We Employ No Agents

Buying Direct from Us through our Catalogue You Save the Middleman’s Profit.

in presenting this, our annual Wholesale Catalogue, to our patrons and friends we de-
sire to extend our thanks and appreciation for your most liberal patronage in the past,
and assure you of our appreciation for your continued patronage which we hope to merit
by serving you in our usual prompt and careful painstaking manner.

We want to thank the hundreds and thousands of people for the many fine letters of
testimonials about our trees, the manner of packing and so forth. While we are the
Pioneer Wholesale Nurserymen of Dansville it is due to your appreciation of good stock
and your co-operation in recommending our trees to your neighbors for all of which we
are very grateful.

in 1882 we started to grow nursery stock for the planter and sell through the med-
ium of a catalogue; that year we set out 3,000 seedlings. In the spring of 1912 we planted
1,700,000:seedlings, a most phenomenal growth indeed, simply due to the quality of our
trees and the prices of same.

Mr. Maloney’s Tatk to Customers and Friends. Dear Friends: This is our 29th
year eromiue trees for you. Each year we have striven to curtail expenses so as to sell
good first-class trees at a minimum price. We know positively no one can sell you first-
class stock for less money.

Our prices are such that every man or woman who wishes to plant, can do so without
making any sacrifice, for a few hundred trees cost a trifling sum, and when fruiting,
will bring greater results than any other way you can invest that amount of money.

Our trees have done remarkably well this season, and since we cannot go to see you,
we want those of you who can to come and visit our nurseries, it will be worth while.

Dear friends, if your order comes to us, you will be treated just as we would want to
be treated were we buying of you.

Last spring freight service was frightfully poor. We know what it means to have trees
delayed enroute, so we kept constantly tracing shipments until they arrived at destina-
tion, therefore, only very few shipments were delayed. Prompt delivery means con-
siderable to the planter.

We will appreciate your patronage, and you may rely you will be supplied with guar-
anteed true to name and free from disease trees and plants.

Fall Planting is advantageous, for the autumn rains settle the earth around the
roots so that they are well established in their new home and ready to start growiny with
the first warm days of spring, consequently you will find fall set trees will make a de-
cidecly better growth and percentage of loss very small.

Shipping Season begins about October 10th and continues until cold weather.

References: We want you to write to any of the tollowing as to our reliability or
responsibility :

Parties whose testimonials appear in our catalogue orany business house in Dansville.

We want to serve you because we give personal attention to each and every order,
and you may depend that you will be well served for we guarantee satisfaction or refund
your money. We know there is no better stock in the United States than what we have to
offer this season. We know our trees are right and we want you to know it and the only
way we can convince you is to send us your order. We must have treated people right
or we could not have made the rapid growth we have.

Confidence of our customers has been won by sending exactly what they order, true
to name and up-to-grade trees and plants. To our patrons our trees need no introduction ;
to those unacquainted we can only say a trial order will prove their value.

Our Trees are grown at an elevation of 1500 ft. They are hardy, healthy and thrifty,
propagated from bearing orchards. \

We guarantee our trees to be free from scale and disease.

We guarantee with our superior packing methods they will arrive in good condition.

We guarantee our trees to be true to name: first, because they are, as mentioned
above, budded from selected bearing trees; second, our Mr. A. E. Maloney cuts every
scion for budding and giving his personal attention to this work, we feel that if you can
get trees true to name anywhere in the country it is from Maloney Bros. & Wells Co.
While we exercise the greatest care to have our varieties genuine we agree to replace on
proper proof all that may prove untrue to name and it is hereby mutually agreed that our
replacing or offering to replace shall operate as a liquidation of all damages.

Discounts: On all cash orders received before October 15th, we will allow a 5% dis-
count. After October 15th, a 2% discount. No discount allowed on any but cash orders.

Rates: We allow hundred rates on lots of fifty or more. It does not matter how the
number is made up; it may consist of such as 25 Pear, 15 Apple, 20 Cherry.

Terms : Cash with order except in large orders when satisfactory reference is given
and then the order must be accompanied by one-fourth cash

How Best to Remit

Remit by Bank Draft, Express Money Order, Post Office Money Order or Registered
Letter. We will ship trees and plants C. O. D. providing 25% of your order is sent in
cash. If the order goes by express you pay the balance to your express agent upon
arrival. If it goes by freight you pay the balance at your bank, where you will also
find freight bill and order on your freight agent to deliver shipment to you.

