HOW OUR STOCK IS PROPAGATED. 


Apples, Pears, Plums and Cherries.—Our one idea in propagating stock is to solve the 
question ‘* how can we grow the healthiest and hardiest stock? ’’ and not ‘‘how can we grow 
the cheapest? ’’ By the process known as ‘‘root grafting’’ we could grow apple trees at much 
less cost than by budding, and fora time make a larger profit on them. If we sell to a man 
a second time we must please him the first time, and this we cannot do with root grafted stock 
as ordinarily done on piece roots. 

We make this exception, however, to the rigid rule of Nurserymen of less experience, 
namely a few and only a few varieties make just as strong roots and as straight, thrifty and in > 
every way desirable trees by grafting on whole roots, (not on piece roots) as by budding. 
Over forty years’ experience and observation confirms this fact to us. 

Root grafting is done as follows: Apple and pear seedlings of one year’s growthare dug 
in the falland packed in sand. In the winter, the tops are cut off and the roots cut into small 
pieces about three or four inches long. A small piece of twig calleda 
‘¢scion,’’ taken from a tree of the variety desired to be propagated, is 
grafted, by a series of cuts on oneof these small pieces of root. The 
wounds are then tied up with a string, and the grafts packed in sand 
ready to plant the next spring in nursery rows. 

The budding process is as follows: Large one-year seedlings are used, 
those which fail to reach the size of one-fourth to seven-sixteenths of an 
inch in diameter the first year, are transplanted and grown the second year. 
The seedlings are dug in the fall, packed in sand in the cellar, and early in 
the spring set out in rows in the nursery. Having strong roots and all of 
them, they make a good growth by midsummer, when they are ‘‘budded.”’ 
This is done by cutting a perpendicular slit in the bark on the north side 
of the seedling (so that the bud is shaded by the seedling itself, ):a cross 
slit is made at the top of tbe perpendicular cut, and the lower corners of 
bark carefully peeled back from the wood. Then the leaf bad, cut from 
the same season’s growth or the variety desired to be propagated, is removed 
with both the bark and a thin slice of wood attached (Fig. 1, a), and slipped 
down into the cut on the seedling (Fig. 1, b), and the incision bound around 
with cotton twine (Fig. 2), so as to exclude air and water, until the bark of the 
‘*bud’”’ has joined with the bark and wood of the seedling. The tie is then 
cut cff, and the bud remains dormant until the following year, while the root 
continues growing. The following year the seedling is cut back to three or 
four inches above the bud (at a, Fig. 3), and all sprouts taken off and kept off, 
so as to throw all the strength into the ‘‘bud’’ which is to become the future 
tree. 

The difference between root-grafts and budded stock will be apparent to 
anyone. The grafts have a root only one year old, it is usually taken from a 
smaller and weaker seedling, and has only a piece of root afterall. But the bud is inserted 
in a selected seedling either one or two years old, the entire root being retained, and as the bud 
is dormant the first year, the root gains another season’s growth so that before the stem of the 
future tree begins to grow the root is two or three years old, firmly established, and prepared to 


4 The Woodburn Nurseries 


throw the bud into a straight growth of four or five feet the first season, so that it can be 
‘‘headed,’’ namely, the top cut off about three and one-half or four and one-half feet from the 
ground, so that it can throw out branches the second year and make a ‘‘head,’’ instead of 
spindling up into a mere whip. 

The root of the budded stock has a big start and keeps it, so that when 
called upon to support the bud, it pushes it right along, and at the end of two 
or three years you have a perfect, smooth, symmetrical tree, with a fine root. 
It is not our aim to furnish a tree with a big stem, but with many roots. In 
buying trees you are not buying them for the amount of cord wood they will 
make. Westart the tree for you, but you must develope it, with budded trees 
you have roots furnished which will enable you ‘o do it. 

Not only do we exercise the greatest care in propagating and growing our 
trees, but we even import the greater part of our seedlings. All our pear and 
quince seedlings, and a great part of our apple, cherry and plum seedlings, we 
get from France. Our apple seedlings which are raised here, are raised from 
French crab seed, so that from the very seeds up to the perfect tree nothing 
is omitted which will help to produce a tough, hardy tree. The advantage 
in using the French seedlings is that they are almost entirely free from blight. 
The same care is exercised in growing our plums and cherries, as in growing 
our apples. Our cherries are budded on pure Mazzard and Mahaleb stock. 

We believe the above willsufficiently explain why our prices are above those 
dealers and small growers who go about hawking their inferior trees. If the difference in the 
quality of the tree grown by these men and those grown by scientific nurserymen is taken into 
account, the planter wouldnot be long in determining that the difference in cost between the two 
would but ill compensate him for wasting time and land in this cheap class of stock. Budded stock 
is not only longer lived, but it bears earlier and heavier crops than root grafted stock. 
Apples, Pears, Plums, Quinces, Cherries and Apricots, are shipped at the age of one to three 
years from the bud. 


HOW TO CARE FOR NURSERY STOCK WHEN RECEIVED. 


Soak the trees with water, and either place them in a cellar and keep wet, or bury them in 
a trench, until the holes arg ready for transplanting. If at all dry and shrivelled, the best plan 
is to bury them root and branch in wet earth. If frozen, they should be buried in earth until 
the frost is removed. 

Planting.—The broken or mutilated portions of the roots must be cut off, so as to leave 
the ends smooth and sound, and the ends of all the other roots should be pruned. From these 
ends the new fibrous roots usually start. The soil should be in as good condition as fora 
crop of corn. ' When planting upon the lawn or grass plots remove the sod to a diameter of 
four or 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 position, keeping the surface 
and subsoil separate. Cut off broken and bruised roots and shorten the tops to half a dozen 
good buds, except for fall planting, when it is better to defer top pruning until the following 
spring. Work the best soil thoroughly among the roots and pack it hard about them. A 
severe pruning of the head-of the newly set tree is absolutely necessary to make it correspond 
with the supply of new shoots that the shortened roots can give. See that they areall entirely 
free from any coarse manure, but inall parts packed in fine earth. Fill up the top of the hole 
with loose soil, so that the tree will stand about as in the nursery. A covering of coarse 
manure straw, marsh hay or loose chip dirt during the first season will effectually prevent 
injury from drouth and is a benefit at all times. If the trees are tall and much exposed to 
winds, a stake should be driven beside the tree, to which it should be tied in such manner as 


J. H. Settlemier & Son 5 


to avoid chafing. Afterwards keep the ground worked and free from weeds, till the trees bear 
at least. 

‘Heeling in’? stock received in the fall—The practice of procuring supplies of trees in 
the fall is becoming more and more general as each season demonstrates its wisdom. It is 
more favorable time than spring, because the stock has just entered into dormant condition 
and is in no danger of starting to grow while in transit. In most sections all hardy varieties 
may be planted in the fall. Peaches, however, at the north, will not bear fall planting. Even 
when fall planting is not desirable by reason of severity of the climate, the stock may be pro- 
cured in the fall and thus be on hand ready for the opportune moment in the spring. To 
insure success you have only to get the trees before freezing weather, and bury them in the 
following manner: choose a dry spot where no water will stand during the winter with no grass 
near it to invite mice. Dig a trench, throwing out enough dirt to admit one layer of roots 
below the surface, and place the trees in it, inclined at an angle of forty-five degrees or more. 
Widen the trench, throwing the soil among the roots in position, place another layer in the 
trench, reclining the tops on the others, and so on until all are inthe trench, then finish by 
throwing up more soil until the tips of the trees are nearly or quite covered. It is also well to 
bank up the earth around the sides to insure more thorough protection. The exposed tops 
should then be taken covered with pine boughs, which insures them against any possibility of 
injury. Care should be taken to fill solid all the interslices among the roots. Too much care 
in doing this cannot be insisted upon, as every root which is not in close contract with the soil 
is sure to be killed. In the spring the trees will be on hand for transplanting at the earliest 
moment possible to do the work. 

Pruning.—All fruit trees require more or less pruning from year to year. While the tree is 
young the head should be formed, and unnecessary branches be taken out so that they will 
leave small scars which will quickly heal over. The best time to prune is late in the winter or 
in early spring, when no more severe weather is anticipated, and when the trees will soon begin 
in the healing process.

NoTE.—A most excellent way in planting an apple orchard 30 feet apart is to plant peaches 
or small fruit between. By the time the apples require the ground the others will have passed 
their prime and can be removed.

