Green's Nursery Co,,

“KJ Rochefter, It. ).

Personal—We give on this page a portrait of Abnet
Green, a pioneer, and a veteran promoter of gardens and
orchards, also of Charles A. Green, his son, editor of
GREEN’S FRUIT GROWER, author of Green’s Five Books on
Fruit Culture, How to Propagate Fruits, etc., Secretary of
the American Association of Nurserymen and our manager.
‘Twelve years’ of Gfty has given patrons confidence. We
have permissign to refer strangers to the Flour City Nation-
al Bank, Rochester, N. Y., regarding Green’s Nursery
Co. Charles A. Gféen has permission to refer to Hon. C.
k. Parsons, Mayor of Rochester, N. Y., and to Hon. John
M. Davy, late Member of Congress, Rochester, N. Y.

The berry fields, vineyards and orchards that came from
our nurseries, and are planted all over this country from
ocean to ocean testify in their productiveness louder than
words the purity and vigor of our stock. These bearing
vines and trees, and our pleased patrons, are our best ad-
vertisement to-day, leading new patrons to deal with us.

Remittance for Amount must, in all cases,
accompany the order. ‘This is imperative, as we open no
book accounts with our customers, and this is the ordinary
rule of nurserymen, and is a reasonable one. We have been
years in building up a business, and are known to the pub-
lic.- Moreover, our success depends on fair and careful
dealing. We believe that it depends still more on liberal
dealing, and our old patrons will testify that we have con-
sulted their interests as truly as our own. We prefer
taking a liberal course with low prices, to doing a credit
business, assured that it is the better tor both parties.
Remit by Post Office or Express Order, Draft on New York
or Registered Letter. We prefer a Post Office or Express
order ; next, Draft on New York ; and lastly a Registered
Letter. The remittance will not only be at our risk, if
made in any of the preceding ways, but additional vines,
etc., will be added to cover the expense.

SPN. COPYRIGHTED 1889.

“ He that will not when he may,
When he will he shall have nay.”’

If we have not been provident we see
only the blossoms in other gardens and fields than our own. If we
have planted trees we view with pleasant anticipations. If not we are
regretful. It costs but little to plant a tree. No one is too poor to plant,
but many are too thoughtless. They put off until next year, and the
next, and never plant. If you would see your children play and gather
fruit beneath the trees you have planted begin now. Do not delay.
What is a fruit tree in bearing worth? Would you sell a bearing
Bartlett pear tree from your garden for $50? What delight have men,
women or children in a home without fruit trees, vines and plants? It is
a dreary, cheerless place. Who can blame children from wishing to get
away from such a home ?

BOOKS ON FRUIT CULTURE.

T May time we see the blossoming orchards that promise bountiful
yields of delicious fruit.

’ M HI
pninrnear ee : But you may say, “‘I know nothing about trees, etc. I shall not
succeed with them.” Vou can easily learn. Our C. A. Green, Rochester, N, Y., has 5 Books treating of :
1st, Plum and Cherry Culture; 2d, Raspberry and Blackberry Culture; 3d, Apple and Pear Culture ;
4th, Guide to Grape Culture ; 5th, Guide to Strawberry Cultute. Matthew Crawford says, ‘‘ Each number
contains more information than any one issue of any other publication.” ‘‘ Your books have been worth
$50 to me,” says another grower. The Vineyardistsays: We regard it as among the most reliable hor-
ticultural publications,” He also edits GREEN’s FRUIT GROWER, a paper devoted to fruit culture. Both
the 5 Books and paper now will be sent you for 25 cents, leaving you no reason to be in need of instruc-
tion on this important subject. How to Propagate Fruits is another book we will mail for 25 cents ;
Thomas’ American Fruit Culturist $2.00; Saunder’s Insects Injurious to Fruit $3,00, etc.

A GOOD REPUTATION.

This is what we have been working for the past twelve years. Charles Downing has told us how he
could not sell his trees when he began, but as soon as people found that his trees were true to name he
could not grow enough to supply the demand. This has been our experience, We are compelled each
year to increase our capacity, our buildings, our force of laborers and packers to keep pace with our
increasing orders. ‘“‘ We have heard from our friends that you are reliable and fair dealing men, and we
want your trees,’’ write many people. ‘* We want your trees and vines ; they are true to name.”’

BARGAINS IN SURPLUS STOCK.

We always have a surplus of valuable plants, vines, and trees that we can sell, to be sent in May, at a
great reduction. If you wish to make the most of a little money send us $1.00 or $5.00, or any amount
over $1.00, asking for the value of money sent from surplus stock, without naming varieties, leaving all
selections to our Charles A. Green, who will send you by mail, express or freight, as you may request, a
valuable package of choice plants, vines or trees. We guarantee you a larger and better lot of stock than
could be secured in any other way or at any other place. Try us on an order for surplus stock. If you
prefer trees say so; or if you prefer plants and vines say so. Confine small orders to plants, vines or trees.

GREEW’S FRUIT FERTILIZER.

We are often asked for something to make plants and trees grow and bear more abundantly, there-
fore have prepared a fertilizer such as we use with remarkable results, taking ‘the place of liquid manure,
which is troublesome. For potted house plants it is invaluable. Price for trial package by mail, 6 to 8
cunces, 25 cents; 1 pound, by mail, 50 cents; 5 pounds, or over, by express, 18 cents per pound.

2 GREEN'S NURSERY CO.—REMARKS.

WHOLESALE ORDERS. '

If yon want $20.00 worth or more do not send for wholesale list, but send full list of each variety
wanted and number of each kind, size, age, etc., and full particulars, and we will attach lowest possible
prices. We can sell large lots cheaper than small lots, as it costs less to fill orders of too of é€ach variety
than one of each variety. Submit your list for fewer varieties if you wish lowest prices and best paying
results in orchards, etc. If a dealer, mark your list
or order Dealer's Order, that it may receive proper
attention.

OUR NURSERY AND OUR MEN.

Our nursery contains 143 acres of the best soil in
the county for growing trees, and is located near the
greatest nursery center in the world, hence our facilities
are unequaled. Our men are experienced in digging,
packing and handling stock. Much depends on the
digging and packing. Our patrons praise our packing.
We take the utmost pains and no loss occurs, trees
arriving in perfect condition after a long journey.

The great mistake in setting out fruit trees is to get
the largest size, supposing that thereby you will get
fruit sooner. In taking up large trees, the roots must
be cut off more or less, and the very part that is thus
cut off is the end of the roots where all the fine fibres
are found. Small trees have finer and more fibrous
roots, and these all growing in a bunch, are taken up
with the tree, and when transplanted the small trees
grow right ahead—not being worked back and forth
by hard winds, while the large trees are swayed to
and fro ; also, 100 small trees can be packed in a close
bunch, with moss all among the roots, and the cost
of express or freight light, while large trees cannot be
so well protected from air, and the freight or express
charges are very much less on small trees. A five to
six foot tree is as large size as we would advise ship-
ping, while we would order for a long distance smaller
trees. Distant patrons order trees, etc., to be sent by
mail.

SIZE OF TREES.

SHIPPING FACILITIES.

Freight rates are now reduced one-third everywhere if packed in boxes, and we charge cost of boxes
only, you paying freight or express. Express rates are also reduced, as lines have consolidated, reaching
more distant points direct. We have special low express rates which benefits every patron. We ship to
the most distant parts of the United States and Canada with safety. Do not let distance prevent ordering.

We cannot state just what it will cost to ship any one order without consuming too much time. You
can learn better at your depot. The weight of stock packed will be about as follows perioo: Apple, Pear,
Plum, Cherry and Peach Trees, 100 Ibs. ; Peach 3 to 4 feet, Quinces, etc., 50 lbs. ; Grapes, Currants and
Gooseberries, two years, 30 lbs. ; ditto, one year, 20 lbs. ; Black Raspberries, 5 lbs. ; Strawberries, in
light crates designed for the purpose, 40 lbs. per 1,000.

We ship from October Ist to June Ist, taking plants from cellar in winter, but the spring packing
begins in earnest April 1st. Being located well north (and northern grown stock grows best the world
over), we can ship later than most nurseries. Order early. It pays.

WE AIM to keep fully abreast of an enlightened and cultivated taste, in. the introduction of new and
valuable varieties of fruits, and novelties and valuable acquisitions in ornamentals—accepting with pleasure
everything that has real merit, we shall, with equal readiness, discard and discountenance the sale of those
varieties which are less meritorious. Through our system of securing most of the new varieties that have
merits, and testing them in our sample orchard, vtneyards, berry fields and beds before listing them in our
catalogue and recommending them to our patrons, we have knowledge as to which varieties are best
for various localities. Guided by our experience from this plan, we have, in this Catalogue, dropped out a
large number of varieties that have proved of but little value with us, and added a number of new ones,
which we can recommend to our patrons.

DISTANCES FOR PLANTING.—Standard apples, 20 feet apart each way ; Standard Pears and strong
growing Cherries, 20 feet apart each way ; Duke and Morello Cherries, 18 feet apart each way ; Standard
Plums, Apricots, Peaches, Nectarines, 16 to 18 feet apart each way ; Dwarf’ Pears, 10 to 12 feet apart each
way ; Quince, 8 to Io feet apart each way ; Grapes, rows Io to 12 ft. apart, 7to 10 ft. in rows ; Currants
and Gooseberries, 3 to 4 ft, apart ; Raspberries and Blackberries, 3 to 4 ft. by 5 to 7 ft. apart ; Strawber-
‘ries for field culture, 1 to1'4 by 3 to 3% feet apart ; Strawberries for garden culture, 1 to 2 feet apart.

