Crates and Baskets.

Our Excelsior crate, which has proved such a great success in past years, has been
improved in many ways, yet we have still maintained the same low rates. It is the best
crate ever put on the market for growers, as it is roomy, and still a neat package.

Fruit growers know the advantage of placing their berries in good packages—some-

: thing that will allow them to fill the baskets well, so
that when they are offered on the market, the baskets
are still full, and the berries are not mashed. This is
the great objection to most crates, as the racks are so
light that they will not allow the baskets to be filled,

ee i tcl < Lt an unless by mashing the top fruit, and when placed on
ae cen (Ue, the market, the bruised will not bring the top price.
dit i | | ti iif The crates hold 32 baskets, or one bushel. They
a HT tus! are slatted up the sides, with solid ends, and -have

sth a vit | | 7 they are the most complete crate on the market.

iit They are made of the best wood, weil dried be-
fore being nailed together.

PRICES WITHOUT BASKETS: 50 cents each ; per 20, 45 cents each; per 50, 40 cents each.
PRICES, FILLED with BASKETS: 75 cts. each; per 20, 70 cts. each; per 50, 65 cts. each.

Acme Gift Crate.

We have had many calls for a Gift crate, so we have gotten up one for our trade.
It is made strong, and of the best wood, being slatted on sides and ends, and will last
_ for a number of seasons for near-by markets, but they are especially useful to shippers
who do not wish them returned, as they are cheap, and will place the fruit in good con-
dition on distant markets.

These crates hold one bushel, so do not con-
fuse it in price with the western gift crate,
that holds but 16 quarts, and has not a lid. This
crate is in every way the best, and when the fruit is
to be shown, the lid can be raised without the drawing
of nails. These crates are all filled with boxes, and
the boxes are offered orly with the crates.

PRICES, filled with boxes: 45 cents each; per 20,40
cents each.

Baskets. |
Our baskets are made of gocd, dry poplar, and are the best on the market. They
can be shipped in bales of 500, or when crates are being ordered, 100 can be nested to
each crate. They are made on a form that will close the corners so that the smallest
berry cannot drop. In fact, they are in every way first-class.
All crates and baskets are loaded free on cars at this place.

PRICES: 65 cents per 100, $5.50 per 1,000; $5.00 per 1,000 in 5,000 lots, and $4.50 per

REETING.—At the beginning of another season, we
have again much pleasure in introducing ourselves
to our many esteemed patrons and friends in the
shape of a new Catalogue, which we trust will meet
withthesame approbation asinthe past. Thesystem.

atic arrangement, combined with complete index, we trust

Will be of great assistance to our patrons in making out their orders. We wish to thank all our friends for their

kind words of encouragement and testimonials received the past year, and can assure them that it will be our

endeavor to serve them better in the future than in the past, as we believe there is no more important fact to be

‘borne in mind, than that a good reputation for serving all our customers well, with good stock at a fair price and

“true to name, isthe surest foundation for business success. Wetakeespecial painsto makethis, ‘‘ Our Agent, ”’

_atrue and reliable guide for all fruit planters, discarding all varieties which we know are worthless, retaining

» only the best of the new and the good old varieties which experience hastaught us are worth planting. . All new
varieties we subject to test before placing them before our customers, thus giving them the benefit of years of
vexperience and preventing many losses by planting some old and often useless stock underanewname. This
-costly experimenting has saved hundreds of dollarsto our customers. We have no desire to see our patrons
-test a long list of different varieties of fruits, nurse, prune and care for them, only to find disappointment in the
vend. Our desire is to place before our readers only good and reliable varieties of stock, suited for commercial

"purposes, that can beraised with profit. To this fact only can weascribe our enormous increase in business the
‘past few years, which has compelled usto enlarge all our buildings, and adopt all the modern appliances
‘for filling orders. We have spared neither time nor expense in making this one of the foremost Nurseries in
‘the country, and one deserving the confidence of all fruit growers. Weemploy none but skilled assistants,
who have had a life-long experience in handling, packing and shipping trees. Itis our aim tosupply nothing
but the best stock at the lowest prices, and intending customers with large orders will find it to their advan-
tage to send us a list of all stock wanted; we will then give our very lowest prices’on the lot. By this means
we often make a reduction in price to help us from carrying over any stock which we might havein surplus.
To many of our readers who have not yet favored us with an order, all we ask is foratrial. We feel sure then
we shall have your acquaintance in future years, for we know by experience that ‘‘ Once a customer, alwaysa
customer, ’’ has had more to do with our success than all the writing we could put ina Catalogue. Our stock
‘this season is as fine as was ever grown by any Nursery, and we will guarantee it true to name, perfectly
thealthy, free from root-knot or any insect pests, well rooted and stocky. We state these factsto assure our
-~patrons that in dealing with us they are sure of getting stock that will grow and prove a blessing to many in
_cafter years.

Farmers, we wish to urge you to give more attention to fruit-growing. Choice fruits will always sell well,
at a good profit. Plant an orchard this year, and lay the foundation of a good income later. You will also find
it both a pleasant and profitable occupation. You will reap the advantage of better health, as there is nothing
more conducive to health or happiness than a good supply of fresh fruit, which you can have, with a proper
selection, ail the year round. If you want advice on anything, we are always willing to lend you a helping
hand in making a selection suitable for your locality.

| We have many new and choice fruits to offer this season, which you will find fully described in the Cata-
logue, and which we can recommend to all, as worthy of a place in their collections.

We also beg to draw the attention of our customers to our many advantages. Our soil is peculiarly
-adapted for the Nursery business, stock making a rapid and clean growth, and our small fruits are unsurpassed,
which is evident from the fact that we are entirely sold out every season. Our packing department is under
-the personal supervision of our Mr. E. W. Reid and assistants, who are all old and experienced hands, who
“have grown up with the business, and who spare no pains in seeing that the stock is fully up to our high
-standard of grading. Morethan that, you get stock truetoname. Our facilities for shipping are unsurpassed,
as we have all the leading trunk lines represented, and six express companies. This competition insures us
-the very lowest rates as well as prompt attention. Our location, just opposite Wheeling, W. Va., gives us
-many advantages over our own town, as it is just as handy to ship from this point as from Bridgeport. Further,
- we have the Ohio river, by which we can reach many points at very low freight rates from Pittsburg to New
- Orleans, St. Louis, and other points along the great rivers.
CHEAP BUT FRESH STOCK.—We do not want you to think that we sell cheap stock because our
-rates are much lower than those of many Nurseries ; we deal directly with you, and not through agents, who, in
many cases, add fifty per cent. tothe cost. Weare nota ‘‘ Cheap John.’’ We sell our stock at a small profit
to increase our trade. We look atthe matter inthis way: If wecan sellto five men at the same profit we
- would make from one, we increase our trade, and our stockis our best advertisement.

=

We take our stock, just as ordered, from the ground, hence it all grows. _Our Strawberries have been
shipped to Texas, California and Florida by the thousand, yes, by tens of thousands; reaching their destination
as fresh as when taken from the ground. ;

OUR SHIPPING SEASON usually begins about March 15, and continues until December 1. Wecan
get stock out in good time for our southern customers, as we fill orders from this section fir's¢.

LOCATION.—We are on the high hills back of the Ohio River, hence our stock always matures, and is not
injured by winters.

ESTIMATES.—If you want large orders, write us for estimates, and in many cases we can quote you rates
below catalogue prices, as oftentimes we have a surplus of stock. Many times, if customers when ordering would
add an extra dollar or so to order, and request us to send its value in suvplus stock, we could send almost twice
the regular amount of the best fruits and ornamentals.

NOTICE.—We will be pleased to have our customers look after our interests in their locality. While we
do not emyloy agents, we are pleased to have clubs, or any parties wanting stock t> club together, and send their
orders asone. In this way you can save quite a per cent.; you can get stock at a less rate, and save in freight.
Not only this, you save fifty per cent. in price over the cost if bought from an agent. You also get what you
order when you deal direct.

WHEN TO ORDER.—EARLY, in ail cases; then you are sure of stock named, and we have time to ad-
vise you in regard to anything you may want to know. We also give early orders on trees, etc., a discount.
Our stock in many cases will be exhausted before the season is over, as is the case with every Nursery ; so you
see the importance of early orders. We will hold stock if one-fourth of the value is paid, but in no case will we
book orders unless that amount is paid as a guaranty.

MAIL ORDERS.—This we make as one of our sfecialties—sending plants, vines and ¢vees by mail; in
many cases it is much cheaper than by express. We send plants by the thousand by mail at a much less rate to
California and other distant points. This part of the business is looked after by E. W. Reid himself, and every
package goes through his hands before going to the mail-pouch. You may be sure that after a life experience he
is an expert at the business.

HOW FAR CAN WE SHIP ?—A question we cannot answer. Never have we tried to send stock toa
customer, no matter how far, but that word has come to us that stock has arrived in good condition. It has been
packed forty-five days, and received in good condition.

SHIPPING FACILITIES.—We have represented at this point, and at Wheeling, W. Va., the dest ship-
ping point of any Nursery in the United States. There are but few points that we cannot reach direct, both by
freight and express. We have two lines of the Pennsylvania Company—Cleveland & Pittsburg and P. C. C. &
St. L., or ‘‘ Pan-Handle Route.’’ By the C. & P. we reach and bill direct with cars east and west via Pittsburg,
Fort Wayne & Chicago, or Pennsylvania Railroads, or over any of the lines operated by the Penna. Company.
We have also the B. & O., including all its lines east, west, north and south; the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling,
which represents the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern; and the “‘ Big Four,”’ the Wheeling and Lake Erie,
which represents the great Erie system. Also the Ohio River R. R., which reaches all points along the river be-
tween Pittsburg and Cincinnati, and gives us connections with the C. & O. Besides this, to all points that can
be reached by the Ohio river we have the Pittsburg and Cincinnati packets every day. : Es

We have represented here in express companies the Adams, Southern, American, National, United States,
Pacific, Wells, Fargo & Co. (which also operate Missouri Pacific). With such a number of transportation com-
panies, we can insure you lower rates than from any other point. This, with the reduction of 20 per cent. on
express charges, and being on a direct line, is quite a point in our favor.

TERMS AND ADVICE.—Cash with order. All mail addressed to RE1D’s NURSERIES, BRIDGEPORT,
OHIO, is safe; we have a special pouch between the Bridgeport office and our own, and with the return
envelopes we send everything is safe.

REMIT by Post Officeor Express Money-order, Registered Letter, or Draft on Chicago or New York, orif by
private check, add 25 cents for collection. Make allremittances payable to the order of REID’S NURSERIES.

C. O. D.—We will send goods in this way, provided one-fourth the amount is sent with order, but this is an
expensive way to ship, as you have the return charge to pay on remittance. Goods will be sent in this way by
freight, ifrequested. No orders from entire strangers will be booked unless one-fourth of the amount is paid on
them as a guarantee.

When making out your order, do so on the order sheet mailed in the catalogue, and do not mix it with your.
letter. If you have any special directions, place them on the order sheet, naming the road or express company
you wish us touse. Otherwise we will use the best route laid down in Shippers” Guide.

NO ORDER RECEIVED FOR LESS THAN $1.—Please bear this in mind. We have made quite
a list of collections, so that you can get stock low, and we cannot enter orders for a less amount.

CANADIAN ORDERS will be filled at 10 per cent. less than catalogue rates, owing to the duty, on all or-
ders from this catalogue, but in no case send us Canadian bills or coins ; such cannot be used except at discount.

