Order Trees Early
Wherever you live it pays to order early. Send in your order just as soon as you know what you want. POMONA METHOD OF SHIPPING C. 0. D., requiring no cash with order makes it convenient for you to do this, and we want you to get your trees and plant them as soon as weather conditions and the preparation of your land will permit, either spring or fall.
Our Shipping Season
WE PACK AND SHIP ALL WINTER TO SOUTHERN STATES. Our regular Spring packing and shipping season usually opens here February 1st and continues into the month of May. The planting season is not regulated by any particular month or day, nor by the state of vegetation where the planting is to be done, but BY THE CONDITION OF THE TREES TO BE PLANTED. Hence, trees can be sent with safety from Dansville, N. Y., to localities several degrees south, even if they do not arrive until the ordinary transplanting season in that locality is past.
True To Label
YOU KNOW THE MEANING OF THIS EXPRESSION. As we understand it a “true to label” Baldwin tree is a tree that grows up a Baldwin and a man who plants a “true to label” Northern Spy does not go out some years later and pick crab apples from its branches. The three lit te words have come to mean with us accomplishment of purpose. They signify INTEGRITY, EXPERIENCE and KNOWLEDGE.

Forty Years Dealing Direct with the Planter
IT’S A PLEASURE to present with this catalogue, our latest, which portrays as clearly as possible the knowledge we have gained about trees. Trees have been our life work — we have grown up with them. We have learned to plant them, cultivate them, and to call them by name.
In the development of such a business as we now conduct representing forty years of painstaking labor, there has been a vast store of knowledge “laid by.” It is our intention to place this reserve fund at the disposal of our customers and that they may receive prompt and careful attention we have INSTITUTED our SERVICE DEPARTMENT, by means of which the buyer can feel that he will receive absolutely impartial and as nearly accurate information on planting as it is possible for us to give, at any time.
Fresh Dug Trees
POMONA’S fresh dug trees are budded on the best whole rooted im¬ ported French stock, propagated by us from certified trees and bearing orchards, free from disease, insect pests and true to name. ' Our C. 0. D. offer enables you to take advantage of ordering now. Yesterday is gone, forget it. Today is here, use it. Never leave till tomorrow what you can do today.
What a Pomona Ten Cent Sale Is
It is a sale where you buy one tree at our special list price, then an addi¬ tional tree of the same variety for TEN CENTS. To illustrate: The price of BALDWIN APPLE TREE is 30c. You buy one tree at this price and by PAYING 10c MORE, OR 40c, YOU GET TWO TREES. Every tree offered is of standard quality just the same as we have been selling at the regular price every year. This is our second year to develop a special sale of 10 cent trees. Rather than spend large sums of money in other ways to convince you of the quality of our trees, we are spending it on this sale so as to enable us to sell you a high standard tree offered in this catalogue for 10 cents. It costs us a large amount of money to get new customers, but the sacrifice in profit is justified, knowing the stock offered will please you.
Our Special 10c Sale Price Covers Stock As Listed in this Catalogue
If you order 10 trees, we allow you to select 5 varieties of 2 trees each. If you order 50 or more trees, not less than 10 trees of a variety.

RED ASTRACHAN— THE BEST EARLY DESSERT APPLE
DUCHESS OF OLDENBURG — Large, round; streaked red on yellow; tender, juicy, pleasant; a kitchen apple of best quality and esteemed by many for dessert. Tree a vigorous, fine grower, and an abundant bearer. Succeeds well in the Northwest, where most varieties fail. We find Duchess the most valuable commercial variety, a sure cropper, hardy as an oak, having survived in some in¬ stances when all others died. August and September.
King of Tompkins County. One of the standard varieties grown for commercial purposes, and gives the greatest satisfaction when top- worked on some hardier variety. The fruit is of a bright red color, large and uniform. The flesh is yellowish, crisp, tender, juicy and sub-acid, and of the best quality.
GRIMES’ GOLDEN. Medium to large size; skin golden yellow, sprinkled with gray dots; flesh crisp, tender, juicy, sprightly, very good to best. Grown in the South and Southwest. Jan. to Apr.
RED ASTRACHAN — This hardy early variety is well known. Fruit large, roundish, nearly covered with deep crimson, handsome, juicy, good, highly esteemed on account of its fine appearance, earliness, and hardiness. Aug.
YELLOW TRANSPARENT— Early variety. Tree an upright grower and a very early and abundant bearer. Fruit of good size; skin clear white, turning to a pale yellow; flavor acid and very good. Ripens from ten days to two weeks earlier than Early Harvest.

