and not to useless suckers. The quality is of the highest character. Its color is a beautiful bright crimson ; its flesh is firm. It is double the size of Cuthbert and remains much longer in bearing. Do not expect a low price for plants, since it is hard to propagate, multiplying very slowly.

C. A. Green says that this is the greatest and most valuable raspberry the world has ever seen. It is the largest of all bright red raspberries. Its flavor is of the highest grade. It is remarkably attractive and continues in bearing for over a month, but best of all it is perfectly hardy in Rochester during the most severe winters we have known.

Price 20c for each strong well rooted plant, or $1.50 for 10 plants, $10.00 per 100.

ELDORADO— BEST HARDY BLACKBERRY

ELDORADO BLACKBERRY — The hardiest and sweetest blackberry at Green’s fruit farm ; this variety has never winter-killed or failed to produce a full crop of the finest fruit. The vines are very vigorous and hardy. Berries are very large, jet black, borne in large clus- ters, and ripen well together; are very sweet, melting, pleasing to the taste, have no hard core, and keep eight to ten days. C. A. Green. Price, 60c per 10, $3 per 100, $20 per 1,000.

SNYDER BLACKBERRY-This popular, hardy and profitable blackberry is known everywhere and planted largely. Where other varieties have entirely failed it proved itself entirely hardy. It is also grown in localities where hardiness is not the first consideration because of its productiveness and general adaptability to all locations. It is the blackberry for every fruit grower desiring to make a start in blackberries, who has not the means to buy the high priced varieties. Keep the soil rich with barnyard manure and wood ashes and no one will complain of the size of the Snyder. We have grown it for twenty years and shall continue to plant it, as it gives a good picking where many other varieties have failed. This is the standard early sort for the North and North- west, and is very popular. This was the first of the hardy kinds that made a sensation over the country. With good culture it is large enough to satisfy all. The severest frost does not bite it. Season early; oblong oval in form ; quality good. Price, 50 cents per 10, $2 per 100, $15 per 1,000.

STRAWBERRY PLANTS

CORSICAN, biggest berry on earth —

This is C. A. Green’s favorite strawberry. We have sent it out by the hundred thousands to every postoffice from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. It is a great strawberry for many reasons. First, it is the biggest berry; second, it is the brightest and best in color ; third, it is a great yielder, and producer ; fourth, and most important of all, the foliage is exceedingly vigorous and leathery, resist- ing fungus, drought, weed and even neglect of cultivation. All varieties do better when planted near other varieties. This is es- pecially the case with Corsican. Price of Corsican layer plants, 25c per 10, 75c per 100, $6 per 1,000.

SENATOR DUNLAP— At Green’s fruit farm it has no su- perior as an early variety. It is an all around, rough and ready producer, sturdy plant and heavy cropper of best quality berries, with dean, healthy foliage which has no tendency to rust. The berries are very large, roundish conical, regular, with slight neck. In color, they are glossy crimson, with the meat firm and solid, deep crimson throughout, and good in quality. Price of Senator Dunlap, layer plants, 25c per 10, 75c per 100, $6 per 1,000.

BRANDYWINE— A very late and firm berry, a good shipper; good canner ; a good all around strawberry. This straw- berry is being largely planted. In plant it is a luxuriant grower, healthy and very pro- ductive ; blossom perfect, fruit large, of good form, bright red all over, and good quality.

CAROLINA POPLAR

THE NEW LARGE LEAVED CARO- LINA POPLAR takes front rank among the best of poplars. It is one of the most rapid growers among shade trees, frequently growing 8 fe.et during one season and thus making fine avenues in a few years. Its branches spread just enough to give it a symmetrical, commanding form of elegant appearance. It is very desirable at the road- side, in parks, along rivers and streams for the protection of the banks. It has advan- tages over other shade trees because it zvill grow in any kind of soil, swampy or muck , light or heavy. Its roots penetrate the hard- est soil ; it stands all hardships and thrives in places where others fail to live. It is easily started and gives shade in a short time. Don’t forget the Carolina Poplar. For a quickly growing shade tree there is no tree which equals the Carolina Poplar. It is broadly pyramidal in form, very robust in growth, with large, glossy, deep green leaves. It stands the smoke and dust of the city streets better than any other shade tree. Very useful for planting as a screen to shut out unattractive buildings.

