To our Friends and Patrons :

In presenting this new and revised edition of our wholesale catalog we wish to thank our many friends for their liberal patronage in the past, and it shall be our constant aim to serve you as faithful and well in the future. To our old customers we feel that we need no recommendation other than the stock they received. Those who have never dealt with us we refer to the unsolicited recommendations from those who have planted our stock.

High-Grade Stock at Wholesale Price . Our 25 years experience in growing and shipping large quantities of a general line of stock enables us to sell strictly high-grade trees at wholesale prices. This experience should be worth considerable to the man who cares for the quality and genuineness of the trees he plants.

Our Prices are as low as is consistent with first class stock. You may find some lower, and you can find a good many higher. If you pay a higher price for your trees than we ask, you are paying for salaried officers that do no actual work, or expensive unnecessary equipment, or for trees not grown by the party you are buying from. Our prices are wholesale, based on the actual cost of producing them by the 100,000 with but one small profit, the Grower’s, added. We will be glad to show you the trees as they grow in the Nursery at any time it is convenient for you to visit us.

STATE OF NEW YORK

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Certificate of Inspection of Nursery Stock

This is to Certify that the stock in the nursery of Wm. J. Reilly of Dansville, County of Livingston, State of New York, was duly examined in compliance with the provisions of Section 305 of the Agricultural Law, and was found to be apparently free from all contagious and infectious disease or diseases, or the San Jose Scale or other dangerously injurious insect pest or pests.

Commissioner of Agriculture

Collections . This year we are making a great reduction on trees and plants when purchased as collections. There are many of these to pick from and they offer custom- ers many opportunities to save money. . We can make no changes in collections, as these are sorted and bundled where the trees are dug and sent to our packing and shipping sheds, saving us time and making it possible for us to offer them at a reduced rate.

Dansville Nurseries Free From San Jose Scale

New York Inspector Barden unreservedly declares that Dansville is the only nursery center of any important size that is entirely free from San Jose Scale ; this fact is not generally known. Mr. Barden believes that Dansville trees are worth five cents each more than the market price, as the reputation of Dansville Nurseries for freedom from San Jose Scale and general vigor of its trees and plants is worth many thousands of dollars to the planter who buys Dansville trees.— Dansville Advertiser.

Our Location in the Famous Genesee Valley. The soil here seems to contain the requirements that keep the trees constantly growing throughout the entire season, and our winters are sufficiently cold to produce a well balanced tree suitable for plant- ing in any climate.

a Mistaken Idea. Some prospective buyers of trees have an idea that only the largest size trees are fit to plant, that all other sizes are poor trees. Small trees are not third-class but first-class of their size, and while we do not recommend the small planter or one who plants a few trees to select the small size for his planting, we do recommend the medium and small size to the orchardist.

This Catalog is our Personal Representative to You It is our Only Salesman.

Send Cash with Order and save 50 c'o on your trees. Why pay agents’ expenses and com- missions, the cost of collections or other people’s bad debts-. The middlemen between you and the grower can not and do not improve the quality of the trees by handling them over several times, they take off the value instead of putting it on.

If you want your order shipped on a certain date, mark it so on the order and we will get it off at that time if possible. Our regular shipping season begins about April 1st in spring and October 1st in fall.

Packing . We pack in good tight paper lined boxes, using plenty of moist material, and guarantee the trees to reach you in good condition. If there is any cause for complaint or any mistake in filling your order we must be notified promptly on receipt of stock, or the complaint will not be considered. In this way we can locate the cause and make proper adjustment, and we want to conduct our business in a way that will satisfy our customers. We make no charge for boxing or packing, our prices are for stock delivered to railroad station or express office

WHOLESALE GROV/ERS OF FRUIT TREES AND PLANTS

BARTLETT PEAR

Pears

The cultivation of this noble fruit is extending as its value is appreciated. The range of var- ieties is such that, like apples, they can be had in good eating condition from August until early

spring.

One of the important points in growing pears is to gather them at the proper time. Summer and autumn pears should be gathered about ten days before they are ripe. Winter varieties can be left until the leaves begin to fall ; if they will hang that lono-.

At the present time there is a strong demand for choice fruit and they should have the best kind of cultivation ; the fruit should be thinned if there is danger of the tree over-producing. Care should be used in selecting for market only the best, and with such effort and system on the part of the grower, they will yield a satisfactory profit.

The pear succeeds on most soils, but does best on a rather heavy loam or clay. Budded on its own stock it makes a standard tree, and on French or Anger’s Quince, a dwarf, the former beings the best adapted to large permanent orchards, the later to yards and gardens.

NAPOLEON THE BEST WHITE SWEET CHERRY

Cherries

All Budded on Whole Hoots of Imported Trench Mahaleb and Mazzard Stock

The Cherry like the Peach do their very best on light soil, but will succeed in any soil that is dry. The Sweet varieties are of rapid growth with large, glossy leaves, forming fine pyramid shaped heads, and producing large crops of luscious sweet fruit. Sour varieties generally produce acid fruit, and do not attain so large size ; are hardier and better adapted for shipping to market. We know of nothing in the fruit line that gives promise of better returns than a good well kept Cherry Orchard. There are very few markets that are ever well supplied with this fruit.

The Plum, like the pear and other fine fruits attains its greatest perfection on our heavy soil, but will succeed on almost any soil that is made rich. The Plum is entirely free from disease, The curculio, a small dark brown beetle, often stings the fruit, causing it to drop off ; by ob- serving the following directions you will get a good crop of fine fruit. As soon as the blossoms have fallen, give the tree a sudden jar by striking a smart blow with a hammer on the stub of a limb sawed off for that purpose ; this should be done in the morning while the dew is on. There are so many careless or indifferent growers who do not take these precautions, that the man who does will not only have a good supply of the best fruit, but will have a monopoly of the market.

