Not in a spirit of egotism; but rather to show to the people that our
Nurseries are not of the catch-penny class, we give the following facts :
Several years ago we recognized the fact that the fruit belt of Delaware
and Maryland Peninsula was moving South, and we concluded to antici-
pate the business and move accordingly. After a close scrutiny of all
conditions necessary for a successful nursery, we selected a tract of land
near Snow Hill, Md., which we think, is especially adapted to the busi-
ness. The farm contains one thousand and twenty acres, which we have
improved by large barns, stables, storage barracks and other buildings.
The nursery stock now occupies one hundred and eighty acres, and the
orchards and small fruits embrace three hudnred acres more—the balance
is used for farming and wood land.

‘This being a new country for fruit trees, and our methods of culture
and experience being from the older sections, our stock cannot. fail to
please the orchard growers. ,

The proprietors of this establishment being engaged in cultivating
choice fruits for the market, their main object is to propogate principally
those kind of trees and plants that experience has proven to be the most
profitable for general cultivation, having regard to the quantity and quality
of fruit produced. Our personal attention is given to the grafting and
inoculation of trees ; and to insure certainty of the kinds, scions are taken
from bearing trees only. :

In this selection we are governed by the opinions of the most emi-
nent writers on the culture of fruit in America, of the most experienced
practical fruit growers in all parts of the country, and the recommenda-
tions of the AMERICAN POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

We shall continue to propagate a large stock particularly adapted to
the South.

Purchasers are respectfully informed that our prices for this season
are as published in the following list.

Our trees will be found to be more than usually good, and every care
will be taken to insure to each of our customers perfect satisfaction.

Terms, CASH on delivery of trees, or approved acceptance from un-
known parties. ,

As all trees receive injuries, greater or less, in the transportation, it
is the intention of the proprietors, unless otherwise ordered, that all trees
shall be well packed, for which a small charge, sufficient to cover the ex-
pense, will be made.

The freight is to be borne by the purchaser, after the trees are deliv-
ered at our station.

Parties interested in or wishing to purchase trees, are invited to ex-
amine our stock.

All articles, after leaving our hands in good condition, are entirely at
the risk of the purchaser, and no complaints allowed unless made within
ten days after the receipt of plants.

All orders by mail will receive prompt attention.

FRUIT DEPARTMENT.

APPLES.

The apple is the most popular and most valuable of all hardy fruits.
Its value on the farm can hardly be over-estimated, and when due atten-
tion is paid to the selection of kinds suited to location, having in view
kinds suited to the markets you intend them for, it may be justly classed
among the best for market value. It will flourish and produce well in
almost any soil or situation where other crops will grow. Thorough cul-
ure, with free use of lime and potash, desirable.

The list of apples described under the head of Southern or long-
keeping apples can hardly be over-estimated in value, in all sections
where long-keeping apples are desirable, as in Maryland and Delaware,
andin all sections south ofltere. Our country is full of large orchards
which are planted to be mostly winter apples. East and West the same
varieties are winter apples, but here they are all autumn apples; for ex-

- ample, the Baldwin is ripe here and all off on the ground from August

roth te September Ist, and can rarely be kept until Christmas, and our
towns and villages are dependent on the East and West for their winter
apples, when oursoil and climate are suitable, and we could grow our
own winter apples and make their culture profitable by planting proper °
kinds. I will here say to the planters of Maryland and Delaware, and
many other sections South, we have planted already too many of the so-
called winter apples, as they allripen in the Fall, at a time when the
markets are glutted, and they rarely bring enough to pay the freight on
them, where the long-keeping apples would pay from $100 to $300 per

4
acre. Fora time we should not plant the autumn apples for market ;
plant only the very earliest, good, market kinds, and long-keeping apples
for market value South.

ebruary to April.

Newtown Pippin—One of the most celebrated of American apples
on account of its long-keeping and excellent qualities, and the high price

A SELECT LIST OF POPULAR SOUTHERN OR LONG
KEEPING APPLES.

s list should be P lasttee more’extensively in Maryland and Dela-
ware than the Western scandea a where parties expect to vet a wiater or good
keeping apple for home or no ee aud for thesupriy of tie iccal towns
and villages;-where. -thous ands.of biisheis of them: would be co:

wouid be consunied an-

villages in Maryland and Delaware have no apples unless the merchants
buy and bring in Western apples. This would not be the case if farmers
would pay proper attention to varieties, and buy their fruit of responsible

on
Holladay—aA uew Virginia apple; yellow and good. February.

V Lawver. (New; origin, Platte County, Mo.)—Large, roundish
flat, mild sub-acid, very heavy and hard, beautiful dark red, the hand-
somest of all the extra late keepers ; very valuable as a late market sort.
Tree a vigorous, good grower, very hardy and bears well. This variety is
to-day the most promising late market apple before the public. January

- to June.

Mann Apple—Fruit medium to large; skin deepyellow, often with
a shade of brownish red; flesh yellow, tender, pleasant, mild, sub-acid ;
good to very good. Ripe January to April in New York State; keeps
until July ; desirable apple South, or where long-keepers are desirable.

