When it is left to usto choose the mode of convey, Directions ance, we will exercise our best jzdgment. We pack in such a manner that fruit trees ¢ omali fruits (excepting strawberries), ornamental trees, shrubs, evergreens, and roses, go aor as freight, a | Hardy border plants should be snipped by express.

Packing The Spring packing and shipping season usually cpens here about the first of Ave and con- Scasoa tinues 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 A | the trees to be planted. Hence, trees can be sent with safety from Rochestei to localities several degrees }| south, even if they do not arrive until the ordinary transplanting season in that locality is passed. In the’ autumn, we usually commence digging and packing the first week in October and continue untii the freez- | ing of the ground, say middle to end of November. a Fall The Spring planting season is often of such short duration that much intended work is neces- Plantin sarily cmitted or postponed. In the Fall there is abundance of time to plan and plant, and me) © work therefore can frequently be done as satisfactorily as in the Spring. | The once prevalent notion that Fall planting is not advantageous, has proved to be erroneous. Almost | everything called hardy can be planted successfully in the autumn, except in some regions where the win 7 | ters are extremely serere, ot in exposed situations, in which case Spring planting is absoluteiy necessary Tiled may be Raniaain successfully in August and September.

E take pleasure in presenting herewith our Catalogue for 1913, with revised and complete descriptions. The simple and systematic arrangement, combined with a ~*~ complete index, renders the publication very convenient ,-) for reference, and of great assistance to our patrons in making up their orders, and we think the present edition will serve, not merely as a catalogue or descriptive price list, but as a useful handbook and manual, containing valuable cultural directions, and other important hints, indispensable to planters.
In both the Fruit and Ornamental, as well as in the Rose Departments, our Nurseries are kept fully up to the times. We endeavor to procure, as soon as introduced, every novelty at home and abroad that promises to be worthy of dissemination, and we carefully test it in our trial grounds, which are maintained at large expense.
The immense stock which we cultivate, embracing great and varied collections suited to different soils and climates, and the large force of skilled nursery assistants which we have in our em-
ploy, in addition to exceptional facilities for lifting, handling,
packing and shipping, place us in a position to promise to our patrons the careful execution of all orders, large or small, that may be entrusted to us.
It is our aim and intention to supply only the best stock at the lowest prices consistent with the quality of the goods offered, and all intending purchasers will find it to their advantage to give us an opportu- nity to furnish estimates upon their lists.
It will be noted that we have omitted from the lists in both the Fruit and Ornamental Departments several varieties of Fruit and Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, and Roses, which, owing to the limited demand for them, we have con-
cluded not to propagate longer. Our patrons are requested to read carefully “‘ Hints on Transplanting,” “‘ The Prepara- tion of the Soil,” “The Preparation of the Trees,” “ Planting,” “* After Culture.” The information given under these headings is important, and success in planting will largely depend upon the careful observance of the suggestions made.
We are grateful for the liberal patronage which we have enjoyed for nearly three- quarters of a century and solicit a continuance of the same.

FRUIT DEPARTMENT
HINTS ON TRANSPLANTING, ETC.
We cannot attempt to give complete directions on all points connected with Tree Planting, but simply a few hints on the more important operations. Every man who purchases a bill of trees should put himself in possession of “THe Frurr Garpen” (see third page of cover), or some other treatise on tree culture, that will furnish him with full and reliable instructions on the routine of management. ‘Transplanting is to be considered under the following heads:
The For fruit trees the soil should be dry, either natural or made so by thorough drainage, as Preparation they will not live or thrive on a soil constantly saturated with stagnant moisture. It should Si thea Soil also be well prepared by twice plowing, at least, beforehand, using the subsoil plow after the common one at the second plowing. On new, fresh lands, manuring will be unnecessary ; but on lands exhausted by cropping, fertilizers must be applied, either by turning in heavy crops of clover, or well decomposed manure or compost. To ensure a good growth of fruit trees, land should be in as good condition as for a crop of wheat, corn, or potatoes. The In regard to this important operation, there are more fatal errors committed than in any Pre . other. As a general thing, trees are planted in the ground precisely as they are sent from
Paration the nurser Inr i iE tter h fully it be d ti f th
ee che Tees Wis emoving a tree, no matter how carefully it may be done, a portion of the
roots are broken and destroyed, and consequently the balance that existed in the structure of the tree is deranged. This must be restored by a proper pruning, adapted to the size, form and con- dition of the tree, as follows:
Sranparp Orcuarp Trees. These, as sent from the nursery, vary from five to seven feet in height, with naked stems or trunks, and a number of branches at the top forming a head. These branches should all be cut back to within three or four buds of their base. This lessens the demand upon the roots, and enables the remaining buds to push with vigor. Cut off smoothly all bruised or broken roots up to the sound wood.
Dwarr Trees, if of two or three years growth, with a number of side branches, will require to be pruned with a two-fold object in view, viz., the growth of the tree and the desired form. The branches must be cut into the form of a pyramid by shortening the lower ones, say one-half, those above them shorter, and the upper ones around the leading shoots to within two or three buds of their base. The leader itself must be shortened back one-half or more. When trees have been dried or injured much by exposure, the pruning must be closer than if in good order.
Yearuine Trees INTENDED For Pyramrps. Some of these may have a few side branches, the smallest.
of which should be cut clean away, reserving only the strongest and best placed. In other respects they should be pruned as directed for trees of two years growth. Those having no side branches should be cut back so far as to insure the production of a tier of branches within twelve inches of the ground. A strong yearling, four to six feet, may be cut back about half, and the weaker ones more than that. It is better to cut too low than not low enough, for if the first tier of branches be not low enough the pyramidal form cannot afterwards be perfected. Dig holes in the first place large enough to admit the roots of the tree to spread out in their natural position; then, having the tree pruned as before directed, let one person hold it in an upright position, and the other shovel in the earth, carefully putting the finest and the best from the sur- face in among the roots, filling every interstice, and bringing every root in contact with the soil. When the earth is nearly filled in, a pail of water may be thrown on to settle and wash in the earth around the _ roots; then fill in the remainder and tread gently with the foot. The use of water is seldom necessary, except in dry weather early in fall or late in spring. Guard against planting too deep; the trees, after the ground settles, should stand in this respect as they did in the nursery. Trees on dwarf stock should stand so that all the stock be under the ground, and no more. In very dry, gravelly ground, the holes should be dug twice the usual size and depth, and filled in with good loamy soil.

