PREFACE.

Among the characteristics of our Nurseries are the follow- ing: As To Sorm.—The trees are grown in strong loam, tho-

roughly drained by nature, newly employed in this culture, and therefore free from injurious insects and excreta.

Location.—We are on the elevated plateau which divides the sources of the Juniata and Susquehanna, and about half way between their channels of freight and travel. The Nurse- ries are on ground exposed to the winds of all quarters, where - overluxuriant extensions of growth are checked, and firm- 3 ness is naturally imparted. We grow only hardy plants; and they will transplant advantageously from our rigorous exposures and brief season of growth to less elevated and warmer districts.

CutturE. —No surfeiting or unseasonable stimulus is used. All standard sorts are propagated directly from bearing trees ; each kind in its own distinct row. Every tree is indelibly marked while standing in the rows, and the utmost care is applied throughout to maintain accuracy to name.

CoLLeEctions.—The interest taken ip our Institution brings to us, from all quarters, contribytions of new an@ rare fruits, shrubs, vines, trees and herbaceous plants. The pomological collection from which scions for the orchards and nurseries have been supplied is one of the largest in the country, and we are thus enabled to furnish the best productions devel- oped by our fast improving horticulture.

EXTENT.—No greater area is cultivated than can be super- intended and worked thoroughly and exactly.

+

Oxnsect.—One of the objects of this Institution is that of disseminating well tried and valuable subjects of Farm and Garden culture, as well as of training native gardeners, and determining true processes. Seeds, plants or cuttings of new, dislinct and superior articles will be gladly received, and duly acknowledged.

PRINCIPLES.

Trees cannot continue to flourish satisfactorily unless pro- tective care is continued to them after leaving the Nursery. Nothing more than protection is required.

They essentially require

1. Protection against atmospheric injuries.

If trees are allowed to extend slender branches to a great length, high winds will bruise the leaves and break the texture, thus checking circulation. And if trees are trimmed up so as to expose tall bare stems to the sun and wind, the roots and soil must be in the very best condition, or moisture will not be supplied to the elevated head as fast asitevaporates. Hence the reason why large trees and especially fall trees, newly transplanted, are so liable to die off in the burning weather of July and August.

2. Protection against pruning knives and saws.

The system of training applied in the Farm School Or- chards is to retain two opposite branches at two or three feet from the surface: two more at right angles to these, about two feet higher, and so on alternately ; for example, if one pair of branches extends north and south, the next pair should extend east and west. Every year, in March, the

5

redundant annual shoots are cut out (most of them ‘having been better suppressed by the thumb and finger in the June preceding). Thus the permanent frame of the tree is con- structed. There is no occasion left for making future large wounds, which are inevitably followed by decay—the shaded bark remains soft, yielding and entire—sap is supplied freely, there being no dry or dead wood to obstruct its course from the roots—the shoots, leaves, and fruit are large and well de- veloped, being near the supplying roots—the tree attains a full head much earlier, and preserves its vigor far longer—it suffers less by winds, frosts and droughts,—it carries its fruit _ more firmly—is more accessible—and last, but not least, the _ plow is kept ata distance from the vital parts—the main roots and the main trunk.

8. Protection against mouths of cattle and human fingers.

Vast numbers of trees are destroyed by well meant but ill-judged trimming, during the first summer after planting. _ The leaves are vital organs: without them there can be no circulation, no digestion, no formation of wood, no action of roots. The entire trunk should be shaded by them. If they are removed during the season of active growth, stagnation and decay will result. Of course remaining leaves must all be re- _ moved from deciduous trees when taken up for planting, or the tree will rapidly shrivel. In removing evergreens, the roots _ must retain a covering of soil; their action must not be inter- rupted, because that of the leaves continues.