V Nero—A very beautiful winter apple. Tree a good grower and pro-
fuse bearer. Extremely popular in New Jersey, where it is sought after
and planted largely. Prized for its good size, fine appearance and remark-
able keeping quality. I should say this apple was a seedling of the Cart-
house, retaining all the good qualities of its parent, but much larger in
size. No orchard in Maryland, Delaware, or the South can afford to be
without this apple, where a long-keeper and a good and beautiful apple is

desirable.

Rawle’s Jenneting—A Virginia apple of very good quality. This
variety is noted for its peculiar habit of blooming later in the spring than
others, often furnishing a full crop when other varieties have been de-
stroyed by frost. Hence the synonym of Never-Fail, by which it is gen-
erally known in this region. Medium size, striped with dull red, and keeps
remarkably well.

‘“y Limber Twig—A well-known Southern apple. About medium
size ; color dull, purplish red ; flavor sub-acid, rich, aromatic ; tree thrifty
nd very productive.

spring; a rapid grower and prodigious bearer. This variety is well de-
serving of extensive cultivation.

8

aromatic flavor; a good bearer and keeps well. April.

'Y Carthouse—A handsome fruit from Virginia; a good table fruit
from February to May. A very hardy, vigorous and fruitful tree; skin
very smooth and handsome, richly streaked with red and yellow; flesh
yellow, firm, juicy and rich, tender and sprightly in spring; keeps until
May.

\y Shockley—Medium, conical, always regular; yellow, with a bright
crimson cheek ; flesh firm, sweet or sub-acid flavor. Tree very erect,
vigorous, exceedingly productive ; ripens in October, and has been kept
until the following August. Although this apple cannot be classed as
first quality, it produces large and regular crops, the fruit is uniformly of
fine size, beautiful appearance, and the trees bear very young.

V Stark—Large, greenish yellow, splashed all over with light and dark
red. Its large size, fine appearance and fine keeping qualities make it
valuable for Southern planting, or where long keepers are desirable.

long-keeping varieties, keeping in ordinary cellar until July and August,
and the next season after produced. It is an accidental seedling found
on the farm of Benjamin Gibbs, near Middletown, Kent Co., Del.

~~ Lankford Seedling Apple—A seedling of great promise. Origi-
nal tree now growing in the lot of a colored man, on Lankford Bay,
Kent County, Maryland. Apple of large size, red and striped, and for
Southern culture possesses more good qualities than any apple that I am
acquainted with. Tree hardy and a good grower; bears annual crops;
fruit of excellent quality ; and its superior keeping qualities recommend
it to all. Keeping until May and June with ordinary treatment, where
the “‘Baldwin’”’ raised in the same section will not keep longer than
Christmas. No farmer or fruit grower should be without this apple.

Vv Brooks’ Pippin—Large, yellow, showy, juicy, rich and excellent ;
.vigorous and productive. November to May.

Delaware Red Winter—Large size, bright red color, handsome,

feet. These are the most suitable size for safe transportation and planting.

Plant standards not less than twenty feet. Dwarfs will do as well at
eight to ten feet, and may be advantageously used to occupy the spaces
between the standards. They have the further recommendation of being
earlier than standards.

PEACHES.

Peach Trees a Specialty.

To our patrons and all fruit growers. In issuing this, our twenty-
seventh annualicatalogue, we offer a list of new and well tested varieties
of peaches, from the earliest to the very latest kinds, all of which have
been well and fairly tested, except where noted otherwise in this descrip-
tion. We feel assured that the very early and the very late kinds we
now offer, for years to come must be the most profitable market varieties
to plant.

* Briggs’ Red May, High’s Early Canada, Honneywell and a number
of others, all extra early, have been more or less fruited in all sections
where peaches do well; and we find, so far, the Early Alexander, Ams-
den’s and Waterloo are doing the best in most sections. There is still a
large list of Extra Early kinds yet on trial, and in a few years we may

II

be able to select a few of the very best, and discard the others, among
the extra early sorts.

Among the extra late we still recommend Christiana, Brandywine,
Wilkins’ or Ringold Cling, Silver Medal, Bilyeu’s Late October, Geary’s
Hold-on, Shipley’s Late Red, Newington Cling, and Salway.

Most of the above ripen at a time when we have no large fine peaches.

Soil and Exposure.
Almost any soil that will grow good corn crops will grow good
peaches.

Manures.

Stable manure always good ; bone is good; and wood ashes or potash
in some form should be used for peach trees; in no case put manure in
the holes with the roots when planting.

Age of Trees.

Plant no trees more than one year from bud. We find our June
budded trees which have made their growth in four months from bnd-
ding, greatly preferable to the year old trees, always making larger trees
at three years old in the orchard than the one-year-old tree,

We will be pleased to advise and recommend a proper list for any
location, as we give several kinds in one ripening, when one, or not
more than two varieties ripening at the same time is desirable in most
cases.

Planting.

Plant twenty feet apart each way. Plough and prepare the ground
as you would for other crops ; mark out shallow one way, the second way
use a large plow with a pair of good horses, and plow as deep as possi-
ble, running at least twice in each furrow. This saves digging holes
with a spade and saves much labor in planting. Puddle roots oftrees, or
dip them in thick mud before dropping the trees at their proper places.
Have a boy to hold the trees up in the center of each crossing, and no
time need be lost in running backward and forword in sighting the tree,
which consumes much time to no puspose. After planting plough to
the trees.