HINTS ON TRANSPLANTING, ETC.—Continued —
Staki If trees are tall and much exposed to winds, a stake should be planted with the tree, to which it taking chould be tied in such a manner as to avoid chafing. A piece of matting or cloth may be put between the tree and the stake.
: When the tree is planted throw around it as far as the roots extend, and a foot beyond, five or Mulching 55. inches deep of rough manure or litter. This is particularly necessary in dry ground, and is highly advantageous everywhere both in spring and fall planting. It prevents the ground from baking or cracking, and maintains an even temperature about the roots.
Af Gateuc The grass should not be allowed to grow around young trees after being planted, as it ter-Guiture = stunts their growth. The ground should be kept clean and loose around them until, at least, they are bearing size.
Ss : In regard to this all important subject we would recommend our patrons to communicate with PrayInS the Experiment Station in the state in which they live and get definite instructions about spraying for their particular locality, in bulletins published for the purpose.
Treatment of Trees that have been Frozen in the Packages or Received during Frosty Weather. Place the packages, unopened, in a cellar or some such place, cool, but free from frost, until perfectly thawed, when they can be unpacked, and either planted or placed in a trench until convenient to plant. Treated thus, they will not be injured by the freezing. Trees procured in the fall for spring plant- ing, should be laid in trenches in a slanting position to avoid the winds; the situation should always be sheltered and the soil dry. A mulching on the roots and a few evergreen boughs over the tops will afford good protection.
DISTANCE BETWEEN TREES OR PLANTS IN PLANTATIONS
Sranparp App tes, 30 to 40 feet apart each way. In poor soil, 25 feet may be enough.
Sranparp Pears anp Cuerrtes, 20 feet apart éach way. Cherries will do at 18 feet, and the dwarf growing sorts, Dukes and Morellos, even at 16 feet.
Sranparp Piums, Peacues, anD Apricots, 16 to 18 feet apart each way.
Qurixces, 10 to 12 feet apart each way.
Dwarr Pears, 10 to 12 feet apart each way. The greater distance is better where land is not scarce. Dwarr Appres, on Paradise stock (bushes), 6 feet apart.
Currants, GoOSEBERRIES, AND RASPBERRIES, 3 to 4 feet apart.
BiackBeERRIES, 6 to 7 feet apart.
Grapes, 8 to 10 feet apart.
SrrawBerries (see under Strawberries).

The number of plants required for an acre, at any given distance apart, may be ascertained by dividing the number of square feet in an acre (43,560) by the number of square feet given to each plant, which is obtained by multiplying the distance between rows by the distance between the plants. Thus, strawberries planted three feet by one foot gives each plant three square feet, or 14,520 plants to the acre.
se EXPERIMENTAL ORCHARD AND VINEYARD—TRIAL GROUNDS
Our experimental orchard forms an important feature of our business. No similar attempt has been made in this country either by individuals or the government. We have spared neither labor nor expense to maintain this orchard so as to derive from it the most reliable information, and after many years experi- ence we can testify that nothing in connection with our business has been productive of such satisfactory results as the important facts we have acquired from the tests in these grounds.
It has enabled us to determine from our own observations the fruits best adapted to this country, and the lists of varieties now published give evidence of the careful labor performed.
At one time our collection embraced many hundreds of varieties, but we have gradually reduced it, and we now have about 200 varieties of pears, 165 of apples, and 100 varieties of plums, and in our experimental vineyard 175 varieties of grapes.
In the departments of Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, Peonies, Roses, etc., we have similar collections fot study and experiment.

SELECT PEARS
The following list includes most of those which have been well tested and are valuable.
A special list of those which we find particularly well suited to the quince stock will be found at the end of the general list.
Gathering Pears. One of the most important points in the management of Pears, is to gather them at the proper time.
Summer Pears should be gathered at least ten days before they are ripe, and Autumn Fears at least a fortnight. Winter varieties, if they will hang so long, may be left until the leaves begin to fall.
Thin the Fruit. We cannot urge too strongly the following suggestion: when pears trees are heavily laden, the fruit should be thinned when about one-third grown; else the fruit will be poor and the trees injured.
Dwarr Pears are those which are budded on the quince stock and are particularly desirable for gardens, though from our own experience we have found certain varieties grown in this way very profitable for market.
Prices of Dwarf Pears are the same as for Standard Pears, except in some cases by the hun- dred as noted.
Grave. We offer but one grade of Standard and Dwarf Pears, viz., first-class or No. 1, as follows: Standard trees, about 5 to 6 feet in height; Dwarf trees, about 3 to 4 feet in height. The quantity which can be supplied is indicated by the price.
Prices—25 trees of one variety will be furnished at the 100 rate. 5 trees of one variety will be furnished at the 10 rate.

SELECT CHERRIES
The Cherry succeeds well on dry soils, and is susceptible of being trained in any form that taste or circumstances may require.
For orchards where there is ample room for large trees, and in climates where it is not subject to the bursting of the bark, standards with four or five feet of clean trunk are preferable.
For door-yards, where shade and ornament are taken into account, standards of the free growing sorts, with erect habit and large foliage, are the most suitable.
Grave. We offer but one grade of Cherry trees, viz., first class or No.1, as follows: Sweet cherries, average 5 to 6 feet in height; Sour cherries, average 4 to 5 feet in height.
Prices. 25 trees of one variety will be furnished at the 100 rate. 5 trees of one variety will be furnished at the 10 rate. The quantity which can be supplied is indicated by the price.

