Dear Patron AND FRIEND:
If you are interested in your own welfare, please read this catalogue carefully In mailing you our new catalogue, we thank you for past favors and hope to receive your further patronage. We are now prepared toserve you in the best possible manner, haying a large assortment of all kinds of Trees, Plants and Vines, and _ ship- ping facilities excelled by none. Our packing grounds are near to all the railroad lines running out of Rochester, and as soon as orders are packed they are forthwith brought to the cars, and delay or exposure in transporting from our grounds to the railroad is avoided.
If you are not already on our list of patrons, now is the time to make your selec- tions and send us atrial order. We-want to convince you that the Alliance Nursery Company will give you more goods for your money than any other firm in existence.
If this does not suit you, send us a list of your wants and let us give you special prices. Then if you do not think we are making you a grand offer, you need not buy. We are bound to please you. Give us a trial.
Beautiful Homes.—Nothing makes a home more attractive than a lawn tastefully arranged with shrubs and flowers, or a garden with its trees and bushes loaded with luscious fruit ready for the table.
The Rose, Queen of Flowers.—You, no doubt, are in need of some trees, plants, or vines, fruit or ornamental, to replace some which have succumbed to the elements, or by accident have died, and should be replaced by new and vigorous young stock. No land owner should be without an ample supply of small fruits and flowers, when they may be had in all their luxuriousness, fragrance and beauty at so little cost.
Choice Fruit Always Sells —Of all tradesmen, the farmer has been hampered on all sides in his endeavors to stem the tide of financial depression. It is a self-evident fact, that while the tendency of the grain and wool markets of this country have been down- ward, the people who have had choice fruit to offer have, in nearly all sections of the country, received a good price for it, and as the population is steadily increasing, the consumption will be greater, and the farmers of this country should be able to supply the demand. The market can hardly be overcrowded with choice fruit. It isthe poor fruit and slovenly packing that demoralize a market; but if each farmer sees that his fruit is well assorted and nicely packed, he will be sure of a fancy price for it.
Losses and Commissions Paid by Farmers.—The farmer who gives an agent his order, has to pay for his trees far in excess of what the trees should cost him if he would look around and consult his best interests. For instance: the agent gets for his pay 30% of the gross sales; then the nurseryman pays 10% for delivery and collection; and for poor sales and “ bogus” orders which unscrupulous agents are wont to send in, the nurseryman is again compelled to add at least 5% to the price of his stock before he receives a single cent for his time, trouble or investment. Who has to pay for all these losses, collections and commissions? The farmer who buysthe trees. Why not, then, buy direct from a responsible nurseryman, and get your trees, plants and vines at nearly half the price charged by the “agents?”
From Grower to Planter.—We sell direct to the planter, thus, to him it means from 40% to 50% less in the cost than when bought of an agent; and to us, as we sell for cash only, we have no doubtful accounts, our losses are nothing, we sell at a very close margin.
Square Dealing.—We give our customers the choicest stock and retain each one as a friend, for he feels the protection against fraud when hesends his order and money to us.
{2s Norre.—If you know of some neighbor or friend interested in fruit growing, please send us his name, and we will mail our catalogue to his address.

Hale, the best authority on peaches in the United States, planted 60,000 Elberta. Why? Because he well knew its value. Last season there was not one-tenth enough trees to supply the demand. Why? Because others had discovered its value, too. This most excellent variety will be called for by the thousand. Orders should be booked early, while our stock is large.