McIntosh apple
McIntosh — Not equalled in quality and flavor by any other variety. Due to its very high quality and its exceedingly attractive appearance, it commands a ready sale and a fancy price in all the large eastern markets. Has held the record for high price for years in the Boston, New York, and Chicago markets. Rapidly making a place for itself as one of the leading if not the leading commercial apple of the east. The fruit is very attractive in appearance, of bright deep red col¬ or, which in highly colored specimens is almost purplish-red overspread with a thin lilac bloom. Fruit above medium in size, flesh white, firm, very crisp, fine grained, tender, very juicy. Sprightly subacid in flavor with a characteristic perfume and aroma. Comes into bearing about the fourth year and is a reliable cropper, yielding good crops biennially and sometimes annu¬ ally. October to December.
ROME BEAUTY — Keeps in good condition till May and June. Large, round, mottled and striped in different shades of red; flavor and quality away above the average; appearance and size are its valuable points; always sells and always brings good prices. With a weU-merited reputation, Rome Beauty is a variety Eastern orchardists should plant largely. Good grower, blooms late, bears heavily every year, is adapted to a wide range of soils, elevations and conditions.
DELICIOUS RED — This apple is appropriately named for it is of handsome appearance as well as high quality, rivaling Spitzenburg. It is oblong in shape and its bright red and yellow skin is very handsome. This apple has been largely planted in the Northwest and ranks high in com¬ mercial orcharding. Since it has made good in the apple growing sections someone has said it is a gem. It is the best in quality of any apple I have tasted.
LOBO (McIntosh Seedling) — Above medium size; roundish conical; stem short to medium, color bright crimson; skin thick, tough; flesh white with traces of red, fine grained, tender, juicy; sub¬ acid, sprightly, pleasant, good flavor and quality. October.
We consider Lobo a very promising variety for central and northern New Jersey. Under our condi¬ tions Lobo hangs to the tree much better than McIntosh, and also develops a brighter, more at¬ tractive color, comes into bearing early, and is very productive. We have held Lobo in cold stor¬ age in good condition until the first of February. (From New Jersey Exp. Station Report.)

PLATE OF THE RELIABLE BALDWIN APPLES
BALDWIN. A great market apple, very productive of fair handsome fruit. No variety yields larger crops or bears shipment better, or is more attractive in color, size and shape, than the Baldwin. It is esteemed as an eating apple, and for cooking. Thousands of barrels of this fruit are ex¬ ported to England annually. For a commercial orchard it can be relied upon. Large, bright red, crisp, juicy and rich; tree vigorous, upright and productive.
NORTHERN SPY — This cut shows how perfectly these may be grown, with proper care. This va¬ riety has long been a favorite in commercial sorts in northern New England, New York, Michigan, etc. It is superior to some other standard varie¬ ties in flavor and quality and commands top prices. Large, striped and quite covered on the sunny side with dark crimson; and delicately coated with bloom. Juicy, rich, highly aromatic, retaining its freshness of appearance and flavor till July. A remarkably rapid, erect grower, and a great bearer. One of the finest late keeping apples. December to March.
Wagener — Medium to large; deep red in the sun; flesh firm, sub-acid, and excellent; very produc¬ tive, bears very young. December to May.
Cortland. Is as large as that of McIntosh, or larger; round to somewhat conical in shape. In color it is a bright red blushed with darker red splashed and striped with carmine and more or less overlaid with a deep purplish bloom. The flesh is white, often with a pinkish tinge, fine, crisp, tender, juicy, subacid and aromatic. The trees are large, vigor¬ ous, upright-spreading, very hardy, productive and healthy.

