Some of our one-year-old Jonathan trees in nursery row,

We take pleasure in presenting to our patrons, and all persons interested in
Horticulture, our new descriptive catalogue which, we trust, may be a help to many
orchardists in selecting the right varieties for their orchards, and in getting them
started right. The financial success of an orchard depends, principally upon the
selection of the right varieties according to soil, climate, location and market, and
in getting absolutely dependable nursery stock.

Our stock consists of all the commercial varieties of apples, pears, peaches, cher-
ries, plums, prunes, grapes, berries, shade trees, shrubs and flowers, which are grown
under the personal supervision of Prof. A, Van Holderbeke, the president of our
company. Our trees planted in thousands of orchards have proved their superior
value.

SELECTION OF VARIETIES

We shall gladly assist our customers in the selection of such varieties as are
best adapted to their soils, locations, etc., and in all matters pertaining to orchard-
ing, from the planting of the young trees up to the bearing period of the orchard.

VARIETIES TRUE TO NAME

Prof. A. Van Holderbeke, the president of our nurseries, was graduated from
the horticultural department of the University of Ghent (Belgium) in 1888 and lec-
tured for several years in that country on horticultural topics. The agricultural year-
book of the United States of 1896 recognized the horticultural schools of Belgium
as the most advanced in horticulture in the world. In 1893 Prof. Van Holderbeke
left his native land for America and came to the state of
Washington, where he has resided ever since, practicing
horticulture and making horticultural investigations all
over the state, In 1898 Prof. Van Holderbeke was ap-
pointed horticultural inspector of Snohomish County and
occupied that position for three years. In 1901 he re-
ceived his certificate of qualification as horticulturist
from the Washington State College at Pullman. April 1,
1901, Prof. Van Holderbeke was appointed commissioner
of horticulture for the State of Washington, which posi-
tion he held till 1905. His duties as commissioner of horti-
culture were to investigate horticultural possibilities all
over the state, consequently coming in contact with all
varieties of fruit and localities, and so he knows by prac-
tical experience which are the most successful varieties
as to locality and soil.

In propagating by budding or grafting we take one
single bud, which grows the future tree. The bud com-
Prof. A. Van Holderbeke. mencing to grow, develops its own leaves enclosed in that

bud and those leaves manufacture the perfect plantfood
for its kind. Consequently the elements of the whole future tree are enclosed in
that bud and it is plain that the whole success of making a perfect tree depends
on the selection of scions and buds. We all Know that there are experts in every
profession, who, by long and careful studies, have reached the high climax of the
trade and these same experts we have in horticulture who, through long years of
study and experiments, are able to conceive what is enclosed in a bud which is used
for propagation and consequently selecting the best buds for the best results.

Prof. Van Holderbeke is selecting all the buds and scions we use in propagating
the stock, and as your success is ours, we take every precaution to furnish you the
trees of greatest fertility and true to name.

Many fruit-growers invest all their means in planting an orchard and rely upon
it for the future welfare of their families. For this reason you should buy your
trees from a nursery company, at the head of which is an expert in his profession
and who, during twenty years in the state of Washington, has built up a reputa-
tion as a recognized authority on fruit growing. The Van Holderbeke Nursery Com-
pany has been established in Washington for over six years and is intimately iden-
tified with the horticultural development of the entire Northwest. It gives to the
purchaser the strongest guarantee anyone could demand.

AGE OF TREES

A one-year-old tree is the best tree for planting for the following reasons, ac-
cording to plant life: In nature roots and top of a tree are always in equal propor-
tion. In digging a tree in the nursery, the roots are cut off the same length in any
age of a tree, and the older the tree, the farther the roots extend, Consequently,
you cut off more roots of an older tree than of a one-year-old tree, and as root and
top always must be in equal proportion before the tree grows, the top will not grow
before the roots have reached the proportion of the top. A one-year-old tree is
provided with buds from top to bottom; you may cut the tree back to any height
you desire to start your head, and the tree will grow to perfection. An older tree
has been cut back in the nursery and started the head according to the notions of
a nurseryman, and as the trees stand close together in the nursery row, the heads
cannot grow in a symmetrical shape.

The most healthful tree is the most vigorous tree; the one-year-old tree that
attains its size is the most vigorous tree and the two, three and four-year-old trees
sold by nurseries are generally those that do not make vigorous growth. We know
that the slower the tree grows the smaller are the cells; the more vigorous a tree
grows the larger are the cells, and how can you expect a large circulation of sap
unless you have large cells?

