ENTOMOLOGIST’S CERTIFICATE.
University of Nebraska, Lincoln.
This is to certify that on September 12, 1911, I ex-
amined personally the growing Nursery Stock and
premises of the Galbraith Nursery Co., DeWitt Hansen,
Megr., Fairbury, Neb., and found no San Jose Seale,
nor indications that it had ever been present in the
nursery or its vicinity. The stock is apparently in a
healthy condition and free from all other dangerous
insect pests and fungus diseases.
This certificate is good for one year from date,

Asst. State Entomologist.
GENERAL INFORMATION—PLEASE READ.
Prepaid Freight—We pay the freight on Orders of
$10.00 or over, to any freight station in the United
States. No charge for box. If you prefer your order
of ten dollars cr over to go by Express we will put
it in a bale and pay as much on the Hxpress as the
freight would amount to. This scheme has proven
very satisfactory and we advocate its use. Tree ship-
ments take a discount of 20 per cent from regular
merchandise rates which makes the rate very low. We
have Express Companies as follows: United States,
Wells-Fargo, Adams, Great Nerthern, Nortbern and
Southern.
Packages of 40 pounds or less usually go as cheap
by express as by freight.
It happens sometimes, through our railroad agents’
mistake, that boxes are not fully prepaid. In such
cases, pay the freight, send us the bill and we will re-
mit to you.
Acknowledgment of Order—As soon as your order is
received at this office it is numbered and copied in dup-
licate. One copy is mailed to you at once. Examine
this copy closely and see that all names, numbers, ship-
ping points, ete., are copied correctly. In ease you
find error please "notify us by return mail. This will
aviod mistakes. Customers should always keep a copy
of their order when it is sent in. If you do not re-
ceive this copy within a week (according to distance
from Fairbury) notify us.
Notice of Shipment—We notify persons of all ship-
ments. If it is by freight, we send bill of lading the
day the box is shipped. If it is sent by Express we

we will tie erch order separate and pack in one box.
Persons sending in these club orders are requested to
tell us what they wish for their trouble. We will
gladly add extra stock for your trouble or can allow
you a small cash commission, according to the size of
the order.
Verms of Payment—On account of the low prices at
which we seli our stock, we do not go to the troub’e
of keeping book accounts. We require ail cash with
the order. In large orders of ten dollars or over we

