George BDunyard Z Co.
B* to present their Annual Catalogue of Fruit Trees, and solicit the favour of
your esteemed orders, which shall receive their careful attention. Intending pur-
chasers, proposing to pay a visit, will oblige by giving a day’s notice. All visitors interested
in Horticulture, whether purchasers or not will be welcome. For Railway routes see second
page of cover.
N.B.—Please add a duplicate list of extra kinds with all orders, in case any desired
sort should be sold out; failing instructions, G. B. & Co. usually fill orders by substituting
similar sorts under their correct names, unless advised to the contrary.
Not accountable for losses by frost, or damage in transit, and all goods are sent at
owners’ (purchasers) risk, unless otherwise crdered.
All orders receive G. B. & Co.’s best attention, and will be carefully packed. Where
the selection of kinds is left to them, they will pick trees that must give satisfaction. All
the varieties offered are in stock. Prices are quoted for trees of the usual planting sizes.
Extra Large Fruiting Trees can be supplied at special enhanced prices.
Customers will oblige by adding the prefix, Lady, Mrs., Miss, Lord, Dr., Rev.,
General, &c., to their names to ensure correctness, and it may save correspondence if the
Order Form is consulted before writing. Kindly let enquires be separate from orders.
The Best New Fruits recently sent out are included. Special attention is
directed to the new “‘ Guinea”’ Raspberry, new Pears, and our “‘ Allington Pippin” Apple.
G. B. & Co. confidently state that their stock contains the finest of the old and new varieties.
The wood is well ripened, and in quantity, cleanliness, freedom from blight, and general
health, the stock is unique. .
The Fruit department has Mr. George Bunyard’s special expert superintendence.
Purchasers may therefore depend upon having Trees true to name.
Constant attention is directed to prove every sort propagated. The soil of the Nurseries is
so specially suited for Fruits that the Maidstone Trees will be found unusually clean
and healthy in growth, and with remarkably good roots; in fact, Trees from these Nurseries
(by the testimony of customers in all parts) succeed better than any others, as G. B. & Co.,
by skilful culture, lay a sure foundation for permanent success. It will at once be evident
that it is best to deal direct with a responsible firm, who grow what they
sell. Buyers may depend on good value; the ‘‘ paper” price of Fruit Trees is no guide
to their real worth, and G. B. & Co. challenge comparison.
Market Fruit Growers will find profitable kinds extensively grown, and G.
B. & Co. are in a position to execute orders to any extent. A separate Market Fruit List
at special prices, may be had free, on application; and their new publication, ‘* A Year’s
work on a Kentish Fruit Farm,”’ 1/0 post free, is commended to all cultivators for
profit. ‘
In order to meet the wishes of Amateurs and possessors of Villa Gardens, devoting
attention to fruit, G. B. & Co. publish separately a series of Cultural Hints, entitled ‘‘Modern
Fruit and Rose Culture,” offered post free for 1/0, which it is hoped may enable cultivators
to attain a greater measure of success.
Scottish and Northern customers should refer to the special list of suitable fruits,
Ferms of Business, Cmpttes, Ke.
Distance no object.—Liberal Terms for Carriage.—Except as below,
Individual Orders exceeding £2 in value, without reckoning package, are sent carriage paid
to London, or to any Station on Kent, Sussex, or Surrey Railways. Orders above £5 are
sent paid to any Station in Britain, but for long distances Empties or Packages will not be
returnable. Packages for Ireland paid to Holyhead, Stranraer, or Milford, by arrangement.

Strawberries, but where other Fruits are ordered, and travel at the same time a fair allow-
ance will be made to purchasers, in extra trees, or by payment of carriage on orders over
£10 to London. Cost of delivery from Station is not undertaken by G. B. & Co. These
terms do not apply to carriage of Conifers, Shrubs, or Forest Trees.
Discount Cash Terms.—Five per cent. Discount (1s. in the £) will be allowed
upon Cash Payments exceeding 20/0 remitted WITHIN oNE MonTH, but special Quotations,
Estimates, and Contracts will be strictly nett. Invoices and advices are posted when goods
are sent on. Accounts being rendered and due ‘‘nett”’ quarterly. Extended credit can be
arranged. Reference or vash is expected from new or unknown customers.

G. B. & Co. retain the right to charge extra prices for specially selected examples, and new
or scarce sorts.
Liberal Terms for Empties.—Trees will be very carefully packed, and (except
distances as above) on returned Baskets, Mats and Orates, the full charge will be allowed
only when actually received within fourteen days. Empties must be duly advised.
Straw Bundles, Material, and labour in Packing will be charged as low as
possible, and cannot be allowed for in settlement. ‘The litter and sticks should

Barming Station, Chatham and Dover Rail, except from South Eastern Stations, which
must be addressed to Maidstone. Packages are not returnable from Ireland and Scotland,
or on orders marked “ distant’’ on invoice.
No Warranty.—Every care will be used in executing orders, but Gro. Bunyarp
and Co. will not be responsible for mistakes, nor do they warrant any article sold.
Admitted errors or failures will be compensated liberally, such however rarely occur,
because the whole Nursery is under constant supervision, and an enormous retail trade has
been mainly buclt up by selling trees ‘‘ true to name,” and healthy in growth.
Naming Fruit.—Mr. Gzorcz Bunyarp, V.M.H., F.R.H.S., will (at his leisure)
endeavour to name fruit of all kinds for customers ; if numbered and sent carriage paid. A
duplicate list should be posted, with a stamped addressed envelope for reply. Fruit cannot
be returned, and foliage should be sent where practicable. Non-customers may have fruit
named on above lines; but a minimum fee of 1/0 per dozen must be enclosed, which will be
given to the Gardening Charities. Cider or Perry Fruit and Seedlings cannot be verified.
Noblemen, Landowners, and Farmers who require professional assistance
and information as to suitability of their land and district for profitable Fruit Culture
on the Kent System, or advice as to Garden Fruit, Vines or Orchard Houses, will be waited
on by arrangement. Terms on application. A Third Edition of ‘‘ Fruit Farming for
Profit,”’ wp-to-date, can now be supplied post free for 2/9, 3/0 for Colonies or Continent ;

Medium, handsome, soft-fleshed; useful for dessert;
perfect in shape and colour, great bearer, and compact
pretty grower. Garden trees only. A.M., R.H.S.
Large; very handsome; good flavour.
Large, handsomely striped; a certain bearer, apt to
canker on the crab; should not be planted in cold
soils; most profitable on Paradise, and valuable for
small gardens.
A desirable late fruit. which must be left on the tree as
late as possible to perfect growth.
Medium, good bearer, a fine very late kitchen fruit;
like Wellington. F.C., R.H.S.
Medium, of excellent flavour, with scarlet cheek and russet
markings, an enormous cropper; the tree is a good
grower, free from canker. In purchasing it, our idea
was that it would take the place of the King of Pippins
for dessert or market, as the latter is subject to canker,
and can only be grown well in a few localities.
Medium, an excellent dessert apple, of Ribston flavour.
Medium, a free bearing spicy flavoured fruit ; a favorite
in many localities; does well near the sea. :
Small, handsomely striped, a very prolific market kind,
beautiful under garden culture.
Medium, a local fancy sort of grand flavour, but a shy
bearer. Standards, 2/6.
Small, a late kind; flat, very firm flesh.
Medium, of Ribston flavour, the finest dessert apple,
good habit, bears and grows well as a Standard, A 1
as a garden tree, succeeding in all forms, but prefers
a warm rich soil. Best flavoured from low trees on
Paradise, which, if left on the tree to finish, keep well
into January. Every gardener should plant this
grand variety in quantity.
Medium, very prolific and handsome; should be allowed
to hang until “‘finished”’ before storing, otherwise it
becomes mealy and loses flavour; bright scarlet and
yellow. A profitable market sort for local sale.
Medium, an Essex fruit of great merit; very spicy
flavour; a slow compact grower. Standards, 2/6.
Medium, good bearer, handsome flat fruit with red skin
and rich flavour; fine on Paradise, and a valuable
apple for market or family consumption; requires
good warm soil.
Medium, a very free bearing Codlin, which does well
North, and in cold soils; valuable for market.
Small, of a glowing red; fine for show or market; a
free bearer, with upright growth.
Medium, very handsomely striped, constant bearer,
brisk acid flavour; valuable for market or small
gardens; one of the best in cultivation. Whatever
the blossoming season may be, this variety comes out
favourably, and succeeds in all situations; the finest
fruits being from trees on ‘‘ Paradise.”
Medium, hardy, of great excellence and fine flavour; a
good bearer; requires to be left on the tree as long as
possible.
See Wellington.
Medium, a bandsome free-bearing kind, valuable for its
late keeping; should be allowed to hang on the tree
as long as possible.
Medium, great bearer, primrose colour. One of the best
early apples, cooking when quite small; most prolific ;
fine for market.
Medium; a Seedling from Irish Peach, with which it is
identical in shape and flavour, but of closer habit; a
first-rate bearer. Dwarfs, 1/6; older, 2/6, 3/6,