FORMER PRICHS are set aside by this catalogue, and prices affixed to dozen, 100 and 1,000 are for
quantities named ; but half-dozen, 50 and 500 will be supplied at dozen, 100 and 1,000 rates.

GUARANTY.—AIll our stock is true to name and carefully labeled ; yet, while we use the greatest care to
do this, we will not be held responsible for any sum greater than the cost of stock, should any prove otherwise
than as represented.

_PACKING.—We make no charge for boxing or packing above rates in this catalogue. Everything is
delivered free on board of trains at rates named.

CLAIMS orerrors must be reported immediately on receipt of stock, and will be rectified promptlyi.
just; no claims entertained after 14 days, as we do not guarantee stock to live after arriving in good condition.

TESTING FRUITS.—We ate always glad to receive new fruits for testing, so that we can see how they
do on our soil. They are as safe with us as with the originator, and at any time he wants any information in
regard to them, it will be given. 3

STRAWBERRIES.

CULTURE.—Marny points are to be learned in this line of horticulture in one’s life ; hence, with a life-long
experience, one must profit by it. It would be useless for us to rehearse all the points we
have brought out in the past through the journals of the country, setting forth the methods
of culture and marketing the crop. In this brief space we can only allude to this point, but
in a brief way we will try and cover the ground.

With the standard berries of the day, it is no trick to grow from 150 to 250 bushels of
this fruit per acre, if the proper care is given and the best varieties planted.

One would think it useless to work a bed once a week; but here is one point not to be
overlooked ;. cultivation checks evaporation, and admits air to the soil, which the plant
roots delight to have. Thus, by frequent culture you add both to the root-growth and the
crop of the future. =

Different methods of planting prevail in different sections of the country; hence, we
PERFECT FLOWER. Can but give you the one practiced by us. This is a compromise between the matted row
and hill systems. With the matted row you get much small fruit—with the hill quite large

berries, but not in paying quantities ; so we adopt a compromise between the two.

When a bed is set in spring, we allow no runners to set until July 15 to August 1; we then see that they are
not huddled together, but kept separate so they will form a good root-growth, and be prepared to produce a
~ good crop.

The method many practice in the matted-row system is pushing the runners to the plant all through the fall.
This is not right, you form a nest of vines w‘thout being well-rooted, and that will produce inferior fruit. When
one wants some fine specimens of fruit, he will not go to the largest cluster of vines, but where the set is more
scattered and where the sun shines in around the plants.

The rows on this system should be 3% feet wide, and plants 15 to 18 inches apart in row. In preparing the
soil, we would not advise planting sod to this fruit, but if that is done, it should be plowed the fall before and
replowed in the spring, with a light coat of manure plowed under, and the same worked in from top.

The soil cannot be too well prepared ; the more work put on it, the less it will require in the future.

As a fertilizer, we recommend barn-yard manure above all others. Commercial fertilizers with us have never
proved a profitable investment ; hence, we pay more in proportion for the former than the latter. The manure
has the lasting qualities, where with the phosphate you know not the hour its strength will be exhausted, and
many times the result will be loss of crops.

We advise working the manure into the soil from the top by plow or harrow;; it is then placed in reach of
the plant roots; when plowed under it is seldom reached, and the plant proper receives but little from it.

The soil does not need to be rich to produce the crop, any soil that will produce good potatoes or wheat,
with a supply of manure added, will yield you good returns. The one main point in view should be cultivation,
and the best tool to do this work at the least expense is the Planet Jr.

PLANTING.—The planting of a bed is the most important part. It costs you the same to cultivate a poor
stand of plants as it does good ones; hence, the importance of well-rooted strong plants.

We cannot produce such with the care and high culture we give them at the cost they can be grown on New
Jersey sand-banks and at some other points, but we can send you plants that are worth ten times their value,
and which will all grow; not only grow, but produce you a good growth instead of one of the dwarf nature!

The plant should not be planted deeper than it stood in the bed ; when planted too deep it will not grow, and
if planted too shallow, the same.

We use a spade and line for setting ; have our plants all dug, and when we are ready, it is but a small job
to set. Two men and a boy can set one acre per day Care should be taken not to expose the roots to sun
or wind at any time.

Should plants be received before you are ready to plant, or should anything interfere, heel in; cut the string
about the bunch and spread them out, dampening the roots, but not the leaf.

Our plants are all stripped of surplus leaves and runners, and put in bunches of twenty-five, packed in light
baskets, which keep down express charges, and cause no danger of heating. All our plants
are true to name.

PERFECT AND IMPERFECT BLOSSOMS.—Strawberries are all perfect or im-
perfect, or in other words, male and female. Those marked (P) are imperfect and destitute
of stamens, and must be planted so that they can be fertilized with perfect-flowering varie-
ties, every three, four or five rows.

The best way to make the fertilization perfect is to set two varieties between—one early
and one late; this will add to crop and size of fruit.

Some people are prejudiced against pistillate varieties. This should not be. We have
found them the most productive; hence, better paying and less injured by late frost. For
family use, we prefer a perfect variety, as they are somewhat easier handled ; but for profit,
the one that produces the most salable fruit is what we want. IMPERFECT FLOWER.

QUART BASKET OF TIMBRELL, PHOTOGRAPHED FROM NATURE.

’TIMBRELL. (P.)

_ _This is undoubtedly a queen in the Strawberry family, and fully bears out all the claims we made for it on
its introduction, The many flattering testimonials in its favor which we have received the past season make
us feel proud as being the introducers of so valuable a berry.

It has a combination of qualities making it a peer of any six varieties in existence. In quality it has no
equal. Itisa healthy and vigorous grower, productive, with berries averaging largesize. Being alate bloomer,
we have never known it to fail a full crop. Eveninthe past dry season Timbrell produced more berries than
any other two varieties combined. Itisthe latest of allto ripen, whichis a decided point inits favor. The bloom
being imperfect addsto its value, as imperfect varieties willstand more frost than perfect ones. For fine flavor it
stands alone as atable berry, and withits excellent qualities, extreme lateness in ripening (good late berries
are rare), you havea berry when allothers have gone. This alone is a merit which is worthy of making any
berry popular. For a fancy berry we do not know its equal.

The vine is a vigorous, rank grower, with dark, thick foliage; berry large and symmetrical, dark crimson
color, extending through the flesh when fully ripe. Bears abundantly, and being very solid, stands shipment
well. Wecommendthis berry to all our patrons as the best late variety in existence, and as sure to become one
of the leading standard varieties when its sterling values are known. Be sure and get the genuine plants.

The following testimonials from our foremost fruit judges, fully bear out all we claim for Timbrell:

_E. G. FOWLER, in an extract read before the Farmers’ Club of New York, says: ‘‘ The TIMBRELL, a new
variety, comes nearer to the ideal standard than any other I have seen in the direction of quality.’’

E. S. CARMAN, editor of The Rural New- Yorker, who is one of the best judges of new fruits, and who has
had more experience than any other manin the country, says: ‘“‘Timbrell is the best Strawberry in
existence.”? Again hesays: ‘‘ Were I confined to one berry, it would be Timbrell.”

OLYPHANT, PA., July 19, 1595.
Timbrell is giving much more satisfaction with me this year. This is one of the most productive varieties
I have out of 116 kinds. EY J. Bua

E. S. CARMAN, editor of The Rural New-Vorker, answers G. A. P., of Pennsylvania, as follows: ‘‘1. Is
Timbrell as valuable as Brandywine Strawberry? 2. How will the twosorts compare with Parker Earle in
ie] ? The latter yielded for me at the rate of over 300 bushels per acre.’’? Answer.—‘‘1, Timbrell is better
in quality than Brandywine, though Brandywine is very good—superior, indeed, but it is notibest. This can
be truly said only of Timbrell. 2. Either will compare in yield with Parker Earle.’’

Price, 50 cents per dozen, $1.25 per 100, $7 per 1,000.

BRANDYWINE.

This new candidate for public favor originated with Edward T. Ingram, Pennsylvania. It is of immense
size and fine quality; quite firm and shapely for solargea berry. Foliage of the largest and thriftiest, entirely
free of scald or blemish. Heavy peduncles. In averagesize is as large as any ever raised, and the shape is
more uniformly good than that of any other of the largest varieties. Medium red, flesh red, firm and solid for
solarge a berry; none moreso. Vines exceedingly prolific. The best berry in our collection of this season up

, » ENORMOUS.

This is rightly named so far as we have seen, being the best we saw fruiting in a field of all the standard
varietie-. Plants are simply immense, and their tremendons root growth makes them independent of a dry
: season. Berries are large to very large, and were hanging in clusters
-in matted rows. Weconfidently believe this to be about the best berry
offered for some time, and can fully recommend it to all our progressive
berry growers as a bonanza. If you want one of the best new berries,
getthis. Plants aresomewhat limited,so-we request our patrons who want
to try this berry to send in their orders early.

“LADY THOMPSON.

This is the new North Carolina va-
riety which created such a stir among
fruit growers by the astonishing prices
the berries brought on the northern mar-
kets. Owing to its large size and
strong points as a shipping berry, it
brought from 30 to yo cents a quart,
while other kinds were selling at less
than half that price.

Mr. J. S. Westbrook, one of the larg-
est Strawberry growers in North Caro-
lina, says: ‘‘I have shipped the Lady
Thompson another season, and my ex-
perience has not only confirmed but in-
creased my good opinion of its merits.
It has proved its adaptability to adverse
as well as favorable surroundings. We
have had an unusually dry season, and
while the other varieties of berries suc-
cumbed to the drought and many plants
died, the Lady Thompson held up and
yielded a full crop of fine, large berries.
I began shipping them April 6, and at
this writing, May 18, there are many ber-
ries on the plants, in every stage from
the bloom to well-matured, ripe ones,
and I am still shipping at remunerative
prices, although the market is broken
and small berries are worthless. I con-
sider the Lady Thompson invaluable and
very superior to any berry I have ever
seen.”’

The berry is beautiful in appearance,

with a perfect blossom, and the plant im-

mensely productive. We believe it will

rank with the best for a field berry. It

LADY THOMPSON.

is quite a favorite where planted, espe-
cially amongst shippers; being so solid,
it invariably arrives in good condition
and commands the highest market price.

It has also a long season of ripening, and brings all the berries to perfection.

BANQUET.

“‘This variety promises to be one of the coming
Strawberries for home gardens and fancy markets.
The plant is very thrifty and the flowers are perfect.
Size of fruit medium, 1 by 14 inches, and very uni-
form; shape conical, rather elongated; never cox-
combed; color a rich, dark crimson, without tendency
to lose color when over ripe; flesh firm, coloring to the
center and ripening equally in all parts; quality very
good; FLAVOR PECULIARLY RICH AND PLEASING; os-
sessing in a marked degree the aroma of the wild
berry. The stems hold the fruit well up from the
ground, resembling Crescent in this regard. In sea-
son it is about medium.’’— WU. S. Pomologitst.

y TENNESSEE PROLIFIC.

This is a seedling of Crescent and Sharpless, in-
heriting great productiveness from Crescent and very
large size from the Sharpless. No variety has ever
before become so widely and quickly popular. The
sight of it in fruiting time is all that is needed to con-
vince one of its value. A perfect bloomer, that has had
nothing but praise on all sides. Largeand productive
as Bubach, several days earlier, and a staminate, are
the claims ofits many friends in Virginia. Onspring-
set plants it gave us large, smooth, round, bright red
berries, firm enough to carry well, and good enough
to eat out of hand. The plant is clean, dark and vig-
orous in foliage, producing an abundance of strong
plants. Price reduced to

25 cents per dozen, 75 cents per 100, $5 per 1,000.

ov GREENVILLE.

