GEO. W. CAMPBELL.

Departed this life July 15th, 1898. Wonderful as a propagator, artist and in
mechanical skill, refined and a true gentleman in all his social and business
life, a devoted husband and father, a steadfast faithful friend, beloved by
all who knew him. Truly one of God’s noblemen. We shall never see his
like again.

TO OUR & #28422
CORRESPONDENTS

IN the year 1879, we commenced the
Nursery business in a small way, Grape-
Vines being our specialty. We after-
wards added Small Fruits, but never
found it advisable to grow other stock,
De Cause Om DUSinessmncicasedm year
after year, until we eRe cue Cenc the largest growers of American Grape-Vines inthe World. It is now
well known that in all important occupations, specialists are most successful. An old Nursery-
man recently complimented me by saying, ‘I always read your advertisements and circulars
because there seems to be considerable individuality about them, something which cannot be
copied by others.” I replied that, having been in this business about a quarter of a century if I
was not able to furnish advertisements, etc. which could not be appropriated by any Nursery
concern in its infancy I should feel very much like either not advertising at all or quitting the
Nursery business altogether.

If there is a single general Nursery, (no matter how large,) which now does a large busi-
ness in growing Grape-Vines, we do not know where it is located. The trade in our specialties
has for several years taxed the capacity of our entire plant to its utmost extent, and we are
entirely contented with the situation, and have no desire to go into additional Nursery business.
We have found that most purchasers prefer their Grape-Vines and Small Fruits direct from the
grower, and we decided, some years since, to sell stock of our own growing, exclusively. The
Grape-Vines, Currants, Gooseberries, Blackberries and Strawberries offered herein are warranted
grown by us, and it is therefore unnecessary to say that it will be the cheapest and best way to
order direct, whatever you may desire of our products.

We winter all our salable Grape-Vines, Currants, Gooseberries and Blackberries in our
large, frost-proof, stone cellars, which for convenience and capacity, excel all others in our State,
used for such products.

And here let us emphasize the fact, that there is no use in leaving more than three buds
upon a grape-vine prepared for planting. Never mind what the dealer says. If he delivers
you a grape plant with a /ong cane, claiming that it is a ‘fruiting vine,” and really believes
that all vines should not be cut back to two or three buds at planting-time, he does not under-
stand the business. These long-top vines are generally from localities where a good-sized
grape plant cannot be grown in any reasonable time. Our two-year vines have all been trans-
planted, and by our method of planting and digging, we get nearly every particle of the roots.
But the long-cane ‘‘ fruiting vines”’ are left in the ground two, three, or four years; the roots
run all over the neighborhood, and cannot be dug (except by hand, generally costing more than
the price of the vine) without sadly mutilating the roots, leaving only aged stubs, about as
destitute of fibre as a billiard ball, which the vendor offers with the offset of a /ong cane.
According to our experience, such vines cannot be given away to any intelligent vineyardist.
We fully believe that not one grape-vine in twenty which is sold to amateurs, produces a good
crop of first-quality fruit, because the top is not cut back sufficiently during the first two years
of its life in the garden. Many of our largest customers who buy our heaviest grades of grape-

vines, now order the tops cut back to about six inches in length. They know that good, large
roots, not tops, are needed.

, We have found, from long experience, that the room occupied in our vineyards by the
following varieties, was generally more valuable than their company. And although they may
be desirable in collections, or in particular localities under certain favorable circumstances, we -
cannot recommend them for general culture. We have, therefore, eliminated most of them
from our grounds and their descriptions from this Catalogue. And as we believe much better
selections can be made from our list, we advise our customers that, for various reasons, the’
following are not generally desirable: viz., Antoinette, Allen’s, Alvey, Arnold’s, Beauty, Belinda,
Black Defiance, Black Pearl, Carlotta, Challenge, Conqueror, Creveling, Croton, Cunningham,
Early Dawn, Elsinburgh, Essex, Faith, Golden Drop, Hermann, Highland, Irving, Imperial,

CARE OF STOCK RECEIVED FROM US.

