TO  OUR  PATRONS — Read  Carefully 


HOW  TO  ORDER.  In  making  out  your  order  be  particular  to  specify  just  what  is  wanted. 
Your  name,  post  office  and  shipping  point  should  be  written  plainly  to  avoid  mistakes.  If  you  are  in 
doubt  as  to  whether  your  stock  should  go  forward  by  express  or  freight,  you  may  leave  it  to  us  and 
we  will  use  our  best  judgment.  Very  small  packages  can  be  forwarded  by  Parcel  Post.  Postage  is  re- 
quired on  orders  to  be  sent  by  Parcel  Post.  Strawberries  should  be  sent  either  by  express  or  mail — not 
by  freight. 

TERMS.  Cash  with  order.  Your  order  may  be  accompanied  with  your  check,  a postoffice  or 
express  money  order,  draft  or  cash.  If  you  send  cash  we  would  advise  you  to  send  same  by  registered 
mail.  We  will  ship  trees  and  plants  C.  O.  D.  providing  25%  of  the  total  of  your  order  is  sent  in  cash. 

RELIABILITY.  For  forty-five  years  we  have  devoted  our  time  to  the  growing  of  high  grade 
nursery  stock  and  have  striven  toward  building  up  a business  that  would  enable  us  to  list  ourselves 
among  the  foremost  nurserymen  in  the  country.  As  to  our  reliability  we  are  pleased  to  refer  you  to 
Dun’s  or  Bradstreet’s  or  any  bank  or  business  house  in  Rochester. 

SHIPPING  SEASONS.  The  spring  shipping  season  usually  commences  here  about  March 
15th  and  continues  until  about  May  1st.  Of  course  the  time  of  shipping  your  stock  depends  on  your 
location.  We  commence  making  southern  shipments  about  January  1st.  The  most  important  of  all  is 
to  plant  stock  before  the  leaves  start.  Trees  and  plants  should  not  be  dug  in  the  fall  until  they  are 
dormant.  The  time  they  reach  this  state  depends  on  the  weather.  Our  usual  fall  season  commences 
about  October  1st  and  we  continue  to  make  shipments  until  the  ground  freezes.  We  advise  Spring 
planting  for  berry  plants  and  peach  trees. 

PACKING  AND  SHIPPING.  Care  is  given  to  the  packing  of  each  order  which  enables  us  to  get 
your  stock  to  you  in  fresh  condition.  We  make  no  charge  for  packing  or  boxing  and  all  orders  are 
delivered  to  the  express  or  freight  office  free  of  charge. 

Deal  Direct  with  the  Grower 

We  save  our  customers  from  30  to  50%  on  their  trees.  Why  should  you  pay  agents’  commissions 
Dr  other  people’s  bad  debts?  Compare  our  prices  with  those  of  any  other  reliable  nursery.  We  do  not 
sell  cheap  stock  but  good  stock  for  less  money.

This  is  to  Certify  that  the  stock 
in  the  nursery  of  Allen  L.  Wood 
of  Rochester,  County  of  Monroe,  State 
of  New  York,  was  duly  examined  in 
compliance  with  the  provisions  of  Sec- 
tion 305  of  the  Agricultural  Law  and 
was  found  to  be  apparently  free  from 
any  contagious  or  infectious  disease  or 
diseases,  or  the  San  Jose  Scale  or  other 
dangerously  injurious  insect,  pest  or 
pests.

WHY  WE  ASK  OUR  CUSTOMERS 
TO  ORDER  EARLY 

The  propagation  of  Nursery  Plants  and 
Trees  is  an  art.  It  takes  three  or  four  years 
to  develop  Nursery  Stock  to  planting  size. 
The  recent  war  greatly  decreased  propagation 
as  90%  of  the  Fruit  Seedlings  which  Nursery- 
men plant  are  imported  from  France  and  for 
the  past  three  years  France  has  been  able  to 
furnish  only  very  few  Seedlings  as  they  cannot 
get  help  to  grow  them.  It  will  be  several  years 
before  they  will  again  be  able  to  produce  the 
amount  of  stock  they  did  before  the  w*ar. 

Fruit  trees  and  plants  wdll  be  higher  in  price 
for  the  next  four  or  five  years.  Hundreds  of 
the  smaller  firms  have  already  been  forced  out 
of  business  and  there  are  hundreds  of  others 
wdio  will  dig  their  last  trees  next  spring  as  they 
cannot  obtain  Seedlings  for  a new  planting. 

