PCa REMARKS. 1388. oe —_—_ The arrival of the new year again reminds us that the tree-planting season will soon be here, and affords us an opportunity to thank our numerous patrons and friends for their liberal patronage in the past, and for the many unsolicited testimonials which we have been favored with. While doing this we ask your attention to this our new Catalogue for 1888, believing eae it contains many items of especial interest to those wishing to purchase horticultural products. CATALOGUE.—In making our Catalogues it is our aim to avoid giving descriptions or using illustrations so extravagantly worded or so overdrawn in size as to deceive rather than to enlighten our patrons, considering well the fact that a Nurseryman’s Catalogue should be rational in its tone, educational in its matter and as clearly descriptive of the things offered as the limited space will allow. In this Catalogue we have endeavored to give a list of the most popular older varieties which have been found best adapted to this latitude, together with such new acquisitions as give promise of real merit. To all these we have tried to give some of their characteristic qualities, and an idea of their nature and habits. In the case of some of the newer varieties, which we have not yet tested thoroughly, we have inserted the descriptions given by the introducer. We do not recommend everything in this Catalogue as being the very best or most desir- ° able for everybody. Some are best adapted to certain localities, others are singular or gro- tesque specimens of vegetable growth, which would be admired by many and wanted by only afew. Of many species the distinction between varieties is so slight that none but experts or amateurs will appreciate them, but it is our business to cater for all tastes, and, therefore, necessary to enumerate many things which are only valuable because rare or odd. STOCK.—We strive for superiority of quality and genuineness of variety in all our productions, knowing that with the majority of tree-planters life is too short to be wasted in nursing trees or plants of a sickly, delicate growth, or to be deceived with poor, worthless varieties, when for little if any additional cost strong, healthy and reliable ones can be ob- tained. Therefore, if our prices on any article may appear higher than some of our com- petitors, be assured that they are only enough higher to compensate for the superiority in quality and genuineness of variety that we expect to give every purchaser. TERMS.—Net cash. Orders from unknown parties must be accompanied by a Draft on New York or Philadelphia, Registered Letter, Postal Note or Money Order on Trenton, N. J., or reference that will be satisfactory. ‘ORDERS.—Please write orders on separate sheet, apart from the body of the letter, and be very particular to give name and address distinctly, and thus aid us to facilitate execution and prevent errors. PACKING.—No charge is made for packing nor for delivery to freight depots or express offices in Trenton, N. J. SHIPPING.—Plain and explicit shipping directions should be given with every order. naming mode and route. For forwarding otherwise we will use our own judgment, but upon delivery to railroad, steamboat and express companies our responsibility ceases and they alone must beheld accountable for loss or delay. ERRORS.—In the press of business errors sometimes may occur, of which we desire to be informed at once, that we may make poner amends, as we wish to render full satisfaction to all favoring us with their custom. WILLIAM H. MOON, Glenwood Nurseries, Morrisville, Pa. SUGGESTIONS TO PLANTERS. So great is the annual loss of trees, owing to their roots being exposed to the air unnecessarily, that we urge the necessity of keeping the roots protected as much as possible while they are out of the ground. The exposing of the roots of some kinds of trees toa severe drying wind or a hot sun for an hour is sure death to them. Particularly is this the case with evergreens, as their sap is of a resinous nature, which, when it becomes dried, can- not be restored to its normal condition, either by soaking in water or by any other means. Trees will flourish in almost any good farm soil. The kind of land for trees is of less importance than its proper preparation. It should be well drained, either naturally or artifically ; well manured and thoroughly worked before planting. If you would have best results, prepare the ground carefully. If you are not ready to plant trees immediately upon their arrival, they should be unpacked at once and heeled in. That is, place them in an upright position, or aearly so, and cover the roots thoroughly with well-pulverized soil; press this securely around chem and they can remain here for a long time without injury. Do not unpack trees while it is freezing. If they are received in a frozen con- dition, or in freezing weather, keep them in a cool situation, but free from frost, until they are perfectly thawed. The puddling of the roots of all trees and plants in a thin mud before planting, is a most excellent practice which ought to be more generally adopted. All fruit and shade trees should be trimmed when they are planted. Cut back the previous year’s growth one-half its length at least, and, frequently, it is best to re- move even more than this in standard trees, aiming to form rounded or low pyramidal heads. Trim dwarf trees into pyramids, with the lowest branches not more than two or three feet from the ground; prune all bruised or broken roots. In planting trees, always dig a hole large enough to receive the roots without twisting or crowding. After placing the tree in the hole, about as deep as it had stood in the nursery, fill in around it with good soil, being careful to keep the roots in their natural position, and press the ground firmly about them. After filling the hole, it is of great advantage to cover the ground for two or three feet around the tree with a mulching or covering of litter or long manure; this will keep the roots from drying out in Summer, and will prevent the ground from freezing and thawing. Upon the approach of Winter, remove the mulching some dis- tance from the stem of the trees to prevent its harboring ground-mice to girdle them. Remove all the label wires from the trees, that they may not cut or destroy the branches. Preserve a record of the names and order of the varieties in a book. It will bea benefit and satisfaction in future. The ground in young orchards should be kept cultivated, and the most practical mode of doing this is to raise potatoes, cabbage, strawberries, raspberries, or some other hoed crop, that the trees may be well worked until they come into bearing. If corn is raised, do not plant within five or six feet of the trees. A coat of manure, bone dust or wood WM. H. MOON’S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE. 3 ashes should be applied every two years. In applying fertilizers, do not simply pile them around the stem of the tree, but spread them around as far from the trunk as the limbs extend. It is a good practice to allow sheep or swine to frequent orchards up to the time of ripening, that they may destroy the insects in the fruit which cause it to drop pre- maturely.