_ Norr.—A most excellent way in planting an apple or standard pear orchard 30 feet apart is to plant dwarf
pears or peaches in between. Give all good culture, with applications of yard manure if soil isnot already rich.

THE JESSIE STRAWBERRY.

STRAWBERRIES.

STRAWBERRY CULTURE.

The Strawberry will grow on any corn or wheat soil—any place where potatoes grow. On high lands
the blossoms are less liable to be injured by late spring frosts. Plant in rows three feet apa-t, one foot
apart in the row if for horse cultivation. Do not double up the roots and crowd into a shallow hole,
neither bury the crown (leaves) too deeply, for if you do they will rot. LLengthen out the roots and per-
mit them to reach down full length into the soil, then hold the top at same depth it stood before being dug,
and pack in the soil firmly. The packing of earth firmly about plants, vines and trees when transplanting
is of vital importance. It prevents drying out by sun and wind. Keep plants in a pail while planting,
with just a little water to keep the roots moist. Keep the soil clean by frequent cultivation. Do not permit
many runners to take root if you want large berries. The narrower the row of plants the better.

Charles A. Green’s Book on the Strawberry gives such full particulars (price 10 cents), therefore
we do not deem it best to occupy space here with more about culture.

JESSIE STRAWBERRY.

We are the sole introducers of the Jessie, and take just pride in the record this noble variety.has made,
‘standing attacks.of drouth and hard treatment better than most kinds, yet responding liberally to good
culture, and giving unheard of yields with extra treatment. The yield secured by Mr. Davis, of Massachu-
setts was at the rate of 1,184 bushels per acre,. planted two feet apart each way. Nothing of the kind was
ever heard of before, 4134 pounds of berries were picked from twelve plants, and a pound is about a quart

+ GREEN’S NURSERY CO—STRAWBERRIES.

Our experience proves by actual tests that the Jessie is the best large eatly strawberry on earth. It
heads the list in Canada and the United States. Its prominent points are :

I. Superior quality ; a fragrant nectar bearing capsule, delighting the hearts of all who partake.

2. Great vigor and healthfulness of plant, and adaptability to various localities.

3. Good form, and great beauty of color ; a deep bright crimson.

4. Firmness. It is the firmest large berry grown, and the best shipper.

5. It ripens on all sides at once; ripens very early, and stout stems hold the fruit well up from the
ground.

6. It continues large to the last picking, and is an enormous yielder.

7. It endures drouth best of all the kinds we have tested, and makes new plants rapidly.

Jessie is the work of a life-time. Mr. Loudon has spent his best years in perfecting this variety, cast-
ing aside thousands as worthless in comparison. The encouragements, the discouragements that would lead
a man through a series of years, from one generation to another, raising such a berry as the Jessie are mar-
velous.

We give here a portrait of Mr. E. C. Davis of Northamp-
ton, Mass., a noted civil engineer, who won the $25 prize
offered by us. He grew 4134 pounds of Fruit from Twelve
Plants. The largest berry was 9% inches in size - yielding at
the rate of 1,184 bushels per acre. He reports as follows :

‘“ My bed comprises forty-three varieties, from the earliest to
the latest. Some want a full specification of conditions of soil
and culture to be complied with before they are satisfied. Oth-
ers seem to say, ‘give me half a chance and I will do my best
for you.’ Foremost among these is the ‘‘ Jessie.” This is my _
second summer with it. It seems to do equally well on both
plain and meadow land, making a larger growth of foliage on
the latter, with ‘‘ honors easy’” between the two as to fruit.
— All the plants lived and in three days after settling I could see
the faint outlines of the word ‘‘business”’ written on their
leaves, growing plainer each day, and finally becoming fully

developed at fruiting time. It is simply wonderful and beats
/ everything I have ever seen or dreamed of among strawberries.
If there is any defect about it I have yet to discover it. God
might have made a better strawberry than the “‘ Jessie ” but
He never did. They are solid, meaty, and full from outside to
center of the delicious, woodsy flavor and fragrance of the wild
strawberry.”

Lithograph of Jessie sent free to all who apply. Buy Jessie plants of us, as we are the introducers and
have them pure and true. Unscrupulous men have sold poor varieties, labeling them Jessie, to our injury
and the planters loss. One planter ordered 40,000 potted Jessie plants of us last fall. The rush for plants
was never equalled by any other variety. Price of Jessie plants, 25 cents for 12, post-paid ; 75 cents per
100, by express. Wholesale price per 1,000, $5.00.

The Cloud Seedling Strawberry (P)—

was fruiting all about him, with ordinary culture,

See the beautiful lithograph on back cover of this
Catalogue. The cry now is for a very early straw-
berry. This has led us at great expense to intro-
duce to our patrons the Cloud Seedling, which is
evidently ahead of all others in earliness of ripen-
ing.

Its leading features are: (1) The earliest to
ripen. (2) Good quality, great beauty of color
and regularity of form. (3) Extraordinary vigor
and great endurance, rapidly covering the soil with
dark green sturdy plants which readily adapt
themselves to different localities. (4) Unusual
productiveness, rewarding the planter with im-
mense crops ; ripening quick for the earliest mar-
ket, when prices are twice as high as they are for
late ripening varieties. (5) It is the earliest large
strawberry, and the largest early strawberry.

The Rev. W. S. Mason one year ago called our
attention to the Cloud Seedling, stating that it

in a way to astonish all beholders. He sent us
plants in January, which we planted in a box of
earth and placed near a window. Not one plant
died. All grew like weeds, and when transplanted
in the field the roots had filled every inch of the
box. We have tried growing other kinds in this
manner and always failed, yet these Cloud Seed-
lings came by mail thousands of miles, and were
subject to long delays. Not one died when plant-
ed in the field, and by fall the ground was matted
with vigorous young plants. These plants bore
fruit the past season. The form and color is
attractive ; berry firm enough to endure long ship-
ment ; of good quality and plenty of it. Indeed
it impressed us so favorably we desired at once to .
extend our planting, hence our decisive step in
undertaking its introduction. We can say with
confidence that no: one need fear that the Cloud
Seedling will not endure hot suns and unconge-

nial soils, for it has been fully tested in these
respects and found to be all that could be desired.

A reliable fruit-growing-friend of ours writes:
‘* Plants of Cloud set last spring here formed mat-
ted rows three to four feet wide, in which the plants

CLOUD STRAWBERRY.
stand eight inches high, and yet they are on poor

soil, with no manure.” Our own experience is
much like this, poor soil and rank growth, showing
that Cloud is not a variety that needs petting.
The Rev. W. A. Mason writes as follows :—
““This new berry has forced itself into favor
wherever known without advertising. It was dis-
covered about four years ago, and since that time
has almost supplanted every other variety as a
market berry. It is shipped to Chicago and com-
mands the highest prices there. At the last meet-
ing of the American Horticultural Society, it cre-
ated a sensation. A resident gentleman stated

that he saw a test of three rows of the same length,
side by side, in which Captain Jack yielded 5
quarts, Crescent 7, and the Cloud 14 quarts. Of
21 varieties on my place, it is the most vigorous
grower, and twice as productive as any other kind.
Plants set early commenced bearing April 15th,
coming in with the Crystal City, and bore till June
15th, and had full crops on all the time, forming
immense stools and making runners at the same
time. I have counted 21 large berries on one
fruit stem. ts fruit ts more uniformly large than
any other strawberry I ever saw. Its shape is re-

gular, much like Gandy or Jersey Queen. It has
the most vigorous roots I ever saw. Last spring,
I sent plants to several Northern states. Good

results as to growth, etc.. come from all quarters.
A Maryland grower writes me that his Clouds are
the prettiest plants in his county. “Both Mr.
Cloud and a Mr. Strickland contend for the right
to name, but the American Horticultural Society
adopted the name of ‘ Cloud.’ ”

Price, 75 cents per 12, by mail post paid; $4
per 100 ; $30 per 1000 by express.

Covill’s Early—We
have fruited this two
seasons and find it the gz
earliest of all olderé
kinds. It is a hardy,
healthy plant; fruit
firm, dark red, resembling Wilson somewhat ; pro-
ductive, but not holding out large at the last. It
is valuable for very early, and an early berry is
much needed. No one will be disappointed in
Covyill’s Early.

Pineapple—We obtained this froma fruit grower
in Maryland who claims that it has produced 20,-
ooo quarts to the acre. It has not fruited for us,
but is making a satisfactory growth. It is claimed
to combine productiveness, size and flavor in a
greater degree than any other berry yet offered.
An effort was made last spring by nurserymen to
get control of the variety, whether they succeeded
or not we do not know. Price, 50 cents for 12;

Bubach (No. 5) P—We have found this to be a
valuable variety. In vigor of plant and yield of
fruit, it is remarkable even under careless culture.
The fruit is large and handsome, specimens in
many instances, being far above theaverage. Un.
fortunately, however, the fruit is so soft as to ren-
der it unfit for long shipment. Were it not for
this, and the blossom being pistillate, it would be
difficult to estimate its valueasa maincrop. Even
with these defects it is a very valuable strawberry.