After the trees are set out, trim off all branches and cut back the
main stem to within 2% to 3 feet of the ground. Trimming and cutting
back should be done in the spring, even when planting is done in;the
fall. And when the new shoots push out, we pass over the orchard and
rub off all the sprouts except what are wanted to make a well-balanced
head, being careful not to let two sprouts start opposite each other, so as
to avoid forked trees, as heavy weight of foliage and fruit causes them to
split and ruin the tree. We plant corn among them for three summers ;
this insures good culture and gives you trees of good growth, with capaci-
ty to produce good crops the third and fourth years from planting. To
secure good crops and good fruit, the orchard must be cultivated well
each year to keep up good growth on the trees, as this year’s growth of
wood produces the fruit next year.

Cultivate each year and never sow orchards in grain or grass; plough
shallow in spring and cultivate during summer. The wash we recom-

12

mend, if applied annually, will keep the borer away. Two-thirds of the
diseases and premature loss of peach trees are caused by the borer.

The selection of varieties has been made with special reference to
the quality of the fruit, combined with the greatest hardiness of the tree;
and the market value of the fruit ; those varieties showing a tendency to
an early decline having been rejected from the list, and those which have
succeeded best and lasted longest grown in large quantities.

We have been at considerable pains to have a selection of those va-
rieties which have proved the most profiable to those growing fruit for
market, and-intend adding hereafter such as, on trial, prove to be espeei-
ally adapted for that purpose.

We have many years made the peach a specialty. We hope still to
excel in that particular branch, while we shall keep a full stock of every-
thing usually found in a firsr-class nursery.

Plant 16 to 20 feet, according to quality of soil; give more room in
good soil, always.

JUNE BUDDED PEACH TREES.

The June budded tree is a beautiful clean grown tree, particularly well
rooted, taken up with all the roots and fibre, and in all cases, where tested,
has proved superior to the tree grown in the ordinary way. They are peculi-
arly adapted fer long carriage, via, mail or express.

By this principle of propagating, we have accomplished in one season what
by the old process, requires two years to accomplish. The younger the tree
attains a medium or first-class size, with matured wood and good fibrous roots
the better. Trees standing in the nursery along time become stunted, and
do not retain their natural vigor. Large, overgrown trees, void of the requis-
ite qualities, are unprofitable on account of high freights; and, for their gen-
eral worth when set in orchards, young, stocky trees of fair size, well set with
buds to form a properly balanced head, are always preferable.

They are grown or propagated on an entire new principle ; theseed planted,
the seedling grown and budded, then cut back and the bud started and grown
to a good, healthy, clean tree, well headed and wood well ripened, the trees
from 1% to 2% feet, strong and stocky, and are always taken up with tap roots
and other roots. All perfect trees grown and ready for the planter in seven
months, while it takes two years to grow a tree on the old principle. We
claim the Jund budded tree, although small when set out, to be hardier, longer-
lived, and more productive than the trees that are propagated in the old way.
In removing older and larger trees from the nursery, the tap roots are always
cut off from five to eight inches below the surface. This facilitates digging
and planting, but it changes the future character of tke tree. Now nature in-
tended the Pear, Apple, Cherry and the Peach should grow with tap roots, so
all would grow if the seed were planted and the seedling grafted or budded
and let grow where the seedling comes up. But when vou cut the taps off of
a two or three year old tree they rarely tap again, but throw out lateral or sur-
face roots, changing the whole character of the roots and tree. The peach tree
becomes less hardy, more readily affected by drought, heat and cold. For
twenty-five years in the great peach belt on the Delaware and Chesapeake
Peninsula, we have had peach growers ask why it was that when our choice
varieties of peaches came up from seed, true to name, such as Troth, Early
York, Old Mixon, Crawford’s Early, Late, etc., why these trees that come up
in this way and are allowed to grow and bear where they come up, are so much

13

hardier, longer-lived, living and bearing fruit in many cases as long again as
the large trees transplanted from the nurseries, bearing fruit when the trans
planted orchards bear nothing. A long and careful observation has led us to
know this to be the case, and we are fully satisfied from careful observation
that cutting the the top root and changing roots all to surface roots is the cause
of this wonderful difference, We claim this holds good in regard to the stan-
dard pears and apples. Also we claim for the June Budded Peach as stated
above, it is hardier, longer-lived, and will bear fruit when trees propagated on
the old plan will not bear, all owing to the fact that the tree is procured from
seed in a few months, and when taken up, the tap roots and all other roots are
taken up whole and perfect, and planted out again with tap and all roots per-
fect, and when it grows to be a large bearing tree, the tap roots are with it
perfect as nature intended it should be. Again, the June budded trees, as a
rule, when all else is equal, will be larger trees and have more fruiting capaci-
ty at a bearing age, say three or four years, than the old style of trees planted
without tap roots. We could say as much in regard to apples—but one thing
at a time.

