ANNOUNCEMENT.
In presenting this catalogue we degire to thank our many patrons who have
so liberally patronized us in the past, and it is with no small degree of pride
that we can now say that we can offer to our customers everything for the
fruit grower. Our nurseries have been enlarged, and with the present facilities
we have, we are in a position to give the best of satisfaction to one and all of
our customers. The stock we offer this year is unusually fine, and guaranteed
strictly true to name. Again we say we are grateful for the very liberal pat-
ronage received during the past year, and we respectfully solicit a further
continuance of the same.

western Michigan, seven miles south of St. Joseph, one mile west of Stevensvllle,
on the Pere Marquette railway, and three miles from Derby on the I., I. & I. R.

Peaches.
The peach requires a well drained soli. A warm sandy or gravelly loam Is
well suited to preserve a healthy growth and should be fertilized and kept In
cultivation. Ashes, potash and bone are excellent fertilizers, though the tree will
respond generously to any fair dressing material. Each year’s growth should
be shortened after the wood is ripe, to make the tree stronger, better shape and
more vigorous. In trimming trees to plant use a sharp knife, cut all bruised
roots off making a clean cut. Trim side limbs off three inches from tree; cut
tree off about three feet from the bud or ground according to the height you like.

Plums.
The plum is rapidly coming to the front as a leading market fruit. Usually
brings high prices and is scarce, especially good fruit. Plums need care and at-
tention, but they will pay for it all very liberally. The Japan plums bear youn-
ger than the Europeans, and are very great growers, with handsome foliage and
■ fruit. We have a fine stock of two year

Cherries.
A pleasing fruit is the luscious cherry which thrives in almost anv well
drained soli, sandy or loam being most favorable to its growth. Sweet cherries
make a beautiful shade tree and therefore are very desirable for dooryard plant-
ing.

Apples.
The foilowing list are all well tested sorts and we believe includes the best

drained soils. Give them care and spray in due season and they will surely be of
profit to the grower.

juicy, aromatic; an enormous bearer and hangs well on the tree; it is also a good
keeper, retaining its flavor to the last. We cannot say too much in favor of this
apple. All things considered, it is scarcely second to any now grown as a profit-
able orchard variety. Be sure to include this in every collection. December to
April.
BEH DAVIS, — Fruit medium to large; roundish, skin yellowish, splashed and
striped and almost covered with red; flesh white, tender, juicy and sub-acid, of

CJIAB APPLES.
A few years ago crab apples were regarder fit only for cider, preserves and
Jelly, but there are varieties now that command a good price on the market for
dessert purposes. Besides being useful, they are also very ornamental when in
bloom, and also when loaded with their highly colored fruit.
TRANSCENDENT CRAB — Fruit large for its class; golden yellow, with a

fruit; flesh creamy yellow, crisp, sub-acid, pleasant and agreeable. This Is truly

Grand Mere Nurseries,
^ut and Shade Trees.
AMERICAir SWEET CHESTNUT. — Succeeds best on gravelly soils, on ridges,
or on rocky hills or mountainous places. It is a native of the Atlantic coast
states, but has come into favor so much that it is planted North and in some of
the Western states with success. It succeeds best If transplanted when young.
We have several rows that bore a good crop when five years old, and we have
no hesitancy in stating that It would be one of our best paying crops had we
enough in bearing to make marketing necessary.
4 to 5 feet — price, each, 35 cents; dozen, $3.50; hundred $25.00.
CABOEINA FOFIiAH. — A healthy, vigorous native tree of rapid growth,
pyramidal in form, with large glossy leaves. It is free from attacks of Insects.

Strawberry Plants.
A. EUTKEB. — (Ferfect.) — Or August Luther,
as some prefer to call It, was originated by Mr.
A. Luther, of Missouri, and grown by him several
seasons before It was offered for sale. The Ohio
Experiment Station was first to call attention to
it, giving the following report In 1897: "Prom A.
Luther, perfect, unnamed seedling, plants vigor-
ous and prolific, berries medium to large, conical,
usually with long, slender point, light scarlet,
flesh light red, of good quality, more prolific than
Michel's Early and far larger. Earlier, larger and
more prolific than Rio. It is regarded as the best
early variety tested at the United States Agricul-
tural Station.” M. Crawford says: “This is one
of the most valuable early varieties we have ever
tested. It was originated near Kansas City a
number of years ago by Mr. August Luther, but
was Introduced only recently.”
The plant is a tough, slim grower with long,
cord-like roots, a rampant runner, free from rust,
and showing great vitality.
It ripens same season as Michel’s and Excel-
sior.
BEDEB WOOD. (Ferfect.) — This Is generally
conceded to be one of the very best early varie-
ties for home use or near market. It is a splen-
did grower, making a large number of strong runners. It has perfect blossoms
and Is immensely productive. Fruit of good size, light red, medium firmness
and good quality. One of the best to plant with early blooming pistillate varie-
ties.
BUBACH. — (Imperfect.) — Fruit large and handsome, roundish, conical, bright
scarlet, moderately firm, of fair quality. Plant a strong grower with large,
healthy foliage and very productive. Succeeds on light or heavy soil. Desira-
ble for home use or near market. One of the best of the later Introductions.
Season early to medium. This is an old standby and is deservedly popular. In
plant growth It is vigorous, but does not throw out the excess of runners, hence
it Is best grown in hedge or half-matted row.
CHAIiEENQE. — (Ferfect.) — The Challenge was originated at Breckenridge.
Missouri, about ten years ago. We fruited It last season. The plant is very
large, healthy and a fair runner. After bearing, however, it scarcely sends out
any runners. As a bearer we believe it will equal Haverland or any other of
the famously productive varieties. The fruit Is of Immense size, fairly regular
in form and never misshapen. In form it somewhat resembles the Parker Earle,
but Is almost as broad across the middle as It is long, is slightly flattened, has a
neck and a rounded point. The color is dark red, glossy, and the color extends
well into the fruit. The quality is excellent. But It Is on the score of firmness
and power to resist drouth that it will surpass the other large, productive mar-
ket berries.

