Parties representing themselves as our Agents, who cannot
produce certificates of recent date bearing our signature, should be
treated as imposters. Our reputation in time past has been
smirched in some sections by persons who had surreptitiously gotten
possession of our Catalogues, having represented themselves to have
been our Agents, who, in fact, had no dealings with us. They
were “ wolves in sheep’s clothing ; ” in other words, they covered
their fradulent practices by misappropriating our good name and
enviable reputation.

Geneva, N. Y.

Notice to Customers

1. Orders should be sent in as early as possible, that there may be plenty of time for
shipping long distances when necessary.

2. Buyers, ordering by mail, should list their wants plainly on a separate sheet , and
not in the body of the letter, and thus prevent mistakes which might otherwise occur.

3. We suggest that purchasers leave the selection of varieties with us so far as possible,
merely stating the proportion of summer, fall and winter fruit wanted, incident to our
experience enabling us to select such sorts as are adapted to the locality.

4. Immediate notice should be given to us of any error in filling an order, that we may
at once rectify the mistake or give a satisfactory explanation.

LOW EXPRESS RATES ON TREES AND PLANTS

Express companies now carry trees and plants to any part of the country at a reduction
of 20 per cent, from regular merchandise rates.

FUMIGATION AND INSPECTION

Our nurseries are inspected twice each year by the State Entomologist, and are kept
free from all insects and pests, but in order to satisfy patrons that everything is perfectly
free from scale, pests, etc., we will on request fumigate the goods shipped to them.

To estimate the number of plants required for an acre at any given distance, multiply the distance
between the rows by the distance between the plants, which will give the number of square feet
allotted to each plant, and divide the number of square feet in an acre (43,560) by this number, and the
quotient will be the number of plants required.

Just A Moment!!!

Mr. J. C. Merrin,

Mount Vernon, Ohio.

Dear Sir:- —

In reply to yours of the 9th inst., will say that The M. H. Harman Co. is in my opinion one of
the best firms you could work for. I am personally acquainted with Mr. Harman, the Manager, and
consider him a straightforward, honest man.

As to the nursery stock there is none better.

They grow a large variety of Fruit and Ornamental Trees, also an immense stock of Shrubs.
They take great care in growing, digging and packing stock. Also are very particular to give
parties just what is ordered, in way of varieties.

Being one of the State Inspectors of Nurseries, I examine every row of their stock each season,
hence feel safe in expressing the opinion that you could not do better than to engage with
The M. H. Harman Co. Yours truly,

C. H. DARROW.

To do justice is to examine;

To examine is to order a sample bill of goods;
To sample is to purchase more;

and to freely purchase

commodities propagated by

THE M. H HARMAN COMPANY

is to derive complete and enduring
satisfaction from your investment

Extract from letter of July 9th, 1912, written by C. D. Bennett, General Agent for The Ocean
Accident & Guarantee Corporation, of London, England:

“I don’t want to burden you with a long story, for I presume you are not particularly interested;
but from information obtained I know that you fulfill your contracts, not only to the letter but in
the spirit as well, therefore I wish to give you the facts as to my dealings with .”

Introduction

It is hardly necessary for us, in presenting this new and revised edition of our General Catalogue, to devote much
space to introduction.

For more than sixty-five years, The “Geneva Nursery” has been before the public, as an acknowledged leader
among the great nursery concerns of the world, and we are privileged to say, that the experienced management which has
characterized it from its beginning, and the unsurpassed facilities for growing and handling stock which it possesses,
enables it still to hold that position.

We have used every means to keep in the lead in introducing new varieties, and as soon as their value is established
they are offered to our patrons with a candid statement as to their worth.

We believe we stand at the head among nurseries of the country in the matter of growing every plant suitable for
this climate, and we have in our employ such a force of skilled assistants that we are in a position to assure our patrons
that their orders will be carefully and correctly filled.

We offer and accept orders for only such varieties as we can supply. If, through any oversight in filling orders,
mistakes may occur, purchase money will be refunded or other stock will be furnished in lieu thereof.

We aim to supply only the best of stock, and at the lowest prices consistent with the quality of goods offered.

We wish to thank the public for the liberal patronage which it has given us for more than half a century, and solicit
a continuance of the same.

We extend an. invitation to our patrons to visit our nurseries and see for themselves the extent of our plant and
study our methods.

OUR LOCATION AND ADVANTAGES

Our Location, being in the most delightful and fertile-growing region in the State of New York, gives us facilities
for growing nursery stock equaled by few, and surpassed by none; it is easy of access to all parts of the country in the
shipping and transportation of trees.

Our land contains all the mineral elements needed to produce the hardiest, healthiest and thriftiest trees,
those which are the longest lived, and which will produce the best possible results for the planter. For these reasons
we claim great advantages from our soil. This is a matter of the greatest importance to every planter. It pays
to produce the best and that “only.” It is one of the first laws of Nature, that in order to obtain the best, we must
have the best to produce from.

A very important feature in connection with our trees is that grown upon our heavy, strong, rich, well-drained
soil, they are healthier, longer-lived, less liable to injury from extreme cold, and more productive than when taken from
a light soil, and that being furnished with a more abundant supply of healthy, well-ripened and fibrous roots, they
bear transplanting to a different soil and climate. ^

TREES AS THEY ARE RECEIVED FROM THE
NURSERY.

HINTS ON TRANSPLANTING, ETC.

The following points should never be overlooked:

1st, Preparation of the Soil — -Prepare a rich, deep bed of mellow soil,
and have the land sufficiently drained to relieve the roots from stand-
ing water. To insure a fine growth, land should be in as good condition
as is required for a crop of wheat, corn or potatoes.

2d, Pruning before Planting — Nearly all the Trees taken from the
Nursery require pruning before transplanting, to balance the loss of
roots occasioned by their removal. The tops should be shortened in by
cutting off half the last season’s growth of all the branches, but large
branches should not be cut off close to the trunk, as it injures the vitality
of the tree.

All broken or bruised roots should be cut off smoothly up to the
sound wood, so as to hasten the emission of new roots and fibers.

3d, Planting — Make the holes large enough to admit the roots
without any cramping or bending, and deep enough to bring the tree
to its natural depth. The fine surface soil should be used in covering
the roots, and this should be carefully worked among them. If the
ground is dry, it is well to pour in some water when the hole is
partially filled. See that the ground is firmly and solidly packed over
all parts of the roots by exerting the full weight of the planter upon it,
so that there will be no opportunity for dry air or frost to enter and
destroy roots deprived of the full benefit of their natural protection.
Omission to pack the earth solidly is a most frequent cause of failure in
planting nursery stock. Fill the holes full enough to be even with the
surrounding surface after the fresh earth settles. Always remove the
label when planting. If this is left until the tree i$ grown, the connect-
ing wire often cuts into and destroys the tree or branch to which it is
attached. Never use manure in contact with roots. When planting
dwarf trees set them low enough to cover the stock upon which they
are budded, but not lower. Large standard trees should be staked
and tied, so that the wind will not loosen the roots. This should be
so done that the bands will not chafe the trees.