DUKES AND MORELLOS
These two classes of cherries are very distinct from the preceding. The trees are of smaller size, and grow more slowly; the leaves are thickerand more erect, and of a deeper green. The fruit is generally round, and in color varying from light red to dark brown. The Dukes have stout, erect branches usually, and some of them, like Reine Hortense, quite sweet fruit; while the Morellos have slender, spreading branches, and acid fruitinvariably. Their hardiness renders them well worthy of attention in localities where the Heart and Bigarreau are too tender.

SELECT PLUMS
The prevalence of the disease of the Plum commonly called the ‘black knot,’’ and of the insect known as the curculio, has discouraged people generally from giving to the Plum its merited share of attention.
Nothing is more favorable to the growth of the black fungus, or knot, than neglect. Our preventives and remedies are good clean culture and prompt amputation.
Sprayine. For the curculio, the most practical treatment is thorough spraying with arsenate of lead, using two to three pounds of poison to fifty gallons of water or dilute lime-sulphur solution, the poison to be applied just as the husks are dropping from the fruit, and again about ten days after the first treatment.
Trees are generally 5 to 6 feet in height, and, like all the stone fruits, should have heads as low as
ossible. ; Grave. We offer but one grade of Plum trees, viz., first-class or No. 1, averaging about 5 to 6 feet in height. Paides Hs trees of one variety will be furnished at the 100 rate. 5 trees of one variety will be fur- nished at the 10 rate. The quantity which can be supplied is indicated by the price.

se SELECT PEACHES
To secure healthy, vigorous and fruitful trees and fine fruit, the following points must be well attended
to in peach culture: Ist. dressing of wood ashes.
Keep the ground clean and mellow around the trees, and give it an occasional 2d. Keep the heads low —the trunks ought not to exceed three feet in height.
3d. Attend regularly every spring to pruning and shortening the shoots of the previous year’s growth. This keeps the head round, full, and well furnished with bearing wood. Cut weak shoots back about one-
half, and strong ones one-third; but see that you have a sufficient supply of fruit buds.
fluous shoots should be cut clean out.
Sickly and super-
It should always be borne in mind that the fruit is produced on wood of the last season’ s growth, and hence the necessity of keeping up a good supply of vigorous annual shoots all over the tree.
Nore.—1n planting peaches, it is of the highest importance to cut back the trees severely. The stem should be reduced about one-third and the side branches cut back to one bud. This lessens the demand upon the roots, and enables the remaining buds to push more vigorously. Most failures in newly planted orchards may be ascribed to a non-observance of these directions.

RASPBERRIES
To keep a raspberry bed in good productive condition, the old, weak and dead wood should be cut out every season, to give strength to the young shoots for the next year’s bearing. In the spring the weakest suckers should be removed, leaving five or six of the strongest in each hill. The ground should be spaded and a top dressing of manure given.
Protection. To guard against injury by the Winter, the canes may be tied to stakes and covered with straw, or they may be laid down in the Autumn and covered with a few inches of earth, leaves, litter, or branches of evergreens.
They can be planted in the Fall or Spring with success. Black Caps cannot be planted in the Fall.

STRAWBERRIES DIRECTIONS FOR CULTURE
The Soil and its Preparation. The Strawberry may be successfully grown in any soil adapted to the growth of ordinary field or garden crops. The ground should be well prepared by trenching or plowing, at least eighteen or twenty inches deep, and be properly enriched as for any garden crop. It is unnecessary to say that, if the land is wet, it must be thoroughly drained.
To Cultivate the Strawberry. For family use, we recommend planting in beds four feet wide, with an alley two feet wide between. These beds will accommodate three rows of plants, which may stand fifteen inches apart each way, and the outside row nine inches from the alley. The beds can be kept clean and the fruit can be gathered from them without setting the feet upon them.
Covering in Winter. Where the winters are severe, with little snow for protection, a slight cover- ing of leaves or litter, or the branches of evergreens, will be of great service. This covering should not be placed over the plants until after the ground is frozen, usually from the middle of November till the first of December in this locality. Fatal errors are often made by putting on too much and too early. Care must also be taken to remove the covering in the spring, just as soon as the plants begin to grow.
Mulching to Keep the Fruit Clean. Before the fruit begins to ripen, mulch the ground around the plants with short hay or straw, or grass mowings from the lawn, or anything of that sort. This will not only keep the fruit clean, but will prevent the ground from drying or baking, and thus lengthen the fruiting season. Tan bark can also be used as mulch.
A bed managed in this way will give two full crops, and should then be spaded or plowed down, a new one in the meantime having been prepared to take its place.

ASPARAGUS
DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING ASPARAGUS
Prepare the ground by trenching to the depth of two feet, mixing each layer of soil, as turned over, with two or three inches of well-rotted manure. For private use or for market- ing on a small scale, beds should be formed 5 feet wide, with three rows planted in each, one in the middle, and one on each side, a foot from the edge; the distance of the plants in the rows, 9 inches; the alleys between the beds should be two
of the plants. The plants are then laid against the side of the trench, at the distance already named—9 inches—care being taken to properly spread the roots. The crown or top of the plant should be covered about 2 inches. In a week or so after planting the beds should be touched over lightly with a sharp steel rake, which will destroy the germinating weeds. —Gardening for Profit.