CI.YDE. — (Perfect.) — One of the best
of the early, large-fruited varieties, yield-
ing abundantly, and Is very profitable. The
berries are bright In color, hold up well, be-
ing moderately firm, and, owing to their
size and quality, sell quickly and bring good
returns. It is an admirable early sort for
the family garden. The plant is excellent;
a vigorous grower with large, dark green
foliage, entirely free from rust and blight,
and exceedingly productive.
DORNAN. — (Perfect.) — Introduced last
season by Flansberg & Pierson as Uncle
Jim, but later the State Horticultural So-
ciety changed the name to “Dornan” after
the discoverer, J. F. Dornan, of Glenn,
Mich., who has fruited it for several sea-
sons.
“The plant is large and healthy, a
strong grower, making a good row of well-
rooted, stocky plants. The berries are very
iarge, heart shape and very uniform, beau-
tiful and attractive. Flesh red when fully
ripe, an excelent canner and a most desira-
ble shipper. The variety has a perfect blos-
som and is wonderfully productive. Mr.
Dornan states that it will stand up and
pick for from four to five weeks and produce twice as many coses per acre as
any other variety. Season medium to late. We wish to say we have grown
and tested over 200 named varieties besides other hundreds of unnamed seed-
lings, and we consider the Uncle Jim the finest of them all." — Introducer.
ERCEIiSIOR. — (Perfect.) — The best extra early berry we have fruited. Same
season as Michel’s and A. Luther. It is an excellent grower of good, clean,
healthy foliage; it is a great plant maker; the berries are dark, red nearly as
dark as "Warfield of good size; one of the best shippers; does not get soft when
ripe; will stand as much handling as the old Wilson without bruising; will ship
any place. It has given the largest crops of any variety of its season here
among the fruit growers. Many claim it to pay them better than any other va-
riety when set on fairly good soil. ’
HA’FERLAIID. -(Imperfect.) — Season medium early. This berry when well
propagated holds its place as the most productive berry grown. While it is not
classed as a firm berry yet it has a tough skin and handles well for the market.
Its stems are not strong enough to hold the immense loads of berries up from
the ground and must be mulched to protect them. Berries large and uniform.
IiOVETT. — (Perfect.) — One of our best pollenizers. It is certainly a valua-
ble acquisition to the list of good berries. Fruit large, solid and firm, excellent
for market and first rate for home use also. It has a healthy, vigorous plant,
ranks above medium in productiveness and is one of the best pollenizers.
lESTER EOVETT. — (Perfect.) — Introduced three years ago by J. T. Lovett,
of New Jersey, the introducer of the Gandy, who says of it: “The Lester Lovett
possesses all the valuable properties of the Gandy, with added lateness; is won-
derfully prolific, and of superior quality. Its season is ten days later than Gandy
and all other varieties in cultivation, and continues to yield large, fine fruit for
two weeks after the last berries of (Sandy have ripened. The berries are globu-
lar, or slightly conical, uniformly very large and perfect in shape, continuing
large to the close of the season; color, brilliant, which they hold better and
longer after being picked than any other variety I know; exceeding firm, and of
the highest rich, sweet flavor, with a delightful and decided aroma. It is a
veritable giant in every particular, and as far superior to the Gandy as is that
popular variety to the best of the late varieties that preceded it. It Is entirely
free from rust or blight, and the blossom is perfect.”
Not fruited here.
MICHEL’S EARLY. (Perfect.) — The plant is a vigorous grower, not very
productive, of good size, and matures its crop early when berries are high. One
of the best to fertilize w'lth, as it blooms through a long season and is full of
pollen. Does the best on light soil. We have a large stock which are pure and
fine large plants.
MILLER. — (Perfect.) — The veteran grower. Mathew Crawford, says: "I con-
sider that the Miller is either the best variety in existence or one of the beat.
It has frluited here twice and not a single weakness that I have discovered. The
plant is as large as the Nick Ohmer or Marshall, perfectly healthy, has a perfect
blossom and continues to blossom until after some of the fruit ripens. It sends
out an abundance of strong runners, is wonderfully productive, and ripens every
CI.YDE.
10
Grand Mere Nurseries,
berry under favorable conditions.” The fruit is very large, roundish, conical in
form, and of a bright, glossy red color. The coloring extends but a short dis-
tance from the surface, the flesh being cream or light salmon. The quality is
so good that no person is likely to find fault with it. It ripens all over, light red
at first, getting darker until fully ripe.
MOmTOB — (Perfect.) — This magnicent berry, a product of southwest Mis-
souri, originated as a chance seedling in the orchard of Mr. Z. T. Russell on a
plot that formerly cantained Crescent, Captain Jack and Cumberland. It has
all the productiveness of the most productive Crescent, the beautiful vigorous
foliage of the Capt. Jack, and is very much larger and more firm than the Cum-
berland. It is a fine plant maker.
mCK OHMER. (Perfect.)
— lias been extensively tried
all over the country and all
speak well of it. As might be
expected from the vigorous
character of the plant the ber-
ry though large Is very well
held up on strong fruit stems.
It is a bright smooth round
berry of highest quality and
among the firmest good berries.
No berry that has ever been
sent out has been better receiv-
ed than the Nick Ohmer; be-
gins in mid season and lasts
quite late.
OOM PAUL. - (Perfect.)—
Mr. Kevitt says in his intro-
duction of the variety: "Pa-
rentage, Jessie and Bubach.
Stupendous in size and delic-
ious in fl.avor, elegant color,
shipping the best. The plant
is a very rank grower. Anoth-
er strong point in favor of the
Oom Paul is that the last pick-
ing never runs small. Very
prolific; in shape inclines to
Jessie. The berries .are called
giants by visitors here. Single
plants yield a full quart. A
record breaker — six berries filled
were picked from two hundred and eighty Oom Paul plants at one picking."
The above is the description given by the introducer. We only had a few
plants left to fruit the past season. The berries were exceedingly large, pro-
ductive, of good color and quality. For a large showy market berry we would
class it among one of the best.
POCOMOKE. — (Perfect.) — Comes from Maryland, is claimed by the origina-
tor to be "One of the best varieties in existence, enormously productive, large
sized berries, unusually firm, nicely colored and flavored, perfect bloom, ripens
with Clyde and Crescent and bears four weeks, hardy as a thistle and succeeds
on any soil.” We have fruited it and will say that it is a splendid grower.
Very productive of fine, large, firm berries. Try it.
SENATOR DUNEAP. — (Perfect.) — No variety has been more thoroughlv test-
ed in ail sections of the country during the past three seasons than this, and has
given such general satisfaction everywhere that it is sure to take its place
with the best standard varieties. The plants are not large, but deep rooted,
bright glossy green', without a sign of disease and will grow anywhere, and with
almost any kind of treatment. It is very productive and usually matures every
berry, and they are of medium to large, regular size and shape, bright glossy red.
a good shipper and of extra quality. The Dunlap is a handsome berry in the
box and always sells well.
sample. — (I mperfect.) — The plant is very large and runs well. It makes a
great growth of fine roots and is less likely to be he.aved out in winter than
some other varieties. It is healthy, free from hust and extremely productive —
probably the most of any variety on the market. The fruit is very large, uni-
form in shape, roundish conical, frequently with a neck, dark red clear through,
colors all over at once: quality fair or good: firmness somewhat lacking. It
grows well under any system of culture.
BEET. — (Perfect.) — It has a perfect blossom and is very productive. It
is very large; the first berry on a stem is quite apt to be coxcombed, but those
following are rather long, conical and quite uniform in shape and size. The
color is bright glossy red; it colors all over: it is quite firm, good qu.alitv. We

have fruited it five seasons and And it a valuable market berry. Originated in
southern Ohio by Wm. Belt. Season same as Parker Karle, producing more mar-
ket berries. Does well on light or heavy soil.
WABFIEliD. — (Imperfect.) — This is an old standard and profitable sort for
market and there is always a great demand for plants. It succeeds almost
everywhere. As it is a good runner it rarely fails making a good row. Berries
are medium size and very firm, color dark red. Many raise.lt almost exclusively
with only some pollenizing sort with it.
The Senator Dunlap is one of the best berries to fertilize the Warfield with,,
as the berries resemble each other very much and both ripen at the same time.

