ANNOUNCEMENT
— Oe
THE JEWELL NURSERY CO.
N the year eighteen hundred and sixty-eight Dr. P. A. Jewell established this Nursery, in
the picturesque valley of Lake Pepin. His brother-in-law, J. M. Underwood, who is now
president of this Company, was then employed as his foreman. They did not seek a location
where fruit grew easily and in abundance, and where there were no obstacles to its propaga-
tion, but chose to join the advance guard and, if possible, lead to success in its culture.
The business was started with only ten acres of land, but they possessed a large stock of
determination. For ten years the management of Dr. Jewell brought great credit tothe Nursery and
rapid progress was made in developing those varieties best suited to this cold climate. Upon his
death in 1878 the business passed into the hands of J. M. Underwood, and in 1884 The Jewell
Nursery Company was regularly incorporated under the general laws of the state of Minnesota to
transact the business of growing and selling nursery stock and pure bred Holstein-Fresian cattle.
We have grown from the start, and, although we have passed through severe experiences,
we are now strong and vigorous like the stock we supply. Hundreds of acres are devoted to the
Nursery, the Holsteins, and farming. Our packing houses, green houses, cellars, and offices are
commodious, covering an area of 30,000 square feet, and are models of comfort and convenience.
The first year it only required one horse to do the work; now it takes thirty. A large force
of men are employed and we annually pay out for labor in the Nursery more than $25,000. It
takes over 200,000 feet of lumber annually to box the stock we sell, amounting to over one hundred
and fifty car loads. We have spent more money in experimenting and developing those varieties
of fruits and flowers best adapted to this climate than all other experimentors combined. We
mention these facts to show that we have been working for the best interests of Minnesota and the
whole Northwest, and that we have been successful and enjoy the confidence and liberal patronage
of the public. ‘
For the future we promise to keep fully up with the times. Our planting this season will
amount to over two million trees and plants. Some of the principal items are four hundred and fifty
thousand apple, ten thousand plum, one hundred thousand shade, ornamental, and evergreen trees,
one hundred thousand grape, two hundred and fifty thousand currants, two hundred thousand
raspberries and blackberries, and one hundred thousand ornamental shrubs, climbing vines, and roses.
A pleasant adjunct to our Nursery business is our fine herd of Holstein-Fresian cattle,
Those interested in stock raising will do well to get our list and prices of this breed of cattle. The
Holsteins are large, healthy, vigorous, and handsome, and, while they stand at the head of all
breeds for milk and butter, they take on flesh easily and make excellent beef.
Wiustratioms.—In order that our customers may become better acquainted with us and our
place of business, we have introduced some engravings from photographs that faithfully portray
our surroundings and show our excellent facilities for doing business. We shall be glad at all times
to have our friends visit us and enjoy the various features of interest that are always found ina
first-class, well-conducted nursery.
Thanking our friends and patrons for their past encouragement and patronage, we are,
Respectfully,
THE JEWELL NURSERY CO.

Suggestions as to the Location, Planting and Care.
LOCATION.
The best is a high, northern exposure. If you do not have such a location, select varieties
best adapted to the one you have. Some of the best orchards in the state are on a southern
exposure, but the soil is good and their care of the best. High ground is desirable in order to secure
a good circulation of air.
SOIL.
A clay sub-soil is best. It prevents drying out. If you do not havea clay soil, mulch heavily to
keep the ground cool and moist.
LAYING OUT GROUND.
To lay out ground properly for an orchard, set stakes five feet long around the outside, the
proper distance apart, then set a row each way through the middle and in line with the outside
stakes. Then dig the holes and set the trees by sighting through to the stakes. In this way the
trees will be in perfect row in all directions.
Where a straight row in the garden is required, use a long, one-half inch rope, tie each end to a
short handled dibber and thrust them into the ground stretching the rope very tight, walk along on
the rope and it will leave a nice mark to set by.
DIBBER.
A very useful implement is the dibber, which is made in the following manner. The blade should
be made from one-fourth inch iron, eight and one-half inches long, two and one-half inches wide
when finished; drawit out on both sides to an edge and to a point and with a stout shank six inches
long. The handle should be four and one-half feet long, two inches in diameter, and a ferule on one
end. Insert the shank of the blade in the handle. With this a man can make the holes easily at one
motion. A boy puts the plant in and with another thrust of the dibber the hole is tightly closed.
For setting large plants a spade can be used instead of a dibber.
PLANTING.
Before planting cut trees and shrubs back vigorously and trim off injured roots. Mud the roots
well in thick mud and plant before it has time to dry. Never expose roots or tops to sun or wind
before planting. Holes for trees should be large and deep unless the soil is wet and heavy, when
they should be set the usual depth.
How to Set a Tree or Shrub.— Mind this rule and you will succeed. Sift some fine, rich
dirt among the roots, just enough to cover so the boot will not injure them, then with the heel and
all the strength and weight you can command, stamp the earth down until it is solid, then fillina
little more dirt and repeat the stamping until the hole is nearly full; then fill the rest of the hole
with loose dirt and leave it with the soil pitching toward the tree from all directions. If it is
properly set you cannot pullit up. Do not try to put all the earth back, but throw away some.
The same general rules apply to setting everything, from a strawberry plant to a shade tree.
First, do not expose them, Second, mud the roots; it is better than pouring on
6 THE JEWELL NURSERY COMPANY’S
water. Third, set firmly so that you cannot pull up the tree or plant without spoil-
ing it. Fourth, leave ground loose on top and slauting toward the tree or plant.
CULTIVATION.
It is always best to cultivate. Keep the ground loose on top and clean; do not cultivate deep.
Cease cultivating trees in July and allow them to ripen.
MULCHING.
Where you cannot cultivate, mulch thoroughly; put it on thick for three feet around the tree so
as to keep the ground moist and cool, but do not let it touch the tree as it is liable to heat and burn
the bark.
It has been found an excellent thing to mulch raspberries and blackberries with green clover;
cut it when in full bloom and spread it on two to four inches thick and twelve to eighteen inches on
each side of the row. ‘This seryes to keep the ground cool and is the cheapest fertilizer known.
PRUNING.
June is the best time to prune. In Minnesota do not prune much, and avoid cutting large limbs.
SUN SCALD. )
We give the methods most in favor to prevent sun scald. First, lean the tree toward the south
so that the rays of the sun at mid-day will not focus on the body of the tree. Second, wrap the
body with burlap. Third, make a screen of lath woven together with wire and put around the
body of the tree.
SPRAYING.
Spray and get Perfect Fruit.—Beyond a doubt, the codling moth, canker worm,
apple and plum curculio, pear and quince leaf blight, grape rot and mildew, currant worm, potato
blight or rot, etc.,can be prevented or destroyed by spraying with the proper mixtures at the proper
times, with the right kind of a pump. The mixtures are inexpensive and easily prepared. The in-
gredients can be got in any town, and any farmer or fruit grower can combine them. They cost
little. The pumps are not nearly so high-priced as many suppose, and with ordinary care a pump
willlast for years. The operation of spraying is simple, inexpensive, and so effective that it cannot
be too strongly urged. It is safe to say that it will double an income from an orchard. No fruit
grower can afford to dispense withit. Worm-eaten apples need not and should not be longer offered
in our market. If produced at all, let them be fed to stock.
What to Use.—The following will be found reliable formulas tor preventing leaf blight and
destructive insects which infest fruit trees, etc.:
Apples.—To destroy the codling moth, canker worm and apple curculio, use one pound of
London Purple to 160 gallons of water. Spray the trees soon after the blossoms fall, when the
apples are the size of a pea. The second application should be made a week or ten days after the
time of the first, and the third application should be made in a week or ten days from the time of the
second spraying. The third application is made necessary when the first is followed by a heavy
rain. In preparing the London Purple for use, mix thoroughly with sufficient water to a paste-like
consistency; then stir into a pail of water and allow to stand over night. Strain this through a
fine sieve or a coarse cloth into the distributing barrel or tank. A kerosene barrel is a convenient
vessel for this purpose.
Plums and Cherries.—Plum Curculio.—Use one-fourth pound of London Purple to 50
gallons of water; spray soon after the petals have fallen and again ten days later. Three-fourths of
the cherries liable to injury by plum curculio can be saved by spraying as above. Enough of the
plum crop can be saved by the same treatment to insure a good yield. There is no danger to health
fromits use. Spraying is the cheapest and most practical method of preventing injuries by these
insects.
Currants, Raspberries, Strawberries and Gooseberries.—Currant worms
and the slugs and insects, which infest raspberry and gooseberry bushes and strawberry vines, may
be destroyed by one ounce of powdered white hellebore mixed with two gallons of water.
Peaches should be treated very carefully. Use Paris Green instead of London Purple on this
crop, seeing that it is kept constantly stirred; and do not make the mixture stronger than one ounce
to 15 gallons of water. Spray late in the afternoon or on cloudy days rather than in the hot sun-
shine.
To Prevent Potato Blight or Rot.—Use Bordeaux Mixture, same as for grape rot,
DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE. 7
with the exception of using more water. Dissolve six pounds of sulphate of copper in 32 gallons of
water and slake four pounds of fresh lime in 12 gallonsof water. When the last mixture has cooled,
pour it slowly into the copper solution, taking care to mix the fluids thoroughly by constant stir-
ring. When the vines are about ten to twelve inches high, spray and continue the operation every
two weeks. By mixing with the Bordeaux Mixture a solution of Paris Green or London Purple,
one pound to 200 gallons of the mixture, the fungus and potato bug may be doctored at one opera-
tion.
Spraying Grape Wines.—It has been demonstrated that the diseases of downy mildew,
powdery mildew, black rot, and anthracose can be controlled by intelligent spraying.
Bordeaux Mixture is a sure preventative.
Bordeaux Mixture (A).—Dissolve sixteen pounds of sulphate of copper in twenty-two
gallons of water; in another vessel slake thirty pounds of lime in six gallons of water. When the
last mixture has cooled, pour it slowly into the copper solution, taking care to mix the fluids
thoroughly by constant stirring.
It is well to have this compound prepared some days before it is required for use. It should be
well stirred before applying.
A solution containing the ingredients in the following proportions has been recommended for
general use.
Bordeaux Mixture (B).—Dissolve six pounds of copper in sixteen gallons of water, and
slake four pounds of fresh lime in six gallons of water. When cool, mix the solutions as described
above.
Treatment.—aAs a first step every precaution should be taken to remove as much of the
infectious material as possible. With this object in view, the old leaves and rotten berries should be
carefully collected in the fall or winter and burned or buried. Trimmings should also be burned, as
they often harbor thousands of minute spores or reproductive bodies of the fungus. The Bordeaux
Mixture has proven beyond a doubt to be the most reliable preventative for black rot. “In all cases
it must be remembered that these treatments are preventatives, and being such it is sheer folly to
wait until the enemy appears before beginning to fight.
In the spring, after the vineyard has been pruned and put in order by the plow, but before
vegetation starts, spray the vines thoroughly with the Bordeaux Mixture, formula (A). The object
of this spraying is to destroy any spores of the fungus that may be hidden away in the crevices of
the bark. About ten days before the flowers open, spray all the green parts of the vines with Bor-
deaux Mixture, formula (B), taking care to wet the foliage thoroughly. Spray again with the same
preparation when the flowers are opening, repeating the operation every three weeks until the fruit
begins to color. The necessity of beginning the treatment early cannot be too strongly urged. For
applying these remedies, spraying pumps with specially constructed nozzles are necessary.
To destroy woolly and apple aphis and hark lice, suctorial or sap-sucking species of insects,
including chinch bugs, squash bugs, plant lice, leaf hoppers, aphis and bark lice, use the Kerosene
Emulsion,
Kerosene Enmiulsion is one of the most useful of the insecticides, and may be easily
prepared as follows: Dissolve one-half pound of hard soap (best whale oil soap) in four pints of
water by boiling. When the soap is all dissolved, remove from the fire and add eight pints of
kerosene and agitate the whole briskly until a permanent mixture is obtained. Thisis best done by
using a force pump and pumping the mixture with force back into the vessel that containsit. The
Emulsion may be diluted to the desired strength and used at once, or it may be allowed to stand
and be used from when needed. The strength ordinarily used is prepared by diluting one part of the
Emulsion in ten or twelve parts of water, which makes the kerosene about one-twentieth part of
the whole.
PROTECTION FROM BIRDS.
The best way to protect cherry trees, grapes, and raspberries from birds is to cover them with
bird netting which is made for this purpose from strong linen twine soaked in tanning liquid. It is
durable, and may be obtained of George Robinson, Rye, Sussex Co., England. Mosquito netting
can also be used.
PICKING AND MARKETING.
Pick fruit carefully without bruising, when it is dry; throw away the worthless fruit and make
two grades of the rest. Save enough of the best to give your family all they want three
times a day, and sell the rest,
8 THE JEWELL NURSERY COMPANY’S
KEEPING.
Fruit will keep best in a cool, dry room. Apples should be barreled up tight.
A rule to find the number of plants required for an acre.-—The number of square feet in an acre
is 43,560. Divide this amount by the number of square feet required for each plant. Thus to find
how many currants are required for an acre planted 4 feet by 6 feet: 6 times 4 equals 24; 43,560
divided by 24 equals 1,815—a proper distance to plant.
In Minnesota fruit trees do not grow to be as large as in the Southern or Eastern states, and
experience shows that it is better to plant them near to each other and then thin them out when
they are too thick. We have adopted the distances here given, but in southern locations it will be
best to set farther apart.

