Order  Trees  Early 

Wherever  you  live  it  pays  to  order  early.  Send  in  your  order  just  as  soon  as  you 
know  what  you  want.  POMONA  METHOD  OF  SHIPPING  C.  0.  D.,  requiring 
no  cash  with  order  makes  it  convenient  for  you  to  do  this,  and  we  want  you  to  get

Our  Shipping  Season 

WE  PACK  AND  SHIP  ALL  WINTER  TO  SOUTHERN  STATES.  Our  regular 
Spring  packing  and  shipping  season  usually  opens  here  February  1st  and  continues 
into  the  month  of  May.  The  planting  season  is  not  regulated  by  any  particular 
month  or  day,  nor  by  the  state  of  vegetation  where  the  planting  is  to  be  done,  but 
BY  THE  CONDITION  OF  THE  TREES  TO  BE  PLANTED.  Hence,  trees  can  be 
sent  with  safety  from  Dansville,  N.  Y.,  to  localities  several  degrees  south,  even  if 
they  do  not  arrive  until  the  ordinary  transplanting  season  in  that  locality  is  past. 

True  To  Label 

YOU  KNOW  THE  MEANING  OF  THIS  EXPRESSION.  As  we  understand  it 
a  “true  to  label”  Baldwin  tree  is  a  tree  that  grows  up  a  Baldwin  and  a  man  who 
plants  a  “true  to  label”  Northern  Spy  does  not  go  out  some  years  later  and  pick 
crab  apples  from  its  branches.  The  three  lit  te  words  have  come  to  mean  with  us 
accomplishment  of  purpose.  They  signify  INTEGRITY,  EXPERIENCE  and 
KNOWLEDGE. 

Guarantee 

In  the  event  that  any  nursery  stock  sold  by  us  should  prove  untrue  to  name  under 
which  it  is  sold,  we  hereby  agree,  on  proper  proof  of  such  untrueness  to  name, 
to  rectify  and  replace  the  same  or  refund  the  purchase  price.  Except  for  such 
liability,  and  in  respect  to  all  nursery  stock 
sold  by  us,  we  give  no  warranty,  express  or  im¬ 
plied,  '  as  to  description,  quality,  growth,  pro¬ 
ductiveness  or  any  other  matter,  and  in  case  of 
error  in  variety  the  purchase  price  shall  be  the 
measure  of  damages,  if  order  is  accepted  by  us.

Forty  Years  Dealing  Direct  with  the  Planter 

IT’S  A  PLEASURE  to  present  with  this  catalogue,  our  latest,  which 
portrays  as  clearly  as  possible  the  knowledge  we  have  gained  about 
trees.  Trees  have  been  our  life  work — we  have  grown  up  with  them. 
We  have  learned  to  plant  them,  cultivate  them,  and  to  call  them  by  name. 

In  the  development  of  such  a  business  as  we  now  conduct  representing 
forty  years  of  painstaking  labor,  there  has  been  a  vast  store  of  knowledge 
“laid  by.”  It  is  our  intention  to  place  this  reserve  fund  at  the  disposal  of 
our  customers  and  that  they  may  receive  prompt  and  careful  attention 
we  have  INSTITUTED  our  SERVICE  DEPARTMENT,  by  means  of 
which  the  buyer  can  feel  that  he  will  receive  absolutely  impartial  and  as 
nearly  accurate  information  on  planting  as  it  is  possible  for  us  to  give, 
at  any  time. 

Fresh  Dug  Trees 

POMONA’S  fresh  dug  trees  are  budded  on  the  best  whole  rooted  im¬ 
ported  French  stock,  propagated  by  us  from  certified  trees  and  bearing 
orchards,  free  from  disease,  insect  pests  and  true  to  name.  '  Our  C.  0.  D. 
offer  enables  you  to  take  advantage  of  ordering  now.  Yesterday  is  gone, 
forget  it.  Today  is  here,  use  it.  Never  leave  till  tomorrow  what  you  can 
do  today. 

What  a  Pomona  Ten  Cent  Sale  Is 

It  is  a  sale  where  you  buy  one  tree  at  our  special  list  price,  then  an  addi¬ 
tional  tree  of  the  same  variety  for  TEN  CENTS.  To  illustrate:  The 
price  of  BALDWIN  APPLE  TREE  is  30c.  You  buy  one  tree  at  this 
price  and  by  PAYING  10c  MORE,  OR  40c,  YOU  GET  TWO  TREES. 
Every  tree  offered  is  of  standard  quality  just  the  same  as  we  have  been 
selling  at  the  regular  price  every  year.  This  is  our  second  year  to  develop 
a  special  sale  of  10  cent  trees.  Rather  than  spend  large  sums  of  money 
in  other  ways  to  convince  you  of  the  quality  of  our  trees,  we  are  spending 
it  on  this  sale  so  as  to  enable  us  to  sell  you  a  high  standard  tree  offered  in 
this  catalogue  for  10  cents.  It  costs  us  a  large  amount  of  money  to  get 
new  customers,  but  the  sacrifice  in  profit  is  justified,  knowing  the  stock 
offered  will  please  you. 