Grand Mere Nurseries,
Raspberries.
CULTUBZ.— -Any soil that will produce good field crop is suitable for rasp-
berries. Pulverize the ground thoroughly and manure liberally. The red or
sucker variety should be planted in rows six feet apart with the plants four feet
apart in rows; requiring 2,400 plants per acre.
The cap varieties for field culture should be planted in rows seven feet
apart with the plant three feet and six Inches in the rows; requiring 1,725
plants per acre. In garden culture .plants four feet apart each way.
Our customers will find our plants well rooted and first class in every par-
ticular.
If to be sent by mail add 10 cents per dozen; 40 cents per hundred; at
thousand rates by express or freight only.
MIIiIiZB BZD BASFBZBBY. — The bush Is a stout, healthy, vigorous grower,
not quite so tall as the Cuthbert, rather more stocky and dwarfish. It is well
calculated to hold up Immense crops of fruit with which it loads itself. The
introducer claims: Extreme hardiness; as productive as any. It is quite early,
an excellent shipper, of good quality and attractive color. It should be tried
by all who want the best shipper to distant markets. Dozen, 25 cents; hundred,
75 cents: thousand, $5.00.
IiOUSON. — New red raspberry from Wisconsin. Plants hardier and more
productive than Cuthbert, canes thornless, begin to ripen a few day searlier than
Cuthbert and continues longer, berries larger, firmer and brighter color, clings
well to the stem and never crumbles; is one of the best shippers, enormously
productive, of excellent quality. I have fruited it two seasons. It is surely the
best medium to late raspberry. Dozen, 35 cents; hundred, $1.25; thousand,
$10.00. All fine transplanted plants.
CUTHBZBT, OB QUEZB OP THE MABKET A remarkably strong, hardy
variety. Stands the northern winds and southern summers equal to any. Berry
very large, conical, rich crimson, very handsome, and so firm that they can be
shipped hundreds of miles by rail in good condition. Flavor is sweet, rich and
luscious. The leading market variety for main crop. Dozen, 25 cents; hundred,
75 cents: thousand, $5.50.
THOMPSON’S EABI.Y PBOI.IFIC — This Is the best early red raspberry;
thrifty grower; fair size; productive; firm. Same season as Hansel, much
better grower and better yielder. This season it yielded nearly one hundred
bushels per acre here; it is without doubt the best early berry. Dozen, 26 cents:
hundred, 60 cents; thousand, $5.00.
KINO. — (Bed Baspberry.) — This new variety originated in Ohio and is
claimed to be one of the most beautiful red raspberries ever put on the market.
Its season is the very earliest, ripening with or before Hansell, and much In ad-
vance of Miller. Its fruit is as bright in color as either of the last two named — -
there are none brighter or more beautiful — and of the very best quality, fully
equaling the Cuthbert in this respect as well as in size, and is much firmer
than this grand variety. In productiveness it is equal to any red raspberry, and
Stevensville, Michigan.
13
In vigorous growth and hardiness of cane as well as in the enduring properties
of its foliage. We have not yet fruited it here. We set out a patch last season
and same has made a fine showing in every way. It shows great vigor of cane
and there is no question but what it will prove to be a valuable requisite to the
grower of red raspberries. Price, dozen, 50 cents; hundred, $2.00.
The cap varieties for field culture should be placed in rows seven feet apart
with the plants three feet and six Inches in the rows, requiring 1,725 plants per
acre. In garden culture, plants four feet apart each way.
Our customers will find our plants well rooted and first class in every par-
ticular.
If to be sent by mail add ten cents per dozen; forty cents per hundred; at
thousand rates by express or freight only.
These are all Propagated from Tips.
CUMBXiBIiAIID. (New.) — Description by the Introducers: "This new rasp-
berry is placed upon the market after having been carefuly tested for a period
of years, and is now offered with the full assurance that it is the most profitable
and desirable market variety yet known, because of its Immense size, firmness
and great productiveness, well entitling it to the designation of ‘The Business
Black Cap. In hardiness and productiveness it is unexcelled by any other va-
riety. In size the fruit is simply enormous, far surpassing any other sort. The
berries run seven-eighths and fifteen-sixteenths of an Inch in diameter, and are
of such handsome appearance that their fruit sold for 10 cents per quart when
other varieties were selling for 5 to 7 cents per quart. The quality is very simi-
lar and fully equal to Gregg, which has always been considered the finest of the
blackcaps in this respect. In spite of its unusually large size the fruit Is pas-
sessed of great firmness and iS well adapted for standing long shipments. The
seasoning of ripening varies, of course, in different latitudes, and can best be
designated with other varieties. It follows Palmer and Souhegan and precedes
Gregg a short time making what we call a midseason variety. The bush is
exceedingly healthy and vigorous, throwing up stout, stocky canes, well adapted
for supporting their loads of large fruit. It has also shown Itself remarkably
free from that scourge of its family, anthracnose, it having been entirely unaf-
fected by this disease, even when other varieties near it were suffering from It
very badly." Dozen, 50 cents; hundred. $1.75.
GBEGG. — Very best of the late blackcaps; very large; wants good soil to
produce best results; fruit very fine and covered with bloom. It is the leading
market variety all over the country; best for evaporating of any variety, as It
is said to give most pounds to the bushel of any kind. Dozen. 35 cents; hundred,
$1.00; thousand, $7.00.
MTINGEB. — As Eureka is valuable for early, so Hunger holds the same prom-
inence as a late variety for “Fancy Market.” Berries of Immense size, beautiful
color, productive, and in every way suitable for home use or market, always
commanding the top notch in the market. Read carefully all that Is said of It.
Description: “The fruit if Munger is black and resembles Gregg very much,
it is a better flavored berry than Gregg, tougher In texture, and therefore a
better shipper. In size it excels Gregg by almost 25 per cent., being extra fine for
canning and evaporating. Its season of ripening is from two to five days later
than Gregg and has a special faculty of withstanding drouth and hot sun."
Dozen. 40 cents; hundred, $1.50.
EVBEKA. — Ripens a few days later than Souhegan and earlier than Ohio.
Fruit large and firm, almost equalling Gregg in size. Quality is of the best.
Berry free from bloom and very attractive in the measure, making it a splendid
seller. The canes make a strong upright growth, with a bright healthy color
resembling Ohio, and are quite as hardy. One peculiarity of Eureka Is that it
seldom throws more than four new canes each season to the hill, and never less
-than two; thus it is not necessary to thin the canes to the proper number, as
nature performs this task. Its ability to bear fruit is truly wonderful. Dozen.
35 cents; hundred, $1.00.
CONBATH.- -Resembles Gregg in many ways, but is much earlier and Is
firm, sweet and good — maintaining its large size to the last picking. The canes
are of iron-clad hardiness, very prolific, and make a strong, healthy growth. It
ripens early. Dozen, 35 cents; hundred, $1.00.
KANSAS.- -For a good second early blackcap there is nothing better than
this. It possesses all the valuable attributes of a profitable market sort, and its
large size and attractive appearance Insures for it always a ready sale and good
prices. The fruit is as large as the Gregg and with much less bloom, handsome,
firm and of fine quality. Its canes are of strong growth, entirely hardy and pro-
lific; with tough, healthy, clean foliage. Its season is about second early — later
than Souhegan, but much earlier than Gregg. By reason of its greater hardiness,
less bloom, and ripening earlier, it is a great improvement upon Gregg. Dozen.
35 cents; hundred, $1.00; thousand, $7.00.
CABDINAH. — This is a new variety of Shaffer type and is claimed to be su-
perior to either Shaffer or Columbian, both in hardiness of cane and productive-
ness. It originated in Kansas and the introducer claims it has stood a temper-
ature of thirtv-five degrees below zero without Injury. It also withstands the
drouth and heat as well, holding its foliage, which is described as thick, short,
broad and deeply wrinkled, dark green in color, until the severe cold of De-
14
Grand Mere Nurseries,
cember. It is a very strong grower, with bright red bark, and very few small
thorns. It propagates from tips same as blackcap. The berries are large,
dark red, firm as' to texture, with an agreeable, pure, rich flavor, which is brought
to its highest perfection when canned or cooked in pies. Their season is rather
late and they hold on well. Dozen. .50 cents; hundred. $2.00.
Blackberries.
Should be planted in rows six to seven feet apart, three to five feet in the
rows. Keep the ground light and rich. Pinch the canes back when they have
reached the height of from two to three feet. If to be sent by mail add 15
cents per dozen, or 60 cents per hundred for postage.
EIDOBADO.— The especially valuable qualities claimed for this fine new
blackberry are:' Great productiveness, hardiness, extra fine quality and sweet-
ness of flavor, without core, a combination surely of all that can be desired in
blackberry. Like many of our best fruits, it was an accidental seedling, and
comes from Prebe county. Ohio. It has been in cultivation for twelve years, and
under careful tests for four years at the different experimental stations. It is
one of the few fruits which seem to have no bad qualities. While its flavor is
high, it is also productive and will stand any climate, it is also remarkable
for its keeping qualities. M’^e have tested the fruit and find it in quality all that
it is claimed to be. The berries are large. Jet black, borne in clusters, and ri-
pen well together, sweet, melting, rich and pleasant to the taste. I have fruited
it three years and believe it to be superior to any of the variety: it is most
productive of any. All root-cutting plants at dozen, 35 cents: hundred, $1.50.
EABL'S' KIITCl. — An extra early blackberry, exceedingly hardy variety of
great merit. We have fruited it six seasons without winter protection, always
producing large crops. Canes of strong growth, as hardy as Snyder and very
prolific. It is much larger than Early Harvest and its delicious sweetness ren-
ders it of special value for home use or market. It is also free of double bloom
and other disease. We have had it go through hard spring frosts in blossom-
ing time without injury, when Lawton and Wilson near by were nearly all
killed. Plants, root-cuttings. Price, per dozen, 25 cents: hundred, $1.50: thous-
and, $12.00. Sucker plants $10.00 per thousand.
IlABIi'7 HARVEST. — Same season as Early King, attractive appearance, firm-
ness and productiveness. Berries not of largest size, but very uniform, of
bright glo.ssy black, and excellent in quality. It is not entirely hardy, but suc-
ceeds in all but very cold sections, and a very slight protection suffices for it
there. For the south it is especially valuable, and profitable everywhere by rea-
son of its earliness and productlvene.ss. Dozen, 25 cents: hundred, 75 cents:
thousand, $5.00.
WIIiSON’S EARIiY.— Of good size, very early, beautiful dark color, of sweet,
excellent flavor and very productive. Ripens the w'hole crop nearly together.
Dozen, 25 cents: hundred, 75 cents: thousand. $6.50.
KERSEBEATJ BEACKBEBRV. — This early mammoth iron-clad blackberry
originated in northw'estern New York, where the mercury falls from 15 to 25 de-
grees below zero, and where it has stood in opeai field culture for a great many
years without the slightest protection and has never been Injured. It has proved
hardy here, very prolific, and the fruit is large, sweet and of good color. We
consider it superior to the Snyder, our standard here in the west. It is hardy
and quite as prolific as Snyder, and the fruit is much larger and better. TJnsur-
pessed as a keeper and shipper. Price. Dozen. 75 cents; hundred, $3.00.