10 THE JEWELL NURSERY COMPANY’S
HYBRID APPLES.
These are quite profitable for market, coming into bearing early. Some of the varieties are not
only good for culinary purposes, but are especially desirable for table use.
There are several points to which we wish to call attention and on which we base our recom-
mendation of these hardy fruits. They can be planted on any kind of soil, and in the most exposed
situations with perfect safety. They will stand the severity of the changes of the coldest weather.
They will come into bearing very early, often in the second year from planting, and bear every year.
They are very productive, giving large crops of beautiful fruit. Some of them are pre-eminently des-
sert fruits, being of superior quality and strikingly handsome. They can be dried, cooked, canned or
preserved with the skin on, saving a great amount of trouble. The size of the fruit varies from one
and one-half to two and one-half inches in diameter, being large enough to quarter and core for dry-
ing, etc.
The following are the most valuable varieties:
Their origin is supposed to have been from seeds of the Siberian Crab fertilized by standard
sorts. They possess the merits of extreme hardiness, superior quality of fruit, and of fair size con-
‘sidering their ancestry. :
Karly Strawberry.—Tree a good grower, symmetrical, hardy, fruit size of Transcendent,
red striped, crisp, juicy; excellent for eating. Season August.
‘VY Whitney.—One of the best growers, straight, symmetrical, abundantly supplied *with fibrous
roots. Fair specimens of the fruit measure seven and three-fourths inches; a delicious eating apple,
color bright carmine, very showy; flesh firm, juicy and rich. Said to be of superior value for drying
aad canning; probably the best of the Hybrids. September.
Orange.—Crisp, juicy and pleasant; a deep orange in color; a slow grower as a nursery tree;
quality number one. October.
™ Minnesota.—Hardy, a medium grower; fruit larger than Golden Russet, light color with
blush on sunny side; quality excellent. In size, beauty and keeping qualities the best of the winter
varieties. January and February.
\y Dartt.—A seedling Hybrid, introduced by Prof. E. H. S. Dartt, superintendent of the Experi-
mental Fruit Farm, Owatonna, Minn., and named by him. The tree is a fine grower, very hardy,
quality of fruit good, size that of a Transcendent; a deep crimson when ripe. January.
WHyslop.—aAn old and popular Crab, a good grower and very hardy; fruit larger than Tran-
scendent, deep crimson in color, flesh white tinged with red, an abundant bearer and a good keeper.
January. €
VGibb Crab.—Originated by G. P. Peffer, Pewaukee, Wis. Fruit color of the orange, quality
said to be of the very best, and for eating out of hand fully as good as the best peach; a valuable
acquisition.
Vv Transcendemt.—The well known and superior hardiness of this tree has by common consent
-made it the standard for hardiness; a vigorous and rapid grower, bears abundantly and the fruit is
highly esteemed for jelly, preserves, etc. Its only fault is a tendency to blight. Should be planted
away from general orchard.
Beach’s Sweet.—The tree is a strong grower and an abundant bearer; fruit large,
measuring seven and one-half inches in circumference, a bright, rich carmine when ripened in the sun;
unexcelled in quality and superior as an eating or baking apple to the Talman Sweet.
Wirgimia.—A fine grower and a desirable stock for top-working; in quality resembles the
Transcendent but not so subject to blight.
\. Martha.—Gideon’s new seedling, No. 5, from Minnesota. Immensely vigorous, hardy,
producing every year. Mr. Gideon says, ‘‘ For sauce it surpasses any apple we ever grew.’’ A great
acquisition. October.
‘\ Lowe (Iowa).—A vigorous grower, hardy, young and annual bearer; color green with blush;
size and shape of Whitney; mild, sub-acid, crisp, juicy. January.
™ Tonka.—It is as hardy as the Siberian Crab, free from blight, will stand drouth and cold
well. Itis a tree for the extreme north or windy sections. The fruit is sub-acid, perfect in form, of a
bright red or scarlet color. Fruitsin great abundance. It has been growing and fruiting in Mani-
toba for years, far north of Minnesota or Dakota.

The above are illustrations of a “Wilder Medal” awarded to us at the meeting of the American
Pomological Society, at Washington, D. C., for a collection of beautiful Thompson’s Seedling Apples.
On page 11 of our catalogue you will find a history of these wonderful apples.
The following are extracts from letters, Horticultural Reports, &c., by prominent pomologists.
They are only a few of the many good words of praise that have been bestowed upon them, but
they indicate the high esteem in which the Thompson’s Seedling Apples are held by those who know
their many excellent qualities.
EXTRACTS FROM THE ORIGINAL LETTERS.
OFFICE OF THE POMOLOGIST,
U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Washington, D. C.
“T am both delighted and surprised at seeing these specimens from your part of the country. I
did not suppose that so far north in Iowa there could be produced so many seedling varieties of such
good character. As everyone well knows, the great difficulty is to find trees that will stand the
severe winters, and this you seem to have done; at least for the past twenty-five years. det Ca
The great object now is to get varieties which are hardy in tree, which bear fruit of good quality
that will keep late in the winter. I have great hopes that among your seedlings there are several
such, and I wish to give them the very widest notoriety, and hope that you will give me any points
of interest about them.
H. E. VAN DEMAN,
United States Pomologist.
Report of Prof. J. L. Budd, to the Iowa State Horticultural Society.
“Taken as alot, they are the most remarkable lot of sesillnngs apples ever grown in one orchard
that I have ever seen, with possibly one exception.
“Every horticulturist in the state will agree that they are safer trees to plant than the
specialties offered by the eastern nurserymen.”’ :

SPECIALTIES.
Appreciating the fact that we must depend upon our native resources for the best flavored, the
hardiest and most desirable fruit, it has been our constant aim to investigate and procure promising
varieties, and having tested to our entire satisfaction the following apples, we procured, propagated
and now ofter trees of the Okabena and Thompson’s Seedlings, under the following guarantee:
That each tree sent out, will bear as an evidence of its genuineness, a metal tag on which will be
indelibly stamped the name of the tree and our registered trade mark. This tag will be so affixed
that it will remain until the tree is in fruiting.
VTHE OKABENA originated on the banks of Lake Okabena, near Worthington, Nobles
Co., Minn. A seedling of the Duchess fertilized by the Wealthy from seed furnished by Peter M.
Gideon in 1871. The parent tree is perfectly sound and thrifty and is an annual and enormous
bearer. The tree is the finest grower in the nursery we have ever seen; straight, symmetrical and
finely rooted. The bark is a deep, rich wine color, not subject to sun scald or blight. Grows equally
well from grafts or buds, and is an iron-clad in the fullest sense of the term. The fruit is medium
size, slightly flat, highly colored when exposed to the sun, and it invariably has a solid band ot
crimson extending from stem to blossom end; this varies in width from a sixteenth to a quarter
of an inch, and is as infallible a mark of the Okabena, as the hair line is of the Tallman Sweet. The
fruit combines the good qualities of both the Duchess and Wealthy; fine grained, choice flavored,
and a good keeping apple. Season December.
For full account of Seedling Commission see reports of Minn. State Horticultural Society, year
of 1887, page 136.

THOMPSON’S SEEDLING APPLES.—0ur attention was called to this remark-
able orchard, located in Grundy Co., Iowa, in 1884, and in 1885 we consummated the purchase and
obtained absolute right to propagate and sell trees from this wonderful orchard.
The amateur student of horticulture can find much of interest in investigating the workings of
nature in this case. The history is as follows:
J. S. B. Thompson and wife Phoebe were residents of New York State. They came to the young
state of Iowa in 1859, and located on the farm where this orchard now stands. In 1861, obedient
to the call of his country, Mr. Thompson went to the front, remaining there until the close of the
war. In the fall of 1861 Mrs. Thompson returned to New York to visit the old homestead, and while
there, with native thrift, endeavored to temporarily supply the lack of fruitinthenew Western home by
drying a supply of apples. Her father owned a famous seedling orchard, and made it a practice daily
to cull the choicest specimens for her use, and suggested to his daughter that the seeds be saved and
planted in Iowa upon her return; this was done the following spring, and they started fairly well,
and from a pint of seeds about four hundred trees grew and remained in the nursery row fighting
for life with the weeds, the ravages of the cattle, and the unfavorable conditions of the crowded
nursery row. In 1866 about three hundred were transplanted to the orchard site where they now
stand, many of them being now fifteen inches in diameter, their tops twenty to forty feet in height.
Fully half of the original planting still stands, in spite of the unfavorable location. The soil is black
prairie, sloping to the south and east, and hemmed in to the east, north and west by dense groves of
willow and maple, the southern line of the orchard being a quaking bog. In proof of the trying na-
ture of the location, and the superior hardiness of the seedling, we will state that nearly every known
so-called iron-clad apple and crab has been set in the same orchard and all are dead or are living
wrecks, while on the contrary many of the seedlings are perfect in wood, bark and growth. There
are among them wonderful developments in size, color, quality and season.
Mr. Thompson has exhibited specimens of these new seedling apples at many county fairs, at the
state fairs of lowa and Minnesota, also at the annual state and district horticultural meetings held
in lowa and Minnesota. He has been universally successful in being awarded premiums, and their
superior excellence of flavor and superb keeping qualities have attracted general attention wherever
shown.
In 1891 we exhibited them at the meeting of the American Pomological Society held in Wash-
ington, and they were awarded a Wilder bronze medal, a cut of whichis here given. *
We claim superior merit, from the derivation of the trees; being seedlings from seedlings and by
far the strongest and most vigorous nursery growers we have ever propagated.
12 THE JEWELL NURSERY COMPANY’S
Interested purchasers are requested to address Hon. J. S. B. Thompson, Grundy Center, Iowa,
for more complete information.
We believe firmly that the above specialties offer the solution to the question, ‘‘What shall we set
in orchards in the northern fruit belt ?”
We have placed them on trial in various experimental stations, and have tested them under most
trying circumstances, and now offer the following varieties, which are satisfactory, and embrace a
fine collection of early and late, sweet and sour:
Y Maple.—Handsome tree, healthy and a good bearer. Fruit medium and rather flat; delicious
sweet; color yellow, August. ~
\y Bremer.—Fruit oblong, yellowish green with red splash; juicy and sub-acid. A good eating

PLUMS.
€
In the wild state plums that produce fine fruit
abundantly are found in groups or clumps. Single trees
removed from such groups have been found to be un-
fruitful, until fertilized by neighboring trees. For this
reason we advise to plant in groupsorclusters. ‘To form
a group of trees mark out a plat of ground forty feet
square according to this diagram and set a tree at each
number, thus bringing the trees in close proximity to
each other. The pollen will be conveyed from tree to
tree and fertilization ensue.
Another important item is to set different varieties
near each other so that those kinds that have imper=
fect blossoms may become fertilized by the polien from
trees with perfect blossoms. rs Se ea CS
Y Forest Garden.—Hardy, bears profusely, ripens from the first to the twenty-fifth of
August, one of the earliest plums; large, being one to one and one-half inches in diameter, oblong;

productive. September.
Imperial Gage.—Rather large, oval, greenish; flesh juicy, rich and delicious; parts from
the stone. Tree a vigorous grower; very productive and one of the best of plums. Middle of
August.
14 THE JEWELL NURSERY COMPANY’S
APRICO@@S:
Plant fifteen feet apart each way. There is no fruit more delicious or beautiful than the Apricot.
The hardiest of all the Apricots, the Russian, has stood 30 degrees below zero without injury, while
the Moorpark and Breda were frozen to the ground, and it is free from all disease, worms and insects
that have been so destructive to trees and fruit of the peach and plum. We have seen a great many
of these trees growing in the Mennonite settlements of Nebraska, and have the first tree to see that
was not perfectly healthy, vigorous and symmetrical. Fruit medium size and of the best quality,
and brings the highest price in the market.
Its habit of growth is dwarf in nature, and is easily protected. The quality of the fruit is 60
fine that it is well worth the trial and trouble of amateurs to experiment with it.