Medium, a richly coloured old kind, with fine aromatic
flavour.
Large, a nicely flavoured fruit, makes a large standard.
Large, a valuable hardy yellow fruit; free bearer, and
sound keeper; very fine, often fruiting when apples
are gcarce.
Small, neat grower, rich flavour; great bearer, forming
handsome garden trees.
Small; excellent, with delicious uromatic flavour and
soft texture; best from the tree; should be lightly
pruned, as it bears at the points of the shoots. Good
as this old kind is, it must give way to Lady Sudeley,
which eclipses it in all points.
Medium, a dessert fruit from Scotland, of fine flavour ;
it succeeds where Cox’s is tender; first-rate bearer,
and of handsome appearance. A.M., R.H.S , October
12th, 1897. One of the best apples recently introduced,
may be styled an early Cox’s Orange. Dwarfs, 2/6.
Small, first early yellow aromatic apple; ripe here middle
of July; a good garden fruit.
Medium, one of the best early apples; rich aroma. On
Paradise, forms fertile garden trees, and on Crab, good
market orchard trees.
Large, a handsome striped fruit; makes a fine spreading
Orchard tree.
Very small, a good early sort; best if left to ripen on the
tree; the richest fruit of its season ; forms prolific trees
on the Paradise stock, or as Espaliers.
Medium, a good bearer, useful old early yellow kitchen
apple, succeeding in all soils and situations, but super-
seded by Lord Grosvenor, Grenadier, and Gold Medal.
Medium, a fine late Codlin, which cooks and keeps well.
Medium, a golden flat fruit of good flavour and appear-
ance. Garden Trees, 2/6, 3/6.
Medium, very handsome, well-known variety, great and
constant bearer, sweet, with soft flesh, rich golden
yellow color; but requires a warm situation. We
grow the best upright colory variety.
Enormous, handsome, and of fine rich flavour; resembles
Beauty of Kent; valuable for culture in warm places
or pots; keeps very firmly ; soft flesh, extra ; promises
to make a fine orchard standard, bears freely in the
Nursery. 2/6, 5/0.
Small, striped, very pretty, with soft flesh and pleasant
flavour, bears freely when established.
Large, upright grower, very fine rich Blenheim flavour,
a good dessert or kitchen fruit: robust, hardy, and
suitable for exposed places. F.C., R.H.S.
Large, for a dessert fruit. We sent this out in 1885.
F.C., R.H.S., and Royal Caledonian. The finest early
dessert fruit of recent introduction, the gem of all
autumn apples; recommended for its wonderful rich
spicy flavour, aroma, and appearance; beautifully
striped with crimson, with soft melting flesh. Like
all early apples, it is at its best when eaten from the
tree, and will then remain a month in use, but looses
flavour when stored. It bears on the points of shoots
and therefore must be allowed to grow naturally with
slight pruning. Now a Standard variety.
Large, extremely handsome striped fruit, very prolific;
most desirable for garden culture, keeping sound for
six months; its fertility is remarkable ; not suitable for
orchard culture, as the weight of crop causes the tree
to weep, and thus brings it into the reach of cattle;
highly recommended for market and plantation work,
and indispensable for cultivation in small villa gardens,
while Cordons or Pyramids, on the Paradise stock,
produce grand exhibition fruit. F.C., R.H.8,

Good upright orchard or garden tree, and when fully

for market or private use; highly recommended. It
may be planted where Suffield will not succeed.
Medium. This new kind is a good upright grower.
excellent bearer, with russet and bright color; capital
flavour; will be a great addition to late dessert sorts.
F.C., R.H.S. 1 year, 2/6.
Large, showy, profuse and early bearer, one of the best
kitchen sorts. Tree tender, not recommended for
culture in damp situations; succeeds best in light
loamy or stony soil. It is not advisable to plant this
for market when Grenadier, Gold Medal, Potts, and
Kcklinville can always be relied on for a crop.
Medium, handsome, of great excellence; good bearer.
Medium, fiesh yellow, rich, sugary and tender; abun-
dant bearer; requires well drained soil; delicious.

Paradise; does not form « Pyramid readily; large

variety ; crops best on old trees.
Medium, a most delicious conical fruit, rich and aromatic;
does admirably as a Pyramid, and is good, even in
the North. One of the best flavoured kinds, with soft
flesh.

12 (APPLES). “KENT, THE GARDEN OF ENGLAND.”
NEW APPLE, 1896.
Grorcze Bunyarp & Co. call
special attention to this grand new
and distinct Apple, of which they
purchased the stock, and to
avoid confusion it will be called
‘* Allington Pippin.”
The woodcut will give an idea of
its size, &c., and G. B. & Co. believe
it will prove to be the best new kind
sent out since Cox’s Orange Pippin.
It possesses a full rich aroma, and
has a trace of the fine flavour of
the old Golden Reinette; makes a
fine Garden Tree in any form, and
a medium sized Orchard Tree. It
bears freely, and is healthy and
vigorous in growth; has the merit
of succeeding where Cox’s Orange
fails, and is thus described and
figured in the Royal Horticultural
Society’s Journal, Vol. xvii., page
166: “A variety of excellent
quality; said to be a cross with
King Pippin and Cox’s Orange.
Fruit medium sized, oval, inclined
to conical; eye deep set, stalk
slender, colour dull yellow, streaked
with red on the sunny side ; hardy,
robust constitution, and said to be
a good bearer.’’ First Class Certi-

Very large and handsome, pale yellow, with bright
crimson; the grandest fruit at the first Chiswick
Congress. Of diffuse growth on Paradise; requires
roots well pruned to induce fertility in a young state.
Its good qualities and excellent flavour recommend it
for general culture and exhibition. As a Standard it
takes some years before it comes to profit. Worthy of
a West wall, and is then superb. F.C., R.H.S.
Small; a pretty golden russet fruit, of rich flavour.
Medium, of very fine flavour, distinct and valuable.
Large; abundantly prolific, succeeding in town gardens
better than any other ; certainly one of the most useful
Codlin apples; fertile on either stodk. Invaluable for
market plantation culture on a large scale, though
subject to canker in places.
A handsome new dessert fruit. A.M., RH.S. 3/6, 5/-
Medium; compact grower, great bearer; golden yellow;
makes a good close Orchard tree, and is fertile and
beautiful on Paradise.
Medium, a favourite late kind.
Very large; a very fine late fruit, keeping soundly.
Dwarfs, 2/6.
Large: a garden fruit of great excellence, soft flesh,
succeeding in warm soils as an open Standard, but it
is best on Paradise as a garden tree, especially as a
Cordon.
Medium, a well-known sort, succeeds best on Paradise
stock. The finest fruit is produced on Espaliers and
Cordons; not suitable for an orchard tree, and should
only be planted in warm soils and aspects. There is
an exploded myth that this old fruit is dying out, but
by working only from vigorous trees and on Paradise
stock the canker has been cured, and the fruit pro-
duced is grand in size and finish.
Medium, a free growing hardy sort, of first-rate flavour
and appearance.
Small, highly flavoured, russety, with bronzy crimson;
soft fleshed ; excellent as a Standard, and most prolific,
forming fertile Pyramids on Paradise.
Large; this old variety had almost fallen out of culture,
but on trial we have no hesitation in calling it the best
dessert kind. It is melting in flesh, very aromatic and
richly flavoured, brisk and agreeable; on the Paradise
stock it becomes fruitful, and is worthy of a place in
the most select garden list. Much richer in flavour
than Cox’s Orange or Ribston, and unly needs to be
tasted to secure appreciation. No large trees. Do not
gather too early, and try on a wall.
Large, distinct ; habit compact, but free; very stout and
firm, so that the fruit does not fallin windy times; so
late in flowering that it always crops. We have xo
hesitation in recommending it as a sterling valuable sort.
Clear lemon colour, free from canker ; fine to graft on
old stems. .A market apple, which will supplant softer
kinds ; does well North. :
Large, very handsome, perhaps the finest russet sent out.
F.C., R.H.8. Scarce. Dwarfs, 2/6; Standards, 5/0.
Medium; a new dessert from from Messrs. Rivers.
A.M., R.H.8. Dwarfs, 3/6, 5/0.
Large; a late apple, from the Prince of Wales gardens;
of good flavour, hardy, and a free grower and bearer.
F.C., R.H.S.
Medium, a heavy handsome fruit, which the late Mr.
Anthony Waterer considered the best he grew, free
bearer and excellent. Dwarfs, 2/6.
Small, very handsome in colour and shape, flesh tender
and delicious; too slender for Standards, but prolific
on Paradise as garden trees.

