N FILLING ORDERS from this list we reserve the right, in case we 
are out of a variety, to substitute another of equal merit when it can

good only when prompt notification on arrival of stock is sent us, stating 
plainly any errors or cause for complaint. 


While we exercise the greatest dilligence and care to have 
all our trees, etc., true to label, and hold ourselves in readiness, on proper 
proof, to replace all trees, etc., that may prove untrue to label free of 
charge or refund the amount paid, it is mutually understood and agreed 
to between the purchaser and ourselves, that the guarantee of genuineness 
shall in no case make us liable for any sum greater than that originally 
received for said trees, etc., that prove untrue.

HINTS ON TRANSPLANTING. 


We cannot urge too strongly the necessity of protecting the roots of trees and 
plants from the sun and wind. The failure of trees to start a vigorous growth after 
transplanting is often caused by too much exposure of the roots to the air or a lack of 
sufficient moisture about-the roots while out of the ground; yet a healthy tree may 
be taken fresh from the ground where it grew, kept in the best possible condition, 
and when ptoperly transplanted die from some unknown cause. A feeble growth is 
usually Suued ie not having the ground in proper condition at the time of trans- 
planting, or by a lack of after-cultivation. 


When the trees are received open the bundles and “‘heel in’? so that the mellow 
earth comes in contact with all the roots. If the ground has been properly prepared 
the holes need not be dug larger than is necessary to receive the roots in their natural 

sition. If the trees are to be planted in sod land the holes should be four or five 
eet in diameter and eight or ten inches deeper than is necessary to plant the tree, 
filling up with well-worked surface soil. : 
Before planting cut away all broken and bruis“d pieces of roots witha sloping cut 
from the underside, and shorten in the branches to one-third of last season’s growth. 
Work the fine soil in among the roots, and when well covered pack firmly. If the 
ground is dry use a bucketful of water to each tree. Fill the hole a little more than 
level full, leaving the surface loose. Never allow manure of any sort to come in con- 
tact with the roots. 


Do not set the trees too deep; one or twoinches deeper than they stood in 
the nursery row is deep enough.

The number of plants required for an acre at any given distance apart may be as- 
certained by dividing the number of square feet in an acre (43,560) by the number of 
square feet given to each plant, which isfound by multiplying the distance between 
the rows by the distance between the plants in the row. For example: Plum trees 
planted Io feet apart each way gives each tree I0o square feet, or 435 trees per acre.

OUR NEW PEACH. . 
_ BETTER QUALITY AND LATER THAN SALWAY; HARDIER THAN CROSBY. 


We introduce for the first time something new in peaches. The 
fruit in the above cut was picked November rst, 1907, from the original 
trees on the grounds of Robert S. West, Thorneycroft Farm, Perry, 
Ohio. The whole crop from this tree, consisting of fifteen half-bushel 
baskets, was picked on that day. Some of the fruit was kept under 
ordinary circumstances until November 28th (Thanksgiving day,) in 
perfect condition. 

The fruit is of large size, meat mellow, beautiful appearance, per- 
fect free stone and of the best quality, being wonderfully hardy in tree 
and bud. We have watched this tree for the past ten years and never 
once failed to have a full crop of fine fruit. 

We have only a limited quantity of these trees to offer this season. 
As long as they last, will furnish them at 50 cents each.

PEACH TREES. 


Peach Trees are one of 
our specialties. We 
grow them only from 
Southern natural seed, 
which is free from Yel- 
lows and other diseases. 


Our location, being 
near the shore of Lake 
Erie, the conditions of 
climate and soil are such 
as to insure the most 
perfect and _ healthy 
trees. 


We have for many 
years supplied some of 
the largest and most suc- 
cessful peach growers 
of the country with trees 
of our growing. We 
point with pride to the 
many large orchards 
that are now bearing 
fruit from our stock.

STRAWBERRIES. 


(ONE OF OUR SPECIALTIES. ) 
75c per 100; $6.00 per 1000. 


On account of the drought this summer and fall, strawberry plants will be 
very scarce this season. We will try as much as possible to take care of all of 
our old customers as long as our stock lasts. 

Strawberries will succeed in any soil that is adapted to ordinary farm or 
garden crops. Soil should be thoroughly prepared to a good depth, well drained 
and enriched. For field culture, set in rows 3 or 34 feet apart, 15 to 18 inches 
in rows; for garden, 15 inches apart each way, leaving pathway every third row. 
Our strawberries are taken from beds set especially to produce plants. Each 
variety kept by itself. Our soil is especially adapted to growing strong and 
healthy plants and we have been very successful in this line of our business. 


Challenge (Per.)---Berries extra size, averaging large as Burbach; good form; 
color dark red all over and clear through; equal to any large berry in firm- 
ness and shipping qualities.

Dear Sir: We planted the pear trees today and I must say I never saw 
nicer trees. They are simply perfect. The 1600 peach trees are planted too 
and they were all very nice. I expect to plant the apples tomorrow. 