mByve(Ciel SS),
It has not been thought possible to grow peaches in Minnesota, but our venerable and pro-
gressive friend, Peter M. Gideon, of Excelsior, has demonstrated that it can be done successfully, and
now there are a number of planters in the state who are following his example. A good many
peaches were raised last year and some fine specimens were put up for the World’s Fair.
How to Grow Thema.—We quote from the characteristic pen of Mr. Gideon:
PEACH CULTURE IN MINNESOTA.
“Perhaps it would be of interest to many of your readers to learn how my peach orchard came
through the last winter—the fourth winter under cover. Small, one-year-old trees when set are now
very large for their age, though laid down every winter. The prospect of a large crop per tree is
good, the trees are in fine condition and full of bloom, almost open, and if late frosts don’t interfere
will load to their utmost capacity to bear.
The fact is demonstrated that peach culture is a success in Minnesota.
Just what my process of peach culture is has been published in various journals, but as this may
reach thousands who have not seen the account I will here rehearse. I prefer small, one-year-old
trees with whole roots. Dig the hole the proper size and depth, a little deeper than for ordinary
planting, then make a cone of solid earth across the middle of the hole in line with the row, or in the
direction the tree is to be laid down, then divide the roots into two equal parts or as near as can be,
each division as compact as possible, and saddle them over the cone of the dirt, then fill up and pack
the dirt as in other planting. And in the fall when you wish to lay them down dig on the side to
which you want the tree to turn and it will lop over as if ona hinge. A little hay or leaves under
to keep the small branches off the naked ground, fill in the dirt around the roots, over

which put leaves or some other litter, and over that litter and the entire tree put about six inches
of hay or its equivalent in straw or corn stalks. And in the spring remove the covering and the
dirt, litt the tree and replace the dirt around the roots. And to avoid mice I use strychnine bait
under cover of the tree. To keep the bait dry I use two pieces of boards, one on top of the other,
on that I put about a spoonful of dry corn meal, and over it dust the strychnine made fine as dust,
and over all put two boards nailed edges together to form a roof, and the trees are safe.’’—Peter M.-
Gideon, Excelsior, Minnesota.
Alberta.—A seedling of Chinese cling, but entirely free. Large; yellow with red cheek; juicy
d of high quality, flesh yellow and melting. A very valuable sort. September.
‘Aammsdem.—Ripens three weeks before the Hale’s Early. Fruit rather larger than Hale’s
Early, roundish, a little flattened with a slight suture. Color red, beautifully shaded and mottled
with a very dark red, nearly covering the greenish white ground. Flesh white with a delicious
flavor. Middle to end of June.
Crawford’s Early (Early Melocoton).—Very large; yellow with red cheek, handsome;
esh yellow, excellent quality; vigorcus and productive. Popular. Middle of August.
Crawford’s Late.—Of the largest size; skin yellow with red cheek; tree vigorous and
productive; one of the finest and best, well liked everywhere. Last of September.
Crosbey.— Bright yellow, medium size, fine quality, free stone with small pit, and enormous
bearer, and fruits every year because its fruit buds are more hardy than most other varieties; it is
almost an iron-clad, for it fruits when all others fail. If you want to be sure of peaches every year

ast of September.
Wonderful.—Of New Jersey origin; large, smooth, almost globular, with a faint suture and
slightly pointed apex, very regular and uniform in both size and shape, even upon overloaded trees
of the richest golden yellow, largely overspread with vivid carmine with marblings of crimson,
beautiful in the extreme; flesh yellow, rich, highly flavored and delicious, exceedingly firm, parts
from the stone perfectly and dry, and is bright red around the pit. Its season is late to very late
ripening in central New Jersey the second week in October and keeping in good condition as long as
three weeks after gathered. The tree is a strong, vigorous grower and a regular annual bearer, and
so prolific as to require the limbs to be braced to sustain the weight of fruit.
> RAW BERRIES:
In their season everyone in the family should have two dishes of strawberries for breakfast, a
like amount for supper and a shortcake for dinner.
SOIL AND LOCATION.
Any well fertilized and well cultivated land will do. A northern exposure is thought to be a
little less liable to injury by late frosts in the spring.
DISTANCE TO PLANT.
In small gardens a good way is to plant them in hills eighteen inches apart. For field culture
plant in rows four feet apart and one foot in the row.
18 THE JEWELL NURSERY COMPANY’S
PREPARING PLANTS AND PLANTING.
Cut off the stems, leaving one or two of the smallest leaves, and cut off the roots, leaving about
four inches. This should be done in the cellar or a shady, cool place. Have pail or box of rather
thick mud, and mud the roots, placing them in a shallow box, tops out. If it is a dry, windy time
set them in the cellar and wait until just before a rain for planting. See directions in front of
catalogue.
PISTILLATE WARIETIES.
In setting pistillate varieties be sure and set staminate varieties near them, either mixing them,
or plant three rows of pistillate, then one of staminate. The staminate variety furnishes the pollen
which fertilizes its own and the blossoms of the pistillate plant.
CULTIVATION.
This should be done once a week for the hill culture. It must be done witha hoe. Keep all run-
ners pinched off so as to get a strong, vigorous plant in each hill. In field culture use a small tooth
shallow cultivator, and when the runners start, direct them so as to fill all vacancies and form a bed
one foot each side of the row; this will leave a walk two feet wide. It is best to cultivate one way
only so as not to double the runners back and break them.
PROTECTION.
In the fall when the ground is first frozen, cover it with three inches of marsh hay or clean straw
ryeis best. In the spring rake the covering into the paths and around the plants to keep the heavy
rains from washing dirt on to the fruit. Pull out all weeds that start.
SUMMER CARE.
Immediately after fruiting mow off the tops of the plants, rake them and the straw off the beds
and burn them, then with a sharp plow turn over the edges of each row, into the paths, leaving a
strip of plants eight inches wide. Cultivate the ground and grow new plants as before for the next
year’s fruiting. Another way is to set anew bed and plow up the old one. It does not pay to keep
an old and matted bed. :
WVilsom’s Albamy (S).—An old and reliable variety, very abundant bearer. The most
widely known and universally successtul strawberry.
Captain Jack (S).—Plant vigorous and very productive. Berries roundish, scarlet. A val-
uable market berry, early; blossoming about the same time as the Warfield, it makes a good fertilizer

N Sharpless (S).—Very large, average specimen under good cultivation measuring one and one-
; half inches in diameter. Generally oblong, narrowing to
he apex; irregular, often flattened; clear light red, with a
Smooth shining surface, firm, sweet with a delicious aroma;
vigorous, hardy and very productive when raised in hills
with the runners cut off. Perhaps the best farmers’ berry
for home consumption known to horticulturists.
Jessie (S).—The best berry for either home or market
ever introduced. Itis faultless. The variety was originat-
ed from seed of the Sharpless, by F. W. Loudon, of Janes-
ville, Wis. The plant is large, healthy, free from rrst, a
vigorous grower and wonderfully productive. Blossoms
perfect, fruit very large, sometimes wedge-shaped, but never
cox-combed or mis-shapen. Color bright red all over; in
quality, one of the best.
Gandy (S).—Large and handsome, roundish conical;
uniform in size and shape; bright scarlet, firm, fair quality; 5
SHARPLESS, vigorous and productive; a good late variety.

Parker Earle (S).—A splendid new berry which originated in Texas, and named in honor
of Mr. Parker Earle; uniformly large, regular, conical with a short neck; color glossy, scarlet
crimson; ripens all over; flesh moderately firm, no hollow core, quality good; flowers perfect,
always setting perfect fruit. Plant very vigorous, healthy and remarkably productive. It is said to
have yielded at the rate of 15,000 quarts per acre. Its robust habit will, we think, render it
capable of enduring extremes of heat and cold, and to thrive on a great variety of soils. This is
one of the most promising varieties introduced recently and it seems destined to become popular
over a wide area of country. In spite of thelong continued drought which prevailed in this locality,
it has done admirably on our grounds the last season, growing vigorously and producing a very
heavy crop of good fruit, Season medium to late,

quality good; season early, continuing good through the season.
20 THE JEWELL NURSERY COMPANY’S
Michel’s Early (Staminate).—Is the earliest straw-
berry and is proving itself a valuable pollenizer for: Warfield,
and equal to it as a plant maker. It has the flavor of the
wild berry; medium size; good flavor; fairly productive.
Have planted largely of it this season.
Beder Wood (S).—Originated at Moline, Ill. By
some considered the very best early berry. It is immensely
productive. The plant is a good healthy grower and sends
out a large number of runners. Fruit large, conical, bright
red and of excellent quality. For near market and home use
this will be one of the most satisfactory.
Pearl (S).—This is a good berry; sweet even before it is
fully ripe; and being of regula rconical form with a slight neck
it is fine looking. It is of fair size, glossy red, firm and al-
ways salable. 2
\V Crawford (S).—Plant large and stocky, dark green,
free from rust and a model of healthy, vigorous growth. It
has a magnificent, perfect blossom and is a great bearer. The fruit is never cockscombed or mis-
shapen, but the largest specimens are sometimes uneven on the surface. The color is a rich,
brilliant red, and it ripens all over. The flesh is firm and rich and of superior flavor, being both
sweet and rich. In appearance and quality it is a berry of decided character, and it would puzzle an
expert to point out a faultin either plant or fruit.
N Beebe (S).—Large, globular, good form, deep scarlet, fair quality. Plant vigorous with fine
oliage; desirable as a home berry. Mid-season.
N Workmiam (S).—Originated by S. S. Workman, Lake City, Minn. Strong grower; round;
dark red; sweet. A valuable variety that this veteran gardener claims is the best of all.
Louwlise (S).—The berries are of regular conical shape with broad calyx; color bright glossy
crimson, and size large. It is medium late with long season of bearing, and holds the large size of
the berries throughout the season. It is very productive, good constitution, foliage healthy, worthy
f trial.
Yam Demam (S).—Early; anew variety; very firm and promising; is grown and shipped
with the Warfield; about the same size and quality.
NE KE. FP. Roe (S).—A new late strawberry originated at Newburgh, New York. The only pro-
ductive, large, good, late berry yet introduced, yielding nearly double the fruit ot the old Kentucky
and one-third larger, firm and of the very best quality; the plant is a strong, vigorous grower, with
perfect flowers. First fruit picked on June 19th—the last July 19th. We are testing this variety.
PISTILLATE VARIETIES.
Warfield (P).—A seedling discovered by B. C. Warfield, of
Illinois, in 1883. It fruited in 1884, and a bed containing five square
feet yielded a quart every second day. The blossom is pistillate.
Plant a vigorous grower with long penetrating roots to resist
drought. It blossoms and ripens with the Crescent, and has tall
leaves that protect the blossoms from spring frosts. Single plants
have produced one hundred and ninety-five blossoms and berries. It
equals the Wilson as a shipper, and is superior to it in every other re-
ure We consider this as the coming market berry.
Crescent Seedling (P).—Large, conical, slightly depressed
at the apex, bright scarlet, flesh moderately firm, quality one of the
best. The plant is a vigorous grower and very productive. Ripens
early. It is represented to be the most productive variety in the
world; also that the berry averages about double the size of the Wil.
\ son throughout the season.
Bubach (No. 5) (P).—Fruit large and handsome, roundish,
conical, bright scarlet, moderately firm,-of fair quality. Planta
strong grower with large, healthy foliage, and very productive; succeeds on light or heavy seil
WARFIELD.
DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE. 21
Desirable for home use and near-by market. One of the best of the later introductions. Season
early to medium.
Princess.—One of a number of seedlings grown by John C. Kramer, of La Crescent, Minn.,
from mixed seed sown in 1881. It was named by the Mineo Horticultural Society atits summer
meeting held at Minneapolis in 1885. The Princess took"the first prize at that meeting, although
there were fifteen other new seedlings competing. It was exhibited in Minnesota and Wisconsin and
invariably took the first prize. Mr. Kramer left a strip two rods long and five feet wide unpicked
so that visitors might see how it yielded, and when a member of the State Experiment Station
came to see it, four persons picked sixty-one quarts from it in one hour. By actual count three
of these quarts contained eighteen, twenty and twenty-two berries respectively. The same strip
yielded twenty-five quarts the next picking, and fourteen at a still later date. This is by no means
its best record, but this is good enough. The following is the substance of a letter written by
John S. Harris, of the Minnesota State Horticultural Experiment Station, to the secretary of the
State Horticultural Society: ‘‘Growing upon Mr. Kramer’s grounds, this new seedling, the
“Princess,’’ is the most promising strawberry that has ever come to my notice. The plants
are hardy, vigorous and enormously productive. It roots deep and stands drought well.
The fruit is very large, averaging larger than Jessie or Bubach’s
(No. 5), uniformly perfect in form, ripens all over at once,
and holds up its size well to the end of the season. Whenever
it has been exhibited in competition it has been awarded a
first premium over all others. The yield of fruit in 1888, upon
two square rods of ground, was at the rate of 825 bushels per
acre. The quality of the fruit is pronunced to be better than
ae Crescent.”’
Mavyerland (P).—Originated in 1882 by B. H. Haverland,
of Hamilton County, Ohio, from seed of the Crescent fertilized by
the Sharpless. During the past dry season it made a better
growth than any other variety. Nota spot of rust appeared on
it; wonderfully productive. The originator says, ‘‘It is, perhaps,
the most productive of any strawberry now cultivated. The
berries are firm, uniform in shape, very large and of most excellent
flavor, and bright red color. It sells more readily and brings a
better price than any other strawberry. The plants are very
large, healthy, vigorous and ripen their fruit evenly and early,
holding on through the season.”

