Land that has been previously cropped with wheat, corn, potatoes or cabbage, is well
adapted for a strawberry plantation, providinz it
is well manured, ploughed deep, thoroughly har-
rowed and putin first-class condition, and above
all, that water does not remain on the ground
any length of time aftera rain. This would be

T. J. DWYER,
Dear Sir—I euclose order and $3.00 for pot grown strawberry plants if they prove to be as good
as the raspberries and black caps I obtained of you. Iwill be more than pleased. They were a
wonder and delight to all, through the bearing season last summer; with best wishes.

POT GROWN PLANTS.
Je We beg to call your special attention to our fine list of pot-grown strawberry
plants. The plants are strong and vigorous, and if planted in good, rich soil in the
early Spring, will produce a nice lot of handsome large fruit the coming June.
Please Note.—That all varieties not marked (Pistillate) are perfect flowering
kinds, and can be planted without planting other sorts with or near them. Also note
that it is the reverse with the Pistillate varieties, and that it is absolutely necessary
that they should be planted near the perfect flowering kinds. I have known of many
failures and serious losses caused by the planting of imperfect varieties, and not
properly fertilizing them with the staminate fruits.
SOME GOOD NEW VARIETIES,
Marshall (Perfect Flowers).—The Marshall is positively the strongest grower of
any strawberry we have ever tested. I may be inistaben; but I feel assured that this
berry has a great future, especially in
the home garden and for fancy mar-
ket. It comes nearer the ideal straw-
berry than anything else I have yet
seen. Itis beyond doubt one of the
largest (probably the largest) berry
yet introduced; the plants are the
rankest growers ; away ahead of all
others in this respect. In shape con-
ical, very regular, each berry like the
other; the coloris a dark red crimson; Mp
the flesh is solid and dark red; the fy % ff
flavor is the very finest. Itis possible Me vi f
to ship this berry hundreds of miles. ‘ie ty
It ripens in mid-season and continues hae off
in bearing until very late in the sea- im i is
son.
The above is from our 1896 cata-
logue. Now, after another year, we
are able to affirm what we then wrote.
We fruited the Marshall quite largely
last season. It gave us berries for our
own table for 26days. All who saw
the Marshallin fruit on our grounds
were of one opinion—that it was the
largest and best flavored strawberry
they had ever seen. The writer would
go farther, and say that of the several MARSHALL,
hundred varieties he has known and is familiar with, not one pleases him as well as
the Marshall. We have been recommending the Marshall to all, either for the home
use or for market purposes. Our stock of this grand berry is large and fine, and we
will make the price as low as we possibly can for good, strong, well grown plants.
Please remember that the plants we offer for sale are grown in beds that have
es borne fruit which makes them worth considerable more than the ordinary

i. Brandywine.—We give this berry second place
on our list and believe thatit hasa greatiuture. The
plants are very large; in fact, it is hard to decide
which is the strongest grower this plant ur the Mar-
shall. The Brandywine has perfect flowers, fruit of
immense size and fine quality, firm and shapely for
so large a berry, foliage of the largest and thriftiest,
entirely free of scald or blemish, Heavy peduncles.
The average size is as large as any ever raised, and
the shape is more uniformily good than that
of any other of the largest varieties. In gen-
eral it is heart shape, often broadly so without
neck. Its most pronounced irregularity inclines
towards a Sharpless shape, occasionally as of two
berries joined together.. Calyx and Sepal broad,
and many medium red, flesh red, firm and solid
for so large a berry, none more so, quality not the
best, but fully as good as Sharpless, and better than
Bubach. Vines exceedingly prolific. Brandywine
continues a long time in fruit, and is of a superior
shape, quality and size for so large a berry. It
BRANDYWINE. ripens in mid-season and continues in bearing late
in the season, a very profitable variety and one that is being planted largely. The
plants we offer for sale of this variety (as well as of all others) are propagated from
plants that have never been permitted to bear—you can readily see that these plants
are strong and vigorous aud worth much more than the usual run of plants.
Price per doz. 25c., per 100 75c., per 1000 $4.00.
Parker Earle (Perfect Flowers).—The plants «f
this variety are exceedingly rank and vigorous growers,
with a tendency to make enormous stools. It has
perfect flowers and good sized fruit, rather long, with
a short neck, firm, of good color and fine quality. We
have heard nothing but words of praise for the Par-
ker Earle. It is one of the few varieties that is adapt-
able to a wide range of country, and thrives well in so
many different soils and climates. We are fruiting it
on four separate soils, and in each itis a wonder of
productiveness. We have counted as many as three
hundred and fifty berries and blossoms on single plants
in our trial beds and in other parts of our nursery.
Let it be understood that the Parker Earle plants are
among the few strong growers we have, and are fully
able to mature all the fruit set. A great many are
under the impression that the Parker Earle is an early
berry, and it is quite a common occurrence to have
the plants called Parker Early instead of Parker Earle.
It is not by any means an early berry, not even a
second early, or mid-season fruit. Ripening quite late in the season, it should be
known as a late berry. No one can make a mistake by planting this grand variety.