RuLE.—Multiply the distance in feet between the rows by the distance the plants are 
apart in the rows and the product will be the number of square feet for each plant or hill, 
which divided into the number of feet in an acre (43,560), will give the number of plants or 
trees to the acre.

SPRAYING. 


The calendar shown on the following page was prepared by Prof. E. G. Lodeman, of 
Cornell University Agricultural Experimental Station. |The most important points regarding 
sprays have been selected and arranged in such a manner that the grower can see at a glance 
what to apply and when to make the applications. The more important insect and fungous 
enemies are also mentioned, so that a fairly clear understanding of the work can be obtained 
by examining the accompanying table. When making the applications advised, other enemies 
than those mentioned are also kept under control, for only the most serious ones could be 
named in so brief an outline. The directions given have been carefully compiled from‘ the 
latest results obtained by leading horticulturists and entomologists, and they may be followed 
with safety. 

Noticre.—In this calendar it will be seen that some applications are italicised and these 
are the ones which are most important. The number of applications given in each case has 
particular reference to localities in which the fungous and insect enemies are most abundant. 
If your crops are not troubled, when some applications are advised, it is unnecessary to make 
any. It should be remembered that im all cases success is dependent upon the exercise of 
proper judgment in making applications. Know the enemy to be destroyed, know the remedies 
that are most effective, and finally, apply them at the proper season. Be prompt, thorough 
and persistent. Knowledge and good judgment are more necessary to success than any defi- 
nite rules which can be laid down. 


FORMULAS. 


Bordeaux Mixture. Copper sulphate, 6 pounds ; quicklime, 4 pounds; water, 4o gallons. 
Dissolve the copper sulphate by putting it in a bag of coarse cloth and hanging this in a vessel 
holding at least 4 gallons, so that it is just covered by the water. Use an earthen or wooden 
vessel. Slake the lime in an equal amount of water. Then mix the two and add enough water 
to make 4o gallons. It isthen ready for immediate use. If the mixture is to be used on peach 
foliage it is advisable to add an extra pound of lime to the above formula. When applied to 
such plants as carnations or cabbages it will adhere better if about a pound of hard soap be 
dissolved in hot water and added to the mixture. For rots, mildews, and all fungous diseases. 


Ammoniacal Copper Carbonate. Copper carbonate, I ounce; ammonia (1 volume 26% 
Beaumé, 7-8 volume of water), enough to dissolve the copper: water, 9 gallons. The copper 
carbonate is best dissolved in large bottles where it will keep indefinitely, and it should be 
diluted with water as required. For the same purposes as Bordeaux mixture. 


Copper Sulphate Solution. Copper sulphate, 1 pound; water, 15 gallons. Dissolve the 
copper sulphate in the water, when itis ready for use. This should never be applied to foli- 
age, but must be used before the buds break. For peaches and nectarines use 25 gallons of 
water. For fungous diseases. 


Paris Green. Paris green, 1 pound; water, 200-300 gallons. If this mixture is to be used 
upon peach trees, 1 pound of quicklime should be added. Repeated applications will injure 
most foliage, unless lime is added. Paris green and Bordeaux mixture can be applied together 
with perfect safety. Use at the rate of four ounces of the arsenites to 50 gallons of the mixt- 
ure. The action of neither is weakened, and the Paris green loses all caustic properties. For 
insects which chew. 


London Purple. This is used in the same proportion as Paris green, but as it is more 
caustic it should be applied with two or three times its weight of lime, or with the Bordeaux 
mixture. The composition of London purple is exceedingly variable, and unless good reasons 
exist for supposing that it contains as much arsenic as Paris green, use the latter poison. Do 
not use London purple on peach or plum trees unless considerable lime is added. For insects 
which chew. 


Hellebore. Fresh white hellebore, 1 ounce ; water, 3 gallons. Apply when thoroughly 
mixed. This poison is not so energetic as the arsenites and may be used a short time before 
the sprayed portions mature. For insects which chew. 


Kerosene Emulsion. Hard soap, % pound; boiling water, 1 gallon; kerosene, 2 gallons. 
Dissolve the soap in the water, add the kerosene, and chur with a pump for 5—Io minutes. 
Dilute 10 or 25 times before applying. Use strong emulsion for all scale insects. Forinsects 
which suck, as plant lice, mealy bugs, red spider, thrips, bark-lice or scale. Cabbage worms, 
currants worms and all insects which have soft bodies, can also be successfully treated.

FRUIT DEPARTMENT 


APPLES. 


No other fruit occupies, in the north temperate zone, the commanding position of the 
apple. Its period of use extends nearly or quite through the year. Whether it be in size, 
form, or color, in flavor, sweet or sour, in infinite variety of shades, in crispness or tenderness, 
it will in some variety or other suit any taste. 

No other farm crop will on the average produce one-fourth as much income per acre as a 
good apple orchard. The fact that six or eight years must elapse before a newly planted 
orchard will begin to bear, deters many from planting. But as a matter of fact the land can be 
used a large part of the time for crops, and no great investment is required to plant at the rate 
of 30 to 50 trees to the acre. When once in bearing with little actual time spent upon it each 
year, it will be an unfailing source of cash income, if properly selected from varieties recom- 
mended in our list. 

Let no one be disappointed, if he misses from our list some names familiar to his child- 
hood, varieties which the glamour of years and the voracious appetite of youth causes to stand 
out in memory so delightfully. That memory is often a delusion. We still propagate only 
those varieties which, having stood the test of time, are at this day holding their own with the 
best. Some old varieties, after being eclipsed for years by fungous diseases which made them 
well-nigh worthless, are now again worth growing by the victory of science over those diseases. 

Many varieties of apples are known by different names in different sections, and are some- 
times called for by names not known outside of particular localities. | Fameuse, for instance, 
is called Snow by some people, and Fallawater, Tulpehocken, etc. 

Order nothing that you do not find in our list. If you wish some variety whose name you 
know locally, not given here, select the kind which has the same description, and you will 
make no mistake. 


Ironclads. This term is applied nowadays to a class of trees that are hardy. Most of 
them are of Russian origin, adapted by their tough leathery leaves and hardy constitution, 
to withstand the extremities of the most severe climate. They will stand long, hot, dry sum- 
mers, and extremely cold winters. Their parentage comes from lines long developed in 
the severe climate of the Russian plains. They are exceedingly fruitful, very early bearers, 
some of them, indeed, beginning to bear in the nursery row. 


Codling Moth. This lays in the calyx end of the apple, the egg which produces the apple 
worm. To prevent seepage 7. 

Apple Scab. Some varieties, like Yellow Newtown Pippin and Fall Pippin, are especially 
subject to this, which frequently destroys the crop. Spray with Bordeaux mixture. See 
Spray Calendar page 7. 

Distances for Planting. Vigorous growing varieties in strong soil, thirty feet apart. 
Moderate growing varieties, twenty-five feet apart. Size when ready for shipment three to six 
feet, one to two years old from the bud.

CRAB APPLES. 


All our cultivated sorts of apples came. originally from a species of crab which is found 
wild in most parts of Europe. There are several kinds of wild crab native to this country, but 
our fine cultivated varieties do not arise from these. Certain fine varieties of crab apples are 
exceedingly valuable for the making of jelly and cider or vinegar. Other varieties are not 
-suited to culinary purposes at all, but on account of their beautiful appearance, delicate texture 
and delicious flavor, are highly prized as dessert fruit. 

They are extremely hardy, have all the vigor of the original apple tree, and can be planted. 
in any kind of soil in the most exposed situation with perfect safety. They come into 
bearing very early, bear regularly and abundantly. The size of the fruit varies from one and 
one-half to two and one-half inches in diameter. 

One familiar with only the small Siberian crabs can have but a faint conception of the size, 
beauty and excellence of the new and improved varieties which have been introduced in recent 
years. 


General Grant—Fruit large, round, redto very dark red, flesh white, tender, mild sub-acid, 
excellent for dessert, and one of the best crabs introduced. Tree a vigorous and upright

its size, beauty and hardiness. Vigorous. October to January.

dent, but larger, a beautiful showy fruit and bears enormously. All things considered, 
we doubt if it has an equal among the crabs. Vigorous. September and October.

PEARS. 


This fruit may now be had in varieties, which will be in good eating condition from August 


until early spring. It is a very profitable fruit to grow and will especially reward good cultiva- 
tion and care. 


