Introduction

In presenting our catalogue for 1910 we desire
to thank our customers for their past patronage and
we solicit a continuation of the same in the future.
We have made the testing of new varieties an im-
portant feature of our business, to the end that we
may from time to time offer our customers such new
varieties aS may prove to be of superior excellence.
The varieties of fruits, ornamentals, ete., listed
throughout this catalogue are the very best of the
many we have tested. We endeavor to grow our
trees by the most approved methods, in fact, both
our trees and varieties are the best we know how to
grow.

We shall in the future, as in the past, strive to
supply our customers with the very best of every-
thing in our line and would appreciate any business
which may be given us.

Very respectfully,
MILLER BROS.

Business Notices.

True to Variety —We guarantee all stock to be
true to name and will replace free of charge, any
which may accidentally prove untrue to label, but
in no case are we to be held responsible bevond
this. |

Time for Delivery---We begin delivering stock
the last of November and continue until. the
first of March. The earlier part of the shipping
season is usually the better time for transplanting.

Packing Trees---Every bill of trees will be well
packed in damp straw and our customers may expect
to receive them in good condition.

Replacing Trees---We do not guarantee trees to
live and therefore we will not replace any that may
die. We agree to deliver them in good condition
and you must do your part by giving your trees the
proper attention.

Agents---We employ agents to introduce our
nursery stock. We endeavor to get good, honest
men for this purpose. Agents pay their own ex-
penses while canvassing and we are therfore not
responsible for their debts.

Selection of Varieties---Where customers de-
sire us to do so, we would be pleased to make the
selection of varieties for them, as weare familiar
with the various kinds and could send a_ suecession
that would not disappoint.

about our honesty and rehability. We are well
known to the people of Lampasas and if you are

company each bill of trees.

Distance For Planting.

Peaches, plums, apricots, ete., 20 feet apart
each way.
Apples and pears, 20 to 25 feet apart each way.

Fruit Department
Peaches.

The peach is the most popular fruitin Texas
---a fact which is shown by the laree number of trees
of it planted annually. The list we offer is superb and

gives a succession from May until November. The
dates given for the ripening of the varieties are those
on which the fruit is due to begin to ripen and _ it
should be remembered the ripening season of any
variety extends over a period of from two to four
weeks,

Price of trees, except where noted, 20 cents
each; $15.00 per 100.

which is so superior in its good qualities that we
propagate no other of its season. Ripens in October

and November.
Plums

Plums are, with the exception of dewberries and

blackberries, the most successful fruit for this section.
They thrive wherever peaches grow, but do best on
high, deep, light soul. Many varieties of plums are
self-sterile or partly so. This means that all such
varieties must receive the proper foreign pollen,
otherwise they will bear little or no fruit. Hence,
in planting plum trees, set them in some part of the
orchard and mix the varieties so that they will pol-
linate each other's flowers.

To avoid the curculio which causes the. fruit to
fall before ripe, keep the ground free from trash

both summer and winter and pick up and destroy all
fallen fruit or let the pigs run in the orchard.

Horticulturists° have divided the varieties of
plums into many classes, but for the purpose of this
catalogue, We make only two divisions, native Plums
and Japan Plums,

Price of trees, except where noted, 25 cents each;
$20.00 per 100.

Native Plums

ADVANCE---We were among the first to fruit this
variety. It has borne in our orchard for a number
of years. Thetree is healthy and prohtfic; fruit large,
red, showy. No finer early plum than this. Ripens
in May. 50 cents each.

We tcom_E---Tree of bushy growth, resembling
the Chickasaw. It bears young and full; fruit large,
white, sweet. Anexcellent plum for its season.
May 25 to 30.

Funxs---We bought our original tree of this
variety directly from the originator. Itis symmet-
rical in growth and bears well; fruit medium size,
round, red, fine quality. June 1.

Wiip Goose---This variety is well known. It
still holds its own as a fine plum of its season. It is
especially valuable for this section and westward.
June 1.