Treatment of Stock, Planting Directions, Etc.

WINTERING TREES WHEN PROCURED
IN THE FALL

Procuring trees in the autumn for early spring planting is recommended when
the purchaser is not prepared to plant in the fall or prefers spring setting; the great-
est advantages derived in doing so are that when the roots have been cut or pruned,
it will be found, upon taking them up in the spring, that a callus has been formed
ready for the producing of new rootlets, and the trees being planted without much ex-
posure, as soon as the frost is out of the ground, will become thoroughly established
the first season, and should make twice the growth of late planted trees; and the labor
of planting is then done before the rush of the spring work sets in. To insure suc-
cess, select a spot of ground where water will not stand during winter and no grass
or litter will invite mice. Dig a trench from three to four feet wide, according to
the amount of trees to be heeled in, and deep enough to admit one layer of roots and
sloping enough to let the trees lie at an angle of about thirty degrees, throwing the
earth on the back part of the trenches so as to make a more perfect slope on which
to lay down the trees. Untie each bundle, shake out the packing, put one layer of
trees into the trench, placing the roots as close together as can conveniently be
done; cover with well-pulverized soil well up on the bodies and as carefully worked
in about the roots as if they were being planted; then add another layer of trees,
overlapping the first, and continue as at first until all are heeled in, throwing the

Page Four

VAN HOLDERBEKE NURSERY CO., SPOKANE, WASHINGTON

ground well up around the trench, and where the winters are very severe it is ad-
visable to cover the trees entirely with earth. Evergreen boughs, coarse straw or
corn fodder can be placed over the tops, but not thick enough to admit of a harbor
for mice.

TREATMENT OF STOCK RECEIVED DURING
FROSTY WEATHER

Place the package, unopened, in a cool cellar, or some such place, that is free
from frost, until perfectly thawed. Don’t be in a hurry to open. Stock can remain
in this condition for a week or two, if boxes are covered with moss, sawdust, earth
or something to exclude air. Then they can be unpacked. Treated thus, they will
not be injured by freezing.

HINTS ON TRANSPLANTING, ETC.

The natural place for the roots of trees and plants is in the ground, and as soon
as they are exposed to the atmosphere and become too dry, they begin to lose their
vitality; therefore, let it be kept in mind that too much care cannot be taken to
protect their life and vitality while out of the ground, as a failure in this is often
the cause of a feeble growth when transplanted. Poor growth is also caused by not
having the ground in proper condition at time of transplanting and a lack of irriga-
tion and cultivation.

When the trees are received, open the bundles and heel in, so that mellow earth
will come in contact with all the roots. It may be necessary to apply water to
moisten the soil. Before planting, the ends of all bruised and broken roots must be
cut. If the soil is properly prepared the holes need not be dug much larger than to
receive the roots in their original position. Never cramp or bend the roots; rather
cut them back. Spread them out carefully so they are not bunched together. When
the tree is set and the hole about three-fourths filled with earth, pour a bucket of
water in the hole to wash the earth between the roots, so that the roots are all
properly packed in wet soil. When planting on irrigated land, it is advisable to give
the trees a thorough irrigation right after planting. Be careful to have the ground
where the roots extend thoroughly soaked and keep the land well cultivated and
irrigated afterward, until all the trees have started to grow. Plant in the fall as
soon as the trees are well matured and dormant, or early in the spring as soon as
the ground is in condition for planting, before life starts in the tree and the buds
begin to swell. A dormant tree has more vitality and plant food to start growth and
new roots than a tree that is leafing out.

In planting in sod, in yard or lawn, the hole should be dug four to six feet in
diameter and a little deeper than is necessary to set the tree, always using good mel-
low soil in filling in.

Water freely used in planting helps to settle the earth about the roots, and
mulching as soon as the tree is planted, three or four inches thick and four to six
feet in diameter, should be applied, but the earth should be well settled about the
tree before applying the mulching.

Cut tops back right after planting in spring to the desired height; low heads
are best. On fall planted trees it is advisable to cut the tops back only the follow-
ing spring, before the growth starts.

Remove labels, or wire will cut into the growing tree and ruin it.

DEPTH TO PLANT—About the only correct guide that can be given in regard
to the depth to be planted is that when the ground is well settled about the tree or
plant it will be as deep as it stood in the nursery.

