Orders.—Small fayors thankfully received always, but we cannot undertake to fll an or- der of lessamount than one dotlar as the cost of recording and filling the same would exceed the amount received. How to Order.—Be sure to write your name and address plainly—give Post Office. County and State—and do this every time you write us; always state distinctly the size and grade of articles ordered, as quoted in the guide; also be particular to say always how the goods are to be sent; whether by mail, ex- press or freight. When these conditions are not complied with, we use our judgment us to size and ship by the way we deem best. Keepa correct copy of the order and check off the stock when it ar- rives: pedole often furget what they order and make unjust complaint. Prices of this catalogue abrogate previous quotations and are for the Spring of 1892 only. The prices affixed are for the quantities specified, but half-dozen. fifty and five hundred of a variety will be supplied at dozen, hundred and thousand rates respectively.

Guarantee.—We warrant our stock true to name, with the express understanding that should aby not prove so, we willrefund the money paid or replace it with other stock, but are not liable for damages beyond this. A sure indication of the purity of our stock is the fact that customers of former years con- tinue to favor us with their orders. - Packing is executed with the utmost care, Special pains are taken to pack lightly, thereby reduc- ing the expense of transportation toa minimum. All goods at prices quoted in this Guide are packed free. Everything is labelled. : Ship ping.—We deliver all goods to forwarders here without charge, after which our control ceases, and consequently our responsibility also. Stock shipped west of the Mississippi River by freight has to be prepaid aod orders for stock to such points to be thus shipped must be accompanied with a remittance to cover frcight charges in addition to amount for same as per prices and terms of Guide; the surplus,if any. will in all cases. of course, be promptly returned to the party ordering. State plainly to what ‘point goo: s are to besent. We caution patrons against orderirg strawberry and herbacecus plants shipped by freight. They should always go by express or small lots by mail. Goods by Mail at rates quoted, but we wish to emphasiz that no varieties andsizes of Trees or Plants can be shipped by mail, except those so quoted. Nothing by mail at thousand rates. Claims, if any, must be made on receipt of goods, when they will be carefully and cheerfully ex- amined and, if just, all made satisfactory. Claims made after fifteen days from receipt of goods will not be entertained. Wesend out only good stock in good condition, freshly dug and earefully packed,in all cases, but suecess or failure depends in so large a degree upon the Weather ane the care and management after received, that we do not, because we carnot, undertake to guaranter stock to live. Substitution.—It is our custom, should the supply of a vari- ty be exhausted (which will eecasion- ally occur in all nurseries), to substitute in its stead a sort of the same season Of ripening, and similar in other respects, or to give the value of another grade of the variety named. When it is desired that we shall not do this, it must be so stated in the order. To simply sffix the words “No substitution” is all that is n+ Cessary. ; Canadian customers may deductien per cent. from these catalogue priceson account of Custom s Duty which We thus share with them. We have arranged with the express companies running into Canada so that all go: ds will be passed through the Custom House without delay, and the goods forwarded at the lowest obtainable rates. The Canadian postal regulations are such that they practically prohibit the trans- mission of plants by mail to Canada. Customers in the Dominion will please not send us C>nadian bills or coin as such must be used here at a discount; and Canadian postage stamps cannot be used at all. Whelesal»s Orderx.—Those who buy Nursery Stock 10 sell again, or who get up Club Orders among their neighbors, or who desire to buy largely for their own planting should send for cur Wholesale Price List. >rices quoted in this Catalogue are strictly net and have been made as low as possible upon the basis of our usual terms-—cash with order. We now offer no discounts, but the larger the order the better rate may be obtained, as for example, fifty standard apple trees would secure the rate per hundred, whilst twenty trees only must be taken at the rate per dozen. It is wise therefore for neighbors to club together and send in their orders as one. ; : be” Should you receive two copies of the Guide please hand one te a neigh- bor interested in Horticulture, 4 J.