Dewberries.
IiTTCRETIA DEWBERRY. — Claimed to be the best of the blackberry family.
Berries are far larger and incomparably better than any blackberry; of une-
qualled excelence; soft, sweet and luscious throughout, of brightest glossy black
color. The I.ucretia Dewberry has received the endorsement and highest praise
from the best horticulturists in the country. Its eminent success in all soil is
something phenomenal in small fruit culture. Its trailing habit renders it less
likely to winter kill. Dozen, 35 cents; hundred, $1.00; thou.sand. $8.00.

Currants.
PAY'S PROLIFIC CURRANT, — A seedling of Cherry that originated in 1868,
with Lincoln Fay. It was introduced about
twelve years ago, and is now generally known.
Its clusters are long and attractive, filled with
large fruit, making it desirable for market
where there is a demand for currants for des-
sert use. It is liked at canning factories for
making jelly .or jam. on account of its large
size, thin skin, and rich juicy pulp.
Bush vigorous, but not as strong a grower
as Red Cross. Its canes are somewhat spread-
ing and not always strong enough to remain
upright when weighted with fruit. The clus-
ters very from two and a half to four inches
long. The cluster stems are long, leaving
•enough room between the wood and the fruit
to make it easy to gather. The berries very
from medium to very large, averaging large.
They are quite uniform in size, of good color.
Pulp less acid than that of Cherry. Its aver-

Grand Mere Nurseries,
Grapevines
While we have not an extensive variety of grape vines, we have a fine stock
of the most popular varieties in the country.
CONCORD. — A large, purplish hlack grape, ripening about the middle of Sep-
tember; vines remarkably vigorous and free from disease: the standard for
productiveness and hardiness all over the country. One year, No. 1, by mail, post-
paid, each, 10 cents; dozen, 75 cents; two year old, each, 15 cents; dozen, $1.00.
By express, not prepaid, one year, each. 5 cents; dozen, 50 cents; hundred. $2.50;
two year old, each, 10 cents; dozen, 75 cents; hundred, $3.50.
CHAMPION OB TAiliMAN Vine a Strong, vigorous grower, hardy and pro-
ductive; bunch large; berries large, black, quality poor, but pro0table as a mar-
ket grrape because of its extreme earliness. One year old, by mail postpaid,
each, 10 cents; dozen, 75 cents; two year old, each, 15 cents; dozen, $1.00. By
express, not prepaid, one year old, each, 5 cents; dozen 50 cents; hundred, $2.50;
two year old, each, 10 cents; dozen 75 cents; hundred, $3.50.
CAMFBEliIi’S EABliY. — It is strong, hardy, vigorous growth, thick, heavy,
perfectly healthy foliage, very early ripening and abundant bearing of largo
and handsome clusters of excellent quality, combined with the most remarkable
keeping and shipping qualities, form a combination not equalled by any other
grape. Its period of full maturity is from the middle to the last of August, ac-
cording to the season, ripening with Moore's Early, but unlike that variety, it
has kept sound and parfect, both on and off the vine for weeks after Moore's
Early was decayed and gone. In dessert quality it is unrivaled by any of our
' present list of first early market grapes. It is, both as to cluster and berry, of
large size, of a glossy black color, with a beautiful blue bloom, pulp sweet and
juicy, free from foxiness, seeds small, few in number and part readily from the
pulp. We have fruited the Campbell two seasons and find it far superior to any
we have ever fruited, are so well pleased with them we intend setting out a
large vineyard of them this spring. One year old, by mall, postpaid, each. 30
cents; dozen, $3.00. By express, not prepaid, each, 25 cents; dozen, $2.50.
DEIiA'WABE. — Still holds its own as one of the finest red grapes. Bunches
small, compact, shouldered; berries rather small, round: skin thin, light red;
flesh very juicy, without any hard pulp, with an exceedingly sweet, spicy and
delicious flavor. Vine moderately vigorous, hardy and productive. Ripens early.
One year. No. 1. by mail, postpaid, each, 15 cents; dozen, $1.25; two year old,
by mail, postpaid, each, 20 cents; dozen, $1.50. By express, not prepaid, one
year old, each 10 cents; dozen. $1.00; hundred, $4.00; two year old, each 15
cents: dozen. $1.25; hundred. $5.00.
DIAMOND. — (Moore’s.) — In vigor of growth, texture, foliage and hardiness
of vine, it partakes of the nature of its parent. Concord, while in quality the
fruit is equal to many of the best tender sorts and ripens two or three weeks
earlier than Concord. The color is a delicate greenish white, with a rich yellow
tinge when fully ripe; skin smooth and entirely free from the brown specks
and dots which characterize many of the white varieties; very few seeds, juicy
and almost entirely free from pulp. Berry about the size of the Concord a
adheres firmly to the stem. One of the best of recent introductions. By mail,
post paid — one year old, each, 10 cents; dozen, $1.00; two year old, each, 15
cents; dozen, $1.25. By express, not prepaid — one year old, each, 8 cents; dozen,
75 cents; hundred, $3.50; two year old, each 10 cents; dozen $1.00; hundred,
$4.50.
MOORE’S EARDY. — A black grape. Raised from seed by John B. Moore, Con-
cord, Mass., in 1872. Bunch large, berry round (as large as the Wilder or Rog-
ers’ No. 4); color black, with a heavy blue bloom; quality better than the Con-
cord: vine exceedingly hardy; has nSver been covered in winter, and has been
exposed to a temperature of more than twenty degrees below zero without injury,
and it has been entirely exempt from mildew or diseas. Its earliness makes it
desirable for an early crop, and more particularly adapts It to New England and
the northern portion of the United States, maturing, as it does ten days before
the Hartford and twenty before the Concord. By mail, postpaid — one year old.
each, 10 cents; dozen. $1.00; two year old, each 15 cents; dozen, $1.25. By ex-
press. not prepaid — one year old, each. 8 cents; dozen, 75 cents; hundred, $3.50:
two year old, each, 10 cents; dozen, $1.00; hundred, $4.50.
NIAQAbA 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. Skin thin but tough;
quality much like Concord. By mail, postpaid — one year old. each 10 cents:
doz'en, $1.00; two year old. each 15 cents; dozen, $1.25. By express, not pre-
paid — one year old, each. 5 cents; dozen, 75 cents: hundred, $3.00; two year old,
each, 10 cents; dozen. $1.00; hundred, $4.00.
WORDEN. — (True.) — In brief, an improved Concord; being larger in both
bunch and berry, handsomer, nearly two weeks earlier and of better quality.
Very choice and reliable. By mail, postpaid — one year old, each 10 cents; doz-
en. 75 cents; two year old. each 15 cents; dozen, $1.00. By express, not prepaid
— one year old, each 5 cents; dozen, 50 cents; hundred. $3.00; two year old.
each, 10 cents; dozen, 75 cents; hundred. $3.50.

DWARF PEARS

two varieties do the best as
dwarfs. Dwarf pears are
grown on quince stock, and

Strict attention to them, and high cultivation
will result in a magnificent yield of fruit. The
size of the tree makes them valuable on ac-
count of the ease of collecting the fruit and
spraying.

PEACHES
EI.BERTA PEACH.
The peach requires a well drained soil, a
warm sandy or gravelly loam is well suited to
preserve a healthy growth, and should be fertil-
ized and kept in cultivation. Ashes, potash,
and bone are excellent fertilizers, though the
tree will respond excellently to any fair dres.s-
Ing material. Each year’s growth should be
shortened after the wood Is ripe, to make the
tree stronger, better shape and more vigorous.
In trimming trees to plant use a sharp knife,
cut all bruised roots off. making a clean cut.
Trim side limbs off three Inches from tree; cut
tree off about three feet from the bud or
ground according to the height you like.

