for their patronage, and also solicit orders from
those who have never dealt with us.

tomers who favor us with their orders as we have
our old ones.

OUR LOCATION.—We are located at Moscow,
Clermont county, Ohio, on the beautiful Ohio Riv-
er, just 28 miles from Cincinnati. We can ship
either by boat or rail. We have here 140 acres of
this rich, sandy and clay bottom land that will
grow trees and plants with tops and roots that

cannot be surpassed. This land cost us over $100.00
per acre and is well adapted for growing thrifty,
healthy and clean stock. Besides this we have some
land leased that we grow stock on. We grow annu-
ally about 200,000 fruit trees, besides all small fruit
plants and roots.

Our trees are all grafted or budded on whole root-
ed seedlings, the best that are grown, and no small,
: puny seedlings do we use either, but the best only.
Our scions and buds are all cut from bearing trees

: so our stock is strictly true to name. An important
factor this is. Also clean stock free from disease of any kind. See Certificate of
inspection. Our stock is all fumigated before sent out.

‘OUR REFERENCES.—Bank of Moscow and all the merchants and business
men here; First National Bank, New Richmond, Ohio; the leading seedsmen and
commission merchants of Cincinnati, Ohio.

we are not liable for more than cost of said trees ; trees or plants will be re-
placed free of original cost of same.

oxes.

if ground is in condition. If frozen on receipt of same place in cool cellar
for a few days before unpacking. Then heel in well, or plant. If handled in
this manner you need not lose any stock.

ORDER EARLY.—Orders are filled as received—first come, first served. Also
state, if sold out on varieties, whether we can substitute equally as good. Some-
times we can give you better varieties than ordered. When permitted to sub-
stitute we always do something that we know to be good and as near in ri-
pening, color of fruit, ete., as such ordered. When ordering, write your name.
post office, county and state very plainly. Also state how stock shall be shipped,
by freight or express. It pays best to have small orders sent by express always.

earefully. It is our object to please our customers in every particular.

Our success depends on your being fully satisfied in dealing with us, and
our ability to satisfy you depends largely upon your careful compliance with
above simple rules.

makes it particularly desirable is, it is excessively hardy and can be safely plant-
ed in the most severe climate. It is also productive and bears at an early age.
Two year trees bore in the nursery rows on our grounds, and orchard trees bear
abundantly every season. On account of earliness, size, beauty, quality, hardi-
ness, productiveness and early bearing, it is one of the most desirable early ap-
ples. Dr. Hoskins says:: ‘“‘Not only for the north, but southward it is becoming

Special Varieties.

Special Varieties of Apples and Crab Apple trees, 5¢ higher than regular list.

BISMARCK.—In respect to its early
fruiting habit the most remarkable apple
ever introduced; one year grafts frequent-
ly produce fruit and two year trees seldom
fail. Has fruited in many sections of the
United States this season; we hear only
words of commendation. Originated in
New Zealand: has been’ tested in nearly
every apple growing country and promises
to succeed wherever apples can be grown;
proving healthy, hardy, productive, and
without a rival in its early fruiting quality.
Tree of short, stocky growth, thick, heal-
thy foliage; makes beautiful specimens
grown in pots for decorative purposes. Fruit
large, handsome, yellow, sometimes shaded
red cheek; flesh tender, pleasant, sub-acid.
good for dessert, superior for cooking; will
keep well into winter.

WINTER BANANA APPLE.—A decided
novelty of very great value. Bears at two
years’ old. Better in quality than the fa-
mous Swaar, which makes it easily the best
of all apples on earth in quality. In Feb-
ruary they have the appearance of burnish-
ed gold, tinted with red. Uniform in size,
color and quality.

The name is most appropriate as it has
a delightful banana perfume. Fruit keeps
well till spring; the color is a striking
red blush on a deep yellow ground. It is of
large size and very showy in appearance,
roundish, inclining to conical, stalk three-
fourths of an inch long, cavity moderate,
apex shallow. Originated in Indiana. Our
stock came direct from the _ originator.
Both grafts and three-year old trees of
this grand apple produced abundantly the
past season. We are much pleased with it.
It is a splendid grower.

OPALESCENT.—Probably the handsom-
est apple ever put on the market. Color
light, shading to very dark crimson with
many yellow dots; skin smooth, susceptible
of a very high polish reflecting objects like
a mirror; flesh yellowish, tender juicy and
good. The original tree has never failed~
to produce from a moderate to a full crop.
It is not only a beauty, but all right for Bismarck Apple.
Size, quality and productiveness, qualities
rarely combined in one variety. Season December to March.