HAVERLAND. It is of the Cres-
cent class, exceedingly productive, vigorous
plant, pale green, large leaves, makes plants
fast, but not so fast as Crescent. The

fruit is elongated, quite large, and ripens in
handfuls from each fruit stem. We see no
reason why it should not be a favorite. While
firmer than Crescent it is not so firm as Jessie, and
therefore will do best for home markets, Mr.
Crawford says the Haverland is all that was ever
claimed for It. It isa most luxuriant grower, and
unexcelled for productiveness. The fruit is large,
of good form and color, moderately firm and of
fair quality. It will be of great value for a near
market, as it will certainly surpass the Crescent in
size and probably in productiveness. Dozen, 75

Chas. Downing—An old well-known variety,
popular as a family berry by reason of its fine
flavor, productiveness and general adaptability to
all soils and locations. Succeeds from Maine to
California, but of late years in some sections its
foliage has been affected with rust and blight.
Should be included in all collections for the home
garden. Midseason. Dozen, 25 cents; 100, 50
cents ; 1000, $4.00.

Jewell (P)—Of feeble growth and light yield,
except on soil very fertile. . Under ordinary cul-
ture it is altogether too unproductive to be profit-

able. The fruit is large, handsome and good.
Dozen, 35 cents ; 100, $2.00.

Kentucky—Very popular as a late variety. The
plant is a good grower, very productive, and, like
the Downing, it succeeds on all soils and under
almost all conditions. Other and better late sorts
are now, however, taking its place, and it is in
much less demand now than some years ago.
Fruit is large and of fine flavor. One of the best.
Dozen, 25 cents ; 100, 60 cents ; 1000, $4.00.

Manchester—One of the best late berries for
home use and profitable for market in many sec-
tions. Its chief fault is with its foliage, which
rusts badly on heavy soils. Succeeds admirably
upon light sandy soil. The plant is a strong
grower and exceedingly productive. Fruit large,

uniform in size and shape, of good quality and
moderately firm. Late to very late. Dozen, 25
cents ; 100, 60 cents; 1000, $4.00.

Miner’s Prolitic—Somewhat similar to Chas.
Downing, but is larger, darker in color, and its
foliage does not burn, but is clean and healthy.
Berries are ridges and furrowed, of mild pleasant
flavor, but soft for distant shipment. Very pro-
ductive. Midseason. Dozen, 25 cents; 100, 60
cents ; 1000, $5.00.

Old Ironclad (Prefs)\—The fruit of this variety
resembles the Wilson so closely, both in-color and
general appearance, that they cannot readily be
distinguished apart. It is also very firm and of
medium size. The plant is vigorous, healthy and
productive. Firm and of fair quality. Early.
Dozen, 25 cents ; 100, 60 cents ; 1000, $5.00.

Wilson (4l/any)—Too well-known for descrip-
tion ; once the most popular berry, but now super-
ceded by better and more vigorous sorts. It is
still grown in many localities where it is yet profit-
able. Our plants are grown from one selected
plant, and is a pure and imprcved strain of the old
Wilson. Early to medium. Dozen, 25 cents ;

RASPBERRIES.

HOW to PRUNE the RASPBERRY.

Any good farm soil will produce raspberries, but
they abhor low, wet, undrained land. Nothing is
more simple than the management of raspberries.
Plant in spring or fall in rows 5 to 7 feet apart, 3
feet apart in the rows, and keep clean of weeds. Do
not expose roots to sun and wind a moment at plant-
ing. Handle plants carefully, so as not to break
off new sprouts. Our Book shows how to trim and

cut back, and how to propagate tips of black
raspberries. Suckering kinds should have canes
thinned out or hoed down, or they will become too
numerous. We will mail you C. A. Green’s Book on
the Raspberry and Blackberry for Io cents, giving
full particulars.

Johnston’s Sweet (&/ack)—This new black-.
cap from Western New York is making many
friends by the numerous good qualities which are

becoming more apparent as it

g becomes generally tested. The

YA. special claims made for it are

its remarkable sweetness and

great value for evaporating
and canning purposes anda
striking proof of its merit is.
the fact that it has made its.

' way, quietly and unobtrusive-

a a ly without any pushing or
backing by anyone. The canes are of strong,
vigorous growth, with healthy and clean foliage,
hardy and equal to any other variety in product-
iveness. The berries are large—a trifle less than

Gregg—of a deep black color, without bloom,

quite firm, very sweet and delicious in fiavor. It

is the best for evaporating, makes a very bright
stock, stands up well in picking and handling,
and works excellently in the evaporator. The

Erie Preserving Company, of Buffalo, N. Y.,

says of it: “‘ The nicest and sweetest blackcap

ever put up in cans.” Its season of ripening is
about with the Tyler, making the largest early
blackcap. Doz., $1.00 ; 100, $5.00.

it is spoken of in the highest praise. It
has also been very fully tested in
Northern Ohio, and has given general
satisfaction. It promises great merit,

very early varieties. The canes are of
fine healthy growth, and productive.
Berries of good size and exceedingly
fine quality. Mr. Matthew Crawford,
of Ohio, writes that he thinks the Hil-
born is the best black-cap he has ever
tested. We regard it as a variety pos-
sessing great merit, and destined to be-
come a favorite, especially for home
use, by reason of its fine quality and.

5 Prolific—‘ An extra

early variety of great prom-

ise and a chance seedling
from Ohio. It was the
first of all red raspberries
to ripen on our grounds by
fully a week, and the fruit
was large, bright in color, firm and of excellent
quality. The canes make a good, strong growth,
and hardy. We also saw it at its home near

Cleveland, O., where it was tully as fine, the canes

making an exceedingly vigorous growth, and

yielding a heavy crop.”’

A representative of Popular Gardening visited our
grounds the last of July, and in his notes and obser-
vations this is what he says: ‘‘ A very early red, over
which he is particularly enthusiastic, and of which
he is planting the largest area of any early variety,
is a seedling of his own, and which he has named
Early Prolific. From this, during the past season,
he picked ripe fruit June rgth. From the appear-
ance of plants set the past spring, quite a crop was
gathered, while the new growth, from plants grow-
ing on loose gravelly soil, exposed to the full effects
of drought, appeared bright and vigorous, presenting
a marked contrast to the Hansell alongside, the
latter being mildewed and burned.” NEMEHA BLACK RASPBERRY.

Nemaha Black Raspberry—We have had
the Nemaha growing near the Gregg and other

than Gregg, Souhegan and Tyler, bearing a full
crop of fruit where the Gregg was almost a total

was hardier than Gregg and three years’ trial
proves our claim to be well founded. While the
Gregg has therefore been our largest and most
profitable blackcap, it has failed in hardiness, and
we have seen for a long time that any variety
that would equal it in size and productiveness,
and prove hardier, would bea great boon. The SHAFFER’S COLOSSAL.

BLACKBERRIES.

Older people can remember how large and sweet
were wild blackberries. This teaches that a mulch
of leaves, straw or manure, or shallow culture in
loose soil is desirable, but I have yet to see the soil
in which the blackberry will not give good crops as
it isa great yielder. Plant in’ rows 7x3 feet and
shorten simply to make room to get among them to
aoe and gather fruit. Avoid low, wet land. Sandy
loam is the best. Send 10 cents for C. A. Green’s
Book on Blackberry Culture and learn all about the
subject, including garden and field culture, with
illustrations.

son river looking after this new blackberry. We
offered $1,500 for the exclusive control of it, but

that offer was declined.
We have a high opinion
of its value. During the

closely watched this plant,
and judging it by its
strong growth, prolific ,
bearing, fine appearance #y}

GRAPES.

When we consider how easily all the hardy fruits
are grown is it strange that so many people have
such a scant supply about their homes? The grape
bears profusely and requires but little attention.
Planted so as to be trained beside the house or
barn it requires no trellis, and is an object of great
beauty. Indeed it thrives best in such a location.

For the field or garden row cut back the young
vines to three eyes and plant 8 to Io feet apart each
way. Pruning consists of thinning out the old
wood and keeping the past season’s growth in check
after cutting back to two buds each new cane, except
two or more canes to cover the trellis. C. A.
Green’s Book on the Grape gives full particulars
with many illustrations. It will be mailed for Io
cents.

The Moyer Early Red Grape—tThis new
grape, of which send for free lithograph,
originated in Canada, and is a cross between
the Delaware and some purely native variety, In
habit of growth, hardiness, quality and size of
cluster it resembles the Delaware very much, but
it ripens with the very earliest, has larger berries,
has been free from rot and mildew, even in places
and seasons where everything around is mildewed.
It has stood, unprotected, 35° below zero without
injury. It is very sweet as soon as colored, skin
tough, but thin; pulp tender, juicy, of delicious
flavor, and entirely free from foxiness. Imagine
a Delaware free from rot and mildew and early as
Champion, and you have an idea ot this most
valuable new variety, It never drops off its stem,
and when ripe gradually changes into raisins.
Moyer is no experiment with us. We know it is
the best early red grape for the whole country.
We have planted it largely ourselves, and recom-
mended others to do the same. We shall plant it
largely as an early market grape, to be sold and

out of the way before other good grapes are
thought of. Colored plate free.

