Terms and Conditions All goods travel at the risk and cost of the

purchaser. We do not assume responsibility for the safe delivery or con- dition of goods after shipment, except our own mistakes. We are careful to have all of our stock correctly labelled and TRUE to NAME, and this corporation holds itself in readiness to replace, on proper proof, all stock that may prove otherwise, or to refund the amount paid therefor; but it is mutually agreed between the purchaser and ourselves that we shall not at any time be liable for any amount greater than the original price of the goods. Our goods are not sold on any other terms.

Orders placed with us are entered and accepted only on condition and agreement that, should stock be injured before the time for shipping, either by drought, frost, fire, insect or other casualties, they are to be void.

No representations or agreements made by salesmen will bind this corporation unless the same are in writing on the order and accepted at the office of the Company. Should an error occur we desire to be informed upon receipt of goods, in order that we may rectify it without serious de- lay. All claims must be filed within ten days after arrival of shipment to entitle purchaser to allowance.

Care of Stock. — On arrival of Stock, it should be promptly planted out, or, if this is impossible, the plants should be placed in water in the shade for an hour or two. The roots should then be covered with moist earth, and the plants should be kept in the shade until set out. Should any deciduous plant appear withered, it may be revived by covering the entire plant with moist earth and leaving it for a day or two, then plant in the evening.

Before planting remove all broken or extra long roots. The branches and tip of deciduous Fruit Trees should be trimmed to about half of length.

In digging the holes, sufficient space should be provided to allow the roots to extend easily and naturally. Place the best loose soil among the roots. When the soil is nearly all filled in, pour sufficient water to settle the earth around the roots. After it settles, finish filling with dry, loose dirt. This will prevent baking.

The ground should afterward be kept loose and free from weeds.

In a dry climate it is well to cover the surface immediately surround- ing the plants or trees with a mulch of pulverized manure or straw.

SELECTING VARIETIES.

The safest plan is to plant those varieties which have been tried, tested and have proven to give good results in your territory, which knowl- edge can easily he learned by inquiry of your neighbor or by your own experience.

FROM WHOM TO BUY.

You should secure your trees, plants or vines from a responsible nur- sery, preferably one nearest your territory to be planted, but you should satisfy yourself that the concern is reliable and financially responsible for any losses or damages that might occur on account of stock which might prove untrue to name.

Beware lest you might order trees from some Cheap John, or unknown and irresponsible concern, for every year there springs up many new, un- reliable and unscrupulous nurseries in name only, which supposed nur- sery simply buys cull and cheap stock from any source so the stock will pass off as Nursery stock to fill their orders and by the time said stock should begin to bear such nursery is out of business and cannot be found and the planter has to “grin” and bear it.

CARING FOR THE TREES.

On receiving a bill of Nursery stock from the seller take note that it is in green and growing or living condition, not swiveled or partly dead, which is often the case (caused by careless handling before shipping). (We never allow the roots of our tres to become dry after digging until they are delivered to the buyer). However the fact that some of the ends or limbs of the trees are dead or swiveled is not evidence that such tree is permanently injured, as these limbs are always removed or should be before planting.

If your order is in reasonable good condition accept it and be sure that you do your part by taking care of it after it is turned over to you.

4

GREENVILLE NURSERY CO., GREENVILLE, S. C.

Protect the roots from sunshine and air, never allowing them to become heated or frozen before planting or you are likely to loose them if you do.

If you cannot plant in permanent place immediately after receiving your stock, make a trench in the ground (in a well drained place), cut the cords binding the several plants together, spread or separate the roots of trees in trench, cover with loose dirt, pouring on some water to moisten earth, press dirt firmly on roots, keep stock thus healed until ready to plant.

PLANTING.

To plant or set out a tree and etc., make a hole twice as wide and twice as deep as is necessary to receive the roots, when spread out in their natural direction, throw the top soil to one side to be used in filling around the roots. The botton of the hole should be filled in a few inches with loose earth on which to set or place the roots. Cut off all long, badly bruised or broken roots, use a sharp knife, cutting from under side of roots outward, leaving the top of the root the longest, place the plant in position, leaning slightly toward prevailing winds, fill in with soil to level of the natural surface; if soil is dry pour on say 1-2 gallon of water, tread the eartlr hard and tight, add an inch of loose dirt then.