Planters  should  appreciate  the  present 
situation  and  place  their  order  early  as  the 
supply  of  many  Standard  varieties  wall  cer- 
tainly be  exhausted  before  long.

! Historical — In  the  fall  of  1914  Mr.  John  M.  Rutledge  of  Ohio  was  given  two  Apples  as  samples,  at  a 
vglance  he  knew  he  had  never  seen  any  like  them  before.  After  eating  the  fruit  and  finding  the  flavor 
so  delicious,  he  inquired  from  the  party  who  gave  them  to  him  where  they  were  grown.  He  learned  that 
the  apples  were  from  a tree  on  his  friend’s  farm,  found  in  a corner  of  his  garden  some  years  ago.  The  tree 
which  is  hardy  and  a vigorous  grower  is  believed  to  have  grown  from  a seedling.  It  has  yielded  a good 
crop  for  the  past  eight  years. 

The  Apple  is  exceptionally  large,  uniform  in  size  and  shape.  Skin  is  very  smooth.  Color  yellow  or 
greenish  blush  striped  with  red.  The  flesh  which  is  slightly  tinged  with  yellow  is  crisp,  tender,  aromatic, 
juicy  and  subacid  which  make  it  an  extra  fine  eating  or  cooking  apple.  Season  December  until  April . 

We  consider  the  Ohio  Beauty  one  of  the  most  handsome  winter  fruits  grown.  Its  vigor,  productive- 
ness and  the  exceptionally  high  quality  of  the  fruit,  its  great  beauty  and  shipping  qualities  put  it  in  a 
class  by  itself. 

This  wonderful  apple  was  brought  to  our  attention  by  Mr.  Rutledge.  We  immediately  began  to 
propagate  this  variety  by  budding  a number  of  trees  from  scions  received  from  him. 

We  sell  all  “Ohio  Beauty”  Apples  under  a special  guarantee  seal  that  is  affixed  to  each  tree  or 
bundle  of  trees.  We  have  the  exclusive  sale  of  the  “Ohio  Beauty”  Apple. 

Price,  $1.00  each.  Only  a limited  quantity  to  offer.

Dwarf  Apples — Are  very  desirable  for  small 
gardens  and  can  be  planted  six  to  eight  feet  apart.

on  a small  City  lot.  Dwarf  Apples  under  good 
cultivation  will  commence  to  bear  fruit  the  second 
year  after  being  planted,  and  you  can  pick  all 
your  Apples  from  a step-ladder.  But  we  do  not 
recommend  them  for  commercial  orchards.

limbs  and  trunk.  Fruit  ripens  about  two  weeks 
later  than  Montmorency.

firm  indicating  that  it  would  stand  shipping.  It  was  also  a

HISTORY  OF  THE  “DR.  WORCESTER”  PEACH 


In  the  Fall  of  1890  Dr.  Worcester  of  Middletown,  N.  Y.,  planted  a bed  of  choice  peach  pits 
which  he  gathered  from  various  sources.  In  1892  he  transplanted  several  of  the  strongest 
seedlings  and  in  1895,  when  these  seedlings  commenced  to  bear,  all  but  one  were  cling-stones. 
On  one  of  the  trees  he  found  several  yellow  and  crimson  'peaches  of  enormous  size  and  great  beauty 
which  were  perfect  free-stones.  In  1896  this  tree  was  heavily  loaded  with  very  large , beautiful  peaches. 

In  1897  Dr.  Worcester  sent  two  peaches  to  Mr.  Chas.  A.  Green,  of  Rochester,  N.  Y.  Mr 
Green’s  response  was  as  follows: 

“Thanks  for  the  two  peaches,  which  are,  indeed,  very  large , very  beautiful  and  of  fine 
quality .” 

Mr.  Green  requested  Dr.  Worcester  to  send  him  the  history  of  this  peach. 

In  1898  Dr.  Worcester  sent  a basket  of  his  seedling  peaches  to  the  American  Institute  of  New 
York  and  they  were  so  well  pleased  with  them  that  they  sent  the  doctor  a Certificate  of  Merit. 

Up  to  this  time  Dr.  Worcester  had  only  the  original  tree.  In  August  1899  he  budded 
several  trees  to  make  a thorough  test  of  this  peach  and  continued  to  bud  some  each  year. 