We have large Plums for those who want them, but would recommend our customers to plant one year trees, especially of the Japan varieties which make a very rank growth ; a good many getting 4 to 6 feet in one year.

We have a very large stock of both one and two year Plum, and are making an exceptionally low price to clean up.

LATE CRAWFORD PEACH

Peaches

All Budded on Tennesee Natural Pits, Free from Insects and Disease. Perfectly Healthy, Well Ripened Wood, with Splendid Fibrous Roots

The Peach Tree requires a well drained^ moderately rich soil, a warm sandy loam is prob- ably the best.

In order to preserve the continued healthy growth of the tree and the fine quality of the fruit, the tree should have the shoots and branches shortened every year, so as to produce a round vigorous head with plenty of young wood. In trimming it should be borne in mind that the fruit is produced on the previous year’s growth of wood ; every spring the .trees should be gone over and the new wood cut back about one-half, this will keep the tree well supplied with vigorous fruit buds and bearing wood. Clean culture, annual pruning, and frequent examination for borers are the requirements of the peach.

The vine comes quickly into bearing, yielding fruit usually the second year after planting ; requires but little space, and when properly trained is an ornament to the yard, garden or vineyard.

The soil for the Grape should be dry. When not naturally so, it should be thoroughly drained. For maximum crops it should be deeply worked and well manured, always bearing in mind that it is essential to have them in a warm, sunny exposure.

Frau Karl Druschki. (Snow Queen) The finest white Hybrid Perpetual Rose, with large, full flowers of splen- did form. It is marvelous in its beauty in half opened bud and in the pure white of the full opened bloom. It is the ideal rose for cemetery planting both North and South It holds its foliage well and is healthy and vigorous and in hardiness it equals any of the Hybrid Perpetuals.

J. B. Clark. Very vigorous habit and remarkable free- dom of bloom. The flowers are large, well formed, deep scarlet shaded with blackish crimson and very fragrant. Its chief merit is its extraordinary blooming qualities.

Hugh Dickson. Intense crimson, shaded scarlet ; very large, full, aud magnificent form. Awarded the Gold Medal of the National Rose Society of England. Finest rose of its color.

Marshall P. Wilder, It is of vigorous growth, with healthy foliage ; flowers large, semi-globular, full, well formed; color cherry-carmine, very fragrant. It con- tinues to bloom profusely long after the other Hybrid Perpetuals are out of flower.

Blue Rambler or Yeilchenblau. Newest of the climbers. A real Blue Rose at last. Same habits as the Crimson Rambler.

Pink Rambler, White Rambler and Yellow Rambler are

similar in growth to the Crimson, but not quite as ram- pant growers, but very pretty, used in combination with it.

Queen of Prairie. Rosy red ; flowers large and compact, very popular.

Dorothy Perkins. This Rose is of the same strong habit of growth as the Crimson Rambler ; sweetly scented and of a beautiful shell-pink color. Absolutely hardy.

Directions for Transplanting

Preparation of Soil and Stock Prepare 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 good condition as is required for a crop of wheat, corn or po- tatoes. We use great care in digging and 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 to preserve the natural balance between the top and root, the former should be cut back to about one half of the previous year’s growth. Prune off all bruised or broken roots ; a smooth cut will callous sooner than a broken end. Peach trees should have all the side branches trimmed off before planting. Ever- greens and other ornamentals, the beauty of which depends on preserving their natural form, should be trimmed very little if any. If not ready to plant when the trees arrive, put them in a trench covering the roots well with mellow earth and packing it down.

Planting Make the holes large enough to admit the roots without cramping or bending and deep enough to set the trees to their natural depth. Fine surface soil should be used for 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 , 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 the most frequent cause of failure in planting nursery stock. Fill the holes full enough to be even with the surrounding surface after the fresh earth settles. Always remove the labels when plant- ing. If these are left until the trees are grown, the connecting wire often cuts into and destroys the tree or branch to which it is attached. Never use manure in contact with roots. When plantirlg dwarf trees, set them low enough to cover the stock upon which they are budded. Large standard trees should be staked and tied, so that the wind will not loosen the roots. This should be done so that the bands will not chafe the trees. A very good plan is to drive two stakes, and confine the trees between straw or hay bands, stretched from stake to stake. It is not necessary to stake medium-sized trees that have been properly cut back when transplanted.

Mulching When trees or bushes are planted, they should be mulched or covered with a layer of coarse manure or litter from 3 to 6 inches deep, over a space two feet wider than the extent of the roots. This keeps the earth moist and of even temperature.

After Planting— Grass should not be allowed to grow about young trees or plants. The ground should be cultivated for a space of at least one foot beyond the roots. If the ground is poor it should be enriched with a surface application of manure. Pruning should be varied according to the condition of the tree and purpose of the planter. It should be done regularly every spring, before the buds swell. In this way the removal of large branches will be avoided.

Injured Trees— If trees are received in a frozen state, place the package unopened in a cellar away from frost and heat, until thawed out, and then unpack. If partially dried from long exposure, bury entirely in the ground, or place in water from twelve to twenty-four hours. There is a popular belief that trees are in great danger if more than a week or two in transit. Now if the trees are properly ripened and properly packed, they will carry safely for several months in moderately cool weather. We have had seedlings sent from France that were three months in the boxes and came out in perfect condition. This knowledge may afford some relief to the over-anxiety of inexperienced buyers.

There is no garden or even town lot so small but that the owner should grow enough fruit for his own use. By planting a general assortment in the order of ripening you can have fresh fruit throughout the entire season, and there is no fruit like that taken from your own garden. It is surprising, the small amount of ground, if intelligently handled, that can be made to keep the home in fresh fruit through the growing season.
