Nurseries Whose Stock is Just as Represented and Whose Methods are 4

Prompt and Honorable.
POMONA NURSERIES, WM. PARRY, PRoprIgTOx, Parry, N, J.
[EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. ]

Those of our readers who may have been disappointed in their expectations regarding
stock ordered of irresponsible nurseries, and who realize that the best only is good enough in
this line, will thank us for calling attention to this trustworthy éstablishment, whose goods we
have found to be identically as represented. It is worthy the patronage of all those who
value truthful methods and honest representations, and who would avoid doubtful results.

There is more than the mere money expended to be considered in making choice and pur-
chasing of nursery stock, for it is always too late for correction after imposition is discovered,
and unless a responsible house, such as this, is selected there is no certainty that another year’s
time has not been lost, as well as the money expended thrown away. Hence the necessity of
being right before going ahead.

We write only after thorough investigation when we say that the reader is perfectly safe
in dealing with these nurseries, for during twenty-one years of journalism we have never
come upon more pronounced worth. The stock is first-class in every particular, prices are
reasonable, and fair dealing characterizes all transactions. .

An immense stock and extensive variety to select from is offered, and as the goods are
carefully packed and delivered in excellent condition those who order once become permanent
customers. We advise those who have written us concerning this nursery, or who may. be
interested in the subject of nursery stock, to obtain price lists and estimates before purchasing
elsewhere. We guarantee satisfactory results.

Fruits Grown for Market and Plants for Sale.

Purchasers cannot fail to appreciate the advantage of dealing directly with a well-known
firm, that has been engaged fifty-six years in raising fruits for market, and testing all varieties, over
that of buying of irresponsible agents, dealers and others who are but little acquainted with the
business, having no fruit of their own growing to sell or exhibit.

The Nurseries are located on the branch of the Westfield and Camden Turnpike, two miles
from Riverton, three from Moorestown, eight from Burlington and Philadelphia. A steamboat
leaves the latter place for Riverton several times daily, and the cars running between Philadel-
phia and New York stop at Riverton. Stages running between Pomona Nurseries and
Riverton station connect with trains east and west. For time see first page of cover.

Packages for us should be directed to Riverton, N. J., either by express or by freight,
and Money Orders should be drawn to PARRY P. O., Burlington County, N. J., and sent
to WILLIAM PARRY, Parry P. O., New Jersey.

NOTICE TO PURCHASERS.

Having had fifty-seven years experience in raising small fruits, with three hundred acres now in
cultivation at our nursery, testing new varieties as they come into notice, and discarding those of
least value, we now offer for sale a select list that can be relied on for profit. The prominent
points are LARGE SIZE, HARDY AND PRODUCTIVE FRUITS.
It has been found that of the many new seedlings that are annually brought forward, but com-
paratively few retain superiority long. Our experimental grounds, on which the different varie-
ties are grown under similar treatment, although expensive, are interesting and useful to those
about to form new plantations, and all such are invited to visit our nursery and inspect the differ-
ent fruits in ing.

The character for accuracy, promptness and fair dealing which this establishment has earned
and enjoyed for more than fifty years, renders it unnecessary for us to publish a list of references
or testimonials of assurance that we give prompt and careful attention to all orders with which we
are favored, or of the volumes of letters in evidence of our perfect packing, good condition in
which plants are received, satisfactory count, etc.

Fruit growers cannot fail to realize that success depends upon getting GENUINE, PURE,
WELL-GROWN plants, CAREFULLY and SECURELY packed. As we have devoted more than one-
half century to the business, and having in our employ, at the heads of our several depart-
ments, men who have been with us a quarter of a century and more, and are conversant and
familiar with every peculiarity and characteristic of the different varieties of trees and plants,
which, under our system of cultivation, guarded care, etc., render it next to impossible for our
stock to become mixed or impure, or to suffer in transportation ; and as ‘‘practice makes
perfect,” we are enabled to furnish trees and plants PURE and UNMIXED, at the LOWEST PossI-
BLE PRICES.

Our packing season for Spring begins January 1st, and continues until June 1st, and our
first shipments are to the most extreme points South and to the Pacific coast. In the Fall we
commence in September, and continue through October, November and until the ground
is frozen in December.

In presenting this, our one-hundred and fourteenth semi-annual catalogue, we are pleased to
announce that our stock of trees and plants is of unusually good quality, more extensive than in
former years, and that the utmost care and best attention will be given all orders.

Being in direct communication with Philadelphia and New York, our shipping facilities are
unsurpassed, while our experience and system of packing enable us to send trees and plants by
mail or express in safety to any part of the country, however distant.

WILLIAM PARRY,

Parry P. O., Burlington Co., New Jersey,

MORE THAN FIFTY YEARS’ EXPERIENCE in growing and
testing fruits, progagating, digging. packing and shipping Nursery Stock should be considered
by the intending purchaser. It is our desire that all orders entrusted to our care shall be ex-
ecuted in the best possible manner, that they reach our customers in good condition, that they
succeed with them and we are mutually benefited by the transaction. We therefore give some
instructions which may prove of interest and benefit tosome. If your stock is shipped by
express, it should arrive within a day or two of your shipping advice; if by freight, one to
two or three weeks later, according to the distance.

Care of Trees and Piants on Arriwal.—lIt not ready to plant on day of
arrival, or if you have more than you can plant within a few hours, they should be at once healed
in. Select a well-drained spot, dig a trench about eighteen inches deep, sloping on one side ;
place the roots in the bottom of trench with the tops leaning up the sloping side. Spread out
the trees so that the earth will come in contact with each and every root ; then sift in fine dirt
among the roots ; fill the trench partly full, and press firmly with the feet; then fill up level
with top of ground and press again with the feet and cover with loose dirt. Trees thus
‘* healed in” will keep in good condition a long time. Do not cover with litter or straw, as it
‘will make harbor for mice during winter.

If frozen when received, bury the package, unopened, in well-drained ground,
or place in a cool cellar so that it will thaw out slowly and gradually without being exposed to
the air.

If they should appear dry or shrivelled when received, through delay in
transit or any other cause, take them from the package and plunge into a tub of water, or
bury the roots in the ground in an inclining position so as to cover one-half or more of the
tops with the earth, and thoroughly soak with water and let it remain for twenty-four hours
or more until they regain their fresh, plump appearance, when they may be planted.

Planting.—Dig the holes wide enough to admit the roots in their natural position,
without cramping, and deep enough to allow the tree to stand the same depth it stood in the
nursery, except Dwarf Pears, which should be set a little deeper, so as to cover the Quince
Stock on which they are worked ; throw the surface and subsoil in separate piles; cut off
smoothly from the underside all broken or bruised roots and cut back the past season’s
growth of top one-half to two-thirds, leaving two to three goods buds to each branch—except

POMONA NURSERIES. ‘ 3

for fall planting in cold climates, when it is best to defer top-pruning until Spring, just before
the buds start. At all times keep the roots carefully protected from the sun and wind. Place
the tree in the hole; fill in with fine surface soil, working it in and among the roots, placing
them out in their natural position; when hole is half full, pour ina little water and press
firmly with the foot, filling all cavities and air space with earth so that it will come in contact
with all the roots ; continue to fill up and keep pressed until the hole is full, when it should be
covered with loose dirt to prevent baking, being careful not to get too deep.

Never put any manure in the holes, A little Bone Dust or good rich soil is
best in the bottom of the hole and the fertilizers applied to the surface and worked in. A
covering of coarse manure, straw, litter, hay, or even stones the first season, will retain the
moisture, prevent injury from drouth, and be of great benefit during dry séason.

Small Fruit Plants should be set in pail of two or three inches of water and taken
out one at a time as planted, and not allow the roots to be exposed to the sun or air, If not
ready to plant strawberries on arrival, do not pour water on them in the packages or in the
bunches, as they will surely heat and spoil. They may be spread out thinly in shallow
trenches, with their crowns even with the surface, and ,healed in as advised for trees, and
sprinkled with water and shaded for a few days.

PARAGON Apple is a seedling from Ten-
nessee. The original tree, over fifty years
old, is still vigorous and bearing, though
mutilated by storms. The young trees show
great vigor of growth, come to bearing very
young and are very productive. Fruit large,
roundish, somewhat flattened ; color dark red,
slightly streaked; flesh firm, yellow, crisp,
aromatic, subacid and juicy. It is a very
late keeper, rich and of excellent quality.
The Paragon is thought to be a cross between
Wine Sap and Limbertwig, combining the
good qualities of each. Its full size, showy
appearance, long keeping and splendid ship-

color,

Marengo, Whitney,

ping qualities, together with its excellent eat-
ing quality, render it very valuable as a mar-
ket or family variety,

FLORY or Winter Banana.—An acciden-
tal seedling of Indiana and claimed to be the
finest, most profitable, most productive
hardy apple yet discovered. One of these
apples placed on a table will soon fill the
whole room with a delightful banana perfume.

This wonderful and very large apple is
nearly as hardy as the native Crab, having
passed through severe winters unhurt, when
many other varieties were entirely killed. It
is unsurpassed for beauty—a golden yellow,
with slight blush or tint of red on sun side,
It is of excellent sub-acid flavor, much resem-
bling a banana, a delicious eating and a
splendid cooking apple. It is a good keep-
ing apple, remaining in good condition until
April. Tree is a vigorous, upright grower,
and top buds generally produce fruit at two
years of age, bear annually and increase in
numbers with age.

It would be difficult to imagine a winter
apple possessing more desirable features for
family or market than the Flory or Winter
Banana.

PARLIN from Maine. The original tree
is still standing, vigorous and healthy, though
over fifty years of age. Very hardy, having
withstood, uninjured, very low temperature.
A good grower, very productive. Fruit very
handsome, splashed and striped with red;
good quality; marketable early in Septem-
ber, tmmediately after Maidens Blush, and
continues growing better and handsomer for
two to three months.

STARR.—The original tree of this most
valuable apple was found on grounds Judge
John Moore White, of Woodbury, N. J.,
which property afterwards came in possession
of Mrs. Starr, whose son, John Starr, while
in the Legislature with the late William Parry,
about 1865, gave him scions from which he
grew and fruited it under name of Starr
apple. It has proven a very valuable and
desirable early market apple, having created
for itself such a reputation that it is always
sought after and bought up by fancy grocers
at high prices, even when other good varie-
ties are selling low. The tree is a good
grower, comes to fruiting young and pro-
duces annually abundant crops. Fruit is very
large, eleven to twelve inches around, showy,
being pale green, frequently with handsome
blush on sunny side; very early, being mar-
ketable first week in July, and will continue
in good condition until September, being an
excellent shipper for so early an apple, hav-
ing carried to California in good condition ;
pleasant sub-acid—a very superior cooking
and very good eating apple.

STARR APPLE.
(For price see page 3.)

Below we give extracts from comments of
some of the Editors and Horticulurists who
have seen it:

Country Gentleman: It is a large, hand-
some fruit, pale green in color, measuring 11
inches in circumference, and pleasantly sub-
acid. The specimens were not fully ripe when
received (July 27th) although mellow to the
touch, but make an excellent sauce. The tree
is said to come to bearing very young and to
be very productive. It should prove an excel-
lent market and cooking apple.