Comparing this variety, as we do, with Bubach No.
5, which is known to growers asa most superb berry,
would say it resembles it in growth. The leaf is a
lighter green, but has not the robust growth, yet it is
a better growerand morefree torun. The fruit is not
quite so large as the Bubach, but is of better quality
and much more solid, making a goodshipping variety.
Compared with Bubach, Warfield, Haverland, Gandy,
Crescent and Cumberland, on a scale of ten points,
Greenville obtained the highest average.

Wecannot 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 have found that they
cannot grow anything for commercial purposes that
will givethem more satisfaction. The plant and foli-
age are entirely hardy with us, and Greenville will be
one of the berries forthe masses. Ourstock of this
variety is large, and we have made rates very low.

The following is the official report of the Ohio
Agricultural Experiment Station of 1891: ‘‘ The
Greenville is a strong competitor of the Bubach, and
indeed bearssome resemblance tothat variety. The
plants are ashade lighter in color than the Bubach,
makea stronger growth, and are quite as productive.

The berries average a little smaller than Bubach, but {

are more uniform in size andregular in outline, and of (%

finer texture.
will have the important advantage over the Bubach of
being a better shipper. ”’

‘* Have nothing to take back of what we have said
in the former reports regarding Greenville. It is a
first-class market berry, and is good enough for home
use. The plants are healthy and productive; the
berries of fair size and attractive. I rank Greenville
as among the best.’’—W. /. Green, Horticulturist
of Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, Colum-
bus, Ohio, August}, 1892.

A tall, very luxuriant grower, with broad, dark
green foliage. Perfect blossoms; very productive of
medium to large, rich, glossy, dark red berries, which
are produced on tall, stout fruit-stalks, that always

seldom any dirty or mussy berries, even after heavy
showers, when there is no mulch under them. The

sell like hot-cakes for the highest price. The flavor of

bling that of the wild Strawberry, makes it one of the
most delicious of berries.’’

Without doubt the best berry on the market,
speaking in a general way, and taking into considera-
tion its general good qualities. There are others of
larger type, and others more productive, butthere are
not any that will rank with it in general quality.

In speaking of Parker Earle in the spring of ’92,
we recommended all our trade to plant it in a gen-
eral way, and for market, and few failed to try it.
We had faith in it from its very first appearance on our
grounds; so muchso that we planted it heavily,and the
more we see of it the more we esteem it.

On our grounds, after we had dug every plant
from a bed in the spring of ’91, the parent plant, in the
spring of ’92, produced an average of over one quart
per hill, or 10,000 quarts per acre. The crop was har-
vested under the most unfavorable circumstances, as
there was not a working day from March 25 to May 15
that we were not among them, taking up plants, and
loosening the soil about the roots. Had the above
named plantation not been disturbed, I have no doubt
it would have yielded at-the rate of at least 500 bushels
to the acre.

Every commercial grower should plant it, and we
will say that it will be years before it will be reduced
to the regular rate of standard sorts. It makes but
few runners, and the increased demand that'must be
for a berry of its quality will keep it high for some
years. We have reduced our rates to about one-half
those of last spring, so that they will be in reach of the
commercial grower, and think we are safe in saying
that our stock is the largest outside of Texas, ‘‘its
home.’’

25 cents per dozen, 75 cents per 100, $5 per 1,000.

“\y PRINCESS. (P.)

I know of nothing that will give better returns to the
grower than this variety. [{t is hardy and robust, a
seedling of Minnesota, standing its cold winters in
perfect condition. In size it will average about with
Bubach, but is far superior to this variety in every
particular. Bubach will have some berries that are
larger, but the average crop of Princess isthe best. It
is an all-purpose berry, and will stand more drought.
than any other. Plants are very hardy, vigorous and
productive. root deep, stand drought well, and hold
up well tothe end of the season. Quality good.

PARKER EARLE.

BISEL. (P.)

It is pronounced by the lez ding horticulturists and!
all others that have seen the fruit to be a fine berry,
well suited for marketing.

The Bisel matures all of its fruit of good size, and.

continues to fruit very late, although it matures the.

bulk of its fruit as early as the Crescent variety, the.
Its being:

last berries being nearly as large as the first.
an enormous producer and covering a long season in.
maturing all of its fruit, gives it a chance to mature-
its full crop of good size, which alone makes it ex-
tremely valuable. Its beautiful color and large, uni--
form-sized fruit gives it a ready sale in any market.
Fancy Bisel berries were quoted in Chicago circulars.
50 cents per case above all other Illinois berries, on.
the 15th of June, 1893.

It is a seedling of the Wilson, propagated in 1887.
Blossoms are pistillate. Plants healthy, vigorous.
growers and abundant plant-makers. They have
long finely-matted roots, which enable them to stand:
severe droughts. The fruit is very large, luscious, and
firm; color, a deep glossy red, with a double calyx.
Very productive. Season same as the Crescent, but
continues to fruit*later, and very uniform in shape and
size. The fruit is held from the ground by large fruit

trusses, and is protected from frosts by its large foliage.

SPLENDID.

This is a new western berry, and from the reports
of the different experiment stations, is a very promising
variety. The introducer has so much faith in it that he
openly offers $5 for 5 plants that excel it in the following
points: Yield, firmness, flavor, size, color, shape, run=
ning, resisting frost and drouth, and health of plant,
and it is doubtful if ‘there is a pistillate that surpasses.
it in all these points. It is also claimed that it can be
shipped 1,o00 miles in good condition. From the fol-
lowing testimonials’ from two of our leading horticul-
turists, we feel sure we are offering a berry which has.
merit, and is well worthy of a trial by all who are in-
terested in good fruits: eh

Two Telling Descriptions.

Splendid. (S.) Strong, healthy plant, tall fruit:

stalks, berry large, firm, fine color, ripens all over;

regular, globular, very productive, medium early;

The plant is a healthy, luxuriant grower, sends »

out many runners, and bears abundantly. The fruit
is large, and far above the average in quality and ap-
pearatice. It is desirable for home use or market.

It seems to be nearly equal to the pistillate varieties

in this respect. The plants are very vigorous and

almost perfectly healthy, and but little inferior tothe

best pistillate sorts in productiveness. It is-strictly

prise by this berry. It was the best fruiter on our

-better condition than any other variety, and pro-
duces a good crop of beautiful fruit. Itis very large;
after the nature of Bubach, ripening late with Gandy’s

wellfrom the ground. This isthe best late berry we
have growing, all pointsconsidered. Very firm, and
when put on the market brings the highest market

early varieties, making the latter end of the crop
more perfect. Wehave received five cents per quart

lose its reputation by going into otherstates. This is

Size large; color light; will not stand long ship-

cannot recommend the Haverland too highly, as it
has good foliage, is a strong grower, and fruits abun-
dantly. Some growers claim 1,000 bushels per acre

mended for loam or clay but not for sandy soil, and
its name misrepresents it, as it is not an early va-
riety, but mid-season; very sour, but is a good ship-
per and very productive. Is a good staminate for

Warfield No. 2. (P.) After fruiting the past season
with us, we were more pleased with it than ever, so
we cannot but give its former place on the list. All
things considered, it is of the very best. Similar in
color and some other respects to Wilson—being very
firm—it can beshipped along distance. In going
through our. beds this season while in bloom, we
failed to find one plant that did not set ; this cannot
be said of many sorts. Size large; plant very pro-
ductive. 25 cts. per doz., 50 cts. per 100, $3 per 1,000.

SPECIAL NOTICE.

We are heavy growers of small fruits, and can supply large lots of plants at low rates; you also get fresh
stock that will grow, not dried-up plants, that have been packed away. Write us for terms on large amounts.
Estimates cost you nothing.

We do not wish our Strawberry plants to be placed on the same plane with those grown in New Jersey,
Delaware and some partsof Maryland. We do not grow such stock, hence we do not wish you to compare our
rates with such. Our plants are large, vigorous and healthy, and when set, you get a good growth. Plants
grown onstrong soil cannot be dug, bunched and packed as low as some dealers offer them.

CULTURE.—After preparing the soil the same as for strawberries, make straight rows seven feet apart,
and plant three feet in therow. Mark only one row at atime, and plant when ground is moist. After setting,
press the soil firmly about the roots with your feet; this is very essential ; work as you would corn and potatoes,
and do not let any ridge work about the row. I cultivate with the Planet Jr. horse hoe, and practice level cul-
ture. You can plant anything that will not shade them between the rows the first year. Ifmanure is plenty
and you can get it, spread on the ground before plowing the first year, as it adds greatly to the crop. The ends
should be pinched out of the young canes when one foot high the first year, and the second when one and one-
half feet ; do not let them get too high. By doing this you will dispense with stakes and wire. The pruning
should be done in spring, when the leaves begin toshow themselves. Cut the laterals on an average from Six
to twelve inches in length. When the fruit is all gathered, cut out and burn all old wood and young canes but
the three best. This destroys all aN, rust that may occur, and the canes make a much better growth.

LOUDON.

This new candidate for popular favor was originated in Wisconsin, by F. W. Loudon, and hence it bears his
name. He is weil
known in his

most prominent

Mr. E. S. CAaR-
MAN, of The Ru-
ral New- Yorker,
-one of the best judges of new fruits we have, in that journal gives his opinion of this new Raspberry as follows *

“July 14.—Loudon is the finest hardy red we know of. Some of the berries are nearly round, some are
‘decidedly conical, more so thanthose of Cuthbert. When ready to pick the color 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.’’

*‘ The only further comment we have to make is that canes are vigorous and virtually thornless, the foliage
luxuriant and healthy. It is not safeto pass any emphatic judgment upon anew Raspberry from the way it
‘conducts itself during the first fruiting season, and the same may be said of almost any fruit. As judged by this
first season, the Loudon is a hardier variety than Cuthbert. Itismoreprolific. The berries average larger, and
‘they are decidedly firmer. They hold to the peduncle better. The color is atrifle brighter, and the quality
fully as good. Neither the plants nor berries resemble the Turner (its alleged male parent) in any way. ”’

““We have said that the Loudon—as judged by its fruit during a single season—will prove more valuable
than the Cuthbert, and that is sayinga great deal, since up to this timethe Cuthbert, by general consent, stands
at the head of the late reds. The plants seem perfectly hardy, and more vigorous than Cuthbert—the canes
virtually thornless. It begins to ripen with Cuthbert, continuing during alonger season. The berries will
average larger, the drupes larger and firmer. The berries cling tothe stem well, and never crumble. The
‘typical shape seems to be broadly conical, though some are nearly round, and others more conical than those of
Cuthbert. When ready to pick the color is a bright red. When dead ripe the color is a darker red, but not at
all purple. It will be seen that—if we may rely upon the above comparison—the Loudon has marked vantage
haracteristics over the oid favorite Cuthbert. ”’

Ny COLUMBIAN.

This is anew berry, believed to be a cross between the Cuthbert and Gregg, and is claimed to be superior and
larger than the Schaffer’s Colossal, of which it isaboutthesame typeand color. Fromthe comments of the press
and many growers, we believe this berry has some de- aS
cided merits, and can recommend it as worthy of a trial.
We append the originator’s description, as follows:

1. It is a most vigorous grower, its canes from 10 to 16
feet in length, and are often an inch in diameter near
their base, very woody and with little pith.

2: Its roots are very large and run very deep and
spreading, enabling it to successfully resist drouth.