Freight and Express Rates

Don’t let the Nursery Agent tell you that the freight on your trees will cost as much as the dif-
ference between his price and ours. It is absurd. The rate is between 20c and 40c per 100 lbs.
west of the Atlantic and east of the Mississippi. First class trees will average 1 lb. each. Atthe
maximum 40c per 100 lbs., it simply means you are paying less than one-half cent per tree for
freight. Tell this to the Nursery Agent and see how he likes it. If he disputes these figures, call
up your nearest R. R. Agent.

The Express rates you will also find much lower than you anticipate, as the Express Companies
now carry trees and plants to any part of the country at a reduction of 20 per cent from regular
merchandise rates.

Boxing and Packing Free
We box and pack all shipments without charge. All orders are put up in boxes or bales, lined

with heavy paper to guard against stock drying out; the trees and plants are packed in moist ex-
celsior and straw.

Way to Lay Out an Appie Orchard

There are different
ways to lay out or-
chards. The plan
shown here is one
that is adopted by
most planters. The
open circle repre-
sents the Standard
varieties, 40 ft. each
way and the dots,
fillers, 20 ft. each
way. Under this
system you can plant 28 standards and 82 fillers per acre. The
standard varieties will not require the full space until the 18th to
20th year, consequently you can see that fillers are a very profitable
investment.

Transplanting Directions

Preparing the Soil: First of all select a good field of rich soil.
Should it be a meadow that you desire to plant, be sure and plow it
during late fall so that the sod will decay and thereby furnish a cer-
tain nourishment that is very essential to the success of the trees.
Clover sod will give best results.

Pruning the Tree is a matter of great consequence. The illus-
tration here shows the correct way to trim trees for planting, do not
be afraid that you are pruning too severely for you are not; this is
the proper way for best results.

Planting =: Make the holes large enough to admit the roots with-
out cramping and deep enough to bring the tree to its natural
depth. Always use the surface soil to cover the roots. When the
hole is half full, tread firmly and then fill the hole and tread again.
If you tramp the earth firmly about the roots you will not lose one
tree out of every five hundred.

Gherry growing is one phase of orcharding to which Mr. Maloney wishes to call your personal
attention. That planting of cherry trees in the past has been neglected, is a fact. There is as
big a demand as ever for cherry fruit—the supply does not begin to satisfy more than one-half
of the demand. Canneries are being started wherever there are good cherry orchards. It is
easy to dispose of your fruit, and it is one of the most profitable fruits under cultivation. Enor-
mous profits are being realized from young orchards, for they come into bearing at an early
age and yield abundantly.

Requires Least Attention of all Fruits, because it has been demonstrated beyond question of
doubt that scale cannot live on cherry.

Our Cherries are Equipped with a most beautiful fibrous root system due, principally, to our
top dressing them with a fine grade of fertilizer when buds were dormant. Cherry growing is
a specialty with us, for we have made it a study for years and the trees we have to offer this
season, we firmly believe have attained the highest grade of perfection.

Waiiere to Plant—on any kind of land, other than wet. They will thrive beautifully on a sandy
or gravelly soil.

How to Piant. For your information cherry roots must not be given much sun os wind ex-
posure—either are just as harmful as a heavy frost. You would not think of leaving them out
over night uncovered. It is just exactly as necessary to protect them from sun and wind. The
proper way is to keep the trees covered with a blanket or canvas while planting.

Have You Started an Apple Orchard? If not, we want you to ask yourself why. Observe
what your neighbor is reaping from the orchard set a few years ago. Remember, we are all ad-
vancing in years and each and every one trying to arrange our business affairs so that in our
old days, we will have sufficient to care for our necessities.

Apple Orchard a Safe Investment. Statistics show that there is no better investment than in
an orchard of the King of fruits, the apple, for, after the fifth or sixth year, it requires but
little attention and you have an annual income that insures you an easy living for the remain-
der of your days. :

Soil and Climatic Conditions. Apple trees will do well on most any kind of soil, and under
the most severe climatic conditions. However, your success depends on the care given, culti-
vation and spraying at the proper time being most essential.

Selection of Varieties. By judicious selection of varieties a constant succession can be ob
tained so that you will have apples continuously throughout the entire year. ‘‘Nothing more
healthful in the home than the apple.’’