Am. Farm and Horticulturist: The Starr
is a most beautiful apple, and for this season
ot the year, July 27th, it is very large, meas-
uring 11 inches around, and we hope will
prove very valuable,

THOMAS MEEHAN: We think very highly
of the Starr Apple, and will have cut made
from your specimen, with notice, for Septem-
ber Meehan’s Monthly. -

H. R. WaLwortu, of Maryland Farmer:
We have tried your Starr Apple and find it all
that can be desired for cooking purposes.

Prairie Farmer: We have received from
William Parry a new apple, fully ripe July
29th. The apple is large, sub-acid, a good

eating apple and we think, from its texture,
a good cooking apple.

Joun T. LovETT, Little Silver, N. J., and
introducer of many valuable new fruits: The
Starr Apple, with its brisk, sprightly, sub-
acid flavor, and its smooth, creamy texture, is
the most refreshing and delicious of all the
summer apples I haye yet seen. Adding to
this its beautiful form and smooth skin, you
have in it a beautiful as well as a highly-fla-
vored fruit. In size it isjust right, being large,
but not over sized. If the tree is a good
grower and prolific you have in it, I think, a
most valuable apple. Its skin is so firm it will
doubtless stand shipping well.

P. B. HORNER, Commission Merchant,
Philadelphia, says: We consider the Starr
a good salable apple, one of the best that we
get. Its size suits our trade.

W. R. WarD, Supt. NV. F. State Exhtout,
Worlds Fair, Chicago, [ls.: The Starr Ap-
ples sent by you for exhibition at the World’s
Fair have been received and they will add
much attractiveness to the display. I am con-
vinced that it will prove a valuable addition
to the list of early apples, and its large size
and handsome appearance bespeak for it suc.
cess as an early market apple.

Should any responsible parties offer you first class grape vines or other stock at
less than rates quoted by us, make out your list at their prices and,as our stock
is very large, we will furnish at the same while our supply lasts. ’

KIEFFERS ON THEIR OWN ROOTS.

We call especial attention to Kieffer Pear trees, on their own roots, grown from cuttings,
which have many advantages over those grownfrom buds or grafts on French Pear roots.

The roots and tops all being Kieffer the tree is constitutionally healthier, less liable
to blight; does not send up suckers from the roots, which, from natural or French
stocks, are not only a great annoyance, but are liable to blight and carry disease to the

stump.

STANDARDS—LEADING VARIETIES.—Ripening in the order named ;

LAWSON.—A healthy grower, free from
blight, very productive, medium to large ;
beautiful red color on yellow ground, remark.
ably attractive and handsome; flesh crisp,
juicy and pleasant ; very early, ripening mid-
dle of July.

CLAPP’S FAVORITE.—Large, handsome,
delicious, good grower and productive.

BARTLETT.—A good grower, very pro-
ductive and an annual bearer; fruit large,
yellow, juicy, buttery and excellent; very

popular. ,

THE IDAHO PEAR.—% diameter.

IDAHO PEAR—Is a seedling raised from
seed of a large red-cheeked pear by Mrs.
Mulkey, of Idaho, who planted the seed

about twenty years ago. The tree fruited
the fourth year from seed, and has borne
annually ever since, seeming to be entirely
hardy. As it originated in or near the lati-
tude of Quebec, it has survived winters
when the thermometer ranged from 15 to 30
degrees below zero. The trees are upright
and vigorous in habit, having a dark, luxuri-
ant foliage, giving the impression that it may
be a descendant of the Oriental race of
pears, though of much superior quality to
any of their known varieties. Very produc-

tive of fruit of largest size, weighing from 15
to 23 ounces; form roundish or obovate ;
flavor pleasant—equal to Bartlett ; flesh en-
tirely free from gritty texture ; core exceed-
ingly small and often without seeds; later
than Bartlett, and good shipper, having car-
ried 2,000 miles in good condition.

THE KOONCE,.—It is with pleasure that
we Offer this valuable very early pear of strik-
ing beauty and excellent quality. It is a chance
seedling found on an old farm in Illinois, The
original tree was very old when discovered
and showed evidence of having produced
heavy crops of fruit. The introducer began
propagating it and soon had a large orchard
in bearing, and has now been thoroughly
tested in orchard and proven the very best
early pear. Tree is very vigorous, free from
blight, upright and claimed to be a better
grower than Kieffer. Fruit, medium to large.
Skin, yellow and one side covered with bright
red, rendering it strikingly handsome, Ripens
two weeks earlier than Harvest Belle or
Jefferson. It does not rot at the core and is
the BEST EARLY PEAR; very productive,
handsome and of a delicious quality seldom
found in an early pear,

Its strong, vigorous growth, freedom from
blight, early bearing, immense productive-
ness, early ripening, beautiful appearance,
large size and delicious quality combine to
render it the MoST VALUABLE EARLY market
pear before the public, and will be largely
planted.

To the fruit growers of the South
the Koonce should prove very valuable. — Its.
vigorous growth with heavy foliage should
enable it to endure the hot climate, while its
late blooming will insure for it abnndant
crops, while the Kieffer and Le Conte are
frequently killed in bloom by late frosts, and
its extreme carliness, with firmness of flesh
and. good.shipping qualities will place it in
northern markets without competition and
command for it very high prices, while its
great beauty and spicey, juicy delicious quality
will make it sought after by all lovers of fine
fruits.

GEORGE W. ENDIcorT, of Illinois State

8 POMONA NURSERIES,

Horticultural Society, states: ‘I have seen
the Koonce Pear in fruiting for the past ten
years, and must say it has no competitor as
an early pear, good bearer, good keeper, good
shipper and the BEST in QUALITY of any of
the early pears.”

LE CONTE.—Very vigorous grower, with
luxuriant foliage; fruit very large, greenish
yellow, smooth and handsome, juicy, fair
quality, excellent for evaporating or canning ;
very productive and profitable.

HOWELL.—A good grower, very produc-
tive and reliable ; large, yellow and excellent
quality.

GARBER HYBRID.—A seedling of Chinese
Sand Pear; very vigorous and free from
blight; very productive; fruit large, round,
handsome, smooth, waxey yellow, excellent
for canning and preserving.

SECKLE.—Small, yellowish russet, rich,
juicy, melting, delicious, best quality, slow
grower, free from blight.

BEURRE D’ANJOU—Good grower, very

productive and valuable ; fruit large, greenish
yellow, buttery, melting, very good.

SHELDON.—Good size, russet, juicy and
excellent.

KIEFFER,—A seedling of Chinese Sand
Pear ; very vigorous, free from blight, enor-
mously productive ; fruit large, golden yellow
with red cheek, very handsome, good quality ;
excellent for canning.

LAWRENCE.—A good grower, with good
foliage ; very productive and an annual bearer;
fruit medium, canary yellow, sweet and excel-
lent ; a good keeper.

IMPERFECT FERTILIZATION.

It has long been known that strawberries
and some other fruits gave best results when
several varieties were planted together, so that
the pollen of the different varieties could be
intermixed ; but until recently it had not been
considered necessary with the larger fruits.

In spring of 93 Prof. M. B. Waite, of the
Department of Agriculture, at Washington,
D. C., spent several days at the Pomona
Nurseries, experimenting with the pollen
of pears, and found that the pollen of many
varieties of pears is entirely sterile upon its
own variety. Bartlett is considered so, and
Anjou is as sterile on its own variety as Bart-
lett ; but the pollen of Anjou is perfectly

ood for Bartlett, and that of Bartlett is per-
ectly good for Anjou. Seckel and Duchesse
ane very satisfactory fertilizers. Buffum,
Howell and Bose do not need fertilization
from other varieties.

Our attention has been attracted to some
large blocks of Kieffers and Bartletts that,
under unfavorable climatic conditions during
time of blooming, would produce little or no
fruit, while other orchards of Kieffers and

Bartletts, having other varieties through or
near them, have given much better results ;
and we are led to believe that in planting
Kieffer orchards they will be more productive
if other varieties are planted among them.

In established orchards of Kieffer that are
not fruiting satisfactorily, we would suggest
planting some other varieties among them at
a distance of every fifth row ; and as it is im-
portant to have a variety that blooms ear/y in
the season, and to get immediate benefit it
should be a variety that blooms young ;

The JAPAN GOLDEN RUSSET appears
to be admirably adapted for this purpose, it
being of dwarf habit, spreading but little,
and generally blooms the first year after trans-
planting, or at two or three years of age ; and
while it does not open quite so early as the
Kieffer, it comes on rapidly, and is in full
bloom before the Kieffer is done. Smith’s
Hybrid, Mad. Von Siebold, Le Conte and
Garber may also be used to good advantage,
though none bloom so young as the Japan
Golden Russet.

Lincoln Coreless Winter
Pear.

This wonderful and remark-
able late winter pear, so far as
we are able to ascertain, is a
chance i It originated
in Lincoln Co., Tenn., near
Alabama line, and the original
tree can be traced back for sixty
years, during which time it has
seldom failed to bear. The origi-
nal tree, though scarcely more
than a sheil, has remained free
from blight and annually borne
fruit. Notwithstanding the fact
that 1890 was a bad fruit year,
the old tree had some fruit and |
the samples were secured from
which our plates were me

trees are goo
«pe dark, foliage
and entirely free
from blight, leaf rust or mildew.

The fait is very large and
matures late in the season, at
which time it is hard and green;
but, when put away and kept
during winter, it gradually mel-
lows, becomes very highly color-
ed, juicy, rich and of a very
delicate aromatic flavor. It
keeps longer than any other
variety known or tested in that
section, having been kept in
good condition until March.
The flesh is of a rich yeilow
tint. It has neither seed nor
core and can be preserved
whole. Occasionally a speci-
men will have a rudimentary
seed or two, which are merely
black specks, about the size of
a pin head, and rudimentary
core lines; but these are the
exceptions and the core lines are
never hard and leathery. Some
of its good features, briefly
stated, are freedom from
blight or other disease,
a regular heavy bearer,
strong, healthy grower,
an excellent shipper, the
best of keepers. Largest
size—single specimens weigh 1
tol} 44s. High color—ren-
dering it a very attractive market fruit ;
absence of seeds and core—there be-
ing an uninterrupted solid mass of melting,
juicy, luscious flesh, found in no other variety,
rendering it very desirable asa dessert or can-
ning fruit. Quality, the best of its
season.

and fruit tree growers, as well as for
ornamental purposes. Nor did we have
long to wait, for remarkable as it ap-
peared in vigor and beauty, it was none
the less remarkable in fruiting, and at two
years of age was heavily laden with the
beautiful GOLDEN RussET PEARS which
Hh were found to be crisp, juicy, sweet, pleasant
' and unsurpassed for canning or preserving.