3. It has a very handsome and healthful foliage, light
green in color, whicli retains its vigor until killed by the
autumn frosts. a :

4. It propagates readily from the tips, and never suck-
ers from the roots. : fo

5. Itis perfectly hardy. It has gone through winters
when the temperature reached 28 degrees below zero,
coming out unharmed in the spring.

6. The fruit is very large, often an inch in diameter
and three-fourths of an inch in length. In color it is a
dark red, bordering on purple. It adheres firmly to the
stem, and will not drop off, drying up if not picked. It is
not seedy, but is juicy and sweet, making it a delightful
table fruit. The berries grow on separate stems, making
picking easy, and they never crumble in picking.

7. The fruit is inseason from about July 12 to the mid-
dle of August, and it is remarkably uniform in size and
quality, holding out well to the last.

- 8. Toillustrate its productiveness, the following facts
are submitted: The first plants produced from the origi-
nal plant made arow1to feet inlength. Estimating the
rows to be 7 feet apart, the following figures show ine pro-
duction peracre: The first season (1889) there were pickec
48 quarts, at the rate of 2,720 quarts totheacre. Thesec-
ond picking in 1890 was 130 quarts, or at the rate of 7,350
quarts to the acre, and in 1891 it was Ioo quarts, or 5,660
guartstotheacre. Thelighter crop in 1891 was due to a
severe drought, which nearly ruined other fields of berries.

The Rural New-Vorker sent a representative to visit:
the berry in the season of-1892, who spoke’of it highly in
his report in that careful and conscientious journal, sum-
ming up as follows: \ ;

“Tn all, it is most promising, and The Rural predicts

JAPANESE GOLDEN [PIAYBERRY.

: i PR reise ote 3 eer = {
A Raspberry which ripens tts fruit before strawberries. This is a decided and valuable novelty,
a aK ae originated by the celebrated Luther Burbank, of California.
We give his description of this wonderful berry as follows:

‘‘ The earliest Raspberry ever known. The berries are
of a golden straw eolor,.as large as Cuthbert, and ripens
here in April, a month before Hansell, before strawberries,
and before the earliest of the standard Raspberries of the
past have hardly awakened from their winter rest. The
bushes are distinct from all others, growing like trees, 6to
8 feet high, with spreading tops, and all along the branches
large, white, bell-shaped blossoms are pendent, which are
soon followed by the great, sweet, glossy, golden, semi-
translucent berries.

‘*The plants, when well established, will surprise one
with their abundance of fruit.

‘‘ The history of this variety is as follows: Some ten
years ago I requested my collector in Japan to hunt up the
best wild Raspberries, blackberries and strawberries that
could be found. Several curious.species were received the
next season, among themaredand alsoa dingy yellow,
unproductive variety of Rubus palmaius. One of these
plants, though bearing only a few of the most worthless,
tasteless, dingy yellow berries I have ever seen, was
selected solely on account of its unusual earliness, to cross
with Cuthbert and other well-known Raspberries. Among
the seedlings raised from this plant was this one, and,
though nosigns of the Cuthbert appear, yet it can hardly
be doubted that Cuthbert pollen has effected some of the
wonderful improvements to be seen in this new variety.”’

“~ GAULT.

Thisis what fruit-growers have for many years been look-
ing for—an everbearing blackcap of largesize, hardy, good
grower and productive. On the originator’s grounds and
elsewhere, so far as tested, the Gault meets all these re-
quirements. Having carefully watched it now several sea-
sons, and knowing it to bea good thing, we have no hesi-
tancy in recommending it to all small-fruit growers. The
following are the introducer’s history and description of this
berry:

: ““This berry was a stray seedling I found by the road-
side. The vinesare extremely hardy, and the berries of deli-
cious flavor. As to:size, they are immense, some crown
Es. berries having measured three inches in circumference.
JAPANESE GOLDEN MAYBERRY. (urbank’s.) When I found the plant it was quite small, and had but
three clusters of berries on it. The s7ze of the fruit was

: : “that which attracted my attention. It was a year later be-
fore I discovered that it wasa perper-
wal, and during the seven years since
I discovered it I have frequently been
surprised by new points of merit.
‘““ The first crop commences ripening
about the time of Gregg, is more abun-
dant, and continues in bearing for three
or four weeks, by which time the new
canes begin to fruit, and continue until
checked by frost. This latter crop does
not consist of a few scattering berries
at the axils of the leaves, but zmmense
clusters, often numbering too berries
onasinglecane. While many of these
clusters seem immense, yet they do not
exhaust the vitality of the wood, for the
same cene will bear a full crop next
year. The young sets, when planted
in the spring, will bear fruit in the fall of the same
season. Many persons have visited my grounds and
examined the vines and fruit, and unite in testifying @&
that the reality exceeded their expectations. They *#
must be seen to be appreciated.”’

These plants last season retailed readily at $1
each, or $10 per doz., until the stock was exhausted.
This season, having grown a large and fine stock, we
can afford to place them within the reach of every one,
and will fill all orders, while the stock lasts, at the
following rates.

KANSAS. There are few if any of the blackcap
Raspberriesthat impress us more favorably than this.
It succeeds wherever tried, and will fast supersede
such varieties as the Gregg. For a market berry we
believe ithasnoequal. Its handsome appearance will
always command a ready sale; in quality it is as good
as the best. Plantis astrong, vigorous grower, with
healthy clean foliage. Can highly recommend it for
general planting or a home garden.

One feature of the Kansas I never saw in any
other —the early tips will grow from the bud (that in
other kinds remain dormant), and grow 2 to 4 feet
the same fall and stand uninjured the next winter.
The later tips will grow above ground and make a
bunch of leaves like a strawberry plant, and then
force a surprising growth the next season, while
some buds remain dormant; thev have done so for
three years.

The Kansas produces more canes andbranches, ¢
covered with a thick blue bloom, and is of muchg
larger size than the Gregg; makes: a vigorous¢

‘growth through the entire season, holds its foliage
uninjured till frost, makes plenty of strong tips that
are absolutely hardy to stand the changing cli-
mate, and produces a fruiting spur from every bud,
and aberry as much larger than the Gregg as those
of the Gregg are larger than the Souhegan. It is
of a jet-black color, firm texture; and delicious

first time. It has done very well in Ohio, and we
think will do well in mostany soil; in fact, it is es-
pecially adapted for the north. It is very hardy,
willstand the coldest weather, and is abundantly
productive. The fruit adheres well to the bush;
can not easily be plucked by birds or washed off
by rainor wind. It is not as early as some other

in size. Quality is of the best. Berry free from bloom,
and very attractive in the measure, making it a splen-
did seller. The canes make a strcng, upright growth,
with a bright, healthy color resembling the Ohio, and
quite as hardy. One, peculiarity of Eureka is that it
seldom throws more than four new canes eachseason to
the hill, and, never less than two; thus it is not neces-
sary to thin the canes to the proper number, as nature
performs this task. Its ability to bear fruit is truly
wonderful. Price 75 cents per dozen, $3.50 per 100, $25.

‘‘ This variety was first sent here under the name of
Melott’s Favorite, and later as Muskingum, which is
no doubt the prior name. Its resemblance to Shafier’s
is-very close, the plants being more compact in

which resembles it in many respects. It is two

PALMER RASPBERRY. The Palmer has been tested from the Atlantic to the Pacific, receiving the
highest commendation from all sources, and is fully established as the best and most productive early blackcap
yet introduced. We had the honor of introdu¢ing this valuable new berry, and it'made quitea record the past year.
W.J. Green, horticulturist-at the Ohio Experiment Station, says the following of the new varieties recommended
for general planting—Palmer, Muskingum and Hilborn: ‘‘ You willsee by the report below how the Palmer suc-
ceeded alongside of the standard varieties, and*youcan form an opinion as toits value.’’ Itis supposed to be
a cross of Souhegan and Gregg. The vigor and healthy appearance of the bush, withits wonderful produc-
tiveness and its early ripening, have attracted much attention, and since it made its appearance it has been
fruited with the popular varieties known as Doolittle, Souhegan, Greggand Ohio, and he says it surpasses them
by far. Mr. Palmer says that planted beside Souhegan, the Palmer yielded 120 bushels per acre from four-year-
old vines, and one bed two years old did as well. 35 cents per dozen, $1 per 100, $7 per 1,000.

very early, being the earliest red Raspberry in the neighborhood, even ripening before the blackcaps. This
year the season being late, the first were picked the rothof June, and as we have noearly ground, we know
that anything that will ripen early on ourown grounds will be sure to ripen early almost anywhere. Every
fruit-grower knows the necessity of having a red Raspberry that will. come on, with good picking, just as the
strawberry season is over. There is more money in an early red Raspberry with us than any small fruit we
grow. While the late varieties are sold at half the price, or even less than that, we say toone and all, don’t

There have been few novelties
introduced tothis country that are
more interesting or beautiful in
their way than the Japanese Rasp-
berry, brought out recently under
the name of Wineberry. It origi-
nated from seed sent home by Prof.
Georgeson, late of the Imperial
College of Agriculture, Tokio,
Japan, and gathered by him from
a plant growing ina wild state on
the mountains of that country.
The canes of this interesting plant
are large, robust and entirely
hardy here; they are thickly
covered with purplish red hairs,
which extend along the stemtothe
extremity. Theleaves are large,
tough, dark-green above and sil-
very grey beneath. Each berry
is at first tightly enveloped by the
large calyx, forming asort of bur,
which is also covered with purplish
red hairs so thickly as to present
the appearance of a moss rosebud.
These gradually open and turn
back, exposing the fruit in all its
beauty. The berriesare of medium
size as compared with our Rasp-
berries, but of a beautiful, translu-
cent appearance, running through
all the shades of amber to crimson
astheyripen. Thereis a freshness
and brilliancy about them impos-
sible to describe, and we know
nothing in the way of Raspberries
soattractive. A bushin full fruiting
is a sight not readily to be forgot-
ten, anda decided ornament to the
garden. In quality itis good, with
a rich and sprightly flavor, but
decidedly brisk subacid. When

Ohio. This berry is one of the most profitable for
evaporating on the list at the present day. The
fruit is of medium size, but very sweet; one of the
best for table use; I think it ahead of the Gregg for
family, as it is not so seedy. I recommend it as
one of the very best, it being very hardy, of vigorous
growth, more so than Gregg, and ripening earlier.

has seen its day, but I can make more clear profft
from an acre of it than from any other. It seems
that everybody has of late years been planting
Gregg, the late variety, and paid no attention to
earliness. In view of its great productiveness, we
would advise a more general planting for market
purposes. 50 cts. per doz., $1 per Ioo, $7 per 1,000,

CUTHBERT RASPBERRY.

Red Raspberries.

Marlboro. The largest of the early red raspberries,
ripening a few days later than Hansell. One of th
best red raspberries for the north. The canes are
hardy and fairly productive. Fruit large, luscious,
bright crimson, and of good quality. It may be con-
sidered the finest and best early hardy raspberry.

\é° cts. per doz., $1 per 100, $7 per 1,000.

affer’s Colossal. A red or purple variety, which
is very valuable for canning or home use, but useless
for market purposes. It has neither quality no
color to sell it, and on the market it is a drug.
As it isso very productive, in many localities it would
be of value; here, it sells for less than the hlack.

oS cts. per doz., $1 per 100, $8 per 1,000.

thbert. There is no finer berry grown than the
Cuthbert. I have grown them one inch in diameter;
they would look like strawberries onthe vine. The
bushes were red allover. There isno red raspberry
that will pay me as well as this, to my knowledge.
The canes are large and straight, holding up the
fruit from the ground. If I were to begin berry-
growing again, I would have the Cuthbert for my first

red variety. 35 c. per doz.,75 c. per 100, $6per1,ooo. !