The American Garden says: There is scarcely a
locality which has yet planted a variety that is fully
adapted toits needs. Hence we heartily welcome
any promising new variety when it shows as many
good points as does the Moyer, which we illustrate
on this page. The samples tested were thin, tough
skinned, sweet and pleasant flavored. The color of
the samples was much like that of Delaware. Its
extreme earliness, hardiness and vigor mark the
Moyer as a decided acquisition for northern lati-
tudes and for early market. Its shipping qualities
are excellent. As to earliness, many tests in differ-
ent localities show it to be fully as early as Cham-
pion. Were we to repeat all the good things said of
grape by good authorities we might well be charged
with lack of the conservatism.

CURRANTS.

Currants require a strong, rich soil, and respond
to applications of manure, yet bear so well with neg-
lect, most people give neglect only. But with good
culture the fruit is much larger with longer fruit
stems. The old wood should be thinned out, and

the new growth cut back each year. Keep powdered
hellebore on hand all ready to dust the bushes the
moment the worms attack the leaves, when the dew
ison. It is the merest trifle to keep off the worms
if the hellebore is applied in time. But after the
leaves are eaten is a poor time to begin.

Unless otherwise noted: Oneyear plants, dozen, 50
cents; roo, $3, rooo, $20. wo year plants,
dozen, 60 cents; 100, $3.50; 1000, $25.
by mail at ro cents per dozen; 50 ‘cents per r00 addi-

Lee’s Prolific—The best black currant for all
purposes. Early, large and productive. The

sweet as a huckleberry and much like it. Plant

Cherry and Versailles—kesemble each other

kinds and largest red currants, equally valuable
for the garden. Versailles has longer clusters ;
Cherry has slightly larger berries. Both valuable.

Fay’s Prolific—By odds the best red currant.
Large, wonderfully prolific, of good flavor and
less acid than the above. It by far surpasses all
other red varieties, is a strong grower and comes
into bearing early. Few new fruits excel this
valuable variety. Good reports are made of it
from all parts of the country. It makes an at-
tractive display in the garden both in modest
white flowers and in brilliant crimson fruit, blaz-
ing along the rows like flames of fire on a dark

night. Plant it, care for it and you will be well
rewarded. We offer a few Fay cuttings at 6oc.

GOOSEBERRIES.

Plant the gooseberry. The fruit is easily grown, is good for many purposes, for cooking and to eat
out of hand. It keeps long on the bushes and can be gathered at leisure. It should be planted in
the fall or early spring. Like the currant, the gooseberry is a gross feeder, and delights in a rich, moist
soil. The same cultural directions given for currants apply to the gooseberry.

One year by mail at 10 cents per dozen » 50 cents per 100 additional to prices given below.

. SOME: a ee HE Golden Prolific Goose-
SG oe berry is offered by us
now for the first time.
Its origin Was novel. A bird
dropped the seed in the crotch
of a living locust tree, 12 feet
above ground, at Rochester, N, Y. The
gooseberry plant took root and _ grew,
thus suspended in the air. It was later
plamed in a garden, where it developed
‘its fine character. The Rural Home editor
says: ‘* We found bushes showing a
good vigorous growth, and one of them,
not yet picked, heavily loaded with large,
handsome yellow fruit of excellent qual-
ity. It was singularly free from mildew,
although evidently of foreign origir It
will be a good mate to the Industry, that being red and this yellow.
To those who are unacquainted with the flavor of a large, ripe goose-
berry we would say that it will not suffer much in comparison with other fruits
of the season, eaten off hand, and many would prefer it to the raspberry,
whether red or black. Whether we provide berries for the family, or for mar-
ket, it is well to have as many good species as possible, for the taste soon
cloys on one species and seeks a variety. It isa strong grower with dark
as glaucous, healthy foliage. Its shoots, when young, are quite spiney and dis-
tinct. Fruit large, deep yellow, beautiful and of most excellent flavor. A heavy cropper. No Mildew.
Price $1.00 each, by mail or express. We have incurred great expense in offering this new Gooseberry.

FRUIT TREES.

Packing and Boxing—A charge of from
35 cents to $1.00 wlll be made for packing and box-
ing trees. No charge for packing plants.

Plant Small Trees—tThe veteran President,
T. T. Lyon, stakes his reputation on the fact that he
can get a bearing orchard as soon from small trees

-as large, and some think sooner.

Planting and Culture — Plant on well-
prepared soil, made fine and loose. Dig broad holes,
and press the fine earth firmly about the roots.

The after culture consists in keeping the soil loose
and free from weeds. A mulch of strawey manure
on top of the soil about each tree after planting is
better than watering. Watering is injurious as
usually done, but if wet down when planting with
dry earth on top, it is well. Send41o cents for C. A.
Green’s Book on the Apple and Pear, or for the
Plum and Cherry, giving full instructions.

Profits of Fruit Culture — There is a
growing interest in the cultivation of fruit. As we
of this generation are eating fruit from the trees our
fathers planted, it is our duty to keep on planting
Even if but
one tree in ten lives and bears well, that one.is worth
more than the cost of the whole ten. But with
proper care and discretion in selecting, planting, pre-
paring and cultivating the soil, nine out of ten will
live and bear fine fruit. In addition toapples, pears,
plums, cherries and quinces, the cultivation of black-
berries, raspberries, grapes and strawberries can be
strongly recommended to farmers who are complain-
ing of no money made in other branches of agricul-
ture.—Am. Cultivator.

Near Rochester there are 1,500 fruit evaporators,
giving employment to 30,000 hands, whose wages
average from $5 to $12 a week. Last season the
production of these evaporators was about 30,000,000
pounds, worth at first cost about $2,000,000. The
principal consuming countries abroad are Germany,
England, Belgium and France, in which the new
product has entirely displaced the old-fashioned, sun-
dried fruit.“ West Africa and Australia are also be-
ginning to call for evaporated fruit. Cider vinegar
is also a profitable method of using surplus fruit.
Send ro cents for Green’s special issues devoted to
these subjects. Apples can be grown with profit
simply to feed cattle, etc., also for jellies, sauces, etc.

Too Many Kinds—tThe mistake most or-
cnardists make is that of setting out too many vari-
eties of fruits. It is well to have different kinds
enough to supply a succession throughout the year
for home use ; but for market purposes the varieties
should be few, and those of the best and most salable
kinds. The greater part of the different kinds of
apples raised in any one locality might be termed
local varieties. The Baldwin, Rhode Island Green-
ing, Roxbury Russett, Northern Spy, Fameuse and
a few others, are best known, and in localities where
they flourish, are safe to raise. The Baldwin, for
productiveness and salability, stands at the head of
-market varieties. In sections where it thrives, more

money can be made from it than from any other
apple. Baldwin trees will produce more apples, with
fewer of second quality, than any other variety.
Two or three varieties are sufficient for a large
market orchard.

How to Buy—My method of buying trees,
etc., is to send to nurserymen for their catalogues,
in the winter. Then, while seated about the fire
evenings and at other times, we examine and discuss
them, and try to find out what the papers say if any
new variety is underconsideration. Towards spring
an order is made out and sent by mail to the nursery-
man, who, when the proper season comes, sends the
trees by express, or mail, or freight. They arrive
in fine condition and seldom fail to give satisfaction.
This plan I would reeoommend.—/arm ond Home.

SELECT LIST OF APPLES.

Where a large number of varieties are described
the planter is confused and hardly knows what kinds
to select. We mention only such varieties as have
proved valuable over a wide extent of country, be-
lieving we thereby do you a favor. The descrip-
tions are largely from Ellwanger & Barry with per-
mission. If planting a large orchard for profit we
advise you to confine yourself to a few varieties.
Leave the selection of varieties to us where possible.

ONE YEAR OLD APPLE TREES.

These have given the best satisfaction. They are
sure to live, can be mailed or expressed to distant
points at small cost, and make bearing orchards
about as soon as larger trees. We do not sell all
kinds in one year size, but only a select list at 50
cents per 12, by mail, postpaid, if all one kind ; if
two kinds, 60 cents; four kinds, 70 cents per 12;
$3.00 per 100, by express, or $3.50 per 100 by mail,
postpaid, of the following kinds only: Red Astra-
chan, Northern Spy, Baldwin, Primate, Saxton,
Sour Bough, Walbridge, Mann, Wealthy, Wagener,
Duchess of Oldenburg, Whitney No. 20, Blue Pear-
main, Jonathan, Ben Davis, Fameuse, or Snow
Apple. These trees succeed nobly everywhere.

Scott’s Winter Apple—This is an apple
which is coming strongly to the front as an iron-
clad long-keeper of merit. Our Mr. Gilbert
brought in the proof that we can have good
fruit the year round. He had fine Yellow Trans- -
parent apples just ripe and Scott's Winter of iast
season’s growth, which were still of good flavor.
With the apple season continuing the year round
we ought to be content. Prof. Budd, of Iowa,
speaks highly of it. Mr. Shepherd said: ‘‘ My
trees are ten years old. So far they have been
very satisfactory ; the tree is hardy ; its quality is
very good. Itis a little acid, but it tones down
about the middle of January and gets to be of very
good quality. It keeps until spring without any
difficulty.”” Mr. Gibb added: ‘‘I would like to

Winter.” Large trees, 20c.; I year trees, 6c:

SELECT LIST OF PEARS.

i

Dwarf Pears have long been popular, especially
for gardens or small grounds where larger trees
would be in the way. When trained low and cut
back each year, they make a beautiful appearance in
blossom or when loaded with beautiful and fragrant
specimens. Dwarf Pears come into bearing after
the Second year planted, sometimes giving fine speci-
mens on the young trees before leaving the nursery.
They should be in cultivated soil to get the largest
fruit, yet a dwarf pear tree near our kitchen door in
sod, bears large crops every year, of large, fine fruit,
beautiful specimens. We can imagine nothing more
attractive in the garden than a few rows of well-
trained dwarf pears. If you desire to remove them
in after years you can do so, as they areas easily
transplanted as any weed. For market they have
yielded $200 to $500 per acre in Western New York.
Our method is to plant standard pears 30 feet apart,
then plant dwarf pears half way between each way—
twice as many dwarfs as standards.