Our  Special  10c  Sale  Price  Covers  Stock 
As  Listed  in  this  Catalogue 

If  you  order  10  trees,  we  allow  you  to  select  5  varieties  of  2  trees  each. 
If  you  order  50  or  more  trees,  not  less  than  10  trees  of  a  variety. 


NOTICE 

Before  placing  orders  for  fruit  trees  elsewhere  we  would 
suggest  that  you  send  us  your  list  of  varieties  for  our 

/J 

special  quotation  as  there  are  many  varieties  that  we 

have  in  surplus  and  are  able  to  give  a  much  lower  price 

on  than  our  published  prices  in  quantities.

RED  ASTRACHAN— THE  BEST  EARLY  DESSERT  APPLE 


DUCHESS  OF  OLDENBURG — Large,  round;  streaked  red  on  yellow;  tender,  juicy,  pleasant;  a  kitchen 
apple  of  best  quality  and  esteemed  by  many  for  dessert.  Tree  a  vigorous,  fine  grower,  and  an 
abundant  bearer.  Succeeds  well  in  the  Northwest,  where  most  varieties  fail.  We  find  Duchess  the 
most  valuable  commercial  variety,  a  sure  cropper,  hardy  as  an  oak,  having  survived  in  some  in¬ 
stances  when  all  others  died.  August  and  September. 


King  of  Tompkins  County.  One  of  the  standard 
varieties  grown  for  commercial  purposes,  and 
gives  the  greatest  satisfaction  when  top- 
worked  on  some  hardier  variety.  The  fruit 
is  of  a  bright  red  color,  large  and  uniform. 
The  flesh  is  yellowish,  crisp,  tender,  juicy  and 
sub-acid,  and  of  the  best  quality. 

GRIMES’  GOLDEN.  Medium  to  large  size;  skin 
golden  yellow,  sprinkled  with  gray  dots; 
flesh  crisp,  tender,  juicy,  sprightly,  very  good 
to  best.  Grown  in  the  South  and  Southwest. 
Jan.  to  Apr. 

RED  ASTRACHAN — This  hardy  early  variety  is 
well  known.  Fruit  large,  roundish,  nearly 
covered  with  deep  crimson,  handsome,  juicy, 
good,  highly  esteemed  on  account  of  its  fine 
appearance,  earliness,  and  hardiness.  Aug. 

YELLOW  TRANSPARENT— Early  variety.  Tree 
an  upright  grower  and  a  very  early  and 
abundant  bearer.  Fruit  of  good  size;  skin 
clear  white,  turning  to  a  pale  yellow;  flavor 
acid  and  very  good.  Ripens  from  ten  days 
to  two  weeks  earlier  than  Early  Harvest.

Propagated  V^ere  tlie  Best  Tlrees  Growj 


McIntosh  apple 

McIntosh — Not  equalled  in  quality  and  flavor  by  any  other  variety.  Due  to  its  very  high  quality 
and  its  exceedingly  attractive  appearance,  it  commands  a  ready  sale  and  a  fancy  price  in  all  the 
large  eastern  markets.  Has  held  the  record  for  high  price  for  years  in  the  Boston,  New  York, 
and  Chicago  markets.  Rapidly  making  a  place  for  itself  as  one  of  the  leading  if  not  the  leading 
commercial  apple  of  the  east.  The  fruit  is  very  attractive  in  appearance,  of  bright  deep  red  col¬ 
or,  which  in  highly  colored  specimens  is  almost  purplish-red  overspread  with  a  thin  lilac  bloom. 
Fruit  above  medium  in  size,  flesh  white,  firm,  very  crisp,  fine  grained,  tender,  very  juicy. 
Sprightly  subacid  in  flavor  with  a  characteristic  perfume  and  aroma.  Comes  into  bearing  about 
the  fourth  year  and  is  a  reliable  cropper,  yielding  good  crops  biennially  and  sometimes  annu¬ 
ally.  October  to  December. 

ROME  BEAUTY — Keeps  in  good  condition  till  May  and  June.  Large,  round,  mottled  and  striped  in 
different  shades  of  red;  flavor  and  quality  away  above  the  average;  appearance  and  size  are  its 
valuable  points;  always  sells  and  always  brings  good  prices.  With  a  weU-merited  reputation, 
Rome  Beauty  is  a  variety  Eastern  orchardists  should  plant  largely.  Good  grower,  blooms  late, 
bears  heavily  every  year,  is  adapted  to  a  wide  range  of  soils,  elevations  and  conditions. 