My  attention  was  called  to  this  wonderful  Peach  in  1915  and  for  two  seasons  I went  to  see 
the  trees  while  they  were  in  bearing.  The  size  and  high  quality  of  the  fruit  so  greatly  impressed 
me  that  I persuaded  Dr.  Worcester  to  permit  me  to  bud  it  and  offer  it  to  the  public.

Woodlawn  Golden 


Woodlawn  Golden — A new  variety  which  we 
recommend  for  general  culture.  Th^  fruit  is 
large  and  highly  colored;  flesh  is  yellow,  firm  and 
flowing  over  with  rich,  finely  flavored  juice.  Fine 
for  canning  as  well  as  being  the  most  desirable 
for  eating  from  the  hand.  The  tree  is  a strong 
grower  and  very  productive.  Perfect  freestone. 
Ripens  first  of  September. 


Hale — In  size  it  is  one-third  larger  than  the 
Elberta  and  is  more  highly  colored.  The  skin  is 
deep  crimson,  smooth,  tight,  and  without  fuzz. 
Flesh  is  golden  yellow,  firm,  and  has  a most  de- 
licious flavor.  The  pit  separates  easily  from  the 
flesh.  It  is  exceptionally  valuable  as  a com- 
mercial Peach  owing  to  its  unusual  keeping  and 
shipping  qualities.  Will  ship  nearly  as  well  as  an 
Apple.  Fruit  ripens  about  five  days  before  the 
Elberta,  but  it  will  hang  on  the  tree  longer.  Your 
collection  is  incomplete  without  this  variety.

Elberta— The  greatest  commercial  Peach  on 
the  market  today.  This  variety  is  the  most 
popular  all  over  the  country  and  there  are  more 
of  these  planted  than  of  any  other  kind.  It  is 
undoubtedly  the  best  orchard  kind  and  also  is 
valuable  for  -garden  planting.

MONROE — W'e  are  proud  to  say  that  we  introduced  the 
“MONROE”  which  is  the  finest  Strawberry  on  the  market. 
It  was  tested  for  three  years  and  in  1914  was  awarded  the 
BARRY  GOLD  MEDAL  by  the  WESTERN  NEW  YORK 
HORTICULTURAL  SOCIETY.  The  plant  is  a descendant 
of  the  “Sample,”  being  very  hardy  and  a strong  grower.  It 
makes  plenty  of  long  runners,  each  of  which  will  make  strong 
plants  that  bear  fruit.  The  latest  set  plants  will  yield  with 
“Sample”  or  “Clyde”  and  will  beat  “William  Belt”  or 
“Marshall”  in  quality.  The  season  of  ripening  is  what  we  call 
second  early  or  about  the  time  of  “Senator  Dunlap.”  The 
color  of  the  berry  is  deep  red,  not  red  in  spots  as  on  some 
varieties,  but  red  all  around,  making  it  a very  handsome  fruit. 
The  flavor  of  the  “MONROE”  SURPASSES  THAT  OF 
ANY  OTHER  STRAWBERRY.  It  is  very  finely  grained, 
very  firm  and  red  to  the  core.  Everyone  who  has  seen  it  on 
the  plant  or  in  the  box  declares  IT  IS  A WONDER. 


Gentlemen: — I have  been  in  the  berry  business  for  25  years,  but  have  not  seen  anything  to  equal  the  Monroe.  We 
picked  12,000  quarts  of  berries  from  three-fourths  of  an  acre  of  plants.  I am  so  greatly  pleased  with  its  high  merits 
that  I have  discontinued  growing  all  other  varieties  that  I,  heretofore,  thought  could  not  be  equaled,  and  am  growr- 
ing  only  the  Monroe.  Yours  truly,  GUS  HERMAN. 

Mr.  Herman  is  known  as  one  of  the  largest  berry  growers  in  Monroe  County,  N.Y.

RED  RASPBERRIES 


ST.  REGIS  EVERBEARING  RASPBERRY 

Awarded  a Certificate  of  Merit  by  American  Institute 
of  New  York.  Ripe  fruit  from  June  to  November. 