WILDER EARLY PEAR.

** Let no rash hand invade these sacred bowers,
irreverently pluck the fruit or pick the flowers. Here
ever hum the golden bees underneath full blossomed
trees, at once with budding fruit and flowers crowned.”

““ Laden with fairest fruit, that hung to the eye
tempting, stirred in me sudden appetite to pluck and
eat.” ‘* A pear tree planted nigh, was charged with
fruit that made a goodly show.”’

In offering a new variety of fruit for the first time,
peculiar emotions are experienced. This is our off-
spring—we are the parents, and are responsible for
its conduct. How will it behave before the critical
world? When we introduced the James Vick Straw-
berry and Shaffer’s Colossal Raspberry, we hesitated,
and when we at last took the final step, it was with
fear and trembling ; yet they are valuable fruits.
We were bolder with the Jessie Strawberry, and
wisely, as results have proved.

But never have we felt the confidence that we now
feel in introducing the WILDER EARLY PEAR. It is
a noble variety. We have watched it for years. It
has not disappointed us for an instant. We have
testimonials from Thomas Meehan, Dr. F. M. Hex-
amer, President T. T. Lyon, President Geo. A.
Sweet, and many other prominent pomologists and
editors, but do not propose to offer them now, but
will later. ‘‘ Iam so much pleased with it I have
had drawings made,” write in effect nearly a dozen
men to whom we have sent ripe specimens. ‘‘ My
artist is making drawings of it in colors. The qual-
ity is certainly very good—almost equal to any of the
choice varieties,’ writes Hon. H. E. VanDeman, U.
S. Pomologist. ‘‘ Texture fine grained, melting ;
aroma rich, pleasant ; uses, dessert and market,”
writes President T. T. Lyon, of Michigan. “‘ It is
certainly of very high quality, the finest of aul early
pears I have yet seen. In melting lusciousness it
almost equals the Seckel,”’ writes John T. Lovett.
But enough of this for the present. For two years
we have been mailing specimens to experts, and not-

withstanding they were picked before maturity, and
could not be expected to show their best quality, all
pronounced the quality superb. A

Its points of excellence are: 1. Earliness, ripening
about August Ist. 2. Superior quality, nothing of
its season being so delicious. 3. No rotting at the
core. We have kept it for weeks in a warm room,
and never saw one rot at the core; yet this is the
weak spot in nearly all early pears. 4. Long keep-
ing and shipping qualifications. 5. Great beauty and
productiveness, bearing every year, and on young
trees, 6. Great vigor, often growing seven feet
from the bud in oneseason. 7. Hardiness.

We own the stock, and have absolute control.
Price for spring, 1889, $5 each for one year trees, 5
to 7 feet high, or one year’s growth on tops of two
year Keiffer. We reserve the right to withdraw it
from the market for the spring of 1880, if it appears
for our interest to do so, after the orders are booked.
One of these $5 trees will make from 20 to 30 cions.

Bartlett—One of the
most popular pears;
large; buttery and melt-
ing, with a rich musky
flavor. A vigorous, erect
grower; bears young
and abundantly. Middle
to last of September.

Brandywine— Medi-
um size; yellow and rus-
set ; melting, juicy; first
rate. A free grower and
productive. August. A fine pear.

BARTLETT.

Clapp’s Favorite—A splendid pear, resemb-
ling the Bartlett and ripening a few days earlier ;

a cross between that variety and Flemish Beauty ;
the tree is hardy and vigorous either on the pear
or quince. Care should be taken to pick the fruit
ten days before it would ripen upon the tree.

+Dearborn’s Seedling—Rather below me-
dium size; pale yellow ; melting and good. Tree
a free grower, and bears young and profusely.
Ripe about the last of August.

+Margaret—(Petite Marguerite.) Medium size ;
skin greenish yellow, with brownish red cheek, and
covered with greenish dots. Flesh fine, melting,
juicy, vinous, and of first quality. Tree a vigor-
ous, upright grower, and an early and abundant
bearer. Succeeds admirably as a standard or
dwarf. The finest pear of its season, and worthy
of special attention. Ripens latter part of August.

Osband’s Summer—Medium, yellow, with
red cheek ; half melting, mild and pleasant ; fine
flavor and excellent; productive. Dwarf and
Standard. August. Price, 20 and 30 cents.

+Souvenir du Congres—Skin smooth, bright
yellow when the fruit is fully matured, with
the parts exposed to the sun brilliant red or car-
mine. The flesh, while it is like that of the Bart-
lett, is free from its strong musky aroma, and is
firm tothe core. It commences toripen in August,
a little before the Bartlett, and extends into Sep-
tember. The tree is a moderate grower, and to
obtain good standard and dwarf trees we are
obliged to work it upon strong growing sorts. On
account of its size, quality and earliness, it is en-
titled to a place among the best pears. 50 cents.
Summer Doyenne (Doyenne d’Ete)—A beau-

tiful, melting sweet pear, rather small. Tree a
vigorous grower and good bearer. First of August-

Lawson, or Comet—‘‘This remarkable summer pear is not
oniy the most beautiful in appearance, but is claimed to be the

largest early pear yet produced. The fruit is so
beautiful that it sold in the markets of New York
the past season, and for many years, as high as
$4.00 per half bushel crate; and as the tree isa
heavy annual yielder, the profits to be derived
from it are apparent. As it isa good ship-
per and can be placed upon the market several
weeks earlier than Bartlett, and at a time
when it has absolute control, there are few
varieties perhaps that can be planted by the
fruit grower (particularly at the
South) that will yield such lucrative
returns. The fruit is exceedingly
large for an early pear, specimens
being nine inches around, and can-
not be surpassed in point of color,
which is a most beautiful crimson
ona bright yellow ground. The
flesh is crisp, juicy and pleasant,
but not of high quality, and should
be used before getting overripe.
Ripens in Central New York from
middle of July to first of August,
and possesses superior keeping and
shipping qualities. Price 30 and §
40 cents. Small trees 20 cents.
Tyson—Rather above medium size;
melting juicy, sweet and pleasant.
Tree very vigorous and rapid grow-
er; bears abundantly every year ;
one of the best summer varieties.
August. This is a favorite with
Chas. A. Green, almost equalling
the Seckel in quality, and being
very productive and desirable in
every way. We grow it as a dwarf,
but it does equally well on standard
trees.

CLASS 2—AUTUMN PEARS.

Angouleme (Duchesse d’Angouleme)—One of
the largest of all our good pears. Succeeds well
on the pear, but it attains its highest perfection ‘on
the quince. As a dwarf itis one of the most profit-
able market pears. October and November.

Belle Lucrative—Large ; melting and sweet.
A free, upright grower, and bears early and abun-
dantly. September and October.

+Bose (Beurre Bosc)—A large and beautiful russety
pear ; very distinct, with a long neck ; melting, or
nearly so, high flavored and delicious. A moder-
ate grower and rather irregular; bears well. We
top graft in order to get good standard trees. It
does not succeed on the quince, and in order to
obtain dwarf trees it must be double worked.
September to October. 50 cents.

Buffum—Medium size ; deep yellow, dotted with
brown and russetted ; a handsome and ornamental
grower; fruit buttery, rich, sweet, juicy and
melting. September and October. This splen-
did pear deserves attention. Mr. C. Williams,

profitable market varieties. It comes early into
bearing, and makes a handsome tree. Price,

VALUE OF A TREE.

When the construction of a railroad or the open-
ing of a new street requires the destruction of fruit
trees the question of their value is decided. A plum,
cherry, apple or pear tree gives an annual yield of
fruit selling at say $5 to $15, the owner figures the
result for the life of the tree, say 15 to 20 years, in
addition to its beauty of blossom and foliage, and
the refreshing shade, making a claim of $50 to $300
damages for each tree destroyed. The value ofa
fruit tree is not easily specified, but it is a judicious
investment of time and money. And in learning
what the profit will be we must not look only at the
value of the fruit for the market, for this may be but
incidental, a larger profit accruing from its beauty,
the pleasureable anticipation it excites and the place
it fills as part and parcel of the home.

CHERRIES.