DIRECTIONS.
Plant in rows north and south eight feet apart each way in soil that is well drained. Trim off
the top of the vine to one straight cane, plant in a slanting hole, inclining the vine in the direction
in which it is intended to be trained upon the trellis, in this position it can be laid down more easily
for winter protection.
Cultivate thoroughly and grow the first season without restraint. In the fall prune off all
branches and side shoots and cut the cane back to within one foot of the ground.
DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE. 23
WINTER PROTECTION.
Press the cane to the ground and cover with four or five inches of soil, and before cold weather
sets in cover with a mulch of straw or coarse manure.
TRAINING AND PRUNING.
The following spring a stake six feet long should be set close to each vine. Permit only one
bud to grow, and that the strongest. Keep all the buds rubbed off while small. Tie this growing
canetothe stake and when it reaches the top pinch off the end. The laterals or branches should also
be pinched off when they have reached the second leaf. The second fall cut off all of the laterals up
to the cane and cut the cane back to four feet. The vine may now be buried as for the previous fall.
It will be found convenient to take out a little earth close to the vine on the side toward which
itis to be bent. The following or third spring a trellis should be built. Set posts twelve feet apart,
on which fasten four wires, using No. 12 galvanized iron, the lowest one ten inches from the ground
and those above ten inches apart. They should be fastened with staples so as to allow the wires
free play. One end should be fastened securely. The other end post should have holes bored,
through which to pass the wire, fastening the wire to a roller so that the wire can be tightened by
turning the roller, which should be made on the principle of a windlass. When the wire is tight
secure the roller from turning by a pin in the post.
Along the lower wire of the trellis the vine should be tied. Two shoots will grow from nearly
every bud. Thin these out leaving the strongest ones at a distance of ten inches apart, when they
have reached the top wire pinch off the end. Also keep the laterals pinched back, leaving one new
leaf at each pinching. In pruning the third fall select the strongest cane near the extremity of the
vine that was tied in the spring to the lower wire, and cut it off at a length to reach the next vine
on the trellis. This cane must be tied to the lower wire the next spring and will complete the
permanent vine. In pruning do not cut within an inch of the bud. Bury as directed and subsequent
treatment will be same as previously described. The fourth fall the vine will consist of a main arm
extending along the lower wire to the next vine with spurs of two buds each ten inches apart.

flavor peculiar to itself that is esteemed by many.
\ Green Mountain or Winchell.—New white. A strong grower of excellent quality,
very hardy, healthy and productive, ripens two weeks earlier than the Concord. A very desirable
acquisition to our list of White Grapes. From the introducers we quote the following: “All we
have said in the past relative to the merits of this grape has been more than realized the past
season; while we ourselves believed we had in the Green Mountain a very superior grape yet as our
vines increase in age we are surprised at its wonderful productiveness, beauty of bunch and deli-
iousness of fruit.’’

COOSEBERRIES.
A deservedly popular fruit, making, as it does, the richest of canned fruit for winter consump-
tion, and also, as is the case with the improved varieties, being excellent’ for eating out of hand,
Set in rows six feet apart, four feet apart inrow. Cultivate clean. In November, for protection
from late, spring frosts, it is desirable to cover the bushes with coarse litter, or still better, bend
them gently to the ground and eover with earth. Thus treated abundant, annual crops will be
obtained. The American varieties, though not so large as the English sorts, are of fine quality and
re not subject to mildew.
Downing.—Fruit larger than Houghton, roundish, light green with distinct veins; skin
smooth; flesh rather soft, juicy and very good. Vigorous and productive.

Transparemt.—New, very hardy. Bushes of strong, vigorous growth, maturing and
fiuiting early, bears abundantly. Berries almost as large as Downing, pale greenish color, quality
good.
Vv Industry.—Thovgh an English variety it succeeds admirably throughout the north-
ern portion of the United States, but it is a little impatient of hot suns, and south of
New York it is not always to be depended upon. Under favorable conditions it bears
immense crops and is quite exempt from mildew. It has the peculiar advantage of coming into leaf
before it flowers, consequently the foliage protects the bloom from destructive spring frosts. The
berries are exceedingly large, of a dark red or cherry color, and of delicious quality when ripe. It
has been fruited quite largely in this country for several years and has thus far proved unequaled for
size, flavor, productiveness and vigorous growth. In cool, rich soil and with a northern exposure it
will yield an abundance of large, luscious fruit. And it also succeeds well under the shade of trees
when not too dense.
INDUSTRY.
Red Jacket.—A new, red berry, as large as the largest; smooth, very prolific and hardy;
quality and foliage the best. For many years it has been tested by the side of the best American
and English sorts and is free from mildew either in leaf or fruit. Promises to be the variety we have
so long been waiting for, equal to the best English kinds and capable of producing large crops under
ordinary cultivation wherever gooseberries can be grown.
N "Trivumph.—An American seedling of the English type; large, hardy and an immense bearer.
Very promising.
ss Oregon Seedling Gooseberry.—This isa berry that comes to us well reccommended.
It is a thrifty grower, yields enormously; very fine flavor. So far it seems proof against mildew.

CURRANTS.
Use the same care in preparation of the soil and planting that is advised for trees. Currants
should have manure in abundance. Plantin rows, north and south, six feet apart and four feet
apart in the rows. In the spring prune off the old wood close to the ground, and as the fruit is
borne on the last year’s growth of wood, they can be kept thrifty and healthy by this means.
All are familiar with the old type Currant—small berries, short clusters of fruit mixed with the
leaf stems, and an impossibility to gather them economically for home use.
It has been our hope to secure a variety that with the hardiness and vigor of the improved Red
Dutch would be combined the conditions of quality, size and productiveness of fruit, as to warrant
its propagation for market. We have met these requirements in a new seedling Currant, to which
the househola name of our magnificent State has been given—The North Star Currant. We quote
from the ‘‘Farm and Home” of Springfield, Mass., July, 1886:
“Last summer a branch of a new currant was sent to us. which, in several important requisites
to a first-class fruit,so far excelled other varieties that we had a photographtaken and an engraving
made which is given herewith. The originator, a skillful fruit grower, selected this currant from a
very large number of seedlings on account of its wonderful vigor and growth. Subsequent trial
showed it to the same advantage when grown from cuttings, and its prolific habits appeared to be
as wonderful as it will ever be possible for a currant to be. The size of the fruit is about the same as
the Cherry currant. Our engraving shows the berries as one-half inch in diameter. We have pro-
posed to give the actual size, contrary to the rather too prevalent custom of exaggerating new
fruits. The color is bright red and the flavor is superior to the red Dutch or Cherry currants. Its
most remarkable trait is the length of the bunches. We selected several that were five and six inches
in length, and four inches long was the most common dimension on the best branches. The owner
of this new fruit has not yet given it a name, but has changed his first intention of keeping his entire
stock and growing only the fruit for market. In due time when a sufficient stock shall have been
propagated to allow it to be offered for sale, it will be named and our readers will be kept informed
of its merits on further trial. At present the appearance of the plant is all that could be expected.
The entire stock as fast as it can be grown has been purchased by an enterprising nursery, who pre-
fer to have their intentions and name withheld from the public until they shall have had time and
plants to respond to the numerous inquiries that are sure to follow such an announcement in our
columns.”
Y The North Star Currant.—The points of excellence are, its hardiness, vigorous growth
of wood, early fruiting and great productiveness. The average growth for 1889, (an extremely dry
season) on light gravelly soil, was from thirty to thirty-six inches. The size of the berry
averages one-half inch in diameter, and the length of the fruit cluster frequently measures
five and six inches, and averages over four and one-half inches. It has a naked stem which attaches
the cluster to the wood and allows the fruit to be readily picked. It is superior in quality, rich in
flavor and much less acid than old sorts. (See illustration on front of cover.)
\ Fay’s Seedling.—A seedling from the Cherry and Victoria; color red; equal in size to the
ce currant, better in flavor, less acid, very prolific and easy to pick.
Improved Red Dutch.—Very prolific and regular bearer; a profitable market variety.
Vv Cherry.—Strong growing; fruit of large size; bunches short; dark red and rather acid.
Via Wersaillaise.—A French variety; vigorous grower; very productive. Fruit of large
— dark red, long bunches.
Wictoria.—The best very late variety. Abundant bearer; bunches extremely long; berries of
medium size, brilliant red and of the highest quality. Owing to its lateness, fine shipping quality
ae great productiveness it commands a high price.
Long Bunch Holland.—Large, bright red with very long bunches.
\ White Dutch.—An excellent and well known sort.
White Grape.—Very large, yellowish-white; sweet or very mild acid; excellent quality and
valuable for the table; the finest of the white sorts; very distinct from the White Dutch, having a
HN spreading habit and dark green foliage. Very productive.
White Gondoin.—A large, light-colored sort, sweet, vigorous and productive.
\ Black Naples.—aA reliable, good, black currant; berries very large, sometimes half an inch

in diameter; hardy and productive; excellent for sauce, pies and jellies; the plant is a very strong
grower and abundant fruiter.
‘vy Crandalii.—A new black currant originated in Kansas; berries very large—from one-half to
three-fourths inch in diameter; very productive; proof against the currant worm; excellent for pies,
jellies or jam; very hardy; a strong grower; ripens about July 25th; does not fall from bushes when
ripe; bears shipping well and is entirely distinct from the cultivated blackcurrant, lacking the strong,
musky flavor as found in the English black currant, and which is so much disliked by many. This
is evidently a hybrid currant.
Lee’s Prolific.—The best black currant for all purposes. Early, large and productive. The
quality is splendid, it is as sweet as a huckleberry and much like it. Plant Lee’s Prolific by all means.
LEE’S PROLIFIC.
RASPBERRIES.
This popular berry coming just after strawberries, is most welcome to fill out the berry season
before blackberries ripen.
GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR RASPBERRIES AND BLACKBERRIES.
Plant ia rows seven feet apart and three feet inthe row. In the North it is best to plant beth
Raspberries and Blackberries a little below the level so that they can be covered easily in the fall.
Cultivate thoroughly, and when the young shoots are fifteen or eighteen inches high, pinch them off,
thus causing laterals to push out. In the spring cut these back to twelve or fifteen inches. When
the fruit is gathered cut out the old and weak canes.
DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE. 20
PROTECTION.
For the winter protection of the plants, commence at the north end of the row, remove the dirt
from the north side of the hill about fiveinches. Gather the vines together with a fork, and with
the foot gently press the root to the north, laying the vines flat on the ground, then cover with a
few inches of earth. It is best to have two persons work together, one to lay the vines over and the
other to cover them. In the spring remove the covering carefully with a fork,
SUPPORT.
Black Raspberries and Blackberries should be supported. To do this use No.12 galvanized wire.
Set posts 24 feet apart, four feet high, and stretch a wire tight on each side, and fasten the ends three
feet from the ground. On the intervening posts drive nails to support the wire, high enough in the
center to keep the wire tight.
RED RASPBERRIES.
Ponensere A variety of the greatest excellence, and one of the new kinds that may be pro-
nounced perfectly hardy. The canes are tall and vigorous and enormously productive. Berries very
large, conical, rich crimson, very handsome, and so firm that they can be shipped hundreds of miles
by railway without injury; flavor rich, luscious, best; commences to ripen moderately early and
holds on until all others are gone.
lark.—Large, conical, bright crimson; juicy, sweet, and excellent; highly flavored; a strong
grower, productive and hardy; one of the very best.
VTurner.—This is undoubtedly one of the most profitable red raspberries for marketing now
under cultivation. Itisa stout, healthy grower, very hardy, and immensely productive. The fruit
is of the largest size, and presents a fine appearance.
Manseli.—One of the very earliest and most desirable of red raspberries; color, bright scar-
let; quality excellent; very productive and a fineshipper. Its great earliness causes it to bring the
eS price in the market,

vigor of bush and productiveness. Fruit large; color a pure yellow; quality best; ripens with
Cuthbert. A decided acquisition.
GOLDEN QUEEN.
30 THE JEWELL NURSERY COMPANY’S
Marlboro.—The largest early red raspberry, ripening only a trifle later than Hansell. Beau-
tiful bright scarlet, of good but not high quality, cane hardy and productive. All things considered,
probably the best early raspberry for the North.
Brandywime.—tThe fruit of this variety is very handsome and produces well. It is an old
and valuable variety that is coming into prominence and is in great demand.
~\, Shaffer’s Colossal.—One of the best red berries for family use, unequaled for canning;
flavor rich and sprightly. The bush is a strong grower and entirely hardy, does not ‘“‘sucker’’ or
sprout from the roots like other red varieties, but propagates from ‘‘tips’”’ like the black-caps. The
variety is wonderfully prolific, has yielded 100 bushels per acre for several years in succession from
the same plantation. A good market berry where known.
IE xcelsior.—An ever-bearing red raspberry. It bears a fair crop on the wood of last year’s
growth, from the middle of June until August, and the young wood of the present year’s growth
cemes in bloom in June and July.

to be one of the most profitable sorts. Berry not quite as large as Gregg, but of finer quality; has
been grown very extensively with great profit, and is highly recommended.
\Gregg.—This is a most remarkable, hardy black cap, and is undoubtedly one of the best mar-
ket raspberries grown, being very productive, and from one-third to one-half larger than any other
black cap the yield under good cultivation is simply enormous. The berries are of very large size
and covered with a whitish bloom; the quality is very good and they are firm in shipping. At the
Centennial Exposition it was awarded the very highest premium for Raspberries.

