A large, beautiful, red apple, 
of fair quality. Tree of dwarf- 
ish habit, not often reaching 
over four feet at two years old. 
For this reason it seems well 
designed to be used as a filler. 

It fruits very early, not unfre- 
quently showing fruit on the 
trees in the nursery row at three 
years. 


Season, early winter. 


Mr. Albert Wood, a large 
apple grower in Orleans County, 
is planting it quite largely as a 
filler. Its large size, attractive 
appearance, and early fruiting 
habits, we believe, make it 
worthy of trial.

READ BEFORE YOU ORDER. 


PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS, 
TERMS, ETC., BEFORE MAKING YOUR ORDER, 
AND IT WILL SAVE MUCH CORRESPONDENCE 


YOUR NAME, POST-OFFICE AND STATE should be distinctly written, and be sure that 
neither is omitted. This may seem to many an unnecessary request, yet we receive many 
letters with either signature, post-ofice or state omitted. No matter if you write several 
times, always give full name and post-office address. 

TERMS, CASH WITH ORDER —Goods are sent by Express C. O. D., if desired, providing 
one-third of the amount is sent with order; but this is a somewhat more costly mode of 
remitting. We cannot ship C. O. D. by freight. 

HOW TO SEND MONEY—Remittances should be made by Post-Office or Express Money 
Orders or Bank Drafts at our risk. Remittances in any other way are entirely at the send- 
Su ee Post-office money orders for $10.00 and over preferred on Post-office at Auburn, 

SPECIAL TERMS—For the benefit of customers who wish to order early, but who do not 
care to spare all of the money when order is sent, would say—We will accept early 
orders accompanied by one-third cash, and reserye the stock for you. Balance to be 
sent us when stock is ordered shipped. 

GUARANTEE OF GENUINENESS—Only experienced and careful help will be used in put- 
ting up orders. And we sell our stock, believing it is true to name and of quality repre- 
sented with the express understanding and agreement that should any not prove true to 
name, we will replace the same on proper proof, without charge, or wil refund the mone 
paid for such stock, but are not liable at any time for damages other than above named. 
All orders are accepted by us with this understanding. 


ORDER EARLY 


WHY—We can only afford to give the discounts named below on the basis of early orders. 
You are more likely to get your order shipped just when you want it, if we receive it early. 

HOW TO ORDER—A\lways use our Order Sheet, bound in back of the Catalog. Be careful 
to fill out blank spaces at the top for shipping directions, ete. Write plainly. Be sure to 
sign your name and give post-office and state. Say whether by freight or express. When 
we choose mode of shipment we will route by our best judgment, but our Responsibility, 
so far as delivery goes, ends when goods are delivered in proper condition to forwarders, 
because then they are beyond our control. 

APPORTIONMENT AND RATES—At prices quoted % doz. at dozen rates, 50 at 100 rates 
and 500 at 1,000 rates. Long lists of one or two of a kind must be taken at single tree 
prices. 

EXPRESS RATES—On trees and plants are about one-fifth less than on general merchan- 
dise. It is usually best to have small orders sent by express. 

PREPAID FREIGHT—We can arrange with any of our customers to prepay their freight 
and in case you wish such arrangement made please advise us. 

SELECTION—Not unfrequently customers consider it a kindness for us to make a selection 
for them in case we are out of a given variety ordered; if you do not care to permit this, 
say so. This does not apply in any sense to commercial varieties, ordered in quantities 
for which we never make substitution. 

PRICES—Our prices will be found as low as stock of QUALITY and GRADES mentioned 
can be grown and packed. It is well to remember there is as much difference in the 
quality of nursery stock as in any other commodity. <A tree with an inferior, unhealthy 
growth, grown on soil not adapted to it, will be found poor property at any price. The 
prices herein annul previous quotations. 

SHIPPING ADVANTAGES—Being located on the N. Y. C. & H. R. R. R,, and at the 
northern terminus of a branch of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, gives us facilities for ship- 
ping our products surpassed by none. 