DELICIOUS  RED — This  apple  is  appropriately  named  for  it  is  of  handsome  appearance  as  well  as 
high  quality,  rivaling  Spitzenburg.  It  is  oblong  in  shape  and  its  bright  red  and  yellow  skin  is 
very  handsome.  This  apple  has  been  largely  planted  in  the  Northwest  and  ranks  high  in  com¬ 
mercial  orcharding.  Since  it  has  made  good  in  the  apple  growing  sections  someone  has  said  it 
is  a  gem.  It  is  the  best  in  quality  of  any  apple  I  have  tasted. 

LOBO  (McIntosh  Seedling) — Above  medium  size;  roundish  conical;  stem  short  to  medium,  color 
bright  crimson;  skin  thick,  tough;  flesh  white  with  traces  of  red,  fine  grained,  tender,  juicy;  sub¬ 
acid,  sprightly,  pleasant,  good  flavor  and  quality.  October. 

We  consider  Lobo  a  very  promising  variety  for  central  and  northern  New  Jersey.  Under  our  condi¬ 
tions  Lobo  hangs  to  the  tree  much  better  than  McIntosh,  and  also  develops  a  brighter,  more  at¬ 
tractive  color,  comes  into  bearing  early,  and  is  very  productive.  We  have  held  Lobo  in  cold  stor¬ 
age  in  good  condition  until  the  first  of  February.  (From  New  Jersey  Exp.  Station  Report.)

PLATE  OF  THE  RELIABLE  BALDWIN  APPLES 


BALDWIN.  A  great  market  apple,  very  productive  of  fair  handsome  fruit.  No  variety  yields  larger 
crops  or  bears  shipment  better,  or  is  more  attractive  in  color,  size  and  shape,  than  the  Baldwin. 
It  is  esteemed  as  an  eating  apple,  and  for  cooking.  Thousands  of  barrels  of  this  fruit  are  ex¬ 
ported  to  England  annually.  For  a  commercial  orchard  it  can  be  relied  upon.  Large,  bright  red, 
crisp,  juicy  and  rich;  tree  vigorous,  upright  and  productive. 


NORTHERN  SPY — This  cut  shows  how  perfectly 
these  may  be  grown,  with  proper  care.  This  va¬ 
riety  has  long  been  a  favorite  in  commercial  sorts 
in  northern  New  England,  New  York,  Michigan, 
etc.  It  is  superior  to  some  other  standard  varie¬ 
ties  in  flavor  and  quality  and  commands  top 
prices.  Large,  striped  and  quite  covered  on  the 
sunny  side  with  dark  crimson;  and  delicately 
coated  with  bloom.  Juicy,  rich,  highly  aromatic, 
retaining  its  freshness  of  appearance  and  flavor 
till  July.  A  remarkably  rapid,  erect  grower,  and 
a  great  bearer.  One  of  the  finest  late  keeping 
apples.  December  to  March. 

Wagener — Medium  to  large;  deep  red  in  the  sun; 
flesh  firm,  sub-acid,  and  excellent;  very  produc¬ 
tive,  bears  very  young.  December  to  May. 

Cortland.  Is  as  large  as  that  of  McIntosh,  or  larger; 
round  to  somewhat  conical  in  shape.  In  color  it  is 
a  bright  red  blushed  with  darker  red  splashed  and 
striped  with  carmine  and  more  or  less  overlaid  with 
a  deep  purplish  bloom.  The  flesh  is  white,  often 
with  a  pinkish  tinge,  fine,  crisp,  tender,  juicy, 
subacid  and  aromatic.  The  trees  are  large,  vigor¬ 
ous,  upright-spreading,  very  hardy,  productive  and 
healthy.  Three  weeks  later  than  McIntosh.

Propagated  Where  tlie  Best  Trees  Grow; 


WEALTHY — This  is  a  beautiful,  hardy  winter  apple,  originating  in  Minnesota.  Fruit  large,  round¬ 
ish;  skin  smooth,  oily,  covered  with  a  dark  red.  Flesh  white,  tender,  juicy,  vinous,  sub-acid; 
quality  very  good.  This  is  one  of  the  few  most  desirable  varieties  for  Minnesota,  Wisconsin, 
Iowa,  Nebraska,  as  well  as  the  Eastern  and  Middle  States.  In  season  it  differs  somewhat,  ac¬ 
cording  to  locality;  in  New  York  and  neighboring  states  its  season  is  December  to  February, 
and  owing  to  its  early  bearing  qualities  it  is  planted  largely  as  a  filler. 


THE  RELIABLE  R.  I.  GREENING  APPLE 


RHODE  ISLAND  GREENING— This  large  and  superior  winter  apple  is  famous  over  a  large  extent 
of  country,  and  is  more  highly  prized  for  cooking  and  eating  than  any  other  variety.  It  is  a 
good  keeper  but  will  keep  better  if  picked  early.

LOMBARD  PLUMS— TREE  HARDY  AND  PRODUCTIVE 


RED  JUNE — A  consensus  of  the  opinions  of  those 
who  have  had  actual  experience  with  the  va¬ 
riety  shows  that  it  closely  follows  Abun¬ 
dance  and  Burbank  in  popularity.  The  color 
is  a  mottled  garnet-red  overlaid  with  thin  but 
very  distinct  and  delicate  bloom.  July. 