THE M. H. HARMAN COMPANY

4th, Mulching.- — When trees or bushes are planted, they should be
mulched or covered with a layer of coarse manure or litter from three
to six inches deep for a space of say two feet more in diameter than
the extent of the roots. This keeps the earth moist 'and of even
temperature.

5th, After Culture. Grass should not be allowed to grow about
young trees or plants. The ground should be cultivated for a space of
at least one foot outside the roots. If the ground is poor it should be
enriched with surface applications of manure. Pruning should be
varied according to the condition of the tree, and the purpose of the
planter. It should be done regularly every spring, before the buds
swell any. In this way the removal of large branches will be avoided.

SPRAYING

Spraying has come to be an established part of fruit-growing. With all that has been written upon the subject ,
the fruit-grower should be competent to perform the ordinary spraying of his trees without further advice : but to those

who may not be familiar with the methods and practice, we would say, procure a copy of Bulletin No. 101 by Prof. L. H.
Bailey, from the Cornell University Experiment Station, in which will be found the most important points regarding
sprays, arranged in such a manner that the grower can see at a glance what to apply, when and how to make the applica-
tions.

HOME MADE LIME SULPHUR*

Lime. Use only fresh lump lime free from dust or from partly air slaked lumps. No air slaked lime should be used.
The lime should test not less than 90 per cent, pure lime (calcium oxide) and should not contain more than 5 per cent,
magnesium oxide.

Sulphur. Either flowers of sulphur or light or heavy sulphur flour may be used.

FORMULA AND DIRECTIONS: f

Lump Lime (pure) M ( 36 pounds

Sulphur 80 pounds

Water 50 gallons

“Break the lime into rather small lumps. Place in kettle, or if live steam is used, in barrel or vat, and slake it with
hot water. Make a smooth paste of the sulphur with water. Add this to the lime as slaking commences, and mix
thoroughly. When the lime is all slaked, add the rest of the 50 gallons of water, and enough more as needed from time
to time during the boiling to keep the quantity up to 50 gallons. When steam is used for cooking, extra water may not
be needed. Use a measuring stick notched at the 50 gallon mark to show how much water needs to be added to keep
the volume up to 50 gallons. Do not let it drop more than an inch below the 50 gallon mark at any time. Dash a
little cold water into the kettle to stop the boiling for a moment while measuring. Keep well stirred to break up lump,
and prevent caking on the sides of the kettle. Boil vigorously from 45 minutes to one hour, or till the sulphur is all
dissolved. Use a kettle of sufficient capacity to prevent loss from boiling.

When through with the boiling bring the volume up to 50 gallons and strain it without trying to separate it from
the finer sediment which passes through the sieve. The coarse particles which do not go through the strainer are kept
for later boilings.”

PREPARATION OF SELF-BOILED LIME SULPHUR

The 8-8-50 formula is recommended. This mixture can best be prepared in rather large quantities — say enough
for 200 gallons at a time, making the formula 32 pounds of lime and 32 pounds of sulphur to be cooked with 8 or 10
gallons of water, and then diluted to 200 gallons.

“The lime should be placed in a barrel and enough water poured on to almost cover it. As soon as the lime begins
to slake the sulphur should be added first, after running it through a sieve to break up the lumps. The mixture should
be constantly stirred and more water added as needed to form a thick paste at first, and then gradually a thin paste.

‘Parrott & Schoene, N. Y. State (Geneva) Bui. 330.

GENEVA, NEW YORK

The lime will supply enough heat to boil the mixture several minutes. As soon as it is well slaked, water should be added
to cool the mixture and prevent further cooking. It is then ready to be strained into the spray tank, diluted and applied.

“The stage at which cold water should be poured on to stop the cooking varies with different limes. Some limes are
so sluggish in slaking that it is difficult to obtain enough heat from them to cook the mixture at all, while other limes
become intensely hot on slaking and care must be taken not to allow the boiling to proceed too far. If the mixture is
allowed to remain hot fifteen or twenty minutes after the slaking is completed, the sulphur goes into solution, com-
bining with the lime to form sulphides, which are injurious to peach foliage. It is very important, especially with hot
lime, to cool the mixture quickly by adding a few buckets of water as soon as the lumps of lime have slaked down. The
intense heat, violent boiling, and constant stirring result in a uniform mixture of finely divided sulphur and lime,
with only a very small percentage of the sulphur in solution. This mixture should be strained to take out the coarse
particles of lime, but the sulphur should be carefully worked through the strainer.’’

ARSENATE OF LEAD

Aresenate of Lead 6 pounds

Water 100 gallons

It is better to purchase arsenate of lead than to attempt to make it. In mixing, preparatory to spraying, the
amount of arsenate of lead for each spray tank full should be worked into a very thin paste having the appearance of
milk of lime. It should never be thrown as a mass into the spray tank. This is a standard spray for codling moth
and other eating insects. It is possible, however, that we shall use arsenite of zinc in the future.

KEROSENE EMULSION

Kerosene 2 gallons

Hard Soap (whale-oil soap) X pound

Water 1 gallon

Dissolve soap in water by boiling; add hot suds to the kerosene. Do not do this near a fire. Agitate the mixture
with a spray pump so as to emulsify the oil. After five minutes the mixture becomes creamy. To use, dilute the above
stock solution at the rate of one gallon to ten gallons of water. This is a standard remedy for destroying green aphis,
wooly aphis, mealy bugs and other plant lice. It may be used instead of the tobacco solutions if desired.

CORROSIVE SUBLIMATE

(Bichloride of Mercury)

This is the standard disinfectant when working with PEAR BLIGHT. No other disinfectant should be used to
wash the cut surfaces or to disinfect the pruning tools.

Corrosive Sublimate 1 part

Water 1000 parts

Corrosive sublimate may be purchased in tablet form at drug stores and directions for making solutions will be
found on the container. Never put corrosive sublimate into a metallic container, always use a glass bottle. Be sure
to label the bottle “Poison” in large, plain letters. It is the deadliest of poisons.

WHITEWASHES!

1. Government Whitewash

Lime (unslaked) 40 pounds Spanish Whiting X pound

Salt 15 pounds Glue 1 pound

Rice Flour (or ground rice) 3 pounds Water 5 gallons

Slake the lime in warm water and cover so as to keep in the steam; strain through a fine sieve or strainer; add
the salt, well dissolved in warm water. Then add the rice boiled hot; the Spanish whiting; and finally the glue which
has been previously dissolved over a slow fire. Lastly, add the five gallons of hot water. Stir well and let stand for
a few days. Apply hot with a brush. One pint of the mixture will cover a square yard. Coloring matter may be put
in, such as Spanish brown, yellow ochre, etc.