WEALTHY — This is a beautiful, hardy winter apple, originating in Minnesota. Fruit large, round¬ ish; skin smooth, oily, covered with a dark red. Flesh white, tender, juicy, vinous, sub-acid; quality very good. This is one of the few most desirable varieties for Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, as well as the Eastern and Middle States. In season it differs somewhat, ac¬ cording to locality; in New York and neighboring states its season is December to February, and owing to its early bearing qualities it is planted largely as a filler.
THE RELIABLE R. I. GREENING APPLE
RHODE ISLAND GREENING— This large and superior winter apple is famous over a large extent of country, and is more highly prized for cooking and eating than any other variety. It is a good keeper but will keep better if picked early.

LOMBARD PLUMS— TREE HARDY AND PRODUCTIVE
RED JUNE — A consensus of the opinions of those who have had actual experience with the va¬ riety shows that it closely follows Abun¬ dance and Burbank in popularity. The color is a mottled garnet-red overlaid with thin but very distinct and delicate bloom. July.
YORK STATE PRUNE— A superior strain of the German Prune. Known in some sections as Fellemberg or Italian prune. The most widely grown of all plums. In our opinion the most profitable prune for orchard purposes and a variety that should be in every home garden. It is finely flavored whether eaten out of hand, stewed or cured as a prune. In cooking it changes to a dark wine color, very attractive in appearance, with a most pleasant sprightly flavor.
LOMBARD (Purple) — A great favorite as it adapts itself to widely different soils and climates and does well where other varieties would not thrive. Robust, healthy, productive and a regular bear¬ er. Extremely hardy. Skin dark pur¬ plish red overspread with a thick bloom. Flesh yellowish, firm and sweet. Freestone. Ripens in late August.
MONARCH— A very handsome, large, rich, purple plum that has attained popular¬ ity more quickly than any other plum of recent introduction. Flesh golden yellow, juicy and sweet. Trees hardy and productive. Ripens in October.
Abundance — The chief asset, which has giv¬ en the variety its great popularity, is its name, abundance in fruit. Tree bears early in season being a pinkish red changing to a darker red mottled with thin bloom. August.
BRADSHAW — The trees grow large and well formed, bear regularly and heavily. The plums are large, attractive in appearance, being a light purplish red changing to dark reddish at maturity, which occurs in July.
Burbank — Is handsomely colored dark red over a yellow ground. It is a very desirable variety for home plantations in New York, bearing early in July.
Yellow Egg — Golden yellow covered with thick bloom.
NIAGARA— Of large size and first rate flavor; color dark blue. Good bearer; not liable to rot. Ripens about August 1st.

Belle of Georgia — Large; white, with red cheek; flesh white, firm and of excellent flavor. Tree very productive. Early July.
ROCHESTER EARLY YELLOW PEACH
ELBERTA — A valuable, large peach of good quality. The best orchard variety, and valu¬ able also for planting in the garden. Elberta is hardier in bud than many varieties, there¬ fore a more uniform cropper. Elberta is large, yellow, with red cheek, juicy and high- flavored, flesh yellow; freestone. Season medium early.
ROCHESTER (Yellow, Freestone) — A remarkable new early peach which seems to combine the high quality of the Early Crawford with the productiveness of the Elberta. Generally recognized as the best early variety. Coming into the market as it does about two weeks ahead of Early Crawford, it commands not only the highest price but a ready sale. An early bearer, often producing fruit the year after planting. Not only an ideal home or¬ chard variety but an excellent commercial peach as well. Makes a great combination with Elberta. The fruit is large, yellow mot¬ tled with red in color, with thick, firm, juicy flesh, rich and sweet in flavor. The trees are hardy, vigorous and productive. Ripens here the middle of August.