YORK  STATE  PRUNE— A  superior  strain  of  the 
German  Prune.  Known  in  some  sections  as 
Fellemberg  or  Italian  prune.  The  most  widely 
grown  of  all  plums.  In  our  opinion  the  most 
profitable  prune  for  orchard  purposes  and  a 
variety  that  should  be  in  every  home  garden. 
It  is  finely  flavored  whether  eaten  out  of 
hand,  stewed  or  cured  as  a  prune.  In 
cooking  it  changes  to  a  dark  wine 
color,  very  attractive  in  appearance, 
with  a  most  pleasant  sprightly  flavor. 

LOMBARD  (Purple) — A  great  favorite  as 
it  adapts  itself  to  widely  different  soils 
and  climates  and  does  well  where  other 
varieties  would  not  thrive.  Robust, 
healthy,  productive  and  a  regular  bear¬ 
er.  Extremely  hardy.  Skin  dark  pur¬ 
plish  red  overspread  with  a  thick 
bloom.  Flesh  yellowish,  firm  and  sweet. 
Freestone.  Ripens  in  late  August. 

MONARCH— A  very  handsome,  large,  rich, 
purple  plum  that  has  attained  popular¬ 
ity  more  quickly  than  any  other  plum 
of  recent  introduction.  Flesh  golden 
yellow,  juicy  and  sweet.  Trees  hardy 
and  productive.  Ripens  in  October. 

Abundance — The  chief  asset,  which  has  giv¬ 
en  the  variety  its  great  popularity,  is 
its  name,  abundance  in  fruit.  Tree 
bears  early  in  season  being  a  pinkish 
red  changing  to  a  darker  red  mottled 
with  thin  bloom.  August. 


BRADSHAW — The  trees  grow  large  and  well 
formed,  bear  regularly  and  heavily.  The 
plums  are  large,  attractive  in  appearance, 
being  a  light  purplish  red  changing  to  dark 
reddish  at  maturity,  which  occurs  in  July. 

Burbank — Is  handsomely  colored  dark  red  over  a 
yellow  ground.  It  is  a  very  desirable  variety 
for  home  plantations  in  New  York,  bearing 
early  in  July. 

Yellow  Egg — Golden  yellow  covered  with  thick 
bloom. 

NIAGARA— Of  large  size  and  first  rate  flavor; 
color  dark  blue.  Good  bearer;  not  liable  to 
rot.  Ripens  about  August  1st.

The  Best  Varieties  of  Apricots 


The  leading  characteristics  of  the  apricot 
are  extreme  hardiness,  early  bearing,  pro¬ 
ductiveness,  and  freedom  from  disease.  Every 
garden  should  have  one  or  more  trees.  In 
the  selection  of  choice  garden  fruits  it  is 
quite  indispensable. 

J.  L.  Budd — Tree  a  strong  grower  and  profuse

ELBERTA— AMERICA’S  GREATEST  SHIPPING.  MARKET  AND  CANNING  PEACH 


Belle  of  Georgia — Large;  white,  with  red  cheek; 
flesh  white,  firm  and  of  excellent  flavor. 
Tree  very  productive.  Early  July. 


ROCHESTER  EARLY  YELLOW  PEACH 


ELBERTA — A  valuable,  large  peach  of  good 
quality.  The  best  orchard  variety,  and  valu¬ 
able  also  for  planting  in  the  garden.  Elberta 
is  hardier  in  bud  than  many  varieties,  there¬ 
fore  a  more  uniform  cropper.  Elberta  is 
large,  yellow,  with  red  cheek,  juicy  and  high- 
flavored,  flesh  yellow;  freestone.  Season 
medium  early. 

ROCHESTER  (Yellow,  Freestone) — A  remarkable 
new  early  peach  which  seems  to  combine  the 
high  quality  of  the  Early  Crawford  with  the 
productiveness  of  the  Elberta.  Generally 
recognized  as  the  best  early  variety.  Coming 
into  the  market  as  it  does  about  two  weeks 
ahead  of  Early  Crawford,  it  commands  not 
only  the  highest  price  but  a  ready  sale.  An 
early  bearer,  often  producing  fruit  the  year 
after  planting.  Not  only  an  ideal  home  or¬ 
chard  variety  but  an  excellent  commercial 
peach  as  well.  Makes  a  great  combination 
with  Elberta.  The  fruit  is  large,  yellow  mot¬ 
tled  with  red  in  color,  with  thick,  firm,  juicy 
flesh,  rich  and  sweet  in  flavor.  The  trees  are 
hardy,  vigorous  and  productive.  Ripens  here 
the  middle  of  August.