ORNAMENTAL DEPARTMENT
jo BRIEF SUGGESTIONS TO PLANTERS What In this and similar climates, where great extremes of temperature are experienced, it is
to Plant Becessary to employ only the most hardy ornamental trees and shrubs. Impressed with the
importance of this fact, and in order that our customers may be spared much disappointment and expense, we have omitted from our catalogue, as far as possible, everything which is liable to suffer from severe cold.
We have also taken great pains to secure, both at home and abroad, all valuable hardy material so as to render our assortment of this class as complete as possible. An examination of the catalogue shows what an extensive variety of stock is offered, enabling the planter by a judicious use of the same to accom- plish any desired result with perfectly hardy trees, shrubs and plants.
For the convenience of planters we have grouped the trees under the following heads: Trees remark- able for their flowers, Trees of drooping habit, Trees with variegated and colored foliage, Trees with cut or dissected foliage. The shrubs have been similarly arranged, and parties desiring to make selections for particular purposes will find this classification useful.
For Parks anp ExtrenstvE Grounps. No difficulty can be experienced by anyone in making selec- tions for this purpose. But we cannot impress too strongly upon planters the importance and value of flowering shrubs for effective masses and groups. There are many who imagine that the Rhododendron and Azalea are indispensable. This is a great error. In this latitude both Rhododendron and Azalea require prepared soil and protection, while hardy shrubs like the Weigela, Deutzia, Spirea, Hardy Hydrangea, Japan Quince, Double-flowered Almond, Lilac, Viburnum, Althzea, Peony, Phlox and Japan Anemone, when planted in masses, produce a magnificent effect, need no protection, and demand little skill or care in their management. What grand masses of bloom can be had throughout the season by a proper use of the various families! Then, the purple and variegated-leaved trees and shrubs may also be planted in such a manner as to afford a rich and striking contrast.
Groups of flowering trees form superb objects at the flowering season, and it is strange that planters do not employ them more.
Highly effective groups can be formed of trees and shrubs possessing bright-colored bark in winter.
For Lawns anp Smart Praces. Whatever specimens are planted should be of the finest species, of moderate size, of graceful habit of growth and handsome foliage.
A pendulous tree or one with variegated foliage may be occasionally introduced, and will add to the beauty of the grounds. Depend mainly upon dwarf shrubs for small places, and in selecting aim at secur- ing a succession of bloom. Dwarf evergreens are very useful, and in small grounds hardy herbaceous border plants can be used with the most satisfactory results; a proper selection will afford as much bloom as ordinary bedding plants, and at half the trouble and expense.
When Deciduous Trees, Shrubs and Vines can be planted either in Spring or Fall. In localities where id Pint the Winters are very severe we recommend Spring planting. Spring is the best time for ever-
greens generally, but they may also be transplanted successfully in August and early in Sep- tember if favorable weather prevails at planting time.

BRIEF SUGGESTIONS TO PLANTERS—Continued
How PREPARATION OF THE Roots. Cut off smoothly all bruised or broken roots up to the sound to Plant wood. This prevents their decaying and hastens the emission of new roots and fibres.
PREPARATION OF THE Top. This consists in cutting back the top and side branches in such a way as to correspond with the more or less mutilated roots, as follows: Trees with branching heads should have the small branches cut clean out, and the larger ones, intended for the framework of the tree, cut back to within two or three buds of their base.
In cases where there is an abundant root and small top or few branches, the pruning need be very light, but where the roots are small and the top heavy, severe pruning will be necessary. These remarks are applicable to all deciduous Trees and Shrubs. Evergreens seldom require pruning, but Arbor Vite and other Evergreens planted in hedge rows may be advantageously shorn immediately after planting.
Directions for planting, mulching, staking, and after culture, same as for fruit trees (see Hints in Fruit
Department, pages 6-7). Pruning, as practiced by some people, has the effect to render trees and shrubs unnatural and inelegant. We refer to the custom of shearing trees, particularly conifers, into cones, pyramids and other unnatural shapes. Every tree, shrub and plant has a habit of growth peculiar to itself, and this very peculiarity is one of its beauties. If we prune all trees into regular shapes we destroy their identity. The pruning knife, therefore, should be used to assist nature, and handled with judgment and care; to lop off straggling branches, to thin the head of a tree which has become too dense, and to remove dead wood. Sometimes it becomes necessary to prune severely to keep a tree from attaining too great size.
SHEARING may be practiced on hedges, but never on trees or shrubs.
Pruning Many persons trim and shear them into regular shapes, imagining that regular outline adds to Shrubs their effect and beauty. While symmetry and regularity of form are to be admired in a shrub, this quality should never be gained at the expense of health and natural grace.
Each shrub has peculiarities of habit and foliage, and we should aim to preserve them as far as pos- sible. Judicious pruning to secure health and vigor is necessary, but trimming all kinds of shrubs into one form shows a lack of appreciation for natural beauty, to say the least. Weigelas, Deutzias, Forsythias and Mock Orange flower on the wood of the preceding year’s growth, hence the shrubs should not be pruned in Winter or Spring, but in June, after they have finished flowering, when the old wood should be shortened or cut out, thus promoting the growth of the young wood, which is to flower the following season.
Spireas, Lilacs, Altheeas and Honeysuckles may be trimmed during the Winter or early in Spring, but. the branches should only be reduced enough to keep them in good shape. The old growth should be occa- sionally thinned out and the suckers and root sprouts removed when they appear. The best time, however, for pruning all shrubs is when they have done flowering. The Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora should be severely cut back and thinned early in Spring.
Pruning Use the knife occasionally to thicken the growth and preserve the shape. This can be done Evergreens in April or May, just before the trees start to grow.

CLASS III.—A List of Trees possessing remarkable characteristics of foliage, in three sections—Cut- leaved, Variegated and Colored, and described in their respective places in the Catalogue.
CLASS IV.—Coniferz or Evergreens.
In order that planters may be able to form an idea of the size which trees and shrubs attain at maturity, a point which should always be taken into consideration at the time of planting, so that the specimens may occupy the proper position, we have adopted letters to denote the proper classes, as follows:
A denotes trees which attain the largest size, 50 feet and upwards. 66 ee
Bini bs ** secondary size, 20 to 40 feet. Cc rs oe oe oe ‘© medium size, 9 to 15 feet. 1 9 ea ** and shrubs which attain only small size, 1 to 8 feet.
Our object in the above classification is to lessen the labor and difficulty, as far as possible, of making selections adapted to particular purposes.
The botanical name of the genus or family, as well as the species or variety, is placed first in Full Faced conspicuous type. The English name follows in smatx caprrats. It is to be hoped that with the aid of the complete index of botanical and English names, to be found on the last page, no difficulty will be experienced in finding any tree, shrub or plant described in the Catalogue.