The JAPAN GOLDEN RUSSET tree has con-
tinued to bear enormously EVERY YEAR,
having o off years. The season of 1890,

The above variety was found accidentally when all varieties failed, Kieffer not ex-
in an importation of Japan Persimmon’ cepted, the JAPAN GOLDEN RUSSET pro-
Trees. Its rampant growth, with dark, duced its usual heavy crop, showing it is
greenish brown glossy wood and large, not affected by the sudden changes of heat
luxuriant foliage, was so distinct from any- or cold. Its bearing propensities are so
thing with which we were familiar, that we great that the fruit hangs in great masses
were’ at once impressed with its wonderful and clusters, and, consequently, if not
vigor and beauty, and anxiously awaited its thinned, the tree will not increase rapidly
fruiting, feeling assured that if such a healthy in growth, and is therefore nicely adapted to
growing tree should produce a desirable small plots or can be planted closely to-
fruit it would be gladly received by all fruit gether. The abundance of thick, tough,

POMONA NURSERIES. 11

leathery leaves of the JAPAN GOLDEN Rus-
SET enables it to endure great heat and
drought, and will particularly adapt it to dry,
hot climates and parched, sandy soils, where
the European varieties cannot exist. It
| also matures its wood so perfectly that
it would require very intense cold to in-
jure it, and it is very free from blight and
insects,

It also makes a remarkably handsome
Lawn Tree, and will become a profitable
market variety as well as desirable for family
use,

The leaves are large and velvety, measur-
ing 6 to 8 inches in length by 8 to 4 in
width, and of dark green color until fall,
when they become a beautiful bronze,
changing to a brilliant crimson, and with
their branches bending under their loads of
GOLDEN RussET PEARS it is a thing of
beauty indeed

The fruit is of a handsome, uniform, per-
fect, flat or apple shape, so that it has been
suggested that it may be a hybrid between
the apple and pear, of good size—8 or 10

inches around, and becoming a beautiful
Golden Russet color, ripening in September,

Prof. Budd, of Iowa Experiment Station,
says in Rural New Yorker, that ‘‘the Japan
‘« Golden Russet Pear is probably a native of
‘* Russia. The tree thrives with him with
‘‘a luxuriance never reached by anything
** truly indigenous to Japan. It fruits at an
‘‘early age very full, and he believes that in
“the southern half of Iowa it will give
‘*much satisfaction. As ripened in this
‘‘hot, dry climate, it is handsome, unique,
‘and really good for culinary use. It is,
‘in fact, the last of October, properly ripen-
‘* ed in the house, refreshing for dessert use,”’

BEWARE OF IMITATIONS, as we
understand a Western firm is offering what
they claim to be the same thing under a dif-
ferent name. Send to Headquarters and get
the genuine Japan Golden Russet.

WILDER EARLY Pear is a good grow-
ing, good keeping, good shipping, superior
flavored, very early, handsome pear. It holds
its foliage well, and thus far has been free
from blight or other disease.

SENECA PEAR:

Seedling of Bartlett, ripening later,
(See page 6 for prices. )

The BARTLETT is considered by many
the most valuable pear we have, but unfor-
tunately its season of ripening is in the height
of peaches, and to secure the best prices for
the BARTLETTS it is necessary to put them
in cold storage and hold them until the
markets are partially relieved. The SENECA,
a seedling of the Bartlett, possesses all the
good features of its parent, with the advan-
tage of ripening a little later.

A strong, vigorous, upright, hardy grower,
retaining its foliage green and healthy very
late in the season ; never having shown any
blight, mildew or other disease; making a
very handsome tree. Bears young and
abundantly,

Fruit a beautiful bright yellow, with
brilliant red cheek. Large, rich, juicy, but-
tery, melting, sprightly, vinous—of high
flavor—very attractive in appearance and of
excellent quality. Much admired and highly
praised by all who see it.

Ripening immediately after Bartlett and
commanding highest prices. At Burlington
County Agricultural Fair, held at Mt. Holly,
N. J., September 12, 1891, in a very large
fruit exhibit, the SENECA attracted much
admiration from the thousands of visitors
and was awarded first premium as_ best
Seedling Pear,

At New Jersey Inter-State Fair, at Tren-
ton, N. J., October 5th to 11th, at an im-
mense display of choice fruits, the SENECA
was again awarded first premium,

Opinions of prominent Horticulturists and
Horticultural Editors regarding SENECA
Pear :

CHARLES A. GREEN, Editor Green's Frutt
Grower: This is a handsome pear, yellow
skin, speckled with dots, light blush on one
side, flesh ,nearly white, quality good. It
seems to be a desirable market variety.

Country Gentlemen: It ripens just after
the Bartlett, and we found it of excellent
quality, though not of the highest flavor.
Its size and appearance are both in its favor,
the former as being sufficiently large for
ordinary table purposes, and the latter as
attractive to the buyer.

Practical Farmer: The SENECA ripens
immediately after Bartlett, and judged by
the specimen sent us is a most desirable addi-
tion to the pear family.

P. J. BERKMANS, Pres. Am. Pomologtcat
Society: I find the Seneca Pear as follows:
Flesh white, fine grained, buttery, juicy and
sprightly sub-acid, quality good to very good ;,
merits, attractive color and good quality. It
shows some Bartlett blood and would con-
sider it a good market fruit.

WILMER ATKINSON, of Farm Fournal,
Philadelphia : The Seneca received in excel-
lent condition. Quality seems to be fair, and
as a market pear I have seen xothing finer.

R. G. CHASE & Co., Geneva, New York :
Seneca Pear at hand; Iam much pleased
with it, and would like to know its history.

12 POMONA NURSERIES. :

Joun T. Lovett, Little Silver, N. J.:
The Seneca Pear came in good condition, and
after ripening up we had painting made of it,
and it is very pretty indeed. If the tree is
a good grower and productive the Seneca is
certainly a valuable variety.

Am. Agriculturist, New York City: We
received the handsome specimen of Seneca
Pear. This new variety ripens a little later
than Bartlett. Is of very good quality and
attractive in appearance.

Rural New Yorker, New York City: The
following notes September 13th, Seneca Pear:
Large, obovate, pyriform, stem nearly two
inches long, rather stout, flattened at the
junction where the union is made with a cur-
ious fleshy ridge, calyx open, basin rather
large and uneven, color light, yellow marked
with} bright green mottlings and green dots,

bright blush on sunny side, flesh white, fine
grained, very vinous and sprightly, melting
and delicious, very good to best in quality,
sufficiently so to make it desirable for either
home or market.

In 1889, upon receipt of samples, B]l-
wanger and Barry reported: ‘“Itisa
large, handsome and very good pear, much
the appearance of Bartlett, though without
the musky flavor.”

Realizing the high prices at which Bartletts
sella “ttle after their season and the advan-
tage of a large, handsome pear of good qual-
ity ripening at that favorable time, we take
pleasure in introducing the Seneca Pear to
lovers of rare and choice fruits, with every
confidence of its cordial reception, general
satisfaction and profit to the planter.

A limited number of one year old trees to
offer.

VERMONT BEAUTY.—This beautiful
and valuable Pear originated on Grand Isle,
Lake Champlain. Is very hardy, having en-
dured extremely cold weather, and has never
lost a bud from either cold or blight. Vigor-
ous grower, free from leaf-blight. An annual
and abundant bearer. In quality the fruit
approaches nearer that most delicious of
Pears, the Seckle, than any other pear on the
market. The fruit is full medium size, yel-

low, covered on the sunny side with a bright

POMONA NURSERIES. 18

carmine red, making it exceedingly attractive
and handsome; flesh melting, rich, juicy,
aromatic; best. Ripens with and after the
Seckle, though much larger in size and more
attractive in appearance ; cannot fail to prove
a general favorite and very valuable.

LINCOLN.—A new variety from Illinois—
large, handsome and good quality, ripening
in October, and should not be confused with
Lincoln Coreless Winter.

CYDONIA (Pyrus) JAPONICA /afanx
Quince is widely known and extensively
grown throughout the country as a very
showy and popular shrub, producing in pro-
fusion handsome bloom upon the first ap-
proach of spring and before the foliage ap-
pears, making a very striking effect.

The fruit from this shrub has been so small
as to be of little value. By years of careful
selection and propagation, with the view of im-
proving the fruit, we have produced the Col-
umbia, 2 variety rivaling in size and shape the
famous Belle Flower Apple, measuring 9 to 12
inches around, greenish yellow, with hand-
some blush, surface ribbed like a citron and
covered with small white dots. This fruit is
so very fragrant that one specimen will soon
fill a room with a delightful perfume. - It
cooks as tender as an apple and makes a jelly
equalled only by the highly prized Guava,

The valuable culinary properties of the

Japan Quince are not generally known, though
the enterprising proprietor of a large and
fashionable seaside hotel, whose guests are
enthusiastic in their praise of this delicious,
unknown jelly, has for years engaged the en-
tire crop in advance of its ripening.

The tree is entirely hardy, healthy, free
from blight, mildew and insect pests, enor-
mously productive, and comes to bearing very
young. So that in this beautiful fruit bear-
ing shrub we have the rare combination of a
very handsome ornamental plant and most
valuable fruit.

FULLER QUINCE,—First brought to notice
by and named in honor of Andrew S. Fuller,
author of Grape Culturist, Small Fruit Cul-
turist, etc. The most reliable variety yet
found, not having failed to produce a crop of
the largest, handsomest and finest fruit in over
twenty years. The tree is a strong grower,
with large smooth foliage, which it has re-

POMONA NURSERIES. 15

tained, and produced fruit abundantly in loca-
tions and situations where all othervarieties
of the quince are barren. The fruit ripens
early, is of the largest size, pyriform in
shape, of clear, bright lemon-yellow color,
highly flavored and tender.

MEECH.—Strong grower, enormously pro-
ductive, and comes to bearing very young.
The fruit is remarkable for its fine form and
color, high fragrance and flavor, large size,
bright orange-yellow, very handsome, unsur-
passed for cooking, .

CHAMPION.— Very hardy and _ prolific,
commencing very young, often at two and
three years old in nursery rows; very large,
showy and handsome, rich yellow, flesh tender
and cooks free from lumps.

ORANGE.—The well-known old and popu-
lar sort, large, golden-yellow, fine quality.

REA’S MAMMOTH.—Seedling of Orange
Quince, strong grower, large and handsome,

APRICOTS.

JAPAN appears to abound in wonderful
and delicious fruits, and among the most re-
markable of recent introduction are the Japan
Apricots—far excelling the American or Rus-
sian in vigor of growth, hardiness and excel-
lent quality, ripening in the order named.

HUBBARD.—Large, clear bright yellow;
very :prolific.

p GOLD DUST.—Very large, golden ; excel-
ent.
* BEMGOUME. — Very large,
around ; beautiful golden yellow.
ACME or SHENSE.—From seed procured
by I. L. Budd, from China. Tree is a free
and vigorous grower, exceedingly hardy and
productive. Fruit very large, yellow with red
cheek, good quality, free stone.

RUSSIAN Apricot is claimed to be in
every way superior to the American varieties
in early bearing and quality of fruit, as well
as hardiness of trees, and freedom from all
disease, worms and insects, that have been so
destructive to trees and fruit of the peach and
plum. In extremely cold locations, where the
mercury falls to 46 deg. below zero, the Rus-
sian Apricots have passed through the winter
safely, while the Americans by their side
have been killed to the ground.

THE LINCOLN PLUM.