_

Should the stock arrive in very cold weather, do not unpack, but cover it up in a cool
cellar where the frost will come out very gradually. Remember, it is not the freezing which
hurts the plants, but rapid thawing, with exposure to light, heat or air. :

If weather will permit, the stock can be ‘‘ heeled in”’ in some sheltered place, not too cold
in Winter, nor warm in Spring or Autumn. The process of ‘‘ heeling in”’ is to dig a trench large
enough to hold the roots, then cover the roots with earth, and in Winter the tops also, of vines
and plants with straw or leaves. If there is no frost in the box, the best way is to unpack the
plants within twenty-four hours after arrival; then remove all packing from the box, and without
crowding the vines, lay them back in the box, neither too wet nor too dry, (just moist,) in a
cellar of about forty degrees temperature. .

eR PY

GRAPES

Plant Grapes for vineyards, in rows eight feet apart, and from six to eight feet apart in the
row, according to the habit of growth of the variety. Dig holes about ten inches deep, and
large enough that the roots may be spread out naturally, without one root crossing another.
In dry days, it is better not to have many holes dug ahead of the planting, as the earth will be
moister if freshly dug. Put the finest and best earth at bottom of hole and among the roots,
and the coarsest and poorest earth at top. While planting, care must be taken that the roots
do not become dry. To prevent this, it is customary to carry them about the field in a bucket
or tub partly filled with water, after the tops are cut back to two or three buds. Always give
good cultivation, and the first Autumn, cut back to four or six buds and cover the vine with
earth. Uncover in Spring as soon as frost is out, and after the buds start, leave only the two
best buds and rub off all others as they appear. Let two canes grow the second year; they
will probably get to be some five or eight feet long; if so, cut one of them back to three buds,

and the other to within four feet of the ground, to bear. This severe pruning in their early
youth, together with good culture, will give them such a good send-off, that they will ever after
bear you bountiful crops of their luscious fruit. When five or six years old, from three to five
canes may be left. Remember always to cut the old wood back, as it is the young wood only
that bears fruit. Grape-Vines may be trained against buildings, fences, or on stakes, trellises,
etc. Wire trellises, about five to six feet high, are best for vineyards.

DESCRIPTIVE LIST

In this List we have endeavored to give short descriptions, resulting from extended obser-
vations, which will prove of some value to patrons. To praise a grape, and insist that it is just
the grape for customers to invest in, because it succeeds in one’s own vineyard, or to condemn
it for reasons the reverse, only demonstrates inability or unwillingness to see beyond one’s own
garden fence. There is no grape on this or any other List, which thrives everywhere ; neither do

we know of one on this List, which has not its friends in some localities.

AGAWAM (Rogers No. 15)—One of
the most reliable of .the hybrid grapes.
Bunches large, berries very large. Dark
red. Ripens with or soon after Concord,
and is of peculiar, aromatic flavor.

gust. Healthy, and of good quality and
flavor. Bunch large. Color purple. Not
very desirable.

BLACK EAGLE—Black, hybrid. Bunch
and berries large, moderately compact; ripens

BRIGHTON—Dark red. One of the
most desirable of the early red grapes.
Very large and handsome. Clusters under
favorable conditions, are more uniform than
those of any other grape we know. Ripens
soon after Hartford. Should be planted
near by other varieties, as its blossoms do
not always fertilize when alone. The quality
of its fruit is best at early ripening.

BRILLIANT—A beautiful red grape,
which has been tested in various States,
North and South, receiving high commenda-

tion. A strong grower, healthy and hardy.

Color much resembles Delaware, but bunches
and berries are larger. Quality very good.

dium size, berry large, very vigorous and
productive. One of the earliest grapes,
somewhat similar to Hartford; desirable on
account of its early ripening. Quality poor.

CLINTON— Black. Late. Desirable
for wine or preserving. Bunch and berry
small; very healthy and hardy. Fruit should
hang on the vine until after first frost, to be
thoroughly ripe.

later than Concord, which it resembles in

and productive. Bunch and berry medium
and very compact. One of the best white
wine grapes at the South.

localities.

THE SAN JOSE SCALE.