4. Protection of the Roots from wounds, &c.

The soil should be thoroughly loosened, so as to enable | the roots to penetrate readily in every direction to the widest extent. The newly formed roots of a tree are quite as tender as those of a weed, and much less active in appropriating nutriment. The roots of no other tree or plant should reach

6

the bed of a transplanted tree, especially in July and August, when evaporation is excessive, and circulation and growth should have no check ‘Too often the young tree struggles for life among weeds, until, finally, the thoughtless owner comes along, with team and whip and sharp share, and cuts off at one sweep all the silent viewless combatants. And when he finds his tree fading, he blames any thing but himself. Plow Orchards only when out of leaf.

5. Protection from Frost.

‘Exposed roots of trees are entirely destroyed by afew de- grees of frost if thawed hastily in the air. But if carefully buried without bending and consequent breaking of the frozen roots, the frost may be gradully extracted without injury to the structure. The destroyed roots become discolored like a bruised apple. Sometimes only the ends of the roots are in- jured ; and as roots cannot issue from the dead dry wood, it is necessary at planting to cut back to clear healthy wood, even if nearly the whole root must be cut away.

6. Protection from free air.

As animals cannot live without water, yet die if immersed in it; so the roots of plants can neither endure a bath of air, nor live without access to it. Plants will not grow well in glazed or painted pots,—in porous pots, their roots seeking air, cover the inside of the pot. In the earth, the best roots, in like manner, coat the surface between the superficial mulch of humus and the mineral soil. The roots of Evergreens should be closely packed immediately on being lifted with soil adhering to them; those of Peach and Cherry trees, Raspberries and almost all plants that will not grow from cuttings, should be plunged in mud thick enough to coat every part of all the roots, and should be buried in fine mould or packed tightly before this coating dries so as to crack off.

7

7. Protection against Poisons.

Rank, raw manure is poisonous to trees, and espe- cially if placed in contact with the roots; no sod or other raw vegetable matter,—nothing but fine mould should be applied to the roots, and this very compactly. Wherever cavities are left among the roots, they become mouldy and decay inevitably follows.

8. The nearer a shoot issues to the roots, the more sap will it probably receive, and the better will it shade and pro- tect itself. All side branches should be pruned into one bud, excepting those left to form the permanent frame of the head ; and, if the roots are weak, these also should be cut back to one or two buds. The shoots from these buds will grow vigorously, whereas if a large surface were left exposed, the roots might not be able to support the evaporation. It has been demonstrated that two hundred and fifty pounds are evaporated, for every single pound of solid matter carried up and deposited in the plant.

9. Protection against Water.

We have all seen the hardiest upland trees perish, where the roots are continually immersed, as in dams. If they are planted in cold, wet soil, the effect is early death. The structure is disrupted as effectually and as fatally by water- soaking as by frost.

10. Protection against Drought.

Probably one-half of all transplanted trees die outright or finally, from drying wp in the hot months after planting. If trees are shrivelled when received, they can be recovered by burying wholly in fine friable mould for eight or ten days. After long-stemmed trees have been planted, it is always ex-

pedient to shade the stem with loose, long straw, and to -mulch over the roots with straw, leaves, tan, chip-mould or

8

other litter, laid on the surface to a depth of three or four inches, and extended four to eight feet in diameter. For this insures constant moisture as well as an open soil and surface, and precludes danger to the roots from spade or hoe or weeds. Ordinarily the cares and labors of harvest stop the hoe, and if the weeds are not choked down by mulch, they eventually occupy all that was prepared for the tree, which is lost through want of quite finishing what was almost done.

11. Protection against Insects.

Wash the stems of young trees with soap or solutions of potash or soda, weak lye, or a mixture of soap, sulphur, tobacco and potash, or any of them. Gas tar and fish-oil soap are effective as applications or ingredients, but must be used prudently. Ifclay or lime be added to form a coating, | the effect is more lasting. Use it in June and August to destroy borers which hatch at those seasons. Earth up round peach trees in the spring to fence the borer from the roots, or apply a small mound of fresh lime in July. Pine brush is a good mulch for peach trees, and tan for berries.