Profit in Cherries — “Yes,” said P. L.
Bunce, ‘‘I consider the cherry tree one of the most
profitable that can be planted. I have five acres.
Some are seven years old, and these will yield a net
profit of $400 an acre. Four year old trees have
netted me $150 per acre. There will be much profit
in cherries for those who plant in the next few years.”
“On the Biggs place,” said J. W. Hicks, ‘‘ wé have
three acres of the earliest cherries in the market.
This year the crop was very light, and we got only
700 boxes, which would make the gross return in the
neighborhood of $1,100, and the care and picking in
the outset was not more than $200, which would give
us $300 an acre for the cherry crop.” L. Kuhn said
that from about twoacres the crop last year consisted

of 1,527 boxes, the sale of which netted $1,281, or
$650.50 per acre. We recommend the hardy, rot-
proof Early Richmond, Morello, Empress, Dye-
House, Belle Montrose, and others of that class.
Windsor is the best of the large sweet varieties.

The Cherry succeeds well on dry soils, and is sus-
ceptible of being trained in any form that taste or
circumstances may require. For orchards, where
there is ample room for large trees, and in climates
where it is not subject to the bursting of the bark,
standards with four or five feet of clean trunk are
preferable. For door-yards, where shade and orna-
ment are taken into account, standards of the free
growing sorts, with erect habit and large foliage, are
the most suitable.

CLASS 2.—DUKE AND MORELLO
CHERRIES.

These two classes of cherries are very distinct from
the preceding. The trees are of smaller size, and
grow more slowly ; the leaves are thicker and more
erect, and of a deeper green. The fruit is generally
round, and in color varying from light red to dark
brown.

The Dukes have stout, erect branches usually,
and some of them, like Reine Hortense, quite sweet
fruit; while the Morellos have slender, spreading
branches, and acid fruit invariably. These two
classes are peculiarly appropriate for dwarfs and
pyramids, on the Mahaleb stock, and their hardiness
renders them well worthy of attention in localities
where Heart and Bigarreau are too tender. Price,
largest, 25 cents; medium, 20 cents; small, ro cents.

Belle Magnifique—A magnificent, large, red,
late cherry, excellent for cooking and fine for
table when fully ripe; rather acid, tender, juicy
and rich. Tree a slow grower, but a most pro-

fuse bearer ; makes a fine dwarf or pyramid on
the Mahaleb. Last of July.

Very valuable.

SARATOGA,

*Saratoga, New—The Saratoga Plum originated
from a seed planted ina garden near Saratoga,
N. Y., the great summer resort. The tree grew
rapidly, and soon bore fruit that attracted atten-
tion from its large size, great beauty, fine quality
and productiveness. Its color is a reddish purple,
covered with a handsome bloom. In shape it is a
cross between Lombard and Bradshaw—-longer
and larger than Lombard, broader than Bradshaw.
Its quality has been especially commented upon by
all who have had the pleasure of eating it. Taken

good fruit, is indeed an acquisition. First class,
each, 40 cents ; medium size, 30 cents.

*Moore’s Arctic—Valuable for its productive-

ness, and extreme hardiness. Fruit grown in
clusters. Color dark blue, or nearly black when
fully ripe. Dr. Hoskins says this is the hardiest

SIMONS.

Simons (Prunus Simoni, or Apricot Plum)—F rom
the Orient, and is described by Prof. Budd, as
follows : ‘‘ It will be the king of fruit—better than
any apricot. In France it is placed at the head of
the plums. Hardy even here (42d parallel). In
color of bark, and in all points, except the net vein-
ing and color of the leaves, it resembles the peach.
In fruit it comes nearer toa flattish, smooth, small
tomato, than to any of our stone fruits; yet in
odor and flavor it approaches very near the nectar-
ine. First class, each, 40 cents ; small, 25 cents.

*McLaughlin—Large, round ; greenish yellow;
sugary and fine; quality very good. . Tree a free
grower. One of the very best for family use or

er. One of the most attractive in cultivation.

Shipper’s Pride—tThis large, round, purple
plum is recommended
for its certainty to pro-
duce a large crop of
fruit, for its fine appear-
ance and superior ship-
ping qualities. The
flesh is firm and of ex-
cellent quality ; the tree
is a strong, upright
grower. In North-

_ western New York, where it
originated, it has never failed
to produce a heavy crop since
the original tree was large
enough to bear. A plum that
will produce large annual
crops of large, handsome,
good fruit, is indeed an acqui-
sition. Price, 40 cents each.

“Quackenboss—lLarge;

dense bluish bloom; flesh

“greenish yellow, sprightly, juicy, a little coarse
grained ; will rank good in quality. Tree vigor-
ous and a great yielder. Valuable for market.

shaped yellow plum ; a little coarse, but excellent
for cooking. Tree a free grower, and very pro-
ductive. End of August.

*Lombard—Medium size; oval; violet red:
flesh yellow, juicy and pleasant. ‘Tree very vig-
orous, a great bearer, and peculiarly well adapted
to light soils. | This is the popular market plum.
Of all older varieties the Lombard has done the
best at: Green’s Fruit Farm. It has borne im-
mense crops annually, of beautiful specimens, de-
licious to eat out of the hand, for dessert or pre-
serves. Indeed the trees were so overloaded we
were compelled to prop them to prevent the de-
struction of the trees. Had our Chas. A. Green
been at home at the time he would have removed
much of the fruit before maturity. But all ripened
nicely, and sold readily at good paying prices. A
basket of Lombard plums is an attractive sight,
all of great size, beautifully colored, and as deli-
cate to the touch as the cheek of a baby. Plant

SELECT LIST OF PEAGHES.

GLOBE PEACH. ;

Keep the ground clean and mellow around the trees, and give it an occasional dressing of wood
ashes. Keep the heads low—the trunks ought not to exceed three feet in height. Attend regularly every
spring to pruning and shortening the shoots of the previous year’s growth. This keeps the head round,
full and well furnished with bearing wood. Cut weak shoots back about one-half, and strong ones one-
third. It should always be borne in mind that the fruitis produced on wood of the last season's growth,
and hence the necessity for keeping up a good supply of vigorous annual shoots all over the tree. The plum stock
1s advantageous in stiff clay, cold and damp soils. In planting peaches, it is of the highest importance to
cut back the trees severely. The stem should be reduced about one-third and the side branches cut back to
one bud. ;

PRICES OF PEACH Tames.—Large size, 15 cents each; $1.50 per dozen ; $10.00 per 100. First class,
3 feet high, 10 cents-each ; $1.00 per dozen ; $7.00 per 100.

There is no need for a long list of varieties of peaches, as many kinds closely resemble each other, and

others are inferior and disappointing. | We recommend planters to confine themselves to the following list,
ripening in the order named :

Globe—An accidental seedling from Pennsylva-

grained, but juicy, yellow, shaded with a reddish
nia, which may very properly be called an im-

tinge towards the pit. Free from the stone, of

provement upon Crawford’s Late. Its size, beauty
and flavor have caused it to be in popular demand,
and although’ a comparatively new variety, its
claims are so just and so well sustained by the
opinions of good and experienced horticulturists,
that it cannot fail to make a satisfactory record in
the minds of all who fairly test it. The treeisa
rapid, vigorous grower, and an enormous bearer.
Fruit exceedingly large, globular in form, main-
taining its size uniformly. Of a rich golden yel-
low, with red blush; flesh very firm. coarse-

good quality, pleasant, luscious, rich and vinous.
At its home it begins to ripen in the second week
of September and lasts until first of October. Its
good qualities have been such that it has never
failed to take first premium when exhibited in
competition with other varieties. It is also of
good keeping qualities, the flesh remaining hard
and firm after long exposure. First class, each,
25 cents; dozen, $2.00; 100,$15.00. Medium,
each, 20 cents ; dozen, $1.50 ; 100, $10.00. June

it became known at once as that ‘‘ Wonderful
peach ;” hence that name has been accepted for
it, contrary to the wishes of the owners by force of
circumstances. It is a freestone, of the richest
golden yellow, largely overspread with vivid car-
mine, and ripens after nearly all other peaches
have disappeared, being the only large, handsome
peach ripening at that late season. Its keeping

APRICOTS.

Plant fifteen feet apart each way. There is no fruit more delicious or beautiful than the Apricot, and
ripening as it does between Cherries and Peaches, renders it especially valuable. Its chief enemy is the
curculio, which can be kept in check by the methods su; ‘gested for Plums—which is to spray with Paris
green water soon after blossoming, or by shaking off the curculio onto sheets. It succeeds admirably

QUINGES.

Perhaps there is no fruit that gives better returns for the outlay than quinces ; easily and quickly grown ;
little expense to gather ; ships well, and keeps well. One man in Niagara Co., N. Y. , sold his entire crop
{variety Orange) Of 150 bushels, grown on half an acre, for $2.00 per bushel. The Quince succeeds best in
moist, but not wet, well worked soil.

Meech’s Prolific—This valuabie new Quince has
: awakened great interest throughout the country. It often
| attains a growth of 4 feet or more the first year from the
~l cuttings, continuing to make a like vigorous growth as the
. trees attain age. It is remarkable for its early
. and regular bearing and for productiveness,
sometimes bearing when only two years old,
and afterwards abundantly. The fruit also is
remarkable for its rare combination of
beauty of form and color, size, fragrance
and flavor. It is shaped like a handsome
pear with a smooth, fine skin, of a bright
orange yellow, and
very large, averaging
under good culture, 12
to 15 ounces each.
Flesh of the most de-
lightful fragrance and
delicious flavor; a
basket of this fruit
fully ripe, perfuming a
large room with its
delicate aroma. Its
cooking qualities are
unsurpassed, being as
tender as a peach and
quite free from theg
hard lumps so objec-7%
tionable in many
other varieties. Its
rich flavor is so strong }
} that many persons are
better pleased to re-
j duce it by adding
apples in equal quan-
tity. It is admirably
adapted to making
marmalade from the
tenderness of its pulp;
and by reason of its
: excellent flavor it
_ makes the most delic-
t ious jelly. Its beauty
j of form and color, and
holding well its leaves
| until late in the autumn
‘ renders the tree an at-
, tractive ornament to the home grounds, and the
| rich golden hue of an orchard in bearing reminds
one of an orange grove in the South. 2 to 3 feet,

NUT CULTURE.