Rule, Square Method—Multiply the distance in feet between the rows by the
distance the plants are apart in the rows, and the product will be the number of
square feet for each plant or hill, which, divided into the number of square feet in
an acre (43,560), will give the number of plants or trees to the acre.

Rule, Equilateral Triangle Method—Divide the number required to the acre,

“square method,” by the decimal .866. The result will be the number of plants re
quired to the acre by this method.

Strawberries

$1.00 per 100.
$8.00 per 1,000.

AROMA (S)—Season very late; size
much above medium; bright red flesh
to center and a good shipper. One of
the best pollenizers for late sorts; well
adapted to light soil and will not dis-
appoint you.

BRANDYWINE—One of the most popu-
lar berries on the market. Berries are
very large, deep red to center, firm and
a good shipping fruit; stems are stout
and short, holding the fruit well up
rou the ground; succeeds im any
strong soil or sandy moor,

BUBACH’S NO. 5—One authority says:
“The great strawberry the horticultur-
ists have been seeking and the millions
waiting for has been found—Bubach’s
No. 5—the best out of 500 new seedling
varieties. Very prolific, of excellent
flavor, sweet sub-acid, and in size sim-
ply immense, berries averaging large;
many over 2% inches in diameter and
7 inches in circumference. Its equal
has not been produced on this conti-
nent.” Another says: “Exceeds all oth-
ers in size, quality and productiveness.”

CLYDE (S)—Season medium. It has
been many years since a berry has
been introduced which created such a
furore among growers as this. Its
strong points may be enumerated as
follows: Enormously productive, ber-
ries large, cone-shaped, as pretty as a
top, bright crimson to the center, and
seems to succeed on all soils. By all
means give this berry a trial.

EVERBEARING—Berries medium, good
flavor, prolific bearer. Bears from be-
ginning of season until freezing.

GANDYS PRIZE (S)—One of the most
popular extra late sorts. The berries
are large, cone-shaped and as even as
a top, and perhaps as largely pianted
as any late variety. It is very produc-
tive, considering it ripens its berries
nearly all at once and after most other
varieties are running small, so the
grower is still able to supply his cus-
tomers with fine large berries.

GLEN MARY (S)—tThis is becoming a

great favorite; big, deep red, rich,
meaty berries.

HCOD RIVER (Clark’s Seedling)—Orig-

inated at Hood River, Oregon, where
it is planted to the exclusion of all
others for long distance shipments;
large, round and smooth; color a beau-
tiful dark red, and in quality is unsur-
passed. Ripens early.

MAGOON—This new berry was origin-

ated near Portland, Oregon, and prom-
ises to be one of the leading berries in
the Northwest. A good shipping and
canning variety. Ripens about ten days
later than Hood River.

MARSHALL—Berries very large, hand-
some, rightly flavored, of excellent
quality; with high culture the strong,
healthy plants produce great crops.
Early and a most valuable market sort.

SENATOR DUNLAP (P)—This is an all

round, rough and ready producer. The
plant is sturdy, and it yields heavy
crops of best quality berries. With its
clean, healthy foliage it has no ten-
dency to rust. The berries are very
large, roundish conical, regular, with
slight neck. They are glossy crimson
in color, with the meat firm and solid,
deep crimson throughout. It will not
disappoint the grower. Indeed, it has
proved itself to be a better berry than
it was thought to be by those who had
not fruited it before. It is far better
than Warfield, which it resembles
somewhat. It should be extensively
planted, as it occupies a place among
the best.

WARFIELD (P)—This has succeeded ev-

erywhere and with everybody. Sells
well and ships well; bears immense
crops of dark blood red berries. One of
the very best for canning. Don’t fail
to plant some of this variety.

WILLIAM BELT—Very popular on heavy,

rich land; berries are of the very larg-
est and their bright color makes them
great sellers; grow in hills or hedge
rows for best results.

more effectively than on the low
spreading bushes that are usually seen.
It forms a symmetrical miniature tree
that is extremely well adapted either
for massing or planting singly. Price,
75¢c each.

Snowball

SNOWBALL (Viburnum)—Common (V.
opulus)—A well known favorite shrub
of large size, with globular clusters of
pure white flowers in the latter part
of May. Price, 40c each.

VAN HOLDERBEKE NURSERY CO., SPOKANE, WASHINGTON

Flowering Shrubs—Continued

Spirea Van Houttei

SPIREA VAN HOUTTEI (S. Van Hout-
tei)—The most showy of all the Spi-
reas, and one of the very best flower-
ing shrubs in cultivation. The plant is
a rather tall, upright grower, with
long, slender branches that droop
gracefully with their weight of foliage

and flowers. Flowers pure white, in
great clusters and whorls, forming cyl-
indrical plumes two or three feet long.
This is one of the hardiest of all the
Spireas. Price, 35c each.