12. To the above may be added Protection against Thieves.—Much can be done by patiently setting a good example, by aiding to establish moral training in all schools, and conscientiousness every where ; and specially by forming village societies, with the object and duty of extending and encouraging the culture and protection of fruit, so that all may have to spare rather than to lack. If it is true that there is no more vexatious loss than the robbery of a tree of favorite fruit, grown with care and cost, and just matured to beauty and flavor, it is equally true that one of the most powerful and demoralizing temptations that lie in the way of youth, is that of having no access to an innocent object of passionate desire, but through mean and criminal resorts.

DIRECTIONS FOR TRANSPLANTING.

[The figures refer to the foregoing paragraphs. ]

Immediately on receiving trees, and before opening the bundles or boxes, a trench should be prepared in light, mellow clean soil (6, 7) in which to bury the roots; and a pool of mud, say two feet across and one foot deep, into which to plunge them as fast as opened.(6) If it be early in Autumn —last of October or first of November—hardy trees may be planted at once, and the earth should be heaped into a cone over the roots so as to keep them dry for the Win- ter.(5, 9) Tender trees, as peach, plum, apricot, should be laid in the earth in dry, mellow soil,(6, 7, 9,) the roots well banked up,(5, 9,) the tops lying near the surface; and shel- tered, after the ground freezes, with pine, cedar, or oak branches, or other screens to check evaporation.(10) If applied sooner, mice may feel invited to lodge among the trees. If the soil is dry and can be kept so, the trees may be covered entirely with it. A dry cellar affords a convenient shelter. On planting in the Spring it is well to puddle or mortar the roots in, to settle them compactly.(7) merely covering the roots(9) and filling the hole up after the soil begins to dry. Plant shallow;(6) stake well, or, if the tree is tall, the wind will use it as a lever to break off the tender emissions of roots(4) which cannot be restored, un- less there is a stock of material remaining in the tree, out of which they can be formed again.

_ After planting, loosen up the soil well round the extremi- ties of the roots, and at least two feet beyond them.(4) And when it becomes dry—not before—(9) apply a liberal mulch.(10) Prune closely before the leaves issue, but never remove @ leaf.(3) Avoid frequent waterings, and do not permit a glazed air-tight surface.(9,6) Let no

10

weeds grow within reach of the ends of the roots.(4) Trees are quite as susceptible of the benefits of culture as is cabbage, corn, or tobacco.

Soil,

Soil dry enough and strong enough to grow wheat is all that can be desired for trees. If young thrifty trees be fairly set out, and protected as above shown, from the inju- ries too often inflicted, they will grow without stimulus, and the orchard will be more valuable and incomparably hand- somer in five years, than ordinarily in twenty.

Manure.

Vegetable mould and wood ashes are the best applications — to promote healthful growth, and they should be applied on the surface.(6) Use the best loam to fill round the roc and beyond their extremities, when planting. (7) |

ORDERS FOR TREES AND PLANTS.

The season of planting is, for deciduous trees, from October 15th to April 10th, during mild weather, and the earlier the better, after the leaves have ceased their functions, and can be removed easily.(3) For evergreens— March Ist to May Ist. For herbaceous plants, as strawberries and flowering peren- nials, any time after blossoming, to September Ist, or in April. Karly leafing plants, as gooseberry, rhubarb, and early shrubs and flowers, should be planted as soon as the leaves fade in Autumn, or very early in the Spring. Zate autumn planting leaves the ground open to water and frost.(9, 5)

11

When certain varieties or forms of trees are particularly desired, the order should be forwarded early in autumn while the whole growth of the season is in the nursery.

Where particular sorts are named, and no other direction is given, it will be understood that those are specially wanted, and plants will be sent of such size as may remain on hand.

It will be found best to correspond directly with the nur- sery from which the trees are to be sent, rather than with irresponsible and unknown travelling salesmen. Full lists of all varieties here, will be furnished to amateurs on applica-

CATALOCUE.

Norr.—Varieties distinguished by CAPITALS are those which are in every way reliable and excellent in all soils (2) These we grow very largely; those in bold face type extend the selection and are scarcely inferior.