Medium, an enormous bearer; fine for small gardens; a
never failing cropper.
Small, very rich flavour, with soft flesh.
Very large, prolific variety ; bears too freely to support
itself as a grass Orchard Standard, but grand on Para-
dise as a bush market or garden tree, invaluable for
small gardens and plantations.
Very large, yellowish, with pale red flush; bears freely,
and forms a compact garden tree, and does admirably
grafted on old Orchard Standards. F.C., R.H.S.
Large, handsome colour; a valuable kitchen fruit, a free
bearer when the tree gets old. Garden trees require
vigorous root pruning.
Medium, excellent, one of the best lates; a good constant
bearer, with Ribston flavour, worthy of a wall in cold
situations. It should be left on the trees as late as
possible, and when fully-ripened is first-rate. Prolific
on Paradise, and bears well on Standards.
Very small, but an excellent summer dessert apple,
bright yellow, handsome; forms beautiful bushes on
Paradise stock. A profitable market kind, planted by
the thousand in plantations.
Very large, handsome shape; in use for « long time.

on Paradise. F.C., R.H.S.

lific. Prune lightly.

tled with yellow; a fine keeping acid fruit; apt to
canker. :
Medium, bright scarlet, very late, quince-like flavour,
from America; good bearer, 2/6, 3/6.

bears freely and regularly on old trees, but shy in a
young state; a fine orchard tree.
Of enormous size, and good quality. Kent fruit at
Ledbury Show weighed 320zs. Makes a fine Standard.
but should not be planted in cold soils. On Paradise
it makes most fertile trees, which produce grand ex-
amples for exhibition; profitable for plantations as
bush trees. A good cooker.
Large, very handsome peach-like conical apple; worthy
of a wal) or orchard house; most beautiful, of excel-
lent distinct flavour, with melting flesh. Succeeds
on Bushes and Cordons outside.
Medium, an American variety of great excellence; very
handsome, a free bearer, with soft flesh; dark red,
juicy, with rich vinous flavour; free grower. Stan-

the best grown on Standards, and very fertile as a

Winter Quarrenden ..| T | Nov.—Dec.| Medium; a grand new dessert and market apple. The
Journal of Horticulture, Nov. 28th, 1895, says—
“ Winter Quarrenden Apple; the fruits almost exactly
resemble fine specimens of the Devonshire Quarren-
den, they are quite fresh and firm, highly coloured.
and the flesh tender, juicy, and pleasantly flavoured,
Photographs of the tree, exhibited ‘at a previous
meeting, showed a most bountiful crop of fruit. A
promising apple for market purposes.” Not only is
this one of the ‘‘coming”’ apples for market work, it
is equally valuable for the garden of the Amateur;
its grand colour and appearance would make it worth
growing, even if it had not the extra merit of good
quality. Maidens 3/6 and 5/0 each.
*Winter Queening, orSussex) KT | Dec.—Feb. | Medium, handsome, one of the best culinary apples;

which were exhibited at the R.HS. in February, 1884 and 1885 (and for which we were awarded Silver
Medals) there were many September Apples in good condition. Our own Fruit House is merely a match-
boarded shed thatched thickly, and it answers the purpose admirably, and has been much commended by
visitors, and, by request, is described and figured in R.H.S. transactions. This admirable place for keeping
fruit enabled us to set up 40 dishes of late Apples at the Temple Show, May 28rd, 1894, for which we were
awarded a Gold (gilt) Medal, and Silver Cups, 1895-6-7; at the latter show 80 kinds were set up in
remarkable condition, and they were specially admired by H.R.H, The Prince of Wales and his family.
16 (APPLES.) GEORGE BUNYARD & CO.’S FRUIT CATALOGUE.
The Journal of Horticulture said ‘‘ There are no Apples now in the markets, English or Foreign, which can
at all compare with this grand exhibit of ‘‘ Kentish fruit.’’? The principal point in preserving fruit is to allow
it time to become thoroughly ripened before gathering, and then to keep the store at an even temperature.
We shall be happy to send photographs, with printed description, as a guide to intending builders of Fruit
Rooms, on receipt of 2/6. It was figured in the Gardeners’ Chronicle at the time of the Pear Conference.

Apricots are affected by our unfavourable climate more than any other fruit. It would be advisable for
gardeners to keep ‘a reserve of young trees coming on. Chalk and brick rubbish mixed with the soil is pre-
ferable to richly manured borders; a summer mulching should always be given if a heavy crop is set.
‘The Autumnal rains frequently cause a late growth, and thus dispose Apricots to a sndden check wher
early frosts come; to obviate this, the borders should be covered to throw off the wet, removing the cover in
February. :

BLACKBERRIES OR BRAMBLES.
Many otherwise waste places would be made remunerative by planting Blackberries.
The American kinds produced fine fruit in this locality iu 1889, owing to the warm May and June, but
are not to be depended on, and we doubt if they will ever be of any commercial value. In our opinion there
is none equal in flavour to the Wild British variety, of which we offer Plants—per doz., 2/6; per 100, 85/0.

Wine Berry.—This Japanese novelty (Rubus Phoenicolasius) can be grown with success in this country ;
the berries are Mulberry-shaped, juicy, and produced in profusion, and make a delicious preserve. The
growth is robust in our Nurseries, the plants have fruited in a very satisfactory manner, while the foliage
- ‘and stems are most striking and elegant. F.C., R.H.S. A fine climber for large spaces. 1/0 each,
9/0 per doz., 60/0 per 100.
Logan Berry.—This new American fruit is likely to prove a valuable addition for Cooking or Jam. It bears
"very freely, treated like a Raspberry. The fruit is borne in clusters, and is long and dark in color, with a sharp
+ acidity when half ripe, but of a rich flavour when black ripe, when it is fit for the dessert. It may
be roughly described as a Raspberry X by a Blackberry. A.M., R.H.S., to our exhibit July 18th,. 1897.
We have been favored with a letter from Judge Logan, the raiser, and he advises caution with imported
Plants, as they do not come true from seed; we are therefore propagating from the original stock, and

SELECT GARDEN AND ORCHARD CHERRIES.
Kinds marked p are of the Duke race; u, of the Heart or Bigarreau; M, of the Morella or Kentish.
Those marked D and w succeed and form beautiful and prolific Pyramids or Cordons ; they are also grand
Cherries for walls. If ‘very early”’ fruit is wanted plant on a §. or S.E. wall. On the other hand, if very
late fruit is required, plant on a North wall. Wall trees produce immense fruit for Exhibition or Dessert. The
Tartarian, Black Eagle, St. Margaret’s, Blacks; and Napoleon, Governor Wood, Emperor Francis, Florence
and Bigarreau, White Cherries, are most desirable for keeping.
It may be well to remark that the Heart Cherries (x) do not generally succeed as Pyramidal Trees,
being liable to gum under the severe pruning requisite to keep them in shape. If however they are partially
root pruned every year, and summer pinched, they can be grown well, when protected by netting.
The culture of Cherries in a cheap cold house, constructed for the purpose, is both profitable and inter-
esting. Owing to the birds, it is seldom they are preserved until thoroughly ripe. Under house culture
Oherries attain a size and colour seldom seen, while the flavour is most delicious. All that is required is to
prevent aphides, keep the roots well supplied with water, admit fresh air freely, and syringe frequently in
the early stages of growth. 60 kinds can be seen in our Trial House.