PRUNE TREES

Properly by cutting back the top and limbs to 1-2 their length at least, entirely removing all surplus branches, leaving say three or four main stems pointing in opposite directions so as to balance the head. Always prune to an outward bud, thus encouraging an outward growth, keeping in mind the spreading out of tree, thus insuring sufficient sunlight and air drainage through the center and all parts of the tree. Peach trees should be pruned to a whip or stub less than 2 feet high and allowed to form their head close to the ground the second year. Cherries require but little pruning of the top or limbs.

Grapevines should be cut back within a few inches of the earth and allow only, say two runners to grow from near the ground, thus getting a better growth of the vine.

DRAINAGE.

This is important as it seldom pays to plant trees, etc., on wet- natured or undrained soil. Avoid hollows or low places where water is apt to stand over and around the roots of the tree. Select your orchard ground where you will also get a good air drainage as this is very im- portant and essential to the well development, maturing and coloring of the fruit.

STAKING TREES.

Every tree should be well staked and tied with some soft material immediately after planting, as the constant motion of the trees caused by winds is very apt to kill it as it can not make root and fiber unless stationary.

CULTIVATING.

The manner or system of cultivation depends much upon the variety of fruit to be grown as the apple, peach, pear, plum, cherry, etc. Each to some extent require a different system of cultivation, but with all these some common rules will hold good, viz. Do not allow weeds, etc., to grow under and around the tree as they will sap the soil and thus deprive the tree of its source of life. Keep the ground clear of such growth and while the tree is young cultivate frequently, but do not grow such crops as corn, wheat, oats, rye, etc.; rather plant or grow such crops as the melon, potato, pea, tomato, etc., which will be of benefit to both your ground and trees.

For more complete or special instruction on growing any certain kind of fruit, etc., we advise that you write the Agricultural Department, Washington, D. C., or the experimental station of your State at Clemson College, asking for a bulletin or information on subject desired. These departments will gladly mail such information free of cost.

ENEMIES TO FRUIT GROWING.

There exists today a number of what is called common enemies to fruit growing such as the San Jose Scale, Australian Peach Scale and other Scales, Peach Tree Borer, the Codling Moth, Canker worm, Plum Curculio, Aphis, Blight, Yellows, Borer, etc.

In this little Pamphlet we have not the space to give a complete treatise on these enemies, thereby educating all our customers to the point of efficiency where they would be able to discern them at sight and destroy them at will, but such knowledge can be secured in detail upon application to the Departments above mentioned and we urge you all to avail yourselves of it free of cost. Write to Clemson College for Bulle- tin No. 143. It is one of the best pamphlets we have ever read on these subjects.

However, we will take up a few of the most dangerous and prevailing enemies to fruit growing, which we feel should be attacked and destroyed or at least checked and controlled at once.

SAN JOSE SCALE.

This insect we look upon as being the chief or first enemy for us to get after and destroy, especially in this our home State, South Carolina.

This San Jose scale is now common to almost every section of the United States and the greater part of the world so far as we know.

It seems to have been introduced in America about thirty years since, being brought here on imported nursery stock and first started from the shipment of stock from San Jose, Cal.

It was first looked upon as an uncontrollable insect, sounding the death knell to orchards wherever found, but after several years of ex- perience and study it was found to be easily controlled and destroyed, and it has now taken its place as only one of the common, controllable ene- mies of the orchards. Some noted fruit growers have said that they “consider it a God send or blessing to the country, for they say it has put the people to thinking, spraying and taking better care of their orchards, thereby making a great improvement over the old careless, hap- hazard method of fruit growing.

6

GREENVILLE NURSERY CO., GREENVILLE, S. C.