Directions for Transplanting, Care of Stock, Etc.
Care of Stock on Arrival.—Upon arrival of box or
package, place it in a shed, barn or cellar away from
sun, take off the cover and thoroughly wet down with
water and allow it to stand twelve hours or over night
before removing the stock. (Excepting Raspberry tips
and Strawberry plants, which should be at once heeled
in soil.) Then make ready a trench fourteen inches
deep and as soon as stock is removed from the pack-
age, heel it in this trench, giving the roots plenty of
mellow soil, well pressed down with the feet. If soil is
dry, moisten it with water after heeling in; the trees
are then ready for planting and should only be taken
out as needed. If frozen, no water should be applied,
but they should at once be buried in earth until all
frost is out, and they will not be injured.
Soil.—Should be high and well drained, either natural
or artificial, by means of tile drainage. Low land,
continually saturated with water will not do. It must
be deeply plowed and in perfect condition. Never plant
fruit trees in sod. The land should be in as good con-
dition as for a crop of wheat or potatoes. If any crops
are grown in the young orchard let it always be a hoed
crop plant and nothing nearer than four feet on each
side of the tree. If you want trees to grow well, be
vigorous and strong, you must give them plenety of
food and good cultivation until August 1st, when all
cultivation should cease, to allow new wood to thor-
oughly ripen up before cold weather, which it will not
do if kept growing by cultivation after that date.
Pruning.—Is most important. In digging, more or
less roots are lost of necessity. The top then must be
cut back to even up for loss of roots. Leave only four
or five branches and cut these back to four or five buds.
Peaches are best trimmed to a whip and cut back to
not more than two or three feet high. Remove all the
broken roots and branches and with a sharp knife cut
the ends of the roots back to clean, healthy wood. This
helps to start root growth. Fibres occupy the relation
to the roots that leaves do to the branches, they die
and are succeeded by another lot yearly, and are of
no more value to the roots than dead leaves would be
to the branches. Hence you want plenty of large and
small, hard and clean roots, and the less fibres the bet-
ter.
7elanting.—Make holes plenty large, so as not to
crowd the roots. Use surface for filling in, and plant
as firm as possible, pressing soil well down with the
feet. See that roots are well spread out and soil firmly
around them—don’t hurry the job, do it well, and sue-
cess is certain. After planting, each tree should be
well mulched for two or three feet out with coarse
manure. This prevents drying and is better than wat-
ering. The trees should not be long exposed to sun and
air. Never put any manure in the holes with the roots.
It causes decay.
NO. OF PLANTS PER ACRE AT GIVEN DISTANCES.
To ascertain the number of plants required for an
acre at any given distance, divide 43,560, (the number
of square feet in an acre) by the distance between the
plants in the rows multiplied by the distance between
the rows.
EXAMPLE: Plants set in rows 4 feet apart with the
plants 2 feet apart in the rows, gives each plant 8
square feet; 45,560 divided by 8 gives 5,445 plants per
acre.
A FEW REMARKS BEFORE
ORDER.
MAKING OUT THE
What Constitutes Tree WValue.—The experienced tree
planter now days demands the highest type of tree that
Figs. 1 and 3 shows trees as they come
from the nursery. Figs. 2 and 4 show,
the same trees propertly pruned back,
for planting.
The first cost of the tree is small com-
pared to the returns to be expected. The best trees
procurable are the cheapest in the end. Tree prices
are bound to advance because experienced help costs
more money and the “better the stock, the higher the
cost of production.’”’ Do not get it into your mind that
because an agent asks you an enormous price for a
tree that you are going to get some _ great value.
“PRICE IS NOT AN INDICATION OF QUALITY.’
Thousands on thousands of trees are sold every year
at unheard of prices which are absolutely worthless.
There is only one way that the planter can guard him-
self, and that is to buy from a house whose reputa-
tion is good without question. A house who has been
in the business over a long period of time and whose
methods are known to be fair and honest and who has
kept pace with the latest developments and methods in
scientific and practical tree growing.
Variety and Selection—-Use judgment in ordering var-
jieties. Cater to those varieties which have proved them-
selves good in your section. Do not fill your orchard
up with a mixture, but start with a few reliable
commercial sorts and stick to it. On your selection
of varieties depends the extent of your success,
Planting Season.—Pianting season is not regulated by
date or by the planters’ season, but by the condition of
the stock to be planted. If the tree is grown right, is
dormant when received and then properly handled, its
suecess is assured. Our trees are grown right, packed
right, and if cared for right, will grow. Please see
instructions for planting.
Fillers for the App'te Orchard.—We strongly advise
the use of fillers in the Apple orchard until the trees
become about ready to crown each other. We recom-
mend that Cherry or Pear be used as fillers in an
Apple orchard, but Peach should not be used. fillers
must be cut out before they begin to crowd ont the
main trees or the whole orchard will be ruined.
Cross Pollenization.—Do not plant solid blocks of any
one variety, but have a different variety every three or
four rows.