Why Are Planters More Successful with Maloney Quality Trees? Because we aim from
the very beginning to give our patrons the most that can be had for the money. Too many
Nurserymen economize by propagating on Western grown seedlings. No Nurseryman can con-
scientiously do this for he well knows that Western seedlings are more or less troubled with
that harmful crown and root gall. We eliminate this feature by importing our seedlings from
France. Any of your Inspectors will tell you that trees so propagated are longer lived and will
net you greater returns. It is not so surprising after all that Maloney Quality Trees are
being planted by thousands in every state in the Union east of the Rockies. Following is the
list we have to offer this season.

Peach Growing is Today a Great Industry, in all probability more peaches are being planted
annually than any other fruit. The comparative ease with which Peach trees may be cultivated,
their freedom from disease, the short period before they come into bearing, together with the
wonderful demand for the fruit, and the facility with which it may be shipped to markets,
make peach growing extremely profitable.

Here is the Important Question that Confronts Every Planter: Where are the peaches
that you buy propagated ? On some low land that will throw up a big, soft, spongy tree that
will freeze out the first cold winter and just when you ought to have a good crop you find
your fruit buds are killed? Or are they raised on the upland where they make a strong,
hardy, healthy, vigorous growth?

Our Peaches are propagated on the upland at an elevation of 1,500 feet, therefore are abso-
lutely hardy and proof against severe winters. Qur peach pits are gathered in the mountains
of North and South Carolina, where disease is unknown. These two facts prove beyond ques-
tion oF doubt why it is decidedly advantageous to plant Maloney Quality peach trees for best
results. —e

Som: ee trees will succeed on any kind <: rich soil, but will not thrive on clay, nor damp,
ow land.

Gare of Peach Trees: To keep your trees in a healthy and vigorous state, that will insure
good crops, you must keep your ground clean and mellow by harrowing. An occasional dress-
ing of wood ashes will be very beneficial. Do your pruning in the spring. Cut out all dead
and useless wood, thereby letting in the necessary light and air to give the fruit color.

Elberta Peach. Unsurpassed as a valuable, large, beautiful peach of good quality. The best orchard
variety, and valuable also for planting in the garden. A friend near here has planted many acres
entirely to Elberta. Elberta is hardier in bud than many varieties, therefore a more uniform
cropper. Elberta is large, yellow, with red cheek, juicy, and high flavored, flesh yellow, free-
stone. Season medium early, following quick upon Early Crawford.

The Finest in America

A Bartlett Pear Orchard Properly Located and Intelli-
gently Handled is the Best Investment that a
Mian Can Make

For years we have been growing pear trees and today have
the best block of 75,000 two year Bartlett pear freee in the
United States. Every tree is from 5 to 7 feet in height, well
branched and abundantly rooted. The soil of our nurseries is
particularly adapted to their culture. No better trees than
ours, either Standard or Dwarf, can be sent out from any Nur-
sery. Dansville trees are the very best obtainable. The Pear
will grow on almost any soil, but thrives best in a rather
heavy clay or loam.

A patron, H. D. B., Troy, N. Y., writes that he marketed
1000 barrels of pears, which were sold for $3,250, and that the
prose of his sixty acre farm in 1903 was $7,200, and in 1904

Our Plums are all budded on whole roots of Imported French Myrobolan Stock.

The plum has not been planted as extensively as it deserves, and the lack of planting has doubt-
less been partly due to difficulty in marketing; but with the demand for good fruit in our east-
ern markets almost unlimited, and the establishment of canneries in most important fruit sec-
tions, it is again being planted in large quantities, as it is known that a little care and atten-
tion at the proper time will insure a profitable crop.

When making selection of varieties, do not overlook the Japanese sorts. These may be new
to you, but they are valuable. Mr. Luther Burbank of California is to be credited with the in-
troduction of the greater portion of Japanese varieties. Among the good ones that he recom-
mends strongly are Burbank and Abundance, and any orchard is incomplete without these two
varieties.

Soil. The best soil for Plums is a loose, deep, gravely loam, with an open sub-soil, such as is
suited for potatoes, although any soil may be used, provided it is well drained. For planting
distance, see page 2.