They should be gathered from ten days to two weeks before they are fully ripe, when, on 
gently lifting the fruit the stem will readily separate from the limb. Only the most perfect 
specimens should be marketed to insure the highest price, and they should be handled and 
packed with care to avoid bruising. They should be kept in a dark place until fully matured. 


Winter pears may hang on the trees until there is danger of frost, and then placed in a dry cel- 
lar to mature. 


The soil should be rich and well cultivated. A pear orchard should not be permitted to 
‘« go to grass.’’ They should be pruned every year.

CHERRIES: 


The Cherry thrives best on sandy soil, and there attains its highest perfection, but will do 
well in almost any situation except a wet one. It is one of the most ornamental of all fruit 
trees, which, with its delicious and refreshing fruit, makes it very desirable for planting near 
the dwelling, where beauty and shade, as well as fruit, are so desirable. 

We divide them into two classes (1) Hearts and Bigarreaus, (2) Dukes and Morellos. 
The former are strong and vigorous growers, making large, open, spreading heads, their fruit 
is large, heart shaped, meaty and sweet. The Dukes and Morellos do not attain so large size, 
but are more hardy and less liable to injury from bursting bark, their fruit is usually sour.

PEAC EES. 


The peach tree requires a well drained, moderately rich soil, warm sandy loam is probably 
thefbest. In order to preserve the continued healthy growth of the tree and the fine quality 
of the fruit, the peach should have the shoots and branches cut back to one-half the preceding 
season’s growth every year, so as to preserve a round, vigorous head, this should be done the 
last of February, or as early in the spring as practicable. The land should not be seeded to 
grass, but kept in constant cultivation.

flesh yellow, productive. One of the finest late sorts. Freestone. Last of September. 


Crosby—This peach, which originated in Massachusetts, has been justly described as an iron- 
clad and frost-proof peach. It, unquestionably, is one of the hardiest peaches of good 
quality yet introduced, and will carry the peach belt several degrees north. It has borne 
immense crops where all other kinds in the same orchard were killed. The fruit is full 
medium size, round, oblate. Color bright yellow, beautifully splashed and striped with 
crimson. The flesh is light yellow and red at the stone, firm, moderately juicy and of

NECTARINES. 


The habit and growth of the trees resembles the peach. The fruit has the distinction of 
a smooth skin, not so large as the peach, and rarely as fine flavored as our best peaches. 
Thrives wherever peaches will grow.

APRICOTS. 


The apricot is one of the most beautiful and delicious of fruits. The tree succeeds best 
and the crop is more when planted on a northern exposure so as to escape injury from late 
spring frosts, as the buds and blossoms start too early in the spring, and are often injured from 
that cause.

PLUMS. 


Most of the cultivated varieties of plums are European or descendants of European varie- 
ties. But in recent years certain extraordinary good varieties of native plums have been widely 
disseminated, and very recently some extremely valuable varieties have been received from 
Japan. Crosses from these will from time to time bring out new and much improved varieties, 
especially securing plums of the best quality of the European plums united with the hardiness, 
or desirable season, or good shipping qualities of the others. 

The finer kinds of plums are beautiful dessert fruits, of rich and luscious flavor. For cook- 
ing and canning they are unsurpassed. For best flavor they should be allowed to remain on 
the tree until fully ripe, but for shipping to market, they must be gathered a very few days 
earlier, when they may be shipped long distances, arriving in good condition. Overbearing 
should not be allowed, but when the trees are over full, sometimes one-half should be removed, 
the remaining fruit thus having a chance to come to the finest perfection and bringing a much 
higher price than if all had remained on the tree. 

Some varieties, especially of the native plums, are hardy and will stand the climate of the 
extreme northeast. Such are noted in our list as hardy, extra, while in the list all are hardy 
and vigorous in all but the most severe climates. 

Plums should be pruned sufficiently to prevent a straggling growth, and to keep the head 
from being too crowded. The plum does best in heavy loam, but it will do extremely well on 
a shaly or gravelly loam, especially if there be some clay in the soil. They should be thor- 
oughly cultivated and not allowed to stand in grass. 


Abundance (Botan)—One of the best Japan plums. The tree is a very rapid grower, healthy 
in hmb and foliage, comes into bearing remarkably young, and yields abundantly. The 
fruit is full medium size, color a rich, bright cherry red, with a distinct bloom, and 
highly perfumed, flesh light yellow, very juicy and tender, and of excellent quality. 
Vigorous. Last of July. 


Apricot Plum (Prunus Simonii)—In all respects a botanical curiosity. In color of bark, and 
in all except the net veinings and color of leaves, it resembles the peach. The fruit in 
appearance comes nearer a flattish smooth, brick red tomato than any of our stone fruit, 


22 The Woodburn Nurseries 


yet in smell and flavor it approaches very near the nectarine. It is a native of Northern 
China, comes in bearing very young and adds a new type to fruit collections, a type 
without a representative among our fruit trees. While we place it with our plums, it 
should be classed by itself. Vigorous. August. 


Bradshaw—Fruit very large, dark violet red, flesh yellowish green, juicy and pleasant, very 
productive. One of the most profitable for market. Comes at a good season, of fine 
appearance and brings a good price. Vigorous. Middle of August. 

Burbank—A valuable Japanese plum, of deeper color and ripening later in the season than the 
Abundance. The fruit is large, nearly globular, clear cherry red with a thin lilac bloom, 
flesh a deep yellow, very sweet, with a peculiar and very agreeable flavor. The tree is 
a vigorous grower, with large and broad leaves, usually begins to bear year after trans- 
planting. August.

THE WICKSON. 


PRUNES. 


We follow the distinction made between plums and prunes, as it is common in the horti- 
culture literature of the Pacific Coast... By the term ‘‘prune”’ is signified a plum that’ dries 
successfully without the removal of ‘the pit and produces a sweet, dried fruit. To'such 
proportions has the prune industry grown in the past dozen years, that it may now be classed 
as one of the most important productions of the Pacific Coast. The exportations annually to 
the Eastern markets reaching hundreds of million pounds of the finest prunes in the world.

The best grapevine trellis is probably 
the wire trellis, with four wires eighteen 
inches apart. Pruning should be done so Mee * be 
that each year two or three of last season’s — —— ——= 
branches shall alone be left, at the spurs

pinched to prevent further growth. The following spring the canes should be cut back to two 
buds. Allow but one bud to throw out a shoot, and treat asin previous year. This system 
should be followed each year.

SMALL FRUITS. 


The small fruits, such as Raspberries, Gooseberries, Currants, etc., ripening from the first 
of June till fall, are everywhere capable of successful cultivation, and yield large returns at com- 
paratively small expense. They should have a place in every garden. Thanks to evaporators 
and self-sealing cans, they may be had throughout the year almost as fresh as when gathered. 


GOOSEBERRIES. 


This fruit requires the same cultivation as the currant. The surest method to prevent 
mildew is to plant thickly in the rows, and mulch deeply six or more inches with straw, tan bark, 
coal ashes, etc. Plantations thus treated have borne large crops fortwenty years. The mulch 
retains moisture in the dryest weather, the few weeds that push up are pulled, and the fruit is 
large and more evenly ripened. In mulching, be sure the round is underdrained or it is worse 
than useless. Good cultivation is better than half mulching. Putitonthick. Inadryseason 
the extra amount of fruit will doubly pay for the material used, not to speak of the saving of 
labor and cleanliness of the fruit. The price is remunerative, and the demand is 
yearly increasing. The American varieties are not subject to mildew. 


Downing — Fruit larger than Houghton, roundish, light green, with distinct veins, skin smooth, 
flesh rather soft, juicy and very good. Vigorous and productive. 


Crown Bob—An English variety, large, roundish oval, red, hairy, of first quality.

Pearl—An exceedingly prolific variety that has been well tested and ranks No. 1 in healthful- 
ness, vigor of growth, freedom from mildew and productiveness. Same color as Down- 
ing, seems to possess all the good points of that variety with a little larger fruit and 
rather more prolific. 

Smith’s Improved—From Vermont. Large, oval, light green with bloom, flesh moderately 
thin, sweet and good, vigorous grower. 


CURRANTS. 


This fruit comes partly with the Raspberry, but follows it several weeks. Indeed, none of 
the small fruits will remain so long upon the bushes without injury as the currant. 

Set four feet apart in rich ground, cultivate well or mulch heavily, prune out old wood, so 
that each remaining shoot will have room to grow, if the currant worm appears dust with helle- 
bore every three weeks. Manure freely. 