‘* Close at hand the basket stood,
With nuts from brown October’s wood.’’

We are enthusiastic on the prospect for nut cul
ture as a profitable pursuit, and a method of making
the farm attractive to the family. While our farm is
clayey, and not supposed to be adapted to the
American Sweet Chestnut, we had a row through
the field, from which trees had been dug for sale,
that gave us a fine crop of nuts this year, all of
which could be picked by a person standing on the
ground. The trees were not over 6to 7 feet high,
yet were loaded down with large, sweet nuts.
When the children heard of the nuts they were wild
with delight, and made frequent visits to the spot.
I, myself, enjoyed filling my pockets with the chest-
nuts, and vowed then that I would tell others how
easily they could grow nuts. The trees should be plant-
ed when small to meet with best success, on high, dry
ground, then there is no more trouble than in grow-
ing apples. Do not plant the fancy nuts that are
not tested, such as Almonds, Pecans, etc. But the
Sweet Chestnut, Blackwalnut, Butternut, English
Filbert, etc., you can plant with certainty of success.

Spanish, or maroon—A handsome, round-headed
Stately tree that yields abundantly of very large
nuts, hence valuable both for ornament and fruit.
Price, small trees, 15c. $1.50 per doz.

American Sweet Chestnut—
Who is not familiar with this beauti-
ful large tree, whose tasseled blossoms,
long burnished leaves and _ bristling
burs swelling with plump, brown nuts,
tempt the passer by to stop and club
a few off? It is worthy of a place on
every farm for ornament alone, also
for the timber, which makes lasting
stakes, rails and posts. But the chest-
nuts are delicious, and no one can for-
get the days when he gathered them in
thick forest or the open field with com-
panions long since departed to ‘“‘ that
bourne from which no traveler re-
turns.” ‘‘ Oh, fruit loved of boyhood !
the old days recalling when wodd-
grapes were purpling and brown auts
were falling.” Of all the hardy field
nuts the sweet chestnut is a favorite,
not only with the children, made happy
in the golden autumn days, but the
older folks as well. What pleasarter
pastime than to goto the field when
the tasseled corn is being husked, with
basket or bag, bounding on elastic step
to gather the glossy nuts, anticipating
the stories that will be told as we gather
about the fireside and crack the nuts during the

winter evenings. Nothing meets with more ready
sale than the sweet chestnut, and the prices paid
is fabulous, compared with actual cost. Small

LEADING ORNAMENTALS.

While we have room in this catalogue only fora
few of the leading ornamental shrubs and trees, we
desire to announce that we can supply nearly any-
thing in this line. While no one nursery can be ex-
pected to propagate and grow every variety, we have
the great opportunity of -selecting from the Jargest
nurseries in the world, many of which ciuster about
this greatest of all nursery centers. Therefore, if
you desire that which we have not room here to de-
scribe and illustrate, send alist of your wants for
prices. We make free use of Messrs. Ellwanger &
Barry’s descriptions with permission, in their spec-
ialties.

SURPLUS LIST—We can say of this list
the same as of the list of surplus fruit trees, plants
and vines and that is this: If you wish to get the
mcst value for a little money simply order $1, $5 or
$10 worth of surplus stock, without naming varities
or specifying particularly what is to be sent Then
our Chas. A. Greer will make up a package of near-
ly twice the amount he would if you confined him to
your own selection. _Weimport many ornamental
plants and trees from France, and in order to have
enough, often get more than we need. Thus we al-
ways have a surplus of rare and valuable ornament-
als, as well as of fruit, plants, vines and trees, and
we guarantee you a great bargain if you will order
in the way we have suggested.

Few of our patrons plant enough ornamental
shrubs. They are effective in making a place home-
like, and as indispensable astrees. Plant them in
groups. in beds, in well selected cites, giving them
plenty of room, as they will grow surprisingly. Do
not omit Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora, one of
the finest shrubs.

The Beautiful Berberry is sometimes used

as a hedge plant, and in cultivated gardens,
where it is a striking object
during the autumn months,
* covered, as it is, with bright
scarlet berries. But its mis-
sion is not altogether one
of beauty, for its berries
contain a pure and whole-
some acid juice, which is
medicinally usefnl in fever-
7 ish conditions, while for
those in health it makes a
very agreeable drink. It is
less known in the cook’s
domain than its merits de-

serve. With sugar and
water added to the ex-
pressed juice, or stewed,

canned, preserved, jelled or
made into syrup, the beau-
tifnl color attracts the eye,
and most palates find the
flavor very acceptable. They
are useful in combination
with other fruits, notably

the pear and apple. Some
fruits are too sweet for cooking. A little barberry
juice removes that objection, improves the color,

and when served as sauce or in tarts, is de-
licious. Price, purple-leaved, 25 cents each ;
red-fruited, 15 cents each. Lower price for

hedges, for which it is unsurpassed for beauty.

Clethra Alnifolia—This
new and beautiful shrub we
have had the pleasure of in-
troducing to our patrons. It
is a hardy shrub, succeeding
in any soil and location, and
delighting all beholders with
its beautiful spikes of blos-
soms of pure snowy white-
ness. - Not only this, but its
delicious fragrance fills the
air, being unsurpassed in this
notable respect. It begins to
blossom early in autumn, and
continues until winter closes
in. It. is valuable not only
for beauty and fragrance, put
asa honey plant. Many bee
keepers plant it exclusively
for honey bees to feed upon.
The late Charlies Downing
wrote in praise of this, his
favorite flower; and Mr. Par-
sons, superintendent of parks
in New York, classes this
among the most valuable
shrubs Do not omit to
plant it Many overlook the
importance of these flowering
shrubs in making the home
grounds attractive. Trees
alone will not be sufficient.
Shrubs are as indispensable
to a place as joyful children.
without them the place looks

CLETHERA ALNIFOLIA desolate. Make the home
grounds attractive. It pays in money and con-
tentment. Mr. Parsons says: ‘‘I never knew it
to fail to bloom. Cold never harms it. The honey
made from it is almost white, thick, and of fine
flavor. Its leaves are light green; flowers pure
white, in spikes 3 to 6inches long. A group of
Clethera will perfume the air for a long distance;
a handful will fill a room with fragrance. 35 cents.

Deutzia—We are indebted to Japan for this val-
uable genus of plants. Their hardihood, fine
habit, luxuriant foliage, and profusion of attrac-
tive 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 4 to 6 inches long.

Crenata—Dovs Le FLOWERING DeuTz1A—Flow-
ers double white, tinged with rose. One of the
most desirable flowering shrubs in cultivation.
30 cents each.

Althea, or Rose of Sharon—tThe Altheas
are fine, free growing, flowering shrubs, of the
easiest cultivation. Very desirable on account of
blooming in August and September, when scarcely
any other tree-or shrub isin blossom. 25 cents.

HYDRANGEA—PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA,

Hydrangea P. Grandiflora—Of all hardy
flowering shrubs give me the beautiful Hydran-
gea for permanent showy effect. It blossoms the
first year planted, a pyramid of bloom on each
branch. It can be grown anywhere by anyone
it is so hardy and vigorous. Do not failto plant
it. We shall grow it in solid beds. “‘It is
grown in large quantities and deservedly, for it is
one of the grandest flowering shrubs that have
ever been introduced to our gardens.’—Rural
New Yorker. ‘* Flowers have an expression of
countenance as much as men. Some seem to
smile ; some have a sad expression; some are
pensive and diffident ; others are noble, honest
and upright, like the beautiful Hydrangea.”” The
flowers are white, borne in immense pyramidal
panicles nearly a foot in length. It commences
flowering in July and continues until November.

The plants should be cut back every spring at

least one-half of the last season’s growth. This
is the finest fiowering shrub for cemetery plant-
ing we know of. Strong flowering plants, by
mail, 25c. each; 60c. for 3; $1.00 for 6. Extra

Weigela—Fortunii, Candidissima, Ro-

sea Pleno—Rare and valuable varieties. 30

can be specially recommended.

Japan Quince—The flowering varieties of the

Japan Quince rank among our choicest shrubs.
They bear the knife well, and with proper pruning
may be grown in any form. As single shrubs on
the lawn they are very attractive, and for the
edges of berd>rs or groups of trees they are spe-
cially adapted. Their large, brilliant flowers are
among the first blossoms in spring, and they ap.
pear in great profusion, covering every branch,
branchlet and twig, before the leaves are devel-
oped. Their foliage is bright green and glossy,
and retains its color the entire summer, which
renders the plants very ornamental. Special at-
tention is invited to this plant for ornamental
hedges. It is sufficiently thorny to form,a defense
and at the same time makes one of the most beau-
tiful flowering hedges. Priee, 25 cents.