Ry)
Black and Red Currants are among the most profit-
able market crops; and by a vigorous summer pruning
and early digging become regular bearers; many records
are known of enormous crops being taken—as a rule the
Blacks prefer a moist soil, and the Reds a lighter one, but
by cultivation they succeed in all soils and situations.
N.B.—There is considerable confusion among Currants,
the same kind bearing several names. Those we adopt are
applied here, others in italics being used locally.
Garden Bushes 3/0 to 6/0 per dozen; Standards with
stems about 4ft., pretty objects in the Garden, keeping the fruit

These Lancashire Berries are for the most part of very spreading growth, and well repay the support of
a trellis or even a cool wall. When ripe to a turn they are quite as delicious as many forced fruits. They
can be supplied as trained bushes, 9d. to 1/6. :
Our new Gooseberry House contains the best in cultivation, and is worth copying by those who lose
their fruits from birds; made of 1 inch meshed wire netting with iron supports. :
Gooseberries are finer plants than for many years; for these and currants no better artificial manure
can be found than Fish Guano or the prepared Ichthemic Guano.
We were awarded a Silver Banksian Medal, R.H.S., for a Collection of 48 kinds of Gooseberries, which
the report describes as ‘“‘in remarkably fine condition.”’

The cold Springs of 1897-8, with constant frosts, told severely on Peaches and Nectarines, and our notes
enable us to indicate by * those which succeeded best under this trial. It would therefore be safe for buyers
to select (for outside culture) the kinds marked with an asterisk.
Outside Peach borders must not be cropped with vegetables nearer than three feet, and this space should
not be dug; a good mulch can be given to a heavy crop. Thompson’s Vine Manure is indispensible-for the
production of large Peaches. With reference to Waterloo, Alexander, and Amsden Peaches, casting their
flowers, we have had no difficulty with them; if forced very gently, and kept steadily on until the fruit is
stoned, extra heat can then safely be applied to force them. They are invaluable for the first crop, and’
although somewhat wanting in size, they have very little stones, and outside are a month earlier than most.
“The fruit of Peaches, Nectarines, and Apricots had been gathered, but their luxuriant growth, fully
ripened by the September summer, and the many modes of training adopted, afforded an interesting picture.”’
—The Garden, October, 1890. 400 fully cropped trees are annually tested in the Orchard House.

HARDY PEACHES FOR BUSH CULTURE.
For some years R. D. Blackmore, Esq., has successfully grown Peaches out of doors in his gardens,
and we are inclined to think that the new race of American-Peaches can be grown outside as Half-standards
in many places in the Kingdom. The situation should be sheltered, and the soil should be calcareous, rather
shallow, and abounding in porous stones (which can be added if needed, or broken bricks would answer), and
the trees should be treated like Plums and only be watered with liquid manure when they carry a crop. The
aim of the cultivator being to get the wood well ripened ; fruit so grown carries a fine colour and is very rich
in flavour. Trees for Half-standards, 5/0 each; six for 21/0.

Nearly all Pears can be supplied on Pear or free Stock. The sorts that can be supplied on the best Quince
Stock, as Cordons, Dwarfs, Espaliers, and Pyramids, are noted. By the use of the Quince Stock a heavy crop on
small trees can be ensured. Pyramids frequently bear when not more than two feet high, and by judicious muiching
the fruit is handsome, large, and more highly flavoured than when grown upon a wall, At the Chiswick Conference
the Pears from trees upon Quince Stock were much the finest. Trees ‘on Pear or free stock’’ are best for chalky
and gravel soils.
Garden Pear culture sometimes fails because the roots are not properly pruned and regulated, a matter
of the greatest moment in any fruit cultivation. The roots should always be kept near the surface, except
upon sandy soils, and root pruning must be rigorously carried out in October Pears upon Quince should
always be planted so that the junction is below the surface. See Cultural Notes, 1/0, post free.

Large, requires a wall or warm situation. Hundreds of
bushels are marketed from Standards in East Kent, but
unless the soil is warm and deep it is not first-rate. A
long russety fruit, which succeeds on chalk and by the sea.
Large, of rich refreshing flavour; very good in warm soils.
Quince.
Very large; handsome; good bearer; not always of first-rate
quality, but passable when gathered before it is quite ripe ;
a remarkably fertile fruit, and worthy of culture in small
gardens. Quince. (See Illustration 6.)
Large, one of the best early autumn pears; a good bearer;
juicy, and of agreeable flavour; fine on quince, and best
flavoured from open trees. Rather spreading for a Pyramid,
succeeds as a standard, even in Scotland.
Medium, remarkably fine in flavonr; great bearer; a slow
grower which well repays the protection of a wall; a good
Christmas pear. Quince.
Very large, great bearer, rich flavour, good on quince or wall ;
succeeding as a Standard in dry warm spots—not suitable

Medium, a long fruit of remarkably good flavour in its season,
melting and delicious, good bearer; slow grower on quince.
Large, a valuable late melting pear, requires a wall in clay
soils; but succeeds admirably on quince double worked.
Cordons on a West or South wall produce large fruit of a
particularly refreshing flavour.
Large, a fine pale green pear in style of Bachelier, but much
hardier and a profuse bearer; new, handsome, melting and

Very large; melting, refreshing, sweet, and very handsome
in colour. Dwarfs 1/6, older 2/6, 3/6. D.G.
Large, one of the best late pears, of refreshing sweet juicy
flavour. It grows freely, and must be root pruned to
induce fertility and prevent the fruit cracking; requires a
South or West wall. D.G.
Large, handsome russety fruit, melting, delicate, and rich in
flavour, fine on quince; makes a prolific Cordon or Pyramid.
Large, well known, a perfumed melting pear, of great ex-
cellence; bears freely on the quince stock, and is better
flavoured if gathered a little before it appears ready.
Large, round; the best for stewing; succeeds on quince, and

Large, like Jargonelle in shape, bears freely, of very rich
flavour; a hardy free grower, succeeding on chalk. Quince.

times worthy of the dessert, remarkably handsome, and
withstands the spring frosts well; bears profusely, and
regularly. Compact grower upon Quince.

best in its season. This grand variety ranks as the most
delicious melting pear grown, it bears remarkably large
fruit, and makes a fertile Pyramid, Cordon or Wall Tree.
By planting “Comice’’ on various aspects, a succession
can be maintained ; it is of such excellence that several trees
should be added to every collection.
Medium ; delicious late pear, bearing freely, and keeps well;
requires high culture and severe thinning to perfect its
growth. Quince.
Large; an old favourite, bearing freely in some situations, but
not first rate in flavour, good in warm seasons when liberally
cultivated. Quince.

others fail; most reliable for market or garden culture.
Large, hardy, and a fair grower, melting, with delicious re-
freshing flavour; fruit handsome; most prodigious regular
cropper on Quince stock, and succeeds as a Standard; a
variety that should be grown in quantity in every garden.
It equals Marie Louise in quality, is hardier, and bears very
much better. See Fig. 23.
Medium ; a great bearer, useful for market, often bears freely
when other pears fail, and in cold soils and North is a very
useful garden variety on Quince.
Medium, deliciously sweet, great bearer, and in its season one
of the finest: handsome Pyramid on Quince, reliable as a
Standard or Wall Tree; extra fine and indispensable.
Large, a handsome fruit, of finest flavour, sweet and melting,
good grower, abundantly prolific; Quince, extra.
Very large, perfumed and melting, fine handsome fruit, not

Enormous, brown melting pear, perhaps the largest of all;
will not keep long, but is good for stewing before it becomes
ripe; a free bearer, of taking appearance for decoration.
Large, roundish fruit, of rich aromatic flavour for garden
culture; good as a Pyramid; best on pear stock.
Medium ; the best fruit of its season; is improved in flavour
if gathered before it parts readily from the tree. Succeeds
on walls or as an open Standard; makes a prolific tree on
the Quince, and forms a spreading bush ; is not suitable for
a Cordon as the joints are so far apart,

of the best late kinds. Exhibited at Edinburgh, of remark-
able size. A garden variety, worthy of extended culture.
D.G., or on Pear.
Large to medium; one of the best pears for walls; succeeds
in all soils and situations (except cold moist places), is best

as it is a rapid grower; richly flavoured but uncertain in
bearing. See Emile d’Heyst.
Large, fair flavour, good bearer—Quince or Pear stock—
hardy, Suitable for market culture, often crops freely when
others fail.
Small to medium, hardy, melting, and excellent, good bearer,
good for general winter use, four months in season, often
large from a wall, most juicy, delicious Bergamot flavour.

flavour, rather rough in appearance; deserves a wall;

Pears marked + are suitable for Standards. Most Pears succeed well as Pyramids except those that
grow diffusely, which are best as bushes. When Pears succeed on the Quince they fruit earlier, but are
generally more robust on the Pear; too luxuriant growth may always be checked by root pruning in October.
Those which do not ripen in cold summers are better grown on a wall, and should not be planted in cold clay
soils or in the North. Purchasers stating their requirements, soil, and situation, and leaving the selection
to G. B. & Co., will be conscientiously dealt with. For root pruning hints see Cultural Notes, Post Free, 1/0.