NS aie The fruit of this variety is very hand-

some and produces well, but winter-kills with us. I
have fruited it in past years very largely, but of late
only enough for fancy trade. 35 cts. per doz., 75 cts.
per 100, $6 per I,ooo.

Herstine. A very good berry; stands the winter
well; canes hardy; very early and productive.
Often sells for five cents per quart more than late
varieties, on account of its peculiar and handsome
appearance. Crimson color; very firm, making it a
good shipper. 35 cts. per doz., 75 cts. per 100, &

» 1,000.

Rancocas. Asa very early berry this variety holds
a high position. It ripens its fruit in a brief space of
time, a desirable feature in an early berry, as it gen-
erally brings about double the price of a medium.
Fruit rather large, roundish, bright crimson, juicy
and very good quality ; canes with us are hardy and
productive; a goodearly berry. 35 cts. per doz., 75

BLACKBERRIES.

CULTURE. The culture of these is about the same as that of the raspberry, but if the soil is not very rich,
AU they may beset 5 by 2 feet in the
Ys row; on rich soil, 6% by 3 feet. It
y 3 = requires about 3,000 plants per
acre. They should be topped 2
feet from the ground for laterals;
do not let more than 3 canes grow
to thehill. The pastseasons have
proved tous that there is as much
profit in Blackberry culture as in
any other branch of fruit-growing.
We gathered enough fruit from
vines this season to almost pay for
4 the ground they grew on—getting
$4 per bushel for fruit at a home
market. The culture of Black-
berries is not so general as the
profits would justify, the demand
being always good in the larger
cities.
ELDORADO. We are more
than ever impressed with the con-
viction, after fruiting this berry
another year, that we have in this va-
riety the best Blackberry ever intro-
duced. Wherever it has had atrial,
its merits appear at once, and hence
its quick popularity where tested, so
much so that we have already had
to decline orders in large quanti-
ties, as it is our intention to have this
worthy berry distributed as far as
possible amongst our patrons. The
past winter was the hardest on Black-
berries in all our experiences, but this
variety came through all alive tothe
tips, when most other hardy varieties,
such as Snyder, were winter-killed.
If you want something superior to
anything beforeseen in a Blackberry,
get some of this variety.

DESCRIPTION. Like manyofour
best fruits, Eldorado is an accidental seed-
ling, and takes its name from the town close
by where it was found in Preble Co., Ohio.
It has been cultivated 12 years, and under
careful test at different experiment stations
for 4 years, has never winter-killed or failed
to produce a fullcrop ofthe finestfruit. The
vines are very vigorous and hardy, enduring
the winters of the far northwest without in-
jury, and their yield is enormous. The ber-
ries are very large, jet-black, borne in large
clusters, and ripen well together; they are very
sweet, melting,and pleasing to the taste, have no hard
core, and keep for 8 or 10 days after picking with
quality unimpaired.

We quote words of commendation from the fol-
lowing high authorities :

From Dept. of Agriculture, Washington, D.C.

GOOSEBERRIES.

This fruit, so popular, large, handsome and delicious in Europe, is beginning to re-
ceive a little of the attention in America that it well deserves. Like the currant (to
which it is closely allied), the gooseberry is a gross feeder, and delights in a deep, rich
soil. Its greatest enemy is ‘‘mildew,’’ which, however, is generally avoided by plant-
artial shade, as recommended for currants, and by thorough mulching.

KEEPSAKE. This is one of the latest and most improved English
varieties. Fruit very large, green, and of the best flavor; an im-
mense cropper, strong grower, and one week earlier than Industry.
It is asure bearer owing to its dense foliage, which protects the
bloom from early spring frosts. We can strongly recommend this

_as being the best of its class on the market, and all our patrons
should try it. 2 year, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per dozen. Small plants
y mail, 20 cts. each.

Red Jacket. As large as the largest. Berry smooth ; very pro-
lific and hardy; quality and foliage the best. For 7 years it has
stood close to Triumph, Crown Bob, White Smith, Smith’s Im-
proved, Downing, and a dozen other (English) sorts; and while all
these have mildewed more or less in leaf and fruit, mildew has
never yet appeared on Red Jacket. We need this Gooseberry,
which can be grown in our own country, to take the place of sorts

, which mildew so much that neither plants nor fruit can be grown,
except in a very few localities in America. 1 year, No. I, 20 cts.

country and Europe. Wehave fruited the Industry foryears. It is
certainly the largest Gooseberry on the market and also one of the
very best. 1 year, No. 1, Io cts. each, $1 per dozen, $7 per 100; 2 KEEPSAKE.

type, and is claimed to be superior to Industry, being
of a brighter and clearer red, almost smooth and very

| large. The bushes are productive, not inclined to mil-

dew, and strong growing. One of the best dessert ber-
ries, first-class in quality. I year, 20 cts. each, $2 per

Chautauqua. A supposed cross between the American
and English varieties. Is notsosubject to mildew as the
English type. Bush stout and vigorous, having the
usual complement of thorns; foliage large, glossy,
dark green. Berries large, often 1 to 134 inches long;
color pale yellow; sweet, but rather thin skinned.

Hardy Grapes.

CULTURE.—It would be rather an undertaking to describe the full method of Grape-cuiture, as it is
very extensive, but we will give it brief mention. The soil should be prepared as for other small fruits ; make
the rows eight feet apart and plant six feet in the row, or if ground is very rich, make it eight feet. The holes
should be about one foot square so as to allow plenty of room for the roots; put some good soil in the bot- *
tom, or wet corn-cobsif at hand, and usea little ground bone. When the vines arrive from the nursery, cut
both the roots and the top; two eyes are sufficient, and on two-year-olds, from four to five eyes. After you
have trimmed the roots and spread them out in the hole, the vine should be set at one side, and soil well firmed
with the feet. Set asmalilstake by the side soastomark the vine. Thesecond or third year they should be
staked and wired ; two or three wires should be used. Keep the old wood as near the ground as possible, for
the nearer it is the sweeter the fruit will be. Keep the vine open so that the air can pass through to prevent
rot and mildew.

NOTE.—Price for Grapes given in table on page 25. For large lots, write us for special prices.

NEW VARIETIES.

EARLY OHIO. This is the most valuable black Grape now on the market ; it ripens ten days before Moore’s
Early ; not quite so large, but
bunches are much larger, and
packed very closely. Berries are
jet black, with heavy bloom.
The originator speaks of it as
follows: ‘‘Inthesummer of’82I
found, between a row of Dela-
ware and Concord,a small Grape
vine which had just started the
third leaf. I took it up,reset it
and gave it ordinary care. The
third year from the seed it set
thirty (30) clusters; I removed
ten, allowing the rest to ripen,
and to my surprise they were
ripe thetwentieth day of August,
ten (10) days earlier than
Moore’s Early. It has borne
large crops every year since,
ripening in ’89 the 15thof Au-
gust, and always as early as the
20th of that month, a weekto ten
days earlier than Moore's Early,
under the same conditions and
on the same soil. The Early

Ohio never drops fromthe stem;

a merit highly appreciated by

shippers. I never saw a vine on

the trellisthat could equal it for
hardiness. In quality, it takes
the lead of all black Grapes up to
the ripening of the Worden.

‘‘T believe this Grape is des-

- tined to become one ofthe most

profitable market varieties ever

introduced, and especially: val-
ee oe i northern localities

. where later varieties will not

i tea ngtd ripen.’’ It should be in every

; collection.

VICTORIA. This is one of the best white Grapes ever introduced. A seedling of the Concord, it takes
after its parent for being hardy and productive. Vine avery strong grower, with large clusters which are
exceedingly handsome. Berry medium to large, moderately compact, with large shoulders, sometimes
double; skin firm, with a sweet, vinous pulp, and of good quality. Very free from mildew and rot. We

“ might call it a white Concord, as it possesses all the vigor and hardihood of this old popular variety.

\ Colerain. Experience does not make us change our opinion of it, but lack of space will allow buta short
notice. So far the verdict is ‘‘none better.’ Color green, with delicate white bloom ; flesh very juicy and
remarkably sweet, fairly vinous, one small seed to the berry as arule. Ripens with or a little before
Moore’s Early and hangs on the vine until frost without dropping berries from the bunch. Wherever
tested it has proved free from rot and mildew; a vigorous grower, and perfectly hardy.

Green Mountain. We quote fromthe introducer: ‘‘We donot believe there is an early Grape superior to
it in quality that bears younger, is more productive, or that is more desirable for an early Grape than this
one. It has not failed to produceor ripen a full crop in the three years we havetested it. The vine grows as
strong as the Concord, and will flourish in any soil where the Concord grows. It is especially well adapted

. to be grown in northern localities, where many valuable varieties fail.’’

bloom. Thestem pulls out white likethe Concord. Strongly resembles Moore’s Early. Very juicy, with
J some though tender pulp.’’ Early.

Moore’s Diamond. In vigor of growth, texture, foliage and hardiness of vine, it partakes of the nature of its
parent, Concord, while in quality the fruit is equal to many of the best tender sorts, and ripens two Or three
weeks earlier than Concord. The color is a delicate greenish white, with arich yellow tinge when fully
ripe ; very few seeds, juicy, and almost entirely free from pulp, which makes it almost transparent. Berry

Alice. This is a seedling of unknown parentage, and was discovered in Ulster county, New York. It attracted

attention by its fine quality and appearance, and
has been tested now Io years, and pronounced as
one of the coming Grapes. This variety is
especially valuable for its long keeping qualities;
it has kept in an ordinary cellar, without cold
storage, or special care, all winter. It isa pale
red Grape, thesize of Catawba, fruit of fine flavor,
high quality, pulp meaty and tender, with few
seeds, and small; skin tough, and a good shipper. /
Vine vigorous and strong, many branches grow- i
ing 12 feet; foliage healthy, large, thick, dark
green; free from mildew, and does not rot.
Clusters medium size, compact and shouldered;
ripeNs with Concord.

Mills. This valuable new Grape is across between
Muscat Hamburg and Creveling, originated by
Mr. William H. Mills, of Hamilton, Ontario.
Berry large, round, jet black, covered with a
thick bloom; flesh firm, meaty, juicy, breaking
with a rich, sprightly flavor; skin thick, bunch
large, compact, shouldered. Vine vigorous and
productive, with large, healthy foliage. Ripens
about\with Concord, or a little later.

Jewell.” ‘Bunch medium, often shouldered, com-
pact; berry medium, black, with a heavy fine
bloom, handsome ; skin thin, tough; pulp tender,
rich, spicy, sprightly and sweet to the center;
seeds few, very small; quality best, pure, equal
to the Delaware, and earlier. Vine vigorous,
hardy pnd very productive; never known to rot

or mildew.

Moyer. This new Grape originated in Canada,
and is across between the Delaware and some
purely native variety. In habit of growth,
hardiness, quality and size of cluster it resembles
the Delaware very much, but it ripens with the
very earliest, has larger berries; has been free
from rot and mildew, even where everything
around is mildewed. It has stood, unprotected,
35 degrees below zero without injury. It is very
sweet as soon as colored; skin, tough but thin ;
pulp tender, juicy, of delicious flavor and entirely

free from foxiuess ; altogether it is very desirable for general planting.