Black Naples—Very large, ‘black, rich tender and excellent for jellies and wine, very produc- 
tive. | 

Cherry—Very large, deep red, rather acid, bunches short. Plants erect, stout, vigorous and 
very productive. 


J. H. Settlemier & Son 29 


Fay’s Prolific—Color deep red, rather acid, great bearer, stems longer than Cherry, and ber- 
ries hold their size to the end of the stem better. Quality first-class, not quite so acid 
as Cherry, the best of all the red currants. 


Lee’s Prolific—A new black English production of great value. The fruit is large and of 
superior quality, the bush is a vigorous grower and enormously productive. 
my R 5 ‘gerd North Star—A new variety. The average length 
* of the bunches is four inches, the berries 
from a single bunch, thirty in number, placed 
side by side, touching, covered a line twelve 
inches long. ‘The fruit is very sweet and 
rich in quality, firm, a good market berry, 
desirable as a dessert fruit in the natural state, 
and unequalled in jelly. The length and 
abundance of the clusters make it possible 
to pick 25 per cent. more fruit in the same 
length of time from this than from other 
sorts. 
Pomona—A new red cur- 
rant of good size, very 
productive, sweet, of 
excellent 
quality. 


Red Dutch—An old, well known sort, berry of medium size and good quality, bunch long, plant 
an upright grower and very prolific. 

Versaillaise—Very large, red,. bunch long, of great beauty, and excellent quality, one of the 
finest and best, and should be in every collection. Very productive. 


Victoria—Large,. bright red, with very long bunches, late, a good bearer. 
White Dutch— Well-known, of medium size and excellent quality. 


White Grape—Very large, yellowish white, sweet, or mild acid, excellent quality and valuable 
for the table. The finest of the white sort. Very distinct from White Dutch, having 
a low, spreading habit and dark green foliage. Very productive. 


RASPBERRIES. 


The fruit comes just after strawberries, and when properly cultivated is quite profitable. 

Plant on strong soil, manure freely, cultivate well or mulch heavily. For field rows seven 
feet apart four feet in row. Pinch off canes when three feet high, and prune the laterals the 
following spring; within twelve or eighteen inches of the cane. Cut out old wood each year 
immediately after the bearing season is over. Cover tender varieties in winter by bending 
down and throwing earth or coarse litter over them. In the spring they should be raised and 
tied to a stake. 


RED RASPBERRIES. 


Columbian—A new red raspberry originated in Oneida County, New York. Said to bea seed- 
ling of the Cuthbert, grown near the Gregg and believed to be a cross between the two. 
One of the most vigorous growers of the red raspberry family. Fruit very large, often 
an inch in diameter, shape conical, color dark red, bordering on purple. Adheres firmly 
to the stem and will dry on the bush if not picked. Wonderfully prolific and perfectly 
hardy. 


30 The Woodburn Nurseries 


Cuthbert—A variety of the greatest excellence. One of the few kind that may be pronounced 
perfectly bardy. The canes are tall and vigorous, and enormously productive. Berries 
very large, conical, rich ciimson, very handsome, and so firm that they can be shipped 
hundreds of miles by rail without injury. Flavor very luscious, best; commences to 
ripen moderately early, and holds on until most others are gone. 

: Japanese Raspberry (Wineberry)—Ornamental 
both in fruit and plant. © Canes covered 
with purplish-red hairs, leaves dark green, 
silvery gray beneath. Fruit in large 
clusters and each berry at first tightly 
enveloped by the large clayx, forming a 
sort of burr, which is covered with pur- 
plish-red hairs. These gradually open 
and turn back, exposing beautiful wine- 
colored fruit of medium size, brisk sub- 
acid, retaining flavor when cooked, highly 
esteemed for canning, preserves, jellies, 
etc. 


Loudon—Said to be a seedling of the Tumer 
crossed with Cuthbert. Large, broadly 
conical, beautiful red. Ripens about the 
time of the Cuthbert, continuing later, 
and in quality fully as good as that 
variety. 

Marlboro—A strong grower, with heavy canes 
and laterals, hardy,fruit very large, bright 
crimson, holding its color well. An ex- 
ceedingly early variety, and a vigorous, 
heavy bearer, of excellent quality. A 
truly reliable acquisition. 


Red Antwerp— Large, dark red, with large grains 
a and covered with a thick bloom. Flesh 
CEBU MEE Ts ot juicy, with a brisk flavor. 


Shaffer’s Colossal—Berries are large, of a dull purplish, unattractive color, rather soft, but 
luscious, and of a rich, sprightly flavor. Whilst its color and lack of firmness render it 
unfit for market purposes, it is unrivalled for family use, and is one of the best for can- 
ning. Late. 


Turner—Medium, berry red, tender, juicy, sweet, very hardy. 


YELLOW RASPBERRIES. 


Golden Queen—A seedling from the Cuthbert, equaling that variety in vigor of bush and pro- 
ductiveness. Fruit large, color a pure yellow, quality best. Ripens with Cuthbert. A 
decided acquisition. 

Golden Caroline (Caroline Yellow)—A yellow cap variety, medium to large, a rich orange color, 
moderately firm, very hardy and prolific, a valuable garden variety. 


Yellow Antwerp—Large berry, light yellow, flesh pale yellow, sweet and of a good flavor. 


BLACK CAPS. P 


Cumberland—A new Black Cap, of very large size, good quality, hardy and productive, mid- 
season. 

Gregg—One of the most valuable varieties of the black cap family, fruit larger than the Mam- 
moth Cluster, but not quiteso good in quality, ripens some days later, hardy, a vigorous 
grower and great yielder. 

Mammoth Cluster (McCormick )—A large and very productive variety of black caps. Good 
quality, ripens just after Souhegan and before the Gregg. 

Ohio—Berry not quite as large as Giegg, but finer quality and the plants more hardy and will 
bear more successive crops. 

Souhegan—Large, black, without bloom and of medium quality. Very hardy and a great 
bearer, a little earlier than Mammoth Cluster. 


J. H. Settlemier & Son 31 


BLACKBERRIES. 


Plant on good land, moderately manured. Rows seven feet apart, three feet in the rows 
in the field, prune as with Raspberries. Form a hedge or tie to wire. Cultivate shallow. 


Eldorado—A valuable new var- 
iety, fruit medium size, jet 
black, melting, sweet, and 
rich, plant hardy and very 
productive. 


Early Harvest—A new variety 
of great promise, being 
exceedingly early in time

longer in bearing, is mnpe 
as soon as black, and much 
earlier, sweeter and better 
in all respects than the 7 EE WV /Yyy

qualitjy, an abundant 
bearer. 

Logan Berry—Judge J. H. 
Logan, of Santa Cruz, is 
the originator of this 
wonderful fruit. It was 
raised from the seeds of the Aughinbaugh Blackberry and Red Antwerp Raspberry. 
The vine grows entirely unlike the blackberry or raspberry, it trails upon the ground like 
a dewberry. The canes are very large, without the thorns of the blackberry, but have 
very fine spines like those found on the raspberry, leases resemble those of the raspberry 
more than of the blackberry, are of a deep green color, coarse and thick. An exceed- 
ingly strong grower, and an enormous bearer. The fruit is as large as the largest sized 
blackberry, of the same shape and form, a dark red color when fully ripe, and combines 
the flavor of both the raspberry and the blackberry, having a mild and very pleasant 
vinous flavor not found in any other fruit. Raw, it is excellent for the table, as also 
stewed, and for jelly or jam it is without anequal. Fruit ripens early, the bulk being 
gone before the blackberries or raspberries become plentiful. Is firm and a fine shipper. 


McCracken—Large, not very productive but of good flavor.

32 The Woodburn Nurseries 


Oregon Evergreen—A native sort, superior to almost every berry in sweetness and flavor. 
The fruit is of medium size and is a very prolific bearer. 


Rathbun—Fruit very large, with small seeds, no hard core. Sweet, luscious, high flavor, color 
jet black, firm, berries will measure an inch anda half long. Plant strong, erect. Roots 
at the tips like the blackcap, hardy and prolific. Forty-five berries filled a quart straw- 
berry box. 


Snyder—Extremely hardy, enormously productive, medium size, no hard, sour core, half as 
many thorns as Lawton or Kittatinny, and they are nearly straight and short, exceed- 
ingly productive. 