16 ALLIANCE NURSERY CO., ROCHESTER, N. Y.
Parker Earle—One of the best either for home use or market. It forms a stocky plant; clean, bright foliage, withstanding hot suns. Berries large, long, regular and uniform, crimson, moderately firm and good. It succeeds on all soils and yields enormously. Itis remarkable for its ability to withstand heat and drought and to flourish and bear well on light, dry soil. For vigor of plant, tough, healthy foliage, and yield of fruit, it is unsurpassed by any other. Midseason to late.
The Sharpless—tThis is one of the very best new varieties. Large in size, deli- cious flavor ; good bearer; bright color. Specimens exhibited weighed 14 ounces, and measured seven inchesin circumference. Has been thoroughly tested, and is grown and recommended by our largest nursery growers in the country.
Van Deman—tThis new extra early and good strawberry is one of the best. Very early in fruiting ; berries large; very productive. The quality is rich, and its earli- ness and productiveness will make it one of the leading varieties to plant for for market. Price, 50 cents per dozen ; $2.50 per 100.
Wilson’s Albany—Large, conical, dark red, firm, hardy; prolific, rather acid. Suc ceeds everywhere. Early.
PISTILLATE, OR IMPERFECT FLOWERING PLANTS.
Notre. When these varieties are purchased, plants of some of the other varieties named should also be purchased and planted near them as fertilizers, otherwise it is probable they will prove unproductive.
Bubach—strong, rampant grower, like the Crescent, only making plants and foliage of twice the size; healthy and free from rust; very productive of large, bright, scarlet berries, rather soft, and of fair quality ; ripens early and succeeds either on light or heavy soil; a valuable market variety.
Crescent Seedling—Medium, conical, bright scarlet, very uniform in size. A beautiful berry, commencing to ripen with Wilson’s Albany, and continuing in fruit longer. The plants are wonderful in growth, taking entire possession of the ground to the exclusion of weeds and grass. It appears alike at home in all soils. Season early to late.
Greenville (P)—This has proved itself to be an excellent new variety, a showy market berry and very desirable for home use. It is an improvement upon Bu- bach’s No. 5, about equal to it in size and productiveness, but of stronger growth and much firmer in flesh. The berries are large, bright crimson in color and of good quality. It makes a fine appearance and will surely become a popular berry, having already made hosts of friends and being well endorsed by leading growers. Midseason. We cannot say too much for this berry, as it is one of the very best, and it will, when known, be planted extensively, as fruit growers, for commercial purposes, have found that they cannot grow anything that will give them more satisfaction. Tho plant and foliage are entirely hardy with us, and Greenville will be one of the berries tor the masses. Our stock of this variety islarge,and we have made rates very low. Price, 50 cents per dozen; $1.50 per 100; $10.00 per 1,000.

Timbrell (P)—Originated in Orange County, N. J.,in 1889, named by Mr. E. S. Fowler, associate editor of the Rural New Yorker. It undoubtedly marks a great advance in the history of the Strawberry, and possesses the most good points of any berry ever offered. The vine is a thrifty grower, with rank, dark foliage, after the nature of Parker Earle, and the berry is large, symmetrical, dark crimson color, which runs through the flesh. In quality it surpasses anything that was ever placed on the market. It is a good yielder of large, handsome berries, so firm they will stand long shipments in good condition. Ripens late and surpasses all others in quality, size, productiveness and market qualities. No grower of Strawberries can afford to let this season go by without testing the Timbrell. Price, 60 cents per dozen ; $3.00 per 100.
Warfield—Originated in Illinois. Vigorous grower, productive ; ripens early ; me- dium size. Season early.

RED AND YELLOW RASPBERRIES.
One of the choicest of the small fruits coming into use as the Strawberry season comes to an end. Nothing can be more refreshing than a dish of Raspberries. Should be planted four by six feet apart in a deep soil, one that will retain moisture wellin a drouth. In training, allow only a few canes to grow from each plant, cutting away all suckers to throw the strength into the stock for bearing. All old canes should be re- moved when the bearing season is over. Tender yarieties should be protected during the winter in the Northern States.
Plant 4 by 6 feet in rows, 1,800 plants to an acre.
Strong plants, 35 cents per dozen; $1.00 per hundred; unless otherwise noted.

The vine comes quickly into bearing, yielding fruit usually the second year after planting, requires but little space, and when properly trained isan ornament to the yard, garden or vineyard.
It is stated by some of the most eminent physiologists, that among all the fruits conducive to regularity, health and vigorin the human system, the grape ranks number one. We hope soon to see the day when every family shall have an abundant supply of this most excellent fruit, for at least six months in the year.
The soil for the Grape should be dry ; when not naturally so should be thoroughly drained. It should be deeply worked and well manured, always bearing in mind that it is an essential point to secure a warm, sunny exposure.
If planted for fastening to a trellis or arbor, should be eight feet apart; if tied to stakes, six feet apart. The holes should be dug not less than four feet wide and two feet deep. Burying bones under the roots makes the vine much more prolific, and the fruit of better quality. The bones should be put in the bottom of the hole and covered with fine soil; then pour on a little water to settle the dirt among the bones; then fill up with mellow soil to within five or six inches of the top; cut off the bruised and broken roots, straighten the roots to their natural position and cover them with fine mellow soil about two inches, packing it carefully with the hand, then sprinkle on suf- ficient water to moisten the roots, fill up the hole and press down the dirt. A stake should be placed with each vine, at the time of setting, six to seven feet high. The first year train one shoot only up the stake, pinching off all the others, and also all the lateral or side shoots that appear during the first season; cut the vine down to within three or four buds of the ground. The following season train up two shoots in the same manner.
If set 6 feet apart, 1,210 vines to an acre. If set 8 feet apart, 680 vines to an acre.. Ifset 10 feet apart, 435 vines to an acre.