W ooTEN---Similar in tree and fruit to the Wild
Goose, not so large fruit and tree more prolific and
better. This is the variety to plant with the Wild
Goose. -We recommend it.. June 10 to 15.

quality; tree vigorous and prolific; fruit very large,
red, fine. Try the uly 1. 50 cemusteqem
AmeERIcA---Tree very sure and prolific; fruit
medium size, yellow, with red tinge, fine for cooking
and for preserves. Having fruited this variety for
several years we know it to be valuable. July 1.
GoLDEN Brauty---This 1s the best known and
most popular variety ofits type. It bears when
most other varieties fail. Tree moderate grower
and wonderfully prolific; fruit medium size, round,
yellow, fine for jelly and preserves, and for canning;
August 15 to 30.

Japan Plums

Doris---Tree vigorous, healthy and_ prolific;
fruit medium size, round, red. Only a few varieties
of plums can equal this one in quality. It should be
in every orchard; June 5 to 10.

Boran---Tree vigorous, upright and _ prolific;
fruit large, round, purple, very sweet, juicy, rich
and fine. Ever since this variety was introduced it
has been a favorite, owing to its surpassing quality
and other good characteristics; June 10 to 15.

Sutro---Tree remarkably fine grower, although
it shows some signs of early decay, Iii1t were not
for this weakness we would pronounce it the most
wonderful plum ever introduced. The blossoms can
stand more cold than those of most any other
wariety. Wruit’ very large, pure ™iiivewemen. line

quality. It is irregular in its time of ripening, but
usually ripens from the middle to the last of June.

BurBANK---Tree very vigorous, spreading, bears
young and is wonderfully prolific; fruit very large,
round, purple, firm, fine for jelly and preserves and
for canning. This is the most. wonderful bearer;
the fruit must be thinned or the trees cut back every
year, otherwise they will be short lived; June 20 to
30.

NorMAND---Tree vigorous and prolific; fruit very
large, yellow; a better plum to eat than the Burbank.
It has made a fine record wherever planted. No
orchard is complete without it. July 1.

Wickson---Tree vigorous, upright, gracefully
branching and symmetrical; bears young and _ is pro-
lifie; fruit largest size, changing to carmine when
ripe. The tree shows some weakness and sometimes
the fruit rots, otherwise it is a remarkable variety;
July 15 to 20.

CHapot---Tree vigorous, upright and _ prolific.
fruit very large, purple, handsome. The best late
Japan plum. July 20 to 30.

Pears

Pears thrive best on deep, rich, drouth-resisting
land. They are of little value if planted upon shal-
low, poor soil.

Price of trees, 35 cents each. $30.00 per 100.

Cuapp’s Favorire---A well known standard pear
of fine size, appearance and quality; July 25.

BartLeTt---An old, well known variety; fruit of
large size and fine quality, It does not bear young in
this section. August lI.

2 | CemwrOGUE OF Tahep

Le Conte---Tree very vigorous, bears young and
is wonderfully prolific; fruit large, white, mellows
on tree, but its quality is improved by being house-
ripened. The fruit will not keep long aiter it is ripe
and the trees are subject to blight. Plant some for
home use; August.

GARBER---The tree is a wonderful grower and
good bearer; the fruit resembles the Keiffer and
ripens between it and the Le Conte.

Kerrrer---We unhesitatingly recommend this as
the most valuable pear for Texas. The tree bears
young, is not much subject to blight and is enor-
mously prolific. Fruit very large, yellow when
ripe and is handsome. The fruit does not mellow up
well on the tree, but should be hand-gathered in
October and put into paper lined boxes and set ina
cool, dark place. They should be examined occasion-
ally to pick out those which show signs of decay.
Ina few weeks’ time they will be found to be vellow,
mallow, juicy and fine. The fruit is mature enough
by September for cooking, but itwill not mellow up if
gathered that soon, but wilts and loses its flavor.
Owing to the terrible ravages of the blight among so
many varieties, we again urge that nearly all piant-
ines be of the Keiffer. |

Apricots
Apricots are growing In favor from vear to year.
They should be planted in the yard or poultry tot
where the ground will remain firm and the weeds be

kept down. They usually do not bear well when
cultivated, but weeds and grass must be kept from
around them.