ERRORS—Our customers are requested to notify us instantly of any errors, so that we may 
at once make ample amends. In the absence of such notice we will understand there are 
no errors and therefore no cause for complaint. 


SPECIAL INDUCEMENTS ON CLUB ORDERS for Granges and kindred organizations. 

LARGE ORDERS—TIif large orders are wanted, send list of kinds for estimates. We can 
frequently do better on some varieties than others, as we are always “Long” on some 
kinds, and on such we will be glad to give you every advantage. 

REFERENCES—tThe hundreds of Fruiting Orchards of our stock all over the country. Ask 
for names of men who have them. Also any of the business men of our town, or Banking 
House of Wm. H. Seward & Co., Auburn, N. Y. 

DISCOUNTS—On all orders received prior to March 10th at catalog price a discount of 5 per 
cent. will be given when remittance for full amount is made. This discount is offered as 
an inducement to get your order booked before the rush of the packing season begins. 
Your orders can be handled with less confusion and we can assure you of better service 
on early orders. Discounts do not apply to collections. Neither do they apply after 
date above named. 

ALL AGREEMENTS and contracts are made subject to loss of crop by drouth floods, fire, 
insects, or other unavoidable causes.

INTRODUCTORY 


H 


After many years of hard work and careful observation, we have come to believe that 
two chief causes of so many short-lived, sickly and unfruitful trees are: 1st, A forced 
growth in the early life of the plant, and 2nd, the indiscriminate cutting of scions and 
buds from the young trees in the nursery row without any: knowledge of their constitu- 
tional vigor or fruiting qualities. 

Propagating from trees of known fruitful habits and Constitutional Vigor. This can- 
not be practiced altogether, but in many cases we follow this practice of cutting our 
buds from fruiting trees on our own grounds, and sometimes going many miles from 
home to secure buds from certain strains which have shown early fruiting habits. This 
is what we mean by well Guarded Parentage, called by'some “tree breeding.’ By this 
process we are more likely to get strong Constitutional qualities, and trees of early fruit- 
ing habits. The form and comeliness of a tree are good points, but should not be gained 
at the expense of destroying its constitution by too much nitrogen to push its growth. 
A tree or plant may be ruined by forcing its growth in early life. 


A Tree of weak constitution, from any cause whatever, is much more subject to at-- 


tack from insect-pests than a tree constitutionally strong. 

There is nothing that will so shock a tree as to stimulate it to an unnatural, forced 
growth up to the time of transplanting, and then remove it to a soil, the fertility of 
which is much weaker, causing the tree or plant to practically stand still a year or more, 
by which it receives a shock from which it is difficult to recover. 

After transplanting to the orchard where the tree is to remain, we advise fertilizers 
of such a character as the soil and tree may require, and applied at such times as not to 
produce growth late in the season, as the wood should be well ripened and hardened be- 
fore going into winter. ; 

Our stocks, upon which our different varieties are worked, are selected with the 
greatest care, looking to the hardiness and longevity of the tree. 


FUMIGATION 


All stock thoroughly fumigated with hydrocyanic acid gas unless otherwise ordered. 
Some who are quite determined not to go to this expense claim it is injurious to stock. 
The highest authorities in the United States, after most thorough tests, advocate this 
practice as the most effective way to rid trees and plants of the numerous insect pests to 
which they are subject. No orchardist of intelligence will plant trees unless they have 
been fumigated. It is safer for you to place your order with one who willingly fumi- 
gates, than to send it elsewhere. Our system of fumigation, together with careful State 
inspection, should make you feel safe in placing your order with us. See Certificate 
below.

CERTIFICATE OF INSPECTION OF NURSERY STOCK. 


This is to certify that the stock in the nursery of H. S. Wiley & Son of Cayuga, 
County of Cayuga, State of New York, was duly examined in compliance with the pro- 
visions of Section 83 of the Agricultural Law, and it was found to be apparently free 
from any contagious or infectious disease or diseases, or the San Jose scale or other 
dangerously injurious insect pest or pests. This certificate expires September 1, 1908. 