HOW TO SPRAY

Drench every part of the tree. Spray thoroughly. The most difficult places to reach should receive your most
careful attention. Reach every crack, calyx cup, behind buds and in bud scales. Do not economize on spray material
and sacrifice efficiency. Use a high pressure pump. 200 pounds pressure should be maintained. Spraying out of
season is valueless. Determine what you must spray for. Use the right kind of material.

Repeat every 10-15 days until flowers appear. Burn leaves as soon
as crop is harvested.

Thrips

Nicotine Extract (2.7 per ct.) 6 qts.

Water 100 gals

Soap 2 to 5 lbs

The period for effective spraying against the adult thrips, is during
the time when the buds are swollen and partly open, and until they are
entirely open at the tips. Spray for the larvae after the petals drop to
reduce the numbers of insects for the following year.

Apple Scab

Arsenate of Lead
3 lbs. to 50 gallons

First application. Just before blossoms open, for apple scab and
various leaf-eating insects, use lime-sulphur solution (320 Beaume)
diluted with forty parts of water, with two to three pounds arsenate of
lead to forty gallons. May be omitted if insects are few and weather is
dry.

Second application. When blossoms are about two-thirds off, give
same treatment as (2). This is the most important spraying for apple
scab and codling moth. Should never be omitted.

Third application. About two weeks later repeat (2) if weather is
favorable for apple scab; that is, moist and warm.

Fourth application. About first week in August repeat (2) to prevent
late infections of apple scab and to control second brood of codling
moth.

PEARS

Spray as for apples. As foliage appears to be more susceptible to
injuries by the spraying mixture, dilute the concentrated lime-sulphur
solution (320 B.) in the proportions of 1 to 50 and apply the liquid in
minimum quantities, using nozzles with fine apertures.

For life history of codling moth write to Experiment Station, Geneva.

_ Repeat once or twice at intervals of two weeks. If latter applica-
tions are necessary use ammonical copper carbonate solution.

Plum Curculio

Arsenate of Lead

PLUMS

First application. When “husks” or calyces drop, spray with
arsenate of lead, 3 lbs. to 50 gals, of water for the curculio. For leaf
spot on European varieties use bordeaux mixture 5-5-50 with arsenate
of lead.

Second application. For leaf spot repeat spraying with bordeaux
mixture about ten days later.

Japanese varieties of plums should be sprayed as directed for peaches.
CHERRIES

Spray as for plums for San Jose scale and the curculio.

PEACHES

First application. When “husks” or calyces are dropping use two
pounds of arsenate of lead to fifty gallons of water for the curculio.
The self-boiled lime-sulphur mixture may be used as carrier of the
poison to control also brown rot and scab.

Second application. Two or three weeks later use 88-8-50 self-
boiled lime-sulphur mixture and two pounds of arsenate of lead.

Third application. About one month before fruit ripens repeat
treatment with self boiled mixture, omitting the poison.

Aphis

on fruit trees
on garden crops
Leaf Hopper

Oyster Shell Bark Louse
Red Spider

Woolly Aphis on Branches

Kerosene Emulsion or Tobacco
Black Leaf

These are contact insecticides and should be applied to exposed and
tender bodies of young. These are all sucking insects and food poisons
are of little value.

Be sure to penetrate covering of woolly aphis; be thorough, do not
allow any to escape.

Peach Brown Rot
Peach Scab

Lime Sulfur

Selfboiled 8-8-50

Spray four weeks after blossoms have fallen, again in three weeks
and about one month before fruit ripens.

Raspberry Cane Blight

Resin-Bordeaux

Apply just after leaves have fallen.

Spraying in spring before buds open may be substituted for this for
combating insects and fungus pests. However, it may be desirable to
apply in fall on account of rabbits.

Grape Mildew

Flowers of Sulfur

For mildew on grape use finely pulverized sulfur. Dust the ground
and vines freely during a warm, bright morning when the slightest
attack of mildew is suspicioned. This should not be applied while
the weather is damp or the vines wet.

Tussock Moth

Band trees

Band trees with tanglefoot or strips of raw cotton, binding it in the
middle, leaving band loose above or below. Do not apply sticky
preparations directly on bark of trees. Use bands during June, July
and August. Remove egg clusters which appear in masses as a white
froth.

Crown Gall
Fire Blight

Raspberry Cane Blight
Strawberry Crown and Root Borers
Leaf Rollers

Destroy infected parts
See notes

Crown Gall is a bacterial disease of root or crown of trees. All
infected trees should be destroyed. Keep a constant lookout for this
trouble.

Fire Blight bacteria may extend below discolored or blackened
region, hence cut should be made about one foot below. Disinfect
knife and wound with mercuric bichloride one part to 1000 parts of
water.

Strawberry plants should be dug up and burned before May 1 to
destroy insects before beetles escape to lay eggs.

For strawberry leaf roller burn top as soon as crop is gathered.

Fruit Department

APPLES

The first fruit, both in importance and general culture, is the Apple. In most sections of country, there is no farm
crop which will produce one-fourth as much income per acre as will a good apple orchard.

Our collection of apples comprises all the best and most popular kinds in cultivation.

The standard trees are intended for orchards. These are from 5 to 7 feet in height, with proportional thickness,
and from 2 to 3 years’ growth from the bud.

If apple trees are planted at the rate of fifty trees to the acre, rows of peach, cherry, or plum trees can be planted
between the apples, which growing more quickly than the apple trees, soon protect them from winds and thus prove a
great benefit to them.

After 8 or 10 years of productiveness, as the space is needed for the Apples, the Peach Trees may be removed, leaving
the orchard better for the protection, at the same time having yielded the planter a larger return for his outlay and
labor.

Apple trees will thrive on nearly all well-drained soils.

CRAB APPLES

For Ornament or Preserving

There are several points to which we wish to direct attention and upon which we base our recommendation of these
hardy fruits.

1. They can be planted in any kind of soil, and in the most exposed situations; are not injured by the coldest
weather.

2. They come into bearing very early, usually the second year from planting, and bear every year.

3. They are unequalled for cider, or vinegar and for jelly.

4. They can be dried, cooked, canned, or preserved

5. The size of the fruit varies from one and one-half 1
quarter and core for drying.

^ Gen. Grant. Of large size for a crab. Round, oblate,
cream yellow ground, broken stripes becoming dark red on
the sun exposed side; slender stem; flesh white, very mild,
sub-acid. October.