Ornamental [Pepartment, DECIDUOUS TREES.
The people in this country have scarcely begun to realize the commercial value of an investment of afew dollars judiciously in- vested in a few Ornamental Trees and Plants to our homes. Many of our most active business men are also men of taste, and would be glad to improve and beautify their grounds, but they are so occupied with business that they have neither the time nor disposition to find out what they want, or to Jay out their grounds. Some compe- tent man can generally be found to aid in the matter.
Wind-breaks of trees, more especially if they are evergreen, make the dwelling- house warmer, give comfort to its inmates, diminishing to no inconsiderable extent the consumption of- fuel; they make the out- buildings warmer for stock by night, and the yard by day, not only making the dumb animals comfortable, but thereby saving a large amount of food.

32 ALLIANCE NURSERY CO., ROCHESTER, N. Y.
General Jacqueminot—Brilliant crimson scarlet; very showy and effective.
Giant of Battles—Very deep, brilliant crimson center; dwarf habit, free bloomer and one of the very best.
John Hopper—Rose, with rosy crimson center ; splendid form. Jules Margottin—Light, brilliant crimson; large, full and beautiful.
Louis Van Houtte—Beautiful maroon; medium size; full, of fine shape, deli- ciously perfumed.
La Reine—Bright rosy pink; very large, double and sweet; one of the best.
Mabel Morrison—A sport from Baroness Rothschild. Flesh white, changing to pure white; in the autumn tinged with rose; double, cup-shaped flowers, freely produced. In all save substance of petal and color, this variety is identical with Baroness Rothschild. Though not so full in flower as we would like it, it is the best white Hybrid Perpetual raised.
Marshal P. Wilder—Cherry carmine; continues in bloom long after other varie- ties are out of flower; the finest H. P. rose yet produced.
Paul Neyron—Deep rose color, good foliage; by far the largest variety in cultivation.
Pius the Ninth—Bright purplish red, changing to violet; very large and full ; robust and profuse bloomer ; one of the best.
Prince Camille de Rohan—Deep velvety crimson; large, moderately full. A splendid rose.
Victor Verdier—Clear rose, globular, fine form and free bloomer. Superb.
HYBRID TEA ROSES.
These are produced by crossing Tea Roses and Hybrid Perpetuals. La France is of this class, and is probably more highly prized than any other Rose. They are not quite as robust as the Hybrid Perpetuals, but sufficiently so to endure our climate with a little protection in winter.
Duke of Connaught—Bright crimson, changing to reddish crimson; large, full flowers, without fragrance. A showy, good Rose, both in bud and flower.
La France—Delicate silvery rose; very large and full; an almost constant bloomer, equal in delicacy to a Tea Rose; the most pleasing fragrance of all Roses ; a moder- ate grower ; semi-hardy.
TEA ROSES.
The perfume of these Roses is most delicate and agreeable; indeed, they may be called the sweetest of all Roses. The flowers are also very large and delicate in their colors, such as white, straw and flesh color, and various tints of rose combined with them. They are more tender than any other rose in the catalogue, requiring a house or pit in winter. They are most desirable for pot culture.
Bon Silene—Purplish carmine.
Catherine Mermet—Bright flesh color, with the same peculiar silvery lustre pos- sessed by La France; large, fuli and beautiful form ; decidedly one of the finest Tea Roses.
Cornelia Cook—A seedling from Devoniensis. Pale, yellowish-white, sometimes tinged with flesh ; flowers very large and full; not a free bloomer, and often does not open well, but a superb rose when well grown.
Glorie de Dijon—Yellow, shaded with salmon and rose ; large, full and distinct.
Marechal Neil—Very bright, rich, golden yellow ; very large, full and perfect form; the petals are extra large and of good substance ; of vigorous growth and a free bloomer. This is unquestionably the finest of all Tea Roses.
Papa Gontier—A magnificent red Tea. It is a strong grower with fine healthy foliage ; the buds are large and long, with thick, broad petals of a dark carmine crimson color, changing to a lighter shade in the open flower. An excellent win- ter blooming variety, and one of the best for out-door planting, opening up the flowers in beautiful shape when grown in the open ground.
Perle des Jardins—A beautiful straw color, sometimes deep canary; very large, full and of fine form ; stiff shoots or stems and very free flowering.