Greenville (Pistillate).— We are very well
pleased with this new berry. We have found the
plants good, strong, clean, healthy growers, witha
compact, dark, rich foliage, resembling the Bubach
in many respects. The fruit, however, is finer
and of much better flavor. It is large, firm, dark
crimson in color, quite regular in shape and even
in size, and ripens evenly all over. It is very
productive, and ripens in mid-season. The plants
thrive well, wherever we have heard from them.
Tue Greenville is to-day a very popular new
variety.
The above is taken from our 1896 Spring
catalogue. Last season’s fruiting of the Greenville
confirms our opinion of its real merit. We believe
this berry has come to stay.

You Can Save Ten Per Cent.—We will allow you a discount of ten per cent. on
any order to the amount of $1.00 and upwards, providing the same reaches us before

logue.)
NG SOME OF THE NEWER VARIETIES.
Wm Belt (Introducer’s description.)—The plant is very large, a most luxuriant
grower, and remarkably productive. At the end of last year’s drougth, early in
November, it was not surpassed for green, healthy appearance by any one of
over 100 varieties on my place. Its
blossoms are perfect, and it seems that
each one is followed by a berry. It is
medium in ripening—neither very early <A
nor very late. Its size is very large in- Za WHC
deed. No other variety ever gave me se)
so many immense berries. In picking
twelve quarts from a matted row with
good common culture, I selected thirty-
seven that filled three quart baskets,
and the other nine quarts were all large. Hh
I have seen eight-inch berries on spring |
set plants within ten weeks of planting.
In form it is conical, rather long and \
quite uniform in shape, except that the
first berry on a fruit stalk issome times
misshapen, especially with high cul-
ture. The color is a brilliant, glossy
red—as near perfection as was ever
seen in a berry. It ripens all over
without green tips. The quality is
good.—better than is usually found in
large berries.

Many of the berries are of the largest size.”

Jersey Market (Pistillate).—The intro-
ducer has this to say of it: ‘The berries
are bright crimson in color and of large but
not mammoth size; being remarkably uni-
form in both size and color. They are
above the average in firmness, of rich,
delicious quality and ripen in midseason.
Plant of exceptionally strong, healthy habit

Michigan (Perfect Flowers).—The introducer
has this to say of the Michigan: ‘‘It is not only a
handsome berry and firm, equaling in size the
Gandy, ot high quality, but ripens ten days to two
weeks later than that superb strawberry—in fact,
when Gandy is at its best, the Michigan begins to
show color upon its first ripening berries. Inform
it is bluntly conic, exceptionally uniform in size
and shape, and of bright crimson color, with dis- f
tinct yellow seeds. The plant is a strong, healthy
grower, and very prolific.’’
Price per doz. 50c.; 100 $2.00 ; I,000 $15.00.
Anna Kennedy (Pistillate)—It is extremely
sturdy and vigorous. But the fruit is what is truly
wonderful. The almost globular berries are as
smooth and regular as though moulded. Of the
& most intensely
X brilliant flame
color imaginable
and so glossy that the light plays upon them and
is reflected as with jewels. During the ten years
we have truited this variety, we have yet to find a
cockscombed or ill-formed berry. In addition to
its marvelous beauty it is extremely rich, sweet
and sprightly, medium to large in size, and firm.
Price per doz. 50C.; 100 $2.00 ; 1000 $15.00.