CRAWFORD’S EARLY — A magnificent large yellow peach of good quality. Tree vigorous and pro¬ lific; its size, beauty and productiveness make it one of the most popular varieties. Season be¬ ginning of September. This valuable peach has long been a favorite for large size, beauty and quality of fruit. Most people when they buy peaches ask for Crawfords.
CRAWFORD’S LATE — Of large size; skin yellow or greenish yellow, with dull red cheek; flesh yellow. Tree vigorous; moderately produc¬ tive; one of the finest late sorts.

Carman — A very hardy peach, ripening at same time as Early Rivers, yet almost as large as Elberta. Skin pale yellow with blush on sunny side; flesh white, tender, sweet and melting. Ships well. August.
J. H. HALE (Yellow, Freestone) — A notable va¬ riety of recent introduction, unusually large in size of fruit and very handsome. Largely advertised as a rival to Elberta for commer¬ cial honors, but reported in many sections as not prolific enough to compete with that grand old variety. Of a deep golden-yellow color overlaid with bright carmine. Flesh firm, fine-grained and good in quality.

BARTLETT KING OF STANDARD PEAR TREES— PLANT THEM
BAETLETT — Large, coloring when fully ripe to waxen yellow with red blush; juicy, melt¬ ing, highly flavored. The tree bears early and abundantly. May be grown either as dwarf or standard, but succeeds best as standard. Aside from the fact that it bears early, regularly and abundantly, the Bartlett pear is justly popular on account of its size, beauty and excellence. It originated in Berkshire, Eng., about 1770. Aug. and Sept.
Beckel — Small size; yellowish russet, with red cheek; flesh whitish, buttery, very juicy and melting. A prolific bearer. Sept, to Oct.
Kieffer — Large to very large, skin yellow, with a light vermilion cheek; flesh brittle, very juicy, with a marked musky aroma; good quality. It is unfortunate that the merits of this fruit have been underestimated from the haste in which it is hurried to market in an immature condition, and often before it has attained the proper size.
ANJOU — For late fall and early winter use. there is no better variety. Quality equal to Bart¬ lett. A close second to Bartlett in public fa¬ vor. Distributes its fruit well, and stands up under a load better than Bartlett.

EARLY RICHMOND CHERRIES (REDUCED SIZE)
EARLY RICHMOND — One of the most valuable and popular cherries, unsurpassed for cook¬ ing purposes. It is the good old variety that yields such marvelous crops in the gardens. The most hardy of all varieties, uninjured by the coldest winters. Tree slender in growth, ' with a roundish spread¬ ing head, exceedingly productive. Ripens through June. The cherry tree bears al¬ most every year, and is an easy fruiter. For many years Dansville has been the largest cherry growing section of the U. S., while the majority of nursery¬ men are buyers instead of growers. The cherry is greatly improved by cultivation and the use of fertilizers. Fertiliz¬ ers make the tree vig¬ orous and fruit less liable to decay.

THE MOST POPULAR CHERRY, LARGE MONTMORENCY, HARDY AND PRODUCTIVE
MONTMORENCY (Large) — The most popular of all hardy cherries for market and home use. Thia cherry is planted largely in all parts of the country. The fruit is in great demand by canning factories and others, and sells at fancy prices. Montmorency has been growing in popularity all over the country each year, so that it has been almost impossible to grow trees fast enough to keep up with the demand. It is of large size, light red in color, stem rather short. The tree is very hardy and a vigorous grower. The trees bear fruit soon after planting. I visited a friend last summer who has a large orchard of Montmorency cherries in bearing. The trees have been planted only a few years, and yet they were laden with the most beautiful fruit.
Best Sweet Cherries
BLACK TARTARIAN (Black Oxheart)— Very large; bright purplish black; half tender; juicy, very rich. Tree a remarkably vig¬ orous and erect grower, and an immense bearer. One of the most popular varie¬ ties in all parts of the country. Ripe last of June.