SELECT FIRST-CLASS PEARS AND HINTS ON GATHERING
In their order of ripening at Maidstone. Their ‘‘season” varies considerably, and is governed by locality
and the weather. Early Pears are best when gathered before they part readily from the tree, and laid up
for a few days; in the later kinds the season may be prolonged by gathering the south side of the tree a
week before the rest of the crop. Pears which ripen after Christmas must be allowed to hang on the trees
as late as possible, and the trees should be assisted by liberal summer mulchings to form fully developed fruit.
Every care should be taken not to store any bird-pecked or bruised fruit, and at all times they ought to be
delicately handled and kept in a cool dark place. The Pear is the Queen of Hardy Fruits, and no paing
should be spared to secure them in the best possible condition,

Most of the ordinary Pears bake well before they are fully ripe; a dish of stewed Pears is wholesome
and always appreciated. In «cold season, when some good kinds do not ripen, they become useful for
stewing or baking, but many can be forwarded (mellowed) by placing them in boxes upon the hot water
pipes of the Greenhouses.

Great bearer; a fine local market plum. The trees
grow large and sturdy, and do not break down with
a heavy crop. A fine hardy sort. In 1890-97, when
plums failed, this kind produced a good crop.
Juicy and rich; fine dessert fruit; large, valuable
garden plum; first-rate on wall or orchard house,
and occasionally cropping freely as a Standard tree.
One of the most valuable ; will hang on the wall for a
long time ; too delicate for Standard, except in some
places, where it proves a lucrative market sort for
late crop. See Fig. 26.
Very finely flavoured fruit; like Golden Drop, with a
purple line on suture. F.C., R.H.S.
A delicious late dessert kind; bearing freely; new;
highly recommended. F.C., R.H.S. iS
_Good bearer and a strong grower, large and productive.
a Orleans style; good sweet fruit.
dA very useful market plum; splendid cooked or for
jam; succeeds The Czar.
ZEarly, rich gage flavour; a success in all forms; most
~ prolific constant bearer, very early on a wall.

the best flavoured when cooked; 35,000 in stock.
A market variety, similar to Pershore; a strong stout
grower, bearing profusely.
Fine clear yellow; good flavour, handsome.
A richly flavoured very late handsomely coloured
kind; new. Dwarfs, 2/6. F.C., R.H.S.
Late; one of the best for cooking; bears freely, but
liable to get frosted on Orchard trees. Garden
trees only.
Well known to be the very best and richest of all. In
common with all the Gages (or Reine Claudes of
France) this race requires vigorous root pruning,
and then bears freely; as Pot Trees they succeed in
an Orchard House, but as Standards they are not
satisfactory, the birds taking the best buds in winter.
Very rich round Gage, 2/6.
A new early variety, which crops freely; valuable
culinary or market plum, succeeding Prolific.
Excellent, keeps well; requires a wall, and will hang
very late.
One of the largest and finest dessert plums known for
wall or garden culture, succeeding as a Standard,
and very fertile as a Pyramidal tree ; rich flavour.

Useful old garden sort; bears sparingly.
A good kitchen fruit, fair for late dessert use; very
handsome and valuable for preserving ; fruit from a
wall carries plenty of bloom; a profitable market sort.
A late variety of robust growth, and a capital bearer ;
the fruit does not crack with wet; a very fine new
sort, highly recommended as one of the grandest
novelties lately introduced. A lucrative market
sort; large stock. F.C., R.H.S. ;
A very useful market sort, valuable for its earliness;
when fully ripe a good table plum. Best on stony
soils, and should not be planted in damp situations ;
liable to frost.

Excellent, very handsome, early in August, a splendid
garden fruit ; succeeds as a Standard, and bears well
in certain localities when the trees gain age.
A profuse bearer; for cooking or bottling.
Very large, good bearer, and a sturdy grower. When
plums failed in 1887, this bore well and sold for
95/0 per bushel. Forms a spreading tree, is enor-
mous from a wall; valuable for late market or
garden culture.
New, a grand late juicy fruit. 5/0 to 7/6.
On a wall this kind hangs very late, and attains 42in. ;
brisk acid flavour, good kitchen plum.
In consequence of its liability to die suddenly, we
left this out of stock, but as market growers insist
on having it, we have again propagated it. A sweet
rich gardon fruit, bearing profusely even in Scot-
land.
Very delicious and handsome, becomes a perfect sweet-
meat when shrivelled; a garden plum, fine for pot
culture or walls, and fruits fairly well when root
pruned as a Pyramid.
A highly prized late sweet Gage, extending the
season of its class; rich flavour.
Rich juicy dessert plum, excellent for garden culture.
See note under Green Gage.
Same as Victoria. Enormous stock in hand.
A useful very early yellow sort for tarts

Plums succeed as Standards or Pyramids, a few require a wall; as open Espaliers they do not generally
flourish. Root pruning is very beneficial to all the fast growing kinds, and Pyramids or Bushes-so treated
and summer pruned are very fruitful; trees about a yard high have produced three and four dozen fruit in
the Nurseries In the warmer districts Plums on a North Wall produce large and handsome fruit, which
comes for use after the general crop is over, and by netting they can be kept still later; but in Scotland the
choicer kinds are preferable on a wall. Plums also form very profitable and interesting objects when
grown as ‘‘ Columnar Tree ;"’ summer and winter pruned, and restricted at the roots; they form perfect ropes
of delicious fruit. See ‘‘ Fruit Trees for Villa Gardens” in Cultural Notes, 1/0 post free.

Canes, selected for Gardens, as priced. Market price per 1,000 on application.
In planting, the canes should be cut back to 2ft., to enable the plant to form shoots for the following year's crop.
Not less than 50 supplied at the 100 rate.
New Yellow Raspberry, The Guinea /Bunyard).—We now offer this remarkable new kind for the
second time. It was raised from Superlative and partakes of its vigorous growth and foliage; the fruit
is large, handsome and of striking appearance, not quite so sweet as the ordinary yellow raspberry, but
brisk and pleasant. It is quite a distinct break, and we have the entire stock in our hands; Guinea does
not cane so freely as others we but have a good stock this season. It is a kind that will, we feel
sure, do us as much credit as Superlative. Under good culture the canes will grow 8-9ft. long. Per
doz. 9/0, per 100 £3.
Buyers will note that a special Label is used for this variety. . “

grower, and the heaviest cropper of any; perfectly distinct. Superlative is, par excellence,
@ Dessert Raspberry, the berry is conical, large and handsome (resembling Vicomtesse Straw-
berries), and is readily plucked on account of its long footstalk. The flavour is very fine, sweet
and full. In the recent droughts it was the only kind that had a crop worth picking, while it
does not rot or mould in wet weather. Greatly admired by all visitors, and far ahead of all
other sorts. The canes are stout, reaching to 9ft. in a season, supporting themselves. For
preserving it is grand, as as there is an absence of watery juice. Four good fruit weigh an
ounce. Still confidently recommended ag a great advance. First Class Certificate, R.H.S.

Favourably noticed in the Press, and Testimonials have been received from all parts of the world, in praise of this Raspberry
N.B.—The Superlative Raspberry is of a new and distinct race, and possesses a robust constitution, which enables it to be
grown where all other sorts fail; equally so in Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall, &c. A New York firm who had their stock from
us, say :—‘‘ We have tested Superlative thoroughly in our grounds; we are confident it will be valuable for American planters.
Of the many foreign Raspberries we have tested, this surpasses them all for size, crop and quality.” A Russian customer says
in that cold country Superlative has proved the best ; at the present low prices inferior kinds should not be planted.