CLASS IV.—CONIFER. (Evergreens)
Norr.—Many fine conifers are entirely too tender to be cultivated successfully at the North, and we have therefore dropped them from our list.
We are now giving special attention to the propagation and culture of perfectly hardy species and varieties, such as are most useful to the general planter.
We recommend Spring planting for Conifers, but they may also be transplanted successfully in August and early in September, if favorable weather prevails at the planting time.
All Evergreens will be lifted with ball of earth, and roots wrapped in burlap.
Prices are for trees of sizes indicated. Larger trees charged for in proportion to size. 5 of one variety will be furnished at 10 rate. 25 of one variety will be furmshed at 100 rate.

ACTINIDIA A. arguta. A rapid growing, climbing plant from Japan. The flowers are white with a purple
center, and sometimes cover the whole vine. The fruit is round, edible and has a fine flavor. Handsome large, clean, dark green foliage —a most desirable climber. 50c each; 10 for $4.00.

AMPELOPSIS
quinquefolia. American Ivy, or Virermtan Creeper. Rich crimson in autumn; a very rapid grower. One of the finest vines for covering walls, verandas or trunks of trees; affords shade quickly. 35c each; 10 for $2.50; 100 for $15.00. var. Engelmanni. A splendid climber, grows 6 to 10 feet in a season. This variety has become very popular on account of its ability to cling to walls, etc., without wire trellis. 35c each; 10 for $2.50; 100 for $15.00.
53
i. Veitchii. Japan Creeper. Boston Ivy. Leaves overlap one another, form a dense sheet of green. It grows rapidly and clings to wall or fence with the tenacity of Ivy; the foliage is very hand- some in summer, and changes to crimson scarlet in autumn. For covering walls, stumps of trees, -rockeries, etc., no plant is so useful. For the ornamentation of brick and stone structures, it can be specially recommended. 35c each; 10 for $2.50; 100 for $15.00.
A New Ampelopsis
Lowii. Beautifully cut leaves, apple green, turn in autumn to bright red hues. The young growths cling closely and give a very lacy effect. Has a peculiarity of not clogging the gutter, hangs over in the form of a shower of young growths, which give a splendid effect. 50c each; 10 for $4.00.

CLEMATIS. Virgin’s Bower
None among hardy perennials exceed in beauty and effectiveness the finer sorts of Clematis. As aclimber for the veranda, a screen for fences, for pillars along the garden walks, for training on walls or arbors, in masses on rockwork, or cultivation in pots, it has no rival among strong growing blossoming plants. The Clematis should be grown in rich, deep, sandy loam, and be well mulched with rotten manure in winter. The richest sheets of bloom and largest flowers are obtained where it has partial shade and a liberal supply of water at the roots.
After many years’ experience we have come to the con- clusion to grow only a few varieties whieh have proved worthy of general cultivation. The leading and best varieties are Jackmanni, Henryi, Mme. Edward Andre, paniculata and Sieboldii.
C. Henryi. Very large, fine form; free grower and bloomer; creamy white. 75c each; 10 for $6.00.

HEDGE PLANTS
Which may be employed for Ornament, Shelter, Screens and Defense
For these purposes we recommend Evergreens like the American and Siberian Arbor Vite, Norway Spruce, Austrian, White and Scotch Pines, Hemlocks, and many of the Deciduous and Evergreen shrubs, such as the Privet, the California, Ibota, English and Regelianum, Berberis Thunbergii, Rosa Rugosa, Spireas, etc., and for defensive hedges, the American Thorn, Honey Locust and Osage Orange.
FOR ORNAMENT
The Siberian Arbor Vite, in our opinion, takes the precedence among Evergreens as an Ornamental Evergreen Hedge Plant. Its thrifty, compact growth, fine form, great hardihood and deep green color, which its foliage retains throughout the year, adapt it especially for dividing lines between lawns or gardens, or for hedges along streets or avenues.
The American Arbor Vite, though not quite so ornamental in character, being less dense in growth = spreading in habit, forms a handsome hedge. It may be obtained at less cost than any other Evergreen edge plant. ‘
With careful pruning the Norway Spruce may be kept low and in good shape, and grown in this manner is highly ornamental. The Hemlock is a very beautiful Evergreen Hedge Plant.
Berberis Thunbergu and Rosa Rugosa are very desirable for low hedges.
FOR SHELTER AND SCREENS
For planting in belts to afford shelter from violent winds, or for concealing unsightly objects or views, or for boundary lines, we recommend the Norway Spruce and Austrian, White and Scotch Pines. Their robust habit, rapid, dense growth, and entire hardiness are characteristics not easily to be found in other Evergreens.
The American Arbor Vite also is particularly valuable, either for shelter or screens.
DEFENSIVE HEDGES For turning cattle and as a farm hedge for general purposes, the Honey Locust, in this locality and farther north, is the most valuable. It is of vigorous growth, perfectly hardy, and thrives with ordinary care, and is sufficiently thorny to be impenetrable. It bears the shears with impunity, and can be grown in any desired form. The Osage Orange is also in great favor. The varieties of the American Thorn are de- sirable hedge plants. DIRECTIONS FOR SETTING
Evergreens must be handled with care, so as not to allow the roots to become dried by the wind. Plants for hedges should be placed about twelve inches apart; larger sized plants will require more space.
California Privet, Honey Locust, and Osage Orange are generally planted in double rows about nine inches apart, setting the plants alternately in the rows; for example, to plant a hedge of California Privet 100 feet in length, would require 267 plants.
Other deciduous shrubs for hedges should be planted about twelve inches apart. PRUNING
Evergreens should be pruned in spring, just before they commence growing. Summer pruning may be practiced on the Arbor Vite should the growth be too rapid.
California Privet should be cut down to within six inches of the ground just as soonas planted. This will induce a vigorous growth and make a dense hedge.