Popular sorts, possessing certain special fine qualities are printed in common type; of some of these only a few are grown.

Specimen trees or scions can be furnished of nearly all pub- lished and approved varieties, including very many not ineladey if

in the Catalogue. We put many different varieties in our asso rt |

ments to meet the variety of tastes that are found in every 1 family and company.

PEARS.

Pear trees will not endure arbitrary and forceful culture, although naturally the longest-lived of domestic fruit trees. They especially require to be let alone in the manner indi- cated in 1, 2, 8, 10 of “ Protection.” They should be lifted early before vegetation commences (order early). Those marked d succeed well as dwarf-trees on quince, but the soil must be mellow, and spaded around the extremities of the roots early every spring. In planting dwarfs, the junction of the pear and quince should be three or four inches beneath the surface, and the trees should be of but one year or not over two year’s growth from the bud. Trees marked A bear early, if trained as low pyramids on seedling pear stocks, and yield almost never-failing crops of the most delicious of fruits. Pears can be taken in before they color, and thus kept safely, and ripened more perfectly.

PRICE.

One year from the bud (2 feet), 30 cents each. Per dozen, $3 00.

Two years “ “(2 to 4 feet, branched), 40 cents each. 2 Me . 4 - per dozen, $4 50.

Larger trees (transplanted), each, 50 cents.

PLUMS.— August to October.

This fruit varies remarkably in color, flavor, form, size, season, and in habits of growth. The large luscious varieties are liable to rot in low, confined places, or if crowded. All are liable to the curculio, which must be looked for early in May. The fruit will well compensate for the trouble. Our stock is entirely free from black knot.

PEACHES.

August.——October.

Only the hardiest of the budded varieties can be grown here to any advantage, and these only on elevated dry ground, or in the near vicinity of unfreezing streams. Yet trees which are allowed to renew themselves by sprouting from the root, live to a great age. The bark of the peach tree is of open texture, allowing free evaporation(1). The roots are also very tender, (5, 6, 9), and trees planted in autumn are liable to perish. If removed at that season they should be kept through severe weather in a dry cellar, or buried in dry soil. (5, 6.) The peach-worm must be guarded against and ex- pelled, (11) while the tree is young. The curled leaf is the chief bane of the peach tree: it destroys the first and most

—

23

important leaves, (3) and retards the period of active growth until September and October. The tree is yet full of liquid sap, when severe frosts occur, and the entire structure is injured. This evil aggravates itself from yearto year. The tree can be preserved only by allowing a new stem to spring from the root, and sheltering during winter by low training and screens of cedar, pine oroak. Plants kept in a dry cool cellar do not exhibit curled leaf in the spring.

The protections described in 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, are vi- tally essential. The tree should stand in an orchard conve- nient for culture of the entire surface, and should branch low. Shoots, which can be bent down to the surface, can be pro- tected so as to secure fruitfulness.

CRAPES.

This fruit has of late attracted the general attention of amateurs, and is being rapidly improved. Choose plants of not over two years, with numerous and firm roots. Set them in full sunshine—the leaves will not endure shade, (3.) Let the entire bed that will be occupied by the rambling roots be mellow and rich. Growth often issues preferably from buds covered in planting, and the surface must be open to allow their ascent. The opening buds are very tender, and should be guarded from the touch of passing fowls, dogs, Kc.

H@RBACEOUS PERENNIALS.

These are “a vivid vigorous breed,” the first loves of all florists, especially desirable to all who wish their homes to smile with flowers, but who have little experience in their culture, or little time to devote to it. Once planted they endure for years, excepting the few marked as “tender,” and the simplest care suffices them.

To aid in selecting and arranging, we have classified them in regard to height, color and season. ‘The letters denote the prevailing colors.

A few (marked 0}.), are biennials, usually continuing three years or longer, if not allowed to seed. See descriptions in Breck’s Book of Flowers, or other mauuals ; 10 to 25 cts. each. LOW PLANTS—(6 inches,) suitable for fronts of borders.