St.  Regis — This  promises  to  be  the  most  valuable  addition 
to  the  list  of  Red  Raspberries.  It  succeeds  upon  all  soils, 
whether  light  and  sandy  or  heavy  clay.  The  only  variety 
known  that  gives  a crop  of  fruit  the  same  year  they  are  planted, 
and  two  crops  a year  thereafter.  Plants  that  are  set  early  in  the 
spring  will  give  a small  crop  of  fruit  the  fall  following,  and  the  next  spring  a 
big  crop  equaling  that  of  any  Red  Raspberry  known.  In  size,  quantity 
and  quality,  to  say  nothing  of  its  fall-bearing  qualities,  it  is  ahead  of  any- 
thing we  know  of.  i^bout  the  middle  of  August  it  commences  to  set  fruit  on  the  young  canes,  and  bears 
continuously  from  then  until  frost.  The  berries  are  large,  beautiful  and  attractive.  Price,  2 for  25c; 
$1.00  per  10;  $5.00  per  100;  $35.00  per  1000;  50  to  100  rate;  500  at  1000  rate. 


Wood’s  Improved  Cuthbert — A strain  of  the  original  Cuthbert  which  we  have  been  testing  and 
improving  for  years.  It  is  a strong  grower,  has  healthy  foliage,  and  is  very  productive  if  planted  on 
good  soil.  Cuthbert  is  one  of  the  old  standard,  reliable  sorts  that  will  give  a good  crop  of  large  red 
berries  that  are  firm,  have  rich  flavor,  and  are  of  very  fine  quality;  it  is  more  largely  grown  than  any 
other  variety.  We  recommend  if  for  either  home  use  or  field  culture.  Price,  2 for  25c;  $1.00  per  10;

Mr.  E.  S.  Pratt  of  West  Webster,  N.Y.,  in  1918  sold  one  acre  of  Wood’s  Improved  Cuthbert  Red 
Raspberries  on  contract  to  the  Beechnut  Packing  Company  of  Rochester,  receiving  9c  per  pint  or 
$342.26  for  the  entire  crop.  In  1919  he  received  15c  per  pint. 


Columbian — Very  large,  often  an  inch  in  diameter;  dark  red,  bordering  on  purple,  adheres  firmly 
to  stem  and  will  dry  on  the  bush  if  not  picked;  of  rich,  sprightly  flavor,  the  best  for  canning  or  evaporat- 
ing, and  probably  the  most  productive  of  all  raspberries.  A most  vigorous  grower,  canes  ten  to  fifteen 
feet  in  length  and  often  over  an  inch  in  diameter,  strong  and  woody,  its  roots  spreading  and  penetrat- 
ing the  soil  to  a great  depth,  thus  enabling  it  to  resist  drought.  It  propagates  from  the  tips  and  never 
suckers  from  the  roots.  It  is  very  hardy,  enduring  28°  below  zero  without  injury.  Price,  2 for  25c;

of  Columbian  berries  from  1,000  plants.  I picked  320  qts. 
from  80  three  year  old  plants,  averaging  4 qts.  to  a plant, 
and  I nearly  lost  a picking  from  a heavy  rain  knocking

grees below  zero  without  injury.  The  trees  come  into  bear- 
ing young.  I have  trees  three  years  old  that  bore  Nuts  this

Blue  Grass,  Red  Top,  White  Clover  and  other  desirable  varieties;  no  cheap  or  light  seed  of  any  de-

tomers, who  wish  a perfect  lawn,  to  purchase  seed  only  from  reliable  houses.  One  pound  will  seed 
about  300  square  feet.  1 lb.  40c  prepaid;  5 lbs.  $1.75;  20  lbs.  1 bushel,  $6.00  not  prepaid.  Bags

trees?”  My  excuse  for  not  complying  with  these  requests  has  invariably  been  the  increased  demand 
on  my  time  of  a rapidly  tree  growing  business,  also  I realize  the  fact  that  to  furnish  Seeds  of  a high 
standard  such  as  I would  like  my  friends  to  have,  is  a business  in  itself. 

How  to  shoulder  and  care  successfully  for  both  lines  was  a puzzle  to  me,  until  last  summer  when 
spending  a pleasant  afternoon  with  an  old  Rochester  Seedsman  and  incidentally  stating  my  dilemma, 
he  suggested  that  he  be  allowed  to  help  me  by  supplying  flower  and  vegetable  seeds  of  the  same  high 
standard  and  quality  his  own  customers  are  receiving.  The  bargain  was  made  there  and  then  and  I 
am  pleased  to  announce  the  addition  of  sixteen  pages  of  seeds  to  my  1920  catalog. 