Woodruff Red. A large, handsome grape from
Michigan, said to be a seedling of Concord, but of
much stronger nativearoma. Its largesize of bunch
and berry makes it remarkably showy, and it is
therefore a profitable market sort. The vine is a

Moore’s Early. A handsome grape, very early;
resembling Concord, with smaller clusters, but
well packed and larger berries, ripening about
ten days earlier ; it is no better than Concord ex-
cept in this respect. Has been largely planted,

. and seems to give good satisfaction as an early
as market grape.

Niagara. This grape has been in the market for
the last four or five years, and is well enough
known now to need no help. I have noreason to
change my opinion of it. It is a vigorous grower
and very productive, when not exposed to the
severe cold of the extreme north. It is not af-
fected by mildew, and cannot fail to make a
profitable grape. When well grown and fully
ripened, it is a better flavored grape than the Con-
cord, but is somewhat foxy, and ripens about the

Ny same time as Concord.

Pocklington. Or “‘ Golden Pocklington ;’’ retains
its popularity, and will probably take its place as
a valuablestandard grape, being one of the largest
and most showy white grapes of the Concord type
yet introduced. It is a pure native, hardy in
vine and healthy in foliage, rather better flavored
and richer than Concord, though somewhat foxy,
and of the same general character as the Con-
NJ cord and its seedlings.

Prentiss. A moderate grower, bunch medium

ASPARAGUS.

Donald’s Elmira. This is a new variety which is attracting much
attention from all lovers of Asparagus. Itoriginated at Elmira, New
York state, hence itsname, It always realizes the best prices in the
market, and thesupply has never half equaled the demand. The deli-
cate green color is noticeably different from either the famous Barr’s
Philadelphia Mammoth, or Palmetto, while the stalks are moretender |
and succulent. Its mammoth size can be realized from the fact that
in whole crops a bunch of twelve stalks will average four pounds in
weight. It requires much less labor in cutting. and bunching, thus
lessening the expense of marketing. Strong roots, 1 year old, 75 cts.

CYDONIA JAPONICA (Columbia).
(Edible Japan Quince.)

This new edible fruit, which has been evolved from the common Japan Quince, the introducer describes as
follows:

“Japan Quince is widely known and extensively grown throughout the country as avery showy and
popular shrub, producing in profusion handsome

bloom upon the first approach of spring and before
the foliage appears, making a very striking effect.
‘* The fruit from this shrub has been so small as
to be of little value. By years of careful selection
and propagation, with the view of improving the
fruit, we have produced the Columbia, a variety
rivaling in size and shape the famous Belle Flower
Apple, measuring 9 to 12 inches around, greenish
yellow, with handsome blush, surface ribbed like
‘a citron and covered with small white dots. This
fruit is so very fragrant that one specimen will soon
filla room with a delightful perfume. It cooks as £
tender as an apple, and makes a jelly equaled only
by the highly prized Guava.
‘““The valuable culinary properties of the Japan
Quince are not generally known, though the enter-
prising proprietor of a large and fashionable sea-
side hotel, whose guests are enthusiastic in their
praise of this delicious, unknown jelly, has for
years engaged the entire crop in advance of its
ripening.
; ‘‘ The tree is entirely hardy, healthy, free from
blight, mildew and insect pests, enormously pro.
ductive, and comes to bearing very young. So that
in this beautiful fruit bearing shrub we have the
rare combination of a very handsome ornamental
plant and most valuable fruit.”’

ELEAGNUS LONGIPES.

ELEAGNUS LONGIPES.

This new and valuable acquisition, a native ofJapan,
is one of our most promising new fruits, and we highly
recommend it for more general planting. It is worthy
a placein both fruit and ornamental collections, as its
beautiful shape as a shrub, with its dark green foliage,
makes it a very conspicuous sight, especially when
loaded with its fruit; itis also very attractive when in
bloom in May, the flowers being a beautiful lemon-
yellow color. The bush begins to bear attwo years
old, and the fruit is very highly prized by those who
have fruited it, for its peculiar piquancy, mak-
ing a very delicious sauce, and considered much
superior tothe cranberry. It is about the size
of an ordinary cherry, but more oval, and is
borne in large clusters in great profusion. The
bush is very hardy and free from insects and
disease, and grows to the height of about six feet.
It is seldom we have to offer a plant which
combines valuable fruiting qualifications with
so ornamental acharacter. The plant will be
prized as among the many good things which
have come from Japan. 15c. each, $1.50 per doz.

A NEW HARDY ORANGE.

(Citrus Trifoliata.)

This is the most hardy ofthe orange family,
and will stand our northern climate with little
or no protection, and is also desirable for pot
culture. In the parks of both New York and
Philadelphia it is growing luxuriantly, and
blooming and fruiting profusely. You can have
an orange tree growing, blooming and fruiting
on your lawn or yard. It is a dwarf, of low,
symmetrical growth, with beautiful trifoliate,
glossy green leaves, and abundance of large,
white, sweet-scented blossoms, larger and finer
than any other variety of orange blossoms, and
borne almost continually. The fruit is small,
bright orange-red in color, having a peculiar
flavor; of no value for eating, though it may
prove useful in making a lemonade, as the fruit
isas acidasalime. Thefine appearance ofthe
plant, with its constant habit of blooming and
showy fruit, combine to make a plant of peculiar
valueand beauty. It is a conspicuous and at-
tractive object in any shrubbery or pleasure
ground, pot or tub, and is best suited for open
ground culture, as it is deciduous and drops its
leaves in the fall, though it will not do so if
kept from frost. 15 cents each, $1.50 per dozen.

DWARF JUNEBERRY.

Improved Dwarf Juneberry. A good substitute

for the large or swamp huckleberry or whortleberry,
which it resembles in appearance and quality. The
fruitis borne in clusters, and is reddish purple in
color, changing to a bluish black. In flavor itisa
mild, rich subacid; excellent as a dessert fruit or
canned. The bushes are extremely hardy, enduring
the cold of the far north and the heat of summer with-
out injury. When this fruit becomes better known
to the publicit will be very popular. They are much
larger and better-flavored than the wild Juneberries.

Fruit TREEs. Reid:

SPECIAL NOTICE.—We call your special attention to our line of nursery stock. Many of you, no doubt,
know how often the people are robbed and ‘humbugged by agents, who call upon you, saying they represent a
certain firm, when they do not; they buy their stock wherever they can buy the lowest, and charge you double |
rates for stock which is nothing but culls and common varieties. We have placed our rates as low as any firm
which has a reputation at stake, and we will protect the grower and give him just what he buys. .

PREPARATIONS FOR PLANTING.

Plow and subsoil repeatedly, so as to pulverize thoroughly to a depth of 12 to 18 inches. When planting on
the lawn or grass plots, remove the sod for a diameter of four to five feet, and keep this space well worked and
free from weeds. Dig the hole deeper and larger than is necessary to admit all the roots in their natural posi-
tion, keeping the surface and subsoil separate. Cut off broken and bruised roots and shorten thc tops to half a
dozen good buds, except for fall planting, when it is better to defer top-pruning until the following spring. If
not prepared to plant when your stock arrives, ‘‘heel-in,’’ by digging a trench deep enough to admit all the ©
roots and setting the trees therein as they can stand, carefully packing the earth about the roots, taking up
when required, Never leave the roots exposed to the sun and air, and ‘‘ puddle’’ before planting.

PLANTING.

Fill up the hole with surface soil, so that the tree will stand about as it did in the nursery after the Garth was
settled, except Dwarf Pears, which should be planted deep enough to cover the Quince stock upon which they
are budded, two or three inches. Work the soil thoroughly among the roots, and when well covered tramp
firmly. Set the tree firm as a post, but leave the surface filling (of poorer soil) light and loose. No staking will
be required except for very tall trees. Never let manure come in contact with the roots.

Apples.

The first fruit, both in importance and general culture, isthe Apple. Its period, unlike that of other fruits,
extends nearly or quite through the year. By planting judicious selections of summer, autumn and winter
sorts, a constant succession of this indispensable fruit can be easily obtained for family use. There is no farm
crop which on the average will produce one-fourth as much income per acre as will a good Apple orchard.

STARR APPLE.

STARR. This valuable Apple, although never formally introduced to the public, has been fruiting sev-
eral years. Itis an accidental seedling. It has proved a very desirable, reliable and valuable market Apple,
and is now offered, after several years of thorough testing in comparison with other best early market Apples,
and it always brings 25 to 50 per cent. morein market, and sells readily at $1 per half bushel basket. Thetree is.
a good, healthy grower, comes to fruiting young, and is an abundant and annual bearer, though heavier on the
alternate year. The fruit is very large, 11 to 12 inches around. Showy, being a pale green color, frequently with
a handsome blush on sunny side; very early, being marketable first week in July, and will continue in good
condition until September, being an excellent shipper for so early an Apple; has carried to California in excel-
lent condition ; pleasant subacid, a very superior cooking and a good eating Apple. First class, $1 each, $10:
p oz.; medium, 75 cents each, $7.50 per doz.; mail size, 60 cents, postpaid.

ALTER PEASE. This is one of the best Apples we knowof. It much resembles the Baldwin in color
and productiveness. Size very large. The fruit is very showy and attractive, and as a table Apple, we think,
has nosuperior. Fruit nearly round; color a beautiful deep red on sunny side, with splashes and stripes of red
on yellow ground on other side; where fully exposed to sun, nearly all red. Ripens in September, October and
November; has been kept until past midwinter. Core very small; flesh white, very fine-grained ; quality
best, mild, juicy, slightly subacid, with a rich, sweet, aromatic flavor. Tree very productive, fruiting and
loading heavily; strong and vigorous grower. A delicious table Apple for either market or home use. First

lass, 50 cents each, $5 per doz.

OWNING’S WINTER MAIDEN BUUSH. This fine Apple was produced from seed of the Fall
Maiden Blush, by Jason Downing, in Darke county, Ohio, in the spring of 1874. It made a vigorous growth,
and at the age of seven years it bore some excellent fruit, from which time it has produced fruit annually.
The originator states that in 1888, at the age of 14 years from seed, it yielded 15 bushels of picked Apples. We
have been noticing the behavior of this Apple for the past ten years, growing it in both nursery and orchard, and
from the weight of testimony inits favor, we have decided to grow it in quantities to supply the increased demand.
Fruit large, irregular, sometimes flattened, and at other times slightly elongated, inclining to conic; generally

-angular, skin light waxen yellow, with a bright red cheek in the sun; stock short, usually projecting half as
high as cavity, though in a few specimens it projects to its surface and beyond, inserted in a deep cavity, often
surrounded with russet ; calyx small, basin of moderate depth ; flesh yellowish, crisp, tender, juicy, with a very
pleasant, mild, subacid flavor. It has a very fragrant odor; quality very good. Season December to April-
Tree a good grower and bearer. 30 cents each, $3 per doz.; medium, 20 cents each, $2 per doz. See page 31.

Peaches.

The Peach tree requires a well-drained, moderately rich soil; a warm, sandy loam is probably best. To
preserve the continued healthy growth of the trees and the fine quality of the fruit, the trees should have the
shoots and branches shortened every year, so as to preserve around, vigorous head with plenty of young wood;
and the land should not be seeded to grass, but kept in constant cultivation in hoed crops.

Unleached wood ashes and pure ground bone are the best fertilizers.

LORENTZ PEACHES. “Photographed fromthe fruit; half natural size.

\V
LORENTZ.