Sharpless, retaining its size well to the end of the
season. In productiveness surpassing the fa-
mous Crescent, in firmness equal to the Wilson, is

The plants are said to be exceptionally strong
growers. Eleanor has not fruited at the Orange
County Nurseries as yet. Will have it in fruit the
coming season ; the plants are very small; it may
be very early, but we have but little hope of its
rivaling the Sharpless in size.

THE BEST OR THE STANDARD VARIETIES.
Michel’s Early (Perfect Flowers).—The Michel is
a perfect flowering sort, an extra early fruiter. Berries of
good size, immensely productive, a good market berry,
and, all things considered, a very profitable extra early
berry.
This variety has become very popular for the last
two years. There is no doubt but what it is one of the
most profitable extra early varieties. We have received
as high as 25 cents per quart for this fruit the past two
seasons.
Price per doz. 25c., per 100 60c., per 1000 $3.00.
Lovett’s Early (Perfect Flowers).—Lovett’s Early

POT GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS.
We have a fine large stock of all the following va-
rieties grown in pots. Thest plants can be set in the
early Spring. and will yield a good crop of fruit the
coming season. I would recommend these plants to
those who are about to plant a bed this Spring, and
are anxious to procure fine, large fruit the first season
after planting.
Each plant with its massof rootsand with rich soil
attached to them, is wrapped in paper and packed in
moss. With this treatment the plant never suffersany
drawback, and if planted properly, in reasonably good
ground, will begin growing rapidly atonce. One can
readily understand how a plant of this kind set in

a large quantity of handsome fruit.
For the last two seasons we have been unable to supply the demand for these pot
grown plants. The call for them is increasing at a rapid rate each year. With this
fact before us, and having from thirteen to fifteen acres of strawberries growing at
our nurseries, we have grown for this Spring’s trade over 25,000 of these pot grown
plants (in addition to the ordinary layer plants that we grow by the million.) We
have made the price for them as low as possible for strictly first-class, large pot grown
plants, and expect to dispose of all we have early in the season. Please note that the
varieties we offer below are the best and most profitable sorts under cultivation.
Send in your order for these p!ants as early as possible. Remember, we can ship pot
grown plants most any day in the year.

STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY.
Itcomes to us from Japan
and is said to be a hybrid be-
tween the Strawberry and Rasp-
berry. That the plant is entire-
ly hardy without protection and
a prolific yielder, we can bear
testimony from personal obser-
vation of plants in our tnal
grounds. In habit of growth
the plant is distinct from both
the fruits named. The root is
perennial, throwing up numer-
ous strong branching shoots,
which produce large, beautiful
berries from early in July until
= freezing weather. The berries
are globular, slightly oblong in
form, ranging in size from 1
to 1% inches long and one to