You have the San Jose Scale in your neighborhood if not on your trees. It does not make itself apparant to the average man when it first attacks a tree, but usually feeds, breeds and multiplies for two' to four years before you notice the ill effects of its ravages. You might then notice some whole limbs or the tops of the trees dead or dying. Each year new limbs will spring out from the main body or trunk of the tree which limbs are only destined to live the short life of one summer to be then destroyed by this scale.

One pair of this tiny insect (a little orange colored mite under a tiny covering or scale) is capable of making from two to four million more insects during one summer.

They only grow and multiply in warm weather, remaining inactive or as an egg through the winter season, breaking out anew as soon as warm weather comes in the spring.

DESTROY SAN JOSE SCALE BY SPRAYING.

The first step necessary is to supply yourself with a good spraying outfit. We suggest what is called a common barrel Spray pump fitted up to an eight or ten foot hose and an eight or ten foot extension rod.

We are prepared to furnish catalogs of spraying outfits and will be pleased to inform our customers as to where and how to secure a good outfit at reasonable cost at from $12 to $18.

LIME AND SULPHUR MIXTURE.

As a standard formula or spray mixture to destroy the Scale we think the Lime and Sulphur mixture to be as good or better than any others, yet there are several good, effective remedies which may be made or secured at a very small cost.

Lime and sulphur mixture may be made at home as follows, in the following strength:

Quick lime, 20 lbs; Flour of Sulphur, 16 lbs; Water, 50 Gals. To cook put say five or ten gallons of water in an iron vessel or kettle, put in the lime, fnake the sulphur into a paste by stirring it in some water, put it into the vessel with the water and lime which should be on a fire, keep the mixture briskly boiling, constantly stirring to prevent boiling over, cook 40 to 60 minutes until it becomes of amber color and is all dissolved, then strain well into the spray tank or barrel, add sufficient warm water to make strength or proportion above named. Apply while warm to all parts of the tree until it seems to run on the surface of the limbs and trunk of the tree.

This application as most all other sprays for the scale should be ap- plied while the tree is in any dormant state; any time after foliage is off in autumn until the buds begin to open in the Spring. The cooking of the Lime-Sulphur wash is better done by steam where it can be had.

PREPARED LIME SULPHUR WASH*

There is today several effective brands of Lime and Sulphur prep- arations on the market, manufactured by the various chemical concerns which can be obtained at a nominal cost and are less troublesome to mix and apply than the home-made mixture. We will be glad to advise as to where they can be obtained.

SOLUBLE OIL PREPARATION.

There is also some very effective Oil Mixtures that are prepared ready to mix with water, which can he furnished by the above named chemical concerns. These we have used with satisfactory results. Used in a strength of 1 gallon oil to 12 gallons of water.

CODDLING MOTH.

This is the insect which makes our wormy fruits. It deposits its eggs in the blossom end of the apple, etc., while the fruit is very young, even before the bloom disappears. Later on this egg becomes the worm so often found in the apple, etc., most always entering the fruit at the blossom end, usually ruining it from a commercial standpoint.

DESTROY CODDLING MOTH.

Spray with the Bordeaux Mixture, Arsenate of Lead, or Paris Green solution, at the proper time, and you will have little or no worms.

First application should be made about the time the fruit is dropping its blooms, follow with another spraying in about two or three weeks and again when fruit is about one-half to two-thirds grown.

If you cannot obtain any of these chemicals near you, write us and we will gladly aid you in securing them, advising as to the proper pro- portion to use.

PEACH TREE BORER.

The Peach Tree Borer is a common and well known pest, which needs no description to most planters. A full treatise on it is given in Bulletin No. 143, by A. F. Conradi and W. A. Thomas, Experimental Station, Clemson College, S. C.

TREATMENT.

Make mounds of earth around and against the tree about eight inches high about July 1st, this will cause the moth to deposit the eggs higher up on the tree. Remove the mound about October 15tk. Spray the trunk of the tree with the Lime Sulphur solution, which will destroy most all the eggs and if any escape the worm will be easily removed when it makes its appearance.

BLIGHT.