We have never had this pest on our grounds or premises. We believe the best
way to manage this scale is to KEEP IT OUT and have used strenuous methods
to accomplish this. We have observed that one easy way to acquire this scale is
to exchange stock with ‘Tom, Dick and Harry” from anywhere and everywhere.
We haven’t made an exchange deal for stock in more than fifteen years and don’t
propose to begin.

Although it is often stated that the originators of new fruits never get much benefit from their
productions, it is safe to say here, that in this respect the success of Fay’s Prolific is unparallel-
ed, as up to this date I have paid to the heirs of the originator OVER FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
IN CASH as their share from my sales of Fay Currant plants. This is now the leading Currant,
and its best reeommendation is its enormous sale, constantly increasing. My stock of Fays is
and always has been propagated from wood from original stock onthe Fay Farm. I sell more of
them than all other varieties combined, although I try to grow whatIcansell of all kinds.

NOTE—Comet (new)—Our stock was imported by us from England, where it
is claimed to be superior to all other Red Currants and has received unanimous vote
for Reward of Merit by Royal Horticultural Society of England. 40 cents each, or

three for $1.00.

GOOSEBERRIES

The curse of Gooseberries is mildew. This mildew comes like a thief in the night, and
after it arrives, the damage is done, and there is no use in trying to cure the plants; at least this
is according to our experience. Some two or three years since, liver of sulphur was recom-
mcndéd as a preventive. We tried it faithfully, but it was a complete failure, and the
experiment cost us more than $50.00 There are many varieties of Gooseberries which thrive
in England, etc.; but practical fruit growers have found, to their sad experience, that English
Gooseberries and their seedlings are a failure in America. To avoid mildew and get a crop of
Gooseberries, plant the Josselyn, which has never mildewed, to our knowledge. The market for
Gooseberries seems to be never half supplied, and the demand for this fruit largely increases
each year. The culture of Gooseberries should be nearly the same as for Currants. Use
white hellebore, to prevent or destroy worms, same as for Currants. When planted, the tops
should be cut back nearly to the crown. In our soil we can grow stronger Gooseberry roots
in one year, than can be done in most localities in two years. All that has been previously
herein stated concerning the value of ‘tops and roots’”’ in grape-vines, is likewise applicable
to Gooseberries.

INDUSTRY—We have never met a
man yet, who has planted this Gooseberry
and succeeded with it. It mildews here
badly, if it does not die before the mildew
arrives. We consider this Gooseberry a
failure. .

Gooseberry known. For ten years it has
stood close to Triumph, Crown Bob, White-
smith, Smith’s Improved, Downing, and -
more than a dozen other sorts: and while
these others have all mildewed in leaf and
fruit, mildew has never appeared on the

Josselyn.

MOUNTAIN—Red. In many particu-
lars it resembles Houghton, but is decidedly
an imprevement on that variety.

PEARL—Pale green in color. We are
pleased with this Gooseberry on our grounds,
and although we do not consider it equal in
general value to Josselyn, it has many good .
qualities.

SMITH’S IMPROVED—Large. Pale

orous.

TRIUMPH — Color yellow. Fruit of

enormous size. Great productiveness.

CURRANTS

as soon as, or before the worms appear.

In our soil we can grow stronger Currant roots in one

year than can be done in most localities in two years. All that has been previously stated
concerning the value of ‘: tops and roots” in Grape-vines, is likewise applicable to Currants. -

BLACK CHAMPION — Black. The
largest of the black Currants. Is new here,
but much grown and valued in England.

BLACK NAPLES—tThe best old, biack

variety.

CHERRY—Red. The largest of all,
except Fay’s Prolific. Very popular in mar-
ket, and brings several cents more per quart
than any other old variety. Although others
may say that Cherry and Versailles are one
and the same, we have both varieties pure
and distinct, each with its peculiar charac-
teristics.