The Logan Berry (Introducers
description in part).—This berry
which is a true hybrid between the
red raspberry and blackberry, was
produced in California; it has
proved entirely hardy at the East
and North. The berries are of
enormous size—fully equalling the
largest blackberries, which they
resemble in form and structure.
In flavor they are rich and sprightly
—a mingling of the raspberry and
blackberry, mellowed and refined,
but distinct from either—and they
are melting and without core. In
firmness they are like a blackberry
and keep a long time either gath-
ered or upon the bush after ripe,
before spoiling. The flavor is so
lucious, novel and rich, the berry
cannot fail to please everybody as .
a dessert fruit. For canning it is superior to all the other small fruits, and for jellies
and jams it is said to be unequalled also.
The canes, which are exceedingly prolific, are of strong vigorous growth. What
gives special value to this novel fruit is its earliness, ripening as it does at the close
of the strawberry season, and in advance of all but the very earliest raspberries. The
past season we gathered ripe berries off it on June 20th, in 1895 on June 24th ; it con-
tinuing each year to give us ripe berries for three weeks, perfecting all its fruit,
even the last, to full size, firmness, color and flavor.
Good tip plants, each 25c., 3 for 60c., doz. $2.00; 100 $15.00.
RED RASPBERRIES,
FTER preparing the ground the same as you would for strawberries, set the
plants six feet apart between the rows, and one foot apart in the row, thus
making a continuous row for fruiting, which gives one-third more fruit than
by the hill system. Set posts 20 feet apart, and run one wire 3% feet from
the ground, and train your fruiting cane to the wire—this is the cheapest
and best method, and is being adopted now quite generally. My stock of raspberries
is very fine and large.
To plant an acre of raspberries, as advised above, namely, six feet apart between
the rows, and one foot apart in the row, would require 7,260 plants—the number of
times six will divide into 43,650, which is the amount of square feet contained in one
acre ofland. Some advise planting a greater distance apart in the rows, but we have
learned, from many years of practical experience, and from our observation of the
plaktations of our neighbors, who have hundreds of acres of raspberries in fruiting
withinja radius of a few miles around us, that the distance we advise above is the
best, and will give most satisfactory and profitable results,
THE LOUDON RASPBERRY.
(See cut on back cover of catalogue.)
Mr. E.S. Carman describes the Loudon in the ‘‘ Rural New Yorker,’’ in this
way:
Loudon is the finest hardy red we know of. Some of the berries are nearly
round, some are decidedly conical, more so than those of Cuthbert. When ready to
pick, thecolor is a bright red, the berry firm. When dead ripe, the color is a darker
red, but not at all purple.
August 1.—Now that Cuthberts are gone, Loudon is still bearing.
i4 CATALOGUE OF THE ORANGE COUNTY NURSERIES.
We wish to add to the above valuable and trustworthy evidence our own expe-
rience. We fruited the Loudon at the Orange County Nurseries the past season, and
we were well pleased with it. The fruit is very large, exceptionally firm, of fine, rich,
attractive color, and of the best flavor. The canes are fully as large and strong as the
Cuthbert. The Loudon may develop bad qualities as it grows older; but, as faras
the writer can learn, and from his own observation, it will become, ere long, a popu-
lar market raspberry, something we are much in need of at the present time.
The above was written for our 1896 catalogue. After another years fruiting of the
Loudon we are even more favorably impressed than ever with its worth. As grown
here at our nurseries the canes are very strong and vigorous, probably larger than
either Cuthbert or Marlboro which were without doubt the rankest growers we had
in the Red Raspberry. Thus far the Loudon has proved entirely hardy here with us.
It ripens three to four days after the Marlboro and continues in fruiting a long time.
The plants are so vigorous that the last of the fruit is quite as large asthe first. This,
as all well informed fruit growers know, isa very desirable feature forany fruit to
possess and particularly so with a good market raspberry. The fruit is very firm and
will make a good shipping berry. We have great faith in the future of this berry for
\\. this reason we have made a large planting of it the past fall.

Miller Red Raspberry.—Berry is as large
as Cuthbert, holding its size to tne end of the
season ; round in shape, color, bright red ; core
very small; does not crumble, making it the
firmest and best shipping berry in existence;
has arich, fruity flavor. The time of ripening
is the very earliest. This new berry has given
such good results in many places that many
large fruit growers have discarded all other va-
rieties and are now growing it exclusively. The
Miller Red will be a good mate for the Loudon
as it ripens several days in advance of Loudon.
With us it isa very fine grower. We will fruit
it quite largely the coming season.