The blight is a very troublesome disease as far as we know all over the world, and while it seldom of itself totally destroys the tree it does a great deal of damage by killing back young growth.

BLIGHT REMEDIES-

The best method to get rid of the blight seems to be as follows: When it appears on the tree supply yourself with a sharp knife, a small vessel of some good disinfectant, such as corrosive sublimate or strong salty water will do fairly well, cut off the blighted twigs or limbs about

8

GREENVILLE NURSERY CO., GREENVILLE, S. C.

say seven inches below blighted or dying part, disinfect the knife and end of the limbs and burn the parts taken off the tree, get your neighbors to do likewise and you will soon be rewarded with the pleasure of seeing the fruit of your labor.

PLUM CURICULIO.

This insect attacks all orchard fruits to some extent but more es- pecially the plum and peach, causing the common crescent or moon shaped punctures.

' . , 1 V; . vl.' ^

PREVENTIVE MEASURES.

Such as jarring the trees, causing the curiculio to drop from the tree. Catching them on a spread, then burning them and poisoning them by spraying with the Arsenate of Lead or Paris Green solution is recom- mended and fully treated in Bulletin No. 143 above named.

MILDEW AND LICE.

On Roses, Gooseberries, etc., is easily destroyed by spraying with the mixtures used to destroy the Coddling moth, or Tobacco Snuff and White Hellebora powder when dusted on the foliage will be found to be very effective, but as the Hellebora is poisonous it should be used very carefully.

CONCLUSION.

Let us thank you for your patronage and assure you that we appre- ciate your business, and we hope this little short treatise will prove a benefit to every purchaser of our nursery stock, and fell sure that it will if the lines of our suggestions are followed.

The Apple

By intelligent people, the apple is now deemed almost as indispens- able an article of food as bread itself* It is food, medicine, and no mean moral agent, all in one. Indigestion, bladder and kidney troubles and rheumatism, which often has its chief seat in such troubles, are benefitted and often cured by the liberal eating of apples. People, especially boys, who eat apples freely, do not have the same hankering for dope, drink and to- bacco as the non-fruit eaters.

The only way for the average family to have apples enough is to grow them themselves. One good tree of the right variety will yield more fruit than can be bought for $10.00. We furnish trees of varieties that ripen in succession from May to November. With a little care, apples can be kept through the winter till apples come again* A cellar is best, but almost any dark, dry place will do, the cooler the better, so the apples cannot freeze.

Any surplus of apples can easily be sold if kept until winter. Still it is often the case that Summer and Fall Apples sell well right from the tree, if fine.

Thus McAllister, Red Astragan, or Horse, would sell on sight at any time, and if not then, surely by taste. Few people, if allowed to see their exquisite beauty and taste their delicious flavor, could resist it.

Then, what a friend the Apple is to the housekeeper. The fresh apple of course comes first, but dried apples, canned apples, apple marmalade, apple butter, all stand her in good stead. Then there is apple vinegar* One tree of apples will yield many gallons, and there is really a crying demand for Pure Vinegar. For not even the shadow of an apple ever fell in most of the vinegar we use, and we know it.

The following are (Cream of the Cream) of Appledom, which years’ testing have enabled us to select and offer to discriminating people as the greatest varieties of the great apple family.

Pear Trees

The well-ripened Pear of the best variety is one of the most delicious of all fruits. Few know how fine they are, for they never see them. They are the easiest of all fruits to grow, and can be grown in the greatest abun- dance* A well-rooted Pear tree, started like ours, on a deep, alluvial soil, rich in vegetable matter, will thrive anywhere and with very little care or cultivation. The magnificent Keiffer Pear grows finely in the hardest yards or lot without cultivation after the first year or two, which should consist of hoeing around the tree for a radius of three or four feet* Blight is in some years a drawback to the Pear, but it can be controlled by cutting off the in- fected limb tops well below the dead part. We never knew it to kill a tree and rarely to keep it from bearing all the fruit the tree could stand up under, if directions above were followed.