I find the count correct in everything except the pears, the Anjou are four 
trees short. There are 21 when there should be 25. Also the two Duchess, 
Dwarf, are missing. There are no indications that any were stolen while heeled 
in, and I believe they were omitted by mistake at the nursery. I have reserved 
the space for them and if you are disposed to send them I can use them yet. If 
you are out of Anjou you may substitute. Yours very truly,

OUR GUARANTEE. 


All goods are guaranteed to reach you in good condition. Mistake, 
if made, will be promptly rectified. Examine and count on receipt, and 


notify us at once should there be any errors or damaged stock. This 
guarantee will not hold good unless above requirements are complied 
with. 


CERTIFICATE OF INSPECTION, showing freedom of our stock from 
San Jose Scale and other injurious insects and diseases, will be attached 


to all freight and express shipments. 


PLEASE NOTICE. 


Being able to give personal attertion to the propagating, grading 
and packing, we feel assured that all stock purchased of us will be de- 
livered in the best possible condition, and will be found exactly as 
represented, as nearly as care and attention can make it. 


Those wanting a large amount of stock should send list of what 
they want for special prices. 


We aim to raise the best stock, graded to the highest standard, 
strongly grown, well rooted and thrifty. 


We think a satisfied customer is the best advertising medium. 


We do not believe in the policy of replacing stock which dies after 
transplanting from natural or other causes. Our experience in the past 
has proven that the practice of replacing free, has a tendency to en- 
courage carelessness on the part of the planter and also to marring to 
some extent the friendly relationship that ought to exist between the 
nurseryman and the planter. The most scrupulous care is exercised in 
the handling of trees from the time of digging until packed for ship- 
ment. No chance for injury to stock before shipment is possible under 
our system. With proper care but very few of our trees fail to grow. 


Our northern location is worthy of special mention. One of the 
great advantages so liberally bestowed upon us by nature is a lovely, 
cool and heathful climate; an atmosphere purified and tempered by the 
balmy breezes of Lake Erie, where fungus diseases are rarely found. 
The soil is a rich loam of wonderful fertility, very rich in nitrogen, and 
underlaid with a porus clay subsoil, eminently adapted to the produc- 
tion of hardy trees, etc. These facts no doubt to some extent account 
for the uncommon vigor of our trees and plants when afterwards trans- 
planted. Our stock always ripens up thoroughly in the fall and goes 
into the winter without danger of being injured by severe frost. A 
comparison will prove that our stock has not the willowy and watery, 
soft growth of Southern or Western grown stock, which no doubt 
accounts in a measure for the large andeincreasing demand for our 
northern grown stock. ‘The wood is firm and hard, the bodies strong, 
while the roots have strong forcing power. Such trees cannot fail to 
make good and profitable orchards.

PREPARATION OF INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES. 


INSECTICIDES (to destroy iusects that feed on plant tissue. ) 
Arsenate of Lead. Used at the rate of 3 lbs, to 50 gal. of water. 
(To destroy insects that suck the sap of plants.) 

Kerosene Emulsion. Dissolve 4 lb hard soap in 1 gal. of water (preferably soft 
water) and while still boiling hot, remove from the fire and add 2 gal. of 
kerosene Stir the mixture violently by driving it through a force pump back 
into the vessel, until it becoms a creamy mass that will not separate. This 
requires from 5 to 10 min. It is then ready to be diluted with water and ap- 
plied. For hard-bodied insects, like the chinch bug, use 1 part emulsion to 
8 or 10 parts water. For plant lice, etc., use 1 part emulsion to 15 parts water. 

Whale Oil Soap. On foliage use at the rate of 1 lb. to 4 gal. of water; in winter 
2 lbs. to 1 gal. of water should be applied. 

Lime and Sulfur Wash (for San Jos Scale and other scale insects). Winter 
treatm ent: slack 50 lbs. stone lime in a little hot water, gradually add 50 lbs. 
of ground sulfur and stir vigorously; boil 1 hr, strain, dilute with water to 
make 150 gal. of wash and apply. It corrodes brass and copper and if a 
pump with brass fittings is used care should be taken to run clear water 
through it after each da’ys spraying. Never boil the wash in a copper kettle. 

FUNGICIDES (to destroy spores of plant diseases. ) 

Bordeaux Mixture. Slack 4 lbs. of stone lime in a small quantity of water and 
when completely slacked add more water and mix thoroughly. Dissolve 5 
lbs. of copper sulfate by placing it in a coarse bag suspendedin water. Dilute 
each with water and pour them into the spray tank simultaneously, taking 
care to strain the lime solution before doing so. Add water to make 50 gal. 
of wash, stir vigorously and it is ready to spray. 

Ammoniacal Carbonate of Copper. Dissolve 6 oz. of copper carbonate in 3 parts 
of ammonia and add water to make 50 gal. As the ammonia is of variable 
strength, only enough should be used to dissolve all the copper carbonate.