Dated, Albany, N. Y., Sept. 1, 1907. . Cc. A. WIETING, 

Commissioner of Agriculture. 


Old Customers. Nothing affords us more pleasure than to receive year after year 
orders from the same persons. While we are very anxious for new customers, the 
annual return of the old ones gives us much satisfaction; the fact of our retaining our 
customers so universally is a strong proof why you, who have never tried our stock, 
might do so to advantage. 

A Standing Advertisement. It has been truthfully said that a satisfied customer is a 
good advertisement. It would be easy to fill this catalogue with letters received during 
the past year similar to the following: “Mr. B., who planted an orchard of your trees 
last spring, is so well pleased with them that he assures me I can do no better than to 
write you for prices.” 

FREE. We have gotten up, at considerable expense, a pamphlet containing trans- 
planting and cultural directions for the different fruits. The same also contains minute 
directions for the destruction of all insect pests which prey upon the different fruits, 
together with directions for the use of the different sprays giving formulas and their 


. proper time of application. This pamphlet will be mailed free upon request with every 


order, and is worth to every fruit grower infinitely more than the paltry premium of a 
“few extra trees.” It will save you dollars. 


H. S. WILEY & SON, CAYUGA, N. Y. 


The following is a brief history of an orchard sold to Mr. Mann of Niagara County, 
N. Y., in the spring of 1898: 


WILLIS T. MANN 
EVERGREEN FRUIT FARMS 
Niagara County, N. Y. 


Mr. H. S. Wiley, Cayuga, N. Y.: 

Dear Mr. Wiley:—I am sure you will be interested in a report 
of the young orchard which 1 planted with your stock in 1898. I 
think you will remember that I bought 800 trees of 2-year medium, 
4 to 5-foot stock, and a year or two later 25 more, which IT used to 
complete the orchard. I selected stock of this kind because I 
wanted a low, stocky tree, and I believed I could get fruit sooner 
on a tree of this kind than I could on a larger tree that had perhaps 
been forced in the nursery. This orchard occupies nine acres, the 
trees having been planted on the filler system, 20 by 22 feet apart. 
The permanent trees being 40 by 44 feet apart. The orchard has 
always been tilled, the first three or four years with hoed crops, 
and since that without cropping. It has been sprayed in the usual 
manner of spraying apples, and it has had no chemical fertilizers 
and but little barn manures. We have done but very little pruning; 
cross branches have been removed and some of the center branches 
where very thick, but nearly all horizontal branches have been allowed to remain. This 
ne produced a very broad, low tree. Many of them are now twenty feet or more in 

iameter. 

It has produced so generously that it has attracted many visitors from various 
parts of the State, and I would have been very glad to have had you seen it during the 
past fall while in fruiting. Many individual trees produced two barrels or more of fruit. 
The following table will show the amount of product, and the value for each year:

One of the noticeable features of this orchard has been the size and color of the 
fruit as compared with the same varieties on old trees. While looking at some Ben Davis 
trees the past fall, one of the most prominent members of the International Apple Ship- 
pers Association said: “This is the first time that I ever saw Ben Davis growing in the 
State of New York equal in size and color to western Ben Davis.” 

I have been asked many times what this orchard is worth at the present time, but 
I am unable to answer. When the trees were set the land was worth not more than 
$75.00 per acre, but the sales for this past year alone were $237.00 per acre, and the trees 
are now in ideal condition for future production. Under these conditions it would be 
cifficult to place a proper valuation on the orchard, but it would certainly be a good 
investment at many times its original value. 

Very truly yours, 
W. T. MANN. 


Varieties: Ben Davis, R. I. Greening, Ribston Pippin, Hubbardston, York Imperial, 
Wealthy and Wagener. Some 70 trees of the Ben Davis have since been top worked 
with 20-ounce. Mr. Mann is one of the most practical orchardists in this State; his 
plantings cover about 100 acres. H. S. W.

Covering Years of Actual Fruitage. Does This Signify Anything ? 