We can supply a number of other varieties o

ce

Japan Persimmons.

This is a fine fruit and deserves to be more ex-
tensively planted. Many of the trees will’ die when
youne, but if they onee get a start they will usually
live for years and bear regularly and abundantly.
They are admirably adapted for planting in yards as
they make small trees and are ornamental, especial-
ly when loaded with fruit; best varieties; 50 cents.

Mulberries.

Mulberries are well adapted to our Texas soil and
climate, being healthy and long lived. The _ trees

14 CTS O:G UE -O:F Tap

make good shade and the fruit is valuable for poultry
and hogs, and is relished by some people; 35 cents.
Hicxs---A well known favorite variety. Pro-
duces fruit abundantly for two months,
Travis---Tree of vigorous, symmetrical growth,
making a fine head; fruit large, long, sweet; bears
for two months. If you want mulberries for either
fruit or shade, plant the Travis. It 1s best of all.

Grapes.

While wild grapes grow here in great profusion,
there are only a few cultivated varieties that suc-
ceed. The abundance of lime in the soil is the
greatest drawback to their success here. The future
orapes for this and all similar localities must come
from hybrids of our best varieties with the wild
species indigenous to this section. Price, 25 cents
each, except where noted.

TrrumMPuH---The most successful white grape for
this section; berry large, good quality. Ripens in
Jule

Buack SPaANIsH---Vine vigorous and _ prolific;
bunches large and compact, berry medium size,
finest quality when fully ripe; July.

HeRBEMONT---This is somewhat similar to the
Black Spanish, is equal to it in every respect and
superior in some. Herbemont and Black Spanish
are by far the best old varieties for the southwest;

July 15.
Blackberries.

Blackberries and dewberries are the surest
bearing fruits for this section. They bloom after

LAMPASAS NURSERY 15

frost and ripen before the heat and drouth of sum-
mer. Plant blackberries 2 feet apart in rows, rows
7 feet apart. As soon as the fruit is gathered cut
out the old canes, and top the new ones when they
get 3 feet high.

Dauuas---The best known, most popular and
most extensively planted blackberry in Texas; vine
vigorous, healthy and productive; fruit large and
fine. Plant some of it. Ripens last of May and
first of June. 75 cents per 12; $4.00 per 100.

JORDAN---This is another Texas variety which is
making a fine record in many parts of the state.
The plant is very vigorous and prolific; berries large
and fine. Ripens just after the Dallas.

Dewberries.

Plant dewberries 2 feet apart in rows, rows 4
feet apart. Prune the vines to one foot in length
and remove the old ones as soon as the fruit is
gathered. In planting dewberries and blackberries,
lay plants flat in the furrow and cover 4 inches deep.

Austin-Mays--- Vine vigorous, healthy and _ pro-
ductive; berry largest size; black, sub-acid. This
berry does very well on black land, but is far more
successful on sandy loam soil. The productiveness
of the vines and the size of the berries delight all
who see it, but the fruit is too soft to carry long
distances. Ripens May 15 to 30; 75 cents per 12;
$4.00 per 100.

Strawberries.
Strawberries are successful here only when

16 CHeintenO GUE O Faia

they are mulched and watered. Ourhot dry sum-
mers kill a great many of the plants.

ParKER EARLE---Best variety for the southwest.
50 cents per 12; $2.00 per 100.

plant for Texas, easy to transplant and makes a
beautiful hedge, but is not a true evergreen here.
Nice specimens, 25 cents each; small ones for hedges,

$4.00 per 100.
Roses.

Roses are of all blooming plants the most popu-
lar, and with the introduction of -so many fine

LAMPASAS NURSERY 19

varieties are growing in popularity. No yard is com-
plete without them. Successful rose growing re-
quires good soil, naturally rich or made so by the
addition of leaf mold, ete., careful attention and
plenty of water. In transplanting, they should have
both their tops and roots closely. pruned, the soil
firmly packed around them and thoroughly watered.
If the weather be dry, they should be watered at
regular intervals. All bush roses should have from
one-half to two-thirds of the previous year’s growth
eut off in February ofeach year, but the climbing
varieties should not be pruned so much. If roses
are thus treated, they will give larger blooms’ and
will have longer stems than if not pruned at all.

