General Information, Suggestions and

Catalog.

Ill preparing a catalogue of our fruits,
ornamentals, etc., it must be borne in mind that
if is not an ad only to bring before the public
what we have in stock, but it is, indeed, more
especially for the benefit of those desiring to
buy fruits, ornamentals, etc.

It is our aim to make the descriptions and
time of ripening, etc., as accurate and intelli-
gible as possible, and in so doing, to lend assist-
ance to those desiring to make selections so
tiiat they may obtain varieties suited to their

€. t'-

locality, and also that a succession of ripening,
from the earliest to the latest, may be obtained.

If customers are not familiar Vvdth varieties
suited to his locality, I recommend that the pur-
chaser leave the selection of varieties Avitli me
as far as possible. Merely b^^ stating the si:'ve
trees wanted, and proportion of summer, fall
and winter fruit ^yauted. As experience enables
me to select sorts adapted to their locality will
cheerfully give such orders my personal atten
tion and niv customers can depend on getting
the best varieties suited for their location.

I devote my personal attention to every
branch of the nursery business. I aim to in-
clude in my assortments the best varieties in
(‘ach class for market and family use.

I'nstomers should state in their orders,
which they wish for market or home use, as it
would make a difference in my selections fin-
I hem.

(tUARA>TEE OF GENUOE AESS.

While we gtiarantee our stock to be true to
name and use the greatest care in doing so, mis-
takes may occur and in such a case, upon
proper proof, trees, etc., will be replaced free
of charge or the money paid for them refunded,
and in no case will we be held resxionsible for
any more than the amount paid for stock that
should })rove untrue, nor for any damage
claimed by the purchaser.

NEW VARIETIES. '

Great many developments have been made
and are still being made, in the creation of new
fruits. Some have x)roven to be of great merit.

2

but the old leading sorts still stand among the
best. In preparing this catalogue care has been
taken to give descrijdion of varieties that do
best in this section, so by a careful selection
from our catalogue a model orchard may be '
obtainetL

TRANSFLAJ«TlN(i.

tMien trees are received, open the bundles ,
if not ready to plant, cut the outside strings
and heal them in moist, mellow soil and work
the dirt in between roots as if being planted, so
as to keep out the air or frost; if the ground
is dry it will be advisable to moisten the soil.
Before heeling in or planting, remove all broken f
roots or limbs.

DEPTH AAI> FLAyTINbl.

Plant deep enough so when the dirt is well
settled that the tree will be as deep or a little
deeper than it grew in nursery, which can he
plainly seen by difference in color in the bark,
tramp the dirt well around roots, leave some
loose, fine dirt on top to keep out air or frost,
if ground is low and wet soil, ridge it up well .
where trees are to be planted, as more trees are
lost by wet, sour ground than by dry weather.

Out back one-half or two-thirds of the tops,
owing to the size of the trees. All trees handled
in this manner that are not living on Sept. 1
after season of setting will be replaced at half
our i*etail price.

WLVTEIIING TREES WHEN PROCURED IN THE

FALL.

Procuring trees in the autumn for early
spring planting is recommended when the pur-
chaser is not prepared to plant in the fall or
prefers spring setting, or where the winters are
too severe to set out young trees or plants in
the fall ; the greatest advantages derived in do-
ing so are that when the roots have been cut or
[>runed it will be found upon taking them up in
the spring that a callous has been formed ready
for the producing of new rootlets, and the trees
being planted without much exposure 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 planting is than done before
the rush of the spring work sets in. To insure
success select a dry spot of ground where water
will not stand during the winter and no grass *
or litter that 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

3

to let The trees lav at an angle of about thirty
degrees, throwing the earth on the back part of
(he trendies so as to make a more perfect slope
; on which to lay down the trees. Put in one
' layer of trees placing the roots as close together
as can convenientlv be done, cover with well
j ])iilverized soil well up on the bodies and as
I carefnlly wc/d-ied in about the roots as if they
were being planted ; then add another lat'er of
trees overia])ping the first, and continue as at
tirst until all are heeled in throvcing the ground
well np around tlie trench, and vdiere the win-
ters are very severe it is advisable to cover the
tree entirely up 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. The roots should be pruned
before laying them dovtn in the fall.

1 also carry a general line of shade trees,
roses and ornamentals of all kinds.

BEST YARIETIES TO PLANT.