DEWBERRIES.
HE best manner of cultivating is to set the plants in rows three feet apart and
eight feet apart between the rows, allowing them to make a matted row
about four feet wide, and to mulch the ground as soon as the blossoms ap-
pear, thus keeping the fruit from getting muddy with the rain.
Lucretia.—Is the best varieiy and the one we grow. We have been much inter-
ested and delighted with this fruit, which ripens a few days in advance of the black-
berry, and is productive of large, fine-flavored, luscious fruit without any core. When
people realize the value of this fruit it will be a welcome guest to their garden.
Price per dozen, 50 cents ; per 100, $1.50; per 1000, $10.00.
BLACKBERRIES,
HE ground should be prepared the same as for raspberries. Set the plants
eight feet apart between the rows, and eighteen inches apart in the row,
thus making a continuous row for fruiting. which gives one-third more
fruit than by the hill system. Set posts in the row twenty feet apart, and
run two wires onthese posts. Run one wire threefeet from the ground, and
the other wire five feet from the ground,and trail and tie your fruiting canes to these
wires. This is the cheapest and best method, and is being adopted now quite exten-
sively in place of the old hill system. The blackberry succeeds well in most any soil,
and the land would be poor indeed that could not give a good crop of this fruit. The
blackberry is one of the most profitable of fruits, and the demand for it is increasing
very rapidly each year. We have made the growing of these plants one of our spe-
. Cialties, and have a very fine, large stock of all the plants named below. We would

Eldorado.—It has been in cultivation twelve years, and under careful test at dif-
ferent experiment stations for four years. In every case they report it high above any
other variety, and all agree that it has never winter killed or failed to produce a full
crop of the finest fruit. While itis of superior flavor and very large, the vines will
also stand the winters of the far northwest without injury. The fruit has no hard
core, but when placed in the mouth melts away, being most pleasing to the taste and
very sweet. The yield is enormous, the fruit being jet black, in large clusters, ripen-
ing welltogether. Its keeping quality is unsurpassed.
Price each 15c., per doz. $1.00, 100 $5.00.

RE
CURRANTS.
HOULD be planted in a good, rich, moist spot. No fruit responds more
liberally to manure and thorough cultivation, and none will depreciate more
in size, quantity and quality from neglectthan the currant. One great mis-
take made is planting too close to each other. For garden culture they
should be set five feet apart each way, and for field culture they should be
planted six feet apart each way. Thorough. clean cultivation between the rows and
around the plants is essential to the best results. Should the currant worm appear,
use one teaspoonful of hellebore to two gallons of water, and with water can or hose
spray the leaves with this solution. A syringe can also be used for this purpose.
Prune thoroughly each year by cutting out all the old wood and heading off the new
growth one-half each year. The currant is one of our most profitable fruits, and when

fine stock we have to offer for sale this Spring, we have now in the ground for the
Fall trade of 1897 and the Spring NG 1898, over one hundred thousand plants

Fay’s Prolific.—This has fully sustained
the broad claims which were made for it by
the disseminator upon its introduction ; and
it is decidedly the best red currant we have.
It has been widely planted, and has given
general satisfaction. The bush is a strong
grower, wonderfully prolific, and comes into
bearing early. Fruit large, bright red, and
of good flavor and less acid than cherry,
which it is rapidly superseding. Those who
want a profitable red currant should plant
this variety.

GOOSEBERRIES,
OOSEBERRIES require the same treatment in planting, pruning and cul-
tivation as recommended for the currant. With a little care in keeping off
the currant worm, and fair cultivation, enormous crops can be grown, and
profitable results can be had in growing govoseberries. Owing to the im-
proved varieties and to good results obtained from spraying for the last
three years, the gooseberry has becume very profitable, hence very popular, and is
betng planted very extensively.
Red Jacket.—It is a new gooseberry, and the best red one in existence, with
good foliage, mildew proof, productive, fruit of excellent quality. This berry seems
to be of especial value on account of its claim to be mildew proof—which will be an
acquisition to people residing in localities where other varieties mildew badly.

Industry.—The best English gooseberry yet intro-
duced ; of vigorous, upright growth; greatest cropper

pleasant and rich ; color, when fully ripe, dark red.