This fruit delights in damp soil, and can therefore be planted on swampy land, on pond margins, or
odd corners on ordinary soil; a good watering with liquid manure will swell the fruit to a large size. It is

Pyramidal Pears on Quince, and Apples on Paradise, and Plums, if lifted and root pruned, may be
planted 3 to 4ft. apart, and are interesting trees for small or Villa Gardens, and so treated a great variety
can be grown in a limited space.
In Planting Fruit Trees on Walls, the vacant spaces between each tree may be filled with trained
Currants and Gooseberries, or single Cordon Trees, to be removed as the main tree grows. Such bushes
produce fine early fruit, which on east or north aspects hangs late, and becomes a welcome addition to
desserts. ;
ORCHARD TREES, Standard Apples, Cherries, Pears, or Plums in Orchards should be planted from
15 to 30 ft. apart, and must be well staked and protected from Rabbits and Stock.— See below.

GEORGE BUNYARD & 00/8 FRUIT CATALOGUE.
In connection with the careful Gathering and Storing of
Fruit, we beg to insert a Drawing, and to call attention to the
ingenious trays patented and introduced by Mr. Henry Aparr
Orr, of Bedford. The advantage of these trays is that the
fruit can be placed upon them direct from the tree, and then
be stored one upon another in a very limited space, and at

FRUIT for SALE.—We have spare selected Fruit of Peaches, Nectarines, Grapes, Tomatoes, Dessert Pears,
Kent Cob Nuts, Dessert and Kitchen Apples, which can be sent, very carefully packed, to any part.
WHEN TO STORE AND PICK HARD FRUIT.—We are frequently asked for rules as to this.
Early Pears are best gathered before they are quite mature—later sorts are fit to pull when the stalk
swells over the spur, and they readily part from the spur when lifted up; do not hurry picking,
because a few fall, as they are generally maggoty. Late Pears should remain on the tree as long as
possible to perfect. In Apples—The Summer Dessert Fruits are best eaten direct from the tree, and
Autumn Kitchen sorts the same, or they can be stored for a limited time. In later Apples, wait till
they drop a little, and if the fallen fruits are perfect, cut one open, and they are ready to store if the
seeds (pips) are black ripe. Every care must be used to prevent bruising; read also carefully the other
remarks made with the various Fruits.
Exhibitions of Hardy Kentish Fruits.
G. B. & Co. have for 13 years been the Champion Exhibitors, and it must be conceded that the grand
specimens set up by them have gone far to raise the standard of Fruit Culture in this Country, and show the
public what can be done in this direction, and demonstrate how infinitely superior British fruit is to that
imported. To show the wide range our Prize Exhibits have taken, we may say that the following Cities and
Towns have been visited with collections :—

Practical Hints on Planting, Pruning, &c.
Trees received during frost should (without unpacking) be placed in a warm cellar or frost-proof house
till the return of suitable weather for planting, and thus treated will take no harm. Trees should not have
their roots dried by the wind or sun. In planting, the small fibres should be well spread out, and the main
coarse roots slightly shortened with a sharp knife; any injured roots should be cut clean away. Plums,
Peaches and Nectarines may be pruned back the first year of planting, in April; and, if planted early,
Apples, Cherries, Apricots, and Pears as garden trees, may be treated in the same way, but they generally
succeed better if allowed to grow for a season without pruning. In soil already rich, no manure need be put
in with the roots at planting time, but a mulching on the surface (about 3 feet surface round the stem) will
be very beneficial. The fibres should be well enveloped in fine soil, aud the tree firmly staked at once. Never
plant a tree deeply, it is safer to err at the other extreme. In wet soils plant on the surface and make a
mound over the roots of the tree. Should the soil prove poor, some well-decayed manure should be mixed
with it at planting time. It is important that trees should be pruned with a good sharp knife (see page 49).
The pruning scissors and Secateurs will be found very suitable for summer nipping, as well as ordinary
pruning, while the French parrot-billed shears save labour in October root pruning.
It is very difficult to give general rules for pruning in a catalogue, and many Apples and Pears will not
fruit under the hard cutting necessary to form handsome Pyramids, without corresponding attention to the
roots. We should advise, where that has been tried without fruit resulting, that the trees be pruned partially
for a time, when they will probably become fruitful. As many bear on the extremities of the shoots, the
special habit of each kind should have the pruner’s attention. If a tree becomes fertile it continues so. The
set shape should give way to its natural habit if that means fruitfulness. If half as much attention were
bestowed on the roots as is given to the summer and winter pruning, a better state of things would be seen
in most gardens.
Cordon, Espaliers, Pyramids and Wall Trees should not be pruned too early, as this induces a second
growth. We consider the first week in August a good time.
Late Puantep TreEs.—It is a capital plan to dip the roots in a thick soup, made of clay and earth
{puddling), before planting; this adheres to the roots and assists them in resisting spring droughts. .
Pruning Orchard and Plantation Trees.
If these are planted before Christmas, Plums and Damsons may be pruned the following March; but
after many years’ experience, we consider that they, as well as Pears, Apples and Cherries, are more likely
to form healthy growing trees if left unpruned for a year. Our reason for this is that the foliage is earlier
on unpruned trees and consequently more root power is developed; after a summer’s growth the tree,
when pruned back, will make long and strong shoots, which will form 4 good foundation; as looking to
future profits, it is much better to form a TREE before fruit checks growth. ‘l'rees heavily pruned when first
planted only make useless spray, and should such form fruit buds, the after growth of the tree is checked for
years. Orchard trees planted after January should not be pruned at all.
Black and Red Currants may be pruned the first year of planting, and Gooseberries the same year
if set before January; otherwise let them grow a year without pruning. Raspberries should be cut back to
2ft. at planting time.
Keepine Fruir.—A cool even temperature is best for this purpose. We have had great success in
preserving our Pears and Apples in a cheaply constructed Fruit House, set on the soil, made of match
board, and thickly thatched. We shall be pleased to send direction for building a Fruit Room, price 2/6.
Re-Grafting.
In many orchards there are large free growing trees that seldom crop, or which produce poor fruit.
Such would be fine stocks to graft upon, and would bear fruit in two years. Those kinds named in our select
lists would be suitable for this purpose. The old trees should be headed back in February, purchase the
grafts then, and lay them in soil until wanted for grafting at the end of March or April.
Grafts in February or March.
Prices for Grafts for garden use, except new or scarce sorts at higher prices, in small lots, will be 3/0
per dozen; where 25 or 100 of each are required special prices will be quoted. New sorts are 1/0 each
where tree are quoted at 2/6 each, and so on in proportion.
BIG TREES.—To Wust or Eneuanp Pranters.—In these districts it is the custom to plant very old
and strong wooded trees, and G. B. & Co. would call attention to the fact that this is exactly the wrong way
to raise an orchard. In these large examples the best fibrous roots are gone, and the trees suffer for years
from removal. An Orchard tree of 3 to 5 years is far better; such examples have young active roots and
take to the new situation at once if properly staked, and after a year’s growth they should be pruned back,
and will then beat the “old style trees’’ both in growth and fertility. So much is this the case that our best
Market Growers will not plant trees over 2 years old.
Trees For tHe Norta—rrom us.—A County Council Lecturer writes:—‘‘I am glad to say that I
have exploded the fallacy of trees from the South being unsuitable for Northern districts. The Fruit Trees
from your Nurseries have done remarkably well, and beaten those from elsewhere.” This is simply because
a well ripened tree can be planted anywhere with success, :
48 GEORGE BUNYARD & 00S FRUIT CATALOGUE.
The adaptability of the “ Quince’’ stock for Pears, and the “ Paradise’? for Apples, has been fully
proved at the Chiswick Fruit Conference and competitive exhibitions. We illustrate from nature in the set
of Woodcuts below specimens showing the mass of roots these stocks produce on the surface, where they obtain
all the benefit of the sun’s warmth, and stimulating action from manurial mulchings and waterings. The
secret of producing large and fine Fruit for Table or Exhibition is to have trees upon these stocks for Garden
culture; to feed liberally when a crop is set, but not otherwise.
Quince Stock Wild Crab Apple Stock Paradise Stock