EARLY  CRAWFORD  PEACHES  (REDUCED) 


CRAWFORD’S  EARLY — A  magnificent  large  yellow  peach  of  good  quality.  Tree  vigorous  and  pro¬ 
lific;  its  size,  beauty  and  productiveness  make  it  one  of  the  most  popular  varieties.  Season  be¬ 
ginning  of  September.  This  valuable  peach  has  long  been  a  favorite  for  large  size,  beauty  and 
quality  of  fruit.  Most  people  when  they  buy  peaches  ask  for  Crawfords. 


CRAWFORD’S  LATE — Of  large  size;  skin  yellow 
or  greenish  yellow,  with  dull  red  cheek;  flesh 
yellow.  Tree  vigorous;  moderately  produc¬ 
tive;  one  of  the  finest  late  sorts. 


NIAGARA  PEACH — The  fruit  of  the  Niagara 
peach  is  much  like  that  of  Early  Crawford  in 
appearance,  being  large,  oval,  yellow  with 
brilliant  red  cheeks.  The  flavor  is  rich  and 
piquant,  reminding  one  of  the  very  best 
peaches  he  ever  ate.  Season  medium  early. 


Carman — A  very  hardy  peach,  ripening  at  same 
time  as  Early  Rivers,  yet  almost  as  large  as 
Elberta.  Skin  pale  yellow  with  blush  on 
sunny  side;  flesh  white,  tender,  sweet  and 
melting.  Ships  well.  August. 


J.  H.  HALE  (Yellow,  Freestone) — A  notable  va¬ 
riety  of  recent  introduction,  unusually  large 
in  size  of  fruit  and  very  handsome.  Largely 
advertised  as  a  rival  to  Elberta  for  commer¬ 
cial  honors,  but  reported  in  many  sections  as 
not  prolific  enough  to  compete  with  that 
grand  old  variety.  Of  a  deep  golden-yellow 
color  overlaid  with  bright  carmine.  Flesh 
firm,  fine-grained  and  good  in  quality.

BARTLETT  KING  OF  STANDARD  PEAR  TREES— PLANT  THEM 


BAETLETT — Large,  coloring  when  fully  ripe  to 
waxen  yellow  with  red  blush;  juicy,  melt¬ 
ing,  highly  flavored.  The  tree  bears  early 
and  abundantly.  May  be  grown  either  as 
dwarf  or  standard,  but  succeeds  best  as 
standard.  Aside  from  the  fact  that  it  bears 
early,  regularly  and  abundantly,  the  Bartlett 
pear  is  justly  popular  on  account  of  its  size, 
beauty  and  excellence.  It  originated  in 
Berkshire,  Eng.,  about  1770.  Aug.  and  Sept. 

Beckel — Small  size;  yellowish  russet,  with  red 
cheek;  flesh  whitish,  buttery,  very  juicy  and 
melting.  A  prolific  bearer.  Sept,  to  Oct. 


Kieffer — Large  to  very  large,  skin  yellow,  with  a 
light  vermilion  cheek;  flesh  brittle,  very 
juicy,  with  a  marked  musky  aroma;  good 
quality.  It  is  unfortunate  that  the  merits  of 
this  fruit  have  been  underestimated  from 
the  haste  in  which  it  is  hurried  to  market  in 
an  immature  condition,  and  often  before  it 
has  attained  the  proper  size. 

ANJOU — For  late  fall  and  early  winter  use.  there 
is  no  better  variety.  Quality  equal  to  Bart¬ 
lett.  A  close  second  to  Bartlett  in  public  fa¬ 
vor.  Distributes  its  fruit  well,  and  stands 
up  under  a  load  better  than  Bartlett.

CLAPP'S  FAVORITE — Large  size;  pale  lemon  yellow;  flesh  fine  grained,  juicy,  melting,  rich  and

Duchess  d’  Angouleme — Very  large;  of  greenish  yel¬ 
low,  with  patches  of  yellow  and  a  dull  red 
mostly  covered  with  thin  light  russet;  very 
juicy,  melting,  sweet  and  vinous.  Oct.  to  Nov. 

Beurre  Bose — Extra  large  size;  deep  russet  yel¬ 
low;  high  fiavored  and  delicious.  It  is  a  fa¬ 
vorite.  Ripens  in  October  and  can  be  marketed 
at  that  time,  but  for  best  returns  should  be  kept

EARLY  RICHMOND  CHERRIES  (REDUCED  SIZE) 


EARLY  RICHMOND  — One 
of  the  most  valuable 
and  popular  cherries, 
unsurpassed  for  cook¬ 
ing  purposes.  It  is  the 
good  old  variety  that 
yields  such  marvelous 
crops  in  the  gardens. 
The  most  hardy  of  all 
varieties,  uninjured  by 
the  coldest  winters. 
Tree  slender  in  growth, 
'  with  a  roundish  spread¬ 
ing  head,  exceedingly 
productive.  Ripens 
through  June.  The 
cherry  tree  bears  al¬ 
most  every  year,  and  is 
an  easy  fruiter.  For 
many  years  Dansville 
has  been  the  largest 
cherry  growing  section 
of  the  U.  S.,  while  the 
majority  of  nursery¬ 
men  are  buyers  instead 
of  growers.  The  cherry 
is  greatly  improved  by 
cultivation  and  the  use 
of  fertilizers.  Fertiliz¬ 
ers  make  the  tree  vig¬ 
orous  and  fruit  less 
liable  to  decay.