Taylor—One of the largest blackberries grown. Fruit of the best quality, melting and without 
core, very productive, and as hardy as the Snyder. 


Wilson, Jr.—A week earlier than Old Wilson, from which it is a seedling. Of largest size, 
and enormously productive, promises to be a very valuable sort. In severe climates 
should have winter protection. 


DEWBERRIES. 


Lucretia—The plants are perfectly hardy and healthy, and remarkably productive. The flowers 
are very large and showy. The fruit, which ripens with the Mammoth Cluster Rasp- 
berry, is very large, soft, sweet and luscious throughout, without any hard center or 
core. As the Dewberry roots only from the tips, and does not sprout like the black- 
berry, this will be much more desirable for garden culture, and the trailing habit of plants 
will render winter protection easily accomplished in cold climates, where that precaution 
may be necessary. The Lucretia has proven to be the best variety of Dewberries, and 
is recognized as a very valuable acquisition to the list of small fruit, there are, however, 
many other varieties most of which should be avoided, many being entirely worthless. 


Mammoth—Medium, and very good quality but inferior to the Lucretia. 


STRAWBERRIES. 


Strawberries may be successfully grown on any soil adapted for garden purposes, or where 
good crops of grain or potatoes can be raised. The ground should be well prepared, thor- 
oughly enriched, and be kept mellow and free from weeds. 


Clark’s Seedling (Hood River)—This new berry originated at Hood River, Oregon, where it 
is planted to the exclusion of all others for long distance shipments. It is larger than 
the Wilson, very firm. Color a beautiful dark red, and in quality is unsurpassed. 


Jessie—Large berries, beautiful and of good quality, requires rich soil and good culture. 


Magoon—Has proved to be a leader in hardiness in addition to all of its other good qualities. 
Of over 100 varieties the Magoon alone has come through the trying weather of last 
winter without injury. The Magoon Strawberry always brings top prices in the Port- 
land market, and is a remarkable yielder. 


Oregon Champion— Berry medium, is a very prolific bearer, very pleasant flavor, ripens with the 
earliest and continues bearing until November. 


Sharpless—Large, irregular, very good quality with fine flavor, a prolific bearer. 


Wilson’s Albany—Berry of a medium size, very productive, bright red. Flesh of excellent 
quality with a rich, sub-acid flavor. 


ASPARAGUS. 


To make a good asparagus bed, the plants may be set in the fall or early spring. Prepare 
a plat of fine loamy soil, to which has been added a liberal dressing of good manure. Select 
two-year, or strong one-year plants, and for a garden, set in rows 18 to 20 inches apart, with 
plants Io to 12 inches in rows. 

Make a small mound of the soil, over which the roots should be evenly spread, so that the 
crowns, when covered, shall be three inches below the surface of the ground. If planted in 
the fall, the whole bed should be covered before winter sets in, with two or three inches of 
coarse stable manure, which may be lightly forked in between the rows as soon as the ground 
is softened in the spring. 


J. H. Settlemier & Son BB 


Columbian Mammoth White—Produces shoots which are white and remain so as long as fit for 
use. In addition to the marvelous advantage of its white color, the Columbian Mam- 
moth White Asparagus is even more robust and vigorous in habit, and throws larger 
shoots and fully as many of them, as the Conover’s Colossal. Market gardeners, grow- 
ers for canners and amateurs, should give this great acquisition a thorough trial. 

Conover’s Colossal—Very large size and of excellent quality, has superceded the old varieties. 

Giant—This is an old and well known variety, tender and very rich. 

Palmetto—A very early variety, even, regular size, of excellent quality. 

Queen—Strong, vigorous grower, producing extra large stalks of finest quality, of a decided 
pink color. For canning or cooking in any way its quality is unsurpassed. 


REE BARB, OR PIE PLANT. 


Deep, rich, moist soil is best, but it is such a strong, vigorous growing plant, it will thrive 
almost anywhere. Plant in rows four feet apart, and the plants three feet apart. Set the roots 
so that the crowns are about an inch below the surface. Rhubarb is a gross feeder, the more 
manure it is given, the larger and finer the yield. 


Myatt’s Linnzus—Early, very large, tender and delicately flavored, requires less sugar than 
other sorts. 


Victoria—This variety, if planted in a rich soil and properly cultivated, will produce tender stalks 
three feet long, and from one to two inches in diameter. 


Wine Plant—The large size, fine texture and superior quality of this new variety over the old 
cultivated ‘‘ Pie Plant’’ cannot be conceived by those who have never grown it. We 
have grown stalks frequently, with good cultivation, as thick as a man’s wrist, and from 
three to fourfeet in length. In addition to its superior quality, for culinary purposes 
both when used fresh and for canning, it can be pressed and the juice made into a health- 
ful wine, which for medicinal purposes or as a pleasant beverage, is considered superior 
to the best sherry wines. 


NUTS. 
Almonds. 


DRAKE’S SEEDLING—Originated with Mr. Drake, of Suisum, California, of the Languedoc 
class, bears abundantly and regularly where the Languedoc is a total failure. 

HARD SHELL—A fine, hard variety, with a large plump kernel. 

I. X. L.—Large, generally single kernels, hulls easily, soft shell, tree ‘a strong, upright 
grower. 

NONPAREIL—Large, full kernel, thin shell, tree of a weeping habit, and a strong grower. 

NE PLus ULtRA—Similar to above, but of a different habit of growth. — 

Sorr SHELL—Not as hardy as the Hard Shell, kernels sweet and rich. 


Chestnut. 

AMERICAN SWEET—A valuable native tree useful and ornamental, timber is very durable, 
and possesses a fine grain of oil finish. Nuts sweet, of delicate flavor, and are a valu- 
able article of commerce. 

JAPAN—Very distinct from allother chestnuts, dwarf grower, productive, usually producing 
nuts when two or three years old. Nuts of immense size, far surpassing all other 
kinds, of fair quality when outside skin is removed. 


SPANISH—A handsome round headed tree, producing abundantly-very large nuts that find 
a ready market at good prices. Twenty-five dollars have been realized at one fruiting 
from the nuts of a single tree. Not as sweet as the American. 


Filbert. 
ENGLISH—Of easiest culture, growing six to eight feet high, entirely hardy,and one of the 


most profitable and satisfactory nuts to grow, succeeding on almost all soils, bearing 
early and abundantly, nuts nearly round, rich and of excellent favor.

J. H. Settlemier & Son 35 


KENTISH Cop—Not very large, oblong, and somewhat compressed, shell pretty thick, of 
a brown color, kere] full and rich, a great bearer. The best of all the nuts. 


RED HazrLt—Medium size, shell rather thick, kernel crimson skin, with a peculiar excel- 
lent flavor. : 


Hickory. 


SHELL BARK—To our taste no other nut that grows, either foreign or native, is superior 
to this in quality, it possesses a peculiar, rich, nutty flavor excelled by none. The tree 
is of sturdy lofty growth. The wood, on account of its great strength and elasticity, 
is highly prized for making agricultural implements, and is unsurpassed for fuel. 


Pecan—WNot hardy in the north, one of the best and most profitable whereit succeeds. Makes 
a very large, talltree, producing its thin-shelled, delicious nuts in profusion. 


Walnut. 


BLACK—A native tree of large size and majestic form, beautiful foliage. The most valu- 
able of all trees for its timber, which brings the highest price in the market, it enters 
largely into the manufacture of fine furniture and cabinet ware. Tree a rapid grower, 
producing a large round nut of excellent quality. 


CALIFORNIA BLACK WALNUT—This species of Walnut is indigenous to California. The 
fruit is spherical, the nut hard but smooth, and not furrowed like the Eastern Black 
Walnut, the kernel is rich and oily. This walnut is of rapid growth, spreading out 
more than the Eastern kind, but going to bearing sooner. 

WHITE WALNvT (Butternut)—A fine native tree, producing a large, longish nut, which 
is prized for its sweet, oily, nutritious kernel. 


FRENCH CHABERTS—One of the best, very productive, extra fine quality. 


JAPAN SIEBOLDI—Perfectly hardy here, rapid grower, handsome form, immense leaves, 
bears young and abundantly, one of the finest ornamental trees. Nuts produced in 
clusters, resembles Butternut in shape and quality, smaller with smooth and thinner 
shell. Worthy of extensive planting. 