WINEBERRY,.
832 THE JEWELL NURSERY COMPANY’S
Vearheart.— Originated in Illinois thirteen years ago. The plant is an extremely strong,
stocky grower. Hardy, withstands heat and drought ina remarkable manner. Fruit of large size,
jet black, of good quality. The first or main crop ripens early in July. At the same time the first
of the new canes begin to bloom, ripening their first fruit soon after the main crop is gone, and con- .
tinuing to bloom and produce fruit until stopped by freezing in the fall. . |
\ Johnson’s Sweet.—Very highly recommended. Has been thoroughly tested on our exper-
imental grounds. Perfectly hardy and a good, strong grower. Fruit medium to large, color black.
Its most remarkable feature is sweetness, requiring little or no sugar. For drying purposes it has
no superior.
\ Palmer.—A new seedling, hardy, early, large size, good quality and very productive.
‘ Kamsas.—A seedling originated at Lawrence, Kansas. Berries large as the Gregg, jet black,
handsome and of excellent quality.
WWineberry (Japan) —‘This superb novelty lately introduced, originated from seeds sent
home by Professor Georgeson while at the Imperial College of Agriculture of Japan. The seeds were
obtained from plants in their wild state, growing in the mountains of that country. The canes of
this interesting plant are large, robust, and entirely hardy here. They are thickly covered with
purplish-red hairs. The leaves are large, tough, dark green above and silvery-gray beneath. Each
berry is at first enveloped by the large calyx, forming a sort of burr, which is also covered with pur-
plish-red hairs, so as to make it appear somewhat like a moss rose. This ‘burr’ soon opens and re-
veals rich, wine-colored berries, of sprightly, acid flavor, that are sure to be highly prized. It is an
interesting plant to have in any collection.”
BLACKBERRIES.
Miovoners Wardy.—An upright and vigorous grower; stocky, short-jointed; ripens early;
turns dark red, and is the hardiest known blackberry. The fruit is, when fully ripe, glossy black, has
no hard core, and is delicious in flavor. Commences to ripen its first fruit five
days later than Snyder, and continues bearing ten days longer. The fruit is
well protected by thick, dense foliage.
Amcient Briton.—A valuable variety that is becoming very popular
n many sections. Sells well in market and is very profitable; berries large
and sweet. Does better on sandy land than on heavy soil. Requires winter
protection, but is well worth the little labor this costs.
Wachusett Thornless.—A grand berry for the family garden, es-
pecially at the North as it is hardy; strong, vigorous canes free from thorns;
ruit of good size and fine flavor; ripens medium to late and continues in bear-
; nga long time, often into September. Productive
SASS RR. under high culture, but will not thrive on dry, thin

Hrie.—This new berry is a vigorous and healthy grower and quite
hardy; very productive of berries of the largest size, coal black, firm and
solid. Ripens early.
\ WRimsiewaski.—This is a new variety and it comes very highly
recommended. “Upon the grounds of the originator in New York, it has
exhibited many excellent traits, which, if continued in other sections and 4
under general culture, will make this variety very valuable. It is claimed
to be of superior merit by reason of its hardiness, large size, and enormous
productiveness.”” As to ripening its originator says: ‘‘The Minnewaski on Lae

ed, ripened at the same time and before any other variety growing on the same place.’”’ The fruit is
delicious and large enough to rank with the larger varieties, of a glossy black color, tender, juicy,
weet and of a fine aromatic flavor. It has no hard, sour core, but is tender all the way through.
iG Snyder.—One of the best blackberries for market in the far north, as it is vigorous, hardy and
productive. Though the berries are medium in size, they are of a sweet, juicy flavor, and when fully
ripe without the hard core of many sorts.
\ SNYDER.
Agawam.—Fruit of fair size, jet black, sweet, tender and melting to the very core. For home
use it has no superior, being sweet throughout as soon as black. It is extremely hardy and healthy,
and very productive. As aneminent small-fruit grower says: “It stands at the head for hardiness,
fraitfulness and sweetness.” No fruit garden should be without this excellent variety.
Kaylor’s Prolific.—A suitable companion for Snyder, for it also is a variety of great hard-
iness and productiveness, but ripens somewhat later. Berries are large and very sweet, with a rich,
licious flavor.
Reateaiiee ve roundish, conical; glossy black, juicy, sweet, and better in every respect

DEWBERRY.
The Dewberry as one of our small fruits is demanding considerable attention from our fruit
growers. Coming along as it does between the raspberries and blackberries it is of great value.
The best mode of culture is to treat it somewhat like the strawberry and plant it in rows six feet
apart with the plants three feet distant in the rows. Keep the soil mellow and clean.
Lucretia.—One of several that have proved successful. It is a strong grower and exceedingly
productive. The fruit is large, luscious and handsome. It is of a glossy, shining black and it ripens
from the first to the middle of July.
x LUCRETIA.
Windoma.—Is a berry that has proven of special value on the prairie soil of the Northwest.
The fruit ripens with the later raspberries and is of large size and good quality. The plant is very
hardy and more productive than any blackberry. After the second season from planting the vines
trail a little, but are stocky, growing about one and one-half feet high with numerous branches. It
presents a fine appearance when in bloom, as the blossoms are all on the outside of the hill, but as
the fruit gets size the plant gradually settles, and at the time of ripening is very near the ground,
and the fruit is much shaded by the new growth of the plant, and is thus protected from winds and

the beating storms. The fruit is superior for cooking, canning and preserves, and if left on the vines
until well ripened, is one of the best for dessert, and will hang on ten days or more after turning
black. It seems to us, that at least on the prairies of the Northwest—the land of high winds, bliz-
zards and forty degrees below zero, where all varieties of the blackberry must have winter protec-
tion—the hardy dewberry must become popular, for the following reasons: Itis of low spread-
ing growth, the fruit and canes are not injured by our high winds, nor the canes injured by being
broken by snow banks. The vines are as easily given winter protection by mulching as the straw-
berry.
JUNEBERRY.
Vv
Improved Dwarf Juneberry.—The Juneberry is one of the most valuable berries, and
it should be planted on every farm in the West. The wood is hard and firm and endures the extremes
of our climate without injury. Its leaves are dark, glossy green and very much resemble the pear.
The plant propagates from suckers. The flowers appear about the same time as the apple. The
petals are white and fiveinnumber. The fruit is borne in clusters like the currant and ripens in
June. Its size equals the wild gooseberry; shape round; color a reddish purple at first and becomes
a bluish black when fully ripened. Its flavor approaches the huckleberry, a mild, very rich, sub-acid.
Most people like its quality and pronounce it delicious. It may be served with sugar and cream or
cooked as sauce, and is splendid canned for winter use. The plant is about the height and form of
the currant bush. It produces fruit in enormous quantities and bears every year. It is also perfectly
hardy, not being injured by wet, cold or dry weather, and needs no special treatment. Rabbits do
not injure it, and it will grow readily with only ascanty root. Set the plants 4x6 feet apart.

SrA AND ORNAMENTAL TREES.
We wish to call attention especially to the following list of shade and ornamental trees, which
we have selected with great care to meet the wants of planiers. The extreme changes of tempera-
ture experienced here in the Northwest necessitates the selection of the most hardy, or great disap-
pointment ensues. Of course, in the more favored localities, semi-hardy varieties may be planted,
but when in doubt, planters will do well to write in to the Company, and the desired information
will be gladly given.
In planting groves the trees should be set from sixteen to twenty-four feet apart, setting each
variety by itself. The distance apart depends upon the habit of the tree selected. Give them good
cultivation in order to obtain the best results.
Specimen trees should be set by them-
selves with plenty of room for develop-
ment. Cut back long limbs on the soft
maple and elm to prevent breaking off by
high winds.
ACER. Maple.

this country from latitude 49 degrees western Russia, by the Mennonites, and is, as near as we can
learn, a cross between the black mulberry of Persia and a native Russian variety. The timber is
hard and durable, and is used in the manufacture of cabinet ware, and proves as lasting for fence
posts as Catalpa. The leaves are mostly lobed or cut with five to twelve lobes, and are valuable
food for silk worms. The bark is grayish white, branches drooping, and the beauty of this asa
lawn or street tree is quite enoughtocommend it; but in addition to these merits it yields an abund-
ant supply of its refreshing berries. The Mennonites use it as a hedge plant, and it makes a beauti-
ful hedge and stands shearing as well as any tree on the list.
NEGUNDO (Acer Negundo). Negundo Maple.
N. Fraxinifolium. AsH-Leavep MapLe.—Box Elder. A native tree, maple-like in its
seeds and ash-like in foliage; of irregular spreading habit, and rapid growth.

numerous, and the majority are adapted to ornament large grounds where they can have an abund-
ance of room. Some kinds, however, are moderate growers, and suitable for small places, especially
if kept in good shape by the judicious use of the knife. Our collection embraces a variety ot forms
and includes the finest.

insects.
S. Aurea. GoLpEN WILLow (Russian).—A rapid growing, healthy tree with a beautiful
golden bark.
S. Laurifolia. Lavre.-Leavep WILLow (Russian).—Very beautiful with its glossy dark
green leaves; valuable for lawn, street or timber planting.
S. Napoleonsis. Napo.eon’s WILLow.—Grows about four feet high, has many small
stems and branches; spreads in every direction, often covering a circular space seven or eight feet
across. The foliage is narrow, and light bluish-green in color. The whole appearance of the plant
is light, airy and graceful. Would de particularly nice for a low screen or division line.
Sheperdie Argentea. Burraco Berry —As a hardy tree there is nothing superior. It
is fine for ormmamental purposes and also for hecging. It is the latest tree to hold its fruit, and it
keeps its leaf until late and is valuable on that account. It bears cutting well. It is independent of
drouth and bears abundantly, being well adapted to a dry climate. It seems to be at home in the
arid regions of Dakota. The fruit, though small, is quite good in flavor, ‘similar_to the cranberry;
it makes nice jelly.

WHITE SPRUCE.
EVERGREENS.
Evergreens, nursery grown, transplant as easily as any
class of trees. Young trees, or those of moderate or small
size, are the most certain and profitable to remove. Thor-
ough culture and mulching, are very useful, especially in dry
seasons. Early spring planting we have found the best, but
they can safely be removed in wet seasons quite late, or un-
til the new shoots are started. In planting, tramp the
earth firmly (but carefully) on roots. The importance of
this can scarcely be overstated. In transplanting, the roots
should never be exposed to the sun and aira single minute.
Evergreens are most superb for screens or wind-breaks
around buildings, orchards and stock corrals. Norway
Spruce, White and Scotch Pine, Red Cedar and Arbor Vite,
are all admirable for that purpose. The last two for low
screens should be planted eighteen inches apart, and clipped
twice each year while young, in June and August. For high
screens plant two or more rows, ten or twelve feet apart,
twelve feet in the row, each tree opposite the center of the

space in the next row. Evergreens should be allowed to branch out near the ground. Pruning can
be done before they start in the spring, and to thicken up evergreens rapidly, clip off the ends of the
young succulent shoots while they are yet soft and tender.
ABIES. Spruce and Hemlock.
A. Alba. Wuire Spruce—A native tree of medium size, varying in height from 25 to 50
feet, of pyramidal form, foliage silvery-gray, and bark light colored. Very hardy and valuable. See
cut.
A. Excelsa. Norway Spruce.—From Europe. An elegant tree, extremely hardy, of lofty,
rapid growth, and pyramidal form, The branches assume a graceful, drooping habit, when the tree
attains 15 or 20 feet in height. One of the most popular evergreens for planting, either as single
specimen trees, or in masses for effect or shelter. It is one of the best evergreen hedge plants.
A. Canadensis. Hemiock Spruce.—A remarkably graceful and beautiful native tree,
with drooping branches and delicate dark foliage like that of the Yew; distinct from all other trees.
It is a handsome lawn tree and makes a highly ornamental hedge.
A. Pungens.—Covorapo BLvE Spruce.—Known for a time under the following names:
Abies Menziesii, Abies Menziesii Parryana, and Abies Engel-
mani. One of the hardiest and most beautiful of all the
spruces; inform and habit similar to the White Spruce;
foliage of a rich blue or sage color; an important acquisi-
tion.
A. Dougilasii. Doucias Spruce.—From Colora-
do. Large, conical form; branches spreading, horizontal;
soft foliage, resembling hemlock.
A. Concolor.—From Colorado; a beautiful tree
with a bright foliage of silver and green and purple in vas
ried contrast.
A. Balsamea. Batsam Fir.—A very erect, regu-
Jar, pyramidal tree, with dark green sombre foliage. Grows
rapidly and is very hardy.
PINUS. Pine.
P. Syivestris. Scorcu Pine or Fir.—A native of
the British Islands. A fine, robust, rapid growing tree,
with stout, erect shoots, and silvery green foliage; very
hardy; valuable for shelter.
P. Strobus. Waite or WeEYMouTH PiNE.—The
most ornamental of all our native pines; foliage light, deli-
cate or silvery-green. Flourishes in the poorest light-sandy
soil. Very valuable.
WHITE OR WEYMOUTH PINE.
P. Montana.—A dwarf variety, foliage
dense, and a rich dark green; perfectly hardy.
P. Ponderosa. CaLiFornia PINE.—