P Excelsior. Raised from seed of the Wealthy, which is
known as one of the handsomest, hardiest and best flavored
of our new fruits. Ripens in early fall, about the size of
Fameuse. Being an early crab apple, it fills a most
important place.

showy and most beautiful of all the class. Tree very
hardy. Popular and desirable. Late.

THE M. H. HARMAN COMPANY

PEARS

Our Soil is especially well adapted for producing the finest and
hardiest pear trees, those containing the most life, body and strength, and
it has been for many years an admitted fact that our pear trees cannot be
excelled.

Standard Trees on pear stock are preferable for the orchard. These
are best from four to six feet high.

Dwarfs are budded on the Angers Quince (marked Q on the list) , and
are best for the garden; they should be two or three years old, and from
three to five feet high, having been well cut back in the nursery rows
when one year old, to produce long side branches. They should be planted-
in rich, well tilled soil, and kept under good cultivation. The general
rule is to remove every spring, after hard freezing is over, and before the sap
starts, one-half or two-thirds of the previous summer’s growth.

These dwarf trees must always be planted sufficiently deep to cover
the junction of the pear and quince, 2 to 3 inches.

Gathering Pears — Most varieties of pears are greatly inferior in
flavor when allowed to ripen on the tree. . Gather when, on gently lifting
the fruit, the stem will readily separate from the limb ; this will be from one
to two weeks before they are ripe. Ripen in the house, placing the fruit
in a dark room until fully matured. Winter pears should hang on the tree until there is danger of frost — say from
first to tenth of October.

Thin the Fruit — We cannot urge too strongly the following suggestion: When pear trees are heavily laden the

fruit should be thinned when about one-third grown, else the fruit will be poor and the trees injured.

The pear succeeds in most soils, but does best on a rather heavy clay or loam.

CHERRIES

Being the earliest fruit in market, the cherry holds a strong place in public favor and for this reason commands
a good price in all markets.

Farmers are planting cherry trees extensively on the road sides and on lawns for shade and fruit, thus combining
usefulness and profit, and for these two purposes the stronger growing varieties are to be preferred, especially the black
sorts.

The cherry tree universally requires a dry soil, and is naturally a hardy tree, succeeding in the lightest soil, or dryest
situations. Cherries are divided into two classes. Hearts and Bigarreau, varieties of rapid growth, with large glossy
leaves, forming fine pyramid shaped heads, and producing large crops of luscious sweet fruit. Dukes and Morellos,
which are all of slender growth and do not attain so large a size, generally produce acid fruit, are also hardier and better
.adapted for raising fruit for market. Many trees produce from five to six bushels per tree.

Heart and Bigarreau Cherries

r Black Heart. Hardy, strong, large grower. Fruit
/above medium size; skin glossy dark purple, becoming deep
v black, when fully ripe. Ripens last of June.

Black Eagle. Large, black; tender, rich and high
flavored. Tree a rapid, stout grower, forms a dense head;
moderate bearer. Beginning of July.
v Black Tartarian. Very large, bright purple, glossy black;
half tender, juicy, rich and fine. Tree a rapid, vigorous,
upright grower and great bearer. One of the popular
kinds. Ripens last of June and beginning of July.

[/ Coe’s Transparent. Vigorous growth. Medium; pale
amber and red; one of the best. Ripening end of June.

./ Downer’s Late. Rather large, light red; very tender,
juicy, rich, sweet and delicious; hangs long on the tree, and
uot liable to rot in wet weather. Tree hardy, vigorous; a
regular and great bearer. Middle of July.

Y Dikeman. This gem among Cherries has the advantage
of being the latest ripening Sweet Cherry known; hence,
placed on the market two or three weeks after other sorts
are gone, it commands highest price. Black, good size, and
in texture reminds one of the Cherries from the Pacific
slope, being meaty and solid. It is this quality alone
which makes it such a good shipper and keeps it so long.

Y Early Purple Guigne. Medium, purple; tender, juicy,
rich and sweet. Tree hardy, slender and of spreading

growth, and a good bearer. The earliest fine variety.
First to middle of July.

L' Elkhom. Large; flesh purple, juicy, tender, fine flavor;
productive. Middle of July.

' Governor Wood. Large; light yellow and bright red;
nearly tender, juicy, sweet, rich and delicious. Tree very
vigorous and productive; one of the most popular. Middle
to end of June.

' Ida. An abundant bearer of luscious yellow and red
fruit. Ripens in June. We consider this the best light
colored cherry grown.

^ Lambert. Very large, dark purplish red turning almost
jet black when ripe. Flesh firm, rich and juicy; an
enormous bearer.

/ Mercer (New). Fruit large, dark red, fine flavored,
sweet. A good shipper; tree very hardy; an annual
bearer and not liable to be wormy or rot. It gives great
promise of being one of the very best for orchard or family
purposes. Early.

Y Napoleon Bigarreau. Very large, pale yellow and red;
very firm, juicy, sweet, and good. Tree spreading, vigor-
ous, and exceedingly productive. Early in July.

/ Rockport Bigarreau. Large, amber and light red; half

beautiful and productive. Last of June and first of July.

PLUMS

Plums, like pears, attain
the highest perfection on our
heavy soils.

We have divided our list
of plums into three general
classes, European, Japan and
Native.

The European plums are
mostly of English or French
origin and are distinguished
for their high quality. They
require good cultivation and
the most intelligent care of
any fruit, but they richly
repay the diligent orchardist.

Japan plums are attrac-
ting the attention of growers
because of their showy
appearance, their fungus re-
sisting foliage and adapta-
bility to almost any soil
and climate.

Native plums are hardy, produce large crops mostly of early and medium sized highly colored fruit. They seem
to thrive in the most unfavorable locations of soil and climate. When planting this type, several varieties should be
planted in the same orchard so the blossoms will fertilize properly.

PEACHES

The peach tree requires a well drained, moderately rich soil; warm, sandy loam is probably the best.

In order to preserve the continued healthy growth of the tree and the fine quality of the fruit, the peach should
have the shoots and branches cut back to one-half the preceding season’s growth every year, so as to preserve a round
vigorous head; this should be done the last of February, or as early in the spring as practicable. The land should not
be seeded to grass, but kept in constant cultivation until August.

The following varieties have been selected out of hundreds, the best only being chosen. They turmsh a succession
for about two months, commencing the early part of August.

stone; flesh yellow and of a uniform
color and texture to the pit. Hardy

QUINCES

The quince is well known and highly esteemed for cooking and preserving. One of the most profitable for orchard
planting.

The trees are hardy and compact in growth, require but little space, productive, give regular crops and come early
into bearing.

They require good deep soil, which should be kept clean and mellow, with an occasional dressing of manure, but do
not need severe pruning; a careful thinning out of the old decayed wood will be sufficient.