HERBACEOUS PAONIES
A noble flower, almost rivaling the Rose in brilliancy of color and perfection of bloom, and the Rhododendron in stately growth. The first point in its favor is hardiness. It may be truly said to be “hardy as an oak.’’ In the severest climate the, plants require no other protection than that which they afford themselves. Then their vigorous habit and healthy growth, freedom from all diseases and insects are important arguments in favor of their cultivation. Each succeeding year adds to their size and beauty. The foli- age is rich and glossy and of a beautiful deep green color, thus rendering the plants very ornamental even when out of flower. The newer varieties produce very large, handsome, regularly formed cupped blooms, resembling large roses. No other flower is so well adapted for large, showy bouquets. The Peony may be planted either singly on the lawn or in borders. Where the lawn is extensive a large bed makes a grand show, surpassing a bed of Rhododendrons. It is really a flower for the million. It flowers early in June. Our col- lection has been made with great care and includes the best and most distinct varieties.

HARDY PHLOXES
PHLOX
Are of vigorous habit, easy culture and produce in great profusion during a long season, flowers of fine form and sub- stance and of bright and varied colors. As regards their cul- ture, it may be briefly stated that they succeed in any good garden soil, but they are greatly improved by being liberally manured, and an occasional supply of liquid manure during the growing season will greatly increase the size of their trusses. When in flower they should be watered freely every evening. The Phlox usually flowers in July and August, and in order to render it autumnal flowering, it is necessary to pinch the shoots about the first of June and again in July. The plants will then flower in September. For early flowers some of the plants may be left unpinched. When two years old the finest trusses are produced. The third year the plants flower tolerably well; but they will not keep thrifty and healthy after that. The old plants should then be lifted in the fall, divided and transplanted. But the better plan is to keep up a succession of young plants from cuttings by secur- ing a fresh collection every year. We annually introduce all new and desirable varieties of home and foreign production. The best time to plant them isin the autumn. Our plants are large and fine.

ROSE DEPARTMENT
<Jo
The Rose is a specialty with us and we propagate it on a most extensive scale.
We annually import all new varieties of apparent merit and carefully test them, retaining only such kinds as prove meritorious, and the same course is pursued with regard to novelties originated in this country, so that our collection embraces the best.
We endeavor, in our Catalogue, to present the merits of each variety fairly and faithfully, being cautious not to overpraise, preferring to say too little rather than too much. Recognizing the importance of robust, healthy habit, hardiness and freedom of bloom, combined with beauty of flower, we propagate largely varieties possessing these characteristics, and most strongly and confidently recommend such kinds for general planting; and we also give due attention to those choice and beautiful varieties which are less vigorous ‘or robust, and which therefore require extra care to be grown to perfection. In the hands of the rose lover these moderate growers receive the attention they justly deserve, and amply repay the skill and care bestowed upon them.
Our immense stock and great variety of hardy roses enable us to furnish assortments adapted to various purposes, and intending purchasers are invited to examine our lists, and whenever we can be of any assist- ance in making selections our services will be cheerfully given.
MANETTI STOCK
We propagate roses principally by budding them low on the Manetti. We find many varieties of roses grown on this stock adapt themselves to a greater range of climate and soil, bloom more profusely, endure better the heat of the summer, and make far stronger plants than if grown on their own roots. Many object to budded roses on account of the suckers they sometimes throw out; but if proper attention is paid to the planting, this will rarely be an annoyance.
Budded roses should be planted sufficiently deep, so that the junction of the bud with the stock is from two to three inches below the surface of the earth. We cannot too forcibly direct attention to the above rule.
BRIEF DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING, ETC.
When to Plant.—If the situation be not too much exposed where the roses are to be set out, we pre- fer fall planting for all hardy kinds. Dormant plants set out in the spring should be planted early, for no plant suffers more from being set out late than the rose. The plants should be put in friable, rich soil, and firmly pressed in with the foot, taking care not to bruise the roots.
Pruning.—This operation is best performed during March. Most roses do better if moderately pruned; some sorts require two-thirds of the past year’s growth removed; for others, to remove one-half or one-third is sufficient. All must be more or less pruned when planted ; do not neglect this. Asa general rule, the more vigorous the variety the less it should be pruned. All weak or decayed wood should be entirely cut out, and also any shoots that crowd the plant, and prevent free entrance of light and air. Besides spring pruning, many kinds of Hybrid Perpetuals require to be pruned as soon as their first blossoming is over, in order to induce a free display of flowers in autumn.
Protection.—All roses would be better for a light covering. This may be done by hilling up with earth; or better, by strewing leaves or straw lightly over the plants and securing them with evergreen branches; oftentimes the latter are in themselves sufficient.
Insects.—If proper attention is paid to soil, planting, watering, etc., and a few simple directions heeded, you will not often be greatly troubled. The Aphis is among the most annoying foes, and particu- larly infests plants in houses; healthy plants in the garden are but little liable to its attacks. There are numerous recipes for its destruction, and the cultivator can use those which are most convenient and efficacious. .