It is hard to change old customs and usages. Again, our fruit growers
will come to know that the cheap, or much-for-your-money principle will not
continue to hold good as fruits become more plentiful and cheaper in our mar-
kets. In 1875, the year of the great glut crop on the peninsula, the man who
started right, and kept right, made from $75 to $125 per acre, while thousands
all around these few successful men sent their fruit to market, and the poor
quality of the fruit to start with, and the slovenly manner in which it was put
on the market,the first few shipments brought the owner in debt,and in thous
ands of cases they abandoned their crops and allowed their peaches to rot in
their orchards. To be successful now, select only the very best kinds suited
to the market you intend them for. Plant no more trees than you can attend
to and grow properly, and gather and handle the fruit in a proper manner
while ripening, for poor varieties of fruit or good varieties badly grown and
badly handled, will not pay any longer. Even when our markets are full, good
fruit will always command fair prices. We have in some cases sent as many
as one thousand June budded peach trees at a time to one planter four thous-
and miles by mail, and to hand in good order. This is a great advantage to
parties not living near railroads or express offices.

The late Col. E. Wilkins, of Kent Co., Md., one of the largest peach grow-
ers in this country, if not in the world, who has planted largely for several
years of the June budded trees, and who has twenty thousand or more of trees
propagated in this way, says that they are much superior to trees planted by
the side of those grown in the ordinary way ; and that he would plant the June
budded tree if he had to pay $30 to $50 per thousand more for them than the
same kind propagated in the old way.

THE EVAPORATOR.

Since we haye commenced to evaporate the soft or over-ripe fruit, and the
cull or small sized, and the poorer varieties of the peach, it has saved an im-
miense quantity of fruit that was formerly wasted, thereby saving large amounts
of money to the growers of our country that was formerly lost or wasted. The
eyaporators now in use are mostly patented, or claim to be, and sold at very
high prices. We want cheaper machines and those with more capacity. - We
find where three hundred baskets in twenty-four hours are claimed, that the
growers can only turn out in twenty-four hours aboul two-hundred baskets.

We know many personally who are evaporating, and they say they clear
more money on the poor cull fruit eyaporated, than they do on the yery best ©

14
fruit they ship. and there are orchards now being planted with a view ofevap-
orating only, the supply of good evaporated fruit not being half equal to the
demand. Now if each large grower had one or more evaporators, there would
be no breaking down of the market in seasons of full crops.

The difference alone in freight charges between green fruit and the evap-
orated would be an immense profit to laige growers.

The following rotation for ripening holds good in all sections. Keep in
mind that young, thrifty, well cultivated trees will ripen later than old, neg-
lected trees.

We will name here a list of varieties for a good rotating orchard, in order
as they ripen, In this list you are picking and shipping fruit each day, from
time you start until season is over. Some seasons two or three varieties may
crowd each other, or ripen or lap close on each other. Those we name are all
well tested iron-clad varieties, doing well, as a rule, in all sections, where par-
ties plant largely and wish to ship a car load, 500 baskets each day, they should
plant about 500 trees of each variety. The following lists can be varied to suit
location or the fancy of the planter.

FIRST RIPENING.

In this, the first ripening, we have a long list, all claiming to be
from eight days to three weeks earlier than Hale’s Early,—all sufficient
well tested to show that what is claimed for them in regard to time of
ripening is correct.

arly Alexander—This peach originated in Logan County, Illi-
nois, and put on the market by Messrs. J. Capp & Son. Of large size,
good color and quality, and ripening two weeks before the Hale’s Early.
We have fruited this peach for years, and find it tocome up to all that is
Bike for it. One ofthe best extra early kinds.

Amsden’s June—A new variety originated on the farm of Mr. L,
C. Amsden, and possessing a combination of valuable points unequalled,
we think, in any other fruit. Itis large, beautiful and excellent, and

T5

more fragrant than any other peach known. Ripens two weeks before
Hale’s Early, For years it has been fruited extensively in all sections
of our country where the peach will thrive. The Early Alexander and
Amsden’s June resemble each other closely in all particulars, and both
are good.

‘’ Waterloo—Medium to Large. Whitish green in shade, red or dark
crimson in the sun; a peach of great promise and said to ripen before
Amsden June or Early Alexander.

SECOND RIPENING.

Vaale’s HKariy—Well known; claimant for extra early honors and
no doubt the parent of many new claimants for that position; medium
size, red with high color when exposed, good bearer but not reliable for
profit.

>

\, ‘THIRD RIPENING.

arly Rivers—Large ; pale straw color, with a delicate pink cheek;
flesh melting, with a rich racy flavor, Ripens four days earlier than
Hale’s Early. Seedling of Thomas Rivers ; description his.

FOURTH RIPENING.

“Lady Ingold—Origin, Guilford County, N. C., claimed to be large,
highly colored and resembling the Early Crarwford in size and general
appearance ; freestone ; ripens immediately after Hale’s Early.

sd Troth’s Early Red—Has been largely planted. It is necessary to
a regular succession, and being a good shipping fruit for an early variety
must retain an important place.

* Reed’s Golden Yellow—Strong, erect growing tree ; fruit of me-
dium size, color bright yellow, quality fair, skin tender; ripens with the
Troth’s Early.