Insects and Blights affecting Fruit Trees.
Information is often asked on the above, and we therefore give a few general hints; fuller particulars
can be found in “ Fruit Farming for Profit.”
_ AputpEs.—The Black Fly on Cherries is very injurious, and should have attention as soon as the leaf
shows curl and harbours any fly. If local, sprinkle with tobacco dust and syringe next day, and repeat
again in three days time. If general, wash with 2ozs. of shag tobacco steeped with loz. of soft soap in 2
gallons of hot water. Syringe well under the leaves in a warm state. If the growth is long enough,
dipping is most effectual, and economizes the liquid, or a stronger solution of the Green Fly mixture can be
used.
Green Fiy (White Fly, or Lice) on Plums and the Red Fly on Pears and Apples can all be treated as
for Black Fly at half the etrength, or in place of tobacco 4ozs. of quassia chips can be used with the soft
soap. For’Peaches and Nectarines the mixture requires well diluting, as the young growth is very tender,
and two or three weak applications are preferable to one strong one, as that will often bring off the foliage.
It is best to do the work if possible in the evening and syringe next day with clear tepid water, to clean the
foliage. Other mixtures are Fowler’s Insecticide, Gishurst Compound, Fir Tree Oil, and Nicotine Soap ;
which contain directions on each case, and are sold by most Florists and Seedsmen.
Amertoan Bricut (Woolly Aphis).—This is very injurious to Apples, and makes itself known by a
white woolly substance in the cracks of the bark and in the leaf axles, and at any wound in the bark. It
can be quickly got rid of on old trees by rubbing in Gishurst Compound, Soft Soap, and weak Parrafin with
a soft brush, or by Fir Tree Oil. Or, on young and more tender trees, by mixing 1 gallon of warm water
to a pint of Jeyes Sanitary Fluid, in which 160 grains only of Corrosive Sublimate is stirred. This requires
care, as the latter is a poison.
Rep Sriper —All fruit trees seem liable to this pest, which makes itself evident by the foliage losing
its green colour, and in Peaches and Nectarines assuming a whitish tinge. In Vines it can be cured by
placing sulphur on the hot water pipes, and syringing freely with tepid water the next day. if the fruit is
not too far advanced. Trees in the open can be syringed with the compound named for Aphides, of various
strengths, washing with tepid clear water afterwards. It attacks the under side of the foliage, and it is
therefore necessary to keep the syringe low down, as unless the the leaves are well saturated the minute
insects escape. In dry spring weather Gooseberries are often taken with it before the foliage is developed.
Timely attention will save the crop, which would otherwise fall from want of nourishment. For Field crops
4lbs. Liver of Sulphur, 4Ibs. Soft Soap, to 100 gallons of water, is a good wash.
N.B.—These matters are treated at length in our “ Fruit Farming for Profit,” chapter 20, and also jn
+©A Year’s work on a Kent Fruit Farm,”
«KENT, THE GARDEN OF ENGLAND.” 49
GoosEBERRY CATERPILLAR.—The appearance of this pest is soon observed, if only appearing in
isolated spots the larvee can be picked off by hand. If a larger area is affected, a dusting with Hellebore
Powder will kill them at once, but as this is poison the fruit must be washed before use (in green state).
Bia Bup.—Big Bud in the Black Currant has no known cure; the affected buds should be pieked off
and bnrnt, and the trees should be heavily manured and allowed to make strong young wood, which to a
degree overcomes the evil. Sprays are of little use, as the mixture fails to reach the well-protected larvee
enveloped in the buds.
Winter Mora.—This and other larve which eat the foliage of Apples, Plums, Cherries and Pears,
early in the Spring, can, on Orchard trees, be checked by placing a band of Willesden paper round the stem,
and dressing this with Evesham grease early in October to end of February, renewing the grease once a
month; it is at this season that the females ascend the trees to lay their eggs. In May or June, if the
leaves appear joined or curled together, they can be pinched between the finger and thumb to kill the small
contained larvze (caterpillars), as in gardens it is dangerous to use sprays of a poisonous nature. Garden
trees can be protected with grease bands; but each stem should be banded, otherwise the moths will cover
the trees with eggs. .
Weevis.—lIi the foliage is eaten and no enemy appears by daylight, it is probable that they are
attacked by Weevils, which work at night. The trees should be quietly approached with a lantern and be
shaken over a white cloth, and the insects killed with boiling water.
Russisx.—A great. point should be to burn at once all prunings of fruit trees and bushes, and the
rubbish quarter should be at some distance from the fruit trees, as it harbours all kinds of insect pests.
CanxER.—Much controversy has arisen over this point, which experts now consider to arise from some
necessary ingredient being absent from the soil. The injury may be increased by the action of small insects
which take advantage of the rough surface to harbour and increase. The affected parts should be cut clean
away and the wound be dressed with painter’s knotting, and, if the soil is top dressed with the following—
Superphosphate of Lime, 35lbs; Nitrate of Potash (Saltpetre) 21lbs; Nitrate of Soda, 28lbs; Sulphate of Lime,
21lbs; sprinkled on the surface at 40z. to the square yard, applied in Autumn and Spring (Mr. Rivers’
formulz), or to save trouble with Pearson’s Chemical Manure, the disease will in time disappear. There is
no doubt that it is also induced by too deep planting; and therefore the smaller trees should be lifted up,
their roots pruned, and the tree be planted in such a manner that in fresh soil they may be induced to root
nearer the surface. In Orchard trees canker is started by gunshot wounds, and on broken and bruised
boughs, by careless gathering, and the pressure and barking by ladders in gathering.
Scatz.—Frequently small trees and other forms of apples and pears appear to be greyish in the stems.
This is caused by innumerable mussel scale insects which adhere to the bark and quickly stop the healthy
growth of the tree. They may be checked by timely application of sweet oil, or if very severe, diluted
paraffin may be applied at intervals as required, or the Jeyes Fluid mixture named for the American blight.
Brrps.—The Sparrow and the Bullfinch are the most serious enemies to fruit crops, and these birds and
their nests should be destroyed whenever found. Where gardens are near woods and enclosures, netting all
soft fruit must be carried out. The useful part that all summer birds (migrants) take in keeping down
insects should protect them from all harm, and those that are always with us, such as the Blackbird, Thrush,
Tomtit, &c., although very troublesome at times, are the gardeners’ friends at heart. The Cuckoo feeds on
the Gooseberry caterpillar and should not be disturbed. An ingenious trap, made by Gilbertson & Page,
Hertford, is highly recommended. It is similar to a lobster pot and the birds are taken alive, often in large
numbers.

SHOW APPLES, PEARS, AND PLUMS.
(a) for Dessert, (b) for Cooking.
With a view to removing difficulties and resolving doubts as to the distinction to be drawn between
Dessert and Kitchen Apples, Pears, and Plums, the Council of the Royal Horticultural Society have caused
the following lists to be prepared for the guidance of their Judges at the Society's Exhibitions and Shows.
The Council fully recognise that the line of separation between Dessert and Kitchen Fruits must be
entirely arbitrary, and to a great extent a matter of taste—which differs widely. They do not, therefore,
wish it to be supposed that the varieties named in the one list are unfit for use in the other. Everyone is
at liberty to use a variety for any purpose he likes, but in their opinion a fixed line of division between the
two classes, for Exhibition purposes, is absolutely necessary to secure uniformity, and avoid con-
fusion and disappointment at their shows.
The Council are also fully aware that some varieties of beautiful appearance, which do not in their
opinion come up to Dessert Standard as regards flavour, are often placed on the dessert table.
Every one is at liberty to ornament their tables with brightly coloured fruits as well as with beautiful
flowers; but beauty in fruits, although a great additional advantage when it accompanies flavour and
quality, does not, when standing alone, entitle a variety to rank in the technical exhibition sense as a
Dessert Fruit.
It would be impossible to draw up lists with which everyone would agree, as to the position assigned
to each individual variety, and it is only by mutual concessions that a general working agreement can be
reached, but that it isa good thing to endeavour to bring about such agreement the Council have no doubt
whatever.
The following list will be found to include the great majority of varieties at present shown for
exhibition. In the case of those not named herein, the Judges must decide for themselves in which class
they will put them, always bearing in mind the principles expressed in the preceding paragraphs. Judges
are requested in the case of any variety of sterling merit coming to their notice, omitted here, to notify
their action to the Secretary of the Royal Horticultural Society, with a view to future revision of the liste.
The object of the following lists should be borne in mind. It is only to decide between Dessert and
Cooking varieties. It is in no sense to recommend any, much legs all those mentioned, as being desirable
varieties to plant. Such advice should be sought elsewhere. "
The nomenclature follows the 5th Edition, 1884, of the late Dr. Hogg’s Fruit Manual.