ABUNDANCE.—This is a remarkable fruit indeed. Itis unlike any other plum. In growth it is so strong and handsome as to render it worthy of being planted as an ornamental tree—equaling in thrift and beauty, Keiffer pear which it even excels in early and profuse bearing. Itis exceedingly hardy. Its propensity for early bearing is such that it loads in the nursery row, bending the limbs with the weight of fruit until they sometimes break and this is the case every year—the curculio having no effect upon it, the eggs failing to hatch and produce the destructive grub thesame as with the Spaulding. We have seen even little one year old saplings, but two feet high, white with bloom and set heavily with large, fine plums. The fruit is large, showy and beautiful. Amber, turning to a rich bright cherry color with a decided white bloom, and highly perfumed. Flesh light yellow, exceedingly juicy and tender and of a delicious sweet- ness impossible to describe. Stone small and parts readily from the flesh. For canning itis also of the greatest exce)lence. Its season is very early, ripening in advance of other plums (early in August at Mon- mouth), adding to its special value. Noone need longer be without plums; forall who plant trees of ABUNDANCE will have an abundance of plums.—lst c., ea., 50c; doz., $5.00; 100, $25.00. June Budded, ea., 25e; doz., $2.50; 100, $15.00. SPAULDING. The Spaulding is acurculio-proof plum, ana its curculio enduring proclivity is notits only merit. Unlike most other so-called curculio-proof plums of which we haveany knowledge, it does not belong to the Chiekasaw or American species; kut has de- scended from the same species as Green Guage, Coe’s 4 Golden Drop, Lombard, etc. Itis not exempt from the attacks of the ‘‘Little Turk,’ any more than other varieties of the European Plum, but for some reason the wound is soon outgrown, the plums develop fair and perfect and no harm is done. The tree isa re- markable grower, with leathery, large, rich dark foliage. It ripens middle of August. The fruit is large, of the form shown, yellowish green with marblings of adeeper green anda delicate white bloom; flesh pale yellow, exceedingly firm, of sugary sweetness, though sprightly and of great richness, parting readily from the small stone. When can- ned, it presents not only a most attractive appear- ance but the quality is simply superb. Owing to the great demand the supply of trees is limited this spring. 1st class ea., 75c; doz., $7.50. J. B. ea., 50c; MUCH REDUCED. doz., $5.08. (43) J. T. Lovett Co.—FPlums. SARATOGA.

Centennial.—The most wonderful cherry we haveever seen. The great drawback to the culture of the cherry, espec: lally Hearts and Bigarreaus. is their perishable nature—every light colored variety in general cultivation being subject to quick decay. The Centennial, onthe contrary, is so enduring in texture that it can be kept in good condition almost indefi- nitely. On two occasions ripe specimens sent us by mail from California were not only receiyv- ed in good condition, but re- mained so for several days af- ter arrival. Ripe specimens have N been kept in an ordinary room “A for a month after gathered and were stillin eating condition. In addition to its remarkable keeping properties, the fruit is of immense size beautiful amber shaded red with very firm yet ten- der flesh; sweet, rich and luscious. It is a seedling of Napoleon Bigarreau which itresembles in appearance but is much larger and more oblate in form. Tree an extra good, straight and handsome grower No other cherry can compare with itfor canning. Its sweetness s very pronounced being exceedingly sugary. Its crispness and honied sweetness make it a desirable table fruit, but its great value is in its firmness which makes it probably the best shipping cherry yet introduced. Ripens in midseason.