Leconte. — Strikingly beautiful in tree and fruit. Immensely produc- tive of very large, yellow Pears of fine quality. Ripens in September. Most universally successful of all Pears, except Keiffer.

Garber. — Of Oriental origin, like Leconte and Keiffer, and, like them, amazingly productive. A large, yel- low, pink-cheeked Pear of excellent flavor. Rich, juicy and luscious. Ripens in September.

Konce. — Similar to the Early Har- vest. A very fine pear, ripening in June.

Seckle. — A small, brown, russett- red Pear, popular for its sweet flavor. Ripens late August.

Keiffer* — The largest, handsomest and most productive of all Pears. A huge lump of Gold, brilliantly tinted with red when ripe. Ripens in late October and November and keeps well all Winter. Trees easy to live, quick to grow off, and early bearer^. We know single trees of Keiffer Pears that bear over ten bushels year after year without ever failing. Good quality when ripe. This su- perb fruit, the king of all late Pears, has been discovered to have one im- mense advantage over all other Pears, and indeed, of most all other fruit — the tree is said to be proof against San Jose Scale.

Early Harvest. — A large, yellow, pink-cheeked Pear of good quality. An exceedingly handsome variety in both tree and fruit. Ripens early in June. The extreme earliness, far ahead of all other kinds, gives it a high value for home use and for mar- ket.

Magnolia* — Large, yellow Pear. Ripens in September.

THE COMBINATION TREE — FRUIT AND ORNAMENTAL.

Few trees combine the useful and the ornamental in as large a degree as the Cherry. They make an exceedingly handsome shade tree, worthy of a place in every yard or lawn. Or they can be grown in any spare or waste space or corner, no matter how rough and stony, needing no cultivation after the first two or three years, and they ire very long lived.

Plum Trees

THE JAPAN PIAJM.

This magnificent Plum is a genuine revelation to a person who has never seen it. It’s large size, exquisite beautiful coloring and immense productive- ness is astonishing* At fruiting time the trees are simply piles of flaming red Plums. The delicious flavor and wholesomeness of the fruit is as striking as its qualities. It is entirely free from the unwholesome qualities of the common wild plum. Children and invalids eat the best, sweet varieties not only with safety but with postive benefit. After testing all varieties in our trial orchard, we have selected the following as the finest and best of this glorious family. Fine Plums, like peaches, sell well at home or on the large market. Trees are beautiful ornaments for yard or garden.

nated by Luther Burbank. Climax ripens soon after Red June. In size, in magnificent coloring, in enormous amazing productiveness, and in ex- quisite flavor, it ranks with the best.

Burbanks. — Large as a peach. Originated by Luther Burbanks. Ripens in July.

Abundance. — Very large and of indescribable beauty. Closely fol- lows Red June in ripening, and re- mains in bearing long time. Rightly named for its immense productive- ness. Quality good, probably equal to any fruit that grows. Begins to bear on good soil at two years old, and rarely or never fails to produce a large crop of the best fruit.

Shropshire Damson. — The finest and most productive of all the Dam- son family. Grown chiefly for pre- serving, for which it has no equal.

Red June* — The earliest of the Japan group of plums, ripening in June. Size very large, color flaming red, quality very good. A sure and exceedingly heavy bearer. Valuable for home use or market, on account of its earliness, beauty and general appearance.

Climax. — A cross between the Ja- pan and our native Plums. Origi-

Grapes

BUNCH GRAPES.

The grapevines take up such little room and yields such a heavy crop of the most delicious and wholesome fruit that no garden should be without them. They can be planted along the fence or on each side of the garden walk. If so planted and trained over the walk in a trellis, they bear heavily, the bunches of grapes completely roofing the leafy arch.

The bunch grape thrives best on elevated, well drained land, but does well almost anywhere. Only moderately rich soil is required and sufficient cultivation to keep weeds from smothering them. In fall culture, they can be trained either to single stakes or to two wires stretched between posts about ten feet apart. The lower wire should be about three feet above the ground, the higher one about five feet.