HARDY GRAPES.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS.
The best soils are those containing more or less clay, with a mixture of disinte-
grated rock, rotten shale, small stones, limestone, etc. Gravelly and sandy soils are
often admirably adapted to the grape, as is also a sandy loam or alluvial soil when
well drained. In short, the grape may be successfully grown in anydry soil of suffi-
cient fertility to produce a good farm crop, if climate and exposure are favorable.
The only necessary preparation of the soil is thoroughly to plow and pulverize it
to a depth of 12 to 18 inches. If naturally poor, it should be enriched by a liberal
application of thoroughly rotted stable manure, when it can be had, bone dust, ashes,
or other available fertilizers. Of the commercial fertilizers, those containing a large
percentage of potash and available phosphates are most desirable.
When ready to plant, stake out the ground in rows, eight or nine feet apart, and
six to ten feetin the row. Dig the holes about two feet wide and fifteen inches deep,
loosening the earth thoroughly in the bottom, throwing in two or three inches of sur-
face soil. Before the vines are taken to the field the tops should be cut back, so that
when planted only two or three buds will be above grottgd, and the roots shortened
to ten or twelve inches.
The Alice Grape.—The
Alice grape is a native
seedling of unknown par-
entage, found on a farm in
Ulster County, N.Y. After
Io years testing by the side
or along with 20 other
varieties, it is now offered
as the coming grape. Itis
especially valuable for its
long keeping qualities ; this
has been fully proved ; kept
in an ordinary cellar, with-
out cold storage or special
care, they will at the end
of Winter, in February and
March, be sound, plump
and sweet. The value of a
grape of high quality that
can be held and marketed
at any time during Winter
will be conceded by every
grape grower. The fruit
is a pale red grape, darker
when grown in shade, with
abundant lilac bloom;
about the size of Catawba ;
of fine flavor, high quality,
free from foxiness, rich in
saccharine; pulp meaty
and tender, with few seeds
and small; sweet to the
center; skin thick and
tough, without astringency.
The vine is exceptionally
vigorous and strong, many
branches making 20 feet or
= —_ more growth in a season.
Wood very hard, rip.us uniformly. Foliage healthy, large, thick, heavy, dark
green, free from mildew ; prolific—from 4o to 60 clusters on a well developed vine;
very hardy. (We believe it will prove to be one of the hardiest varieties grown.)
Average weight 6 to 12 ounces, medium size, compact, mostly slightly shouldered,

The Green Mountain Grape.—lIt stands at the head of the list for earliness,
good bearing and vigorous, healthy growth. The berries of medium size; color,
greenish white; skin, thin, and leaving no unpleasantness whatever in the mouth
when eaten; pulp, tender and sweet, with a slight inclination towards the vinous.
The seeds, which are only one or two to a grape, separate from the tender pulp with
the slighest pressure after leaving the skin. We feel confident that this grape pos-
sesses desirable qualities that will make it one of the most popular and profitable
fruits of recent introduction. We advise all our patrons to plant a few vines of this
grape.

FRUIT TREES--APPLES,
Plant Thirty Feet Apart Each Way.
The proper season for transplanting fruit trees is during the months of March,
April and May, in the Spring. October, November and December, in the Fall, or at
any time after the cessation of growth in autumn until they commence budding in
the Spring. If the ground is not in good condition, it»should be made so by the
application of a considerable portion of well-decomposed manure or fertilizer of some
substantial kind. Most soils would be benefitted by the application of a good coat of
lime or wood-ashes, which should be well mixed with the soil. When the ground is
prepared, dig the holes sufficiently large to admit the roots, giving them their natural
position as near as practicable. Use the surface soil for filling in, having it first well
pulverized.
We have avery complete list of all the best varieties, a large and handsome lot
of trees, and would request you to send us a list of the stock you are in need of; we
think we can please you both in quality of goods and prices.

variety.
PEAR TREES,
Plant twenty feet apart each way.
Pear trees prefer a rich, heavy soil; still on light soils made rich by the use of
fertilizers, the fruit is of the best quality. The branches should be thinned out occa-
sionally ; most varieties require heading back, especially when trees are young.
The fruit is much improved if picked before it is ripe ; it never should be allowed
to ripen on the trees. The fruit of winter varieties should be left on the trees as long
as possible, then stored in a cool, dry cellar, and removed to a warm room for ripen-
ing as wanted.
We have the largest and finest stock of pear trees we have yet had ; we have
made our prices very low on this account, and hope to dispose of our stock early in
the season Should you contemplate planting largely of this profitable fruit, please
send us a list of the varieties you need, when we will send to you our lowest estimate
by return mail.

standing for many years. It is exceedingly early ; in fact the entire crop is marketed
before the early harvest. The Koonce is not only early, but it is of fine quality.