Gov. Wood — One of the best. Clear, light red; tender and delicious. Tree vigorous and productive. End of June.

The Best Varieties of Grapes
The grape is one of our most delicious fruits. Contrary to common opinion it does not demand a special or particular kind of trellis. We have seen vines bear by the bushel growing on a garden or yard fence. Hardy, thrifty, free of disease, the grape is our standby.
The grape is the most healthful of all fruits, and is most highly esteemed for its many and varied uses. Grapes can be grown by any one who has a garden or yard, and a little time to give to it. The vines can be trained up the side of a building, or a garden fence or over an arbor, but the more profitable way is to grow them over a wire trellis.
Pruning. Annual and careful pruning is essential to the production of good grapes. If the roots are called upon to support too much wood, they cannot bring to maturity a fine crop of fruit. By proper pruning you concentrate the vigor of a vine into a smaller number of canes and clusters, which it can perfect. The prun¬ ing should be done from November to March, while the vines are entirely dormant and before the sap starts.
Agawam (Roger’s No. 15) — Berries very large, thick skin, pulp soft, sweet, sprightly, very vigorous, ripens early.
Diamond — Leading early white grape, ripening before Moore’s Early.
Pocklington — One of the largest and most showy white grapes of the Concord type.
Catawba — Berries large, round; when fully ripe of a dark copper color.
Lindley (Roger’s No. 9) — Berries medium to large, flesh tender, sweet and aromatic.
Salem (Roger’s No. 53) — Bunch large, compact; berry large, round, coppery red, tender, juicy. Ripens with Concord.
Diamond White — The leading early white grape, ripening before Moore’s Ear¬ ly. White, with rich yellow tinge; juicy, few seeds, almost free from pulp, excellent quality.
Ciias. A. Green White — Claimed by the introducer to be a new and valu¬ able variety, a vigorous grower and an enormous yielder of very large and beautiful clusters.
McPike — This mammoth black grape has been exhibited in all parts of the country, its great size, fine flavor and beauty creating quite a sensa¬ tion.
NIAGARA WHITE — Occupies the same position among the white varieties as Concord among the black; the leading profitable market sort. Bunch and berries large, greenish white changing to pale yellow when fully ripe.

Garden Roots — Asparagus and Rhubarb
Cultivation — See that the ground is well drained, natural¬ ly or otherwise, work it up fine and deep and make it very rich with well rotted barnyard manure. Locate the plants eight inches apart in rows three feet apart. Spread out the roots in a trench made deep enough to permit their crowns to be covered with three or four inches of mellow earth. Give the bed liberal dressings of manure at in¬ tervals, and except near the sea-shore, three pounds of salt per square yard early every spring. Do not cut for use until the plants have grown two seasons.
Palmetto — Until recently we believed that Conover’s Col¬ ossal was the best sort known, but we are now forced to concede that the Palmetto is earlier and a better yielder, and more even and better in growth, and that it will eventually supersede the old favorite. The average bunches contain 155 shoots, measuring thir¬ teen and one-half inches in circumference, weighing nearly two pounds. It has been tested both north and south, and has proved entirely successful in every in¬ stance.
Barr’s Mammoth — This is one of the finest varieties of asparagus ever offered, being large and early. Stalks are large, tender, and of light color.
Conover’s Colossal — This variety is superior in size and quality, remarkably tender and fine flavored. Valu¬ able for market and home use.
PRICE FOR ALL VARIETIES OF ASPARAGUS NAMED ABOVE Extra Strong 2 Year Roots 25 for $1.00, 100 for $2.00, 1,000 for $12.00.
Rhubarb (Pieplant)
The first thing in the spring to furnish material for pie and sauce. Its
health-giving, tonic properties make it invaluable as a spring regulator.
Easy to grow. Should be in every home garden. Plant in rows 4 feet
apart with roots 3 feet apart in row.
Myatt’s Linnaeus — The best variety for general use. Stems large, tender and of refined flavor. Yields abundantly. Prices of strong two-year roots, 15 cents each; 10 for $1.50; 100 for $10.00.
Horse Radish
English or Common — The variety in general use. Will stand a great deal of hardship and persist in soil year after year. Does best in deep, rich, cool soil. As high as ten tons have been received from an acre.
Plant in rows 3 feet apart and 1 foot apart in row.
Price Strong Sets: 10 for $1.00; 100 for $6.00.
New Washington Asparagus — This exceedingly resistant variety was de¬ veloped by the United States Department of Agriculture. It is the finest of the large type asparagus. Its quick growing habit makes it extremely tender. It is vigorous in growth, of a deep green color, with a purple tinge, a decidedly good variety for the commercial grower and unexcelled for the home garden. The flavor is excellent, having a peculiar and pleasing sweetness. Should give ,this variety a trial. Price, Extra Strong 2 Year Roots, 25 for $1.00; 100 for $3.00;