The bunch grape is noted the world over, not only for its deliciousness, but also for its wholesomeness. People who cannot eat other fruit, except perhaps the peach and strawberry, eat Grapes not only without harm, but often with benefit to their health* In fact, the grape cure is a well-recog- nized system of dietic in some countries.

Moore’s Early. — A large, dark, purple, very early grape of excellent quality. In fact, we find it to be the very earliest, good and reliable grape that we have ever seen. Prolific bearer, succeeds everywhere.

Concord. — A fine, purple Grape, closely following Moore’s Early, and giving a succession of grapes for a long while. Concord is an immense bearer of most excellent and whole- some fruit. Great also for wine. A standard Grape everywhere.

Martha. — Growth medium. Al- ways sets a crop of well filled clus- ters. Berries large, globular, yel- lowish, when fully ripe. Skin tougn, but thin. Never cracks, and rarely attacked by rot, pulp about the same as Concord. Very juicy, and exceed- ingly sweet. One of the best table and wine Grapes.

^Delaware. — A small red Grape, but borne in large bunches. Famous for its delicate flavor and as a des- ert Grape.

Niagara. — The best and most pop- ular and the most generally success- fully of all the White Grapes. A truly excellent variety.

James Grape. — A black scupe- nong, but larger, and by some con- sidered even more luscious and bet- ter in all respects. Similar in growth and fully as heavy a bearer. As good for wine as for the table. Both of these seem immune from all dis- eases. Even in damp, low places they thrive wonderfully. Both make excellent wine.

Scupenong Grapes. — The most wonderful of all the grape family. In lusciousness of flavor, it is not sur- passed, and hardly equalled by any grape or fruit that grows. Immense- ly prolific, and needing no attention after the first two or three years ex- cept to provide a frame or arbor, for the rapidly spreading vines to grow on and be supported. There is scarcely any limit to the age to which they live, or to the quantity of grapes a vine will bear.

Berries

THE STRAWBERRY.

The Strawberry ranks with the peach as the queen of fruit. The sole rival of Stawberry and cream are peaches and cream. The Strawberry Plants are about the hardiest of all plants, and will grow on almost any soil. All that it asks is not to let weeds and gra.ss take it, and not to let its own young plants, which, when too thick, act like weeds, smother it out.

The daintiness and wholesomeness of thoroughly ripe, fresh strawberries are of course known wherever any trace of culinary art exists. Strawberry shortcake is also a household word about as wide as civilization. What is not so well known is the quality of strawberry wine.

Some varieties of strawberries also can well, and also make excellent preserves* For the former, select the firmer kinds, and not too ripe.

large size and a coloring that sur- passes them all. It shares with the Excelsior the rare power to renew itself when killed by frost. Even when killed down by heavy spring frosts, blooms, berries and tender leaves, it puts out anew and makes a good crop. Thrives in all soils and climates. Fine for table use when ripe. It colors up before fully ripw which makes it the valuable shipper it is.

Lady Thompson* — A standard mar- ket and shipping berry, too well known to need description.

Brandywine. — Among all the spring ripening kinds, Brandywine fruits the longest, beginning to ripen a little behind Excelsior. It con- tinues all through mid-season and till very late, nearly two months in all. In this respect it is unique of its kind. It has an excellent flavor. Like Klondike, it seems to succeed everywhere. A splendid table and fancy market variety.

LATE VARIETIES.

Aroma.- — Like Gandy, everywhere a standard late berry. Some pro- nounce it even ahead of Gandy and a heavy bearer. Like Gandy, it thrives in all kinds of soil and climates from Maine to Florida.

Gandy. — Shares with Aroma the kingship of all the late kinds. A magnificent berry in all respects. Very large, perfect shape, glorious, color, excellent flavor. Its firmness and meaty quality makes it not only a fine shipper, but also fine to can and to preserve, and for that most delicate of drinks, Strawberry Wine. Gandy thrives everywhere and is everywhere a standard berry.

EXTRA EARLY STRAWBERRIES*.

Excelsior — This is a standard ex- tra early variety. It is firm and well colored, and an excellent shipper and seller. When thoroughly ripe, it is a good table berry.