BRIEF DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING, ETC.— Continued
The vapor of tobacco is very effective in destroying insects. It is customary to strew the ground under the plants with tobacco stems, which being moistened by the syringing creates a vapor which is destructive to insect life.
In the month of May, or as soon as the leaves have pushed forth, the rose caterpillar makes it appear- ance; he can readily be detected, for he glues a leaf or two together to form his shelter. Every day the bushes should be gone over, and these glued leaves pinched between the finger and thumb, so as to crush the caterpillar; let no fastidious grower neglect this, or be induced to try other remedies; this is the only one that is simple and effective. For other insects, such as the saw fly, larvae, and all such as come ata later date than the caterpillar, an occasional syringing, vigorously applied, will prove an excellent prevent- ive. When they have made their appearance, a sprinkling of powdered white hellebore over the plants will often destroy or disperse them; but the plants should be well moistened before the hellebore is applied, so that it will remain.
For the rose bug, hand picking must be resorted to; it is proof against hellebore, whale-oil soap, and all such applications.
Mildew.—This disease is generally caused by extremes of heat and cold, and by a long continuance of damp, cloudy weather. The best remedies are sulphur and soot; one of these should be applied the moment the disease makes its appearance. Itis a good plan to previously sprinkle the plants with water, so that the substance applied will adhere.
ADVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS
See also Second Page of Cover
Amateurs in ordering will do well to leave the selections to us so far as possible, but our list is open to all to make their own selections. Purchasers, however, will please say if they wish us to substitute in case all the varieties ordered cannot be supplied.
Roses by Express.—When no directions are given as to what way the plants are to be sent, we always Sorward by Express at the purchaser’s cost. The plants which we send in this way (except the new and very scarce varieties) are one-year-old buds, and are dormant. These plants are the only ones suitable for imme- diate effective results.
Note carefully the habit of growth as stated in the description, and you will not be disappointed in the size of the plants. We have the v ery best quality of each kind that it is possible to grow.
ABBREVIATIONS USED, DESCRIBING THE HABIT OF GROWTH
Vig.—For vigorous, being those varieties which are most rampant in growth and produce long, strong shoots.
Free.—Varieties which rank next to the above in growth. Mod.—Moderate; these make a fair, compact growth, but less strong than the preceding. Dwf.—These are the most delicate or slow growing sorts.
MANNER OF DESCRIPTION
lst.—Habit of Growth.—Vig., free, mod., dwf. 2d.—Color.—The prevailing shade in the most perfect development of the flower.
3d.—Size.—Smatt: Flowers from 1 to 2 inches in diameter. Merpitum: 2 to 3 inches. Larce: 3to4 inches. Very Larce: 4 to 5 inches.
4th.—Fullness.—Srem1-Dovste: With 2 to 4 rows of petals. Dovusrte: Having more than 4 rows of petals, but which show the stamens when fully blown. Furi: When the stamens are hid.
5th.—Form.—Cvprep: Inner petals shorter than the outer ones, the latter stand erect and are gener- ally somewhat incurved. Grosutar: Outer petals are concave with convex edges, folding richly one about the other, tapering from thecenter. Frar: The surface of the flower is level or nearly even, and all the petals are exposed to view.
6th—Peculiarities of foliage, thorns, number of leaflets, fragrance, etc. It is hoped that the above will make intelligible the terms used to describe the different varieties.
Particular attention is called to the care we have always exercised in keep-
ing our stock true to name, and also that, with very few exceptions, separately noted, we grow those sorts only that are thoroughly distinct, and of healthy habit. Also
our plants are large, healthy and vigorous, 2 years field grown, and will bloom first season after planting.

AYRSHIRE ROSES
These are of slender, rapid growth, often running fifteen feet in one season, and are used in covering buildings, etc. They do not require richsoil, and should be pruned very little, or not.at all.
Bennett’s Seedling, vig. Pure white double flowers of medium size.
CLIMBING POLY ANTHA ROSES (Ramblers)
The popular “‘ Crimson Rambler ’”’ is the type of this family and is still regarded as one of the best climbers grown. Since its introduction a few years ago many new varieties of ster- ling merit have been brought out so that the collection now offered embraces a charming and varied assortment, of both double and single flowered varieties of every shade of color, all well adapted for covering arches, pillars, pergolas, veran- dahs, trellises, etc. They are all vigorous growers and pro- duce their flowers abundantly and in large trusses.
Blush Rambler, vig. In growth similar to Crim- son Rambler; flowers single, perfectly round, very fragrant, and produced in large clusters; color a rich blush. A free bloomer.
Crimson Rambler. The wonderful Japanese Rose, by far the most important and valuable acqui- sition of recent years. Itis arunning or climbing rose of vigorous habit, strong and rapid growth, with handsome, shining foliage, and produces in marvelous abundance clusters of the brightest crimson semi-double roses. Its clustered form, its brilliancy, the abundance of its bloom, and the great length of time the flowers remain on the plant without falling or losing their bril- liancy, are qualities which make this a great favorite. For verandahs, walls, pillars, and fences, it is a most suitable plant. If grown in beds and pegged down it produces marvelous heads of bloom, or it can be grown in bush form and thus becomes a most striking object. But it is not only for out-door use that is valu- able; it can be employed most satisfactorily for decorating in-doors when grown in pots, and for forcing at Easter time when pot-grown specimens bring high prices.

It is exceed- ingly free-blooming, and towards the end of June the plant is covered with great clusters of small white, single, sweetly fragrant flowers, in which the golden-colored anthers make a charming contrast with the snowy-white petals.

MRS. FLIGHT
THE VIOLET BLUE RAMBLER
Veilchenblau (Violet Blue). This new rambler, which is hailed by the German rose growers as the forerunner of a genuinely cornflower blue rose, is a seedling of Crimson Rambler. The blos- soms, massed in large umbels, are semi-double, of medium size. The color on first unfolding is either reddish pink or purplish pink, then turns amethyst, and finally steel blue as the flower fades. The general color impression is that of the March violet. The yellow stamens appear in sharp contrast to the blue petals. The plant is vigorous in growth, with shining green foliage and few but sharp thorns. Very hardy.
NEW RAMBLERS Said to be Everblooming
Flower of Fairfield. A sport from the famous and beautiful Crimson Rambler, similar in color, but more brilliant and more lasting than the old favorite. It possesses a further advantage over any other Rambler in the fact that it flowers profusely on the young wood in its first year. Of vigorous growth, and when in bloom super- sedes anything else by the wonderful display of its brilliant crimson clusters of blossoms.
Miss G. Mesman (Climbing Baby Rambler). Bears large, compact panicles of bright carmine flowers. As strong a grower as Crimson Ram- bler but not as thorny and free from mildew.
Trier. Flowers pale salmon pink with yellow anthers; flowers small, almost single, produced in large clusters; dark green leathery foliage.

PRAIRIE ROSES
These are among the most valuable of climbers. The fol- age is rough, large, with five leaflets generally of a dark color; for rapidity of growth they equal the Ayrshires, and surpass all climbers in hardiness. The flowers are produced in large clusters late in the season when other summer roses are gone. When it is desired to cover walls, unsightly buildings, etc., with roses, none will be found to do the work so effi- ciently as varieties of the Prairie Rose.
Baltimore Belle, vig. Pale blush, becoming nearly white; compact and fine.
Queen of the Prairie, vig. quently with white stripe. quite deeply serrated.