Keep a vigilant search after the borer, and thin out the fruit if bearing too freely.

Bourgeat. A new variety, of the best quality, tender
and good. Ripening shortly after Orange, and keeping till
past mid-winter. Largest size, rich golden color, smooth,
no creases. Rich velvety skin, with delicious quince odor.

two weeks later than the Orange. In growth it is very
strong, stout and rugged.

Russian Varieties

The following varieties are the best that have been
brought out; as a class, they are sufficiently hardy, but
they are not as desirable as those named in the foregoing
list.

ful and delicious. July.

1/ J. L. Budd. Strong grower and profuse bearer; white
with red cheek; sweet, juicy, the best late variety. August.
/ Golden Russian. One of the best of the Russian Apri-
cots; rich, juicy and very fine.

MULBERRIES

The Mulberry is one of the most valuable of trees. As valuable for shade as for its fruit producing qualities. A
wonderfully rapid grower, often growing 6 to 8 feet in one season. Perfectly hardy. The fruit ripens in July and con-
tinues for three months. It is rarely picked from the trees, as it falls as soon as ripe, and it is therefore the custom to
keep the surface below in a short turf, and the fruit is picked from the green grass. Invaluable for planting in yards
where chickens are kept.

l/ Dc

downing. Superseded by New American which is
hardier and better.

New American. Tree very vigorous and productive,
surpassed by none; possesses a rich, sub-acid flavor;
continues in bearing a long time. Fruit one and one-
quarter of an inch long and nearly half an inch in diameter;

color maroon or an intense blue black at full maturity;
flesh juicy, rich, sugary.

!/ Russian. Very hardy, shrub-like in form of growth,

THE M. H. HARMAN COMPANY

NUTS

The past few years have witnessed a remarkable development in the planting of nut-bearing trees. Probably no
branch of tree cultivation pays larger profits or is as well assured of a profitable market. The immense importations of
foreign nuts every year give some idea of the market to be supplied. Few farms but contain land, that, if planted to
nut bearing trees, would pay better than anything else to which it could be devoted; the nuts in many cases paying
better than farm crops or fruits, while most kinds are making a growth of valuable timber, that will of itself pay a large
per cent, on the investment.

Our native nut-bearing trees are admirably adapted for planting in streets, farm lanes, pastures, etc., for shade,
ornament and profitable returns.

Butternut (White Walnut). A native tree of medium
size; spreading head, grayish colored bark; wood very
valuable. Nut oblong and rough; highly prized for its
sweet, nutritious kernel.

V Filbert, English (Hazel Nut). This is of the easiest cul-
ture, growing 6 to 8 feet, entirely hardy, and one of the
most profitable and satisfactory nuts to grow; succeeding
on almost all soils; bearing early and abundantly. Nuts
nearly round, rich, and of excellent flavor.

Chestnut

American Sweet. A valuable native tree, both useful
and ornamental. When grown in open ground it assumes
an elegant, symmetrical form; foliage rich and glossy.
Nuts sweet, of delicate flavor, and are a valuable article of
commerce.

i/ Spanish. A handsome, round headed tree, producing
abundantly very large nuts that find a ready market at
good prices. Not as sweet as the American.

t' Paragon (New). A vigorous grower and an early,
abundant bearer; nuts very large three or four in a burr
and particularly sweet and rich.

I? Numbo. Nuts very large and of fine appearance, sweet
and early to ripen. Tree enormously productive, bearing
regularly.

Walnut

Black. A native tree of large size and majestic form,
beautiful foliage. The most valuable of all trees for its
timber which enters largely into the manufacture of fine
furniture and cabinet ware, and brings the highest price in
market. Tree a rapid grower, producing a large round nut
of excellent quality.

y English. A fine, lofty growing tree, with a handsome
spreading head. It produces immense crops of thin shelled
delicious nuts, which are always in demand ; fruit in green
state is highly esteemed for pickling.

1/ Japan. The nuts are considerably larger than the
common hickory-nut, and borne in clusters of fifteen to
twenty. The shell is a little thicker than that of the
English Walnut, which it resembles in a general way. The
trees begin to bear when two or three years old.

GRAPES

Grape vines are very easily transplanted when young, if thrifty plants are used.

Dig holes from eight to ten inches deep and large enough so the roots may be spread naturally, without crossing
each other; distribute the finest soil among them and pack firmly.

Cultivate thoroughly through the season; the spring following planting, after the buds swell, cut off all but the two
best lowest buds permitting two canes only to grow. In the fall cut one cane four to six feet to bear the next year, and
cut one back to two eyes again to form new wood for the following year’s crop.

There is a large list of novelties but we name only those that thrive in most localities.

Moore’s Early

Black and Blue Varieties

Campbell’s Early. A fine new grape. Clusters large,
compact and handsome, berries large, nearly round, black,

will grow the first season. Thin out the old wood yearly, opening the bush considerably.

At the first appearance of currant worms they are easily destroyed by sprinkling with a can of water in which

powdered white hellebore is stirred — (one ounce to three gallons).
Plant in rows five feet apart and three feet in row.

for it by the originator when first introduced, and is the best red
currant known. It has been widely planted, and has given general
satisfaction; fruit very large, bright red, and of excellent flavor,
less acid than Cherry. It has a long stem, which admits of rapid pick-
ing, and is enormously productive. One of the most valuable fruits of
recent introduction. Comes into bearing early.

[f La Versailles. Very large, red; long bunch of great beauty and
excellent quality. One of the finest and best. Very productive.

\ Lee’s Prolific (Black). The largest in berry and bunch, and best in
quality and productiveness of any black variety yet introduced.

ASPARAGUS

To make a good asparagus bed the plants may be set in the fall or early spring. Prepare a place of fine loamy soil
to which has been added a liberal dressing of good manure. Select two-year or strong one-year plants, and for a garden,
set in rows 18 to 20 inches apart, with plants 10 to 12 inches in the row.

The roots should be spread and planted so that the crowns, when covered shall be three inches below the surface of
the ground. If planted in the fall the whole bed should be covered before winter sets in with two or three inches of stable
manure which may be lightly forked in between the rows as soon as the ground opens in the spring.

succulent. Its mammoth size always commands a fancy
price.

Palmetto. It sells at quite an advance over other varie-
ties on account of its mammoth size. Quality not excelled
by any.

Conover’s Colossal. Highly recommended for its
immense size, and being remarkably tender and high
flavored.

Donald’s Elmira. Color a delicate green, different from
other varieties, while the stalks are more tender and

RHUBARB OR PIE PLANT

JUNE RASPBERRY

RASPBERRIES

For field culture raspberries should be planted in rows four to six feet apart, two and one-half to three feet in rows,
depending on the character of growth of sorts planted.