‘¢ For years we have been searching every-
where for acquisitions to the list of cultivated
varieties of the Plum—those that were pro-
lific, handsome and of fine quality, but above
everything else, those that escape the attacks
of the curculio. Our efforts have thus far
resulted in bringing forward the Spaulding
and Abundance and giving popularity to sev-
eral others. We now offer the Lincoln,
which, in several important properties, is the
most remarkable Plum we have yet seen. It
is the largest in size of all hardy plums, aver-
age specimens from overloaded trees measur-
ing 24 inches long and over six inches around,
weighing two ounces—selected specimens
weighing four ounces each ; the finest in qual-
ity of any Plum we have ever tested, surpass-
ing its parent, that standard of excellence,
the old Green Gage; wonderfully prolific,
the plums hanging like ropes of onions upon
the branches; dcautiful in form and color,
very carly in ripening and curculio proof. —

‘‘ This marvelous Plum originated in York
county, Pa., over twenty-five years ago, from
seed of Green Gage or Reine Claude; and
Lincoln was given it as an appropriate name
when it first came into bearing on account of
its many merits of high order—Lincoln at
the time being President. In color it is red-
dish purple, with a delicate bloom, very

bright, showy and attractive ; flesh light yel-
low or amber, exceedingly juicy, rich, sweet,
melting and luscious—entirely free from any
coarseness or toughness—parting freely from
the stone, It ripens from the first to the
middle of August and its productiveness is
simply beyond description or comprehension
until seen. A feature peculiar to the variety
lies in the fact that when fully ripe the skin
loosens and can be readily pulled from the
flesh in the manner of a scalded tomato—this
property being made possible by the strength
of the skin, which, though not thick, is so
strong as to completely protect the fruit from
the attacks of the curculio.”

Mr. E. B. Good, York county, Pa., in send-
ing us some specimens of the fruit on August
5th, writes :

‘¢ The specimens I send you by mail are of
only medium size. Specimens have been grown
to weigh four ounces. The tree from which
these I send you were picked is just literally
covered with plums and standing in a stiff
sod. It is, indeed, a fine and wonderful sight
to behold. This plum will annihilate dozens
of late introduction, and I am sadly mistaken’
if there is not heaps of money in it for the
market grower. Too much cannot be said
in its favor,” ~

JAPANESE PLUMS.

ABUNDANCE, This isa remarkable fruit
indeed ; both in tree and fruit it is unlike any
other Plum. In growth it is so strong and
handsome as to render it worthy of being
planted as an ornamental tree, equaling in
thrift and beauty the Kieffer Pear, which 2
even excels in early and profuse bearing.

Its propensity to early bearing is such that
it loads in the nursery row, bending the limbs
with weight of fruit until they sometimes break,
and this is the case every year. ‘The curculio
has no effect upon it, the eggs failing to
hatch and produce the destructive grub the
same as with the Spaulding. The fruit is very
large, showy and beautiful. Amber, turning
to a rich, bright, cherry color with a decided
white bloom and highly perfumed. Season
early—August. Stone small and parts readily

from flesh. Price, each, 25c.; Doz. $2.50 ;
100, $20.00.

SATSUMA. A purple fleshed plum from
Japan, of very vigorous growth, with rank,
dark-green foliage; enormously productive of
fruit ; larger, handsomer, very much richer
and better flavored than Kelsey—hardier and
ripening five to six weeks earlier. Pit but little
larger than a cherry stone. Fruits at two or
three years of age. Considered the most val-
uable of Japan Plums,

BURBANK. Japan, crimson purple, very
handsome and rich; hardy and productive.

WILLARD (No. 2 Botan.) Immensely
productive, a month earlier than Abundance ;
large size and good quality.

SPAULDING PLUM.—‘‘The first
of a new race of curculio proof plums.
Has never failed to produce a full crop
in 20 years, and is so enormously pro-
ductive as to bend the limbs in a rain-
bow curve. The curculio has no power
over it. Fruit large, yellowish green,
with marblings of a deeper green and a
delicate white bloom ; flesh, pale yel-
low, exceedingly firm, of sugary sweet-
ness, though sprightly and of great
richness. The canned fruit is simply
superb and presents a most attractive
appearance. The fruit has been selling
here for many years at $1 a peck.
Tree as- exceptional in its vigor as a
Kieffer or LeConte pear. Ripens early ;
from middle to last of August here.

THE DWARF ROCKY MOUNTAIN
CHERRY is thought to be a new species
of cherry not classified botanically.
C. S. CRANDALL, Department of Botany
and Horticulture, State Agricultural College,
Col., states the plant is not described in the
manual of Rocky Mountain Botany. It is
closely related to the Eastern Sand Cherry
(Prunus pumila), but differs from it in a de-
gree that would seem to warrant the opinion
that it isa distinct species, and other noted
botanists are unable to classify it. But what-
ever its botanical position, it is certainly a
remarkable fruit under cultivation. Entirely
hardy, having withstood 40° below zero un-
harmed in either fruit, budor branch. Chas.
E. Pennock, nurseryman and fruit grower,
of Colorado, says: ‘‘It is the most pro-
ductive fruit ‘‘of which I have any knowl-
‘*edge. I have picked sixteen quarts of fruit
‘* off a three-year-old bush. I have picked

*¢ eighty cherries off a branch twelve inches
‘‘long of a two-year-old bush. The fruit is
‘*jet black when ripe, and in size averages
‘* somewhat larger than the English Morello,
‘* season of ripening being after all others

Prof.”

‘fare gone. In flavor it is akin to the sweet
‘¢ cherries, and when fully ripe, for preserves
‘for to eat out of hand, it has no equal in
‘¢the line of pitted fruits, and is conceded
‘“ superior to any fruit grown in this section.
‘It has the best system of roots of any
‘¢shrub or tree I have ever planted, which
‘‘accounts for the wonderful productiveness
“of plants at such an early age. It bears
‘fevery year, and is as prolific as a currant
‘bush. Grows to a height of four feet, and has
‘never been affected by insects, black knot
‘or other disease. In addition to its immense
‘« productiveness of luscious fruits, valuable
‘‘ for pies, sauce or for market purposes, it
‘*¢makes a handsome flowering bush with its
‘mass of pure white flowers. Some plant-
‘fers, where its good qualities are known,
‘¢ will set them by the 100 and 500 in the
‘* spring.”

They grow four to five feet high and begin
to bear luscious Cherries the second year
lanted and are much sought after for parks,
wns, gardens and as market crops on farms.
As ornamental trees or for hedging there is
nothing more delightful in their line from the
time they blossom, in May, until the fruit
ripens, in August, and their beautiful deep
rom willow-like leaves remain very late in

Extracts from statements of many concern-

ing the Dwarf Rocky Mountain Cherry :

_ The fruit is not astringent and is larger
than the Early Richmond Cherry and not so
tart.”’

“It is very hardy and is found in very ex-
posed positions in British Columbia.” ‘‘It
does not send up suckers or sprouts from
roots.”

*«Cherry § in. in diameter—nice, fat and
delicious.”

‘*It is a very enjoyable fruit, either eaten
fresh or for preserving.”

** Those who know it do not hesitate to
commend it in highest terms to gardeners and
fruit growers.”

“It is as hardy asa Mountain Pine, as easi-
ly cultivated and propagated as a gooseberry,
as prolific and steady a bearer as a currant
bush.”

‘* The fruit is as large as a Morello cherry,
is uniform in size and is far superior in rich-
ness of coloring and delicacy of flavor.”

‘*For preserves, or to eat out of hand, it
has no equal in the line of pitted fruits, and
is free from every known insect and tree
disease.”

‘*It will endure longer drouth and more
severe cold than any other variety of the
cherry.”

THE TRIFOLIATE ORANGE—(CitRus
TRIFOLIATA. )—A NEw HARDY ORANGE.—
This is the most hardy of the orange family,
and will stand our Northern climate with lit-
tle or no protection, and is also desirable for
pot culture. In the parks of both New York
and Philadelphia it is growing luxuriantly,
and blooming and fruiting profusely. You
can have an orange tree growing, blooming
and fruiting on your lawn or yard. It isa
dwarf, of a low,‘ symmetrical growth, with
beautiful trifoliate, glossy green leaves, and
an abundance of large, white, sweet-scented
blossoms, larger and finer than any other
variety of orange blossoms, and borne almost
continually, The fruit is small, bright
orange-red in color, having a peculiar flavor,
of no value for eating, though it may prove
useful in making a lemonade, as the fruit is
as acid as a lime. The fine appearance of
the plant, with its constant habit of bloom-
ing, and showy fruit, combine to makea plant
of peculiar value and beauty. It is a con-
spicuous and attractive object in any shrub-
bery or pleasure ground, pot or tub, and is
best suited for open ground culture, as it is
deciduous and drops its leaves in the fail, and
cannot be induced to make much growth in
winter, even in a greenhouse, though it will
not drop its leaves if kept from frost. It
blooms very profusely in spring and early
summer, but after the fruit begins to form,
blossoms are not plentiful. Our cut repre-
sents a young tree, about four feet high, as
it appears when in bloom and when in fruit,
but the flowers and fruit do not appear
together to the extent there shown. The
fragrance produced by a tree in bloom can be
appreciated only by those who are familiar

: - past.

with the delicious perfume of the orange
blossom. We predict for this tree a great
future. It makes a handsome hedge,

SATSUMA DWARF ORANGE.—A
seedless variety of the Mandarin or Kid
Glove class, of dwarf habit and has with-
stood a cold of 20 degrees of freezing.
They are budded on the Hardy Trifoliate
Orange, which flourishes in climate of
New York City, and can be relied on to
be hardy far north of the limit of other
oranges. The Satsuma thrives in Japan
in sections where there is a considerable
annual snow fall, and the trifoliate stocks

fun being deciduous, keeps them back in the

spring until all danger of late frost is
Their hardiness, dwarf habit and
- thornlessness makes them peculiarly suit-
S able for amateur culture. The fruit is
? medium sized, flattened, deep orange color,
smooth, thin skin, which is sweet, aro-
matic and easily detached from the pulp.
Color of pulp, dark orange; segments part
freely. Fine grain, tender, juicy, sweet and
delicious. The tree is perfectly thornless and
We recom-
mend the Satsuma for trial as far north as
Washington, D. C., and for tub-culture, north
of that point.

CUSTARD APPLE OR NORTHERN
BANANA—THE Paw Paw TREE (Asimina
Triloba.)—This is a small tree, indigenous to
the Middle and Southern States from western
New York to southern Michigan, and south-
ward to middle Florida and eastern Texas,
but rare near the Atlantic coast. It attains
its greatest development in the Mississippi
Valley, and especially along the tributaries
of the lower Ohio River. Although it is
hardy around New York, it is only pre-
cariously hardy north of there. The Paw
Paw tree belongs to the custard apple family
of plants, and is the only arborescent species
of the genus belonging to this country ; two
or three other species, only low shrubs, also
occur in the Southern States, but are not
hardy in the North.

As a lawn tree the Paw Paw is well
worth growing for its shapely form and
ample, abundant and fine foliage, as well as
for its fruit.