The Stearns Peach. — This peach was originat-
ed in the heart of the great Fruit Belt of Mich-
igan by James N. Stearns, of South Haven,
Mich. Mr. Stearns needs no introduction to the
fruit growing public of Michigan, for the long,
faithful and valuable service he has rendered
the Michigan Horticultural Societies. The
Farmers’ Institutes, his origination of the Kal-
amazoo peach and other noteworthy efforts,
have made his name familiar, and his judgment
and ability recognized throughout, the boarders
of Michigan and other states. The Stearns
peach, after having been thoroughly
tested, is introduced with every as-
surance from the originator that it
surpasses any other variety yet giv-
en to the public. Possessing the size
and firmness of the Elberta, the
quality and flavor of the Crawford,
the hardiness and prolificness
of the Kalamazoo, together
with the fact of its being per-
fectly free from curl leaf.
Has fruited here on 2 year old
trees and Is very promising.

from North Carolina where it
has been fruited In commer-
cial orchards for the past four
years. It Is a week earlier
than the Sneed, heretofore the earli-
est peach knoNvn. Unlike Sneed and
the other early varieties It Is a red
peach, absolutely red all over, even
before It gets ripe enough to ship.
Carries to market In fine shape and

SWEET CHERRIES
Sweet cherries are of rapid growth, with
large glossy leaves, forming fine pyramid shap-
ed heads, and producing large crops of luscious
sweet fruit. Sour cherries generally produce
acid fruit, and do not attain so large a size.
They are well adapted for dwarfs or pyramids.
Are hardier and better adapted for shipping to
market, wo know of nothing In the fruit line
that has been giving or promises to give in
the future larger returns than cherry orchards.
Few markets are ever supplied.

ASPARAGUS
No garden is too small to have a bed of this
earliest and finest of spring vegetables. Pre-
pare ground by trenching to depth of two feet,
mixing each layer of soil as turned over with
two or three inches of well rotted manure. This
Is one of the most profitable crops to grow,
and one that is easily handled. A field well
planted will last a lifetime. Plant rows from
three to four feet apart. 12 to 15 inches apart
In a row. Do not cut for use until the plants
have grown two seasons.
Palmetto. — This Is a new sort, which is be-
coming quite popular. It produces shoots of
the very largest size. It Is very early, which
makes it very valuable for market or home use.

STRAWBERRIES
Strawberries will succeed in any soil that
Is adapted to ordinary farm garden crops;
soil should be thoroughly prepared to a good
depth, w*ell drained and enriched. In field cul<
ture set the rows from three to three and a half
feet apart, 15 to 18 inches In rows; for garden
16 Inches apart each way, leaving pathway
every third row. To produce fine large fruit,
heap in hills, pinching runners off as soon as
they appear. Ground should always be kept
clean and well cultivated. In winter, a cover-
ing of leaves, straw, or some kind of litter,
will protect the plants. Do not cover them
until ground Is frozen, or so deep as to smother
the plants, and remove covering before growth
starts In spring. Mulching will keep the fruit
BALDWIN’S PRIDE OF MICHIGAN
clean and the soil in good condition through
the fruiting season. The blossoms of those
marked with a (p) are destitute of stamens,
and are termed pistillate, and unless a row
of perfect fiowerlng variety is planted at In-
tervals not exceeding a rod, they will produce
Imperfect fruit, and but little of it, but when
properly fertilized, as a rule, they are more
prolific than those with perfect flowers. Our
stock Is pure, each kind kept by Itself, culti-
vated entirely for the production of plants;
they are carefully graded, handled and packed,
and certainly give the best of satisfaction.
Aroma. — This Is our best and most profitable
late strawberry. It cannot be beaten for quan-
tity of fruit produced, or in quality of fruit.
Plants show no weakness of any kind. Fruit
very large, roundish conical rarely mishapen,
glossy red, of excellent quality, and produced
in abundance. Same season as Gandy.
Beder Wood, — This variety was originated
by Beder Wood of Illinois. We have fruited
it for many years, and found It to be a very
heavy bearer, of good size, roundish fruit.
Does well on nearly all soila Season early, a
good stamina to fertilize early varieties like
Crescent, Warfield, etc. The plant is a good
healthy grower, and sends out a number of
large runners. Beder Wood is very deep root-
ed and will stand drouth better than most va-
rieties.
Bubach (P), — By far more plants of this va-
riety are used than any other sort. Its large
and uniform size, fine form and color, unsur-
passed productiveness, and great vigor, com-
bine to make It the leading market sort, The^
plant is very large and fine looking, but a slow
plant maker.
Barton’s Eclipse (P). — A good standard sort,,
but has been overlooked by some; one of the
best for field crops, a splendid grower and a
heavy yielder, of large size, good color, and
highly flavored. Early to mid-season.
Baldwin’s Pride of Michigan. — We have not
as yet fruited this variety. We bought our
stock of plants last spring of the Introducer.
Below is his description:
We call this variety Baldwin’s Pride of Mich-
igan as there was a Pride of Michigan Intro-
duced by the Kellogg Company about the same
time, that wo knew nothing about when we
named our berry.
We place this variety first on our list be-
cause this Is where it should be. It’s the best
thing we have. Baldwin’s Pride of Michigan iSr
without doubt, the best and most profitable
variety of strawberry ever introduced in the
United States.
This grand variety was Introduced by us two
years ago. This summer we again found our
Pride of Michigan to be our most profitable
strawberry. It cannot be beaten, at least, is
not beaten by any variety that we have seen,
and we have fruited over one hundred kinds.
We firmly believe that when fruit growers
throughout the country try this berry they will
want a quantity of them. It is certainly a
beauty from every standpoint.
Plant is perfect and berry Is perfect. Here
are the qualities that make It a most valuable
variety.
Productiveness — Will outyield any other
strawberry.
Color — Dark glossy red (all through).
Season of Ripening — Second early (ripens with
Senator Dunlap.)
Size— About like Haverland and Glen Mary.
Shipping Quality— The best. Very tough
skin, and a firm berry.
Shape— Rather oblong. Resembles .Haver-
land, never misshapen. (See picture.)
Blossom — Perfect. (A strong fertilizer.)
Plant — Very vigorous and healthy. (A good
plant maker.)
Fruit Stems — Are strong, stand up well and
there are plenty of them.
^Vhat more could one ask for In the way of
qualifications of a perfect strawberry?
Last year many of you were disappointed
In not being able to get our Pride of Michigan.
We were sold out early and could have sold
nearly two hundred thousand more if we had
had the plants.
Clyde. — ^A strong growing, perfect blooming,
healthy plant, with light green foliage. Ev-
erywhere tested. It proved to be exceedingly
productive, large, globular, perfectly form-
ed, always inclined to overbear. Some plants
have more fruit stalks than leaf stalks. A
light application of nitrate of soda, in early
spring before fruiting will stimulate greater
foliage growth, and so help the fruiting of this
remarkable variety.
Crescent (P). — A standard of productiveness
all over the country; succeeds every where.
Stands neglect best of any; plant small, berries
fair size, bright and attractive. Not very
firm. Many growers consider this the most
profitable berrj' for market.
Glen Mary. — Berries large to very large, often
flattened, bright deep red on surface; light red
to center. Sweet, rich, good flavor. Season,
medium to late. One of the most productive
and holds Its size well to the end of the sea-
son. Plants very vigorous, and one of the best
for home use and nearby market.
10
llaverland (P). — A fine grower, very produc-
tive; one of the best of the leading early mar-
ket sorts. Berries uniform, long, medium size,
and good quality.
Pocomoke. — The berry Is round, conical, and
resembles the old Wilson, but is much larger,
and one of the best varieties in existence, not
only for its enormous productiveness, but on
account of its beauty. Adapted to all soils.
Its large, deep red color, firmness and high
flavor make It one of the most profitable ship-
pers.
Senator Dunlap. — A well tested, wonderfully
productive variety, one of the safe sorts to
plant everywhere and sure to take a high place
among the prominent standard sorts, plant re-
sembles Warfield, rampant runner, should be
restricted in its production of plants; fully
equal to Crescent and M'^arfield in its ability to
succeed under all circumstances. Fruit good
size, regular form, beautiful bright red, glossy,
firm, splendid keeper and shipper, excellent
quality, one of the best for canning. Ripens
early, and continues a long time. It promises
to stand at the head In its wonderful ability
to ripen a good crop under almost any con-
dition of drouth or neglect.
Sample (P). — One of the very best berries,
and it seems to succeed nearly everywhere.
Plants strong, large and healthy, producing in
profusion large, dark colored berries, of uni-
form size and color. Firm enough to ship well,
one of the best standard sorts for home use
and market. Season, late.
I'ennessee Prolific. — One of the good medium
early varieties. Large size and productive. It
is a very vigorous healthy plant, with never
a spot of rust. It has a strong staminate
blossom, and Is especially valuable as a pol-
lenizer.
Uncle Jim. — (P) — A new variety of much
worth. The Uncle Jim resembles the New York,
Marshall, and varieties of that class; but in
quality, firmness and productiveness it is hejid
and shoulders above them all. Unlike many
berries of somewhat similar type It has a red
flesh when fully ripe, and Is a good canner on
that account, as well as for Its firmness and su-
perior quality. It is wonderfully productive,
and the fruit Is large. The fruit stalks are ex-
ceedingly stout; but when borne down the ber-
ries do not lie and rot on the underside, like
some large sorts, before they are ripe enough to
pick. They are firm, and will bear handling
equal to the Gandy. It begins to ripen a long
time before the Gandy, but lasts about as long.
It is pre-eminently a variety for the home gar-
den, where highest quality Is desired with lots
of fruit for the amount of space.
Gandy. — (S) — This Is one of the leading late
varieties with fruit growers all over the coun-
try. The plant is a strong grower, fruit is
large and firm, but does not yield as heavy as
some; requires strong soil and fertilizers to do
its best. It always brings top prices; It Is
very late and a big showy berry.
liradywine. — (S) — This fine late strawberry
was introduced by M. Crawford. Is late, good
shape, good quality, gooa size, firm and pro-
ductive. If you are looking for a No. 1 can-
ning berry or for table use we would recom-
mend Brandywine. It is extra dark in color,
fine flavor, and Is an extra good home use and
canning berry, besides being a good shipper and
profitable market variety. Try them. We
have a good stock of extra fine plants.
Warfield (P). — Its greaty beauty, firmness
and earliness, good flavor, productiveness, and
vigor, makes it especially popular. Ripens
with Senator Dunlap, which makes a good fer-
tilizer to plant with it. as the shape and color
of the berries are the same, and look a great
deal alike when picked together.
Win. Belt. — A large, handsome, productive
berry for market or home use. Vigorous, thrif-
ty, heavy plants, producing large crops under
good common matted row culture. Berries ex-
tra large, conical, quite uniform In shape, bright
crimson red, ripens all over without green tips,
good quality, carries well to market, and brings
highest price. One of the best late varieties.
Making it one of the best perfect flowering va-
rieties to fertilize late pistillate varieties, such
as Sample and Bubach.
31yer»* Seedling. — Originated on B. I. Myers’
farm, on the banks of Lake Michigan, about
four miles north of Stevensville. I bought my
stock from the originator last spring. The
plant is a splendid grower. I have not fruit-
ed it on my farm but have seen it in fruit on
Myers' farm. He has grown it for several
seasons, shipping the berries to the Chicago
market, where they sold In advance prices
over all other varieties. It is a large size,
firm, bright red and very productive. It is a
good shipper and medium early. The plants
have made as strong a growth on my farm this
season as any variety I have. If it continues
to do as well as it has it will be a leading
market variety.