The first year after planting cut the canes about two feet from the ground and when grown eighteen inches pinch
off the ends which will cause them to branch, repeat this when a new growth comes to make stocky plants. The follow-
ing spring shear off a third of the wood leaving a round bush.

Only five or six shoots should be left on sorts that sucker. Cut off all others.

Red and Purple Raspberries

Cardinal. The best of the purple raspberries and a most
desirable variety for home use. Vigorous in growth,
ornamental in appearance and enormously productive.

propagated by N. Y. Experiment Station and recom-
mended by them. Very large, prolific and vigorous. Good
both for canning and table use.

V Loudon. A new red raspberry which originated at
Janesville, Wis. Said to be a seedling of the Turner
crossed with Cuthbert. Large, broadly conical, beautiful
red. Ripens about with Cuthbert, continuing later, and in
quality better than that variety. One of the best:

/ Marlboro. It is a strong grower with strong side arms;
it is perfectly hardy. The large size of its dark green
foliage is the means of its early, regular and late bearing and
extraordinary size of fruit; in color a bright crimson and,
unlike others, does not loose its brilliancy when over ripe;
of a good quality and very prolific.

1/ Shaffer’s Colossal. Fruit very large purplish red,
rather soft, but luscious and of a rich, sprightly flavor. A
strong grower, hardy and enormously productive. Un-
equalled for family use, and one of the best for canning;
season medium to late.

Yellow Raspberries

V" Golden Queen. Large size, great beauty, high quality,
perfectly hardy, and very productive ; equal to Cuthbert in
size of fruit and vigor of growth. Ripens in mid-season.
No home garden should be without it.

Black Raspberries

4/ Cumberland. The bush is hardy, a vigorous grower,
and exceptionally productive. Fruit of uniform size, and
larger than any known black raspberry. Many specimens
are from seven-eighths to fifteen-sixteenths of an inch in
diameter. In quality it is equal to Gregg, ripening a few
days earlier than that variety. It is very firm and a good
shipper.

A/ Black Diamond. Berries large, very sweet and pulpy,
yet fine for shipping and evaporating. Canes strong and
fruitful. Early.

grown. It is productive, large, jet-black, without bloom,
firm, and earlier than any other Black Cap. It is a strong
grower and perfectly hardy.

^ Strawberry-Raspberry (Rubus Sorbifolius). One of the
remarkable recent introductions from Japan. A beautiful
dwarf raspberry, seeming to be a hybrid between the rasp-
berry and strawberry. Fruit is early, stands well out from
the foliage, size and shape of a strawberry, color, brilliant
crimson.

BLACKBERRIES

It is natural for blackberries to grow much stronger than raspberries, but the mode of culture is about the same.
Permit three or four canes to grow the first season ; pinch back when three feet high. Prune back to four feet. Plant
in rows six to seven feet apart, three feet in a row.

|/ Agawam. Fruit medium size; jet-black, sweet; tender

enduring the winters of the far Northwest without injury.
The berries are large, jet black, borne in large clusters and
ripen well together.

Dewberries or Running Blackberries

! /Lucretia. The plants are perfectly hardy and healthy,
"and remarkably productive. The fruit which ripens with
the Mammoth Cluster raspberry, is very large, soft sweet
and luscious throughout, without any hard center or core.

t-> Rathbun. The tips touch the ground and root, thus
propagating themselves like the black cap raspberry. The
fruit is borne in clusters; berries very large, color intense
black with a high polish; small seeds; flesh juicy, high
flavored, sweet and delicious. Carries well to market. In
season medium early.

Snyder. A marvel for productiveness; fruit medium
size, sweet and melting to the core. Its value is its extreme
hardiness, standing the winters in those sections where the
Kittatinny and Early Harvest kill down.

Taylor. A good succession for Snyder in cold climates.
Ripens its large, luscious berries some weeks later. Vigor-
ous, hardy and fruitful.

' Wachusett Thornless. Fruit of medium size, oblong,
oval, moderately firm, and less acid than any blackberry
we have seen. The plant is said to do equally as well on
light and heavy soils. It is also hardy and almost free from
thorns.

1/ Wilson’s Early. Very large, shining black, retaining its
color well after picking, and fine for the table as soon as full
colored; quite firm, sweet, rich and good; ripens mainly

AND FIFTH “INDUSTRY;” THIRD “WHITESMITH”

Gooseberries thrive well on a variety of soils, if well drained and fertile. The cultivation should be thorough early
in the season.

European varieties are of a large size and various colors. The green fruit is sent to the early markets and is profitable.

The best American gooseberries are superior to European sorts in productiveness, hardiness, quality and freedom
from mildew; the curse of European varieties and their seedlings is mildew.

Mildew may be kept under control by frequent spraying with potassium sulphide. Bordeaux mixture is not recom-
mended because it spots the fruit. After the fruit is gathered the Bordeaux mixture may be used against the leaf blight.

Chautauqua (European Type). A good grower, fruit
large, pale green; quality good. (See cut.)
f/ Downing (American). “The standard of excellence,”
large, pale green and covered with a white bloom; best in
flavor and quality; a strong grower, productive and
healthy; valuable for market.

Crown Bob (European). Large, round, ovate, red,
hairy fruits, of the finest quality.

^ Josselyn. Good grower, fine foliage and a very profita-
ble fruiter when compared with any other gooseberry in
existence. The freest of all gooseberries from mildew, both
in leaf and fruit.

1/ Keepsake (European). The blossoms of this variety
are well protected by foliage, so that it is sure to set good
crops in any ordinary season. The berries are very large,
pale yellow, of good flavor and ship well. Quite produc-
tive.

\/ Houghton (American). Fruit medium size, red, thin
skinned, juicy, sweet and good in flavor and quality. Very
productive.

Industry (European). Bush a strong grower, and the
most productive of European varieties; fruit large, dark
red, mild, sub-acid, sweet and good flavor; one of the best
for market, either green or ripe.

Pearl. The most prolific gooseberry known. One bush
produced 2,500 berries. It is free from mildew and is
larger than the Downing. The color is light green and
quality first class. Being thoroughly tested, we offer it as
the best of its class yet grown.

Smith’s Improved (American). Color yellow, large,
excellent quality, pulp sweet and good.

1 Whitesmith (European). Fruit large, smooth, thin
skin and tender; color yellowish green; sweet and very
good. A very desirable variety.

STRAWBERRIES

Plant strawberries early in the spring on fertile well manured land. For field culture plant in rows three feet apart
and one foot in the rows, but for hand culture one foot by two will answer.

Mulching to keep the Fruit Clean. Before the fruit begins to ripen mulch the ground among the plants with short
hay or straw. This will not only keep the fruit clean but will prevent the ground from drying and thus lengthen the
fruiting season.