PAW PAW —Tree is vigorous, healthy
and handsome, comes to bearing young, pro-
ducing an abundance of fruit of tropical
appearance, resembling a banana, and de-
scribed among the native fruits of Mississippi
Valley, and pronounced the ‘‘ Prince of fruit

bearing shrubs,” and further states: ‘‘ The
‘pulp of the fruit resembles egg-custard in
‘consistence and appearance. It has the
‘*same creamy feeling in the mouth, and
‘unites the tastes of eggs, cream, sugar
‘and spice. It is a natural custard, too
‘*luscious for the relish of most people. The
‘fruit is nutritious, and is a great resource
‘to the savages. So many whimsical and
‘‘unexpected tastes are compounded in it,
‘that it is said that a person of the most
‘*hypochondriac temperament relaxes into a
‘*smile when he tastes a Paw Paw for the
‘first time.” Price, small, by mail, 20c.;
larger, by express, 50 cents.

CELESTIAL HARDY FIG.—With pro-
tection in winter, the Fig can be grown in
the North with much better success than is
generally supposed. By bending to the ground
and covering with earth, they are doing
nicely and bearing abundantly in the neigh-
borhood of Philadelphia. The Celestial is
the hardiest of all Figs, and has endured 20
degrees of freezing and not injured in the
least. After two or three years old, it is
thought they will stand cold down to zero.
It is very prolific, fruit, medium size—sweet
and delicious.

Price, mail or express, 25c. each ; $2.50

MULBERRIES.

Downing, Everbearing, not only makes
a handsome lawn tree, but produces delicious
berries, to fruit at 4 and 5 years
of age, continues in bearing 3 to 4 months of
the year, making it very desirable. Price,
by mail or express, each, 25 cts.; doz,
$2. 50; per 100, $15.00.

The foliage of Mulberries is valuable for
silkworms, while the fruit makes excellent
chicken feed as well as a fine table dessert.

The late Henry Ward Beecher said he
regarded it as an indispensable addition to
every fruit garden, and that he would rather
have a Downing Mulberry tree than a straw-
berry bed.

NUT CULTURE.

Nut culture is an industry that until re-
cently has received but little attention. The
large returns of $25.00 to $50.00 from in-
dividual trees and the immense profits from
sda arpita | orchards have stimulated the in-
terest, and our foremost enterprising fruit
growers are planting NUT TREES largely for
market purposes ; and others who enjoy the
nuts during winter are realizing that in order
to have an abundant supply it is only neces-
sary to plant the trees, as hardy varieties
are now grown that succeed in all sections
of the United States,

Plant Nut Trees Instead of the Nuts.

Until recently nut trees have been but lit-
tle grown in nurseries and in consequence
all transplanted trees have come from the
forests or where they have come up and
grown naturally, and having but little or no

fibrous roots, their transplanting has been
attended with much uncertainty and the im-
pression has been formed that they could not
be transplanted, but that to insure success
the seed must be planted where the tree is
intended to stand, which is erroneous and
has deterred many from engaging in this
profitable industry. Many of the nut bear-
ing trees, when grown in nurseries, are well
supplied with fibrous roots and can be trans-
planted as safely as an apple tree and the
planter has the benefit of the three or four
years growth in the nursery over that of
planting the seed, with the uncertainty of
their coming up regularly, the time, care
and attention required to get them properly
started. We therefore advise our customers
to always plant the trees, if they can be
had, and save three or four years
time.

a4 POMONA NURSERIES,

A Kentuckian, who has two hundred
Chestnut trees and about three hundred
Walnut and Butternut trees, says his
income from them year by year is larger than
that of any farmer cultivating three hundred
acres of ground. He sells his crop on the
trees for cash and the only expenses are for
taxes.

Pecans. The impression that the Pecan
can only be grown in certain favorable, moist
locations is rapidly being dismissed, as they
are being continually discovered throughout
the Middle and Western States in locations
which have not been considered favorable
to their growth. Herein Burlington coun-
ty, New Jersey, are a number of large,
handsome trees, two to three feet in diameter,
on high, dry ground, and producing annually
five to six bushels of delicious thin-shelled
nuts; and a writer in the American Agricul-
turist states ‘‘they can be grown wherever
the hickory thrives.” The wild Pecans com-
mence bearing at six years; at ten they
yield four to five bushels, and increase with
age, and the nuts sell rapidly at four to five
dollars per bushel. The tree is hardy, tough,
free from blight, insect scales or any of the
usual ailments common to orchard trees.

A gentleman in Georgia, Mr. H. C.
Daniels, has a Pecan tree which bears
annually from five to ten bushels of nuts,
which sell readily at wholesale for four to
five dollars per bushel. An orchard of
Pecans set thirty feet apart each way,
requiring forty-eight trees to the acre, at
above rates would give handsome returns.

Don Bernardo Guirado, of California, owns
an English walnut orchard which he reports
yields him a net profit of $15,000 every year.
As the orchard contains one hundred acres
this is at the rate, year in and year out, of
$150 from each acre.

J. H. Burke has a forty acre orchard near
Rivara, which, although not in full bearing,
last year gave him a return of within $40 of
$6,000.

These figures show that the English walnut
is a good tree to plant in California and they
are now being successfully grown over a
large portion of the country.

The Chestnut is also very valuable, not
only for timber purposes, but for market.

Of the improved varieties of large nuts two
to three bushels per tree is but an ordinary
yield, and as they come to bearing at two or
three years of age, or as young asa peach
tree, and the nuts sell at twenty-five to forty
cents per quart, the profits must be very
gratifying and the business pleasant and
popular. When the culinary uses of the
chestnut are more generally appreciated in
this country, as they are in Europe, the de-
mand for those of large size will be immense.
European cooks know how to utilize them in
a number of ways.

Realizing the importance of this new in-
dustry and the increased demand for large
chestauts for culinary purposes, a stock com-
pany has been formed in the vicinity of
Philadelphia, having 150 acres devoted ex-
clusively to chestnut culture, and although a
part of it was set only in Spring of 1891,
they produced some handsome nuts of the
Japan varieties the same year, Below I
give an extract from a customer :

“May 80, 1891. This Spring we ordered
“of you a list of st trees ; among them was
‘*a Mammoth Japan Chestnut. Though a
“small tree it now has seven clusters of
‘* blossoms on it, very much to my surprise.”

Rural New Yorker, August 29, 1891,
states : “ The Paragon Chestnut tree, planted
‘‘in Spring 1888, and now about nine feet
‘thigh, is bearing 438 burrs. Another,
‘‘planted in 1889, and seven feet high,
‘bears 7 burrs. A Reliance Chestnut tree,
**but two feet two inches high, bears 3
‘burrs. It bore several the year before in
*<the nursery row.”

Chestnuts are best prepared for market by
bathing in scalding water as soon as gathered
and thoroughly drying till all surplus mois-
ture is gone, so that moulding is avoided.
The method is to place say a bushel of nuts
in an ordinary washtub and on these pour
boiling water in quantity sufficient to just
cover the nuts an inch or two; the wormy
nuts will float on the surface and are re-
moved ; in about ten to fifteen minutes the
water will have cooled enough to allow the
nuts to be removed by the hand; at this
stage of the process the good of scalding has
been accomplished, the eggs and larva of all
insects have been destroyed, and the condition
of the meat of the nut has been so changed
that it will not become flinty hard in the
curing for winter use. The water is drained
off, nuts placed loosely in sacks, frequently
turned and shaken up as they lay spread in
sun or dry house, and after perfectly dry so
as not to mould they may be packed in
barrels or boxes and stored for winter, when
they will be found very tender, sweet and
delicious. .

There are no other trees so well adapted
for avenues, that will at the same time
yield profitable returns, as our native nut
bearing trees, and none more &uitable for
shade and ornament about farm buildings,
along farm lanes or in pasture fields.

THE JAPAN MAMMOTH
CHESTNUT

Is among the most valuable recent introduc-
tions from Japan, and, although it revels in
dry, sandy soil, yet it will adapt itself to
almost any conditions, and has proven
hardy in the extreme cold climates, and flour-
ishes in the south and southwestern States,

JAPAN MAM

OTH CHESTNUT

~~ = a + aX 1 pone
A

TREE, four years old, at

Pomona Nurseries, producing four quarts of mammoth nuts.

It is quite distinct trom the European va-
rieties, being hardier and the nuts are of a
superior flavor and sweetness, The leaf is
long and narrow, like a peach leaf, of dark
green color, making a very ornamental lawn
tree ; comes to bearing at two to three years
of age, and while yet in the nursery rows, 3 to
4 feet high, they are heavily laden with nuts
of enormous size, measuring 4 to 6 inches
around and running 38 to 7 in a bur. Their
carly bearing and great productiveness of such
enormous nuts are the wonder and admiration
of all who see them.

The value of chestnuts and profits of their
culture depend very much on their early
ripening, as large chestnuts marketed in Sep-
tember and early October will bring $10 to

$15 per bushel, while in latter October and
November the price will drop to $6 or $8 per
bushel. Our Japan Mammoth has the fortu-
nate feature of maturing very early and with-
out the aid of frost to open the burrs, and are
hardy in northern New York.

Below we give extracts from a number of
horticultural papers in regard to our Japan
Mammoth Chestnut:

From Forest and Garden: We have received
several chestnuts of named varieties from differ-
ent nurserymen. One of these, from the Po-
mona Nurseries, at Parry, New Jer-
sey, is of the Japanese variety and is well
named Giant from its remarkable size. The
Japanese nut is surrounded bya bitter skin
which can, however, be easily removed. All

(See pages 22 and 23 for prices. )

26 POMONA NURSERIES.

these big nuts are greatly improved in flavor
by being boiled or roasted, and when thus
prepared they are almost as good in quality as
the American chestnut. There is little doubt
that a grove of any of these large varieties
would prove a remunerative investment in
places where the trees are hardy.

From Rural New Yorker: Wm. Parry, of
Parry, N. J., sends us a single chestnut from
the ‘‘ Japan Giant” which measures just two
inches through its widest diameter. Theskin
is puckery and the flesh not so sweet as that of
the Paragon.

From Practical Farmer > Wm. Parry, the
well-known nurseryman of Parry, N, J., sends
us a specimen of his Japan Giant Chestnut.
It is the largest chestnut we ever saw, and
while not as sweet as the common one is yet
very palatable. With such specimens for a
regular crop, chestnut culture would be a
profitable business.

From Wilmer Atkinson, in Farm
Fournal: We have received from Wm. Parry
a specimen of Japan Giant Chestnut measur-
ing five inches in circumference, &c., &c.

From American Agriculturist: Tmproved
chestnuts. Wm. Parry, of Parry, N. J., sends
us specimens of the Japan Giant Chestnut,
nearly two inches in diameter and very at-
tractive in appearance. With such varieties
and careful management there is profit in
chestnut culture.

From J. J. Thomas, of Country Gen-
tleman: The Japan Giant Chestnut is re-
markable for its large size, being over one and
a half inches in diameter, and the gua/ity ap-
pears to be guite equal to that of the common
chestnut.

From American Cultivator: The Japan
Chestnut has a bright future in America.
The only fault that can be found with the trees
at present is their price. They grow as well
on the same land as native chestnut trees
and produce earlier, The nuts are very large
and good. Sample trees at the Connecticut
State Fair were only three years from the
scion and yet showed as high as thirty-four
buds to the tree.

PEDIGREE CHESTNUTS.