A seedling discovered in Marshall Co., W. Va., and which we carefully watched several years before decid-
ing to offer to the public. Weare now mote than ever convinced that this is something better than has ever been
offered for a Peach so late in the season. We have never known it to fail a crop in the most adverse seasons,
and believeit as near frost-proof as any variety yet introduced. It bears crops when others fail entirely, Fruit
is unusually large and of a superior flavor, especially for One so late in the season. Itis a freestone, yellow-
fleshed, and its handsome appearance has been asurprise to all who have seen it. It bears enormously, one
foot of wood cut for photographing having as many as 25 peaches on, and frequently requires thinning from over-
production. We feel confident this is the best late Peach ever introduced ; does not crack, is very firm, keeps
well, andis a fineshipper, at prices double those obtained for any other late Peach on the market. We have alarge
demand for the trees where known, and as the stock is somewhat limited, would advise patrons to order early.

Opinions from the Horticultural Press.

LORENTZ PEACH.—The specimens alluded to came to hand in good conditiow. The Peaches have a yellow skin, some of
them showing considerable red at the blossom end or ononecheek. The variety is of medium large size, a freestone, yellow-
fieshed, and of a quality equal toand excelling the average late Peach. Thesuture mark shows plainly on one side, and most
of them have the peculiar Melocotontip (Crawford). If it doesas well for others as for Mr. Reid, it should be a valuable addition
to the list. E. S. CARMAN, Editor Rural New- Yorker.

We have received from Mr. E. W. Reid, the well-known nurseryman of Bridgeport, O.,a basket of the Lorentz Peach. They
were sampled, and found to be all that was elaimed for them, so far as quality was concerned. When Reid says Peaches are
good, we are ready to believe it. AXTELL, RusH & Co.,

TRIUMPH.

This fine new early Peach originated in Georgia, and will meet the wants of a good many fruit-growers
for a good, yellow freestone, to take the place of Alexander. It blooms late, is a strong grower and a sure and
abundant bearer. Fruit of
large size, with a small pit;
surface is yellow, nearly cov-
ered with red and dark crim-
son inthesun. Flesh bright
yellow, aud of excellent fla-
vor. Several trees (two
years old) produced this sea-
son over half a bushel of fruit
each. From the following.
unsolicited testimonials, we
have confidence that we are
offering you a variety far
greater in value than any
early Peach known.

. THE CHAMPION PEACH.

The Champion originated at Nokomis, Ill., on the grounds of Mr. I. G. Hubbard. It has been carefully
tested during a series of years. The feature which first attracted attention to this new variety was the regu-
larity of its bearing, which, in a section not specially adapted to Peach-culture, indicated a quality which alone
gave it a place at the head of the list of profitable sorts for the orchardist. But the crowning event inthe history
of this great acquisition was the production of a fuil crop in 1890, when the Peach crop was a universal failure.
The scarcity caused the handsome, luscious fruit of the Champion to be regarded as almost anovelty. Cham-
pion stands at the head in other points, also, particularly size and quality. Many specimens have measured Io
inches in circumference. The flavor is delicious, sweet, rich and juicy, surpassing all other varieties. Skin
creamy white, with red cheek. Itis strikingly handsome inappearance. It ripensat place of origin, Nokomis,

“\/ CROSBY.

THE CONSTANT BEARING OF TREES OF THIS IRONCLAD PEACH FOR NINE YEARS, OFTEN WHEN ALL
OTHERS HAVE FAILED, has brought its hardiness and value into notice, and the demand for trees is enormous.

The fruit is of medium size, roundish, slightly flattened, bright orange yellow, splashed with streaks of
carmine on the sunny side, of beautiful appearance, and notso acid as most yellow Peaches of the Crawford
class. Itripens between Early and Late Crawford, and on account of its beautiful color, will commanda ready
sale. Jts fruit buds are so hardy as to withstand the frosts of winters and spring's that often kill all other good
varieties. A FINE YELLOW PEACH TO SUPPLY THE MARKET WHEN THERE ARE NO OTHERS. First-class,

“YS LEMON FREE.

This magnificent yellow Peach originated in Summit county, Ohio, and has proved itself to be hardier than
any other good Peach grown in that section, and by far the most profitable. The name is very appropriate, as it
is almost of lemon shape, being longer than broad, pointed at the apex ; color a pale yellow when ripe. It is of
large size, the finest specimens measuring over 12 inches in circumference; of excellent quality; ripens
after late Crawford ; is immensely productive, and will surely become a leading orchard variety.

Pears.

The Pear, like most other things highly desirable and valuable, cannot be had without attention, labor and
skill. The relative price of the apple and Pear being about as one to ten, show at the same time the superior
value of the latter, and the greater skill required to bring it to perfection. Summer Pears should be gathered
at least ten days before they are ripe, and autumn pears at least a fortnight. Winter varieties, if they will hang
so long, may be left until the leaves begin to fall.

DWARFS MUST ALWAYS be planted SUFFICIENTLY DEEP to cover the junction of the Pear and quince two or
three inches, the soil made rich and well tilled, and about one-half of the previous summer’s growth cut off each
spring. Under this treatment dwarfs are everywhere successful. The side branches should not be removed
higher than one foot from the ground in dwarfs, while standards may be trimmed to any height desired. Train
inpyramidalform. Gather when, on gently lifting the fruit, the stem will readily separate fromthe branch. Place
in a dark room until fully matured. Winter Pears may hang on the trees until danger of frost.

THE KOONCE PEAR,

\. ,KOONCE.

This fine and valuable early Pear is a chance seedling, found on an old farm in the State of Illinois. The
original tree was very old, and had borne many abundant crops. In the community where it originated it is
known as the leading early Pear. In fact, the only early Pear that has been asuccess. Tree is a very vigorous
grower, free from blight, hardy and productive; fruit medium to large; skin yellow, with a very handsome.
blush ; does not rot at the core, like many ofthe other early sorts. Ripens two weeks earlier than Harvest Belle.
In offering this to the public, we feel we are supplying a long felt want, and at a price which will bring it within
reach ofall. It will stand on its merits anywhere, and meets the needs of the progressive fruit grower for an
early market Pear, good in quality, beautiful in appearance and large insize. For fruit growers, both in the
north and south, this should prove very valuable. Its vigorous growth, with heavy foliage, should enable it to
endure a hot climate, while its late blooming, hardiness in bud, will insure for it abundant crops, despite the
frosts that so often killthe Kieffer and Le Conte. For the north, it is expressely suited to your needs. Itis so
hardy that it will stand the rigor of your winter, and being so early in season, will come into market before the
glut of southern Kieffers and Le Contes, and bring the highest price. Prices, first class, 75 cents each, $7.50
per dozen; medium, 50 cents each, $5 per dozen ; small size by mail, postpaid, 30 cents, $3.00 per dozen.

WILDER EARLY PEAR.

Another year has this noble variety yielded a fine crop of fruit, while other varieties have proved an entire
failure. For many years the Wilder Early
Pear has borne abundantly every year, never
missing a single season.

Each year we have sent the fruit hundreds
and thousands of miles by mail and express,
and all have remarked that its quality was of
a very superior grade.

‘*A specimen of the Wilder Early was
received on the 1st of August, and on the 7th,
a week later, it was found to be in good eating
condition. Itisreallyagood Pear. For very
early use it will be held in high esteem. ’’—
American Garden.

Another point made plainer than ever this
year is the great vigor of the Wilder. A block
of 10,000 trees here is a wonder
to behold, all stocky, straight and
well-shaped. This Pear is
worthy of the high testimonials
given it by notable pomologists.
We recommend itas the best early
Pear, having no competitor as the
earliest for market, and thuscom-
ing in when the largest prices can
be secured. First-class, 40 cts.
each, $4 per doz., $25 per 100;
second-class, 30 cts. each, $3 per
doz., $18 per 100; third-class,

from either cold or blight. The
growth is vigorous, the leaves free from blight ; an annual and abundant bearer. In quality the fruit approaches
nearer that most delicious of Pears, the Seckel, than any other Pear on the market ; it is full medium size, yel-
low, covered on the sunny side with bright carmine red, making it exceedingly attractive and handsome; flesh
melting, rich, juicy, aromatic. Ripening with and after Seckel, though much larger in size and more attractive
in appearance, it cannot fail to prove a general favorite and be very valuable. First-class, 40 cts. each, $4 per
doz. ; secondeclass, 30 cts. each, $3 ‘, doz. Mailing size, postpaid, 20 cts.

: LINCOLN CORELESS.

This wonderful and remarkable late winter Pear, so far as we are able to ascertain, is a chance seedling.
It originated in Lincoln county, Tennessee, near the Alabama line, and the original tree can be traced back for
sixty years, during which time it has seldom failed to bear. The original tree, though scarcely more thana
shell, has remained free from blight and annually borne fruit until last summer, when, overloaded with fruit
during the extreme dry weather, it died from sheer exhaustion. The young trees are good growers; wood
dark, foliage large, healthy, and entirely free from blight, leaf-rust or mildew. First-class, 75 cts. each, $7.50
per doz. Second-class, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz. Mailing size, postpaid, 40 cts.

'’ SENECA PEAR. (Seedling of Bartlett.)

A strong, vigorous, upright, hardy grower, retaining its foliage green and healthy very late in the season;
never has shown any blight, mildew or other disease; makes a very handsome tree. Bears young and abun-
dantly. Fruit a beautiful bright yellow, with brilliant red cheek ; large, rich, juicy, buttery, melting, sprightly,
vinous—of high flavor—very attractive in appearance, and of excellent quality. Much admired and highly
praised by all whoseeit. Ripens immediately after Bartlett, and commands the highest prices.

Realizing the high prices at which Bartletts sell a little after their season, and the advantage of a large,
handsome Pear of good quality ripening at that favorable time, we take pleasure in introducing the Seneca
Pear to lovers of rare and choice fruits, with every confidence of its cordial reception and general satisfaction
and profit tothe planter, First-class, 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz.; second-class, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz. Mail-

IDAHO PEAR.

This Pear has attracted much attention, and is of real value. It is much like Angouleme.

Size of fruit, from 4 to 4% inches in diameter; depressed at the stem: surface rough and uneven, yellow
or straw color, with a faint blush or brownish red on the sunny side; basin deep, flaring; very irregular or
ribbed, and thickly covered with fine brown dots; core very small, seeds few; flesh almost white, fine grained,
buttery, lacking the grit so.often found in Pears; flavor sweet to mild subacid, rich, aromatic, juicy ; quality
very good. Season, Sept.,in Idaho. Prices same as standard varieties.

JAPAN GOLDEN RUSSET.

This variety bears enormously every year, having no off years; its fruit hangs in great masses and clus-
ters, and should be thinned out; foliage thick and leathery, which enables the tree to endure drouth well, and
it bears where other varieties cannot exist; has never been affected by blight or insect enemies. Fruit hand-
some, flat or appleshape. Ripens in October. Price, 2 years, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.; second-class, 40 cts.
each, $4 per doz. Small trees by mail, 25 cts.

Plums.

The Plum, like the pear and other finer fruits, attain its greatest perfection on our heavy soil, being entirely
free from disease. The curculio, a small, dark brown beetle, often stings the fruit, causing it to drop off; but
the following directions, faithfully observed, will secure a good crop of this splendid fruit everywhere:

As soon as the blossoms are fallen, spread two sheets under the tree, and give the tree a sudden jar by
striking a smart blow with a hammer upon the stub of a limb sawed from the tree for the purpose ; the insects
will drop on the sheet, and can be killed. Collect all the fallen fruit and burn or feed toswine. Repeat the
operation every day for twoor three weeks. It should be done before sunrise.

*SARATOGA PLUM.