GRAPES
HKRE is scarcely a yard so small in the country or city that room for from one to a dozen grape vines cannot be
found. They do admirably, trained up the side of any building, or along the garden fences, occupying but little
room and furnishing an abundance of the healthiest of fruit. Make the soil mellow, and plant the vines some-
what deeper than they stood In the nursery. Plant about eight feet apart by the fence or building.
As a commercial crop there is nothing more satisfactory. They are as reliable as a corn crop, and as staple on
the market as wheat. When a vineyard Is once established it will be productive for a Ijfetime with ordinary care,
and the income therefrom can be counted on almost as certainly as the changing of the season.
Grapes do well on either gravelly, sandy or clayey soils, or on a combination of these. If planted on clay soil. It must be thor-
oughly underdrained to secure good results. Any good, dry soil of sufllcient fertility to produce good farm crops is suitable for
vineyard planting, if climate and exposure are favorable.
The only necessary preparation of the soil Is to thoroughly plow and pulverize it to a depth of 12 to 18* inches. If in sod It should
be summer-fallowed In August or September preceding planting, and again plowed
CONCORD.
at the time of planting. At this last plowing many of our best vineyardlsts plow
the ground into lands equal in width to the distance apart the rows are to be
planted, and plant the vines In the dead furrows. This saves a large amount of
labor in digging the holes.
If the soil is naturally poor it should be given a liberal application of
thoroughly rotted stable manure, which should be plowed in at the last
plowing. If this cannot be had, use raw bone meal, about
600 pounds per acre, with about 300* pounds muriate of pot-
ash. or two tons of good, unleached hard wood ashes. It is
not desirable to put manure or fertilizers of any kind
in the hole when planting. The roots will quickly
find their necessary food if It is in the soil.

Raspberries do well on any soil that will pro-
duce a good corn crop. Land should be thor-
oughly prepared and well enriched. Keep well
cultivated and free from weeds and suckers.
As soon as they have done bearing, cut out the

canes. Plant in rows 6 to 8 feet apart, and
3^ to 4 feet in rows for field culture.

height and single bushes have produced 2,694
berries. The original one-third acre has borne,
in five years, the enormous crop of 10,637 qts.
It has the longest fruiting season of any black-

Its greatest crop In August, and quantities In
September. It Is very attractive for market on
account of large size and excellent appearance.

Blackberry the past three years. We have had
no loss from winter killing, the crop each year
exceeding our expectations. The fruit Is supe-
rior to nearly all other varieties, large, glossy

summer blossoming, in richness and splendid
individuality, can be compared only to that
of the Magnolias.
Rhododendrons are most effective and most
easily cared for when planted in large beds or
groups, so that their flowers may be displayed
in rich masses. They wMll grow in any good
soil, but are finest in a somewhat sheltered sit-
uation where the soil is deep, well drained and
mulched w'ith leaves. In hot dry weather soak
the ground say about once a week. A protec-
tion of leaves and brush during the winter will
be beneficial.

way for bold display of color. Their flowers
arc very lasting; some of them are finely fin-
ished and splendidly colored. Plant in deep,
rich, well prepared soil, covering the buds but
an inch or two. Do not expect too much of

in establishing themselves.

Dwarf Pears
We have the Duchess d'An-

on the dwarf stock, which
two varieties do the best as
dwarfs. Dwarf pears are
grown on quince stock, and
come into bearing sooner than the standards.
Strict attention to them, and high cultivation
will result in a magnificent yield of fruit. The
size of the tree makc.s them valuable on ac-
count of the ease of collecting the fruit and
spraying.

The peach requires a well drained soil, a
warm sandy or gravelly loam is well suited to
preserve a healthy growth, and should be fertil-
ized and kept in cultivation. Ashes, potash,
and bone are excellent fertilizers, though the
tree will respond excellently to any fair dress-
ing material. Each year’s growth should be
shortened after the wood is ripe, to make the
tree stronger, better shape and more vigorous.
In trimming trees to plant use a sharp knife,
cut all briused roots off, making a clean cut.
Trim side limbs off three inches from tree; cut
tree off about three feet from the bud or ground
according to the height you like.

Cherries
GOV. WOOD.
Sweet Cherries
Sweet cherries are of rapid growth, with
large glossy leaves, forming fine pyramid shaped
heads, and producing large crops of luscious
sweet fruit. Sour cherries generally produce
acid fruit, and do not attain so large a size.
They are well adapted for dwarfs or pyramid.s.
Are hardier and better adapted for shipping to
market, we know of nothing in the fruit line
that has been giving or promises to give in the
future larger returns than cherry orchards.
Few markets are ever supplied.
First Class, % and up, 40 cts. each; $4.00 per
12; $20.00 per 100.
Select Medium, 35 cts. each; $3.00 per 12;

complete without them, and large quantities

apart in rich ground, cultivate well, or
mulch heavily; prune out old wood so that
each remaining shoot will have room to
grow. If the currant worm appears, dust
with hellebore.

half inch in diameter, bunches
short, vigorous and productive,
when grown on good soil and well
cultivated.
Fay’s Prolific. — The leading

quality, with much less acidity. Ripens
at same time, continues on bush much
longer, fully as prolific.
I.,ondon Market. — For many years this
variety has been fruiting in Michigan
where it is now planted extensively and
regarded as the best market variety of
that great fruit state. Plant is
extremely vigorous, with perfect
foliage which it retains through
the season; an enormous cropper.

both bunch and berry, a better
bearer. For any use— home gar-
den or market— one of the best.

and are freely produced. Com-
bines extreme hardiness, vigorous
growth, extra quality and great
productiveness.