Hall’s Corners, Jan. 18, 1907. 
Messrs. H. S. Wiley & Son: I believe your stock is in all respects reliable, and I 
am advising my orchard friends to that effect. I can also assure planters that whatever 
you say regarding your stock can be depended upon every time. 
T. B. WILSON, Vice-Pres., W. N. Y. Hort. Society. 


I believe all of my last spring’s planting, save one or two trees, lived, and all those 
formerly purchased bore last year and not a worthless peach among them. ; 
ALBERT TENNY, Essex Co., Mass. 


I had 1,600 baskets of peaches this year from your trees, every variety true to name. 
SAMUEL B. WHITE, Westchester Co., N. Y. 


You may say what you please about the 1,800 apple trees sold me some years ago. 
Tt is a fine orchard, of which I am proud, and all trees have proved true to name. 
W. M. Hart, Dutchess Co., N. Y. 


: Oswego, N. Y., Dec. 12, 1900. 
Mr. Wiley, Dear Sir: I have had great success with the Pear, Plum and Cherry 
orchards purchased from your nursery fourteen years ago. The trees have grown well, 
borne well, and were just the varieties bought. Very truly, D. D. LAWTON. 


Franklin Co., Me. 
_ Your trees have come true to name, and I have planted a good many of them, be- 
ginning some eighteen years ago. P. WHITTIER. 


Kennebec Co., Me. 
I began dealing with you some eighteen years ago. I have hundreds of your trees 
now in bearing, and the varieties always come right. Your trees are hardy, too, and do 
well here. T. G. JENNINGS. 


Pawnee Co,, Kan. 
Your trees have made a wonderful growth and all came into full bearing last year. 
Admired by all who see them. We took first premiium on three varieties of Plums and 
four varieties of Grapes at State Fair, fruit grown from your trees. We had three Beurre 
Clairgeau Pears grown on the Dwarf trees set last year, that weighed three and a quar- 
ter pounds. Varieties all came true to name. F. F. HANSBURY, 


Addison Co., Vt. 
Your stock which has come into fruiting is O. K. Wickson and Burbank fruited last 
year. My Clifton Park peach went through last winter all right. I have made a success 
with my Quinces. JOHN McL. STEVENS. 


From the Editor of the Maine Farmer. 


Many of our growers have purchased fruit trees of Mr. Wiley, and everyone con- 
firms the experience of the editor who has found his trees just as represented. It is a 
pleasure to do business with a man who backs up every promise, and the Farmer would 
advise all those wishing fruit trees to write to this reliable grower. 

DR. G. M. TWITCHELL. 

People have come many miles to look at my trees. Everyone pleased. Only lost 
one out of the five hundred. B. B. DOUGLAS, Sagadahoe Co., Me. 

Every tree and plant as fresh and moist as could be. Am well satisfied. 

: W. P. KEAYS, Johnson Co., Wyoming. 

Trees came in good condition; much larger than I expected. Thanks for extras.

FRUIT DEPARTMENT 


PROFITS IN FRUIT GROWING 


Twenty-five years ago the great cry was 
“you will overdo the business.” This same 
prediction has been made many times since, 
but largely by people who neglected to 
plant, or those who after planting failed to 
care for their orchards intelligently. Our 
improved facilities for disposing of our 
crops, and the enormous increase in popula- 
tion warrant us in saying that twenty years 
hence one of the best pieces of property a 
man can own will be a good apple orchard. 

With our present refrigerator service our 
fruits reach the cold Northwest, and by the 
same service our Apples and Pears find sale 


on the European markets, and are eagerly 
sought for; and the promise in the near 
future of much quicker time and cheaper 
transportation in reaching foreign markets, 
make prospects bright for better profits in 
the future. 

One of our customers in Kennebec Co., 
Me., Mr. J. M. Pike, who planted an orchard 
of our trees twenty years ago, has recently 
refused an offer of $5,000 for the five acres. 
This orchard was set twenty years ago; and 
Mr. Pike asserts that it has paid him four 
per cent. interest annually on $20,000 for the 
past four years.