The Lincoln Coreless Pear—The trees are strong. healthy growers—-grow
heavy and stocky—enabling them to hold the fruit well. Noseeds,
no core, large size, quality the best of its season, good keeper,
good shipper. Think of eating one and a half pounds of truly de-
licious pear without having to be bothered with the core, which
often takes up one-fourth of the fruit itself. It would be an excel-
lent pear to preserve whole, or to eat as dessert fruit.

Pe wien 4 is one of the earliest of all early pears to ripen.
Therefore it will sell at a fancy price at the fruit stands. There is
no early pear to compete withit. A good grower, good keeping,
good shipping, superior flavored, early pear is what is needed at
this moment in our homes and on the market, and the Wilder
Early appears to fill the bill.

spotted with russet; flavor good. Its large size and handsome appearance makes it
valuable for market.

ish, keeps sound a long time. Tree a good grower and abundant bearer. A magni-
ent and valuable market fruit.

“ductive.

flesh white, buttery, with a high, rich flavor, very productive. We have no hesita-
tion in pronouncing it to be the most valuable pear that growers can raise. Every

2 and abundant perfume. Melting and juicy.

DWARF PEAR TREES.
Plant the Dwarf trees eight feet apart each way. We have the following varieties
in the dwarf trees, and we would recommend them to all who are anxious to get fine
large fruit in ashort time: Duchess, Bartlett, Beurre D’Anjou, Clapp’s Favorite,
Kieffer, Sheldon, Seckel. Price for No. 1 trees, 4 to 5 feet, each, 20 cents; per
dozen, $2.00 ; per hundred, $15.00.
PEACH TREES.
Plant The Trees Twenty Feet Apart Each Way.
Peach trees will not give good results in the orchard without thorough cultivation
but set around and near buildings, in sheltered nooks, will live much longer and give
greater satisfaction, and, singularly enough, thrive better if the ground about them is
not disturbed.
Be sure that the soil is well supplied with potash. Muriate of potash is the most
desirable form to apply. Wood ashes may be used toa good purpose if readily ob-
tainable. Bone dust and ashes is one of the best fertilizers.
Plant no deeper than the trees stood in the nursery, and make the soil very firm.
It is very important that the young tree should be properly pruned at the time of
planting. Allside branches should be cut back to within a few inches of the main
stem, the latter being severed at about two-thirds the distance from the ground.
Small trees should be pruned to a whip, cutting back the stem nearly one-half the
way tothe ground. The after culture is very simple, being merely to keep the sur-
face always mellow and free from weeds. For the first two years after planting, hoed
crops may be planted between the trees with advantage.

_ (Sweet).—The cherry thrives on any good land that is not excessively wet, and
is naturally a hardy tree, succeeding in lightest soil and dryest situations. The
Heart and Bigarreau varieties are of rapid growth, with large, glossy leaves, forming
fine, pyramid shaped heads, and producing large crops of luscious fruit ; are well
adapted for planting along the streets, or in yards as shade trees.
XS NEW VARIETIES.
Mercer Cherry—It is larger than the Black Tartarian and finer flavored. Itisa
splendid shipper and always brings the highest prices in the market. In 1891 there
was a glut in the cherry market, but we cleared $2.00 per basket, and one tree yielded
between thirty and thirty-one baskets of fruit. In 1890 we had more cherries on our
tree than was picked from any other two trees in the neighborhood, and they netted
us over $2.50 per basket (sixteen quarts).
In 1892 it again proved its superiority over all other varieties by producing a full
crop of fruit, free from worms or rot, while other varieties were totally destroyed by
rot.
Price for trees, 6 feet and up, 50 cents ; per dozen, $5.00.
Centennial—Comes highly recommended as the best shipping cherry ever
known. The fruit is of immense size ; beautiful amber-shaded red, with very firm yet
tender flesh ; sweet, rich and luscious. It is a seedling of Napoleon Bigarreau, which
it resembles in appearance, but is much larger. Early.
First-class trees, each, 50 cents ; per dozen, $5 oo.
Windsor—The tree is vigorous, hardy and an early and good bearer. The
cherries are obtuse heart-shaped, dark purple or nearly black; the flesh quite firm,
fine in texture and rich in flavor, ripens early.
Three years, 7 to 8 feet trees, each, 50 cents ; per dozen, $5.00 ; per 100, $30.00.