THE  MOST  POPULAR  CHERRY,  LARGE  MONTMORENCY,  HARDY  AND  PRODUCTIVE 

MONTMORENCY  (Large) — The  most  popular  of  all  hardy  cherries  for  market  and  home  use.  Thia 
cherry  is  planted  largely  in  all  parts  of  the  country.  The  fruit  is  in  great  demand  by  canning 
factories  and  others,  and  sells  at  fancy  prices.  Montmorency  has  been  growing  in  popularity  all 
over  the  country  each  year,  so  that  it  has  been  almost  impossible  to  grow  trees  fast  enough  to 
keep  up  with  the  demand.  It  is  of  large  size,  light  red  in  color,  stem  rather  short.  The  tree 
is  very  hardy  and  a  vigorous  grower.  The  trees  bear  fruit  soon  after  planting.  I  visited  a 
friend  last  summer  who  has  a  large  orchard  of  Montmorency  cherries  in  bearing.  The  trees 
have  been  planted  only  a  few  years,  and  yet  they  were  laden  with  the  most  beautiful  fruit.

bearer.  One  of  the  most  popular  varie¬ 
ties  in  all  parts  of  the  country.  Ripe 
last  of  June. 


Lambert — A  valuable  Sweet  Cherry  of  the 
largest  size.  Skin  dark  purplish  red, 
almost  jet-black  when  ripe.  Flesh  firm, 
rich  and  juicy.  Tree  hardy,  a  strong 
grower  and  an  enormous  bearer. 


Gov.  Wood — One  of  the  best.  Clear,  light 
red;  tender  and  delicious.  Tree  vigorous 
and  productive.  End  of  June. 

NAPOLEON  CHERRY  (White  Oxheart)— 

Fruit  very  large,  oblong,  pale  yellow,  with

The  Best  Varieties  of  Grapes 

The  grape  is  one  of  our  most  delicious  fruits.  Contrary  to  common  opinion  it  does  not 
demand  a  special  or  particular  kind  of  trellis.  We  have  seen  vines  bear  by  the  bushel 
growing  on  a  garden  or  yard  fence.  Hardy,  thrifty,  free  of  disease,  the  grape  is  our  standby. 


The  grape  is  the  most  healthful  of  all  fruits,  and  is 
most  highly  esteemed  for  its  many  and  varied  uses. 
Grapes  can  be  grown  by  any  one  who  has  a  garden  or 
yard,  and  a  little  time  to  give  to  it.  The  vines  can  be 
trained  up  the  side  of  a  building,  or  a  garden  fence  or 
over  an  arbor,  but  the  more  profitable  way  is  to  grow 
them  over  a  wire  trellis. 


Pruning.  Annual  and  careful  pruning  is  essential  to 
the  production  of  good  grapes.  If  the  roots  are  called 
upon  to  support  too  much  wood,  they  cannot  bring  to 
maturity  a  fine  crop  of  fruit.  By  proper  pruning  you 
concentrate  the  vigor  of  a  vine  into  a  smaller  number 
of  canes  and  clusters,  which  it  can  perfect.  The  prun¬ 
ing  should  be  done  from  November  to  March,  while  the 
vines  are  entirely  dormant  and  before  the  sap  starts. 


Agawam  (Roger’s  No.  15) — Berries  very  large,  thick  skin,  pulp 
soft,  sweet,  sprightly,  very  vigorous,  ripens  early. 


Diamond — Leading  early  white  grape,  ripening  before  Moore’s 
Early. 


Pocklington — One  of  the  largest  and  most  showy  white  grapes  of 
the  Concord  type. 


Catawba — Berries  large,  round;  when  fully  ripe  of  a  dark  copper 
color. 


Lindley  (Roger’s  No.  9) — Berries  medium  to  large,  flesh  tender, 
sweet  and  aromatic. 


Salem  (Roger’s  No.  53) — Bunch  large,  compact;  berry  large, 
round,  coppery  red,  tender,  juicy.  Ripens  with  Concord. 


Diamond  White — The  leading  early  white 
grape,  ripening  before  Moore’s  Ear¬ 
ly.  White,  with  rich  yellow  tinge; 
juicy,  few  seeds,  almost  free  from 
pulp,  excellent  quality. 


Ciias.  A.  Green  White — Claimed  by  the 
introducer  to  be  a  new  and  valu¬ 
able  variety,  a  vigorous  grower  and 
an  enormous  yielder  of  very  large 
and  beautiful  clusters. 


McPike — This  mammoth  black  grape  has 
been  exhibited  in  all  parts  of  the 
country,  its  great  size,  fine  flavor 
and  beauty  creating  quite  a  sensa¬ 
tion. 