THE FILLER SYSTEM 


The most modern method of planting Apple Orchards in Western New York, called 
the Filler System is indicated by the diagram following. The cross X represents the 
permanent tree of whatever variety selected, to be planted 40 or 50 feet apart each way 
as the planter may choose. 

‘The circle O represents the filler or early fruiting variety, as Duchess, Ben Davis, 
Wealthy (if of apple), or whatever variety may be considered by the planter most profit- 
able. Not unfrequently the planter chooses to fill with Peach or sometimes with Pear. 
If permanent trees are planted 40 feet each way it will readily be seen that when the 
orchard is completed the trees will stand 20 feet each way; this is called the Filler Sys- 
tem. In using this plan it is the purpose of the planter to cut out the fillers when, or 
before, they begin to crowd the permanent trees. The advantage is to use all the ground 
and secure as many crops of fruit from the filler as possible before they interfere with 
the permanent trees.

make it a general favorite. 


Bosc—A Pear that is more and more receiv- 
ing the attention that it deserves, and is 
one of the leading business Pears for New 
England. It is an ideal Pear, combining as 
it does good looks and size with the best 
of quality, equaling the Seckel in flavor, 
and is large to very large. The Bosc is 
usually grown by top working, for the 
simple reason that it is difficult to get a 
good formed tree if budded at the ground. 
September to October. Price, 50 cents.

tween Bartlett and the Chinese Sand Pear. 
The tree is a vigorous grower, an early

equalled for canning and is being planted 
heavy as a commercial variety. No, 1,

Apricots are a rich, delicious fruit, coming

like the peach in outward appearance, but 
like the plum in quality and texture. One of

season when there are no other large fruits.

CHERRIES 


There are few more desirable fruits than 
the Cherry. The trees thrive in any well 
drained location. The Duke and Morello, or 
acid varieties, are thoroughly hardy, while 
the Heart and Bigarreau, or sweet sorts, will 
successfully resist very cold weather, and 
may be grown in most places.

Prof. John Spencer, Cornell University 
(“Uncle John”), writes us: I cannot too 
strongly recommend the planting of the 
lighter grades of Cherries. The 500 Mont- 
morency you sold me several years ago have 
developed into one of the finest fruiting 
orchards I ever saw, and so quickly, too.

PEACHES 


The ease with which Peach trees may be 
cultivated, their comparative freedom from 
disease, the short period before they become 
productive, with the immense demand for 
- the fruit, and the facility with which it may 
be shipped to distant markets, make Peach- 


ELBERTA 


growing extremely profitable. To secure 
healthy, vigorous and fruitful trees the 
ground must be kept clean and mellow, and 
it should receive an occasional dressing of 
wood ashes. It should be remembered that 
Peaches are all borne on wood of the previ- 
ous season’s growth, and that this makes it 
absolutely necessary to prune the tree year- 
ly, to remove dead branches, to let in light 
and air, and to keep the trees in good shape 
to produce bearing wood.

than the old strain of peach trees. One of 


the seedlings, No. 3, proved decidedly the 
best; 


has been fruited in Iowa several 


years and found the hardiest and best 
peach known there. It is highly recom-

NIAGARA PEACH. 
(See Cut.) 


A new variety which is gaining a great 
reputation in Niagara County, where it is 
said to have originated. Peach growers in 
that county are planting largely of it. I at- 
tended to cutting our buds for this stock 
personally, at Mr. Woodward’s orchard of 
this variety, near Lockport, N. Y. The fruit 
is very large, of fine quality and handsome 
appearance, a little later than Early Craw- 
ford, of which it is said to be a seedling. 
Tree has a remarkably healthy appearance, 
and is said not to show any defect in foliage. 
Freestone, color yellow, with fine red cheek.