PEACHES

The-neach is a gener-
al favorite: both on ac-
count if its eating and
canning qualities and
from the fact. that it
yields the largest and
quickest returns to the
grower of any of the tree
fruits. Owing to the in-
troduction during the
last few years of the
newer “iron clad’ varie-
ties, peaches are now
successfully grown over
a wide area of the United
States.

Prices for trees one year old from bud.

First Class—4 to 5 ft.,10e each: $1.00 per doz.; $8.00 per 100.

Medium trees, first class—3 to 4 ft., 8c each; 80c per doz.; $6.00 per 100.
Second class—2 to 3 ft., 5e each; $4.00 per 100.

pers Ripe July 5: tor20:

TRIUMPH PEACH.—This is the earliest peach in the world, and, most re-
markable of all, a free-stone variety. Up to this time all early peaches have
been clingstones, and the hope of fruit growers has been that a new variety
might be discovered which was early and parted freely from the pit. This
seems to have been secured in the Triumph. Mr. P. J. Berckman, president of
American Pomological Society, seems to have great confidence in this peach.

AMSDEN’S JUNE.—Much like Alexander. Medium size, highly colored skin,
and white flesh. Freestone. One of the earliest.

FOSTER.—A good hardy Northern peach, very large and round, resembling
Early Crawford, ripening about the same time. Yellow freestone.

universal cultivation as table and market sort. Latter part of September.

peach growers. Originated in Georgia, and is being planted most largely in the
South. where it is regarded as the best market variety. -Fruit large, yellow,
with red cheek; flesh yellow, firm, juicy, fine quality. Tree very hardy and ex-
ceedinglv productive. It is equally valuable in the North and is one of the best
general sorts for all sections. Ripens with Crawford’s Early. This variety has
become very popular in Michigan and Ohio. Exceptionally large and fine.

EARLY RIVERS.—Fruit large, very white, with a delicate pink cheek, flesh
melting, rich and luscious. An excellent peach. End of July.

respect. The skin, however, seems to be more highly colored, and hence the fruit,
is more showy. July.

size, quality and color. In Canada and Michigan has proven one of the hardiest.
Fruit large, brilliant color, bright yellow, suffused with red; small pit; flesh
deep yellow, best quality.

“Among new varieties Fitzgerald is perhaps the most promising. It is of the
Early Crawford type, and apparently an improvement on that old favorite. The
fruit buds are more hardy and the young trees will begin to bear the second
year from planting. The fruit is large; skin bright yellow, suffused with red:
flesh deep yellow and of the best quality; stone not as large as in Crawford.”
Last of August.

CHAMPION.— Many specimens measure ten inches in circumference. Flavor
delicious, Sweet, rich, juicy; creamy white skin, with red cheek, very handsome.
Hardy, prolific, a good shipper.

fore Troth’s Early; skin orange yellow, with deep red cheek, flesh juicy, sweet

PLUMS.

The plum tree like the pear and other finer fruits, attains its greatest perfec-
tion on our heavy soil, being entirely free from disease. Plums are hardy and
grow vigorously in nearly all sections, succeeding best on heavy soil or in soils
in which there is a mixture of clay. There is no difficulty in protecting the
crop of plums from the attacks of the curculio, by giving it a little extra care
This should be done as follows: Immediately after the trees have done blossom-
ing, and when the fruit is in its first stages of growth, make the ground clean
and smooth under each tree, and spread a Sheet upon it, so that it will extend
as far as the outer branches and then suddenly jar the tree, so as to shake down
all the stung fruits and insects, which should be destroyed. If this operation be
carried on daily for a short.time, it will insure a full crop of this delicious fruit,
_ and will repay the little daily attention given it. It is very important that this
should be done early in the morning.

First Class Trees—2 years old—5 to 6 ft., 40ce each; $4.50 per doz.
Medium—4 to 5 ft., 30c each; $3.25 per doz.

rieties, never crumbles, and stands
up well for shipping. Sample crates
have been shipped to distant points
with entire satisfaction. It is a ber-
ry to grow for either home use or
maket. The originator has found it
the most profitable berry ever raised
for market, and has never yet been
able to supply the local demand. So
much of a favorite has the Haymaker
become that local growers have said
that it ruined the sale of other va-
rieties. $2.00 per 100.

MILLER RED RASPBERRY.

Haymaker. ous grower, not quite so tall as the

Cuthbert, rather more stocky and

tractive color. $1.00 per doz.: $6.00 per 100.