Climax. — Classes with Helfins’ Early, and is a really superb, extra early berry. Large, handsome and a tremendous bearer.

EARLY KIND OF STRAWBERRIES.

Klondike The king of all ship-

ping and market varieties. Klon- dike is the standard commercial berry of the whole country. A heavy and sure bearer, a firm and excellent shipper, it classes on all the large markets as a re-shipper — that is, a berry firm enough to re-ship to the smaller, subsidiary markets. This quality, especially when shipments are heavy, often doubles the net price that a berry brings. To all this Klondike adds great productiveness,

Three rows of strawberry plants can be set between each fifteen-foot row of peach trees. Where apples are planted in thirty-foot rows writh no peach trees between, seven rows of strawberry plants can be set between.

To prepare the land for planting of trees, plow thorougly and as deep as practicable. Open the holes at least eighteen inches deep and two feet square. Fill the holes with top soil near enough full so that the tree on It will, when the hole is filled, be two or three inches deeper than it grew in nursery* Spread the roots evenly, having first cut off any bruised ends. Then fill the hole, tramping the earth firmly around the tree* In filling the hole, bottom and top, use only the best top soil that can be had in the or- chard. Scatter the clay from the holes as far as possible from the tree. A moderate quantity of well-rotted manure and wood ashes can be used in filling the hole, but they must not be near the roots. Always wet the roots before planting. If the soil is dry, set the tree, fill the hole nearly full of earth and trample it around the tree. Then pour in as much water as will soak in readily, giving it full time. When it disappears, fill the hole and heap it little with earth, but do not trample it. If trees should appear dry or shriveled when received, a few hours soaking, roots and tops, will restore them.

Everbearing Mulberry Trees

These trees are exceedingly rapid growers, and come into heavy bearing in three or four years. Then for months they continue to ripen large quanti- ties of fine, large fruit, good to eat and of the highest value for poultry and hogs, which can be penned around trees and kept fat and healthy. No raiser of chickens or poultry of any kind can afford to be without them if they cost $5 a tree.

Grows fast to a large size, with spreading head and broad leaves which turn pale yellow in autumn, but persist until severe weather. Its yellow flowers are a distinct feature. Price 50 cents, 5 to 6 feet high.

Perfect Ever-Green Hedge the First Year. — The quickness with which a hedge can be grown from the plants we offer is another strong point in its favor. Plants set in fall, winter or early spring and well ma- nured and cared for will the follow- ing summer make a hedge two and a half feet high and as solid from the ground as a stone-wall, and as smooth, if kept trimmed. This is a good height to keep a hedge for o±- dinary purposes, for yards and small lawns. However, it can be grown any height up to ten feet or more, to answer the purpose desired, being thus valuable to give privacy to a yard or a wind-break to shut off cold winds from a yard or lot.

Armoor River Privet Hedge. — We can furnish this variety that stays green all Winter. We sell only large, strictly first-class plants which will make a perfect hedge the first year. Nearly everybody prefers them to lower-grade plants, which if a little cheaper, are so much smaller that it will take a year longer to make a hedge.

Direction for Planting Hedge. — Dig trench two feet wide and two feet deep. Set plants twelve inches apart, though some prefer eight inches. In filling in trench use top earth, mixed with well decomposed stable or lot manure. When trench is filled in about half full, use plenty of water on roots, then finish filling with top dry earth. Pack well on each side of hedge with feet, and you will have no trouble about getting hedge to live.

If we should be out of the varieties ordered, as sometimes will happen, especially when orders come late in the season, shall we send some other variety which we know will suit your soil and climate as well or better?

Answer here

If sure that we can substitute varieties which will give surer and finer crops with you than the varieties you have ordered, shall we do so or not?

Answer here

SURPLUSAGE PREMIUM. — After filling orders we usually have a surplus _ of choice plants or trees left. If you will add $1.00 to amount sent, we can afford to give you a great deal more (usually twice) its value in such choice plants or trees (as your order may be for), our selection as to varieties, though we will send only good ones.