Since our first importation of Japan Mam-
moth Chestnut by a careful selection of seed
from trees yielding, in abundance, nuts of

large size, good form, good quality, and»

ripening early, we have produced a very
superior strain of this valuable Chestnut, that
can be relied on to bear large, handsome and
desirable nuts.

From among thousands of these Pedigree
Japan Mammoth Chestnuts we have selecteda
few of rare value. Their special features
being young fruiting, great and uniform an-
nual productiveness, large and attractive nuts
of good quality, sipening early, all of which
they possess in a remarkable degree. They
are much larger than any of the American,
French, Spanish or Italian varieties. They
commence bearing much younger—one year
grafts are often set with nuts; ripen much
earlier, which is of vast importance to the
market man; are much more productive,
and are brighter, smoother nuts, free from
fuz, which renders them more attractive and
salable. We have fruited them several
years, and they have never failed to produce
good crops, having no off years.

We are propagating them for the purpose
of setting a plantation for fruiting, and
therefore cannot furnish them in quantity at
present.

The Japan Chestnuts, like the Spanish,
have a bitter skin, which should be removed

before eating raw, when the kernel beneath
will be sweet and good, or the bitterness of
the skin will disappear by cooking. Seed-
lings grown from these darge selected nuts
seldom fail to produce large fine nuts at three
or four years of age.

JAPAN GIANT “ Pa 25.7’ —In
offering FAPAN CHESTNUTS, both
Parry’s and Pedigree, we wish to im-
press upon our customers the advantage of
the particular strain of varieties we are
propagating over those generally offered,
which, as a rule, are imported. Our strain
of JAPAN GIANT, Parry’s, is worked
by us direct from the genuine Giant tree,
and can be depended on to produce the
genuine Giant nuts, while the Jmported
Grafted Fapan Giant are such as are generally
offered, and which we quote at less rates,
and to distinguish them we have styled ours as

FAPAN GIANT—-‘“ PARRY’S,” the
largest nuts known.
Our Pedigree Japan Mammoth are

grown from selected seed of the genuine
‘* Parry” Fapan Giant, and also produce
nuts of immense size, and should not be con-
founded with what are generally offered as
Yapan Chestnut. Therefore, for the best
results, be careful to order Fapan Giant—
“Parry's,” or Pedigree Fapan Mammoth, if
such are wanted,

exception to find an imperfect or defective
nut, nearly every one being very large, two
inches across, full and plump, bright and free
from fuzz. Very valuable market sort.

JAPAN WALNUT,—This species is found
growing wild in the mountains of northern
Japan, and is, without doubt, as hardy as an
oak. The leaves are of immense size, and of
a charming shade of green. The nuts, which
are produced in extreme abundance, grow
in clusters of fifteen or twenty; have a shell
thicker than the English walnut, but not so
thick as the black walnut. The meat is
sweet ; of the very best quality ; flavor like
butternut, but less oily, and much superior,
The trees grow with great vigor, assuming a
very handsome form, and need no’ pruning ;
mature early ; bear young, and are more reg-
ular and productive than the English walnut ;
having an abundance of fibrous roots it trans-
plants as safely as an apple tree. No tree on
my grounds hasattracted more attention than
the Japan Walnut.

PRAEPARTURIENS.—This is of the ap-
pearance and character of English or Ma-

and transplants readily—very prolific, pro-
ducing nuts in clusters and comes to fruiting

very young. Jt puts out leaves and blossoms
late in spring and is therefore especially de-
sirable for sections sulject to late frosts.
The nut is larger than the ordinary varie-
ties ; the kernel full, plump, meaty ; sweeter,
richer in oils and of finer flavor. The shell
is thin but not tender like some ‘‘paper

THE DWARF JUNEBERRY is of easy
culture, and is a good substitute for the
Swamp Huckleberry, which it resembles in
appearance and quality. The fruit is borne in

usters, as shown in the engraving, reddish
oe in color, changing to bluish black. In

vor it is of a mild, rich sub-acid, excellent
as a dessert fruit or canned. It is extremely
hardy, enduring the cold of the far North and
the heat of summer without injury.

In habit it is similar to the currant, the
bushes attaining the same size, and are liter-
ally covered with fruit in June. The blos-
soms are quite large, are composed of fine
white petals, which, with its bright, glossy,
dark green foliage, renders it one of the
handsomest ornamental shrubs.

ZBUFTFALO BERRY.

BUFFALO BERRY.—AN IRONCLAD
FRuIT for the frozen North and the burning
South. A fruit for Everybody. EvEry-
WHERE a great novelty and most decided
acquisition, It is a tree-like shrub, attaining
a height of 10 feet when well grown; of
compact, symmetrical habit. Leaves numer-
ous and silvery white: it would be an
ornament in any yard for its foliage alone,
but when laden with its dense, rich clusters
of crimson fruit from early summer, through
the fall and entire winter, it is a sight to be
remembered with pleasure. As the male and
female blossoms are borne on different plants,
they should be planted in clusters of three or
more for best results. The fruit is round,
smooth and glossy, resembling in size, form
and color the cultivated red currant. Our
illustration shows a cluster, watural size.
The fruit forms in clusters TO THE VERY
TIPS OF THE BRANCHES. It is a constant
and prolific bearer, ENTIRELY HARDY, having
endured 60 DEGREES BELOW ZERO, AND
BORNE FRUIT THE FOLLOWING SUMMER.
Before being touched by frost it is very acid ;
freezing subdues it, until it becomes so rich
and palatable that as a dessert fruit in mid-
winter it is without a rival, while for jellies
it is claimed by epicures to equal in flavor
the famous GUAVA JELLIES. Such is the
BUFFALO BERRY, Shepherdia Argentea. It

s a near relative to Zleagnus Longipes, and
as regards quality, the Aural New Yorker,
(which is, without doubt, the most critical
horticultural journal in the country,) under
date of Dec. 6, 1890, has this to say :

‘Unquestionably the Shepherdia is well
worthy of cultivation for its fruit alone,
which is superior to that of Eleagnus.”

THE JAPANESE
WINEBERRY.

There have been few novelties
introduced in this country that are
more interesting or beautiful in
their way than the Japanese Rasp-
berry, brought out recently under
the name of Wineberry. It origi-
nated from seed sent home by
Prof. Georgeson, late of the Im-
perial College of Agriculture,
Tokio, Japan, and gathered by
him from a plant growing in a
wild state on the mountains of that
country. The canes of this inter-
esting plant are large, robust and
entirely hardy here; they are
thickly covered with purplish red
hairs, which extend along the stem
to the extremity. The leaves are
large, tough, dark green above and
silvery grey beneath. Each berry
is at first tightly enveloped by the
large calyx, forming asort of burr,
which is also covered with purplish
red hairs so thickly as to present
the appearance of a moss rosebud.
These gradually open and turn
back, exposing the fruit in all its
beauty. The berries are of med-
ium size as compared with our
raspberries, but of a beautiful,
translucent appearance, running
through all the shades of amber to
crimson as they ripen. Thereisa
freshness and brilliancy about them
impossible to describe and we
know of nothing in the way of raspberries so
attractive. A bushin full fruiting is a sight
not readily to be forgotten and a decided or-
nament to the garden. In quality it is good,
with a rich and sprightly flavor, but decided-
ly brisk sub-acid. When cooked it is simply

sauce. This fruit has been a Mees
grown and highly prized in an
amateur way for a number of
years, but not until re-
cently has its great value as a
garden or market fruit been rec-
ognized. We anticipate for
this rare and valuable new fruit
an immense demand, as soon as
its great merits become known
to the public.

Extract from Wm. Falconer
in Rural New Yorker: The
Shrub Eleagnus Longipesis one
ef my special favorites. I have grown it for
years and the longer I know it the better I
like it. It is a native of Japan and belongs to
the olive family of plants, and is perfectly
hardy. As a garden shrub it grows to a
height of five feet or more, is bushy and broad
and thrifty ; plants begin to fruit when two or
three years old. The leaves are oval, oblong,
green above, silvery beneath, and last in good
condition all summer long, and are never
disfigured by insect vermin. The flowers are
small, silvery yellow and borne in great
abundance, and in full bloom about the 6th to

10th ot May. The fruit is oval, five-eighths
of an inch or more long, very fleshy and juicy,
bright red and drooping, on slender pedicels
on the underside of the twigs, and borne in
immense profusion. It is ripe about July 4th
to 10th. We use the fruit for sauce as one
would cranberries, and a delicious sauce it
makes, especially for children ; indeed, I like
it so well that I have planted it in our fruit
garden as a standard crop, as one would
currants. Price, mail or express, 20 cents

each ; $2.00 per dozen, $10.00 per 100.

STRAWBERRIES.

(See page 36 for prices.)

We can supply strawberry plants during
August at the rate per dozen; during September
at dozen and 100 rates ; in the Fall, after Oc-
tober 15th, during November, and in the
Spring at dozen, 100 and 1,000 rates. No
plants furnished at 1,000 rates in the fall,
until after October 15th. The prices herein
named are for layer plants. By giving us two
weeks’ notice, we can furnish pot-grown plants
during August, September and October, at
additional cost of 25 cents per dozen ; $1.50
per 100.

Strawberry plants at the dozen rates will
be mailed free; at the 100 rate add 25 cents
per 100 to cover postage, packing, &c.

Send for special prices for large quantities of
Strawberry plants.

We endeavor to handle our plants in the very
best manner. They are carefully cleaned, the

roots straightened and neatly tied in bunches
of fifty each. In furnishing orders we take up
the beds solid, and the purchaser receives the
strongest and best plants made during the sea-
son of growth. These are worth much more
than plants dug from the alleys, which are the
last efforts of the runners, and are apt to be
small and weak.

Among the best early varieties we would
name ‘The Leader,” Lovett’s Early,
Miches Early, Bomba, Parry, Crescent,
Bubach and Van Deman.

Medium—Shuster’s Gem, Lida, Cumberland
Triumph, Sharpless, Henderson, Jessie. °

BRANDYWINE STRAWBERRY, — Ex-
tracts from Rural New Yorker: The Brandy-
wine is of immense size and fine quality—
quite firm and shapely for so large a berry.
Foliage of the largest and thriftiest, entirely
free from scald or blemish. The average size
is as large as any ever raised and the shape is

“more uniformly good than that of any other
of the largest varieties. It is generally heart-
shaped, medium red, flesh red, firm and solid
for so large a berry—none more so ; quality,
fully as good as Sharpless ; exceedingly pro-
lific. The best berry in our collection of this
season up to date. Foliage perfect and con-

tinues a long time in fruit.

THE LEADER.

THE LEADER Strawberry is an ex-
ceedingly early, very large berry, of
crimson color and very productive.
Firm, a good shipper, and of good
quality. A very strong staminate va-
riety and good grower, with clean,
healthy foliage.

”

GREENVILLE has proven to be one
of the best among 150 varieties fruited
at the Missouri Agricultural Experi-
ment Station, The Crescent is the
only one equalling it in productive-
ness, while but two exceeded it in size.
A good grower, with no inclination to
rust.

TIMBRELL.—Plant is a vigorous
grower and very prolific ; berries large
and in quality of flavor have no equal ;
very late. C. S. CARMAN, of Rural
New Yorker, says: ‘‘As judged by
me Timbrell is the best berry, all
things considered, I have ever tried.
Were I confined to but one berry it
would be Timbrell.”