4.6 THE JEWELL NURSERY COMPANY’S
conical outline, resembling a pillar of green; very desirable.
J- Sabima. SavmJuniper.—A dwarf, spreading shrub, with trailing branches. Thrives in
the poorest soils. Very suitable for rock work. This is the finest plant for low hedging that can be
found for the Northwest. It is the lowest growing of all the evergreens—never attaining a greater
height than four or five feet. The foliage is of a rich dark green, very fine and compact. It never
sunburns or turns brown in the winter. It can be sheared very closely and kept downlow. On this
account it is especially desirable for borders, roads or paths through private grounds or flower gar-
dens, etc. It is especially desirable for cemetery purposes—as a border for a lot—for here it can be
kept very low by close shearing and simply outlines the lot by a border of living green. It is very
easy to make live, as it has many fibrous roots, and with good care given the first year or two in
cultivating or mulching, it will take care of itself after that, and only needs pruning every year to
keep it in shape. Experience on our own grounds has demonstrated fully its desirability. As a low
specimen evergreen for a small lawn, or for a clump or group on large grounds, it is an acquisition,
for its rich dark green gives variety to the lighter color of the other evergreens.
J- WVirgimiama. Rep Cepar.—A well known American tree; varies much in habit and
color of foliage, some being quite stiff, regular and conical, and others loose and irregular. It makes
a fine ornamental hedge plant.
THUYA. Arbor Vitz.
T. Occidentalis. American ARBor Vit#.—A native tree known as WhiteCedar. Excel-
lent for screens and hedges and makes a fine tree on the lawn.
T. War. Pyramidalis. PyrammaL Arspor Vira.—Very upright, same habit as Irish
Juniper; growth very dense, with rich, dark, luxuriant foliage; to our fancy far surpassing any of
the juniper family, while its superior hardiness entitles it to a place in every yard or lawn.

HEDGING,
Hedges of evergreens for screens and ornament are very desirable and valuable; also defensive
hedges for fences are excellent where they can be grown. We recommend the following for
SCREENS AND SHELTER.
Arbor Vitze, White Spruce, Norway Spruce, White Pine and Scotch Pine. These may also be
made very ornamental by severe pruning.
ORNAMENTAL HEDGES.
Arbor Vitz, Juniper Savin, and Purple Berberry. The Juniper Savin is particularly desirable for
alow hedge. It is a beautiful green and can be trimmed so as to make it very compact. Evergreens
should always be trimmed so as to be broader at the base than at the top, or else the top will shade
the under branches and cause them to drop off.
HEDGES FOR FENCING.
Osage Orange and Honey Locust are the best. They are well known and easily raised.
Owe ot OREES FOR TIMBER CHAINS:
A large and growing demand for stock for timber claims exists on the treeless prairies. We are
prepared to meet this in a satisfactory manner. Of the trees within reach, the department accept
Cottonwood, white or gray Willow, Ash, Box Elder, Soft Maple, Hard Maple, Walnut, Butternut,
Pines, Spruce and Balsam.
The timber culture law requires five acres of land to be broken within one year from date of fil-
ing. Within the second year from filing, this fiye acres must be cultivated and a second five acres
broken. Within the third year from filing, the first five acres must be planted to trees, seeds or cut-
tings, at the rate of 2,700 trees on each acre, and the second five acres cultivated. Within the fourth
year from filing, the entire ten acres must be planted to trees,,seeds or cuttings, making a total of
27,000 trees on the entire ten acres, and the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth years the ten acres must
be cultivated, at the end of which time a patent will be issued if claimant can show 675 living and
thrifty trees on each acre, 6,750 in all.
In case through any effect of climate the trees, seeds, or cuttings fail to grow, claimant is permit-
ted to replant the following year, it being desirable that he make an affidavit, in proper form, setting
forth that he planted said trees, seeds or cuttings in accordance with law, and that failure did ensue
through the effects of climate, and that he place this affidavit on file in the land office in which he
made his original filing. This is not required by law, but is a wise precaution, and might prevent a
contest for the claim for reason of non-compliance with the law. Great care should be exercised in
planting, as this is one of the most important parts of the entire job. After removing the crop in
the fall previous to planting, plow the land deep, harrow down thoroughly, and the law contem-
plates trees being planted four feet apart in rows four feet from each other. On some accounts it is
preferrable to plant the rows eight feet apart, and the trees or cuttings two feet apart in the rows,
the effect being the same, that is, putting the same number of trees upon the land.
By planting in rows eight feet apart, you have the use of half the land for crops, and the claim
will receive better attention if the land is producing acrop. The best crop to plant is a low grow-
ing variety of corn. This will give the trees cultivation best adapted to their wants, and the stand-
ing stubble will collect and hold in winter the snow—nature’s own protection. Again, in thinning
48 THE JEWELL NURSERY COMPANY’S
the trees out to eight feet apart each way, to secure the number demanded by law, some judgment
can be used in making selection of the most thrifty and promising to be left standing. Seedlings or
cuttings should be planted in the spring, when land is in good condition for corn planting. Set with
a spade or dibber, setting firmly into the earth and packing carefully. The seedling should be set a
little deeper than it stood in the ground before. The cutting should have one bud left out of the
ground, then cultivate thoroughly as you would corn. Follow this up until the middle of July each
year, and you will have a grove that will be worth a hundred times its cost and a farm that is equiv-
alent to a fortune, to the possessor. A strip of land, at least ten rods wide, well cultivated and kept
free from grass and weeds, should surround your groves to protect from prairie fires.
ORNAMENTAL DECIDUOUS SHRUBS.
A beautiful effect may be produced by planting our hardy shrubs. On large lawns, they should
be set with the high-growing varieties on the back or in the center and the lower-growing in front
or around. The Lilacs—purple and white—with Weigelas and Syringas make a beautiful group.
The Tartarian Honeysuckle—pink and white,—the Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora, which is as
hardy as a Snowball, are fine as specimen shrubs for the lawn—handsome when not in flower and
always giving such good returns for a little care. The different Spirzeas are especially desirable for
making the season complete in blooming.
With regard to pruning shrubs. Every plant, tree and shrub has its own habit of growth and
this distinctive feature is its attraction, so do not try to prune them all alike, but simply remove
dead branches and try to preserve as nearly as possible the peculiarities of habit and foliage. The
Weigelas, Deutzias and Syringas (Mock Orange) flower in the wood of the preceding year’s growth
hence these shrubs should not be pruned in the winter or spring, but after they are through
flowering, when the old wood should be shortened or cut out, thus promoting the growth of the
young wood, which is to flower another year.
Spireeas, Lilacs, Altheus and Honeysuckles may be trimmed during winter or early spring a very
little, but it is a better rule to trim alll shrubs after they are through flowering.
The Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora should*be severely cut back and trimmed early in spring.
BERBERIS. Berberry.
The Berberries are a most interesting family of shrubs, varying in size from two to six feet high,
rich in variety of leaf, flower and habit. Their showy orange and yellow flowers in May or June are
succeeded by bright and various colored fruit; very ornamental in the autumn and winter.

We are indebted to Japan for this valuable genus of plants. Their hardihood, fine habit,
luxuriant foliage and protusion of attractive flowers, render them the most beautiful, and deservedly
the most popular of flowering shrubs at the present time. The flowers are produced the latter part
of June in racemes four to six inches long.
D. Crenata War. Flore Pleno. DovusLe
FLOWERING DeutTz1A.—Flowers double; White tinged with
rose. One of the most desirable flowering shrubs in
cultivation. See cut.
D. Gracilis. SLENDER BRANCHED DeEurzia.—A
charming species of dwarf habit introduced from Japan by
Dr. Siebold. Flowers pure white. Fine for pot culture, as
it flowers freely in a low temperature in the winter. The
first to flower. About the middle of June.
DIERVILLA. Weigela.
Another valuable genus from Japan, introduced as late
as 1843. Shrubs of erect habit while young, but gradually
spreading and drooping as they acquire age. They produce
in June and July superb large trumpet shaped flowers, ot
all shades and colors, from pure white to red. In borders
and groups of trees they are very effective, and for margins
the variegated leaved varieties are admirably suited, their
gay-colored foliage contrasting finely with the green of
other shrubs. They flower after the Lilacs in June.

D. Candida. Wuitre-FLOWERED WEIGELA.
—A valuable variety. All white varieties heretofore
known have been lacking in some important charac
teristic. Hortensis Nivea, the best and only really
white sort, is a poor grower and difficult to propa-
gate. Other so-called white sorts have flesh colored
flowers; so that the introduction of Candida supplies
along felt want. It is of vigorous habit, an erect
grower, becoming in time a large sized shrub.
Flowers pure white and produced in great profusion
in June, and the plants continue to bloom through
the summer, even until Autumn.

HYDRANGEA.
The native species are handsome shrubs of medium
size, with-fine, large leaves, generally of a light green
color, and perfectly hardy. The introductions from
Japan and China are particularly interesting and
valuable. H. Paniculata Grandiflora is remarkable
in foliage and flower, and being perfectly hardy is
of great value. The Japanese varieties, like the H.
Hortensia, require protection in winter. They should
be grown in pots or boxes and wintered in the cellar,
and in summer placed along walks in the shade of
trees. H.Otaksaisespecially adapted to this purpose.
H. War. Otaksa.—Foliage a beautiful deep

H. Ramulis Coccineis.—A novelty with reddish branches and flowers.
H. War. Speciosa.—tThis differs from Alba Variegata by having the silvery variegation
along the center of the leaf with an occasional spot towards the edge; very pretty.
H. War. Thomas Mogez.—tThis belongs to the Hortensia section of the family, but it is
a far more free and abundant bloomer than any other. For the florist and for all decorative
purposes it is invaluable. The flowers are of the purest white, of very firm texture, and are
produced from July to September. It is as hardy as the old Hortensia. Requires some protection in
winter.
H. Paniculata Grandiflora. Larce PanicLE-FLOWERED HyDRANGEA.—A fine shrub

PHILADELPHUS. Syringa or Mock Orange.
The Syringais an invaluable shrub. Of vigorous habit, very hardy, with large, handsome
foliage, and beautiful, white flowers, produced in the greatest profusion in the blossoming season.
It merits a prominent place in all collections of shrubbery. Most of the varieties, except those of
dwarf habit, form iarge sized shrubs, twelve to fifteen feet high. They can, of course, be kept
smaller by pruning. The dwarf sorts do not yield many flowers, but are such pretty, compact
plants as to be very useful where small shrubs are desixved. All the varieties flower in June after the
Weigela. By planting the late flowering sorts the season may be considerably extended.

PRUNUS. Plum.
Under this heading are embraced some ot the most charming early spring flowering shrubs.
Prunus Triloba, or the double-flowered plum, as it is commonly called, and the double-flowered
Almonds, produce in remarkable profusion perfectly double, finely formed flowers of most attractive
colors. At the blossoming season each little tree appears like one mass of bloom, forming a most
beautiful and interesting object, whether planted singly upon the lawn or in groups. As the
Almond and Plum flower at the same time, they can be massed very effectively. Both are hardy and
of fine habit.

HARDY HERBACEOUS "FLOWERING
PLANTS.
This is a class of plants’that is rapidly coming into favor, and the demand for them is increasing
every year. The ease with which they may be grown, and the great variety of flowers and foliage,
ranging over the whole growing season, make them very attractive and very desirable. Once
planted, they care for themselves, if insured freedom from grass and weeds. Some of the more
tender varieties may bloom better for a winter protection of litter or coarse straw.
By selecting carefully, with reference to time of blooming, a succession of flowers may be
obtained during spring, summer and autumn. The majority present an attractive appearance even
when not in bloom. We would call special attention to the different varieties of Aquilegia, Delphi.
nium, Spirzea, Pyrethrum, Plantain Lilies, Dicentra, Phlox, Golden Rod, ete.
Our list is one that we can fully recommend. We are testing many other varieties, and will
offer them from time to time, as they prove worthy. If any plant is desired that is not here listed,
write us and we will try and furnish it.

‘
This, when properly grown, is unquestionably one of the finest autumn flowers—like the Peony,
a flower for the million. It is of vigorous habit, and produces in great profusion during a long sea-
son, flowers of fine form and substance, and of bright and varied colors. Just as the roses are fad-
ing, the phlox puts forth her flowers, producing a fine succession of bloom, and prolonging an inter-
esting season at least six weeks. As regards their culture, it may be briefly stated that they succeed
in any good garden soil, but they are greatly improved by being liberally manured, and an occasional
supply of liquid manure during the growing season will greatly increase the size of their trusses.