These varieties I consider best to plant in
this section as the proprietor of the Golden
Rule Xursery have had experience. If people
interested in fruit growing vcould follow his
instructions as to varieties, pruning, setting
a.nd attending fruits, fruit growing would be
more of a pleasure than a task.

SPKAITNG AND CAEE OF TREES,

Rriefly, these are the directions for a sea-
son's work in the apple orchard:

As the cluster buds are opening, spray
every ]>art of the tree with a mixture made as
follows :

In one barrel place G jxninds of fresh stone
lime and 25 gallons of water ; suspend 4 pounds

4

of blue vitriol in a piece of burlap in a second
barrel containing 25 gallons of water. When
both the lime and vitriol have dissolved, pour at
the same time, the contents of each barrel into
a third. Strain this through a piece of burlap
as it is poured into the spraying tank. Put a
bright knife blade into the mixture for a few
moments; if the copper appears upon it, add
more lime.

When about two-thirds of the petals have
fallen, use this spray again, and add 3 pounds
of arsenate of lead to it. This is the most im-
{/ortant spray of the season. See that enough
liquid is applied, and at such pressure that the
blossom-end of every apple will be reached.

In both of sprays mentioned, as well as the
ones to follow, commercial lime and sulphur 1%
gallons to 50 gallons of water, may be substi-
tuted for the blue vit^uol and lime; add the
arsenate, however at the same rate.

In about two weeks repeat the second
spray.

Between July 10 and 15 repeat the second
spray for the later brood of codling moth.

Remove all dead and diseased limbs and
water sprouts.

Remove any piles of old apples, underbrush
or prunings and give the orchard a thorough
disking.

For cherry, plum and peach, use London
Ihirple mixed in water so that you can see the
foimi of your hand about 3 inches down in the
mixture. Spray at least 3 times, at about the
time of the first 3 above mentioned. Black knot
on plum and cherry trees, only known remedy |
just as soon as the curly black knots appear re- s
move the branch at least two inches below
where the knot appears, burn the affected parts
and attend to it promptly when you discover
it, then vou will have exterminated the disease
before it has done any serious damage.

SPRAYING FOR CANKER OR CATERPILLER

WORMS.

Spray when leaves are one-third grown and
continue as long as worms appear, with Paris
Green solution ; 1 lb. of Paris Green to 200 ||
gallons water and add V2 lb. of lime. Cater- ij
piller worm webs may be destroyed by fire
before they spread on trees.

Habit of growth is indicated by Mod.,
Free, Vig., Slow, at the end of description,
meaning Moderate, Free, Vigorous, or Slow
growers.

RASPBERRIES

CARDINAL.

This is certainly the most remarkable

J

13

iu cane growth ever introduced. It is a
strikingly beautiful bush to look at, and this
remarkable cane growth is extremely hardy.
The thermometer registered 26 degrees below
zero the winter of 1898-’99, and it withstood
this severe test without apparent injury. It’s
apparent productiveness is all that could be
desired. It will produce twice the amount of
fruit of any other purple sort. Color of berry
is a little darker than Columbian ; a little more
acid in flavor; berry rounder, of the same size
or larger. It is doubtless the best of its kind
ever introduced.

KANSAS.

healthy, vigorous and not subject to leaf blight ;
produces strong, healthy tips; fruit large, as
fine a berry as Gregg and equally as good a
shipper; ripens just after the Souhegan; very
prolific.

t mildews ; fruit smooth, red, tender and vei^^
good, verv valuable.

CURRANTS

FAY’S PROLIFIC.

The standard old variety; excellent and
well knowm ; a great bearer and a very profit-
able market sort.

KLACS: €UM1A>^TS.

L-ai'ge as \vil(j gooseberries, never fail, (joal- .
itj fair, not as good as red cairrants. Will I
produce first year after planting.
BLACKBEBSIES

THE ^E^Y HIMALAYA. j

Very strong cane growers, vine similar to ;
dewberry, can be giown very successfully on
trellis or racks to prevent runners from taking
growth and will make from 8 to 12 feet of;
growth in one year. Blooms late and escapes ^
the frosts, berries between a dewberry and I
blackberry for size and oualitv. AVrv heavy
]>rodiicers when properly handled. This plant;
can be pruned back, making the berries extra ;
large and of better quality. Brice, |1.00 per ,
dozen or |5.00 per 100. |