* Mountain Rose—It excels Troth’s Early Red in size and quality ;
it will certainly take the place of that* variety in standard lists. Ripens
with Troth or right after. One of our best sorts.

¥ Fleitas, or Yellow St. John—Large, roundish, orange-yellow,
with a deep red cheek ; juicy, sweet and high flavored; flesh yellow; ri-

peus with Early Tillotson and lasts longer. Origin, New Orleans. Iden-
tical with May Beauty of Louisiana.

FIFTH RIPENING.

¥ Large Harly York—tThe very best ofits season. Quite distinct
from the Early York ofthe books; sometimes designated a “‘true’’ or
“‘serate’’ Early York, which is not at all desirable as a market fruit. It
is identical with Honest John, of New Jersey, and scarcely, if at all, dis-
tinct trom George the Fourth, Walter’s Early, Livingston, New York
Rareripe, and Early Rareripe of some.

SIXTH RIPENING.

y Foster—Considered one of the very best peachesof American origin;
was originated near Boston. Yellow freestone; it is a very large, round
peach, fully as large as Crawford’s Early, and of much better quality; ths

16

fruit running uniform in size. Ripens with Early York or a few days be
fore Crawford’s Early.

SEVENTH RIPENING.

“Crawford’s Early—A magnificent, yellow-fleshed,” American
Seedling Peach. The trees are moderate growers and very productive ;
fruit of large size and highly colored. Ripens at the right time to fill a
season between Large Early York and Old Mixon Free. The true old-
fashioned Crawford’s Early has become almost extinct, and we find no
true Crawford’s Early in our orchards, but instead, a small, dark red,
yellow flesh Melocton that has been propagated and planted extensively
for Crawford’s Early, erroneously. The true Crawford’s Early is a valu-
able market peach, which we have, true.

Vv Conkling—Originated in New York State; medium to large, yellow,
freestone, ripens near the Early Crawford.

EIGHTH RIPENING.

Reeve’s Favorite—Fruit large, roundish, inclining to oval, with
a swollen cheek ; skin yellow, with a fine red cheek; flesh deep yellow,
red at the stone, juicy, melting with a good, vinous flavor. Freestone.
Fruit sells at a high price. One of the very best peaches. Has not its
equal for fine quality or market value. Should be in every orchard and
garden.
Wilkins’ Harly—Origin Kent County, Md., color bright yellow,
free stone, uniform in size and heavy bearer.
NINTH RIPENING.
. Moore’s Favorite—It is somewhat similar in appearance to Old
Mixon ; ripens two or three days earlier. Fruit much larger. Not so free
a bearer as Old Mixon. One of the finest peaches ofits time of ripening.

‘}

Old Mixon Free—This variety has all the qualities of a superior
market peach, and in a gre@ter degree than any other peach. It excels,
particularly, in the necessary qualities for shipping. Uniformly large
size, sprightly flavor, bright; handsome color. Freestone. White flesh,
with beautiful blush.

\ Stevens’ Rareripe—Large, white flesh with red cheek, fine flavor
and quality, freestone; resembles the Old Mixon Free.

\ Thurber—A new variety, which originated with Mr. Berckmans, of
Georgia. It is said to carry well and is of goodsizeand fine flavor. Fruit
large ; freestone; flesh white, mottled with pale red and carmine.

'V Red Cheek Melocoton—Large, roundish oval with swollen point
yellow with red cheek, flesh deep yellow, red at the seed, freestone; ripens
slightly in advance of the Crawford’s Late.

W heatland—Free ; averages very large ; productive ; tree stout and
steady grower. The showy appearance of the fruit makes it a valuable
market sort.

* Lemon Cling—lLarge, lemon shaped, flesh firm, rich and vinous.

TENTH RIPENING.

\ Magnum Bonum—Large, yellow freestone, ripens near the Late:
Crawford.

.? La
¥
Beers’ Late—A seedling of Crawford’s Late, with which it ripens
and from which it differs only in being smaller and a more regular and
bundant bearer.

Hill’s Chili—Origin, Monroe County, N. Y., fruit small, yellow,
downy, very productive but inferior ; does wellin some sections but not
on the Delaware Peninsula.

Mary’s Choice—Large, yellow with red cheek, fine quality, free-
stone ; rather shy but not so much as the Susquehanna.

Columbia—Very large yellow freestone ; resembles the Susquehan-
na in appearance and time of ripening.

V Susquehanna—Origin, Pennsylvania; yellow fleshed; freestone
with beautiful red cheek ; sweet and juicy, with rich, vinous flavor; rather
5 ae bearer but splendid peach.

Chinese Cling—Fruit large, roundish oval; skin transparent cream
color, with marbling of red next the sun ; flesh creamy white, very juicy
and melting, with a rich, agreeable flavor.

' Late Mixon—Ripens with Crawford’s Late. A regular bearer. Re-
aes: Old Mixon in color, but later.

’ Wager—Very large, yellow, more or less colored on the sunny side.
Ripens last of August; juicy and of fine flavor. Origin, Miller’s Corners,
Ontario County, New York, in which vicinity it has been thoroughly
tested for ten years, and bears uniform and large crops, even when other
sorts fail. Named after the person on whose farm it originated.

Y . . .