SYRINGA, GOLDEN-LEAVED (P. Foliis

Aureis)—A beautiful new variety with
bright yellow foliage, which affords
pretty contrasts with other shrubs, es-
pecially with the purple-leaved variety.
Price, 40c each.

BECHTEL’S FLOWERING CRAB—Most

beautiful of all the fine varieties of
flowering crabs. At a distance the
pretty medium sized tree seems to be
covered with dainty little roses of a
delicate pink color. Blooms when quite
young. Is very fragrant; very hardy.
We place this at the head of the list
for a beautiful sweet scented flowering
small tree. Grows to 8 to 10 feet.
Price, 50c each.

their handsomest when planted side ty
side. [Hach 65c; 6 for $3.00.

PANICULATA—A native of Japan. A

beautiful and rapid growing climber,
which in a very brief time will cover
any ordinary veranda. The flowers are
small, pure white and delightiully fra-
grant, and are borne in enormcus
masses, almost concealing the foliage.
Entirely free from blight and regaide1
as a great acquisition. Each, 65c; 6

son, sometimes shaded with maroon;
long pointed buds and large, finely
formed flowers. Extra fine.

GENERAL JACQUEmiNOT—Brilliant
crimson; very large, globular and ex-
cellent; a free bloomer; unsurpassed
in its clear, rich crimson, scarlet color.

PAUL NEYRON—F lowers of immense
size, often five inches in diameter.
Color deep clear rose, very fresh and
pretty. The plant is a strong, healthy
grower, with glossy foliage and is one
of the most prolific bloomers in the
Hybrid class; young plants in the nurs-
ery rows blooming almost without in-
termission from June to late October.

PRINCE CAMILLE DE ROHAN—Very
dark, This rose is of a rich, velvety
crimson, passing to an intense maroon
shaded black, large, full flowerers. One
of the darkest roses and very hand-
some.

ULRICH BRUNNER—RExtra large, bold
flowers, full and globular. Color rich,

Page Twenty-eight

glowing crimson, elegantly flamed with
scarlet.

HELEN GOULD (Hybrid Tea)—Free
growing and vigorous for its color, it
is remarkably constant in blooming,
every new shoot producing a flower.
The blooms are bright rosy carmine red,
the buds are well formed, the fragrance
is delightful, and taken altogether, it
is a variety that should be generally
planted.

ETOILE DE LYON—This magnificent
Tea Rose is rich, golden-yellow; strong,
healthy and vigorous grower. Immense
bloomer, bearing flowers and buds early
and late. Remarkably hardy with us.

MADAME CAROLINE TESTOUT (Hy-
brid Tea, Forcing)—A wonderful rose.
The petals are large, and of elegant La
France form; exquisitely edged and
bordered with clear silver rose. Flow-
ers and buds are extra large, color
brilliant, satiny rose.

MAMAN COCHET (Tea)—This is our
favorite rose, It is of the largest size,
the flower is built up or rounded and
very double, the color is a deep, rosy
pink, the inner side of the petals be-
ing a silvery rose, shaded and touched
with golden yellow. Very vigorous, de-
liciously fragrant.

Oe

VAN HOLDERBEKE NURSERY CO., SPOKANE, WASHINGTON

MADAME ALFRED CARRIER—Flesh
white and salmon yellow at base of
petals. One of the best pillar roses.

LA FRANCE (Hybrid Tea)—Perhaps no
rose is better known or more highly
valued than La France. Both flowers
and buds are of grand size. Color, a
silvery rose, changing to pink. A gen-
eral favorite and the sweetest of all
roses.

WHITE LA FRANCE (Tea)—This mag-
nificent rose is a pure white La France,
having just a breath of rose-tinted
blush, decidedly clouding the depths of
its broad petals; the buds and flowers
are extra large, very full and finely
formed; the fragrance is delicious.

Frau Karl Druschki

FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI (Hybrid Tea)
—Is undoubtedly one of the grandest
hardy, pure-white roses ever intro-
duced. Makes splendid buds and im-
mense flowers; perfectly double and
delightfully fragrant; large, thick pet-
als very durable and handsome; bright,
shining green leaves, elegantly veined;
a healthy, vigorous grower; and a con-
stant and abundant bloomer. The most
beautiful and satisfactory snow-white
perpetual rose ever seen.