duced ; while they are perfectly hardy, and most excellent for out-door planting, they

Madame Plantier—One of the finest pure white roses, blooming in clusters. Persian Yellow—Deep golden yellow, doubie and very fine.
fiedge Plants.
To secure a good hedge it is necessary to plant well. Dig a wide, deep trench, and work the soil thoroughly into the roots. Settle the ground firmly, so that each plant will be set as solidly as a post, then mulch heavily with some coarse material for a dis- tance of one or two feet on either side, according to the size of the plants. This is es- pecially necessary with Evergreens, and all exposure of the roots to the sun and air must be strictly avoided. Evergreens should not be planted in the Fall.
DECIDUOUS HEDGE PLANTS.
Honey Locust—Very hardy, and the cheapest and best for defensive hedges. 1 yer, 75 cents per 100; $5.00 per 1,000. 2 year, $1.00 per 100; $6.50 per 1,000.
Osage Orange—Highlyv esteemed at the West and South. Not hardy enough for the Northern states. 1 year, 50 cents per 100; $3.50 per 1,000. 2 year, 75 ,cents per 100; $5.00 per 1,000.
Miscellaneous. HERBACEOUS PONIES.
These are beautiful, showy, and easily cultivated plants, blooming from the begin- ning of May to the end of July. They should have a place in every garden. A selec- tion will give a continuous bloom for three months. We offer the best sorts, varying from pure white, straw color, salmon, flesh color and blush, to lilac and deep rose. 25 cents each ; $2.00per dozen.

HARDY STANDARD TREE ROSES.
One advantage of the Standard Rose is that, being 5 feet in height, the flowers can be seen close to the eye and the fragrance inhaled without stooping. They are partic- ularly adapted for city gardens or lawns, forming heads from 2 to 3 feetacross. A little care in training makes them models of beauty. Only the finest roses are grafted on the Standards, comprising all shades of crimson, scarlet, carmine, rose, orange, yellow, white, etc. All are hardy. $1.00 each.

RHODODENDRONS.
The Rhododendrons are magnificent flowering evergreen shrubs. All prefer a peaty soil and a somewhat shaded situation. $1.00 each.
a
CHRYSANTHEMUMS.
It is needless to enlarge upon the beauties of the Chrysanthemum, a flower which,: of late years, has become nearly as popular as the Rose. Lovely in all of its many forms, some of the varieties are marvels of fantastic shapes and colors. 75 cents each.
o>
ORNAMENTAL GRASSES.
These are very desirable for lawn planting, and serve to remove stiffness in land- scape effects.
Eulalia Gracillis — Price 25 cents, $2.50 per dozen.
DAHLIAS.
The Dahlia is wel]-known for beuty of form and brilliancy of color. All persons can be successful in its culture, if the following hints are observed. First, it delights in deep, rich soil. Let the ground be well dug and manured with decomposed loam or manure. They may be planted out in June, and well watered through a season of drouth, and they will be benefited by a heavy mulching of leaf mould or short mature to keep the roots cool and moist. Ifthe Dahlia fly attacks them, a little slacked lime dusted over the tops after rain, or when the dew is on, will be of service to them. The roots shou:d be taken up in the Fall and well dried. Keep themin a cellar or some cold place free from heat and frost. 15 cents each, $1.50 per dozen.
GLADIOLUS.
The Gladiolus still ranks first in the list of Summer Flowering Bulbs. The flowers are produced in long spikes, and are almost of every desirable color, ren- dering them indispensable for making a brilliant show in the flower garden, and are also very valuable for making large bouquets for the ornamentation of the center or dining table, etc. In such places we have never known them to fail in giving the utmost satisfaction. Assorted. 8 cents each, 60 cents per
dozen. TUBEROSE.
nN z The Tuberose is noted for its deli-
[sn ° cate beauty and exquisite fragrance; the
~ flowers are pure white, very double and
eae and are borne on stems two or three feet high. 8 cents each, 80 cents per ozen.