VALUE OF THE APPLE.—Without question the apple is the King of Fruits. It has by far the largest
sale of any fruit grown and the supply has never exceeded the demand. This year the apple crop for the
whole United States amounted to about 33,000,000 bushels of which about 7,000,000 were exported to Europe,
leaving about 26,000,000 bushels for this country witha population of 90,000,000 people, so you can readily
understand that the apple business is not overdone, in fact, the production today is not over one-third
what it should be. Of course, we are talking about apples that have received care and attention. There
is no market for apples that have not been sprayed, cultivated and properly sorted, except for cider and
vinegar.
If you have an apple orchard on your place and it has not been paying, it is your own fault and not
the fault of the trees. Any country that will produce a crop of apples is as good an apple country as any
section of the United States, but you cannot reap any reward from an orchard that does not receive proper
care, no more than you can harvest a crop of corn that has been neglected. Any crop of apples that has
ueen. peo penly cared for will bring five to ten times the net profit that the same area of land would when
planted in corn.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE APPLE.—Purchasers should know that the varieties which we are handling
nowadays are not like the same varieties which were planted thirty to fifty years ago. The character of the
apple has been raised by an ever faithful and careful watch of the wood that we use in propagating our stock.
If you will go through an old orchard you will notice that some of the Winesap trees bear better fruit
than other Winesap trees. The same thing applies to other varieties. By careful selection we have, year
after year, bred from these best trees only, thereby raising the quality of the apple, the size and product-
iveness.
ONE YEAR APPLE—ONE YEAR TOPS ON THREF YEAR ROOTS.—You will notice that we are advo-
eating very strongly the planting of one year old apple trees. Our reasons for doing this are many. First,
the tree receives less shock or check in transplanting, they come into bearing sooner, live longer, bear bet-
ter, develop sooner on their own roots, and make better orchard trees. Second, they cost less to buy, cost |
less to plant, and are especially adapted to shaping or training to suit the individual taste. Third, and the
particular point that we want you to remember: Heretofore, one year apple trees have been raised by graft-
ing in the spring, planting and growing one year, then digging and putting them on the market in the fall. |
This gives you a one-year-old top on a one-year-old inferior root. This method has been abolished entirely
by us and our one year old tops are grown on a three-year-old root. Consequently, our trees at one year
old, have as much root as the two-year-olds of other nurseries.
We are able by this method to produce one year old tops on three-year-old roots in all sizes from two
to five feet in height. This system always gives a stronger and heavier body to the tree. The old system
of raising one year grafts gave us a very limber switch like tree, but by our system we have a heavy body
which does not whip around in the wind, which is slightly branched, perfectly straight, very heavy rooted
and free from any blemishes whatever. The roots on these trees are heavy and do not run to fibrous roots
as by the old grafting process and you find no enlarging of the root at the union of the scion.
BEWARE OF FAKES.—We wish to warn all prospective customers against such frauds. This is simply
a means to get a higher price out of the product than it is actually worth. You all know that various
schemes are worked in all lines of trade to get exorbitant prices out of various articles. They are not sold by
straight and honest methods, but by HOT AIR. This same trick is worked yearly in the Nursery business
perhaps more than in any other line of trade. The sensible man avoids such fakes. Let the other man get
stung first. We are in a position to do as much of this HOT AIR GRAFTING as any other Nursery in the
world. We do not do it because we know that it does not pay in the long run. You can get a customer
once on such tricks, but you cannot keep him. We must have our customers year after year or our busi-
ness would not pay.
APPLE LAND.—The Apple tree thrives in a variety of soils. It is most productive and longer lived if
planted in a deep, fertile loam, yet any soil that will produce good yields of wheat or corn will produce
good Apples. You should secure rolling land if poss ble to insure good drainage.
“METHOD OF PLANTING.—The old method of laying out in squares and the new method of planting in
triangles. The latter is by far the better. It allows you to cultivate three directions instead of two, and
also accommodates more trees to the acre. The following chart will explain both methods.

Variety List and Descriptions
One of our two year old Apple trees
the first summer after planting
Lievland Raspberry.—A red transparent apple, one
of the most valuable of the Russian sorts. The fruit
is medium to large, clear, waxen-like, shaded and
marbled crimson. One of the most beautiful of our
apples. The flesh is white, very tender, pleasant and
a rich sub-acid flavor. Its beauty and large size make
it one of the most popular of early summer apples.
The tree is hardy and long lived. Ripens about the
same time as the Yellow Transparent and covers a
longer season. It is a young bearer and resists
blight.
Early Harvest.—A pale yellow color sometimes with
a pink blush. Sub-acid, fair quality. A good cooking
apple but not a good keeper and is planted. usually for
home use. The tree is healthy and not subject to scab.
A bunch of one year Tops on three
year roots. All grades.
Yellow Transparent.—A very well known Russian
variety of good size. Waxen transparent yellow color.
Very tender and must be handled carefully. Sub-acid
and crisp. One of the most popular for local consump-
tion. The tree is a small grower and a young bearer.
The tree is very hardy and does best on thin soils.
Cooper’s Early White.—Large, round, pale yellow,
with faint blush; flesh white, crisp and sprightly; a
Western apple.
Strawberry (Chenango).—A large oblong light yellow
splashed and motled with crimson, It is one of the
handsomest apples we have. Has a slight strawberry
flavor. It is easily bruised and does not ripen evenly
but on account of its beauty it sells very readily.
Red Astrachan.—A fine looking apple of the Russian
class. Of medium size, mostly yellow covered with
light and dark red. Bears well in most sections of
the country. Very popular in the northern part of
the United States as a fall apple. The tree is a vig-
orous grower and very hardy. It is an excellent cook-
ing apple and as it makes a very beautiful appearance
it is quite valuable as a commercial sort.
Red June (Carolina Red June).—An attractive small
apple nearly covered with red. Sub-acid, tender and
very juicy. It is of excellent quality although the
tree is subject to disease. It does very well in a
great many sections and has been a popular favorite
for a great many years.