* Crawford’s Late.—Almost universally cultivated as the best ofits
season, and asa yellow fleshed peach is certainly unequalled in quality,
wy holds the first rank as a profitable market fruit in ifs season. e

- Stump The World—Resembles Old Mixon Free in appearance.
Large size, excellent quality ; one of the most popular where known, but
not so extensively disseminated as the fore#ing.

* Ward’s Late Free—Holds the same rank in quality, being white-
fleshed, superior quality, juicy, rich, sweet, high flavored.

ELEVENTH RIPENING.

\) Fox's Seedling—A very valuable peach, ripening at a time that
makes it desirable aside from its size, fine quality, good shipping quali-
ties and market value ; white flesh, freestone, beautiful red cheek.

m Carroll’s Late Yellow—Large, yellow flesh, freestone, originated
in Maryland.
Prize—Large, yellow. freestone, profitable late sort and very popu-
lar where known.

V Temple’s Late White—Good bearer and desirable for canning.

‘“y Globe—An accidental seedling from Pennsylvania, which may very
properly be called an improvement upon Crawford’s Late. Its size, beau-
ty and flavor have caused it to be in popular demand, and, although a
comparatively new variety, its claims are so just and so wellsustained by
the opinions of good and experienced horticulturists, that it cannot fail
to make a satisfactory record in the minds of all who fairly test it.. The
tree is a rapid, vigorous grower, and an enormous bearer. Fruit exceed-

18

ingly large, globular in form, maintaining its size uniformly. Of a rich
golden yellow, with red blush; flesh very firm, coarse-grained, but juicy,
yellow, shaded with a reddish tinge towards the pit. Free from the stone,
of good quality, pleasant; luscious, rich and vinous. At its home it be-
gins to ripen in the second week of September, and lasts till the first of
October. Its good qualities have been such that it has never failed to
take first premium when exhibited in competition with other varieties.
It is also of good keeping qualities, the flesh remaining hard and firm
after long exposure. |

\Y La Grange—Large, white, slight blush, freestone ; ripens a little
before the Smock.

» Christiana, or Seedling No. 2—A beautiful and most delicious
peach ; freestone; very large, about the size and shape of Reeve’s Favor-
ite. This peach we discovered in a large and very old orchard in Mary-
land. It ripens between Crawford’s Late and Smock, when there are
some ten days during which the orchardists have no peaches to pick.
This alone, saying nothing/of its superior size and quality, must make
this a very desirable peach.

TWELFTH RIPENING.

Beers’ Smock—tThis variety is so very distinet in quality and time
of ripening as not to be confounded with any other sort. Second in
quality, but the most productive of all peaches, and one of the most pop-
ular for canning and evaporating.

NV Picquett’s Late--Georgia origin; large, yellow, freestone, pro-
ductive ; ripens with the Smock.

Shipley’s Late Red--This is one of the most beautiful of our late
peaches. There were seven or eight hundred trees of this variety planted
on Bombay Hook, near Smyrna, Del., by Mr. Wickersham. Owing to
the fine appearance of this peach and the high prices it has commanded
in the Philadelphia and New York markets--the very best test it could
have—it has become very popular throughout Delaware and Maryland,
where known. The fruit is of large size and white flesh, with beautiful
blush ; the tree is vigorous and very productive.

‘Silver Medal—Large, white; freestone, white at seed. Tree

hardy and a great bearer. In the great glut crop of 1869 it sold readily

in New York at $3 per basket, where the Crockett’s White and Smock

sold at the same time from 75 cents to $2.25 per basket. Popular wher-

ever known. Planters are putting this peach out instead of Crockett’s
. White.

Chair’s Choice—A late yellow-fleshed sort; originated in Anne
Arundel Co.; Md., and is so beautiful and otherwise desirable that the
disseminator says he paid $1,000 for the privilege of introducing it. It
is claimed to be of largest size, deep yellow with red cheek, freestone ;
flesh firm, and in quality unsurpassed either as a dessert fruit or canned.
Ripens about five days after the Smock ; tree a strong grower and heavy
bearer. Where it originated it has created much excitement and is being

planted in large numbers, as the fruit sells at double the price of the
Smock and other very late varieties.

’ 19
; Viraice Choice—A white freestone, ripening after Smock; good
bearer and popular where known.

\ Shuester’s Choice—Large yellow freestone ; very popular in Kent
Co., Md. Ripens after Smock.

V Brandywine, or Seedling No. 1—A peach resembling Crawford’s
Late—evidently an accidental seedling of that variety, anda justly popu-
lar peach. Brandywine, however, possesses one quality which will
render it more profitable than Crawford’s Late, viz: its time of ripening,
which is three weeks later, coming in with Smock. It is fully as large as
Crawford’s Late, is yellow and freestone. This peach no fruit grower can
afford to be without. Variety well tested. We shipped this fruit in the
fall of 1875, and it brought readily $1.50 per basket, when Smock sent
from the same orchard brought only 20 to 25 cents per basket.

Steadley-—Medium to large, greenish white color, flesh white to the
stone ; ripens after the Smock.

y Seedling No. 1—Large white peach. Ripens late. Red centre,
with mottled cheek and very sweet to the taste.

- Townsend—Large yellow freestone, ripening just before Smock.