PLUMS.
Plant Twenty Feet Apart Each Way.
The plum shows its best production when planted on heavy, well-drained and
rich soil. Tosecure fine fruit it is necessary to be guarded against the curculio, a
small brown insect, which stings the fruit, causing it to fall before maturity. To
guard against this insect the trees should be jarred each morning early, while the dew
is yeton. Spreading sheets under the trees, insects falling on them can be easily
discovered and killed. Fallen fruit should be burned or fed to swine. As soon as
blossoms have fallen, continue for two weeks. The cost of protecting large orchards
will not exceed ten cents per tree for the entire season.
JAPAN VARIETIES.
These are somewhat different from our American sorts, being of much more
vigorous growth ; they are very productive, and the fruit can be shipped a long dis-
tance and arrive in splendid condition. Their chief value is the fact of their coming
into bearing a short time after being planted.
Price for any of the varieties named (all on Plum stock) trees, 5 to 6 feet, 30c.
each ; $3.00 per doz.; 100 for $15.00; trees, 7 to 8 feet, 50c. each ; $5.00 per doz.; 100
Nor $25.00. | :
Abundance—lt is exceedingly hardy. Its propensity for early bearing is such
that before it leaves the nursery row the limbs bend with the weight of fruit until
they sometimes break, and this is the case every year—the curculio having no effect
on it ; the fruit is large, showy and of a beautiful amber shade.
Satsuma—A purple fleshed plum from Japan, of very vigorous growth, with
rank, dark green foliage ; enormously productive of fruit ; large and handsome. Pit
but little larger than a cherry stone. Fruits at two or three years of age. Considered
the most valuable of Japan plums.
‘Y Burbank—The fruit is usually from five to five and a half inches in circumfer-
ence, and varying less in size than other Japan plums, nearly globular, clear cherry-
red, with a thin lilac bloom. The flesh is a deep yellow color, very sweet, with a
pent and agreeable flavor.
Ogon—A handsome, very desirable Japanese plum. Large, nearly round, of a
bright yellow with faint bloom ; flesh firm, sweet, rich and dry. Excellent for can-
ning. Last of July.

GARDEN ROOTS.
ASPARAGUS PLANTS.
We have a fine, strong, large stock of the
varieties named ; our plants grown on good soil,
such as we have here in Orange County, are
nearly twice the size of those grown by the
majority of dealers.
After preparing the ground thoroughly, and
freeing it from all stones, roots or other rubbish,
plant for garden culture, three feet apart be-
tween the rows, and one foot apart in the rows ;
for field culture set the plants four feet apart
between the rows and eighteen inches apart in
the rows. In either case be sure to set them
one foot below the surface of the ground, cov-
ering the plants not more than three inches
deep ; every ten daysor so after, or as the leader
shows over the soil, fill in again, and use this
method of covering until the leader is above
the surface of the ground. Many failures of
plants to grow, that have wrongfully been
charged to the inferiority of the plants, have
been caused by the planting in these deep
trenches and filling in over the plants level
with the surface ground at the time of plant-
ing, the plants decaying in the ground for
want of air, because of this deep covering ; then
let it be remembered that while it is of the first importance to get the roots deep in
the ground, it should be accomplished in the manner described above.
Write to us for prices on 5,000 to 50,000 lots. Our stock is very fine and large.

Dear Sir—Your 400 apple trees shipped to me came to hand Thursday noon,
and as it rained Thursday afternoon and Friday I did not unpack them until
to-day, Saturday, or I should have sent the money before, as the trees are per-
fectly satisfactory. Yours respectfully,
H. P. DEMAREST.