PLUMS 


On a strong clay soil the Plum grows 
most thriftily, and suffers least from “cur- 
culio” and “black-knot.” By giving a little 
extra care there is no difficulty in protecting 
the crop of Plums from attacks of curculio. 
Immediately after the trees have blossomed, j 
and when the fruit is in its first stages of ¢ 
growth, make the ground clean and smooth 
under each tree, and spread a sheet upon it, 
so that it will extend as far as the outside 
edge of the outer branches; then suddenly ¥ 
jar the tree, so as to shake down all the aye 
stung fruit and insects, which should be de- 
stroyed. If this operation be carried or 
daily for a short time, it will insure a ful: % 
crop of delicious Plums, and will repay the é 
little daily attention given. It is very im- 
portant that this should be done early in 


‘

JAPAN PLUMS. 


The introduction of the Japan 
varieties of Plums has placed be- 
fore us a class of fruits that are in 
many respects very desirable, and 
in many localities they are fast sup- 
planting the old European kinds. 
They are extremely hardy and im- 
mensely productive, and come into 
fruiting usually the second year 
after transplanting. If you want fy 
fruit quick and plenty of it order ‘ 
the Japan varieties. For orchard 
planting the selected one-year trees 
are preferable.

choice of all the new plums which I have 
tested. It is a cross between Wickson and 
Satsuma; large, being over two inches in 
diameter, and nearly round in shape. The 
surface is smooth, dark wine-red or garnet, 
and very handsome. The flesh is garnet 
color, too, and rich looking. In flavor it is 
excellent.” 


His

H. S. WILEY & SON, CAYUGA, N. Y. 17 


MULBERRIES 


New American—Equal to Downing in all 
respects, and a much hardier tree. Vigor- 
ous grower; very productive; the best vari- 
ety for fruit. 

Downing’s Everbearing—Very large, black, 
handsome, sweet, rich and excellent. 
Strong one-year stems, 5 to 6 feet; price, 

75 cents each. 


PLANT YOUNG TREES 


We strongly recommend our customers to buy 
yonne trees, especially for orchard planting. They 
cost less, can be taken up with more perfect roots 
are much more likely to live, will become establishe 
sooner, and can_also be more easily trained to any 
desired shape. The most successful planters invaria- 
bly select young, thrifty trees.

RULE—Multiply the distance in feet between the rows by the distance the plants are apart in the rows, 
and the product will be the number of square feet for each plant or hill. The number of feet in an acre 
(43,560) divided by this, gives the number of plants or trees to the acre.

flowered sorts planted every third or fourth 
row to fertilize the blossoms. If only one 
kind is wanted, choose a perfect flowering 
sort.

CLEMATIS 


None among hardy perennials exceed in 
beauty and effectiveness the finer sorts of 
Clematis. As a climber for the veranda, a 
screen for fences, for pillars along the gar- 
den walks, for training on walls or arbors, 
in masses on rockwork, or cultivation in 
pots, it has no rival among strong-growing 
blossoming plants. The leading and best 
varieties are Jackmanni, Henryii, Mme. 
Edouard Andre, Paniculata and Ramona. 


Clematis, Large Flowering—2-year field 
grown. Price, 50 cents each. See cover. 


Henryii—This is the finest of all white 
Clematis, and should find a place in 
every collection. It is not only a vigor- 
ous grower, it is a remarkably free and 
continuous bloomer, beginning with the 
earliest and holding on with the latest. 
June to October. 


Jackmanni—This is, perhaps, the best 
known of the fine perpetual Clematis, 
and should have credit for the great 
popularity now attending this family of 
beautiful climbers. The plant is free in 
its form of growth and an abundant and 
successful bloomer, producing flowers 
until frozen up. The flowers large, of 
an intense violet purple, remarkable for 
its velvety richness. The Jackmanni 
has no superior and very iss if any, 
equals. July. to October. 


Madame Edouard Andre—First seen in 
this country at the World’s Fair at Chi- 
cago; flowers large, abundant and of a 
beautiful reddish color. Beyond doubt 
the finest of its class. 5

of the Jackmanni type; one of the 
strongest growers; flowers lavender 
blue, similar to the Gem.

most concealing the foliage. Entirely 
free from blight, and regarded as a great 
acquisition,