66 THE JEWELL NURSERY COMPANY’S
DA EAS:
The Dahlia is one of the showiest of our autumn flowers. Commencing to flower in August,
they are in a perfect blaze of bloom until stopped by frost in late autumn. The Cactus, Single and
Pompon varieties are especially fine for cut flowers. We know of nothing more showy for table
decoration than a loosely arranged bunch of long-stemmed Cactus or Single Dahlias. They delight
in a deep, rich soil, should be planted three and one-half to four feet apart, and be tied to heavy
stakes to prevent strong winds from breaking them down.

Snowdrift.—Fine; of medium size but very double; pure white and oneof the best for cutting.

lO AID KONE.
The Gladiolus is the most beautiful of
the summer or tender bulbs, with tall
spikes of flowers, some two feet or more
im height, often several from the same
bulb. The flowers are of almost every
desirable color, brilliant scarlet, crimson,
creamy white, striped, blotched and
spotted in the most curious manner. By
cutting the spikes when two or three of
the lower flowers are open, and placing
them in water, the entire spike will open
in the most beautiful manner. Set the
bulbs from six to nine inches apart, and
about four inches deep. Plant from mid-
die of April to first of June. It isa good
way to plant at two or three different
times, ten days or two weeks apart.
: This will giveasuccession of blooms from
, JulytoNovember. In the fall, before hard
trost, take up the bulbs, remove the tops,
leave to dry inthe air for a few hours, and
store in some cool place secure from the
frost, until spring.

variety of quite a novel color; slaty-
brown or scarlet ground, streaked with
scarlet and pure white, with conspicuous
white blotch.

seldom showing a trace of any other shade. The spikes arelarge and set thickly with flowers. When
planted late and the nights become very cool, it will be streaked with pink more than at any other
time; even then if the spikes are cut and placed in water when the four lower flowers are open, no
trace of pink will appear in the remainder. If at any season the spikes are cut when the first two
or four lower flowers are open, and are allowed to develope in water, it is positively snow white. It
is a good grower. Bulbsare healthy and strong, and in very many cases produce three spikes to each
bulb; but to get the largest flowers and spike, only one spike should be allowed to grow. See cut.
CLIMBING AND
TRAILING SHRUBS.
A. Quinquefolia. (AmeEriIcAN Ivy OR
VirGINIA CREEPER.)—Every house in city or coun-
try in the Northwest should have at least one
plant of this grand vine. Perfectly hardy, endur-
ing any amount of abuse, it responds bountifully
to a little care and will give dense shade wherever
planted. It needs no protection whatever and, in
the fall, the gorgeous coloring of the leaves will
beautify the most unsightly spot. It throws out
tendrils and roots at the joints by which it at-
taches itself to anything it touches. It is one of
the finest vines for covering walls, verandas, or
trunks of trees. See cut.
A. Weitchii. Japan CREEPER. Boston

acity ot Ivy; the foliage is very handsome in sum-
mer and changes to crimson scarlet in autumn.

ARISTOLOCHIA. Birthwort.
A. Sipho. (DurcHMan’s Pipr.)—A very curious, perfectly hardy
vine. If given good rich soil, the leaves are immense, many with a diame-
ter of eight to ten inches, of a rich dark green. It is a very rapid grower,
old plants making a growth of fifteen to twenty feet in one season. It has
very odd shaped flowers that are a source of great wonderment to all who
see them for the first time.
Celastrus Scandems,. (CLiwpinc CELASTRUS OR BITTER SWEET. )
AMERICAN IVY. —This is a very handsome native climbing or twining shrub. It has fine
large leaves, yellow flowers and clusters of orange-capsular fruit. Itis very ornamental in winter,
when it is covered with the bright red berries, which remain on all winter.
CLEMATIS. Virgin’s Bower.
None among hardy perennials exceed in beauty and effectiveness the finer sorts of the Clematis.
As a climber for the veranda, a screen for fences, for pillars along the garden walks, for training on
walls or arbors, in masses on rockwork; for cultivation in pots, it has no rival among strong-grow-
ing blossoming plants. The Clematis s should be grown in rich, deep sandy loam, and be well mulched
with rotten manure in winter. The richest sheets of bloom and largest flowers are obtained where
it has partial shade and a liberal supply of water at the roots.

NEW LARGE FLOWERED FRENCH CANNAS.
This new class of cannas are entirely distinct from the older sorts, in that they are continuous
bloomers and produce flowers three or four times as large and in much greater quantities. The large

deepest crimson, orange, scarlet and salmon to
light yellow, many being beautifully mottled and
streaked, and are frequently compared to orchid
flowers on account of their delicate markings.

“1OTAR I] —
All agree that the queen of flowers is the rose, and long experience has taught us that we can
have them here in the North and perhaps enjoy them more than our friends in the South, where they
grow in greater profusion. Roses are more eagerly sought for, and used in decorations of all kinds,
than any other flower. A few plants, well selected and cared for, will furnish beautiful flowers from
early summer until late in the fall.
DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE. 79
KINDS TO PLANT.
Of the following classes of roses, the Hybrid Perpetual or Remontant, Moss, June and Climbers
are the most hardy, and, in Minnesota, can with suitable protection, be kept out of doors during the
winter. The beautiful Tea or Monthly Roses are very nice for bedding out during the summer when
they will give fine blooms. Ifthe plants are taken up carefully in the fall, and trimmed back, and put
in earth in a box, in a cool cellar, keeping the earth slightly moistened, in the spring they will come
out fresh and will soon start into bloom. Care must be taken, however, not to put them out of
doors until the weather is suitable.
THE TIME TO PLANT.
i
The best time is in the spring. Pot grown roses can be planted any time in the summer.
SOiL.
Roses will do wellin any good garden mould, but are much improved by liberal manuring and
good cultivation. The ground should be well spaded to the depth of eighteen inches, and
enriched by digging in about one-fourth well rotted cow manure, or a sprinkling of bone dust. If
the soil contains no clay, some good stiff clay should be added, and if not naturally underdrained, it
should have broken kricks, stones, ete., placed at the bottom of bed for drainage.
CULTIVATION.
The ground should not be allowed to bake or become hard, but should be frequently stirred with
the hoe to keep it light and mellow. In very dry times it should be hoed thoroughly every day.
Cease cultivation the last of July vo allow them to ripen their buds.
PRUNING.
Roses do not require much pruning in the summer; just enough to keep them in shape. In the
spring it is best to cut back one-half or two-thirds of last season’s growth, and cut off all dead
shoots.
WINTER PROTECTION.
The principles of winter protection are: 1st, to have the wood as well ripened as possible; 2nd,
have good drainage so that the bushes will not become damp and mouldy; 3rd, cover so as to pre-
vent alternate thawing and freezing; 4th, uncover at the proper time. To secure the first, do not
cultivate after August 1st and do not cover until just as winter setsin. For the second, level the bed
so the surface water will all run off.
HOW TO COVER.
Put four to six inches of dry leaves, grass or litter of any kind on the ground, where the bush is
to lie. Remove a little earth from one side of the bush and bend it to that side, gently
pressing the top to the ground and secure it by means of pegs with a hook on the upper end. Cover
the bush with six inches or more of the dry litter and over it place sods turned bottom side up.
Over the sods scatter more litter to prevent alternate thawing and freezing.
It is well to place poisoned meal or corn in among the bushes to prevent the ravages of mice.
The above method is the best we know of in the latitude of Minnesota. In a warmer climate
less protection is needed.
UNCOVWERING IN THE SPRING.
Do not uncover early. Watch the bushes and open them up just before they start to grow.
Abbreviations Used Describing the Habit of Growth.

TIRGEG ROSES.
No handsomer ornament can be found for the lawn or garden, however small, than the tree rose
| Standing three feet or more high on its hardy stock, every individual bud and blossom can be seen
| and budded with hybrid perpetual roses it is a beautiful object the season through. They seem to be
exceptionally profuse bloomers, as many as two hundred and sixty blossoms having been counted
on asingle bush. They are as easily cared for as other roses, requiring in fact the same management.
During the summer keep the ground well stirred, not allowing a weed to grow, as the sunlight is
fully as needful on the soil as on the foliage of the plants. If the season is dry, water once a week
thoroughly at night, and if possible, shower them. They are easy to lay down and protect in the
winter. See directions for covering roses. On page 78 we show an engraving made from a photo-
graph of a tree rose on our grounds.

a succession of blooms plant every two weeks four bulbs
in a five-inch pot.

plants, either for pots or lawn planting. It will grow 5s
in any good garden soil; it is easy of culture; a full sized € ~~ | it
plant being four or five feet in height, with immense |
leaves. The roots should be preserved in dry sand in \ i
the cellar during the winter. See cut. \ \\ |

beautiful color.

OKABENA.
The Okabena apple is a seedling grown at Worthington, Minnesota, near Lake Okabena, The original tree
is now alive, in a vigorous condition and bearing abundant annval crops of fruit. The fruit has been
exhibited at the Minnesota State Fairs and the State Horticultural Meetings, and has been award-
ed prizes at both. We regard this as the best seedling produced in Minnesota. FRUIT.—
Medium to large, red and white, streaked somewhat like the Duchess. A beautiful
apple and excellent for the table, and much superior to the Duchess or Wealthy.