A few years ago our attention was called to the
Saratoga Plum, originating near Saratoga Springs,
the most fashionable resort in America. We saw the
trees growing. They were exceedingly vigorous, with
large handsome leaves, glossy and deep, bright green.
It is evidently a tree that will endure much rough
treatment (though such should never be given any
tree), and yet succeed nobly where others possessing
less vigor would utterly fail. The fruit is of immense
size, the largest Plum we have seen, of a bright red-
dish purple, covered with a rich bloom. It shape is
peculiar, not elongated, but roundish, and almost
pear-shaped. It will prove a good shipper beyond
doubt. Its large size, great beauty, fine quality and
productiveness have attracted great attention. Color
reddish purple, overspread with a handsome bloom.
In shape a cross between Lombard and Bradshaw.

QUINCES.

The Quince is attracting attention as a market fruit. Thetree is hardy and compact in growth, requires
little space, is productive, gives regular crops, and comes earlyinto bearing. The fruit is much sought after for
canning for winter use. It flourishes in any good garden soil, which should be kept mellow and well enriched.
Prune off all the dead and surplus branches, and thin out the fruit if bearing too freely. Do not neglect your
Quince trees ; it pays well to give them your attention.

‘’ MEECH’S PROLIFIC QUINCE.

This valuable new Quince has awakened great interest throughout the country. It often attairs a grewth
of four feet or more the first year from the cuttings, continuing to makea like vigorous growth as the trees

only two years old, and afterwards abundantly; the quality is extra good. It is shaped like a handsome pear,

: with a smooth, fine skin of a bright orange-yellow, and very large, averaging,
under good ordinary culture, 12 to 15 ounces each. It is undoubtedly at the head
of allthe varieties to-day. First-class, 3 to 4 feet, 2 years, 35 cts. each, $3.50 per

CUSTARD APPLE, or NORTHERN
BANANA.

PAW-PAW TREE (Asimina Triloba).

This is a small tree, indigenous to the middle and southern
states from western New York to southern Michigan, and south-
ward to middle Florida and eastern Texas, but rare near the
Atlantic coast.. It attains its greatest development in the Missis-
sippi Valley, andespecially along the tributaries ofthe lower Ohio
River. Although it ishardy around New York, itis only precari-
ously hardy north of there. The Paw-paw tree belongs to the NEW AMERICAN MULBERRY.
custard apple family of plants, and is the only arborescent
species of the genus belonging to this country; two or three other species, only low shrubs, also occur in the
southern states, but are not hardy in the north.

As a lawn tree the Paw-paw is well worth growing for its shapely form and ample, abundant and fine foliage,
as well as for its fruit. First-class, 35 cts. each, $3 per doz. ; second-class, 30 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.

Nuts AND Nut TREEs.

Plant Nut Trees instead of the Nuts.

Until recently Nut Trees have been but little grown in nurseries, and in consequence all transplanted trees
have come from the forest or where they have come up and grown naturally. Having but few or no fibrous
roots, their transplanting has been attended with much uncertainty, and the impression has been formed that
they could not be transplanted, but that to insure success the seed must be planted where the tree is intended
to stand. This is erroneous, and has deterred many from engaging in this profitable industry. Many of the
nut-bearing trees, when grown in nurseries, are well supplied with fibrous routs, and can be transplanted as
safely asan appletree. Thus the planter has the benefit of the three or four years’ growth in the nursery over
the method of planting the seed, with the uncertainty of their coming up regularly, to say nothing of the time,
care and attention required to get them properly started. We therefore advise our customers always to plant
the trees, if they can be had, and save three or four years’ time.

Nut culture is an industry that until recently has received but little attention. The large returns of $25 to
$50 from individual trees, and the immense profits from established orchards, have stimulated the interest, and
our foremost enterprising fruit-growers are planting NUT TREES largely for market purposes; and others who
enjoy the nuts during winter are realizing that in order to have an abundant supply it is only necessary to plant
the trees, as hardy varieties are now grown that succeed in all sections of the United States.

Japanese. (Sieboldi.) This species is found grow-
ing wild in the mountains of northern Japan, and
is without doubt as hardy asan oak. The leaves
are of immense size, and of a charming shade of
green. The nuts, which are produced in extreme
abundance, grow in clusters of 15 or 20; have a
shell thicker than the English walnut, but not so
thick as the black walnut. The meat is sweet; of
the very best quality; flavor like butternut, but
less oily, and much superior. The trees grow
with great vigor, assuming a very handsome form,

To our taste, no other nut that grows, either for-

a peculiar rich, nutty flavor, excelled bynone. The
tree is of sturdy, lofty growth. The wood, on account
of its great strength and elasticity, is highly prized for
making agricultural implements, 40 cents each, $4

rich flowers of many sorts contrast beautifully
with the somber foliage of others.

RHODODENDRONS. These, wherever
known, are universally acknowledged to be
the most showy, magnificently hardy ever-
greenshrubsthatgrow. They thrivein any
good soil, andin the full blaze ofthesun, but
more luxuriantly in a good, well-prepared
soil of leaf-mold or leaf-mold and muck and
peat mixed, and in partial shade.

Their broad, thick, evergreen foliage, with
its glossy richness, would alone entitle
Rhododendrons to a foremost place in the
rank of evergreen shrubs, but when in June
this mass of luxuriant foliage is almost hid-
den by a magnificent array of beautiful
flower-clusters, each one large enough for a
bouquet, the shrubs are simply grand.

A protection of leaves and brush during
the first winter will be beneficial. The
plants we offer are strong and bushy, 15 to
24 inches high. Most of them will set with
flower-buds, and are too large to be sent by
mail; must be ordered by express.

YUCCA FILAMBNTOSA.

GLADIOLUS.

The gladiolus stands at the head of all our summer-flowere
ing bulbs. It grows well in any good, well-drained soil, if
given full sunlight, and needs little care beyond keeping
down weeds about it and supporting its rich spikes of flowers.
At the north bulbs must be dug, dried and stored in some
warm, dry place after frost, for wintering over; at the south
they are simply covered with a heavy mulch of leaves or
fertilizer. By planting at intervals from May1 to June 15 a
succession of flowers can be had from July to October. Our
unnamed seedlings are unusually fine, and comprise every
shade of color, from creamy white through different shades of
pink and scarlet to bright crimson. Assorted, 5 cts. each,
50 cts. per dozen.

be planted at intervals as late as August. For flowering in

CULTURE.—Inselecting a spot for a Rose-
bed, do not choose one that is shaded by trees
or buildings, as the Rose delights in an open,
airy situation, and plenty of sunshine. Roses

are partial to clay-loam, but do well in any ordinary soil
if well enriched with well-rotted barnyard manure. Dig the
: bed up thoroughly to the depth of 12 to 15 inches, as Rose-roots
QR penetrate deep when they have a chance.

ROSES OF SPECIAL MERIT.

Dozen rates are ten times the price of single rates,

CRIMSON RAMBLER. This Rose is unquestionably an acquisition, a novelty of high order, and most distinct
inits characteristics. Itis a running or climbing Rose of vigorous habit, strong and rapid growth, with hand-
some shining foliage, and produces, in marvelous abundance, clusters of the brightest crimson semi-double
Roses. Its clustered form, its brilliancy, the abundance of its bloom, and the great length of time the
flowers remain on the plant without falling or losing their brilliancy, are qualities which will make this new
claimant for admiration an assured favorite. For verandas, walls, pillars, and fences, it is a most suitable
plant. If grown in beds and pegged down, it produces
marvelous heads of bloom, orit can be grown in bush form
and thus become a most-striking object. We planted this
Rose outdoors last fall, along with Hybrid Perpetuals and
other hardy Roses, and the plants have come through the
unusually severe winter even better than many of the
hardy varieties, remaining fresh and green to the very tips.
But it is not only for outdoor use that it is
valuable; it can also be empioyed most
satisfactorily for decorating indoors when
grown in pots. We have had plants in
flower in our houses, and have exhibited
them in bloom; wherever shown they have
not failed to excite admiration. We are
satisfied that this is the greatest Rose nov-
elty of recent years, and no one who has a
garden should fail to get one. We Offer

Excelsior Spraying Outfits.

In accordance with a desire from our many patrons, who want a good Spraying Outfit, we Fave made
arrangements to offer the following machines, which we think are best adapted for general purposes. We
guarantee them just as represented; or they can be returned and money refunded. Having used them our-
selves, we have no hesitation in saying that they have proved entirely successful with us. They are simple
in construction, and any one can operate them. Spraying has become a necessity for all fruit growers who
want perfect fruit. Full instructions for spraying all varieties of trees, vines or plants will accompany each
outfit.

Knapsack Sprayer.

Especially adapted to prevent rot, mildew and other diseases in vineyards; potato lea blight and rot
leaf blight and rust in strawberries, raspberries and blackberries; for the
extermination of insects affecting tobacco, cabbage, melons, cucumber vines,
currants, gooseberries, etc.; also, should be used as a preventive of leaf
blight in nurseries.

This machine consists of a copper reservoir holding about five gallons. The
pump is made entirely of brass and copper and can neither rust nor corrode,
There is a large air chamber inside the
reservoir, which keeps up the pressure,
and continues to discharge the spray for
nearly one minute after the operator
stops pumping. A brass pipe 15 inches
in length, with a stop-cock, is furnished
with each machine, including the cele-
brated Vermoral Nozzle, so highly rec- £
ommended by the Department of Agri- #/
culture and leading entomologists in all &
parts of the United States. This nozzle
brings the liquid out in shape of a fine,
mist-like spray.

This machine is carried on the back
ofa man, knapsack fashion. From five
to six acres a day can be sprayed with it.
This sprayer is guaranteed to do satis-
factory work, or money will be refunded.

PRICE COMPLETE, $12.

Hand Sprayer.

For a good, cheap outfit, this is un-
questionably the best on the market,
both as regards the material used in the construction as well as the price at which it is sold. The
cylinder, and in fact all the working parts are brass, being thus constructed of material that will resist

the action of fungicides. The nozzle furnished with this outfit can be regulated to throw any desired
« spray as wanted. For spraying it is arranged so it dischargesa fine jet at bottom
of the bucket to keep the solution thoroughly mixed and agitated, a feature peculiar to
this pump. It is provided with a large air chamber, and has
a valve at the bottom, between the cylinder and the air cham-
ber, whereby the pressure is held uniformly in the air chamber
and on the hose, so that the nozzle throws a constant, continuous,
even spray allthe time, and is not affected by the movements of
the plunger, and the operator is enabled to keep a constant pres-
sure of from 50 to too pounds on the nozzle, with very ordinary
exertion.

This pump will throw a solid stream 50 feet, and is with-
out doubt the best cheap spraying outfit on the market. It is also very
convenient for spraying flowers, roses, etc.

PRICE COMPLETE, $4.50.

Barrel Sprayer.

It supplies the spraying nozzle, and keeps the fluid stirred up in the bar-
rel, One hundred trees per hour can be sprayed with this outfit

This pump is fitted with eight feet of hose and the Improved Excelsior
Orchard Nozzle. Three feet of return hose is attached, with which is con-
nected a discharge pipe, so that at every stroke of the pumpasmall part of
the liquid is re-discharged into the barrei near the bottom of the suction
pipe, which keeps the poison and water well mixed, which is very essential,
so aS not to burn the foilage. This outfit is also furnished with a fine
strainer at the bottom of the suction pipe, which effectually prevents leaves
or dirt from getting into ppmpor nozzles. I recommend the above outfit as
especially adapted for orchard use.

PRICE COMPLETE, WITHOUT BARREL, S10.