SELECT LIST
OF
THE BEST ROSES.
EORGE BUNYARD & Co, in presenting their Annual Rose List,
have the pleasure of offering a very large stock in fine clean condition,
and in exceptionally well-rooted plants. Standards have done well, and are
quoted at lowest prices; Teas give a full crop and prices are further
reduced.
Roses are grouped under their colours, and we hope this system will
greatly facilitate the selection of suitable flowers. Those who require a
variety will do well to leave the matter in G. B. & Co.’s hands; ordering
for example, 3 out of A, 1 from B, 4 from C, 2 from D, 1 from E, 1 from
G, for 12, and so on. Many very fine New kinds are offered.
The classifying of Roses to colour must be taken as approximate; as a
cut Rose one day may be in Class A, and the next in Class B. Soil,
season, and situation making a great difference.
G. B. & Co. solicit your early orders, and would ask you to add a
supplemental list, in case any sort being in great demand should be sold out.
Rose Labels.—The Acme Rose Labels are particularly recommended.
Supplied to buyers’ own lists.—See L/lustration. Price
Per Dozen, 1s. 6d. Per Gross, 16s. 6d.
FOR ROSES
The Public often suppose that G. B. & Co., only grow Fruit Trees;
but Roses are always a feature of the Nurseries, and the stock approaches
30,000 this year, while 60 acres of Conifers, Shrubs, &c., are grown also.
N.B.—November and December are the best months for transplanting Roses, but with care they may
be planted until April; some are especially prepared for late removal, while many are kept as dwarfs,
in pots, which are removable at any season. G. B. & Co. do not hold themselves responsible for losses by
frost or drought after the plants leave their Nurseries. See notes above ‘Tea Roses” as to protection in
Winter.

SPECIAL PRICES FOR LARGE QUANTITIES.
Some Rose buyers are led astray by the idea that a soil which pro-
duces prize flowers must be good for the production of Rose Trees. Our
soil being sandy loam, produces, we venture to say, the FINEST ROOTED
plants in the Trade, which cannot fail to do well, taking much better
than plants from heavy soils, which pushing deep tap roots, send up strong
growths, too often blind at the base. The Maidstone Roses are specially
grown for sale, fully ripened, and can be cut back without loss.
GEORGE BUNYARD & CO., MAIDSTONE. 63
A FEW HINTS ON ROSE CULTURE.
Roses are too often crowded into borders filled with shrubs and herbaceous plants. The “ Queen of
Flowers” resents this treatment and refuses to unfold her charms. The best plan is to make separate beds
for Roses, away from the shade of trees and in the best positions in the garden, reserving the warmest spot
for the Teas. The ground should first be trenched deeply (2 to 3 spits), adding the richest manure available
(say cow and horse dung), which should be mixed in the soil as the work proceeds, and if clayey the bed
should be drained ; if sandy and light, procure some heavier soil and mix it with the manure, taking out the
original soil to make room for the fresh material; lay the land up roughly for the winds and frost to
improve it.
Presuming that the summer notes have been consulted and the desired trees ordered: on arrival they
should be at once unpacked, and if dry immerse the roots in a pail of water for six hours, then prune the
roots back sparingly and plant at once in position, taking care to envelope the roots with fine soil and to
plant them firmly and not too deeply, say place the “bud” of dwarfs two inches under the soil; stake the
standards, and if the dwarfs are strong cut off half of the coarse growths, then mulch over the bed six
inches thick with half rotten stable manure, and leave it so until the month of March. In case of Dwarf
Teas it is best to earth them as one would potatoes, covering the lower six inches of the growth with earth,
and laying on some mulching afterwards. If standard Teas are planted, protect the heads by tying in
some Bracken or Spruce Fir boughs. If the planter has attended to these particulars he can rest till the
middle of March, when weather permitting, and all fear of severe frosts being over, the standard and dwarf
H.P.’s can be pruned; the Teas being left till the first week in April; and at that time the earth can be
removed from the dwarfs and the cover from the standards.
In pruning, for a general rule, cut hard back to an eye pointing outwards all the kinds that grow
strongly, and do not cut the weaker growers quite so hard. If roses are only wanted for decoration, the
wood can be left a little longer. New growths which will interfere with the admission of light and air in
the centre, can be removed to encourage the promising shoots (say end of May). After pruning is done
the winter mulch may be lightly dug in and the beds raked down for the summer.
In Climbing Roses the long summer shoots should be tied in, and at pruning time tip them back say
two feet, and then cut away as much of the old and weakly wood as can be spared, as it is from the vigorous
young shoots the best flowers are taken.
With Roses on walls it is best to take them down, then prune and regulate the growths, and replace them.
Treat Pillar Roses in the same way ; Banksian Roses are best pruned back after they flower.
The Mosses, Provence and Summer Roses only require superfluous old shoots removed in summer (after
blooming) and then tip the shoots slightly back in March. The Austrian and Penzance Briars require the
same treatment, long shoots being left almost entire, till their glorious flower is over. China Roses are
best cut hard back, leaving all young wood.
WATERING.
If the beds have been thoroughly made they need not be watered until May, and only then in very dry
weather, but growers for exhibition should prepare some liquid manure and nse once a fortnight, with pure
water between times, but only when the soil is dry. Syringing in the evenings of warm days is beneficial.
Summer CULTuRE.
As soon as the flowers fade pick them off, and after July the strong shoots may be shortened a little
when a second growth will give flowers in Autumn; some judgment is required in this matter, as many of
the stronger growers will not stand this treatment, but such free kinds as La France and Marie Baumann
benefit by it.
In Villa Gardens it is a necessity to have other flowers in the Rose beds, and if the borders are freely
manured in November and well and deeply dug, they give fair results. Where planted on grass some
manure should be dug in in November, and a top dressing of Clay’s or other fertilizer scratched in and well
watered will serve to feed the plants in Summer.
Time For PLANTING.
Where it can be done the end of November is the best season, or at any time in the winter when the
ground is in good condition. "When Roses cannot be planted till March they should be watered in and the
roots ‘‘slubbed,”’ that is, some clay or soil made into a thick soup should be applied by dipping the roots
into it; this prevents droughts affecting them; late planted Roses should not be pruned back till « month
after planting, when the roots will be taking’to the new soil.
Insxcts.
Caterpillars and Maggots must be destroyed by hand picking; Green fly is easily got rid of by syringing
with the following mixture, Quassia 4 ozs. boiled in 4 quarts of water, adding 2 ozs. soft soap, and then mix
well with 2 or 3 gallons clear warm water.
Do not syringe when the sun is shining on the Roses, it is well to apply the dressing in the evening and
syringe with clear water early the next morning, to remove the dead Aphides and wash off any soapy
appearance.
Red Rust is not readily cured, but as it comes after flowering time and is not a permanent injury, it
need not cause anxiety. ;
Tus Best Boox on Roses.—Without doubt, the most practical and copious work yet published, is that

YELLOW, AND OTHER TEA SCENTED ROSES.
Dwarfs, 12/0, selected plants 18/0 from open ground.
Pot Plants, 12/0 to 30/0 per dozen—put out from May to August—flower freely in Autumn, and become well
established before Winter.
Standard and Half-Standard Trees, 2/0 to 2/6. Dijon Race, 2/0 each.
Teas are a favourite class of Roses, eminent for their delicate colour,-delicious fragrance, and elegant
buds. Some succeed as Standards, but all prefer the protection of a wall or fence: when planted in the open
ground the beds should be raised, and the surface of the soil should be covered with some light material to
protect their roots in winter. A sure and safe plan of wintering Teas is to earth up the plants (like celery)
to nine inches high, removing the soil in April, and pruning well back; while Standards may have their
heads protected with Fern or Spruce Fir boughs tied in them.
As Pot Plants under glass and for forcing Tea Roses are unsurpassed. Established Plants, for this
purpose, 18/0 to 30/0 per dozen ; Specimen Plants, 5/0 to 10/6.