Among the best Strawberries brought to notice the past season are the Mary and H. W.
Beecher, New Jersey Seedings, produced by the veteran horticulturist, H. H. Alley, and are
the best from among over three thousand seedlings from crosses of the best varieties in culti-
vation. They are strong growers with an abundance of clean, healthy foliage. Very pro-
ductive, of very large, rich, firm fruit of very high quality. Don’t fail to try 1 dozen of each.

RASPBERRIES.

Raspberries will be sent by mail at dozen rates, free of postage; by mail at 100 rates, if
25 cents for 50 plants, or 40 cents for 100 plants be added to the price.

COLUMBIAN—A most vigorous grower ;
canes 10 to 15 feet in length and often over an
inch in diameter ; strong and woody, its roots
spreading and penetrate the soil to a great
depth, thus enabling it to resist drought. It
propagates from the tips and never suckers
from the roots. It is very hardy, enduring
28 degrees below zero without injury. Fruit,
very large, often an inch in diameter; color,
dark red, bordering on purple ; adheres firmly
to the stem and will dry on the bush if not
picked ; of rich, sprightly flavor, the best for
canning or evaporating and probably the most
productive of all Raspberries.

Price, mail or express, 50c. each; $5.00
per doz.; $30.00 per 100.

MILLER’S E. RED has been grown and
fruited largely for the past ten years and is no
untried novelty. The bush is a stout, healthy,
vigorous grower, not quite so tall as Cuth-
bert, rather more stocky and dwarf, and is
well calcuiated to hold up the immense crops

_ of large, lucious berries with which it is
loaded. It is very hardy, remaining unhurt
when Cuthbert and Thompson, in same field,
were badly winter killed. Berry is as large
as Cuthbert, holding its size unlil the end of
the season; round in shape; color, bright

red ; does not fade, but will hold its color
after shipment longer than any other red
variety ; core, very small, does not crumble
and is the firmest and best shipping berry in
existence. Rich flavor and good quality.
Time of ripening is with the earliest and con-
tinues until the end of Raspberry season.

Price, mail or express, 50c. each; $4.00
per doz.; $10 per‘100.

“ROYAL CHURCH” Raspberry. — A
very large, strong growing cane of the Cuth-
bert type, thorns few and small, canes perfect-
ly hardy. Continues in bearing three or four
weeks, is very productive, over 150 berries
having been counted on a single branch. The
size of berries is seven-eights to fifteen-six-
teenths of an inch in diameter ; 100 berries
weigh 11 ounces, There are no small berries
on the bushes. They are ali of a uniform
large size, with very few seeds. Flavor deli-
cious, aromatic and sprightly. It outsells
other varieties in the market. Excellent for
canning or jellies, jams, &c.; berries do not
crumble in picking. Rip~ens earlier than Cuth-
bert, larger, more productive and better qual-
ity. Combining to a remarkable degree the
large size and superior qualities of the best
foreign varieties, with the vigor, hardiness and

ee

productiveness of our native sorts, we have
indeed a “ps Raspberry.

Bevis’

Belongs to the Raspberry family ; is of strong,
vigorous canes, branched in tree form, with
fruit nicely distributed throughout their en-
tirelength. It luxuriates in the mountainous
regions of Japan, and is claimed will endure
the extreme cold of this country, and on ac-
count of the deep, searching system of its
roots and the luxuriant foliage, it to be
adapted to the hot summers and scorching
climate of our Southern States, making it a
valuable addition to our list of fruits where the
Raspberry does not succeed, and in sections
where the Raspberry is grown, the Mayberry
will not conflict, as it ripens so much earlier.
Fruit is large, nearly round and generally a
beautiful, tempting golden color, though some-
times they may be red. Price, mail or ex-
press, 25c. each ; $2.50 per doz.; $15 per 100.

Raspberry, and described by the introducer as
the most remarkable of all fruit novelties ever
introduced. It grows in sturdy tree form six
to eight feet high and ripens its fruits before
Strawberries and a month before the earliest
Raspberries. The bushes are distinct from
other berries, with spreading tree like tops,
large, bell-shape, pendulous blossoms which
hang along the entire length of the branches
in pairs or triplets. These large handsome
blossoms are followed by great glossy berries,
which are of a golden yellow color, and in
quality, sweet and luscious beyond descrip-
tion, Its earliness makes it the most impor-
tan of all fruits.

RUBUS—Sorbifolius

(Strawberry-Raspberry.)

Is a Japan variety of the Raspberry or Black-
berry family but little known in this country.

From description of our correspondent in
Japan, upon whose high recommendation we
have procured a stock of plants, it is of strong,
robust, upright, spreading habit, similar to the
Raspberry, hardy and productive of large,
handsome, luscious fruits, resembling in size
and form the Strawberry ; red in color and of
sprightly sub-acid pleasant flavor; excellent
for sauce orjams, or very good as a dessert fruit,
ripening with the Raspberry. That this nov-
elty may be thoroughly tested, we have
placed it at the moderate price of 5Qc. each ;
3 for $1, by mail, postpaid.

THE LOGAN BERRY

(Raspberry-Blackberry.)

This is a decided novelty, and at same time
if it succeeds generally as well as at its place
of nativity, it will be a valuable addition to
our fruits. It is a seedling from the Aughin-
baugh Blackberry, a wild variety, pistillate, of
California, crossed or fertilized by polen of
the Red Antwerp Raspberry.

The plants are described as unlike either
the Raspberry or Blackberry, and are of low
growing habit more like the Dewberry, of
very large strong canes or vines, without
thorns, but have very fine soft spines like
those found on Raspberry plants ; leaves of
deep green color, coarse and thick, more like
those of the Raspberry than Blackberry.
The fruit is as large as the largest size Black-

berry, is of the same shape, with globules
similar to that fruit; color, when fully ripe, a
dark bright red. It partakes of both the
flavors of the Raspberry and Blackberry, being
a combination of the two mixed, a very pleas-
ant, mild, vinous flavor delightful to the taste,
not found in any other fruit, but peculiar to
this alone. It is excellent for the table, eaten
fresh or cooked, and for jelly or jams without
an equal.

The fruit is firm and carries well, seed small
and few. The vines are enormous bearers.
Ripening very ear)y—beginning with Straw-
berries and the bulk or nearly all ripe and
gone before Raspberries become plentiful, ren-
dering it a very valuable fruit for market.
Stock very limited.

LOVETT’S BEST BLACKBERRY.

THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE AGRI-
CULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION,
STATE COLLEGE, Pa., AuGuST 9th, 1892.

‘*The Blackberry which you now call
LOVETT’S BEST is now in its prime of
yield for this season. The plants are remark-
able for hardiness and vigor and are free
from rust. The berry is large, mostly glob-
ular. The drupes composing the berry are
large, quite firm though juicy. The flavor
should be described as rather sweet than sour.
This will prove a more desirable berry than

many of the older standard sorts for either
home or market purposes. The crop is heavy
but not yet completed.”

Very truly, Gro. C. BUTz,

Another year confirms the fact that in this
we have what has been badly needed for a
long time, namely: A thoroughly reliable
Blackberry of large size, with a cane of iron-
clad hardiness. Lovett’s Best unites not only
these two invaluable properties in an eminent
degree but possesses in addition the merits of
ripening early, great productiveness, entire

freedom from disease and double or rose blos-
som, strong, vigorous growth of cane, extra
high quality, jet black permanent color, and
fine appearance.

Either for profiable market growing or for
the home garden, it is without an equal. It
has now been fruited in almost every State in
the Union and its hardiness and other valu-
able properties conclusively proved by practi-
cal field tests. In order to give it wide dis-
semination quickly we have reduced the price
of (strong root-cutting) plants to $1.00 per
dozen ; $5.00 per 100 ; $40.00 per 1,000.

ELDORADO BLACKBERRY is described
as a very vigorous grower, free from mildew,
rust or double blossom, enormously produc-
tive, even hardier than Snyder; fruit large to
very large, excellent quality, free from core.

It originated in Ohio, and has been tested
at many of the experiment stations, several
States, andin Canada. It has been exposed
to very low temperature, and has never been
winter killed in the least, always producing
an immense crop of the most delicious fruit,
ripening with the early varieties.

ductive; strong grower, free from disease,

MAXWELL’S EARLY.—It would be diffi-
cult to overestimate the value of a blackberry
as large or larger than Wilson's Early and
ripening as early as Zarly Harvest, and this is
claimed for Maxwell’s Early.—Very large,
sweet, rich, luscious, melting in your mouth ;
no core whatever; very productive; ripens
before strawberries are gone, or at same time
with Lucretia Dewberry and Early Harvest
Blackberry, and is three times as large as the
latter. Bush a low, strong, stocky grower,
free from rust, double blossom or other dis-
ease.

Fruit growers will appreciate the immense
value of a blackberry, healthy, free from dis-
ease and double blossom, as large as Wilson’s
Early and ripening with Early Harvest.
Such is Maxwell’s Early, and it will be ex-
tensively planted as soon as plants can be
produced.

Price, 15 cts. each ; $1.00 per doz.; $7.50
per 100; $50.00 per 1,000.

OHMER BLACKBERRY.—Originated by
N. Ohmer, of Ohio, the originator of the
Gregg Raspberry, which is better known, has
been planted more extensively and with
greater profit than any other black Rasp-
be

N. Ohmer has been probably the most
extensive and successful small fruit grower of
Ohio, and for him to disseminate this new
blackberry, bearing his own name, is evidence
of his high appreciation of it and a guarantee
of its merit.

He describes it as hardy, healthful, very

large; ripening after raspberries are gone
and lasting until late in August, when prices
are up. Excellent quality, firm, no core,
and sweet before soft or fully ripe.

Five Points of Merit.

Hardiness.—As hardy as any good
blackberry,

Large Size.—As large as the largest.

Productiveness.—ltis immenselypro-
ductive,

Quality ,—It is the most delicious of all
blackberries.

Late.—Ripening with the Taylor, and
sells at higher prices. It is a very strong,
sturdy grower, and has just passed through
sixteen degrees below zero uninjured.

Price, 15 cents each; $1.00 per dozen ;
$7.50 per 100 ; $50.00 per 1,000.

LUCRETIA DEWBERRY. Claimed to be
the best of the Blackberry family, As hardy
as Snyder; as productiveas any. ‘The berries
are far larger, and incomparably better than
any Blackberry, and of unequalled excellence
—soft, sweet and luscious throughout; of
brightest, glossy black color. The Lucretia
Dewberry has received the endorsement and
highest praise from the best horticulturists in
the country. Its eminent success in all soils,
from Maine to California, from Minnesota to
Florida, is something phenomenal in small
fruit culture. Its trailing habit renders it less
liable to winter-kill.

ALBINO WHITE DEWBERRY.— This
new berry originated in Texas and is claimed
to be perfectly hardy in any part of the
United States or Canada. It is an entirely
distinct variety and differs from all dewber-
ries in the shape and appearance of the leaf,
which is smaller, more finely cut, and of the
most lustrous shining green color. But the
greatest peculiarity i is in its great productive-
ness, large size and extra fine quality of the
fruit. The originator writes: ‘*‘The new
White Dewberry is a wonderful bearer ; it
will yield fully three times as much to the
vine as any other. They are very large,
sweet and delicious, without any hard core
in the centre.” Price, mail or express, 10c.