HARDY BUSH HYDRANGEA, PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA
Hardy Bush Hydrangea (Paniculata Grandiflora) — We urge our friends to plant the Hydrangea. Plant it for the following reasons: It is hardy, enduring the severest winters outdoors with¬ out protection. It is easily transplanted, not one in a thousand dying. It never fails to blos¬ som the first year planted; no matter how small the plant, it immediately buds out in great pro¬ fusion of flowers. When the specimens first open they are greenish white, later they turn to a pure white, and still later to a delicate pink.
PRICE STRONG 2 YEAR BUSHES, 18 to 24 inches, 45 cents each, 2 for 55 cents, 10 for $2.75.
BARBERRY [Berberis] Red Leaved Barberry. (Berberis Thunbergi Atropurpurea). A highly important introduction among shrubs, giving us for the first time a practical easily grown shrub of medium height, with good, distinctly red foliage. This must prove a boon to all types of landscaping, where studied contrasts are to be worked out with the shrub foliage depended on for colors. Atropurpurea is an exact reproduction of Thunbergi in every way — habit, leaf-formation and fruiting, but — whereas the original is a deep green from spring until fall, this variety starts off in its first foliage a warm bronzy red; the heat of summer intensifying its red brilliancy; autumn adding other tints to its richness. The abundant scarlet berries per¬ sist throughout the winter along the spiny twigs. A sunny exposure is necessary to bring out and retain its full red color. Price, strong 2 year Bushes, 12 to 18 inches, 60 cents each, 2 for 70 cents.
Japan Barberry. (Berberis Thunbergi.) There is no shrub in existence so generally planted or more practical for all purposes where beau¬ tiful foliage effect is desired than this. It is dwarf growing, uniformly bushy and rounded in form, susceptible to formal pruning, with small, numerous leaves densely covering the thorny twigs. These give it paramount im¬ portance for use as a filler, and edging for shrubbery groups; as a foundation screen in front of porches; and, above all, as a compact, impassable, hardy, low hedge for confining lawns or dividing properties. Although vari¬ able in accordance with seasonable conditions, the autumn foliage is scarlet or bronze, and the branches studded with crimson fruits.
Price, strong 2 year Bushes, well branched, 18 to 24 inches, 20c each; 10 for $1.75; 100 for $15.00. 2 to 3 feet, 25c each; 10 for $2,00;
100 for $18,00.

Received your catalogue and it is just what I have been waiting for, as I want to put in more trees and shrubs this Spring.
I receive several catalogues every Spring but I always wait for yours be¬ fore ordering, as I can save money by waiting and your trees have all done fine with me, so why pay twice the money for trees, when you do not have to.
The trees that I bought of you ten years ago have paid for themselves sev¬ eral times over.
Very truly yours.
Roe W. Wheeler.