FAY’S PROLIFIC—tThis new Currant
has greatly exceeded all expectations of the
proprietor of this establishment, who is the
introducer of Fay’s Prolific, and who is often
almost blamed by many in the trade who
assert that we never claimed nearly enough
for it. It is so good, and succeeds so well
in so many localities, that not only the intro-
ducer but aiso the heirs of the originator,
have received quite a fortune from sales of
the plants. That ali other varieties of red
Currants have been superseded by Fay’s Pro-
lific, seems to be a fact, and the constant
increase in demand for the plants is the best
evidence of this. We have already paid the
heirs of Lincoln Fay, the originator, over
forty thousand dollars m cash as their share
from oun Sales of hayes) ironic, sin) whic
we have much pride. as this is about the
first instance where the originator has re-
ceived anything like a decent compensation
Tomathe, sales of a good, mew fruit. What
the Fay Currant is the standard red Currant
seems to be true, as we sell more of them
than all other Currants combined, and from
other nurserymen we hear like experience.
We frequently hear of some old or new Cur-
rant destined to supersede all others, espe-
cially the Fay. We have tried to keep posted,

and have carefully examined the fruit of all
these so far as heard from. But, while insome
ways desirable, not one of them, on account
of size and appearance, will sell beside the
Fay, ainvany city of country market: The
ladies have reasons of their own for selecting
and paying more per quart for the largest,
most attractive and beautiful berries. We
shall welcome a better Currant than the Fay
at any time, but such has not yet appeared.

In addition to pruning the old wood lib-
erally each year, about one-half of the new
wood of the Fay should be clipped off each
Autumn or Winter. Our original claim and
description was:

Color, red. As compared with the Cherry
Gurrant, <“Pay's "Prolifics. is equals i size;
better in flavor, much less acid, five times
as prolific, and from its peculiar stem, /ess
expensive to pick. That spurious Fay plants
have been sold, doubtless by the million is
not the fault of the introducer.

LEE’S PROLIFIC — Black. Prolific.

LONDON MARKET — Red. Size,

MOORE’S RUBY—Light red. Late

not very acid. Fine for table or family use.

NORTH STAR—Red. A rapid grower,
very hardy and excellent quality. On our
grounds the size of the fruit has never been
large enough to compete with Fay’s, Cherry
or Victoria, and we have heard like complaint
from others. But in Summer of 1895 we
saw at a friend’s, a block of North Star,
which showed bunches and berries of very
good size. Possibly our friend had more
suitable soil than others for this particular
variety, and we were glad to see the North
Star show up so well.

logue, but for eleven years the Massachusetts

BLACKBERRIES

The Blackberry is naturally a stronger bush than the Raspoerry, and should be planted in
rows eight feet apart and three feet in the row. They should also not be pinched off, until three
and one-half feet high, nor should they be so closely pruned in Spring; otherwise their culture

is the same.

Where land is scarce, they may be planted three by five feet apart and tied up

to stakes When Blackberries are planted, tops should be cut nearly to the crown, allowing

only three or four canes to grow, the first year.

STRAWBERRIES

The best time to plant Strawberries is in early Spring, and on fertile, well manured land.
lf horses are to be used in cultivating, plant in rows three and one-half to four feet apart and
one foot in the row; but for hand culture one by two feet will answer. Each bed should bear -
two crops. When Strawberries are planted if the ground is not wet we fill every hole full
of water before the plant is inserted in the ground. If quantity of plants warrants we use a
horse with barrels of water on a stone-boat. The following varieties have run out with us or
have been superseded by newer and better kinds, therefore we do not offer any more Belmont
Beverly, Bidwell, Capt. Jack, Crawford, Cumberland, Ideal, Isabella, Jas. Vick, Jersey Queen,
Kentucky, Manchester, Mary, May King, Miner’s Prolific, Old Iron Clad, Parry, Princess,
Windsor Chief and Wilson. The same Strawberry never fruits best two years in succession
with us.

Note.—T hose marked (P) are pistillate, ‘‘ have blossoms imperfect,”’ and should have a row of some staminate variety
within fifteen feet. or they will usually produce imperfect fruit.

We have reduced our long list of Strawberries to the following varieties which we consid-
er-the very best. In many years of experience we have observed that the Strawberry bed
needs new blood, So the new varieties in most cases succeed the best.