NIAGARA  WHITE — Occupies  the  same  position 
among  the  white  varieties  as  Concord  among 
the  black;  the  leading  profitable  market  sort. 
Bunch  and  berries  large,  greenish  white 
changing  to  pale  yellow  when  fully  ripe. 

Campbell’s  Early  (Black) — Strong  grower,  with 
large,  healthy  foliage;  productive,  its  keep¬ 
ing  and  shipping  qualities  are  equaled  by  no 
other  early  grape. 


Brighton — Perhaps  the  best  red  grape  in  culti¬ 
vation.  Bunch  large,  compact;  strong  grow¬ 
er  and  very  productive;  quality  good. 

Concord — Black.  Bunch  large,  shouldered,  com¬ 
pact;  berries  large,  covered  with  a  rich  bloom, 
skin  tender,  but  sufficiently  firm  to  carry  well 
to  distant  markets;  flesh  juicy,  sweet,  pulpy, 
tender;  vine  a  strong  grower,  very  hardy. 


MOORE’S  EARLY  (Black)— Bunch  and 
berry  large,  round  with  heavy 
bloom;  vine  exceedingly  hardy.  Its 
earliness  makes  it  desirable  for  an 
early  market.

Best  Varieties  of  Blackberries 


This  profitable  fruit  should  be  planted  for  garden  use  in  rows  five  feet  apart,  with  plants 
three  feet  apart  in  rows;  for  market,  in  rows  six  feet  apart,  with  plants  three  feet  apart 
in  the  rows.  Give  the  plants  the  same  cultivation  as  for  raspberries. 


ELDORADO.  The  best  all-round  berry  yet  pro¬ 
duced,  combining  nearly  all  the  good  quali¬ 
ties  found  in  a  blackberry.  The  vines  are 
very  hardy  and  vigorous,  enduring  the  win¬ 
ters  of  the  far  Northwest  without  injury,  and 
their  yield  is  enormous.  The  berries  are 
large,  jet  black,  borne  in  large  clusters  and 
ripen  well  together;  they  are  very  sweet, 
melting,  have  no  hard  core  and  keep  for  eight 
or  ten  days  after  picking. 

SNYDER.  Extremely  hardy;  enormously  pro¬ 
ductive;  medium  size. 

Wilson’s  Early.  Large  size,  black,  quite  firm, 
rich,  sweet  and  gold.  Ripens  early  and  ma¬ 
tures  its  fruit  rapidly;  retains  its  color  well 
after  picking. 

Minnewaska.  Wonderful,  hardy,  productive,  good 
blackberry,  has  not  been  forgotten  by  us,  or 
our  old  patrons.  Its  principal  points  are 
hardiness,  excellent  quality,  earliness,  and 
continued  bearing  and  productiveness. 

Early  Harvest.  The  earliest  blackberry  and  val¬ 
uable  for  market.  The  canes  are  strong  and 
upright  in  growth  and  enormously  produc¬ 
tive.  Berries  sweet  and  of  the  highest  quality. 

Erie.  Bush  vigorous;  berry  large,  round;  good 
quality;  early  and  productive. 

RATHBUN.  Bush  perfectly  healthy,  vigorous, 
but  not  a  high  growing  sort;  very  rarely 
suckers  from  the  roots.  Fruit  of  largest 
size,  highest  quality. 


Agawam.  Ripens  earlier  than  other  kinds,  and 
has  a  flavor  similar  and  equal  to  the  wild 
berry.  Very  hardy. 

Ancient  Briton.  Bush  hardy  and  very  productive. 
One  of  the  best  old  sorts,  and  still  grown  in 
immense  quantities  by  successful  market 
gardeners. 

Blower.  Large  size,  jet  black,  good  shipper,  best 
quality,  unexcelled  productiveness  are  the 
main  characteristics  of  this  splendid  new  sort.

Garden  Roots — Asparagus  and  Rhubarb 

Cultivation — See  that  the  ground  is  well  drained,  natural¬ 
ly  or  otherwise,  work  it  up  fine  and  deep  and  make  it  very 
rich  with  well  rotted  barnyard  manure.  Locate  the  plants 
eight  inches  apart  in  rows  three  feet  apart.  Spread  out 
the  roots  in  a  trench  made  deep  enough  to  permit  their 
crowns  to  be  covered  with  three  or  four  inches  of  mellow 
earth.  Give  the  bed  liberal  dressings  of  manure  at  in¬ 
tervals,  and  except  near  the  sea-shore,  three  pounds  of 
salt  per  square  yard  early  every  spring.  Do  not  cut  for 
use  until  the  plants  have  grown  two  seasons. 

Palmetto — Until  recently  we  believed  that  Conover’s  Col¬ 
ossal  was  the  best  sort  known,  but  we  are  now  forced 
to  concede  that  the  Palmetto  is  earlier  and  a  better 
yielder,  and  more  even  and  better  in  growth,  and  that 
it  will  eventually  supersede  the  old  favorite.  The 
average  bunches  contain  155  shoots,  measuring  thir¬ 
teen  and  one-half  inches  in  circumference,  weighing 
nearly  two  pounds.  It  has  been  tested  both  north  and 
south,  and  has  proved  entirely  successful  in  every  in¬ 
stance. 