MAYETTE—This is one of the finest dessert nuts grown, it is quite large, uniformly so, 
well shaped, with a light colored shell, the kernel is full fleshed, sweet and very. late 
in budding out, which enables it to escape the disastrous effect of late frosts in the 
spring, it is also an abundant bearer. The Mayette was originated by a man by the 
name of Mayet, about 125 years ago, and the nut having ever since been a great 
favorite.

ORNAMENTAL DEPARTMENT. 


No pains are spared to produce the finest specimens of the very best varieties of omamen- 
tal trees and shrubs. We list only those which are hardy. 

Customers must not expect the young stock, however, to show the beauty of the fully 
developed tree or shrub, that beauty is reached only as age and growth are attained.. Pictures 
and descriptions can be of fully developed specimens only, but the young stock when delivered 
may have even an apparently scraggy and irregular growth. 

Great mistakes are usually made in planting large growing shade trees too close together, 
which prevents symmetrical development. One expects to remove the extra trees when they get 
larger, and they look so far apart when the young trees are planted proper distance apart. But 
one forgets to remove them until all chance of symmetry is lost. Large holes should be dug 
to give the roots a good chance. 

Grass should not be allowed to grow up to the young trees or shrubs, but a reasonable 
space should be kept thoroughly cultivated about the roots at least until full vigor is established. 
Otherwise they will be stunted and utterly ruinec. 

Most deciduous trees and shrubs may be planted in either spring or fall, but evergreens 
should be planted in the spring only. 

Ornamental trees require only such pruning as will prevent a straggling growth of head, or 
will bring the head up to a desired height. Shrubs should be pruned so as to bring out the most 
beautiful natural shape, and induce in flowering varieties the greatest amount of bloom. With 
flowering shrubs these principles may be observed. Varieties flowering in the spring should be 
pruned and pinched, and old wood cut out after flowering, from time to time through the 
flowering season, in order to produce growth of flowering wood, and not in the spring before 
blooming, which would remove the blossom buds. Those which bloom late in the season, like 
Hydrangeas, should be pruned in the spring before they start to grow, since their flowering 
wood is then about to be produced. There is no advantage in trimming all specimens to one 
form, or in shearing. The natural beauty in each specimen is to be developed. Hedges, how- 
ever, are necessarily to be sheared into regular form.

WEEPING DECIDUOUS TREES. 


The superior grace and excellence of the weeping varieties render them especially adapted 
to the yard or lawn. In our list will be found all of the kinds which we deem partic- 
ularly attractive. Customers will, however, save from disappointment if they will 
realize that it is impossible to deliver them from the nursery with the form and shape 
which they attain with age. It can no more be done than fruit trees could be deliv- 
ered with the fruit on.

It is budded on Cromwell stocks, about five feet from the ground, and forms a per- 
fect umbrella-shaped head in a few years, without pruning or training. It does not 
grow in height, but the branches droop gracefully to the ground. It occupies very 
little space, and will thrive near larger trees, and is, therefore, invaluable for small 
inclosures. It is also well adapted for cemetery lots. 


NEw AMERICAN (Americana pendula)—Grafted about five feet high. An interesting 
variety, with delicate leaves and slender branches. Quite graceful and ornamental. 
Never grows large. 


EVERGREEN TREES. 


Evergreens are exceedingly difficult to transplant, and they should never be set in the fall. 
Even when planted in the spring, and under favorable circumstances, a large percentage are 
liable to fail. In the hands of amateurs, failure is almost certain in all cases. For this reason 
we do not like to sell evergreens, yet we can supply: the varieties described below when desired. 
We cannot furnish sorts not named in this catalogue.

HARDY FLOWERING SHRUBS. 


We might extend our list of ornamental shrubs almost indefinitely, but as we desire to send 
out only the best of each class, we are necessarily confined to the following varieties. Our list 
is designed particularly for those who have small places, yet we feel confident that it embraces 
all the desirable kinds for the most extensive grounds. While we aim to give the merits of 
each one due attention, we do not intend to exaggerate in describing a single variety. We 
are positive that not one will meet with a disappointment in selecting from the descriptions. 
Some of the very finest varieties are exceedingly ungainly when sent from the nursery, and 
customers must understand if one kind looks better than another when delivered, that it is not 
because we did not take as much pains with it in the nursery. 


Althea or Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus).

stand our winters without protection, though a mulching of straw or loose litter is 
desirable, at least until they become established. They are among the most beauti- 
ful of flowering shrubs, presenting the best effect where massed in beds. They 
require no other than an ordinary garden soil, with moderate fertilizing each year.

WEIGELA. 


HARDY CLIMBING VINES. 


Ornamentals of this class are so hardy, so easily grown, and so beautiful, that they deserve 
greater attention than they receive. No artist can produce pictures equal to the wealth of 
beauty displayed by the elegant Wistaria, the graceful Honeysuckle, or the charming and mag- 
nificent Clematis when in the glory of full bloom, and there is nothing in art that will in any 
degree compaye with the gorgeous hues of the Ampelopsis after it assumes its brilliant autumnal 
tints. 

Ampelopsis. 
; AMERICAN IVY OR VIRGINIA CREEPER ‘Quinquefolia)—Also called Woodbine. <A 
very rapid grower, having beautiful, dark green foliage, assumes rich crimson hues in 
autumn. 


VEITCHII OR Boston Ivy—Leaves a little smaller and more ivy-like in form than the 
foregoing. Overlapping each other, they form a dense sheet of green. The plant 
requires a little protection the first winter until it is established, but after that it may 
be safely left to care for itself. It grows rapidly and clings to the surface of even a 
painted brick wall with great tenacity. The foliage changes to crimson scarlet in 
autumn. 


Aristolochia (Dutchman’s Pipe). 

SIPHO—A rapid grower, with magnificent foliage, ten to twelve inches in diameter, and 

curious pipe-shaped, yellowish-brown flowers. 
Chinese Matrimoniat-Vine (Lycium Sinensis). 

A vigorous climber, branching freely, and covered with bright purple star-shaped flowers, 
succeeded by brilliant scarlet berries almost an inch long, the contrast between the 
glossy, dark green foliage and shining scarlet fruit being exceedingly beautiful. Flow- 
ers and fruit continue forming throughout summer, when the fruit ripens and remains 
on the vine until winter. Of the easiest culture, thrives everywhere and in any soil. 


52 The Woodburn Nurseries

SCARLET TRUMPET (Sempervirens)—A strong grower, and pro- 
duces scarlet inodorous flowers all summer. 

Ivy (Hedera). 

The evergreen ivies often suffer in winter if exposed to the sun, 
and should therefore, be planted on the north side of the wall 
or building. 

ENGLISH (Helix)—A well-known old variety, very popular. 

VARIEGATED-LEAVED (Fol. Variegata)— With smaller leaves than 
the preceding, variegated with white.

and a very rapid grower after it gets thoroughly established, sometimes making twenty 
feet of wood in a single season. Bears long clusters of pale blue flowers in May and 
June, and also in September. Extremely 
hardy. Attains a larger size than any other 

climber. 


CHINESE WHITE (Chinensis alba) — Habit of 
growth similar to Chinese Purple, but the 
flowers are somewhat smaller and pure white. 
Blooms in June and September. 


CLEMATIS. 


Although of recent introduction, the finer varieties 
of clematis are today pre€minently the most showy and 
effective of all the hardy flowering vines known, so far 
as richness of color and elegance of the flower is con- 
cerned. Nothing can excel the surpassing beauty of 
the many colors of the several varieties. They are 
peculiarly adapted for covering pillars, trellises, walls, 
fences, rocks, etc., their exceedingly rapid growth 
(making from ten totwelve feet of vine in a single 
season) rendering them especially valuable for hiding 
from view any unsightly object. They are equally 
efficient when used as a bedding plant, covering a bed 
very quickly if pegged down occasionally. All of the 
varieties offered by us are entirely hardy, most of them 
are lavish bloomers, and the majority blossom the first 
season after transplanting. We deliver only a small 
root. ; :; > AP coarse & 
Coccinea (Leather Flower)—-A curious bed-shape COGCINER - 

heavy petaled flower borne in profusion -for a 
long season, color bright scarlet. 


Henryii—Fine bloomer, flowers large, of a bright, beautiful creamy white, consisting generally 
of from six to eight sepals. June to October.

than any other, and still stands as one of the best. Itisa strong grower and produces 
a mass of intense violet purple flowers from June to October. 