CLIMA X—Very early. Extra high qual-
ity. Very firm and productive.

EXCELSIOR—Extra early. One of the
very best in quality and quantity of fruit. A
good shipper.

GLEN MARY—Very vigorous, firm,
enormously productive. A good family or
market berry; medium early.

JOHNSON’S EARLY—Very early. Is
the great market berry in vicinity of New
York. Never heard of its being affected with

ductiveness. Berries large, dark. red and
fruit firm. | Succeeds about everywhere.
Medium early.

MARSHALL—A model berry in shape,
color and size, firm, fine flavor and produc-
tive. Originated in Massachusetts. Early.

NEW YORK—Medium to late. Berries
large and attractive. Very prolific, and long
season,

NICK OHMER — Early to very late.
Berries large and beautiful. Very popular and
the demand for this variety is constantly
increasing.

PRIDE OF CUMBERLAND— Ripens

large, firm, good shipper and very product-
ive.

SAMPLE (P)—Sample proved biggest
berry and best cropper among two hundred
varieties fruited by Prof. Maynard at Am-
herst Agricultural College, Mass. It has
yielded at the rate of one hundred bushels

_ per acre on an OLD BED. In former years

with us it not only produced the best crop
and largest berries in our collection but also
brought more money per quart than any
other variety. |

SENATOR DUNLAP—Good size,
bright red, firm, good keeper and shipper,
excellent quality, ripens early and continues.

WM. BELT—Medium season. Very
large size. Good cropper. Brilliant glossy
red. Quality good.

RASPBERRIES

Plant Raspberries in rows six to seven feet apart, and two and one-half to three feet apart
.n the row, and from two to five inches deep according to the nature of the soil. Prune canes
back to one and one-half or two feet from the ground, one year after planting. When new
growth gets to be about two feet high, the second season, pinch off the tip ends; and when the
laterals have grown a foot long, pinch again. This makes them stocky. In the Spring following,
prune to a round-headed bush, clipping off about one-third of the wood. In this way, fine crops
of large fruit may be grown, and the vigor of the bushes kept up. On sucker-sorts, leave four
or five canes to the hill. -All others must be hoed off, same as weeds. In small gardens the
plants may be planted three by four feet apart, and the canes tied up to stakes. The canes
should not be pinched until three feet high.

Campbell’s Early Grape.

Planters of this grape will find herein some very important information on
this subject.

Points of special merit in Campbell’s Early Grape are:

A very strong, vigorous, hardy vine, with thick, healthy, mildew-resisting fol-
lage and perfect, self-fertilizing blossoms; and bearing abundantly. Clusters
very large, usually shouldered, compact and handsome without being unduly
crowded, Berries large, nearly round, often an inch or more in diameter; black
with light purple bloom; skin thin but very tenacious, bearing handling and
shipping admirably. Flavor rich, sweet, slightly vinous; pure with no foxiness
coarseness or unpleasant acidity from the skin tothe center. Flesh rather firm
but tender and of equal consistency, parting easily from its few and small seeds.
As more than one-third of the American people do not and will not swallow grape
seeds, we consider this a strong point in favor of Campbell’s Early and a matter
of trade well worth earnest attention, for as the late Prof. Lintner, New York
State Entomologist, well said in his letter, previously published by us, ‘‘No
GRAPE SEEDS MAY BE SAFELY SWALLOWED.’’ Its early ripening is at the same time
with Moore’s Early and at that time the quality of Campbell’s Early is fully as
good as Moore’s Early. After that time the quality of Campbell’s Early steadily
improves for from two to six weeks so its season is not only very early but is
also medium and late. In short you can pick them from early to late as you
choose. Moore's Early, Worden, Concord etc. will not stay on the vines in this
way. Campbell’s Early, with us, bears about three times the amount of fruit as
does Moore’s Early. It has very remarkable keeping qualities. In different
years it has hung upon the vines in our own vineyard sound and perfect, for
TEN WEEKS or more after ripening, with no tendency to shell off or fall from the
stems. A fewclusters were put in cold storage on September 15th and taken
out the 15th of December, apparently as perfect as when stored, and seeming as
though they might have been kept in good condition until Spring. As a good
keeper and shipper it is believed to be unequaled by any other American grape.