The quince thrives best in a deep, strong, moist soil and requires thorough culture, vigorous pruning and a free use of fertilizers. Potash and salt are recommended as a dressing for this fruit. Its greatest enemy is the borer which must be diligently destroyed. (Small trees by mail 3c. each additional.) Cham pion.—Treeextremely hardy, of stout, rugged, upright growth,.ascend- ing in a single stem, with smooth bark— resembiing a standard pear tree more than a quince. A profuse and regu- lar bearer, and its early bearing is re- markable, commencing to produce fruit at three and four year old. Fruit large, obovate pyriformin shape and of a lively yellow color, rendering it very showy and handsome. Flesh tender and free from the hard lumps so common in other quinces. Ripens about two weeks later than the Orange, and will keep until Christmas. It is subject to blight, but when well grown where the season is sufficiently long to enable it to ripen periectly itisa mag- nificent quince, and its size and beauty causes it to sell readily at profitable prices. ist ¢., ea., 25¢; doz., $2.50; 100, $15.00.

FU LLER.— Discovered by Andrew S. Fuller and named in his honor by Dr. George Thurber who described it in the AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST as follows: ‘‘Fruit large to very large, distinctly pyriform, often with avery abrupt and small neck; the surface somewhat ridged; the skin assuming arich yellow color early in the season; calyx set in a deep, wide basin; flesh remarkably tender and well flavored. Should the tree and foliage present any marked peculiarities, they will be mentioned at another time. The quince is a most showy tree both in flower and fruit, and the Fuller will be especially valuable to plant for orna- ment on account of its exceptionally large and brilliant fruit.”’ We have purchased of Mr. Fuller the sole right to propagate this remarkable Quince, purchasing at the same time one of the three large trees of it (for which by the way, we paid one hundred dollars)and have grown a limited number of handsome nursery trees of it. The original trees are such heavy bearers that the limbs have to be supported to. prevent them from breaking with the weight of large, fair, beautiful fruit. The tree is a strong grower and has the largest, smoothest, cleanest foliage we have ever seen upon a Quince, and remain upon the tree in full vigor until the fruit is fully mature. The tree purchased from Mr. Fuller, was sent usin November 1886 and to cur delight bore the following year twenty-four perfect speciméns and has continued fruitful every year since. It is the only Quince that has proved an entire success at Monmouth and in beauty of growth and foliage, as well as beauty and excellence of fruit, it is beyond comparison with any Quince we have ever had anything to do with.

HARDY ORANGE, Citrus Trifoliata.—This has now been in our test grounds for over three years, and, we are pleas- ed to state, has proved entirely har- dy without protection, a fact we could not believe until we had provedit. The Oranges. though small in size compared with those in the markets, are exceedingly beautiful. They are, however, too acid to eat out of hand; being used as lemons to make a refreshing and pleasant drink. It fruits freely and blooms in spring with wonder- ful profusion. The blossoms are large, pure white and impart the same exquisite fragrance as other oranges. In habit the tree is dwarf, upright, and with abundant, rich, dark green, three-lobed foliage; which remains upon the tree until after frost, and then falls. So val- uable as to well merit cultivation for its beauty alone; or for its de- lightfully fragrant blossoms which are produced in greater or less numbers during almost the entire spring, summer and autumn. Its advantages as a hedge plant are its natural dense habit of growth and the abundance of its sharp thorns. It is naturally a dwarf tree and will need but little trimming to keep it within bounds.

MULBERRIES. Downing’s Mulberry.—It is surprising that this noble tree is not more generally planted than it is, when we consider its value as a shade tree for the Jawn or around the house, and the abundance of its sweet berry-like fruit. This is the finest variety of mulberry yet introduced and its rapid growth, profusion of foliage of such deep verdure ard dense shade should give it popularity. It is a charming tree, with a shapely and compact habit and form; long-lived, andits wood is very durable. The fruit is very abundant, of the shape shown in the illustration, and almost as large as blackberries. It is sweet, delicious and refreshing, and is borne from July until latein autumn. It is free from the mawkish, cloying sweetness of other mulberries and is really very good. Poultry are particularly fond of it and eat it greedily. We regard it as especially desirable for planting in grounds of only limited extent, such as the village door yard,where but one or two shade trees are grown. For this purpose it is not excelled by any other tree and no one will regret planting it. 1st cl., ea., 50c; doz., $5.00. Small, by mail postpaid, same price. CRANBERRIES.