WICHURIANA ROSES (Climbing and Trailing)
This section embraces some very valuable and interesting material for covering rockwork, creeping over banks and tree stumps, also for use as pillar roses. The hybrids introduced in the last few years are remarkable for their beauty and will have many admirers as soon as they become known. The many acquisitions in this class should result in creating a fresh interest in Rose culture.
Alberic Barbier, vig. Semi-double or double, in clusters; creamy white, canary yellow in cen- ter, darker yellow in bud; fragrant. A strong grower.
Dorothy Perkins, vig. Large for a rose of this class, very double, of a beautiful shell pink color, sweetly scented, and borne in clusters of thirty or forty. One of the best.

They are pure white, 114 to 2 inches across, with yellow stamens, and having a strong fragrance. It is quite hardy, with the exception of the latest immature growth, which may be cut back to some extent. This variety has proved valuable as a covering for banks, rockeries, etc., and for use in cemeteries.

MOSS ROSES
This is a favorite class with everyone, on account of the beautiful buds, which, for bouquets and cut flowers, are invaluable.
They are subject, as a class, to mildew, and require close pruning and high culture. They amply repay careful atten- tion by the increased size and beauty of the flowers. They are all very hardy. The foliage is generally somewhat crimpled, and has mostly seven leaflets.

HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES
This class thrives the best in a rich soil. The pruning should be regulated by the habit of growth, the weak shoots should be closely cut in, those which are vigorous left longer. Most of the varieties are fragrant.
Although they are styled perpetual bloomers, none of them are such in reality. However, many of them yield a fair sec- ond crop of flowers in the autumn, which is very acceptable, Aside from this, there is no class, take it all in all, so popular and which gives such general satisfaction.

RUGOSA ROSES AND THEIR HYBRIDS
This valuable and interesting group is of Japanese origin. The plants are vigorous growers, attaining a height of three to four feet, have handsome foliage, and bear seed pods which are very ornamental. These desirable qualities, added to exceptional hardiness, render this one of the most valua- ble collections in the catalogue for general planting. The flowers of both single and double varieties are beautiful and freely produced, but cannot be used as cut flowers on account of their thorns. The recently introduced doubles like Conrad F. Meyer, Blanc Double de Coubert and Nova Zembla, are acquisitions of great merit. They are all continuous bloom- ers and particularly valuable for garden decoration.

Conrad F. Meyer, vig. Flowers large, 314 to 4 inches across, bud well formed, color silvery rose; fragrant; very valuable on account of its hardiness and vigor.
““A rose that seems to come midway between La France and Mme. G. Luizet, both in form and color, but with a growth almost as lusty as a Lilac, would, I think, be a true description of the above splendid variety. It is deliciously fragrant, and the foliage has that leathery texture that enables it to withstand cutting winds and even slight frosts, so that instead of a plant marred by the climatic vicissitudes of the spring, we have one a picture of health. I could not name a better rose for a town grower.’’—Garden, London, Eng.
Madame G. Bruant, vig. In the bud state the flowers are long and pointed, when open, semi- double; pure white and fragrant, and produced freely in clusters at intervals throughout the summer; exceptionally hardy and vigorous; forms a handsome bush. Budded plants.

HYBRID TEA AND TEA ROSES (Half Hardy)
The roses included in this section are valued especially for their free and continuous blooming qualities which render them particularly useful to plant in beds and groups for the ornamentation of the lawn or to grow in the garden for a supply of cut flowers for decorative purposes.
The collection embraces several of the choicest roses which can be recommended in the strongest terms to plant- ers with the suggestion that they require better winter pro- tection than do the Hybrid Perpetuals. The plants need to be well banked up with earth and covered with straw or evergreen boughs, while those planted in beds should also be protected with boards to keep off wet and moisture.
The extra care devoted to the roses in this class will be amply repaid in the satisfactory flowers produced abundantly and continuously during the summer.
Caroline Testout [H.T.], vig. Large and double, color clear bright rose, very sweet, resembling La France, but of more sturdy habit, very free flowering; one of the best roses.

Jonkheer J. L. Mock. One of the most promising of recently introduced roses. It is vigorous and sends up strong, erect, flowering shoots; the flowers are of perfect form, of a lovely carmine color, changing to pink, and highly fragrant; they possess the marked peculiarity of develop- ing slowly and lasting for a long time.

DWARF POLYANTHA ROSES Ideal Bedding Roses, Admirably Suited for Bouquets and Boutonnieres.
This is a novel, distinct and charming class of roses. The plant is of dwarf habit and bears abundantly and continu- ously clusters of dainty, small flowers, of perfect form and of various shades of color. While they are admirably suited to cut for bouquets and boutonnieres, they are ideal bedding roses, and supply a long felt want among rose culturists for that purpose. To obtain the best results they should be planted in beds or masses, 25, 50 or 100 plants together, thus Insuring a very effective group. These important and valu- able additions should give a new impetus to rose culture, Anny Miller (Rosre-cotorrep Basy Ramster), vig.

Madame Norbert Levavasseur (Crimson Baby Rambler), vig. Hardy, vigorous and perpet- ual flowering. The flowers are large, well formed, of a crimson red color, and borne in clusters. For growing in pots in the house, or as a bedding variety, it will be found invaluable.
Maman Levavasseur (Baby Dorothy), (Pink Baby Rambler), vig. Clear brilliant pink and very freely produced.
NEW GOLD MEDAL ROSE
Orleans. One of the most valuable of the Dwarf Polyantha section. The plant is vigorous, very free flowering, and the trusses are very large; color, geranium red suffused with rose. It flow- ers allsummer. It is said to be the best Poly- antha ever raised. We regard it as a most important acquisition for bedding.
“The Orleans Rose is, without a doubt, the best of the
Dwarf Polyantha varieties. The pyramidal trusses of bloom
are of immense size, making a highly decorative pot plant.” —London Garden.
NEW BABY RAMBLERS
Joan of Arc. A new and distinct variety with large white flowers; very promising.