KAISER AUGUSTA VICTORIA—A beau-
tiful rose, with elegant, large pointed
buds and very large, full double flow-
ers; color delicate creamy white; de-
liciously fragrant, The plant is a
strong, healthy grower and constant
bloomer, one of the choicest and most
trustworthy garden roses.

PERLE VON GODESBURG (H. T.) Yel-

low—This new yellow rose is identical
with Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, in ev-
ery way save in color. Is very popular.

GEN. ROBT. E. LEE—Elegant long-point-

ed buds of a deep orange yellow. The
color is so rich and peculiar as to at-
tract attention whenever seen.

CRIMSON RAMBLER—This is one of

the most decided novelties in roses we
have had for years. The plant is a
vigorous grower, making shoots from
eight to ten feet long in a season. A
charming pillar rose; for covering trel-
lises or buildings there is nothing finer,
The flowers are grown to great pyra-
midal panicles, each carrying thirty to
forty blooms; the individual flowers
are one to one and one-half inches in
diameter and remain in perfect condi-
tion on the plants for a long time. The
color is bright, vivid crimson, showing
none of the purplish tint so commonly
seen in crimson roses.

YELLOW RAMBLER—Flowers of me-

dium size, in immense clusters, very
sweet scented; a clear, decided yellow.
The hardiest of all climbing roses; of
a vigorous growth, often making a
growth of ten to twelve feet in a sea-
son.

WHITE RAMBLER—Resembles Crimson

Rambler in foliage and habit; flowers
pure white.

BABY RAMBLER—This great novelty

originated at Orleans, France, and is
a hybrid produced by the crossing of
crimson Rambler and Glorie des Poly-
anthus. It preserves the prolific flow-
ering quality of the latter, but with the
color of the Crimson Rambler (clear
brilliant ruby rose). The foliage is of
a fine polished dark green, and is never
attacked by insects or fungus. — It
blooms in clusters and is very contin-
uous. The time of blooming of the first
umbel is not ended when the adjacent
branches are ready to open.

REINE MARIE HENRIETTE (T. Climb-

ing)—Large, full, pointed bud; cherry
red; often called the Red Gloire de
Dijon.

GLOIRE DE DIJON—Noted for the great

size of its flowers, its delicate tea
scent, and its shades of color, being a
blending of amber, carmine and cream.
A magnificent climber.

DO ROTHY PERKINS—Beautiful, shell-

pink color, which holds for a long time,
fading finally to a lively deep rose, very
sweetly scented. Fully equal to Crim-
son Rambler in foliage, hardiness,
habit of growth and blooming qualities.

Advice to Correspondents

Please read the following articles before making out your orders:

1. All orders should be sent in as early as possible, as it is our rule to exe-
cute them in the order in which we receive them.

2. The names of every variety should be plainly written on the order sheet
so as to prevent mistakes.

3. In case of lists of varieties we will fill out as near as possible, substituting
with the next best variety in color and size with the correct label attached unless
ordered not to do so.

4. We pay freight on all orders amounting to $15.00 or over and box and pack
free, guaranteeing safe arrival.

5. C. O. D. orders will not be accepted unless accompanied by one-third the
amount and the shipping point has an express agent.

6. All communications regarding varieties and prices not contained herein or
any advice when desired will be cheerfully given.

7. Where contracts are made to deliver trees at any particular place our re-
sponsibility ceases the day on which the purchasers are notified to receive their
orders.

8. All trees are carefully labeled and packed in the best possible manner.

9. Our customers are requested to notify us immediately of any errors that
may be committed in filling out their orders so we may at once make ample
amends, aS we desire to conduct our business in all respects satisfactorily to those
who favor us with their orders.

Guarantee of Genuineness

10. Our trees are all budded or grafted from bearing trees, as far as possible,
and every care and precaution is exercised to have them true to name; still, with
all our caution, mistakes are liable to be made, but we hold ourselves in readiness,
on proper proof, to replace all trees and other stock that may be untrue to label,
free of charge, or to refund the amount paid. It is mutually understood and agreed
to between purchasers and ourselves however, that our guarantee of genuineness
shall in no case make us liable for any sum greater than that originally paid us
for said trees, etc., that prove untrue.

11. We replace any trees which may fail to live, at half price, if trees have
been planted, watered and cared for properly, provided that we receive a specified
list before September 1st.