An occa- sional top-dressing of wood ashes, kanite or slaked lime about the roots will be of advantage. The tree should braneh low, not having more than three or four feet of trunk. When a tree is too thick to let in air and light freely, it should be thinned out; and, also, when a le+ding shoot is pushing up too far, it should be cut back. Trees should grow broad rather than high. to suffer iess from wind and to facilitate gathering fruit. Size, 4to 6 feet. Price, 20 cents each ; $1.50 per duzen ; $3.00 per 100.

QUINCES. Quinces require a deep, rich soil, and should be manured with thoroughly-rotted manure or wood-pile earth. A little coarse salt or lime sprinkled around the trees, occasionally, is beneficial in keeping away insects. On account of roots being very near the surface, the ground should be kept well worked and free from grass or sod. Make frequent and thorough search for borers. Do not prune much, but carefully remove the old and decayed wood. ‘The raising of Quinces for market is found in many sections to be very profitable.

As hardy as the Snyder, as vigorous as Kittatinny, very productive, free from rust or double blossoms, good quality, round in form, fruit as large as the Law- ton, and ripens between Early Harvest and Wilson, Jr. We have seen the Erie fruiting the past two seasons, and were so much pleased with its fine appearance, that we have become largely interested in its growth and introduction. The berry being round in shape, gives it a characteristic and very attractive appear- ance. The quality I consider good. The plants in bearing give every indication of immense productive- ness. The habit of growth and foliage strongly favor the claim that it is perfectly hardy, and not liable to attacks of rust and disease. $10.00 per 100.

ASPARAGUS. Asparagus prefers a rich, light or sandy soil.- The ground should be well manured. and dug or plowed very deep. Strike out furrows three feet apart. Set the plants in the bottom of the furrows, about ten or twelve inches apart, and cover the crowns about three inches deep. They may be planted in Autumn, or early in the Spring. From 200 to 500 plants will be sufficient to supply a moderate-sized family. The ground should be kept clean and well worked, and as the plants increase in size, the furrows should be gradually filied in until the crowns are covered from six to nine inches beneath the surface by the end of the second season. The bed should be cleared off and covered with manure in the Autumn, and dug or plowed across the rows very early in the Spring, exercising care that the crowns shall not beinjured. A light sprinkling of salt or brine in the Spring is beneficial. If properly planted and cared for, an Asparagus bed will continue to yield fur twenty-five years or longer, if on congenial soil.

Norte.—We shall be pleased to supply our customers with any of the many new varieties of Strawberries now being offered to the public, at regular quoted rates. But as we can find so little real merit in them, as regards quality (the most desirable attribute to please the educated taste of our patrons), we do not catalogue them, failing to see in them any improvement over many of the older ones, with whose peculiarities we are better acquainted. Grapes will flourish and bear abundantly on almost any good, dry soil, especially if the vines are trained against a building. We would emphatically urge all farmers, and others who have barns or buildings, to plant grape vines about them. Many varieties will do well when thus supported and protected, where they are worthless grown on arbors. Nor is it necessary for persons to conclude, because some of the more tender varieties will not grow with them, that they cannot have grapes, because there are kinds adapted to almost every locality, that may be grown on a yery cheap and simple arbor, or even on single poles or stakes. Price, 2-year vines, very fine (unless otherwise quoted), 25 cents each ; $2.50 per dozen. Price, 3-year vines, extra selected, 50 cents each ; $5.0U per dozen. = ¥ AGAWAM (Rogers’ No. 15)—Large; dark red; sweet, sprightly, pleasant aromatic flavor; vigorous and generally productive. ~ BRIGHTON—In color, form of bunch and berry, it resem- bles the Catawba. combining the sprightliness of that _ variety with the richness and sweetness of the Dela- ware; vine vigorous, hardy and productive.

It represents almost every desirable color, admirably blended and shaded in the most pleasing manner. It. is very hardy, easily grown, requires but little care, and is rapidly increasing in public favor. It thrives in almost any good soil, except stiff clay; but requires full sunlight, and is very susceptible to injury from rank manure. Plant the bulbs six to nine inches apart; the large ones four inches, and the small ones two inches deep. Make an early plant- ing of the smallest bulbs first, as soon as the ground is sufficiently dry and warm, and continue to plant at intervals of two weeks during the Spring and earlySummer. In this way a succession of bloom may be had from Midsummer until frost. In Autumn, before freezing. they should be dug and dried, the earth and old roots removed, and then stored in a cool, dry place, secure from frost, until Spring. Our collections are selected as the cream from many hundreds; we think them unsurpassed by anything ever offered at these prices, and the bulbs are all of a size to give a fine spike of bloom next Summer. BY MAIL.—They may be safely sent to any part of the country, by mail, at an additional cost of ten cents per dozen.