White Grape, retaining the valuable
characteristics of both parents. Beau-
tiful bright red as large or larger
than Fays, holding its size to end of
bunch; easy to pick; a great bear-
er, superior to any other large sort;
less acid and of better quality than
any other large currant In cultivation.
Barge healthy foliage, intermediate in
growth between Faya and White Grape.
We have seen it in fruit in New York
State and fruited it on our farms here on
young bushes; it is all that has been
claimed for it.
Each, 25c; per 12. $2; per 100, $12.
Asparagus
No garden Is too small to have a bed of this
earlie.st and finest of spring vegetables. Pre-
pare ground by trenching to depth of two feet,
mixing each layer of soil as turned over with
two or three inches of well rotted manure. This
is ono of the most profitable crops to grow,
and one that is easily handled. A field well
planted will last a lifetime. Plant rows from
three to four feet apart. 12 to 15 inches apart
in a row. Do not cut for use until the plants
have grown two seasons.
Palmetto. — This Is a new sort, which is be-
coming quite popular. It produces shoots of
the very largest size. It is very early, which
makes it very valuable for market or home use.
C'oiiover’8 Colossal. — A standard variety of
large size, tender and of excellent quality.
2 years, 30 cents per 12; $1.00 per 100; $6.00
per 1,000.
1 year, 25 cents per 12; 75 cents per 100; $5.00
per 1,000.
Send for special prices in large lots of sev-
eral thousand.
Rhubarb
A deep, rich soil is indispensable to secure
large, heavy stalks. Plant in rows four feet
apart, with the plants three feet distant. Set
so that the crowns are an inch below the sur-
face. Top-dress annually in the fall with sta-
ble manure and fork under in the spring.
Queen. — Strong, vigorous grower, producing
extra large stalks of finest quality, of a de-
cided pink color. For canning or cooking In
any way, its quality is unsurpassed.
Myatt’s Binnaeiis. — Popular, and the best for
general use. Early, very large, productive, ten-
der. and delicately flavored. Requires less su-
gar than other sorts.

Strawberries
Strawberries will succeed in any soil that
Is adapted to ordinary farm garden crops; soil
should be thoroughly prepared to a good depth,
well drained and enriched. In field culture set
the rows from three to three and a half feet
apart, 15 to 18 inches in rows; for garden 15
inches apart each way, leaving pathway every
third row. To produce fine large fruit, heap in
hills, pinching runners off as soon as they ap-
pear. Ground should always be kept clean and
well cultivated. In winter, a covering of leaves,
stiaw. or some kind of litter, will protect the
plants. Do not cover them until ground is
frozen, or so deep as to smother the plants, and
remove covering before growth starts In spring.
Mulching will keep the fruit clean and the soil

in good condition through the fruiting season.
The blossoms of those marked with a (P) are
destitute of stamens, and are termed pistillate,
and unless a row of perfect flowering variety l.s
planted at intervals not exceeding a rod, they
will produce imperfect fruit, and but little of it,
but when properly fertilized, as a rule, they are
more prolific than those with perfect flowers.
Our stock is pure, each kind kept by itself, cul-
tivated entirely for the production of plants;
they are carefully graded, handled and packed,
and certainly give the best of satisfaction.
.\roimi. — 'This Is our best and most profitable
late strawberry. It cannot be beaten for quan-
tity of fruit produced, or in quality of fruit.
Plants show no weakness of any kind. Fruit
very large, roundish conical rarely mlshapen,
glossy red, of excellent quality, and produced
In abundance. Same season as Gandy.
IJeder — This variety was oiiginated
by Beder Wood of Illinois. We have fruited
it for many years, and found it to be a very
heavy bearer, of good size, roundish fruit.
Does well on nearly all soils. Season early, a
good staminate to fertilize early varieties like
Crescent. Warfield, etc. The plant is a good
healthy grower, and sends out a number of
large runners. Beder Wood Is very deep rooted
and will stand drouth better than most varieties.
Buba<di (I*). — By far more plants of this va-
riety are used than any other sort. Its large
and uniform size, fine form and color, unsur-
passed productiveness, and great vigor, com-
bine to make it the leading market sort. The
plant Is very large and fine looking, but a slow
plant maker.
Barton’s K<‘lipse (P). — A good standard sort,,
but has been overlooked by some; one of the
best for field crops, a splendid growler and a
heavy yielder, of large size, good color, and
highly flavored. Early to mid-season.
Norwood. — This is claimed by the Introducer
to be the largest strawberry, four berries filling
a quart. We have not seen the berry, but if
size of plants Is an Index to size of berry this
claim is all right as the plants are simply
enormous. These very large plants do not turn
out very fast and the supply is limited for this
year, but every one w'ants to see and try the
largest berry out, so here is your chance.
Originator. Mr. N. B. White’.s description
given out in 1908; “The Norwood strawberry
was named and given the first prize by the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society at the ex-
hibition of 1906. This straw'berry is supposed
to be a cross between the Marshall and Corsi-
can. as It came up where the Marshall had been
grown and near where the Corsican was grown
at the same time. The Norwood is believed to
be the best all around strawberry in existence.
The plant is strong and healthy, making a lib-
eral number of runners, but not excessive. The
berry is conic and regular in shape; not a cocks-
combed berry was found this season. The
quality is un.surpassed and the size unequalled,
some attaining the enormous size of three Inches
in diameter. Four such strawberries would fill
a box and be crowded. Color, bright red all
the way through, growing darker with age; is
firm, a good keeper, and will ship well. Has
a perfect blossom and holds its size well through
the season and remains in bearing a long time.
Picked the first box June 18th and the last one
July 18th. The largest berries were^ found In
matted rows or beds although the plants had re-
ceived no extra culture.” Plants of the Nor-
wood were sold in 1908 for $10 per dozen.
Pride of Michigan.— Bald win’s. Plants medium
in size. Perfectly healthy. Shows great vital-
ity and drouth resisting qualities, a good plant
maker, and has good strong fruit stems, hold-
ing fruit well up from the ground. Fruit med-
ium to large, of a dark, glossy red color.
Roundish, conical and regular In form, and of
good quality, reasonably firm and productive.
Time of ripening medium early. This Is a new
variety introduced by Mr. Baldwin, and we con-
sider it worthy of trial. We have taken up
nearly all of the plants to ship the past two
years and have fruited only a few plants which
make a splendid showing for fruit.
Clyde. — A strong growing, perfect blooming,
healthy plant, with light green foliage. Every-
where tested, it proved to be exceedingly pro-
ductive. large, globular, perfectly formed, al-
ways inclined to overbear. Some plants have
more fruit stalks than leaf stalks. A light ap-
plication of nitrate of soda, in early spring be-
fore fruiting will stimulate greater foliage
growth, and so help the fruiting of this remark-
able variety.
Crescent (P>.— A standard of productiveness
all over the country; succeeds every where.
Stands neglect best of any; plant small, berries
fair size, bright and attractive. Not very firm.
Many growers consider this the most profitable
berry for market.
(ilen Mary. — Berries large to very large, often
flattened, bright deep red on surface; light red
to center. Sweet, rich, good flavor. Season,
medium to late. One of the most productive
10
and holds its size well to the end of the sea-
son. Plants very vigorous, and one of the best
for home use and nearby market.
Ilrtverland (P). — A fine grower, very produc-
tive; one of the best of the leading early mar-
ket sorts. Perries uniform, long, medium size,
and good quality.
Pm*omoke. — The berry is round, conical, and
resembles the old Wilson, but is much larger,
and one of the best varieties in existence, not
only for Its enormous productiveness, but on
account of its beauty. Adapted to all soils.
Its large size, deep red color, firmness and high
flavor make it one of the most profitable ship-
per.s.
Senator Dunlap. — A well tested, wonderfully
productive variety, one of the safe sorts to
plant everywhere and sure to take a high place
among the prominent standard sorts, plant re-
sembles Warfield, rampant runner, should be
restricted in its production of plants: fully
equal to Crescent and Warfield in its ability to
succeed under all circumstances. Fruit good
size, regular form, beautiful bright red, glossy,
firm, splendid keeper and shipper, excellent
quality, one of the best for canning. Ripens
early, and continues a long time. It promises
to stand at the head In its wonderful ability
to ripen a good crop under almost any con-
dition of drouth or neglect.
Sample (P). — One of the very best berries,
and it seems to succeed nearly everywhere.
Plants strong, large and healthy, producing in
profusion large, dark colored berries, of uni-
form size and color. Firm enough to ship well,
one of the best standard sorts for home use
and market. Season, late.
Tennessee Prolific. — One of the good medium
early varieties. I.,arge size and productive. It
is a very vigorous healthy plant, with never
a spot of rust. It has a strong staminate blos-
som. and is especially valuable as a pollenizer.
I’nele .lini. — A new variety of much worth.
The Uncle Jim resembles the New York, Mar-
shall. and varieties of that class; but in quality,
firmness and productiveness It is head and
shoulders above them all. I'nlike many berries
of somewhat similar type it has a red flesh
when fully ripe, and Is a good canner on that
account, as well as for Its firmness and su-
perior quality. It is wonderfully productive,
and the fruit Is large. The fruit stalks are ex-
ceedingly stout; but when borne down the ber-
ries do not lie and rot on the underside, like
some large sorts, before they are ripe enough to
pick. They are firm, and will bear handling
equal to the Gandy. It begins to ripen a long
time before the Gandy, hut lasts about as long.
It is pre-eminently a variety for the home gar-
den. where highest quality is desired with lots
of fruit for the amount of space.
(iianily. — This Is one of the leading late vari-
eties with fruit growers all over the country.
The plant is a strong grower, fruit is large and
firm, but does not yield as heavy as some; re-
quires strong soil and fertilizers to do its best.
It always brings top prices; it is very late and a
big showy berry.
Brandywine. — This fine late strawberry was
Introduced by M. Crawford. Is late, good shape,
good quality, good size, firm and productive.
If you are looking for a No. 1 canning berry or
for table use we would recommend Brandywine.
It is extra dark in color, fine flavor, and Is an
extra good home use and canning berry, besides
l>eing a good shipper and profitable market va-
riety. Try them. We have a good stock of ex-
tra fine plants.
WuHIeld (P).— Its great beauty, firmness
and earliness, good flavor, productiveness, and
vigor, makes it especially popular. Ripens
with Senator Dunlap, which makes a good fer-
tilizer to plant with it, as the shape and color
of the berries are the same, and look a great
deal alike when picked together.
Wm. Belt. — A large, handsome, productive
berry for market or home use. Vigorous, thrifty,
heavy plants, producing large crops under good
common matted row culture. Rerrles extra
large, conical, quite uniform In shape, bright
<*rlmson red. ripens all over without green tips;
good (juality. carries well to market, and brings
highest price. One of the best late varieties.
Making it one of the best perfect flowering va-
rieties to fertilize late pistillate varieties, such
as Sample and Hubach.
Myers Seedling. — Originated on R. I. Myers’
farm south of Si. Joseph. Mich. The plant is
a good grower; berry is large size, productive
and one of the best shippers; medium early and
brings be.st prices on the market.