A bed will give two full crops and should then be spaded or plowed down, a new one in the meantime having been
prepared to take its place.

Notice. Those sorts marked (P.) are pistillate and should have a row of some staminate variety planted near to
insure proper fertilization and a crop.

GENEVA, NEW YORK

, EARLY

V Bederwood. An exceedingly valuable early straw-
berry. Conceded to be one of the best early berries for
home use and worthy of great praise. It is not only very
early but immensely productive. The plant is faultless, of
healthy, vigorous growth, and an enormous bearer, per-
haps equal to any of the pistillate sorts in this respect.
Berries are of large size, of regular, roundish form, light
scarlet, of excellent quality, remaining in fruit a long
time.

/ Clyde. Few strawberries have given better satisfac-
tion in all parts of the country. It is one of the very best
medium early varieties — it is a week earlier than Bubach,
and very firm; large, bright scarlet berries of fine flavor.
The plants are strong growers — deep rooting, stand drought
well, free from rust and disease. It thrives particularly
well during a dry season — with plenty of sun — bringing its
fruit to maturity under surprisingly unfavorable conditions.

V Crescent Seedling. P. Good size, a strong grower,
very productive; one of the best for market and garden.

\r Michel’s Early. The first variety to ripen here; berry
medium to large, roundish, bright crimson, firm, fair
quality; plant a strong grower and a good bearer. Valu-
able on account of its earliness and productiveness. A
fine sort to pollenize early pistillates.

1/ Sharpless. One of the best strawberries in cultivation;
has held its reputation better than any other variety.
Possesses all the good qualities looked for in a straw-
berry; the best variety for the home garden. A strong

/rower, productive and. largest size.

Warfield. P. The Warfield is a great plant maker,
covering the soil, with only fair treatment. The berries
are deep glossy red and are very attractive in market,
when well grown. It is red to the center, very firm and
much sought for by canners. It has the record of produc-
ing under test, the largest crop of any variety of straw-
berry. To do its best, it must have rich, moist soil and
good culture and the plants must be thinned somewhat.

MEDIUM

^/Bubach. P. A sterling old sort that combines many
excellent qualities; great and uniform size, rich color and
quality, extraordinary vigor and fruitfulness, fine foliage
/ that endures the hottest suns. Season early to medium.

' Dornan, or Uncle Jim. A western strawberry that is
attracting much attention for its superior merits. Plants
unusually robust, with large healthy, foliage. It is a
remarkable drought resister and a reliable producer of
extra large berries— very uniformly heart shaped— of a
bright beautiful red color and of high quality.

Glen Mary. One of the best, if extraordinarily large
size is wanted; good quality and heavy cropper. Can-
not be surpassed for home garden and nearby markets.
Berries broadly heart-shaped; color dark, glossy crimson-
fairly firm and excellent,1 quality; plant strong and
healthy.

y Parson’s Beauty. A most valuable new early berry;
very symmetrical and handsome in appearance ; dark red
color; foliage strong, rank, spotless and free from rust;
heavy bearer and splendid market variety.

' Senator Dunlap. This variety is recommended for the
average person who wishes to grow strawberries and has
had little experience. It is a very vigorous grower and
the berries are of good flavor, good canners and excellent
shippers. If given only ordinary care the yield will be
large and the quality of fruit fair. If the runners are
thinned and high culture is given, some of the finest fruits
possible to grow can be produced of this variety.

LATE

V Brandywine. One of the very reliable fruiting sorts
that can be depended on for heavy crops on a variety of
soils. Berries very large, broadly heart-shaped, bright red
to the center ; firm-fleshed and finely flavored. A valuable
late berry.

Gandy. Large and firm berries, of uniform size and
' shape. On heavy, rich loams the plant is a marvel of
vigor and fruitfulness. The best shipping, long-keeping
strawberry, as late as the latest of well tested sorts.

I/1 Marshall. Berries are beautiful and average very large.
It is peerless as an exhibition fruit and for home use.
Invariably captures the prize wherever exhibited. Al-
though of great size, the fruit is rarely ever mis-shapen.
The color is a rich glossy crimson that everyone admires —
the surface color running well into the flesh, and the
quality is far above the average. As to productiveness,
it will not yield as large a number of berries as some
varieties, but when measured in quarts or bushels, will
be above the average. The plant is faultless, a strong
grower, often standing 20 to 22 inches high, rooting deeply
and standing drought well. The large luxuriant foliage is
sufficient to protect the blossom from late frosts,
i/ Pride of Michigan. This is a very large, late straw-
berry which is in great favor among the people of its native
. State, and highly recommended by many New York State
growers.

Sample. P. A valuable, large, late variety which
promises to be an important acquisition. Sample has
scored such a marked success in many places that no
progressive grower can afford not to plant some of it.
The successful man is he who tests all really promising
varieties and quickly finds those the most perfectly suited
to his own soil, climate, etc., etc.
y Steven’s Late Champion. One of the best and most
popular late varieties grown. Makes strong, vigorous
plants which produce an abundance of fruit. Sends out a
great many runners that take root quickly and cover the
ground if not restrained. Fruit and blossoms well pro-
tected by abundance of foliage. Fruit large, long, slightly
flattened. Color is a deep red, the flesh being also red.
• It ripens all over and is very firm, being one of the best
varieties to hold up after picking.

Ornamental Department

This portion of our establishment is very extensive, where Avenue and Park trees are cultivated in large blocks;
many acres are assigned to the field culture of shrubs, and small growing trees. The borders contain the more delicate
shrubs and herbaceous plants.

Our Rose department requires large tracts of land, extensive borders and glass houses where the earliest propagation
is begun. People who have never seen a large nursery, little realize the extent of the industry, the amount of experienced
labor employed, the thorough cultivation practiced, or the amount of capital necessarily invested to keep the stock up
to the highest standard of excellence.

We are yearly adding to our stock new varieties, the choicest selections from our own and foreign countries, and

HEDGES

The idea of planting hedges for use as well as for ornament, for the protection of orchards, farms and gardens, is a
practical one, and rapidly becoming appreciated.

They serve as a protection against winds and prevent the blowing off of fruit. We know that our gardens are
earlier, and that our fruits ripen better when protected by such screens. Nothing can be more beautiful than ornamen-
tal hedges of Evergreens, or shrubs well kept and pruned to serve as boundary lines or as divisions between the lawn
and garden, or to hide unsightly places. By using medium-sized plants, a hedge can be made as cheaply as a good fence
can be built, and then, with little care, it becomes every year more and more “a thing of beauty.” An attraction in
our best-kept places.

For Ornament

Among the plants adopted to ornamental hedges, the American Arbor Vitae and the Norway Spruce take the first
place. We also recommend for more variety, the Hemlock, Siberian Arbor Vitae, Japan Quince, Althea, Barberry,
Buckthorn, Privet, Tartarian Honeysuckle, Spiraeas, Deutzia, Philadelphus, Box, and Mahonia.