HARDY CAT ALP A — (Speciosa) — One of the most showy flowering trees. The flowers have a pleasant fragrance, and a tree in bloom attracts the sense of smell and sight. It makes a beautiful object on the lawn and should be in everyone’s dooryard.

This desirable and attractive tree is now widely known. It is planted for shade, also for its blossoms, and on account of its value as a timber tree. Whole tracts of land have been planted in the West for this purpose, as it is a very rapid grower, and found to be very desirable for railroad ties, etc. Prof. Hussman, of the Missouri State Hort. Society, describes it as follows : “Massive in all its

proportions, straight and rigid, it looks like a production of the tropical zone, yet it seems to be entirely hardy, with its immense leaves, sometimes lobed, velvety brown when they first appear, and changing into dark green ; followed by immense panicles of flowers, containing sometimes between three and four hundred buds and blossoms, con- trasting finely with its dark, massive foliage; it may be truly called a “regal tree.”

EVERGREEN TREES

NORWAY SPRUCE HEDGE — VERY HARDY

NORWAY SPRUCE— This is the most desirable evergreen for all purposes and by far the most popular. It is extremely hardy and will grow on all kinds of soil and under all con- ditions. It is a very rapid grower, pyramidal in form. When the tree reaches a height of 15 or 20 ft. the branches assume a graceful drooping habit which gives it a particularly pleasing effect. For a hedge higher than 4 or 5 ft. it is by all means the most desirable tree to use. These hedges can be grown to any height even up to 20 or 30 ft. An orchard or fruit garden enclosed with an evergreen hedge of this description will in cold states and cold seasons yield double the crop of sound fruit that it would if left exposed to the bleak and cutting blasts of winter. PRICE: Extra Size, 3 to 4 ft. , 35c each, $3 per 10.

Selected, 2 to 3 ft,, 25c each, $2.25 per 10.

Hedging plants (transplanted) 12 to 18 in. $1.25 per 10, $10.00 per 100.

AMERICAN ARBOR VITAE (White Cedar) — This is one of the most desirable evergreens for hedging purposes because it can be trimmed to any size or shape desired. Its growth is not so rampant as to be objection- able and yet it is very hardy and will grow in soils and under conditions where other ornamentals could not live. The foliage is feathery and spray- like, becoming denser after each prun- ing with the shears. This evergreen seems to adapt itself to all locations, but does especially well where the soil is moist. It is used to a great extent planted as a wind-break and as a tall hedge around country property.

CALIFORNIA PRIVET — BEST ORNAMENTAL HEDGE

LIVE-FOREVER ROSE— A hedge row of Live-Forever Roses is a beautiful sight in summer. Imagine a row 500 feet in length containing 500 bushes set 1 foot apart three years ago and each bush showing an average of 1000 buds and blossoms, and you can get some idea of one of our attractive hedge rows last summer. The bush is very hardy, stand- ing our severe winters without any pro- tection. We recommend this with confidence for your hedge. Many of our patrons have planted this hardy sure blooming rose in hundred lots for hedge.

CALIFORNIA PRIVET FOR HEDG- ING— The best of all hardy hedge" plants. The City of Rochester, N. Y., is one of the most beautiful in the world. On almost every lot California Privet hedges are planted to divide one lot from another. This Privet hedge is also planted in front of most houses adjacent to the street. The Privet hedge is easily kept at any height desired. In many cases the hedge is not allowed to grow over 2 feet high ; in other cases the hedge may grow as high as 4 to 6 feet. It has no thorns, does not sucker from the roots and is not objectionable in any way. This hedge holds its foliage nearly all winter. It is almost an evergreen.