Campbell’s Early vines are now being bought in large lots by careful, wide
awake vineyardists who want a grape which will hang on the vines, will not:
crack and which will keep and can be marketed at advantageous times instead
of having to be forced on the market on some special day to avoid cracking and
shelling. These vineyardists want a grape which will bring profitable returns
instead of possible losses and which will fill the bill for people who are able and
willing to pay a better price sor something better in quality than the common
kinds of grapes.

“We have never known a bud of Campbell’s Early to be hurt by frost. In our
own vineyard they have stood 18 degrees below zero without any injury.

Campbell’s Early is inclined to overbear, so when this occurs THE BLOSSOMS
(OR FRUIT WHEN SMALL) SHOULD BE THINNED OR THE VINE AND FRUIT WILL PROBABLY
SUFFER THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

We have had unpleasant experience resulting from the overbearing of this
grape the first fruiting year. It isa short jointed variety and in the first bearing
year of our vineyard the-crop was simply immense. ‘The vines were heavily
loaded with large, beautiful clusters, and feeling we had a larger crop than had
ever been seen before on young vines, we invited the principal vineyardists in our
vicinity to see for themselves our vineyard. The next year showed that the big
crop had weakened and nearly ruined the vines. ‘They made very little growth
of wood with bunches plenty but small and poorly filled. IN sHorT, THE ROOTS
WERE NOT OLD ENOUGH AND CONSEQUENTLY NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO CARRY THE
IMMENSE CROP OF THE PRECEDING YEAR.

Campbell’s Early Grape—Continued.

We were at first considerably disheartened and were almost inclined to pull
out and burn all the vines. Fortunately we did not do this, as we next season
cut off nearly all the blossoms, gave good cultivation and the next year we were
able from this same vineyard to show at the Pan-AmeERICAN bigger bunches and
more of them than were shown of any other grape. ‘The next year we had
double the wood that we had the previous year. The vineyard is now in elegant
condition, I do not know of a thriftier one.

We believe the usual practice of pruning Campbell’s Early is to leave too much
wood. On old vines we leave only 3 to 4 canes, each 12 to 18 incheslong. We
use 3 wires respectively 24 inches, 36 inches and 60 inches from the ground. We
train from lower wire, tie to second wire and later in season tie new shoots to top
wire.

We showed this grape at the World’s Fair at St. Louis in 1904, and Pan-Amer-
ican Exhibition in a (tous) new method. Weshowed it in plates in the usual
way and that those interested might have an opportunity to taste them, we put
them in by the hundred baskets. Judging by the number of orders we have re-
ceived from this way of showing and giving away of the fruit we conclude that
we don’t care to show fruit in future in any other way.

Medals, ete.

At World’s Fair, St. Louisin year 1904 we were awarded the only gold medal
given to any individual or firm for out of door grown grapes and about ninety per
cent of our Exhibition was Campbell’s Early.

We were awarded Gold Medal, Silver Medal and Diploma from the Pan-Amer-
ican Exhibition in 1901. Wilder Silver Medal in 1897 also Wilder Silver Medal
in 1901 from American Pomological Society. Medal of Excellence from Ameri-
can Institute in 1897.

Campbell’s Early has taken First Premiums too numerous to mention and
when placed in competition with other varieties, and properly scored, there
isn’t another black grape in America which can stay in its company.

Josselyn Gooseberry.
A Magnificent Success. It Has No Rival.

If you have not this gooseberry you have not the best and most profitable one
in the World. In recent years we have had no occasion to push the sale of the
Josselyn. Although we devote several acres to the propagation of this gooseberry
we are obliged every year to decline numerous orders for these plants on
account of increase in demand being greater than our increase in production.

‘Testimonials.

We have usually printed a large number of testimonials from friends of these
fruits. As we view the large number of new ones on hand which we have never
printed we see we have not nearly enough room for them all. Our kind friends
mostly like to see their good words in print after they have taken the trouble to
write them, so as we cannot print them all we do not print any in this issue.