The  seeds  listed  are  growm  especially  for  me  by  my  seedsman  friend,  who  has  had  years  of  experience 
both  in  flower  and  vegetable  seeds,  and  are  the  best  varieties  for  the  Home  Garden.  They  can  be 
grown  to  perfection  with  but  ordinary  care,  and  with  successive  plantings  will  keep  the  table  well  sup- 
plied with  fresh  vegetables,  and  the  garden  and  homes  bright  with  flowers  the  entire  season.

BEETS 


CULTURE.  A light  loam  is  best  adapted  to  a 
perfect  bean  crop.  Plant  as  soon  as  the  ground 
has  become  thoroughly  warm  in  rows  from  two 
feet  for  hand  cultivation  to  three  feet  apart  for 
horse  cultivation.  Cultivate  thoroughly  and  of- 
ten, keeping  a mulch  of  loose  soil  at  all  times. 
When  beans  are  in  bloom  cultivate  shadow,  as 
deep  cultivation  at  this  time  causes  many 
blossoms  to  drop,  decreasing  the  yield.  One 
pound  for  fifty  feet  of  rows.

SWEET  CORN 

Plant  about  the  first  of  May,  and  follow  with 
plantings  at  about  three-week  intervals  to  ex- 
tend the  season.  Drop  about  six  kernels  to  the 
hill,  which  may  be  made  to  four  feet  apart  each 
way.  One  pound  will  plant  100  hills;  sixteen  to 
twenty  pounds  an  acre  in  hills.  Packet  10c; 
34  lb.  25c;  lb.  40c;  2 lbs.  75c. 

Black  Mexican — Splendid  variety  for  the 
home  garden.  Unusually  sweet  and  prolific. 
Kernels  mixed,  black,  blue,  and  white,  but  turn 
white  when  cooked. 

Stowell’s  Evergreen — The  standard  main 
crop  Sweet  Corn  for  the  home  garden  or  for  the 
market.  Ears  large  size  with  deep  kernels, 
remaining  fresh  and  edible  longer  than  any  other 
variety.  See  colored  picture  on  inside  of 
front  Cover. 

Earley  Golden  Bantam — The  most  famous 
of  the  early  sweet  corns.  Stalks  from  3 to  4 feet 
high,  usually  bearing  two  ears,  which  are  filled 
to  the  tip  with  creamy  yellow,  sweet  kernels.

Golden  Bantam,  planted  at  the  same  time  pro- 
duces its  crop  about  a week  later.  Ears  larger 
and  more  prolific  but  of  the  same  quality  and 
rich  creamy  yellow  color.  This  sort  has  been  on 
the  market  for  many  years;  some  gardeners  think 
it  was  a forerunner  of  Golden  Bantam.  Certainly 
it  is  its  equal  in  every  respect,  and  is  unsurpassed 
as  a home-garden  corn. 

F Early  Evergreen.  Earlier  than  Sto well’s 
Evergreen  and  equally  good  in  other  respects.

as  valuable  for  home  use.  See  colored  picture 
on  inside  of  front  cover.

Imperial  Aster 


Imperial — A class  of  Asters  blooming  about 
midseason.  Their  delicacy  of  color,  profusion  of

most  delicate  pink  imaginable.  Packet  15c;  2

ROCHESTER — The  blooms  are  similar 
to  the  old  Comet  Asters,  excepting  that

to  be  the  only  strong  rival  of  the  favorite 
Vicks  Branching  Asters. 

Lavender  Pink — The  first  of  the  “Ro- 
chester'’ class.  Immediately  after  its 
introduction,  the  Chamber  of  Commerce 
of  this  city  adopted  it  as  the  official  flower

“Rochester.”  The  color  is  a rich  shade  of

tinct sensation.  This  was  soon  followed  by  the 
Rose  King,  and  later  the  other  colors  were  added 
The  collection  of  King  Asters  now  includes 
Violet  King,  White  King,  Pink  King,  Rose  King,

den or  for  commercial  purposes  this  Aster  is  un- 
surpassed. Seed  sown  in  the  open  ground  as 
early  as  possible  in  the  spring  will  bloom  con- 
tinuously from  midseason  to  late  fall.  The  colors