Maloney Prune first came to our attention while growing in the garden of a good old Canadian
living about one square from Mr. W. J. Maloney. Our friend invited us on the 15th day of No-
vember to see this tree as it then appeared. Imagine our surprise to observe a tree loaded
with Prunes at that time of year, with fruit not only perfect but decidedly luscious. They had
been using from the tree in a small way since the latter part of September. We kept a watchful
eye on it the succeeding year and found exactly the same conditions. We were then convinced
of its value, for it has the quality of a Fellemburg, the size of a York State Prune, and surpas-
sing both for its long season extending from September 15th until freezing weather. Size large,
color dark blue; flesh yellow and delicious; freestone; heavy annual bearer. It certainly is
~ marvel—just what the orchard man has been looking for.

the trees that I bought for myself and neighbors last spring, only three failed to grow, in spite of

Dwarfs

Dwarf fruit trees bear larger, better fruit, bear several years
earlier, and produce more returns for a given space than standard
trees. This is all true and there are even more important points.
The low, broad heads are within reach, so that apples or pears can
be easily picked. You can plant dwarf trees in your garden and
still grow strawberries and most vegetables. With dwarfs some
varieties will bear the first year, all will the second year and hear
a full crop the fourth year.

You can plant forty trees in a small space, save several years,
5 get better fruit and each tree should bear a bushel a year.

all other sizes are poor trees. This is a mistake, as some of the best orchards are grown from
the smaller size trees. Our four to five foot trecs are not third class, but first class of their size,

Biackberries

Biackberries for garden culture, plant four feet apart in rows five feet apart. For field cul-
ture plant three feet apart in rows six feet apart. Pinch back canes when three or four feet high,
and allow but three canes to the hill. Give about same treatment as raspberries. Blackberries
should be picked when a full, glossy black. Berries that have become dull-looking are too ripe

The Loudon is the Best Hardy Red Raspberry on Earth

Loudon Raspberry, the hardiest of all, yields 200 bushels per acre, bears best on strong
clayey loam, but succeeds well on sand. Prof. Van Deman has pronounced Loudon the best of all
red raspberries. Considering its hardiness, productiveness, large size, quality and bright color,
it will be difficult to secure a better raspberry.

easily picked and always command good prices. No fruit grower can afford to omit planting Cuth-

say you certainly know how to put trees up in good shape for a long journey so they cannot dry
out. They were in as good shape when they reached here as if they had just been dug.

I wish you all kinds of success with your nursery.

Poplar

This tree takes front rank among the best
of poplars. Itis one of the most rapid growers
among shade trees, frequently growing eight
feet during one season and thus making fine
shade in two or three years. Its branches
spread enough to give it a symmetrical, com-
manding form of elegant appearance. ‘It is
very desirable when planted at the roadside,
in parks or along rivers and streams. It has
an advantage over other shade trees because
it will grow in any kind of soil. It is easily
transplanted, and gives dense shade in a short
time. For a quick grown shade tree there is
no tree that equals the Carolina Poplar. It is
also very largely planted as a screen to shut
out unattractive buildings.

in great profusion. ;

Hedge Plants

California Privet. -A vigorous-growing variety, of fine habit, thick, glossy, nearly evergreen
leaves. Of all ornamental hedge-plants this is the most highly prized. If cut to the ground one
or two years after planting, it makes a very thick hedge right from the bottom, sending up
many strong shoots. The leaves are a rich green, and will remain on the plants up to Christ-
mas, and if they are a little sheltered they will keep green almost all winter. This is especially
the case if the hedge has attained some age and has frequently been trimmed. Though it is a
very strong grower, it can be kept to a low size by frequent trimming. Where a close, compact
hedge is desired we recommend California Privet. Should be planted about eight to ten inches
apart to give best results.

Barberry Thumbergii. A pretty plant

red in the fall. All Barberries make
very fine hedges.

Strong plants, 18 to 24 inches, well
branched, 16 cents each; $1.50 per 10;

Norway Spruce. There is no ever-
green so largely planted as the Nor-
way Spruce. It is indeed a tree pos-
sessed with great beauty at all seasons
of the year, but particularly in win-
ter when its branches are weighed
down with newly fallen snow. This
spruce is a rapid grower and is often
used asa lawn fence between village
Or city lots. Norway Spruce can be
planted most effectively in groups on
the lawn, imitating nature, planting
without any particular order, but far
enough apart to give each tree an op-
portunity to expand itself in its
beauty.