For Shelter and Screens

For planting in belts to afford shelter from violent winds, or for concealing unsightly objects or views, we recommend
Norway Spruce, Austrian, Scotch and White Pine, American Arbor Vitae, to which we may add Carolina Poplar and
Silver-Leaved Maple.

Directions for Setting

Evergreens must be handled with care, so as not to allow the roots to become dried by the wind. Plants for hedges
being generally set when quite small, should be placed about nine inches apart; larger sized plants will require more space.
Buckthorn, Honey Locust and Osage orange are generally planted in double rows, about nine inches apart.

Pruning

Evergreens should be pruned in spring, just before they commence growing. Summer pruning may be practiced on
the Arbor Vitae should the growth be too rapid.

Chinese Matrimony Vine

BULBS AND BULBOUS FLOWERING ROOTS

The classes and varieties of Bulbs are so numerous that limited space does not admit of our enumerating them
in this catalogue. Suffice it to say, we can supply anything in the bulbous line possessing^merit, and will be pleased
to answer all queries regarding same.

SUMMER AND AUTUMN FLOWERING BULBS THAT REQUIRE
TAKING UP IN THE FALL, AND TO BE KEPT IN
A DRY CELLAR FROM FREEZING

GLADIOLUS

These handsome, stately flowers are universally
popular. They are robust, erect of growth, with
green sword-shaped leaves, and splendid flower scapes
rising from two to three feet in height. They are of a
variety of colors, such as orange, scarlet and vermillion
tints upon yellow and orange grounds, with various
shades from white and rosy blush and salmon rose tints
to a salmon red and nankeen.

TUBEROSE

The Tuberose is noted for its delicate beauty
and exquisite fragrance; the flowers are pure white
very double and wax-like, and borne on stems two or
three feet high.

BULBS THAT SHOULD BE PLANTED IN THE FALL

LILIES

The lilies should have a place in every garden as
they are entirely hardy, require little or no care and
make a grand display; after planting they require very
little care, and should not be disturbed for several
years, as established plants bloom more freely than if
taken up annually.

CROCUS

HYACINTHS

These are delicate and tasteful in form and varied
and gay in color. Until the flowering of the Hyacinth
and through the most changeable and unpleasant of
the spring weather the garden depends almost alone
upon the Crocus for its brightness. Plant the bulbs
in autumn about three inches apart and cover with two
inches of soil. Cover in fall with a little straw or coarse
manure to keep the bulbs from being thrown out by
frost.

GLADIOLUS

Among all the bulbs used for winter flowers, the Hyacinth stands foremost. Flowers may be produced by placing
the bulbs in a glass filled with water or placed injpots or boxes in soil. Double blue, with various shades; double red
with various shades; double white single blue, various shades; single red, various shades; single white.

TULIPS

We have a splendid assortment of fine'colors, both single and double,
of bloom. Plant in the fall. ^

Early and late varieties prolong the season

old standard varieties with an extensive range of color.

ROSES

_ VeryJ'greaHprogress has been made within the last few years in rose culture and the best list of roses of today would
nobcontain many varieties that were the best a few years ago. From the ends of the earth new varieties and new species
are'gathered, new hybrids are produced and new seedlings are grown from which careful selections are made, and it is
truly wonderful what the results have been up to date. About all that is desirable in a rose has been obtained in color,
size, fragrance and hardiness.

As roses are raised mostly for their flowers, it is necessary to give that culture to the plant best adapted to produce
this result. A very rich soil is of the first importance and it must be made so by thoroughly working into it plenty of
old composted stable manure in which leaf mold has been decomposed.

Hardy sorts of roses may be planted in the fall or spring. All roses should be severely cut back at the time of plant-
ing, and thereafter every spring.

Hybrid Perpetual Roses may be cut back immediately after flowering to ensure new growth and increased blooming
the same'season.

WINTER PROTECTION

All roses in this climate will give better results if protected in the winter. The best way is to cover the plants
with dry leaves kept down by evergreen boughs all of which should be removed early in the spring.

INSECT REMEDIES

For any insect that eats the foliage, a dusting of the damp leaves with white hellebore will be safe and sufficient.

For thrips and aphides a spraying of whale oil soap will be effective.

If mildew appears, sprinkle the moist leaves with dry powdered sulphur or sprinkle with sulphide of potassium
dissolved in water. A cubic inch to a gallon of water.

REMARKS

There are thousands of varieties of roses grown and we have been testing and selecting for years to secure a satis-
factory list for ourselves and our customers. The following varieties with brief descriptions, we regard as good a list as
can be made, including some good old sorts and all desirable new ones.

Roses are divided into a number of classes which overlap each other so as to make much confusion. We have tried
here to classify according to hardiness and blooming qualities rather than by the regular classification.

GENEVA, NEW YORK

The roses we offer are not the little soft plants grown as small as possible so as to send by mail, but good, strong
two-year plants 18 to 30 inches high and well rooted. No statement is needed to convince planters which are best.

In describing roses we have used the following letters to designate the class to which each sort belongs:

H. for Hybrid Perpetual or Remontant.
H. T. for Hybrid Tea.

H. C. for Hybrid Climber.

S. for Summer.

T. for Tea.

N. for Noisette.

H. N. for Hybrid Noisette.
H. Ch. for Hybrid China.
P. for Prairie.

(Noisette, *Bourbon, Bengal or China and Tea.) The following stock we keep in varieties, mostly in pots so they
can be shipped at any season. They can be planted at any time out of doors or they can remain in the pots for house
culture and winter blooming. Any treatment that will keep them growing will favor an abundance of bloom. Varieties
marked (() are usually hardy in the open ground in this section if suitably protected in winter.

Bengal or China Rose. A native of China. Of moderate branching growth, with flowers and foliage both small.
They are not very hardy but with protection are valuable on account of the profusion of crimson buds which such sorts
as Agrippina produce.

flowers are generally of light shades.

Austrian Roses

The roses of this species are summer or spring
bloomers, but they blossom so profusely and
their rich golden yellow is so intense that they
deserve a place in all collections; growth is favor-
able for a hardy shrub.

N. B. These roses bear on the terminals of a
preceding year’s growth and pruning must be
done just after blossoming.

pinnate, growth thorny, fine.

Persian Yellow. Deep bright yellow; small
but handsome; double, a very early bloomer
and a fine hardy yellow rose; foliage bright
and showy.

buds very beautiful. A rampant grower, being almost as
vigorous as a climber.

ing contrast with the snowy- white petals.

valuable features found in the White Rambler, with which
it differs only in color of flower, which is a brilliant light
carmine.