THIRTEENTH RIPENING.

Smock Cling—Medium to large, yellow, productive, good ; chiefly
valuable for canning and preserving.

¥ Wilkins. (Or Ringold Mammoth Cling. )--Ripens with Late Heath
but almost double the size; clingstone, beautiful blush. This fruit is
growing on the fruit farm of Colonel Edward Wilkins, at Chestertown,
Kent Co., Maryland. Mr. Wilkins thinks this among the most profitable
varieties in cultivation ; some seasons selling as high as $8 per crate in
Baltimore market. Seedling of Heath Cling.

\ Late Heath Free—Fruit large; skin white or cream with faint
blush.

~ McColister Late Yellow—Resembles Smock ; fruit large; ripens
5 days after Smock. Valuable where late kinds are desirable: .

Y White Heath Cling—One of the finest canning peaches; good
size ; of lemon shape; tree good grower and an excellent bearer.

‘y Newington Cling—A celebrated English Cling; an old variety
which possesses many good qualities, and should be more extensively
grown. Ripens with or later than the Heath Cling. It is for market
value much superior to any cling we know here. The trees of this va-
riety frequently bear full crops when all other varieties fail to produce
any fruit, owing to the late frosts. Should be in every orchard where
planted for profit.

Newington Free--This peach is a seedling of the Newington
Cling. We discovered it in Maryland some years ago. The party who
owned the trees had obtained some seed of the Newington Cling from
the Harrison farm, Chester River, Md., planted it, and set the young
trees which it produced in orchard form. Among the number, one of
them proved to be a freestone. In size, color, time of ripening, and in
all respects resembling its parent, the Newington Cling—but not as good
a bearer as the cling.

¥

\ 20

Geary’s Hold-On—Large, yellow peach, seedling of the Smock ;
fruit larger ; pale lemon yellow; freestone ; ripens ten days after Smock ;
valuable when late kinds are desirable.

Salway—Large, late, yellow, freestone, beautifully mottled, with a
brownish red cheek ; very productive ; high color; ripening about five
days later than Smock. Of English origin. Peach of great promise.
Some seasons over-bear, and should be thinned on the trees to have them
always fine.

De Corse Heath—A mammoth white cling, ripening late, almost
transparent. A very valuable sort. Origin Kent County, Maryland.

FOURTEENTH RIPENING.

Bilyeu’s Late October—An accidental seedling ; found in Caro-
line county, Maryland. Fruit large; flesh white, with bright red cheek ;
in size and appearance much like Old Mixon Free; ripening one week
after Late Heath Cling. It has been fruited largely in Maryland and
Delaware, and has proven valuable in all cases.

STRAWBERRIES.

We endeavor to handle our plants in the best manner. They are
carefully cleaned, the roots straightened and tied in bundles of 50 each.
Our plants are all taken up from beds that have never fruited, which in-
sures nothing but pure and strong, healthy plants. Of the Strawberries
fruiting the past season, the Hyslup proves to be ahead for earliness, and
brings the most money per quart.

DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIETIES.

James Vick—Promises to be one of the few prizes of the many as-
pirants for public favor. It is said by the introducer, which claim is
endorsed by some of the most eminent horticulturists of Rochester, N. Y.,
to be very firm, exceedingly prolific, of good and uniform size and shape,
with color exceptionally bright and handsome, while the fruit is borne
upon long, stout stems, is of fine quality and most enduring—remaining
on the plants in good condition for days after ripe, a most valuable
property. With me it is unusually uniform in size and shape, and enor-
mously productive for a variety, having perfect blossoms. I think it of
decided value especially for market. The plant is the personification of
vigor and beauty.

Old Iron-Clad (Phelp’s Seedling)—A very distinct and most prom-
ising variety, and if we are to accept the extravagant accounts of it, it
would be difficult to estimate its value. It forms stools even larger than
the Sharpless—and is so hardy in winter and drought-resisting in summer,
as to have won the appellation of ‘“‘Old Iron-Clad,’’ while it is said to be
early, the fruit of bright scarlet, very firm and large, of excellent quality,
and produces in the greatest profusion. The solitary objection yet made
to it is that of a gentleman in the West, who says, if it has a fault it is in
the berries being too large.

\VManchester—This has proved a vigorous grower, and borne an
abundance of large, handsome and good flavored berries. It appears
creditable to the introducers and will, we trust, be a valuable acquisition.
The efforts made to crush this variety only made it more popular. We
shall plant it largely, and we believe with profit. Peter B. Mead thus
describes it: Form, oblate-conical ; size large; color scarlet; flesh pink,
but melting, with a rich sub-acid juice, and a decided aromatic flavor.
Leaf-stalk, reddish, as are also the runners. Flower-stalk, stout. Flower
pistilate or imperfect. Plant robust and very productive. Quality very
good to best. The plant is seemingly well adapted to very light soils,
and will doubtless find itself at home throughout the wide range of
country, and prove itself to be especially valuable for market, whether
\" or distant.

Bidwell—Did well with us, making immense stools and a large
quantity of good fruit. Vigorous and healthy. Large to very large;
conical, regular; color, glossy crimson.

