We wish to call your attention to our nurseries as a base of supplies

PEARS. All our pears are worked on French Pear Seedlings
7-12 mm. branched whole roots, except some Magnolia and Japan Golden
Russet, which are budded on No. 1 Japan Pear Seedlings. Our pears at
one year are tall and straight of sufficient height to be cut back tothe
proper height to form heads for two year old trees. We are strong on
Bartletts one year old and other varieties both one and two year old.
The price of Magnolia and Japan Golden Russet is the same this year as
other yOnOnOs

Japan Plums one year old, as handsome as we have ever grown.

CHERRIES. Two year cherries run largely to the lighter sizes this

year, but promise to make handsome grades.

PEACHES--One Year. Never had a finer prospect for a _hand-.

some lot. They are now two to three feet high and are straight as
arrows. :

PEACHES--June Buds. A fine stand of strong, healthy seedlings.
Over two millions to be budded to Dormants and June Buds. We will bud
either of these on contract and give you the choice of any of the varieties
in our list. Should varieties be desired not found in our list they may

be shipped to us if free from disease and pernicious insects. Contracts _

for June Buds should be made promptly, as we shall have finished bud-
ding for June Buds by the middle of June.