The Richest, Sweetest § Best Currant Grown
The North Star Currant.
“The North Star Currant” is an accidental seedling, probably of the Victoria,
as, like that variety, it is seldom affected by the borer. Notwithstanding its great
vigor, it has proved to be hardy wherever tried, without a single exception. Single
berries of the short bunched Cherry Currant can be grown to a larger size than
‘“The North Star,’’ but the average bunches of the latter are much heavier, while in
quality the fruit is less acid and more agreeable to eat out of hand than the Cherry
or any other common variety.
The size of the fruit is about the same as the Cherry. Our engraving shows it
as about one-half inch in diameter. The plate herewith presented is an exact fac-
simile of a branch of ‘‘The North Star,” and is a fair average (reduced in size to
admit of being plated); the single bunch is life size. The average length of the
bunch is four inches; the berries from a single bunch, thirty in number, placed side
by side, touching, covered a line twelve inches in length; the fruit is superior, very
sweet and rich in quality, firm, an excellent market berry, desirable as a dessert
fruit in the natural state and unequaled for jelly. The length and abundance of
the clusters make it possible to pick twenty-five per cent more fruit in the same
length of time than from any other sort.
The ability of currants to produce fruit is measured by the length of the new
fruiting wood annually produced. The average growth of the wood of ‘‘The North
Star’? is from three to four feet. —
Before offering ‘‘The North Star Currant” to the public, we gave it a thorough
test. Its rapid growth and prolific fruiting gave us confidence that it would prove
to be the most desirable currant yet introduced, and we are now satisfied that ‘‘The
North Star Currant”’ is, without exception, the most rapid grower, the most prolific
fruiter, and best in quality of any red currant grown anywhere. The commendation
and testimonials of our customers are the best possible evidence-of its superiority.
, Again, there is a constantly increasing demand for this class of fruit, not only on
account of its general excellence, but because of its healthful properties. While
‘““The North Star’’ is the sweetest of red currants, and is very agreeable in its raw
state, it contains sufficient acid to render it one of the best and most healthful food
products extant.
There is a great tendency on the part of the American people to abandon the use
of meats and flesh and to substitute therefor the various fruits and vegetables. This
is abundantly proven by the vastly increased demand and sale of all classes of fruits.
“The North Star’? cannot be too highly commended, either for home use or for
shipment to market. Its large size, brilliant color, sweet and delicious flavor will
make for it a ready sale, while its early and great productiveness and the tendency
of the berries to cling to the branches a long time give it a special market value not
possessed by other varieties.
What are the claims of ‘‘The North Star?”’ Extreme hardiness; grows freely
from layers or cuttings; early and abundant fruiting and a strong grower; berries
do not shell or drop off; most prolific fruiter; a sure cropper; and the sweetest and
best red currant on earth.
You will make no mistake in buying ‘‘The North Star” if you want the BEST
RED CURRANT GROWN. The following letters and testimonials come from all
parts of the country. Read what others say of it:
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY OF ITS GROWTH.
“My ‘North Star Currants’ have made a most
wonderful growth.’—D. Hill, Nurseryman,
Dundee, III.
“The ‘North Star’ is perfectly at home on
my place. Did not lose a single plant out of the
100 sent me. They have made a good, strong
growth, notwithstanding the severe drought. I
expect much from them.’’—W. N. Scearrf,
Nurseryman, New Carlisle, Ohio.
“The ‘North Star Currant’ has made a re-
markably strong growth, excelling every other
variety in that respect.”—Wm. C. Strong, Wa-
ban, Mass.
“The ‘North Star Currants’ we bought of you
last spring are all living and have put on a very
fine growth. We are very much pleased with
them.”—Geo. E. Peters & Co., Nurserymen,
Troy, Ohio.
“The plants of the ‘North Star Currant’ you
sent us last spring have made a very vigorous
growth so far, and promise to be one of the best
we have.’’—Storrs & Harrison Co., Nurserymen,
Painesville, Ohio.
“The ‘North Star Currants’ I bought of you
are fine-looking plants. They are making a fine
growth and promise to be one of the best we
have. Iam highly pleased with them.’’—I. W.
Millis, Rapid City, S. D.
“The ‘North Star Currants’ we got from you
are making a fine growth and have propagated
well. We have 250 fine plants from cuttings
taken from the plants, many of them twenty-
four inches high now.’—A. I*. Martin & Sons,
Nurserymen, Deiphi, Ind.
“Weare favorably impressed with the ‘North
Star Currant’ as far as our experience has gone.
It was quite late last spring before we were able
to get the plants out that we received from you,
yet many of them have made a large growth,
some even three feet.”—I. I. Igenfritz & Sons,
Nurserymen, Monroe, Mich.
“The ‘North Star Currants’ that I set for my-
self are all growing and most of them have
blossomed. I set seventy-two roots. They are
extra bushes. The man that I sold 500 of them
to says that every one of them is growing, and
he is well pleased with them.’—C, H. Moore,
Hicksville, Ohio.
“The currants I got of you March 15th are
growing finely; have two or three bunches of
currants on them, and a single branch has
grown twelve inches.’’—I". J. Hines, Nebraska,
Ohio.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY OF OUR PACKING AND THE
QUALITY OF OUR PLANTS.
“Currants arrived to-day O. IK. Were fine
and in fine condition.”’—Geo. J. Spear, Greeley,
Colo.
“Plants received in good condition. The best
I ever saw.”—J. P. Norris, Richmond, Ind.
“The ‘North Star Currants’ are at hand.
They are grand; the finest I ever saw. ‘Chey
are well rooted and strong plants, and ean’t
help but give satisfaction to all who see them.”
—C. H. Moore, Hicksville, Ohio.
“T received the ‘North Star Currants’ you sent
me March 15th. They are the finest and larg-
est bushes I ever received by mail. Am highly
pleased with them.”’—I*. J. Hines, Nebraska,
Ohio.
“The ‘North Star Currants’ received in fine
condition. If they do not live it is my fault.
Regret that I did not send for more.”—G. U. 8.
Hovey, White Church, Kansas.
“The ‘North Star Currants’ came to hand yes-
treday. They are indeed fine—good roots,
thrifty and vigorous. Only wish that I had two
or three acres of them in bearing. I have an
idea that there is more money in currants than
in any other small fruit.’”,-—R. C. Keel, Nursery-
man, Rochester, Minn.
“Your ‘North Star Currants’ came in the finest
condition of any nursery stock that I ever re-
ceived. They were as fresh as when taken from
the ground, although they were eleven days on
the road. The bushes were extra large and fine
for two-year-old stock. and I am very well
pleased with them.’”—W. H. Chaffee, Nursery-
man, Pine City, Cal.
«“T write to acknowledge the receipt of three
‘North Star Currants’ which arrived in good
condition last night by mail, I never saw plants
better packed for shipping a distance.”—J. W.
Barton, M. D., Flushing, L. I.
“The plants, grapes and currants came to
hand in due time. I want to again compliment
you on their good condition and fine roots. I
have been buying plants for over twenty-five
vears, and have never received a lot in better, if
as good, condition as those from you.’’—John
Pritchett, Alexandria, Minn.
“The 100 ‘North Star Currants’ were received
in excellent condition and were perfectly satis-
factory. As regards packing, we know of no im-
provement that we could suggest. If all the
goods you send out are packed as well as those
sent us, no reasonable man ean find any fault,
besides the stock was ‘A No. 1’ in every partic-
ular.’—Wm. M. Peters’ Sons, Nurserymen,
Wesley, Md.
“The 100 plants of the ‘North Star Currant’
ordered of you arrived here on the 28th in the
very best condition.””—L. Spath, Nurseryman,
Rixdorf-Berlin, Germany.
Note—The above were shipped September 23d
and arrived at destination on October 28th.
“To say that we were exceedingly well
pleased with the ‘North Stars’ and your busi-
ness-like methods of dealing and promptness, is
putting the case mildly. It was the best graded
and best packed stock we ever bought from any
firm.”—M. Barnes & Co., Nurserymen, Groes-
beck, Ohio.
“Too much cannot be said in praise of your
‘North Star Currant’ and the nains you take
in packing goods for shipment. The currants
after being set out only a few days, and with
young growth two inches long on them, passed
through a snow storm which covered the ground
to a depth of eighteen inches and was quite
cold, coming out in~ excellent condition. The
new growth is now (May 28th) six inches long,
and currants are forming on one of the bushes.
I believe that ‘The North Star'Currant’ is the
currant for any one wanting good, hardy stock,
|
|
|
as they will apparently stand any amount of cold.
We are up on the Sierra Nevada mountains, at
an altitude of 6,000 feet. where only strong
stock does well.”’—W, H. Chaffee & Co., Pine
City, Cal.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY OF THE FRUIT.
“Were we to grow fruit for market we would
prefer to cultivate this new currant alone.”—
Hudson & Allen.
“T got two plants of the ‘North Star Currant’
in the fall of 1891, and I find it is an immense
bearer, good size and of best quality. Am sorry
that I did not get more of them at that time.”—
Daniel D. Herr, Lancaster, Pa. (Nurseryman.)
“T received also from you a few ‘North Star
Currants’ that fruited last year. The fruit was
large and very fine. These make an improve-
ment in our small fruit garden.”—Wim Somer:
ville, Viola, Minn.
“The ‘North Star Currants’ I got of you last
spring have adapted themselves nicely to this
locality. They have done better than I even ex-
pected they would the first season, being planted
late in the spring. Quite a number of berries of
a superior quality this season. By all appear-
ances it will prove first class.”,—Jacob Barge,
Minneapolis, Minn.
“After another year’s trial of two varieties of
currants, which we imported from England at a
high cost, we have discarded both as inferior
and rooted out every plant of all the varieties
we ever imported. Only the Cherry is larger
than the ‘North Star.’ We write this to show
how persistently we haye pursued this line of
investigation. Our opinion of the ‘North Star’
was never more favorable than now. Our
plants have produced several bushels, in such
quantity and quality that we are more than
pleased with them.’—J. W. Adams & Co., Nur-
serymen, Springfield, Mass.
State Board of Agriculture, Rhode Island—Re-
port, 1892-3:
Among those currants which I value both for
market and home use, a new sort, called ‘The
North Star,” and at present held at high prices,
stands very near the head of the list.
“Two years ago I bought some ‘North Star
Currants’ and set them out on my place. To-
day they are loaded with beautiful fruit. Al-
though the bushes have been neglected, they
have grown large, and [I think beat all the cur-
rants ever introduced.”—John Horrigan, Mount
Pleasant, Minn.
“The new currant, ‘The North Star,’ is a good
grower, great bearer, and of good quality, and
hangs on to the plants a long time after being
thoroughly ripe. Were I to grow currants for
market I should plant this variety in preference
to any other.’”’—William Allen, Prospect Hill.
Trom one of the oldest firms in the Hastern
states:
“You ask if the ‘North Star Currant’ is still
the best. We would plant no other variety for
market.”
T'rom the Florist Exchange:
“The ‘North Star Currant’ put on the market
two years ago by the Jewell Nursery Co., of
Minnesota, has evidently proved to be quite an
acquisition to our list of standard varieties, for
we notice that in mary of the spring catalogues
it is highly spoken of by leading nurserymen,
who seldom ecatalogue any new fruit or
give it words of praise until fairly well
tested upon their own grounds. The chief
points of merit about the ‘North Star’ seem to
be that it is a far more rapid, stronger grower
than any other variety we have. The berries
are of medium size, about the same as the Vic-
toria, but the bunches are very long and fur-
nished in great abundance. This variety alse
has the faculty of holding its foliage until very
late in the fall, thus aiding to develop the
strongest possible fruit buds.”
“Our fruit growers are getting a chance at
last to secure the best currant on earth—the
‘North Star.” Our sales of the ‘North Star’
last spring were indeed remarkable, and it
would serve to show that growers want tha
best. Your services as originators of the
‘North Star’ can best be appreciated by imagin-
ing the commonwealth without this exquisite
fruit. We have noted on our grounds the ex-
cellence of the berry, the large size and com-
pactness of the bunches and the vigor of the
plants.””"—T. C. Keyitt, Prospect Hill Nurseries,
Athenia, N. J.

An elegant, dark green, dense growing ever-
green, especially adapted for ornamental hedges,
cemetery use,etc. Being of a dwarf habit, and of
such a dark, beautiful green, it is the evergreen
above all others for low ornamental hedges, bor-
ders, groups, etc., where heavy growth is not de-
sired. No other evergreen can compare with it in
color or density of growth. Two of the essentials
ot a first-class hedge plant.
It can be sheared in any form desired, and when
setas a hedge, forms one of the most attractive
adjuncts that a lawn or yard can possess.
It should be planted from a foot to eighteen
inches apart, kept well cultivated and mulched till
it is established. With the exception of an annual
shearing, which should be done in the spring after
the new growth has started. it will need no fur-
ther care, and will give an attractiveness to a lawn
or yard that can be produced in no other way. We
all know how the addition of a neat hedge adds to
the beauty of a home. Not only this, but it will
add a cash value to any place, should the owner
wish to sell.
The Savin is the easiest of all evergreens to
transplant. It has a mass of fibrous roots and will
live under treatment that would kill other ever-
greens. Not one in one hundred will fail to grow
if properly handled. If you wish an ornamental
hedge this is the plant to use. It is such a dense
grower, being about as broad as it is high, that
plants from 12 to 18 inches are the most desirable
to set out. Itis the evergreen par excellence for an
ornamental hedge. Should be set in the spring,
any time from the middle of April to the 15th of
May. We havea large stock and offer first-class
plants, 12 to 18 inches, for spring shipment only,
at the following low rate:
25c each, $2.50 per dozen, $15.00 per 100.

The Okabena Apple.
4 TO 5 FEET IN HEIGHT.
Originated at Worthington, Nobles Co., Minnesota, the
original tree standing on the summit of the divide between
the Mississippi and the Missouri systems. ‘Lhe parent tree
is twenty-five years old, thrifty, vigorous and free from
blight, or black heart, and has borne eighteen annual crops
of fruit. Its parentage, as well as we can trace, is a
seedling from the Duchess of Oldenburg and the Wealthy,
resembling very much in nursery the Wealthy, a rapid
growing tree, straight fine fibrous roots in great quantity,
the bark a deep, rich, wine color, and is covered with a
broom or fuzz, similar to the Walbridge. We have planted
this tree, experimentally, since 1885, in the most trying
locations, from Minnesota and Montana, and wherever set
it has done well. Cions top-worked into ‘transcendent,
where the entire Transcendent top of the tree has been
struck with blight, have cut fresh and green without stain
below the point where the blight had worked on the cion.
This we consider a. very searching and trying test.
‘Lhe fruit is medium in size, a little larger than the
Fameuse, deep rich red in color, oftentimes being striped,
the stripes or bands running from stem to blossom in dis-
tinct solid color, borne in clusters too abundant for the
good of the tree or the fruit, the season is from December
to February, and will take the place of the Wealthy or the
Fameuse, flesh white, tender, and of superior flavor. This
apple is vur best, quality, habit of growth and hardiness
being considered and we recommend it for planting in any
location in the northwest, in which the Transcendent crab
has been successfully grown. We have copyrighted the
name of the tree and no other nurseryman tn the world ts
authorized to offer the trees for sale
Each tree sent out by us will have a metal tag or label,
on which is stamped the name “Okabena,” and our trade
mark.
We paid $1,000 cash for the right to propagate this
tree and we confidently recommend it to all planters.
Price $1.00 each; $5.00, six; $10.00, twelve.

The Northwest demands a new currant, large, hardy,
prolific and of superior quality. These are combined in
our new Worth Stur, sonamed from our state, its place of
introduction.
This is a seediing with a test of nearly ten years.
It is a strong, vigorous grower, the annual growth of wood
being frequently from two to four feet, a thick, large,
healthy leaf, very upright in growth, not inclined to bush
out or spread, of perfect habit to force into the tree form.
The fruit is borne in clusters averaging four inches in
length, very uniform in size (thirty of them from a single
bunch lying side by side, the line thus formed measuring
twelve inches in length) the quality of the best, free from
the tartness or acidity so prevalent in red currants, and
excelling in the quantity produced. The ordinary currant
is so small, the bunches so short and the fruit spurs dis-
tributed and so interrupted with leaf buds, that it is
very tedious to pick. The fruit of the North Star being in
clusters, the leaves and fruit being separate, it is rapid work
to gather and its quality commands aready market for it at
superior prices. It remains on the bushes a long time after
ripening and does not fall from the branch as do other cur-
rants. We can conceive of no better currant than the
North Star. Each plant will have attached to it a metal
tag, bearing our trade mark and the name North Star.
Price $ .40 each; $4.00 for twelve; $25.00 per 100.