‘\, Crescent—A pistilate variety of great value for earliness, hardiness
and productiveness. Here it is not surpassed for earliness, and brings
high prices, and the quality is not objectionable, though somewhat infe-
rior. Strawberries vary greatly with soil and different methods of cul-
ture and different seasons. While here it is not as good as I would like
it, I can relish a dish at the early date when it comes. It passes in
market for the Wilson, but is. not as firm. It ripens rapidly, no white
tips.

Sharpless—This grand berry has stood the test well. While it has
the defects of irregular shape, some white tips, lack of firmness, and
slowness of ripening, it is exceedingly vigorous, the largest of.all, quite
productive and of good quality. Taking it all in all, it is a grand, good

23
berry. It sells for the highest price and should be in every collection.

* Big Bob—Pistilate. It has not fruited here, but it is said by some
to be large and productive. Growing between Manchester and James
Vick it shows the least vigor. We do not feel competent to express an
opinion of its merits.

'Y Hyslup—A perfect bloomer; originated with Mr. L. J. Hyslup, of
Accomac county, Va. We have fruited it the two past seasons, and con-
sider it the best early berry grown, ripening two to three days ahead of
Chrystal City.

'Y Chrystal City—A very promising berry for early shipment, and
should be grown by all who make a business of growing berries for market.

¥ May King—tThis also has proved a very valuable sort, and may be
described as a Crescent with a perfect blossom. In fruit and plant it
resembles the Crescent ; of the same rampant growth and enduring foli-
age and extraordinary productiveness. Berry of the form and size of its
parent, the Crescent, of the same clear, bright scarlet, with added firm-
ness and apparent earliness. I am disposed to think it has come to stay,
and is of the greatest value to the grower who prefers earliness and
quantity rather than size.

Wilson (Albany)—Like many good people, it has had its day, and
must yield the championship to younger varieties of greater vigor. I as-
sume all knowledge of its productiveness of old as well as its superior
shipping qualities and magnificent tartness. Although the most profita-
ble still, with some, I must attribute thisto the fact that such growers are
not up to the times and awake to their best interests in not having tested
the better varieties of recent introduction.

‘Jewell—Now being introduced, is very highly praised by all who
have tested it. Pistilate, must be planted near some other sort to secure
best results. ‘‘A seedling grown from seed of Jersey Queen or Prince of
Berries. The plant is very robust and vigorous; season medium ; size
very large; color bright red, changing to crimson when very ripe; enor-
ja productive ; fine quality.”’

- Parry—This remarkable Strawberry has the past season maintained
its remarkable record of securing the first premium wherever exhibited.
For four consecutive seasons it has been exhibited at the Strawberry Show
of the Moorestown Agricultural Society. The past season it was placed
upon the exhibition tables of the leading strawberry shows of the coun-
try, including New York, Mineola, Moorestown, Vineland and Providence,
and was not only awarded the first premium in the class entered in all
cases, but also “‘two special premiums and a sweepstakes.”’ In brief, the
Parry has accomplished the unusual feat of proving even more valuable
than was claimed for it; forin addition to being uniformly large in size,
beautiful, of fine quality, iron-clad hardiness and productive, it ripened
early and manifested such vigor as to have endured the worst drought
during fruiting season that I have ever known, withimpunity ; maintain-
ing a vigorous growth and ripening its fruit as perfectly as though there
had not been a dearth of moisture, while every other variety I had in
fruit suffered severely. The ability of the variety to withstand drought
is a feature of too great value to be overlooked ; with berry growers at

24

the East, at least, as it has became the rule rather than the exceptions
for dry weather to prevail with us during ‘“‘Strawberry time.’’ After the
past year’s experience with it, I have nothing to take from what I said a

year ago, viz:

“Without exception, all things considered, I esteem it

the most valuable strawberry that has yet appeared before the public.”

WASH FOR TREES — ITS EFFECTS AND ADVANTAGES.

Take stone lime, slake and prepare as for ordinary whitewash, in an old
barrel or box. Take enough at a time to make a bucket two-thirds full—proper
consistency for ordinary whitewashing. Now add one pint of gas tar, one
pound of whale oil soap dissolved in hot water, or one pint common soft soap,
or one pound potash, or one pint strong lye from wood ashes, then add clay or
loam enough to make a Bucket full of the wash of proper thickness to be ap-
plied with a whitewash brush. If the trees have haa the earth ridged up around
them, take the earth away from around the collar, and apply the wash to the
body of the trees, from the limbs to the ground or down the roots. Its advant:
ages are: Ist. It will destroy the barklouse, will give the trees a bright, clean,
healthy appearance. This wash willdrive out all borers that may be in the
trees, and the moth will not deposit eggs on or about the trees the same season
the wash is used. All who grow apple, peach, dwarf pears, quince and ash
trees Should not fail to use this wash ; don’t fail to use it because not patented
and sold at a high price. We have known cases where peach trees have been
badly affected by the borer ; they have all left, and the trees become healthy
and vigorous with one application of this wash. Again, mice and rabbits will
not girdle trees where this wash is used. Applying in May for borers and gen-
eral benefit to the trees, and the late autumn as a preventive against mice and
rabbits. Gastar, applied pure, will kill trees.