one year old Apple. Allone year old trees are whips
in all grades, except those varieties mentioned under
Fcut on next page.)
Tetofsky.—Tree an upright, spreading grower; bears
very early, usually second year after transplanting and
bears every year; hardy as a crab; fruit small, round,
yellow color, beautifully striped with red; flesh white,
juicy, pleasant and aromatic. July and August.
Summer Queen.—Medium to large; yellow streaked
with red; tender flesh with sharp acid flavor.
Sweet June.—Large, pale yellow; very sweet; produc-
tive.
Benoni.—A very good dessert apple. Striped and
splashed red. Very handsome in appanrance and a good
kind in its season. The tree is an upright but small
grower. It is very hardy in the north. It is best to
use as a filler as they can be planted very close. Comes
into bearing young and the fruit ripens through a
long season. It is valuable as a home apple but for
commercial purposes we would recommend other
varieties.
Duchess (Oldenburg).—One of the best known han“-
some Russian sorts. Streaked and shaded red a popu-
lar favorite on account of its acid flavor and splendid
cooking qualities. The tree is hardy and vigorous and
a prolific bearer. The apple is a Dwarf grower and
can be planted closer than most sorts. The Duchess
is one of the best of the commercial apples.
4 THE GALBRAITH NURSERY CO., FAIRBURY, NEBRASKA
One year old tops on three year old roots. Strictly on the square.
Maiden Blush.—Of fair size. Pale yellowish shaded
crimson when exposed to the sun. The quality is good.
It is one of the oldest sorts and has proven very pro-
fitable. The tree is fairly hardy. On account of its
handsome appearance it is a good commercial sort. It
is used for drying as the flesh is pure white. It is a
very good apple but is not equal to some of the other
sorts which we are listing here.
_ Plumb’s Cider.—Large size, oval; striped; tender,
juicy, sub-acid. Tree very hardy, vigorous and produc-
tive. Good Northern apple.
Bismark.—The Bismark has gained
from the fact that it is a Dwar tree. A very short
and stalky grower. It has been advertised that it
could be grown in pots and bear fruit, but it has not
proven a success. We are now growing a large line of
Dwarf apple trees, listed elsewhere, which we recom-
mend instead of Bismark.
Gravenstein.—A very large handsome apple. Streaked
and splashed with deep red on yellow. The fruit is
tender and crisp and acid. A very strong growing
tree and an excellent bearer. The fruit is excellent
quality and is becoming more and more popular every
yer. It is an apple of great merit.
its popularity
Rambo.—A greenish yellow with red stripes. An old
well known sort of only fair quality. It is adapted to
a few localities but we do not recommend it for gen-
eral planting. The apple does not keep very long hence
is not a valuable commercial sort. We recommend
other varieties for commercial purposes.
Patten’s Greening.—Originated from seed of the Duch-
ess. Fruit about the same size and shape, but green in
color. A fair eating and excellent cooking apple. A fine
spreading orchard tree. A strong grower. December
to February.
Utter’s Red.—Large, round; whitish and striped; very
beautiful and excellent; sub-acid. Tree vigorous, hardy,
productive; requires dry soil; of great value North.
September and October.
Fameuse—Popularly called Snow Apple. Medium size,
lightly ovate; whitish ground, beautifully striped with
deep red; flesh very white, juicy. Tree very hardy,
Valuable for the months of October and November.