There is no fruit more delicious or beautiful than the Apricot, andits ripening between Cherries ana Peaches renders it especially valuable. Its chief enemy is the curculio, which can be kept in check by the methods suggested for plums. It succeeds admirably trained in espalier form.

It is quite distinct from the European varieties, being hardier and the nuts are of a superior flavor and sweetness. The leaf is long and narrow like a peach leaf, of dark green color, making a very ornamental lawn tree; comes to bearing at two to three years of age, and while yet in the nursery rows, 3 to 4 feet high, they are heavily laden with nuts of enormous size, measuring 4 to 6 inches around and running 3 to? ina burr.

WEIGELA LAVALLEE. WEIGELAS CANDIDA and LAVALLEE are both of French origin and are not only the most beautiful and distinct in color of any of the numerous yvariet- ies of this favorite strong growing shrub, but unlike the old sorts which bloom but once a year (in late spring and early summer), these two bloom in the greatest profusion at the usual season and continue in flower, in a more moderate degree, during the entire summer and autumn. Owing to the strong and pleasing contrast of color of the two sorts, their beauty when planted as companions, must be seen to be appreciated. Candida is of the stronger growth of the two and has an upright habit, hence Layallee, which is more spreading, should be planted in front to secure the best effect. The flowers of LAVALLEE aredark reddish purple, those of CANDIDA pure snow white.

From time out of mind the Hydrangea has been one of the most popular and desirable of Fiowering Plants, yet of recent years its popularity has far exceeded that of any former period. We have therefore, to satisfy the numerous ¢alls for it, grown a large and superior stock of the choicest and best varieties. All are hardy from Baltimore southward but at the North should be removed to the cellar or givena slight protection in winter. Please bear in mind that these are not small, poorly rooted plants, as are too often sent out, but well established and well formed ones. Those offered by express are two and three years old and are strong, handsome specimens. RED-BRANCHED. This, like Otaksa, belongs to the Hortensia class but blooms even more freely than Otaksa and with larger trusses of flowers. The flowers are of a brighter color than that grand va- riety. The name, Red- Branched, is given it from the fact that its foliage stems are of a dark purplish color, while the flowering mes; branches are of a dark m™| crimson, shaded towards | the head to a transparent red. The best of all known varieties, retaining as it does its clear bright rose color much better than Otaksa or Hortensia. The most reliable of all the Hy- drangeas of the Hortensia class and claimed by good authority to be the most valuable of all Hydrangeas thus far introduced. From 214 in. pots, 25c.

The finest and best of the old varieties, being a decided im- provement upon the old rose-colored Hortensia. Itis a robust grower and bears a profusion of very large, well formed trusses of rose-colored flowers, even when small. The foliageis large, deep green, distinct in form, glossy and attractive. It is one of the hardiest of its class and excellent for forcing or pot culture. From 2% in. pots, 20c. (by mail); 4 in. pots, 25c; 5in. pots, 40c; 6 in. pots, 50c. SAPPHIRE HYDRANGEA, In this new variety we have what has so long been sought for, viz., a true blue Hydrangea. The plant is a strong but stocky grower, throwing out numerous trusses of bloom, formed of several rows of flowers with petals of a porcelain blue color and with a large almost flat centre composed of a multitude of small flowers without petals, of the deepest azure. It is not only an abundant bloomer but begins blooming when very young, and continues in flower at all seasons. The foliage is of medium size, accuminate, deep green and glossy, contrasting prettily with its bloom. The foliage remains vigorous, clean and attractive at all times—the only Hydrangea of its class that retains perfectly healthy foliage when planted out of doors. It is indeed a great acquisition to the list of varieties of this grand old and deservedly popular class of plants, ana gives the ntmost satisfaction and keenest delight to all flower lovers.