A HEDGE of hardy hydrangeas

HARDY HYDRANGEA (Paniculata Grandinora) — We urge our friends to plant the Hy- drangea. Plant it for the following reasons : It is hardy, enduring the severest winters out

doors without protection. It is easily transplanted, not one in a thousand dying ; it never fails to blossom the first year planted ; no matter how small the plant, it immediately buds out in great profusion of flowers, many of them as large as the head of a full grown child. When the specimens first open they are greenish white, later they turn to a pure white, and still later to a delicate pink. The Hydrangea should be cut back at least one-half of each season’s growth in order to get the largest specimens. To get the best results, make the soil

rich, it will grow anywhere and on any soil.

Price 25c each, extra large, 35c each.

GOLDEN LEAVED ELDER— The best of all the colored shrubs. A plant of this bush in a bed, or a border, or on the lawn, is a conspicuous feature, the foliage being as yel- low as gold. Price strong plants, 25c each, $2 per 10.

JAPAN QUINCE (Cydonia Japonica) — A popular and very valuable showy shrub. They are hardy and enduring, and form a beauti- ful bush or hedge. The prevailing and most desirable color, we think, is the deep crim- son. Blossoms in early spring, and produces considerable fruit, which increases its value as an ornamental. Price, strong, 25c each, $2 per 10.

PURPLE LEAVED BARBERRY— A beau- tiful shrub with violet purple foliage; showy, small y el lew flowers, and beautiful red ber- ries in pendulous clusters. Price, strong bushes, 25c each, $2 per 10.

We have pink and white , purple , white , red and pink bloss- oming, all of which are imported and grafted, blossoms being double and fine in every way. One good quality of the Altheas is that they keep their foliage fresh well into autumn, when the leaves of many other shrubs are dried up or blighted by fungus. They are very hardy, easily cultivated, and will bloom until their growth is cut short by frost. Grown in standard form they make good specimens, 8 to 10 feet high, resembling small flowering trees ; planted thickly they are popular for flowering hedges, as they will endure considerable pruning. This should be given in winter. Price, heavily branched, well-rooted bushes, 2% to 4 feet, 25c each, $2 per 10.

It blossoms year after year, or a lifetime, as shown in the above illustration, and its blossoms look like white lily blos- soms. They are pure white, and remain a long time in bloom. Sometimes the blossom stalk is thrown up to the height of 6 feet, making one of the most showy and conspicuous flower- ing plants in existence. Price of strong plants, 25c each, $2 per 10.

OSTRICH PLUME— The New

Ornamental Grass (Eulalia) — Is nearly as beautiful as ostrich plumes when in blossom. Plumes will keep for months or years, dry- ing like feathers.

GOLDEN GLOW— This beautiful yellow blooming perennial plant was unknown to most people until a recent date. I know of no flowering plant that has attained such great popularity in so short a time. In order to be popular, a plant must be able to thrive in all localities without nursing and this is just what Golden Glow does. Like Phlox it stands out doors all winter. The foliage, which dies back every fall, springs up vigor- ously in the spring and grows to the height of 5 or 6 feet. It you do not wish the plants to grow so high, nip them off when they are a foot or two high, and they will branch out lower and be more desirable for certain localities. The blossoms appear in large numbers, hundreds of them on a single plant, and they succeed one another and remain long in bloom, giving the place an animated and brilliant appearance. Don’t fail to plant Golden Glow. Price of strong plants 5c each, 40c per 10.

PAEONIES— ( The Queen of Spring Flowers ) — The Paeony can be planted in the spring or fall. Very popular everywhere, being very hardy in root and more easily cultivated than many flowering plants. No one need pine after the tender Rho- dodendron when Paeonies can be had in abundance and in a variety of colors. Their flowers are very lasting ; some of them are finely finished and exquis- itely colored. Plant in deep, rich, well prepared soil, cover- ing the bulbs but an inch or two.