Madame Edward Andre—Flowers large, of a beautiful bright velvety red, very free flowering 
and continuous bloomer. 


Paniculata—A great novelty from Japan. One of the most desirable, useful and omamental 
of hardy garden vines, a Juxuriant grower, profuse bloomer, with fine foliage. Flowers 
of medium size, very pretty and fragrant, produced in the greatest profusion in late 
summer. 


Ramona—A new American seedling clematis. It is a strong, rampant grower, we think three 
times stronger than the Jackmani, and is very hardy. It is a free and perpetual bloom- 
ing variety, both on the old year’s growth and also on the wood of the current year, the 
color of the flower is a deep sky-blue, and very attractive, the size of the flower is 
larger than any variety we ever Saw, very many as large as eighteen inches in circum- 
ference. 


Viticella Rubra Grandiflora—Should be in every collection. A fine bloomer. Flowers large, 
handsome, and of a rich claret red color. July to October. 


DOUBLE VARIETIES. 


Duchess of Edinburg—This is without doubt the best of the double pure whites. Deliciously 
scented. 


Lucie Lemoine—Flowers white, double, large, and well formed. Very showy. Blooms only 
in spring. 


HEDGE PLANTS. 


To plant hedges of evergreens, when plants are two feet high or over, no previous special 
preparation is necessary only that the ground is reasonably upland to be suitable for hedge 
purposes. Plow with two horse along where the hedge is to be planted and then plow back 
along same furrow and then plow out the centre ridge of about six inches in the centre of the 
dead furrow and then plow out the centre of dead furrow. Set a line so that it will come 
directly over said furrow at such a height as not to interfere with the workmen, then with 
spade throw out under the line deep enough so that plants will be two inches deeper than in 
nursery. Place plants 22 inches part in the row putting mellow earth around the roots. If the 
ground is hardclay, sand must be drawn, and two or three shovelfuls put around the roots of 
each plant and then fill up with soil. Keep well cultivated first two or three seasons and if dry 
weather, should be watered occasionally. By this method a spruce hedge can be set, even 
after removing an old fence, without previous preparation. 


Plant evergreens when 12 to 18 inches high, about 9 inches apart. Honey Locust and 
Osage Orange in double rows, about nine inches apart. Evergreens should be pruned in 
spring just before they commence growing. 


American Arbor Vite—Forms a handsome omamental hedge of fairly dense growth. 


Buckthorn (Rhamnus)—A fine, robust, hardy shrub of European origin, with dark green 
foliage, white flowers and small, black fruit. A popular hedge plant. 


Hemlock—Of graceful habit, and fine foliage, but not so harcy, nor adapted to all soils. 
Honey Locust—By its vigorous habit, and thorny character makes a good cattle or farm hedge. 
Japan Quince, Privet and Dwarf Box—All make elegant ornamental hedges. 


Norway Spruce—With careful pruning may be kept low and in shape, and grown in this shape 
is highly ornamental. 

Scotch Pine, Austrian Pine, American Arbor Vit#—All well adapted for planting in belts for 
wind breaks. 

Siberian Arbor Vitz—Is of thrifty, compact growth, fine form, great hardihood, and a deep 
green color, which its foliage retains throughout the year. Considered by many the 
best for the purpose. 


Tom Thumb Arbor Vite—For a low, ornamental hedge.

ROSES: 


Nothing that we can say can add to the popularity of this most beautiful of all flowers. Those 
who appreciate the beauties of nature, prize roses above all things else in the ornamental line. 
While nearly all desire, and perhaps make an effort to have, an abundance of tuem in their 
season, yet very many fail, and the failure to succeed is usually due to planting inferior bushes, 
thousands of which are sent out over the country every year at very low prices. Our roses 
cost more than the weak, puny, hothouse plants referred to, yet the results show that we give 
our customers as much for their money as any firm in the country. Our bushes are grown out- 
of-doors, in ordinary soil, and are as hardy and vigorous as it is possible to make them. When 
properly planted and cared for, they give perfect satisfaction. lf the amount of bloom is not 
as great as is desired, all that is necessary is to fertilize freely and apply the pruning knife a 
little more freely the following spring, and this will insure an abundant growth of new wood, 
and it is the new wood that yields the bloom. 


How to grow them—They succeed best in a deep, rich, clay loam soil. In preparing a 
rose bed or hedge, first prepare the soil for your plants as follows: If in the lawn, and the 
ground is sodded over, remove the sod if the ground is a stiff clay, the depth of four inches, 
the size you want your bed, spade up the ground to the depth of fifteen inches thoroughly, 
then prepare a compost as follows—two parts of leaf mold, on part sandy soil or leached ashes, 
on part good, well-rotted cow manure. Mix these thoroughly together and place six inches 
deep of this mixture on top of your bed. Spade it in thoroughly, mixing into the ground. If 
your ground is sandy use the same amount of clay loam and cow manure. [If it is a clay loam 
use leaf mold two parts, and cow manure one part, and proceed the same as above, if it isa 
muck and the ground is well drained use a liberal amount of well-rotted cow or horse manure. 
Remember that the manure must be well rotted and mixed thoroughly through the soil. Green 
manure must never be used, as it will kill the plants if it comes in contact with the roots. 
Never set yourroses in a low wet place, the ground must be thoroughly drained if it is low, 
although roses respond delightfully to a free application of water from the hydrant and cannot 
be grown perfectly without it. Roses should be cultivated if you wish to reach the perfection 
line. Never plant roses under the overhanging boughs ofa tree. If possible, get a location 
where your roses will have same protection from the cold westerly winds, either from buildings, 
board fence or hedge if you want a first-class rosary, while the most of the Hybrid Perpet- 
uals are hardy, they are much better with a little protection. Always get the best stock that 
can be procured. 


How to plant—When your roses come, place them in soft water twenty-four hours 
before setting, prune off all the broken roots. Plant your roses 2% feet apart. If set in rose 
beds 2 feet; in hedge, if set two rows side by side, 2% by 3% feet. This will give you 
ample room to cultivate them. When setting be careful to straighten out the roots and press 
the dirt well around them with foot orhands. Set them as deep as they grow in the nursery. 
You can tell by the dark earth-line on the rose stock. Budded roses should be set with the 
bud four inches under the ground. After setting cut tops of the weak plants six inches from 
the ground, and the strong plants eight inches, either fall or spring setting. If it is in the 
spring cover the top of your bed 1% inches deep with good rotted manure, so when you use 
the hydrant on your roses you will be feeding the plant liquid manure, which gives your roses 
the beautiful luster. If it is a fall set, after cutting the tops off, hoe the dirt up around your 
stalk to the top, and press around the plants, then cover three or four inches deep with good 
horse manure from the stable, which should have plenty of straw in it, leave this on all winter. 
When spring comes in March or April, owing to the earliness of the spring, remove all the 
manure and level up your bed. Put two inches of this manure on top of your rose bed, shaking 
out all the straw, dig this into the ground with manure fork. If you have no hydrant, put the 
manure, without shaking out the straw, on top of the bed to keep ground moist. Use allof the 
soapsuds made from washings on your roses, as it is an excellent fertilizer and is good for them. 
Kerosene emulsion should be used on the roses as soon as the leaves are the size of your little 
finger nail, spray them once a week and oftener if it rains much. Spray under the leaves as 
well as on top. This will keep your roses free from insects. Never use poison on your roses 
as itis dangerous, some people have a mania for eating them. If you have the hydrant you 
need never have an insect to harm your bushes. As soon as your bushes begin to show leaves 
nicely (size of your finger nail) use your hy drant every night on them, turn down the stream so 
it is like rain, giving the full force ofthe stream. Use this on your bushes and wash them for 
two minutes every evening, it will wash off all larve so there will be none there to hatch. By 
doing this every night the leaves get accustomed to the water and they will bloom freely, giv- 
ing you a beautiful supply of the gorgeous beauties. Roses should be pruned in March and 


J. H. Settlemier & Son By 


about the last of June. When you prune in March, for the first three years cut the weak shoots 
back two-thirds, the strong shoots one-half. After that level up your bush, by that time your 
rose should be established if you have grown it properly. Cutout the old canes, as they get 
scrubby, close to the ground to give place to the strong new shoots. Experience is the best 
teacher. Young shoots, if thrifty and strong, can be made to bloom in August if cut off in the 
laterpart of June. This checks their growth, and as the wood hardens it will throw out side 
shoots which will give you the most beautiful roses of the season. Clip off the ends of your 
bushes six to eight inches the middle of June or first of July. Those that have no roses on 
cut off six or eight inches and it will soon throw out another shoot filled with buds. Roses 
should have a good coat of rotten manure every fall, and worked into the ground every spring. 
They should be kept clean from weeds or grass by cultivation. 

