Orders should be sentin as soon as possible, but the stock need not be shipped until wanted, as we are prepared to hold it in good condition. We have nothing for sale not offered in this list.

It will be noticed by some of our correspondents that we have refused orders the past season for several articles listed.. Our, fear of overselling and some countermands are responsible for this. We ask attention to the small-sized trees offered for transplanting into nursery rows. All of the small trees, as well as the large ones, are nicely rooted, and everything is young, smooth and bright.

We can refer to nurserymen who have bought of us in every State and Territory. We can give satisfaction, and guarantee it for these shipments.

THE HUNTSVILLE WHOLESALE NURSERIES PRICE LIST. t

- Special Mention. PEACHES.

_THE MAYFLOWER-— Introduced by Mr. J. Van Lindley. Pomona, N. C. The earliest of all peaches. Ripens here. May 19th to June 5th, depending upon the season. Mr. Lindley has tested this variety in his orchard for the past four years. It is remarkable peach and red all over. Will supersede Victor and Sneed.

_ ARP BEAUTY is next in season and next in value to Mayflower. Comes in just before and laps over into the season of Greensboro. It is quite distinct from any variety that we know and will prove a very valuable sort for commercial orchards as well as for family orchards. It is the most showy and by far the best in quality of any peach of its season. - The flesh is of a rich, inviting yellow color; the skin a pleasing shade of yellow, very attractively painted and mottled with bright crimson. It is very prolific, has large flowers and is one of the hardiest in tree, bud and bloom. Freestone, but the flesh, like that of all excep- tionally early freestone peaches, clings more or less to the seed. In size it is about the same as Yellow St. John.

APEX—Ripens at the same time as Alexander, to which it is far superior in size, color and flavor. Size large, color of skin yellow, with a mottled red cheek. Flesh yellow and of good quality—one of the best early market varieties. Freestone, but, like all extra early peaches, the flesh clings to the stone.

DR. BURTON—Very similar to Mamie Ross in vigor, certainty and abundance of bearing; has large flowers. Much superior to Mamie Ross and ripens about one week earlier. It is a perfect freestone, of rather larger size than Mamie Ross, of same shape, with smaller seed, much firmer and more color, and quality of the finest; the best and handsomest peach of its season.

GOLDFINCH (Ea. Elberta)—This is a seedling of Elberta, of very much the same characteristics, but ripening about a week earlier.

MUNSON’S CLING. A selected seedling of Elberta, among hundreds grown from select seed. Equally as large as Elberta, more spherical, with a short beak. Firm, yellow fiesh of the finest quality. Surface mostly covered with bright red, very handsome. An immensely superior quality to Chilow. Ripens with Elberta.

MUNSON’S FREE. Selected variety among several hundred Elberta seedlings grown from selected seed. The fruitis larger than Elberta; more highly colored, more oblong and of better quality; flesh yellow. More prolific and hardy in bearing. Ripens about a week later than Elberta. Very firm; fine for shipping.

-REX. A seedling of Elberta, ripening about a month later. This variety in size, color of skin and flesh is very much like Elberta.

TIEBOUT— Free, largest size, rich orange color, with dark red cheek, flesh of the finest quality, firm, buttery; a splendid shipper, seed small. About two weeks later than Elberta. ; .

DULCE—The same description of the Tiebout, but ripening a month later.

OCTOBEL (Bell’s October). Large, rich, yellow, red cheek; freestone; of finest quality.

. LOVELL-— Leads all other clear yellow freestones in the Pacific Coast; medium to large. First week in August. :

MUIR—Very sweet and firm, yellow. with sometimes a faint blush. Large, very free, pit quite small. Most popular drying aud canning variety on the

- Pacific Coast. August.

PHILLIPS’ CLING—Large; yellow; flesh firm; clear yellow, Preferred by canners. Early September.

ORANGE CLING—Very large; yellow with a dark crimson cheek. Early

August. Cling.

!

TUSKENA (Tuscan)—Very large; yellow. Middle of July.

We recommend the following varieties as a splendid assortment of varieties for a succession in both the commercial and home orchard. They are named in the order of ripening and cover the season from the middle of May to the middle of October: Maytiower, Arp Beauty, Apex, Greensboro, Dr. Burton, Mamie Ross, - Carman, Hiley, Goldfinch, Champion, Belle of Ga., Elberta, Munson Free, Old Mixon Free, Lemon Cling, Crawford’s Late, Beer’s Smock, Rex, Tibout, Fox Seedling, Krummel’s Late, Salway, Dulce. Henrietta, Octobel, Stinson’s.