Grapes
HERli, is scarcely a yard so small In the country or city that room for from one to a dozen grape vines cannot be
found. They do admirably, trained up the side of any building, or along the garden fences, occupying but little
room and furnishing an abundance of the healthiest of fruit. Make the soil mellow, and plant the vines some-
what deeper than they stood in the nursery. Plant about eight feet apart by the fence or building.
As a commercial crop there is nothing more satisfactory. They are as reliable as a corn crop, and as staple on
the market as wheat. When a vineyard is once established it will be productive for a lifetime with ordinary care,
and the income therefrom can be counted on almost as certainly as the changing of the season.
Grapes do well on either gravelly, sandy or clayey soils, or on a combination of these. If planted oil clay soil, it must be thor-
oughly underdrained to secure good results. Any good, dry soil of sufllcient fertility to produce good farm crops is suitable for
vineyard planting, if climate and exposure are favorable.
The only necessary preparation of the soil is to thoroughly plow and pulverize it to a dei)th of 12 to IS Inches. If in sod it should
be summer-fallowed in August or September preceding planting, and again plowed
at the time of planting. At this last plowing many of our best vineyardsists plow
the ground into lands equal In width to the distance apai*t the rows are to be
planted, and plant the vines In the dead furrows. This saves a large amount of
labor in digging the holes.
If the soil is naturally poor it should be given a liberal application of
thoroughly rotted stable manure, which should be plowed in at the last
plowing. If this cannot b© bad, use raw bone meal, about
600 pounds per acre, with about 300 pounds muriate of pot-
ash. or two tons of good, unbleached hard wood ashes. It is
not desirable to put manure or fertilizers of any kind
in the hole when planting. The roots will quickly
find their necessary food if it is in the soil.
Concord. — The w'ell known standard variety. Suc-
ceeds wherever grapes Avill grow. Most popular va-
riety ever grown.
Niagara. — A white variety; bunch and berry very large, greenish white, chang-
ing to pale yellow when fully ripe. Skin thin, but to-igh. Quality very much like
Concord.
Worden.— .\n improved Concord, being larger in both bunch and berry, hand-
somer. nearly two weeks earlier, and of better quality; fine, vigorous, hardy and
productive.
Wyoming Red. — Vine very hard^', healthy and robust, with thick, leathery
foliage; color of berry similar to Delaware, but brighter; being one of the
most beautiful of the amber or red grapes, and in size nearly double that of
Delaware. B'lesh tender, sweet, with a strong native aroma. Ripens before Dela-
ware, the best early red market variety.
Campbell’s Kiirly. — Medium grower. Large healthy
foliage. Productive. Its keeping and shipping qual-
ities are equalled by no other early grape. Ripens
with Moore’s Early. Hunch and berry large, glossy,
black with blue bloom; sueet and juicy. Seeds few
and small. Part readily from the pulp. Stands at
the heftd of early grapes.
Champion. — (Tulman.) — ^\’ery early. Bunch and
berry good size, tldck skin, productive. Poor quality.
Profitable owing to their earliness.
Delaware. —Hunches small. compact, shouldered
Berries rather small, round, skin thin, light red.
Sweet, spicy and delicious. Vine moderately vigorous,
hardy and productive.
Diaiiiond. — ^The loading early white grape, ripening
before Moore's Early, white with rich yellow tinge,
juicy, few seeds. Almost free from pulp, excellent
CONCORD. quality, above medium size, adheres firmly to stem.
Vine like Concord In growth, hardiness and foliage.
Fine variety for both market and home garden.
Katoii. — A seedling of the Concord of exceptionally large size, both in bunch and
berry; showy and attractive; berries round, covered with heavy bloom.
Early Ohio. — Very early, hardy and productive, strong thrifty grower; excel-
lent shipping qualities. A profitable early market sort.
ilurtf<»rd. — Early black grape, ripens with Moore’s Early, good quality, large
bunches, strong, thrifty grower and very productive; free from rot and mildew;
if left on vines too long after they are ripe the berries are liable to fall from
the bunches; if handled properly are profitable market variety.
Moore’s Early. — A black grape, with a heavy blue bloom, bunch large, berry
round. Quality better than the Concord, vine exceedingly hardy, and has been ex-
posed to temperature of 20 degrees below zero withcAit Injury. It has been en-
tirely exempt from mildew or disease. Its earliness, good quality, and fine ap-
pearance make It a profitable market variety.

Blackberries
m^OWRRS.
Blowers*. — This is the most remarkable black-
berry of the ajte. A woman discovered it grow-
ing wild and It has been propagated by Mr.
Blowers until he now has nine acres in fruiting.
It is extremely vigorous and productive and
quite hardy. It has been grown 14 feet in
height and single bushes have produced 2.694
berries. The original one-third acre has borne,
in five years, the enormous crop of 10,637 quarts.
It has the longest fruiting season of any black-
berry. lasting from July to October, producing
its greatest crop in August, and quantities In
September. It is very attractive for market on
account of large size and excellent appearance.
From all I have been able to leain the variety
has never been winter killed.
Wo, oursehes. have fruited the Blowers
BlacKberry the past three year.s. We have had
no loso from winter killing, the crop each year
exceeding our expectations. The fruit is super-
ior to nearly all other varieties, large, glossy
black ber*'ies that make the finest appearance

fective In their way as Rhododendrons or Roses

DESCRIPTION
The Color is a beautiful bright red. Size as large or larger than the Fay, the clusters
averaging longer. The size of berry is well maintained to the end of the bunch. The Perfec-
tion has a long stem from point of attachment to the bush to the first berry, making it easy
to pick without crushing any of the berries.
Productiveness. The Perfection is a great bearer, resembling its parent the White Grape
in this respect, superior to the Fay or any other large sort with which we are acquainted.
The Season of Ripening is about the same as that of the Cherry or Fay.
Quality. Rich, mild, sub-acid, plenty of pulp with few seeds. Lees acid and of better
quality than any other large currant in cultivation. The W’hite Grape has always been con-
sidered one of the best varieties for table use, and the effect of this strain is ])lainly seen in
the very fine quality of Perfection.
Vigor and Healthfulness. In habit of growth it is intermediate between its parents Fay
and White Grape, with remarkably large healthy foliage.