Barr’s  Mammoth — This  is  one  of  the  finest  varieties  of 
asparagus  ever  offered,  being  large  and  early.  Stalks 
are  large,  tender,  and  of  light  color. 

Conover’s  Colossal — This  variety  is  superior  in  size  and 
quality,  remarkably  tender  and  fine  flavored.  Valu¬

RASPBERRIES 

WILL  do  well  on  any  soil  that  will  produce 
a  good  corn  crop.  Land  should  be  thor¬

HARDY  BUSH  HYDRANGEA,  PANICULATA  GRANDIFLORA 


Hardy  Bush  Hydrangea  (Paniculata  Grandiflora) — We  urge  our  friends  to  plant  the  Hydrangea. 
Plant  it  for  the  following  reasons:  It  is  hardy,  enduring  the  severest  winters  outdoors  with¬ 
out  protection.  It  is  easily  transplanted,  not  one  in  a  thousand  dying.  It  never  fails  to  blos¬ 
som  the  first  year  planted;  no  matter  how  small  the  plant,  it  immediately  buds  out  in  great  pro¬ 
fusion  of  flowers.  When  the  specimens  first  open  they  are  greenish  white,  later  they  turn  to  a 
pure  white,  and  still  later  to  a  delicate  pink. 

PRICE  STRONG  2  YEAR  BUSHES,  18  to  24  inches,  45  cents  each,  2  for  55  cents,  10  for  $2.75. 


BARBERRY  [Berberis]  Red  Leaved  Barberry. 
(Berberis  Thunbergi  Atropurpurea).  A 
highly  important  introduction  among  shrubs, 
giving  us  for  the  first  time  a  practical  easily 
grown  shrub  of  medium  height,  with  good, 
distinctly  red  foliage.  This  must  prove  a 
boon  to  all  types  of  landscaping,  where 
studied  contrasts  are  to  be  worked  out  with 
the  shrub  foliage  depended  on  for  colors. 
Atropurpurea  is  an  exact  reproduction  of 
Thunbergi  in  every  way — habit,  leaf-formation 
and  fruiting,  but — whereas  the  original  is  a 
deep  green  from  spring  until  fall,  this  variety 
starts  off  in  its  first  foliage  a  warm  bronzy 
red;  the  heat  of  summer  intensifying  its  red 
brilliancy;  autumn  adding  other  tints  to  its 
richness.  The  abundant  scarlet  berries  per¬ 
sist  throughout  the  winter  along  the  spiny 
twigs.  A  sunny  exposure  is  necessary  to 
bring  out  and  retain  its  full  red  color. 
Price,  strong  2  year  Bushes,  12  to  18  inches, 
60  cents  each,  2  for  70  cents. 


Japan  Barberry.  (Berberis  Thunbergi.)  There 
is  no  shrub  in  existence  so  generally  planted 
or  more  practical  for  all  purposes  where  beau¬ 
tiful  foliage  effect  is  desired  than  this.  It  is 
dwarf  growing,  uniformly  bushy  and  rounded 
in  form,  susceptible  to  formal  pruning,  with 
small,  numerous  leaves  densely  covering  the 
thorny  twigs.  These  give  it  paramount  im¬ 
portance  for  use  as  a  filler,  and  edging  for 
shrubbery  groups;  as  a  foundation  screen  in 
front  of  porches;  and,  above  all,  as  a  compact, 
impassable,  hardy,  low  hedge  for  confining 
lawns  or  dividing  properties.  Although  vari¬ 
able  in  accordance  with  seasonable  conditions, 
the  autumn  foliage  is  scarlet  or  bronze,  and 
the  branches  studded  with  crimson  fruits. 

Price,  strong  2  year  Bushes,  well  branched, 
18  to  24  inches,  20c  each;  10  for  $1.75;  100  for

Received  your  catalogue  and  it  is  just 
what  I  have  been  waiting  for,  as  I  want 
to  put  in  more  trees  and  shrubs  this 
Spring. 

I  receive  several  catalogues  every 
Spring  but  I  always  wait  for  yours  be¬ 
fore  ordering,  as  I  can  save  money  by 
waiting  and  your  trees  have  all  done 
fine  with  me,  so  why  pay  twice  the  money 
for  trees,  when  you  do  not  have  to. 

The  trees  that  I  bought  of  you  ten 
years  ago  have  paid  for  themselves  sev¬ 
eral  times  over. 

Very  truly  yours.

Thirteen  years  ago  we  planted  a  fam¬

Kansas.  The  trees  did  fine  and  we  like 
them  so  well,  that’s  why  we  are  order¬ 
ing  from  you  now. 

Very  truly  yours, 

H.  Stevens.