A Well Kept Apple Orchard at Fairbury
THE GALBRAITH NURSERY CO., FAIRBURY, NEBRASKA 5
The two trees on the left are the old one year tops on a one year
old root. The two trees on the right are our one year old tops
on a three year old root. This photograph does not exaggerate.
Is it any wonder that we quit the old method of raising Apples?
Wealthy.—Fine quality; good all purpose apple.
Hardy and very productive; light yellow shaded with
deep red; tender, juicy, sub-acid; does well in all sec-
tions. October to December. For quick returns W.
T. Macoun of the Ontario Experiment Station planted
Wealthy apple trees ten feet apart and forced them
into early bearing. The plan was profitable. When
the trees began to crowd they were pruned back severe-
ly. The net returns from this closely planted orchard
in 1905 were $103.13 per acre. This brings the average
annual profit per acre since the orchard was planted,
up to $59.03 per acre.—Fruit-Grower.
Wolf River—One of the largest apples grown.
Particularly adopted the the north half of the United
States. The apple is striped and blushed bright red.
The quality of the apple is poor and it is not of much
value as a commercial sort. The main point is its
size. We advise planting other sorts.
Longfield.—A Russian sort.. Medium sizee.. Clear
waxen white. Very handsome. Sometimes slightly
blushed. A ver ymellow and juicy apple, hence it
must be handled very carefully. The tree is hardy and
quite a regular bearer but the fruit does not keep very
well. The flavor of this apple however makes it very
popular and we recommend it as one of the high class
apples.
N. W. Greening.—A greenish yellow of large _ size.
Very- juicy and sub-acid. A good cooker and a splen-
did keeper. The tree is hardy and a very strong
grower. It does not come into bearing very early but
it pays well for itself after it does come into bearing.
It is a reliable tree and the fruit finds ready sale.
McIntosh Red.—One of the best apples we have to-
day. It is of the Fameuse class. Extremely attractive
in appearance. Very large and bright deep red. Flesh
white, tinted pink. It is very tender and has a delight-
ful odor. Does extremely well in certain parts and
certain sections of the northern states. The tree is a
very stout grower, long lived, and a heavy bearer. We
have secured our strain of Me:intosh from the bearing
orchards in the Bitter Root Valley of Montana, hence,
our customers need not fear but that we have the real
McIntosh.
Our advice to those people who live where the McIn-
tosh does well is to stick to it as there is no other
variety today that will bring them the returns that
this apple will.
Rawle’s Janet.—Medium size, round; greenish yellow,
striped with red, crisp, rich, juicy, hardy, slow grower.

The best all round winter apple for New England.
Is a fall apple in the West and South.
Northern Spy.—Too well known to need description.
Crisp, tender, high quality; fine shape; beautiful color-
ing; red, usually striped; sub-acid. Takes 8 to 10 years
to come into bearing, but very productive after that.
November to March.
Missouri Pippin.—A fine apple; medium to large; pale
yellow at blossom; light and dark red, and covered
with small dots on surface. January to March.
Gano (sometimes called Black Ben Davis).—It was
named by the Missouri Valley Horticultural Society in
honor of its president, W. B. Gano. The fruit is bright
red on yellow ground (no stripes); large; oblong taper-
ing to the eye; surface smooth, polished; dots minute;
basin shallow, sometimes deep; eye large, cavity deep,
brown in color; stem medium to long; core medium.
Season January to April. Tree healthy, vigorous,
hardy; an early, annual and prolific bearer.
Ben Davis.—Superior commercial apple. Large, hand-
some, striped; productive.
Bellflower—Yellow.—The best of the Bellflower fami-
ly. Does not do well in all localities. Very large, yel-
low, sometimes slightly blushed. Very crisp, juicy and
fine quality. Does best on thin soils. A very valuable
commercial sort.
Wageneer.—A beautiful red apple with a tinge of pale
yellow. Looks somewhat like the Northern Spy. It is
of a very high quality and flavor. The tree is not us-
ually very long lived but in certain sections of the
west has proven to be a very profitable sort. In these
sections we advise planters to stick to the Wagener
as we do not think they ean find an apple that will
bring them better returns.
Jonathan.—The apple that has been a_ favorite for
over one-hundred years. A _ beautiful brilliant red
apple of the very finest flavor and quality. It is very
tender, juicy, spicy and the very best sort for family
and market. All other sorts are compared to the
Jonathan for quality. The tree is very long lived and
productive and an early bearer. We advise planting
Jonathan in large blocks. We especially recommend
these to anyone who is in doubt, as you will never
make a mistake in planting Jonathans.
There are nursery companies today who are advocat-
ing the planting of other sorts in preference te
Jonathan, but the wise planter will avoid such ex
periments and stick to the varieties that always have
and always will be in demand. One year old trees are