The varieties of roses we offer are most excel-
lent and are the best for general planting. They are
all grown in the open, are ever-bloomers and will
flower the first year after transplanting, but the
climbers do not, asa rule, produce many blooms
until the second year. We are growing, in addition
to the varieties listed here, many others, both old
and new, and if you do not see in this list what you
want call for them and we ean probably furnish those
you desire.

‘ Most people prefer to wait until February to buy
their roses, but if they are transplanted in December
they are more lable to live, make a better growth,
and will produce more and larger flowers the first
year than they would if transplanted later.

For the various enemies which prey upon roses,
Spray with insect powders, tobacco decoction, or
kerosene emulsion. For mildew, which is caused by

20 Cee a UE OF aaa

eold, damp weather, sprinkle the plants with water,
and dust them with sulphur or soot.

Price of Roses—American Beauty, Mareshal Niel
and Madam Caroline Testout, 50 cents each; all the
others 35 cents each.

AMERICAN BEAuty---This is one of the best known,
most popular and extensively planted varieties to-
day. Flowers very large, beautiful rosy erimson,
delightfully. fragrant. No substitute for it.

THE BripeE---Well known standard white roses;
outer petals usually show pink.

Merreror---As a pure red rose, this has long been
a standard and its popularity seems to be growing as
the years go by. The plant is a free bloomer and the
flowers are large and double.

KAISERINE Atacusta Vicroria---This is the finest
pure white rose known to us. It 1s desirable in both
plant and flower. If you want only one white rose,
let it be the Kaiserine.

EroiLE DE Lyon---One of the finest creamy yellow
roses. The plants are strong growers and. profuse
bloomers, but hke most yellow roses it 1s much af;
fected by mildew and insects.

Maman Cocuer---A strong crower and free blcom-
er; pink; fine in both bud and open, :

Pink LA FRrANcE---This rose is well known. In its
combination of good qualities we do not think there
is anv pink variety superior to it.

WuitE Maman CocHet---This is a sport of the
famous Maman Cochet and is worthy of a place in
any garden. In bloom it is similar to the Bride, but

the plants are of much more vigorous growth than
that variety.

LAMPASAS NURSERY 21

MapaM Carouine TEstout---This is a magnificent
pink rose. It is one of the most truly meritorious
varieties yet introduced and should be in every gar-
den. Those who admire Pink la France should try
Testout by its side.

Mapam Masson---The plant is vigorous, upright
in growth, free bloomer, and in flower. as compared
with Meteor, is larger and of slightly different tint of
eolor. One of the very finest red roses. Plant it.

HELEN GouLp---This is another new variety of
great merit. It is fine in both plant and bloom. The
blooms are large, carmine-crimson, in color some-
what similar to the American Beauty.

Trpiitz---The most unique of any rose we know.
In color it is a most brillant red or crimson. It at-
tracts attention in any yard.

Climbing Roses

MaRESHAL NEIL---The most famous vellow rose
in the world today. Wherever it succeeds, nothing
equals it. It is sometimes injured by cold and is
hard to grow here.

Mrs. Ropert Peary---This is the same as Climb-
ing Kaiserine. No finer white climber than it.

CLIMBING PEARLE---Yellow.

CLIMBING MEreror---Red.

CLIMBING LA FRANCE---Pink.

Flowering Bulbs

Mexican Tuberoses
We are growing the variety introduced by Mr.
Ramsey, of Austin. It is a pure white, single, and
is the finest known. It is, so far as we know, the

only tuberose which flowers year after year from the

same bulb; the young roots also producing flower

stems. In this way it forms large clumps, often
having 15 or more large spikes in full bloom at
one time. Theimmense spikes of bloom are borne
in great profusion and will keep fresh and fragrant
for weeks if placed in vases of water. The trans-
planted bulbs will begin to bloom the following June
and will flower continually until frost if they are
given sufficient attention to be kept growing’ during

the hot dry weather. Price of bulbs, 50¢ per dozen.