Ampelopsis Veitehii—(Jarpan CREEPER).—

Leaves smaller than those of the American, and
overlap one another, forming a dense sheet of
green. It grows rapidly and clings to wall or
fence with the tenacity of Ivy; the foliage is very
handsome in summer, and changes to crimson
scarlet in autumn. For covering walls, stumps of
trees, rockeries, etc., no plant is so useful. For
the ornamentation of brick and stone structures, it
50 cents.

CLEMATIS.

Few climbing plants are
equal to the Clematis. The
effect produced by the clusters
of blossoms in the frail sup-
porting vines is suggestive and
pleasing. Nearly all varieties
have flowers four to seven in-
ches in diameter, growing rap-
idly and flowering very pro-
fusely after becoming well es-
tablished. They delight in
rich soil and a sunny position,
and are perfectly hardy. For
pillars, trellises, bedding in
masses or planting about rock-
work, the Clematis cannot be
excelled.

John Gould Veitch—
Flower large; rosette
shaped; color lavender blue.
75 cents.

Jackmani — The flowers

period of its fiowering the
blooms are semi-circular in shape, resembling a
gigantic double white Zinnia. 75-cents.

Lanuginosa Candida—Flower large ; tinted
grayish white; fine. 50 cents.

Miss Bateman—A magnificent plant both in
growth and flower ; the blooms are large, of good
shape, pure white, banded with creamy white.
50 cents.

Coccinea—The Scarlet Clematis—This
is a novel variety, entirely unlike any other, and
exceeding popular, proving to be one of the most
desirable for any purpose where climbing plants
are required. The plant is a herbaceous peren-
nial, the stem -dying to the surface each winter
{this is an advantage where an unobstructed view
is required in winter). The vines attain the
height of from 8 to Ioor 12 feet, beginning to
flower iu June and continuing until frost ; single
vines have from 20 to 30 flowers on each, and
frequently as many as ten vines wili start from
one crown each season. The flowers are bell-
shaped ; in color a rich, deep, coral scarlet, shin-
ing as if polished, and lasting a long time when
cut. Indeed, one of the most beautiful plants for
festaoning is to be found in Clematis Coccinea,
with its peculiar shaded green and elegantly cut
and varied foliage. If it never flowered it would
bea handsome climbing vine. 30c. each; doz. $3.

Candida—(WHITE FLOWERED WEIGELA).—A
valuable variety. All white varieties heretofore
known have been lacking in some important char-
acteristic. Other so-called white sorts have flesh-
colored flowers; so that the introduction of CAN-
DIDA supplies a long felt want. It is of vigorous
habit, an erect grower, becoming in time a large
sized shrub. Flowers white and produced in great

profusion in June, and the plants continue to-

bloom until autumn. .50 cents.

Isolana Varscheffelti, Rosea, Etce—Val-
uable and leading varieties of weigelia. Price, 25

Hall’s Japan Honeysuckle—A strong,
vigorous, almost evergreen sort, with pure white
flowers, changing to yellow. Very fragrant, and
covered with flowers from July to December; holds
its leaves till January. The best bloomer. 25¢.

suckle. Valuableand beautiful varieties. 25 cts.

bloom during the spring and autumn months that
they are a necessity to every garden. We have
taken the greatest pains to-procure our seed from
prize strains, and it is unsurpassed. Our new
ones, offered among novelties, are the finest of all
Pansies. Give the plants slight protection over
winter, though they seldom winter kill. If all
fiowers are picked as soon as they fade the palms
will bloom mnch more freely, giving larger blooms
and better colors... Plants, by mail, 65 cents
per dozen: by express, $4.00 per 100.

JASMINE.
Syringa, or Mock Orange—The Syringa

is an invaluable shrub. Of vigorous habit, very
hardy, with large handsome foliage, and beautiful
white flowers, produced in the greatest profusion
at the blossoming season, it merits a prominent
place in all coilections of shrubbery. Most of the
varieties, except those of dwarf habit, form large
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 desired. All of the varie-
ties flower in June, after the Weigela. By plant-
ing the late flowering sorts, the season may be
considerably extended. Price. in variety, 25 cts.

of large size, with globular clusters of pure white,
sterile flowers the latter part of May. This is
popular, and justly so, easily grown and. attractive
near by or at a long distance. It remains long in
blossom, like the Hydrangea, which it resembles
somewhat Sec cut. Price.25 cents.

Spirzea—Tne Spirzas are all elegant, low shrubs,
of the easiest culture, and their blooming extends
over a period of three months. When in blossom
the dense white bloom of some varieties resembles
banks of snow. An-assortment of varieties. 35c.

Chrysanthemums-—It is needless to enlarge
upon the beauties of the Chrysanthemum, a flower
which, of late years, has become nearly as popular
as the rose. Lovely in all of its many forms,
some of the varieties are marvels of fantastic shapes
and colors. Our collection includes the most dis-
tinct and valuable varieties in the various types
Price, 20 cents each ; $2 per 12.

American White or Weeping Elm— /

The noble spreading and drooping tree of our own
forests, spoken of by foreign tourists as the most
beautiful American tree. It is attractive in any
suitable location, is hardy, and easily transplanted
when small. Price, by mail, 10 cents; $1 per 12;
2 to 3 feet, by express, 15 cts; 6 feet, 50 cts. each,

Catalpa (Japan Hybrid)—One of the most
showy fiowering trees I saw on a recent visit to
Washington was this Catalpa, low branching,
covered with beautiful flowers. It is but little
known, yet is is of great value, as it grows rapid-
ly, is hardy and attractive in both foliage and
flowers. It is suitable for street trees, for singlr:
specimens on lawns, or four grouping purposes.
The flowers have a pleasant fragrance, and a
tree in bloom attracts the senses of smell and
sight. Prof. Hussman, of the Missouri State
State Agricultural College, says: ‘‘ Massive in
all its proportions, straight and rigid, it looks
like a production of the tropical zone, yet it seems
to be entirely hardy, with its immense leaves,
sometimes lobed, velvety-brown when they first
appear, and changing into dark green, foilowed
by immense panicles of fiowers, containing some-
times between three and four hundred buds and
bloom ; contrasting finely with its dark, massive
foliage, it may be truly called aregal tree. A rapid
grower. I think it is the fastest growing tree I
know. It makes a beautiful object on a lawn and
should be in every one’s door-yard.” Price of
vigorous, well-rooted trees, by mail, post-paid, 10
cents each; 12 for $1.00; larger trees, by express,
25 cents each. Catalpa Speciosa same price.

Cut Leaved Weeping Birch—Beyond
question one of the most popular of all weeping or
pendulous trees. Its tall, slender, yet vigorous
growth, graceful drooping branches, silvery-white
bark, and delicately cut foliage, present a combi-
nation of attractive characteristics rarely met with
in a single tree. The genus embraces a very
popular and highly ornamental class of trees.
Their elegant, graceful port, silvery bark, slender
branches, and light and airy foliage, render them
general favorites. As single specimens on the
lawn, or employed as avenue trees, the upright
varieties are very imposing and handsome. They
thrive even in the poorest soils and in the most
exposed situations. Price of cut leaf weeping, 75
cents ; upright trees, 50 cents.

Paul’s Double Scarlet Thorn Flowers

Ailanthus, or Tree of Heaven—This is
a handsome tree, having-a tropical look, and
forming an attractive feature singly or in groups.
The American Agriculturist has been a strong ad-
mirer of this tree, and has issued several editorials
on its beauty and usefulness. It excels all trees
in rapid growth. We have seen it cut back to
the ground each season with an axe, to appear
again each succeeding spring as one stout trunk
with fern-like leaves, 12 to 20 inches long, ex-
tending from the ground to the tip. No need to
plant large trees, as it grows so rapidly. In
China, from whence it came, it is called the Tree
of Heaven, but whether from its beauty or its
attempt to reach heaven in quick time by rapid
growth we know not. It is hardy and not sub-
ject to insects or disease. Price, by mail, 15
cents each, $1.50 per 12; larger trees, by ex-
press, 25 cents each, $2.50 per dozen.

Austrian or Black Pine—A native of the
mountains of Syria. Tree remarkably robust,
hardy and spreading ; leaves long, stiff and dark
green; growth rapid. The most valuable for this
country. 50 cents.

American Arbor Vitze—A beautiful native
tree, commonly known as the White Cedar ; espe-
cially valuable for screens and hedges. 20 to 30
cents each ; small, $5 per 100.

Carolina—(CaroLina Pop_ar)—Pyramidal in
form and robust in growth; leaves large, serrated,
pale to deep green. 50 cents

Camperdown Weeping Elm—Grafted6 to
8 feet high, this forms one of the most picturesque
drooping trees. It is of rank growth, the shoots
often making a zigzag growth outward and down-
ward of several feet in a singleseason. The leaves
are large, dark green and glossy, and cover the
tree with a luxurious mass of verdure. $1.50.

The Country Gentleman says of the Shaffer: ‘‘This
large, very productive and valuable raspberry, in-
troduced by C. A. Green, without puffing or parade,
has exceeded any other of the new varieties. It
exceeds in its invariably heavy crops. The ber-
ries are large, and uniformly free from distortion or
any defect in form. It ripens after most of the
great throng of varieties have passed away.”” This
is praise from a high authority, John J. Thomas,
aithor of the ‘‘Amertcan Fruit Culturist.