These trees are 3-4 foot Gano and Rome Beauty- Actual photo-
graph taken in the fall. Here is the highest type of tree ever
produced; especially for the commercial orchardist.
6 THE GALBRAITH NURSERY
Rome Beauty.—An apple that has been coming rapid-
ly into favor of late years in all apple growing sec-
tions. We consider this one of the very best quality
apples and it is readily sold on any market. It is of
good size and great beauty. It is a fine apple and has
very few faults. It resists the early frosts. In Idaho
when the first crop of blossoms has been killed it puts
forth a second crop. The apple is of very uniform
size, large and smooth. Shaded and striped with bright
red. Blooms late and is a regular bearer. One of our
best quality apples.
Mammoth Black Twig.—This tree is a fine upright
grower. A very heavy bearer. Holds the fruit ex-
tremely well. The fruit keeps extremely well and has
avery handsome appearance, hence it is a very valu-
able commercial sort and is a sure money maker. The
fruit looks some-what like the Winesap although it is
much larger. The flesh resembles the Staymans Wine-
Sap to a certain extent and in ‘sections where the
Winesap is a small grower we recommend the Mam-
moth Black Twig. It also takes the place of the Stay-
mans Winesap in sections where this variety does not
do well.
Mann.—Medium to large, often with a sx
brownish yellow on red where exposed; juicy,
shade of
mild,
pleasant. Tree very hardy, upright grower, Januray to
April.
Roman Stem.—Fruit medium ; whitish-yellow,
splashed with russet; flesh tender, juicy, rich, musky
flavor; fine dessert apple; moderate. November and
December.
Spitzenburg (Aesopus).—Bright red, striped deeper
red, firm, sub-acid, quality the best. Fine shipper and
good market apple. Does well in certain sections only.
Profitable in northwest.
Grimes Golden.—A tranSparent golden yellow apple of
medium size. The flesh is very tender juicy and
Spicy. One of the old time apples that has never lost
favor and never will. The tree is very hardy and a
vigorous grower. It comes into bearing young. This
apple when grown properly and, carefully packed will
invariably bring the highest price on the market.
Some claim that this apple is only good for home con-
sumption but our experience has been that Grimes
Golden will sell at a higher price than many other
varieties, You will make no mistake in planting freely
of this apple in a commercial orchard.
Newtown Pippin. (Albemarle Pippin—Yellow New-
town).—One of the highest quality apples. The only
fault being that it does not do well in all sections of
the country. We have a large orchard here at Fair-
bury which is very productive and the apples always
bring the highest price. It is particularly adaptable to
the Pacific coast and some parts of the Atlantic. It is one
of the best keepers and the quality is one of the very
best, if not the best, on the market today. It has been
a leader with the export trade. It ripens with the
York Imperial and in some localities the York Imper-
ial is sold as a Red Newtown.
York Imperial.—Medium, oblate; white, shaded with
erimson; flesh firm, crisp, juicy and sub-acid. A good
bearer and keeper; one of the best winter apples; mod-
erate. November to April.
Stayman’s Winesap.—It is one of our best Quality
Apples— Seedling of the old Winesap, but much better.
Fruit nearly twice as large, much better quality, very
fine grain, ecrisp, tender and juicy. It excels many
others as a keeper. It is very hardy, a strong grower
and very productive. A fast grower, foliage perfect,
root system strong, will grow on poor land where the
old Winesap would die. This apple will make you
money. Hangs till November; large to very large,
completely covered with dark

and sub-acid. Rather coarse grained but a very good
keeper. The tree is a young bearer. The main fault
of this apple is that it does not do well in all sec-
tions. It has reached its perfection in New Mexico.
In the north and east it is inclined to scab badly.
: Winesap.—Do not let ayone discourage you in plant-
ing the Winesap. This has been a favorite of long
standing and always will be. It is famous for its
regular crops. The apple is medium size, Dark Red.
Firm and crisp and finely flavored. The tree is very
hardy. It is an excellent keeper, an excellent shipper
and keeps very late in the season. It always brings a
good price on the market. There are some regions in
which the Winesap grows rather small and in such
localities we recommend that you plant the Staymans
Winesap. :