Insects—For the aphis, syringe the plants daily witha tobacco solution, one pound of tobac- 
co stems to five gallons of water. Rose bugs which work at the flowers must be picked off. The 
rose caterpillar glues two or more leaves together to form ashelter, press these leaves together 
with the thumb and finger. Insects which eat the leaves can be destroyed by applying white 
hellebore when the foliage is damp. For thrips and aphides a spraying or wash of whale oil 
soap will be effective.

60 The Woodburn Nurseries 


Crimson Rambler (Japanese )—This wonderful rose has been thoroughly tried in all situations 
and has proved to be all that could be claimed for a new introduction, and it has far 
surpassed all that was hoped for it. As a climbing or running rose it has no equal. The 
foliage is rich dark green, the growth rapid and diverse, but its great beauty is when the 
plant is covered with a profusion of the brightest crimson partly doubled flowers which 
remain on a long time, this prolonging the term of its magnificence. 

Dorothy Perkins—This is a splendid new shell-pink Climbing rose. It attracted much atten” 
tion at the Pan-American Exposition where a bed of fourteen-months-old plants pro- 
duced a show of bloom unequalled by any other variety, unless it was the famous 
Crimson Rambler. This new rose is of the same strong habit of growth as Crimson 
Rambler, and the flowers are borne in clusters of 30 or 40 and sometimes even 50 to 60. 
The flowers are large for a rose of this class, very double, sweetly scented and of a beau- 
tiful shell pink, a color that is almost impossible to accurately represent by lithography. 
It has flowered splendidly and has been very br lliant. This seems to me to be a great 
acquisitoin. and I believe it to be a good forcing rose. The individual flower is larger 
than the Crimson Rambler, but it is a beautiful shell-pink in color. 


Pink Rambler—Possesses the same valuable features found in the White Rambler, with which 
it differs only in color of flower, which is a bright carmine. 


Queen of the Prairie—Bright rose color, large, compact and globular, a very profuse bloomer. 
One of the best. 


Russell’s Cottage—Dark crimson, very double and full. Strong grower. 
Seven Sisters—Large cluster of bloom, shaded to dark red. 


White Rambler (Thalia)— Flowers are the size of a silver quarter, perfectly filled, very fragrant. 
Color pure white, sometimes tinged with blush. Blooms in clusters. 


Yellow Rambler (Aglaia)—A new climbing rose of the class and habit of the famous Crimson 
Rambler, flowers medium size, cup shape, nearly full, sweet scented, blooms in large 
clusters, color very light yellow. 


SUMMER ROSES. 


These bloom but once in early summer. They are hardy. 
Harrison’s Yellow—Not so durable as Persian Yellow, bright yellow, very showy and fine.

MISCELLANEOUS BORDER AND HOUSE PLANTS. 


We offer a fine assortment of the best varieties of these useful plants, which are exceed- 
ingly valuable on account of their hardiness, easy culture and showy appearance. Most of 
these will live all winter in open ground, and bloom freely every year. We name our leading 
sorts. 


Anemone Japonica. 

A distinct and beautiful species, flowers two and one-half inches in diameter, bright pur- 
plish rose, with golden yellow centers, borne in great profusion from September to 
November. Height, two and one-half feet, habit neat and compact, very desirable 
and effective as a pot plant, and in lines and masses in beds or mixed borders. 


Dahlias. 

The Dahlia is the grandest autumn flower we have. Nothingis its equal in any respect in 
September and October. It is in its glory when everything else is faded or fading, 
and surrenders only to the Frost King. Put Dahlia tubers in the ground when the 
season becomes warm, covering the neck some three inches. If many shoots 
start thin them out. After flowering and before hard frosts, take up the plants, 
remove the tops, dry the bulbs a little, and put in the cellar until spring, when they 
can be divided and replanted. Look at them occasionally to see that they are not 
shriveling from too dry an atmosphere, nor starting the eye early in consequence of 
too much moisture and warmth. 


Eulalia. 

JAPONICA ZEBRINA—A most striking and distinct plant. Unlike most plants with 
variegated foliage the striping or marking is across the leaves instead of longitud- 
inally, the leaves being striped every two or three inches with a band of yellow one- 
half inch wide. Late in the fall it is covered with flower spikes that resemble ostrich 
plumes in shape, which when cut and dried, make handsome ornaments for the house 
in winter. It is perfectly hardy and when once planted will increase in beauty from 
year to year. Should bein every collection. 


Hollyhocks. 
A collection of fine double sorts, of several colors. 


Hibiscus. 
Valuable border plants, having handsome broad leaves 
and large showy blossoms. A general assortment. 


Japanese Fern Ball. 
This beautiful novelty from the Orient is a most decorative 
plant. It is constructed of fern roots and moss, and 
upon frequent waterings the fern leaves spring out 
from every point. The fern hall, which is furnished 
while dormant, is from six to eight inches in diam- 
eter. 


\ Yucca. 

ADAM’s NEEDLE—A handsome conspicuous plant, with 
long, narrow palm-like leaves and tall, upright 
stems, three to four feet high, bearing bell-shaped, 
creamy-white flowers in July. 


SUMMER AND AUTUMN FLOWERING BULBS. 


They require taking up in the fall, and to be kept from freezing. 


Amaryllis. 
ForRMOSISSIMA (Jacobean Lily} Flowers large, deep red. 
JOHNSONIA—Dull brick red, witha star center. 
Gladiolus. 5 
These are among the most showy and brilliant of all bulbous plants. Nature is nowhere 
more lavish of her paint then upon the flowers of the Gladiolus. They should be 
planted out of doors in the spring—never in fall, as the bulbs will not stand freezing. 
They are, however, excellent for window culture, planted in vases, either singly or in 
groups. 


J. H. Settlemier & Son 63 


Tuberose. 
DouBLE WHITE AND SINGLE —Flowers very fragrant. Late autumn. 


PEARL— Its value over the common varieties consists in its flowers being nearly double in 
size, imbricated like a rose, and its dwarf habit, growing only eighteen inches to two 
feet. The fragrance and color same as common sort. 


FLOWERING BULBS TO BE PLANTED IN THE FALL. 
Crocus. 
In various colors. Single and double. 
Hyacinths. 

Among the bulbs used for winter flowers, the Hyacinth stands foremost on the list. Two 
methods are employed in flowering the Hyacinth in winter, one in glasses filled with 
water, the other in pots or boxes of soil. 

Jonquils. 

Pretty varieties of the Narcissus, having a very agreeable fragrance, adapted to either pots 

or out-door culture. The bulbs being small, six to eight may be put in a six inch pot. 

Lilium (Lily). 
The Liliums are entirely hardy, and with few exceptions quite 
_fragrant and most of the varieties are exceedingly beautiful. 

AURATUM (Gold-banded Lily of Japan). 

CANDIDUM (common white). 

LANCIFOLIUM ROSEUM (rose spotted). 

LANCIFOLIUM RUBRUM (red spotted). 

Lit1um Harristi—Bermuda Easter Lily. Pure whitg, trumpet- 
shaped flowers, very fragrant. The finest lily grown. 

TicriuM fl. pl. (Double Tiger Lily)—Bright orange scarlet 
with dark spots. 


Lily of the Valley. LILY OF THE VALLEY. 


The Lily of the Valley is as hardy as any plant can possibly be, and when planted in the 
open ground will increase pretty rapidly For the house we have what are called 
“pips,’’ young roots with flowering stems that will bloom in a few weeks after plant- 
ing, and will flower well in baskets of damp moss or potted. For the garden we can 
ship either in the spring or autumn. 


Tulips. 

Owing to the late spring frosts, bedding plants cannot safely besplanted before the early 
spring flowering bulbs are through flowering. Without these bulbs, for one or two 
months of beautiful spring weather, our garden would present a bare appearance 
We know of nothing that for the amount of money invested will give a more gorge 
ous show during early spring, and there is nothing more easily grown than the Tulip. 
They thrive well in almost any soil. Should be planted during October and Novem- 
ber. 

Duc VAN THoL—Single and double, early and late. 

MIXED. 


PARROTS—Named varieties.