ROSE BUSHES

HOW easily one can succeed with the Rose. It will grow almost anywhere and under all circumstances. Although it has its likes and dislikes, it will not fail to blossom any- where. It is easily transplanted and commences to blossom a few weeks after plant- ing. It is true that they give best results if planted in a rich loamy soil. We protect ours during the winter by bending the bushes to the earth and covering up the whole bush with strawy litter or covering the bush with evergreens. Pruning should not be overlooked. Roses will blossom from June to November with management For an abundance of early blossoms prune the bush immediately spring opens, and for late flowering the bush should be severely pruned after the June flowering.

Two Year Bushes Ready for Immediate Effect— The bushes we send by express or freight are two year old (mostly on their own roots) and bushes that will blossom the first season. The bushes we send by mail are one year strong or two year nice and ninety- nine out of every hundred should blossom the first season planted.

Out Door Grown Roses — Every rose bush that we send out has been grown out doors and is hardy. They are all dormant ; do not expect roses from us with the foliage on like small indoor roses received from the florists. These hardy roses as grown by us are the ones to plant in the flower bed or beside the house or along the walks. They need no petting and do not need taking up and storing in cellar in winter.

MAGNA CHARTA — C. A. GREEN’S FAVORITE

MAGNA CHARTA — A general favorite, prized on account of its strong, upright growth, and bright, healthy foliage, as well as for its magnificent bloom. The color is beautiful pink, suffused with carmine. This rose is one of Chas. A. Green’s favorites. It is surprising the wealth of blossoms pro- duced by one bush, and a bed or a row of this fine, hardy rose is a delight for an unusually long season. We recommend it as the best large pink rose. Price, 25c each, $2 per 10.

Chas. A. Green plants MAGNA CHARTA Roses as single specimens, in beds, and in rows. It is a grand hardy rose, more prolific in blossom than any other rose.

GENERAL JACQUEMINOT — The lead- ing rose. Deep, brilliant shaded crimson, with large petals, globular with high center. A well known favorite ; one of the best and planted by all who plant roses. Price, 25c each, $2 per 10.

LA FRANCE — Delicate silvery rose ; very large, full flowers, with a faint tea odor.

Cockerels, Pullets, and Eggs for Hatching for Sale

Barred Plymouth Rocks — This breed is as solid as its name and is often called the “Farm- er’s Friend,” the “All Round Fowl,” the “Old Reliable.” It is the bird for business, and deemed by many the best fowl for farm and home raising. It is not only a good layer, but is quick to develop for the early market. As a far sighted farmer once said to us, “When you kill one you’ve got something.”

PRICE OF BIRDS OF ALL BREEDS— Cockerels, $2.50, $3.00 and $5.00 each ; Pullets, $2.00, $2.50 and $3.00 each ; Trios, $6.00, $8.00, $10.00. Whatever price you pay I will see that you get good value.

C. A. GREEN, Prest. Green’s Nursery Co.

Single Comb Brown Leghorns — The acknow- ledged queen of the practical egg laying breeds is the Leghorn, when judged by the standard of the greatest number of marketable eggs produced at least cost. Not only are the hens persistent layers, but they are extremely active foragers and waste no time in setting. Like a good milch cow they put little fat upon their bones, but devote all sur- plus nourishment to steady production. They eat less than the heavy breeds, but whatever they con- sume is put to good purpose.

PRICE OF EGGS FOR HATCHING FOR BOTH BREEDS — From good breeding pens, $1.00 per 13; from our best breeding pens, $2.00 per 13. While we do not guarantee the fertility of our eggs we are willing to replace all settings from which the purchasers receive less than six chicks, at half the price paid.

At the recent Poultry Exhibitions at Rochester, N. Y. (the largest ever known here) we took first prize for Single Comb Brown Leghorn Cockerel, first prize for S. C. Brown Leghorn pen of 6 birds, and second prize for S. C. B. Leghorn Pullet.