DWARF APPLES
We introduced these as a novelty but they have come
into such popular favor that we advocate their use as a
profitable apple for home and local consumption. They
may be used in the garden or yard where Standards
take up too much room. They bear quickly. Have
low broad heads. They can be planted a great deal
closer than Standard trees. They usually bear in about
four years. Grow six to eight feet high, putting their
strength into fruit instead of wood. The trees are
budded on French Paradise and Doucin stalks. Price,

We have only the best varieties, the kind that bear annually and are of the finest quality. A variety of
characteristics may be found in those described below. The cherry is a beautiful as well as useful tree.
Searcely any ornamental tree is more beautiful. We could add to the list given here, but it would be at a
loss of quality. You cannot go wrong in trying these tried popular varieties. The Cherry is the most
neglected of all important fruits which succeed in the U.S. It is a delicious and refreshing fruit and should
be much more widely planted. It is always in demand and the market is rarely overstocked.
—————<———— — ee —— In some sections it bears heavy every year while in

able commercial sort. The tree is a poor grower and
short lived. Very susceptible to disease. We advocate
other varieties for commercial purposes.
.-Earge Montmorency.—The best of the Montmorency
family and equal in value only by the Harly Rich-
mond. The Montmorency has all the good quality of
the Harly Richmond but ripens two weeks later. The
fruit is identical with the Early Richmond. Some

lar in fruit. It is a good bearer in certain sections
only. It is a dwarf grower and is not so subject to
disease as the English Morello. Its main fault is that
it does not do well in all parts of the country.
ontmorency Ordinaire.—A fruit very similar to the
Large Montmorency. It does best in certain sections
of the west. The quality of the fruit is excellent. It
bears heavy crops and is quite dependable.

cherries. Has a copper color. It is very large and
heart shaped.
Other varieties of Sweet cherries that we can supply
are Schmidts Biggareau, Windsor, Napoleon, Centen-
nial and Governor Wood.
_“Compass Cherry-Plum.
A new introduction of exceptional merit; a cross be-
tween a Sand Cherry and Miner Plum; a fine grower
and beautiful tree. Fruit about an inch in diameter,

Early Richmond.—The oldest and most reliable cherry
tree grown today. It has proven its excellence for gene-
rations for home and local consumption. There is noth-
ing to take its place. It is of good size. Light red

Peaches with proper care can be grown without difficulty in many states where they are not raised at
all, or on the most limited scale.
In the Central West, in such states as Kansas and Nebraska, peaches grow
that cannot be surpassed in quality anywhere, and more of them should be grown.
We have several sorts that in our hands, and in the hands of our customers, have proved to be as hardy

Plums can be easily protected against the at-
tacks of the Curculio by proper care, and remember that without care you cannot succeed with any kind of
fruit, and will not deserve success.
For the Curculio, treat as follows:
Immediately after the tree has done
blossoming, and the fruit is in the first stages of growth, make the ground clean and smooth under each
tree and spread a sheet upon it so that it will extend as far as the outside edge of the outer branches, and
then suddenly jar the tree, so as to shake down all the stung fruit and insects,
which should be destroyed.
If this operation be carried on daily for a short time t will insure a full crop of this delicious fruit, and
will well repay the little daily attention given to it.
It is very important that this should be done early
in the morning. The cost of protecting large orchards from the attacks of this enemy will not exceed
ten cents per tree for the entire season.
The fungous disease, known as the Black Knot, must be properly cut and burned on its appearance.