$25.00 per 1000.

COLUMBIAN is claimed to be the largest
grape ever placed on the market, and forms
large, compact clusters. It is an exellent
table grape and excels all others for jelly.

Vine a strong grower, free from mildew ;
enormously productive of handsome clus-
ters of immense grapes; black in color;
ripening medium season.

WOODRUFF RED GRAPE.—This very
large and handsome grape is a seedling of
Concord, originated with C. H. Woodruff,
Ann Arbor, Mich., in 1874. The vine is a
very strong grower, free from disease, and
very hardy, never having been injured by the
cold in the slightest, without any protection
in winter, though the thermometer has
reached 20 degrees below zero very often
since its production. Bunch large, shouldered;
berry very large and does not drop from stem.
Exceedingly showy and has taken first prem-
ium over all competing varieties wherever
shown. Its large size, both in bunch and
berry, bright color and general attractiveness,
make it especially valuable for market, it be-
ing sold in the Ann Arbor market for three
times what Concords were selling at.

_ AILANTHUS, or Tree of Heaven, a very handsome ornamental tree, having been
introduced in this country from China many years ago, yet it is unknown in many parts.
It is a very rapid grower, perfectly hardy in all parts, succeeding in all soils and growing six
to ten feet high with very stout stem the first summer, with magnificent leaves five to six feet
long, giving a good tropical appearance. In China it is known as the Tree of Heaven, a name
suggested by its majestic form and great beauty. The trees grow to a good height and bear in
great profusion large panacles of bloom.

DOGWOOD—Cornts.

Description by F. T. Lovett.

‘¢ The Queen of Ornamental Trees
indeed. No other possesses so many
virtues or isso nearly faultless. Thrice
blessed is the FLOWERING CORNEL,
(even of perpetual though changing
beauty, ) for in early spring its galaxy
of blossoms equals the finest Magnolia ;
in autumn, its foliage, almost dazzling
in its brilliancy, surpasses the Scarlet
Oak or Maple, while in winter its clus-
ters of bright vermillion berries add a
charm and cheerfulness not otherwise
to be obtained. Tocomplete the circle
of the year, in summer its dense, hand-
some foliage affords always a perfect
shade. Large enough in habit to be
effective upon the largest lawn (speci-
mens occasionally attaining a height of
thirty feet) and yet small enough for
grounds of the most limited dimen-
sions, as by pruning it can be kept into
almost a bush. Hardy everywhere,
from Canada to the Gulf, from the At-
lantic to the Pacific—for no matter
how hot or how cold it never yields to
the vicissitudes of climate or weather

CORNUS FLORIDA.

POMONA

Flourishes upon all kinds of soils and in all
situations, wet or dry, upon hillside, among
rocks, by streams or upon the level lawn ; in
rich loam, cold clay or poor sand. It is
truly democratic, purely American.”

WHITE FLOWERING. (Cornus florida).
—Mr. F. J. Scott, in his Suburban Home
Grounds, thus speaks of it: ‘‘It is remark-
able for the size and showiness of its white
blossoms, which make their appearance in
April, before the leaves, and cover the tree
like immense snowflakes. They are two to
three inches in diameter. Those who have
been familiar with it only in the woods can
form but a poor idea of its beauty when grown
in rich soil and open exposure. In such
places it is not only superb in its April crown
of white blossoms and its mass of summer
leaves, but in autumn its foliage, turning to a
deep red, makes the tree a brilliant com-
panion to the varied-hued Maples, the golden
Sassafras, the scarlet Oak and the glowing
bronze of the Liquidamber. The fruit is scar-
let.” Adding that trees should be obtained
from a nursery as those taken from the woods
rarely grow well or become well formed trees.

Price, by mail or express, 14 to 2 feet, 25
cents ; by express, 3 to 4 feet, 50 cents.

RED FLOWERING. (C. /. ruéra).—This
is simply a great and grand improvement upon
the otherwise unrivalled White Flowering
variety. It possesses the same freedom of
flowering, producing what might be termed a
drift of bloom of @ bright, fresh and cheerful
rosy red. In habit it is more upright ; the
foliage larger, somewhat more velvety, darker
green in summer, and even richer and more
wonderful in the brilliancy of its autumn
crimson, The fruit or berries are the same
as those of the species.

Parsons says of it: ‘*Flowers suffused
with bright-red color, lasting long, * * *
a fresh pronounced red, continuing with the
flowers from the beginning to the end of its
bloom. Planted with the white variety the
effect is unrivalled.”

Meehan says: ‘*‘Of the most beautiful
rosy pink color, bordering on red. A grow-
ing plant before me also shows the leaves to
have a rich velvety appearance and to be
darker than the white variety. * * * *
That this is undoubtedly a grand acquisition
to the list of ornamental flowering trees, no
one will doubt after seeing it in bloom.”

Price, by express, 2 to 3 ft, 50 cents;
3 to 4 ft, $1.00.

WEEPING (C. f/. pendula).—A weeping
form of the white flowering variety, and un-
like that of any other weeping tree. It pos-
sesses the properties of the species in early
and prof usebloom, brilliant autumn foliage
and attractive fruit in winter.

The Editor of the Canadian Horticulturist
describes it thus : ‘‘It is a variety of the white
Cornus (C. florida) which is common in rocky

NURSERIES. 45

woods southward. A tree which only attains
a height of twenty or thirty feet, and which
is also a very attractive Ornamental Tree,
with showy white flowers in spring and clus-
ters of red berries in autumn, The Weeping
Cornus is similar in flower and fruit. The
so-called flowers are in reality close heads of
flowers, Surrounded by a four-leaved corolla-
like involucre, the whole somewhat resem-
bling a clematis flower. The tree is unique
among Weepers in one respect ; that is, in
having a perfectly upright leader, from which
the opposite pendulous branches curve down-
ward most gracefully of their own accord.”

Price, by express, 24 to 3 feet, $1.00. ™

CORNUS—Spaethii Var. Aurea.— One
of the finest variegated shrubs of rapid
growth. The leaves are broadly margined
with ‘pale yellow, while some are entirely yel-
low, making with the preceding a beautiful
contrast and handsome collection or conspicu-
ous if planted singly. Price, 1 to 2 feet, mail
or express, 50 cents each.

BEECH.

Purple.—A native of Germany, an ele-
gant, vigorous tree, growing to 40 or 50
feet, or can be shdrn and kept in compact
ball, Foliage in spring is deep purple, and
later in season changes to crimson. Very

2 feet, 25 cents; by express, 2'to 3 feet, 35
cents; 3 to 5 feet, 50c. each.

BIRCH.

Cut Leaf Weeping.—Tall, slender, grace-
ful drooping branches, silvery white bark and
delicately cut foliage. Conspicuous and de-
sirable. Price, 50 cents each ; $5.00 per
dozen.

White.—Handsome tree with white bark,
8 to 10 feet, 35 cents each ; $20 per 100;
6 to 8 feet, 25 cents each; $15 per 100.

CATALPA

Is a rapid-growing tree of tropical appear-

ance, flowering in July. Their blossoms are

large, very showy and quite fragrant ; leaves

very large, heart-shaped, yellowish green.
Speciosa.—A magnificent variety ; very

hardy ; blooming very young ; very desirable.

coloring in the Spring, when they shoot, as
well as in Autumn before they fall.

THE HARDY CHINESE MAT-
RIMONY VINE,— Zyctum Chi-
nense.—As described by Peter Hen-
derson: The old-fashioned Matri-
mony Vine was a general favorite
more than years ago, but in
beauty of dows: fruit and foliage
it cannot compare with this superb
variety. It is a most vigorous
hardy climbing plant when train-
ed to an arbor, fastened to a fence,
attached to a tree, to the side of a
house, the pillars of a piazza, or in
any location, where a hardy vigor-
ous climber is desired. It sends
out numerous side branches, so that
it covers a great amount of space
in a short time, and every new
growth is at once covered with
bright purple flowers which are
succeeded by brilliant scarlet ber-
ries nearly an inch long, every
branch being loaded with them ;
the contrast between the glossy,
dark green foliage and shining scar-
let fruit is extremely beautiful, sur-
passing Holly in appearance. It
continues flowering and new berries
are forming from late spring until
frost. The berries ripen in early
autumn and remain on the vine late
into the winter. The number of
our hardy vines which can be grown
without danger from frost in our
Northern States is limited, and
none are more beautiful than this
or as easy of culture. It will grow

and thrive in any situation, eithér shade or bright sunlight, and will take root in any soil; in
fact, nature has given it all the essentials for wide popularity. Valuable as it is for covering
fences, etc., it is even more desirable for clambering over stone walls, bare rocks or unsightly
banks, covering them quickly with bright green foliage, and later on rendering them cbjects
of beauty with their wealth of scarlet berries and purple flowers. This splendid vine was illus-
trated and highly recommended in ‘‘ Garden and Forest,” one of the most conservative pub-
lications in the horticultural press.

7%: NELUMBIUM BPECIOSUM,

NELUMBIUMS OR
SACRED LOTUS.

There is, perhaps, no flower
that blooms on the face of the
earth, at least none that can be
grown in this northern latitude,
that is so magnificent and beau-
tifulas the Nelumbiums. From
time immemorial it has remain-
ed undisputed Queen among
the flowery Kingdom. In all
heathendom it is worshipped
and considered by them to be
the goddess among flowers, and
for that reason it is called sa-
— cred, In Egypt it is believed
ms that the seeds have medicinal
qualities and on their feast day
eat them, either raw or roasted
y in the coals. When the river
Nile is rising the inhabitants
gather Lotus flowers and scat-
ter them on the water, suppos-
ing by this that the river will
rise to the desired height, sin
the next season will be
abundant harvest,

POMONA NURSERIES.

~NELUMBIUM SPECIOSUM—Egyptian
Lotus.—In ancient times this Lotus was cul-
tivated in Egypt and the seed known as the
‘¢Sacred Bean.’’ It was Cleopatra’s favorite
flower. The color is pink. The base of the
petals is white, and most beautifully and
delicately shaded off toward the end into
bright pink. No one can form an idea of
how handsomely the white and pink are
blended together until they have seen one of
these gorgeous blossoms, frequently a foot
across, and borne on strong stalks six feet
high. The first day they open like a gigan-
tic tulip and emit a delightful fragrance and
continue to expand until they measure from
8 to 12 inches across. The leaves are also

oO
~2

immense and handsome, measuring from 1 to
2 feet in diameter.

Price, by mail or express, 50 cts. each ;
$5.00 per dozen. Ready for delivery in
May.

NELUMBIUM LUTEUM—-American
Lotus.—Although a native of America, is
very rare and but little known. Plant, the
same character of growth as the Egyptian,
though not so strong; bloom and leaves not
quite so large. Flowers of a charming shade

of yellow. Price, mail or express, 50 cts.
each ; $5.00 per dozen. Ready for delivery
in May.

NYMPH/EA ODERATA--Common Pond
Lily. Price, 25cts. each; $2.00 per doz.