ON Fi TULIPS.
Owing to the late Spring frost, bedding plants cannot safely be planted before the early Spring flowering bulbs are through blooming. Without these bulbs for one or two months of beautiful spring weather, our gardens would present a bare appearance. We know of nothing, that for the amount of money invested will give a more gorgeous show during early Spring, and there is nothing more easily grown than the Tulip. They thrive well in almost any soil. Should be planted during October and Novem- ber. Our choice assorted, 75 cents per dozen, $5.00 per 100.
Mailing Pepartment.
This we make as one of our specialties—sending plants, vines and trees by mail. In many cases it is much cheaper than by express. We send plants by the thousand by mail ata much less rate to California and other distant points. This point of the business is looked after by one of the members of the firm, and has our personal in- spection before going in the mail bag. You may be sure that every package is in per- feet condition when leaving our office.
We can mail all small fruits and vines mentioned in the catalogue, so it is unneces- sary to repeat the varieties here. All we have to do is to give a schedule of the re- quired amount to pay poctage.

Potatoes.

ALLIANCE,
The above cnt represents our New, Very Early, White Potato, Alliance. We have tested it thoroughly for the Jast four years in comparison with all the best
and earliest known varieties, and for earliness, yield, quality and growth, it beats them all without a single exception.
Every Lady Sending an Order of $3 and over is Entitled to three (2-yr., strong) Rose Bushes.
Dd ALLIANCE NURSERY CO., ROCHESTER, N. Y.
In placing the Alliance onthe market, we do so with the confidence that we have a potato that will eventually become the early market potato.
Every one that has tested the quality bas pronounced it of the finest, cooking from the first extremely white and mealy.; and we can say, with truth, that it equals any variety we ever saw in this respect.
The vines grow especially strong and vigorous, withstanding the droughts of the last summer better than any other kind, and have never shown the least sign of blight.
We originated the Alliance, and own the entire stock, offering it to the public this Spring, for the first time, in such quantity as the limited stock will permit.
Order early, as there will be arush for it, as its local reputation has made it much sought for.
Price 60 cents per pound; two pounds for $1.00 prepaid.
OTHER VARIETIES.
25 cents per pound; 50 cents per peck ; $1.25 per bushel. EARLY.
Early Sunrise—Early, pink, a very good yielder, of excellent quality.
Early Ohio—It is generally conceded that this old and reliable standby still takes the head of the list for an extra early market variety. It matures earlier than any other and is ofa fine quality. We consider this the best family potato. It is of good quality when only parly grown.
Early Puritan—This fine early white potato was introduced by Peter Henderson, of New York. Isa good cropper; oblong in shape; matures about with Early Rose.
PolarisS—Apparently identical with Early Puritan, although of different origin. SECOND EARLY.
Freeman—this potato was introduced by William Henry Maule in 1892, and has received a great deal of attention. It is a beautiful oval-shaped, white russet- skinned variety, of extra quality. For family use and fancy market, we cheerfully recommend it as one of the very best. Its only bad feature is its propensity for set- ting too many tubers. Therefore it should be planted on nothing but good, rich, loamy soil, well prepared and very lightly seeded.
Charles Downing—tThis fine white potato has not received the attention which it should. It is of the same class as Snowflake and Freeman, but matures its tubers sooner, being nearly as early as the Early Ohio. We have received a good crop from some planted the 15th of July.
Early Rose—We havea stock of very fine Early Rose. Genuine.
LATE:
Rural New Yorker No. 2—This potato originated on the experimental grounds of the Rural New Yorker. Tubers oblong, inclining to round and rather flattened ; the skin is white and the flesh is of fine quality. Keeping qualities extra; will not rot in wet seasons like some other varieties. Tubers very large, yield is always heavy. f
American Wonder—One of the best of the long, white, general crop varieties. A heavy yielder; fine quality ; not adapted to compact soil.
Brownell’s Winner—The tubers grow large, long, and slightly flattened ; are very smooth and handsome, with few small ones. As an eating potato it is unsurpassed. it cooks white and dry. One hill last Fall, under ordinary field cultivation, con- tained twelve marketable potatoes and weighed seven and one-fourth pounds. This is at the rate of 640 bushels peracre. We are glad to recommend this new variety to all who are interested in growing a first-class medium late potato. We are confident it will give perfect satisfaction.