Grapes
Every kind of good fruit has its uses in adding to the health, pleasure and prosperity of the human race
but it would not be wrong to say that with the possible exception of apples, and many would make no ex-
ception at all, grapes have the first place. They are delightful to the taste of nearly everyone, and no article
of food is more wholesome. There are a few people who eat them sparingly, or not at all, on account of
fear of appendicitis from the grape seeds. Appendicitis from this cause is like the old “milk sickness,” it
is always in the next county. We do not say that grape seeds may not produce this difficulty, but a prom-
inent New York surgeon, who has operated on a great many cases of appendicitis, said he had never seen
a case resulting from grape seeds, and had never known of a case well authenticated.
Grapes may be grown over the greater part of the United States with excellent results. And they can
be grown almost anywhere. There is searcely a yard in the city or country that from one to a dozen or
more grape vines cannot be planted. They are not choice about the place they shall grow, as they will grow
up the side of a building or along the garden fence, requiring little care, and will ornament the place and
give profit and pleasure.
Make the soil mellow and plant the vines six or eight inches deep. Plant about six feet apart. For a
vineyard make the rows eight feet apart, vines six feet apart in rows. f
Like all our products, our grapes are of the best quality. All vines shipped are heavily rooted, thrifty,
and selected with great care.

The Gooseberry is a valuable berry and is growing more popular every year. For cooking, whether
green or ripe, it has great value. It requires the same cultivation and treatment for worms as the Currant.

subject to mildew. To prevent mildew, use one-half ounce potassium sulphide to one gallon of water.

unfortunate as not to like them. No fruit of any kind is more wholesome. They are particularly valuable

save on the doctor’s bills, and they are also economical on other grounds.
Blackberries should be planted in rows six to seven feet apart, three to four feet in the rows. Keep the
ground light, rich and clean. Pinch the canes back when they have reached four feet in height.

Carolina Poplar—Perhaps the most rapid of growers;
succeeds everywhere; is especially adapted to large
cities, where it makes an unusually rapid growth and
resists gas and smoke. For new places and streets,
where slower growers are desired, plant the poplar
between, and you will secure an almost immediate
effect. When the others trees attain the same size the
poplars can be removed. The leaves are large, hand-
some, deep green. The tree has a pyramidal form,
making a spreading head and dense shade when prop-
erly trimmed.

Bulbs for Spring Planting
GLADIOLI (Named Varieties)
These handsome and stately flowers are deservedly
popular. Of robust and erect habit, they have green,
sword-shaped leaves and splendid flower-scapes rising
from 2 to 3 feet in height. There are a variety of
colors, aS orange, scarlet and vermillion, upon yellow
and orange grounds, with various shades from white
and rosy blush and salmon-rose tints to a salmon-red
and nankeen.
A succession of bloom may be had from July to
September, by planting at intervals from April to June,
reserving the strong bulbs for the late plantings. Glad-
jfoli require very little attention and will grow in any
ordinary garden soil. They should be lifted in the
fall and placed in a dry cellar.

Dahlia
The Dahlia is one of our most beautiful plants and
is the most neglected. It is undoubtedly caused by
the inferior grade of bulbs that have been scattered
Canna
around the country. We have been raising Dahlias
successfully for several years and this year we are able
to introduce some wonderful new varieties, which we
hope will take the place of the small common pom-
pon. A glance at the illustrations will show what
has been accomplished. The Dahlia is the easiest to
eare for of all summer bulbs. Plant them and keep
the weeds away and the bulb will amply reward you
for your trouble.

Roses
Cultural Directions.—In selecting a spot for a rose
bed, do not choose one where the bushes will be shad-
ed by trees or buildings. Sunlight is the very life of
the rose. Roses are very partial to a clay loam soil,
but will do well in any ordinary soil if well enriched
with well-rotted barnyard manure. In preparing the
bed, dig it up thoroughly to the depth of twelve or
fifteen inches, as rose roots penetrate deep when they
have a chance. In forming the beds, do not elevate
them above the level of the ground surrounding, as
they will suffer less from drought. After the plants
have been set out, keep the soil loose to the depth of
an nich or two by frequent stirrings. An occasional
soaking with weak manure water’is a great help to
them.

tention it can be grown successfully wherever any

BABY RAMBLER
This is truly a wonderful rose; in shade and ap-
pearance it is like the Crimson Rambler, blood red in

in full leaf it puts out buds in the spring and con-
tinues blooming the entire season. Other reses bloom
mestly in June, and then have a few sccattering roses
