ping arrangements and delay expeditious handling of our goods. Even if you find it more convenient to
send one remittance to cover both your seed, plant and bulb order and your nursery order, be sure that the nursery
orders are sent on a separate sheet from orders for other goods.

A WORD ABOUT PLANTING

Most of the failures experienced in the planting of trees, shrubs, ete., result from a want of knowledge of condi-
tions necessary to success, or from a careless disregard of them. We are interested in the success of every article
we send out; we take the greatest pains to place every item in the hands of our customer in the best possible condi- |
tion, and in order to furnish some precaution, which our experience suggests, we give a few hints on such points _

as are most essential.

Trimming Trees.—lIt is surprising how many trees
you see planted and left with the full amount of limbs
on, just as they came from the Nursery. The following
suggestions may help you trim the roots and tops cor-
rectly. Cut off all bruised roots with a smooth cut on
a slant that leaves the face down. After the tree has
been planted, trim off altogether such limbs as are
crooked and ill-shaped close to the trunk. Other
limbs that you want to save to form the head of the
tree, cut back to within six buds of the trunk. If the
tree has a center leader, it will put out a second story
of limbs and in this way you will get more fruit-bearing
wood. There are two ways of forming the head of
a tree, making a high head by cutting off all the lower
branches and forming the head as high on the trunk
as possible; and the low-headed way leaving the lower
branches on and cutting outthecenter branches, opening
up the head and forming the tree with a short trunk,
with the greater part of the limbs close to the ground.
This low-headed style has been growing in popularity
for some time, and has been found a very satisfactory
way to form a tree for the home garden, as the fruit
is so easily picked.

How to Take Care of Trees on Arrival.—If not
ready to plant when trees arrive, unpack them, but
do not leave the roots exposed to freezing temperature.
Dig a trench in some high, dry ground and heel-in
covering the roots with earth, followed directly with
plenty of water around the tree. Leave them in the
trenches until you are ready to set them out. If frozen

on arrival, leave in the box or bale and place in a cellar

or in a cool dark room that is free from frest, and let
them remain until frost has disappeared. Do not
expose frozen trees to heat, light or air.
plants frozen solid will not be injured if handled in

this way. If the roots and packing are dried up when ©

received, bury them in earth, or place in water from ten
to twenty hours.

Planting.—Make the holes large enough to admit —
the roots without any cramping or bending, and deep ~
enough to bring the tree to its natural depth. The fine ©

surface soil should be used in covering the roots ‘and
should be carefully worked among them. If the ground

Trees or

oe UO ee

(eis

ET RE RINE

is dry, pour in some water when the hole is partially _

filled. See that the ground is firmly and solidly packed

over all parts of the roots by exerting the full weight ©

of the planter upon it. Omission to pack the earth
solidly around the roots is a frequent cause of failure
in planting Nursery Stock. Always remove the label
when planting. Do not put manure in contact with
the roots, for it burns them.

After Culture.—Grass should not be allowed to
grow around your trees or plants. The ground should
be cultivated for a space at least one foot outside the
roots. The trees should be pruned regularly each
spring, cutting out old dead limbs and shaping the
tree to the form the planter wishes it. If this is done
regularly each season, the removal of large branches
will be avoided.

PLANTS BY PARCEL POST

Plants of all kinds are now admitted to the mails at regular Parcel-Post rates.

Plants vary so much in weight it is impossible to give the exact weight of any order until it is actually packed.
We are, therefore, giving the approximate weight of the different species of plants, etc., and the Parcel-Post rates

for the different zones. After making up your order you can easily calculate the approximate weight.

You can

then ask your postmaster which zone Rochester, N. Y., is in from your post office and, with the zone rate published
below, you can easily calculate the amount of postage to send.

All postage on plants, etc., has to be prepaid, and if a sufficient amount to pay the Parcel-Post charges
is not sent with the order, the plants will be sent by express, charges collect, as we positively cannot
keep accounts and send bills for small items of postage.

Packages weighing five or six pounds or more, going west of the Mississippi River will generally cost less for

transportation by express.

Large packages can be shipped better and usually cheaper by express.

DWARF
APPLES

Dwarf apples commence bearing fruit the
second year after planting and are espe-
cially desirable for village or city gardens.
The big advantage of these dwarf trees is
that they do not attain a size any greater
than peach, plum, etc. Heretofore, city peo-
ple have been obliged to buy all their apples,
because the size of their garden plot would not
enable them to plant standard trees on ac-
count of the amount of space these standard
trees required. These dwarf trees bear when
very young and bear very abundantly. There
is no question as to the desirability of being
able to go out into your own fruit garden and

pick fruit from trees of your own growing and eat it when in the
freshest condition. These dwarf trees open up a new avenue to

the people who have gardens of a limited size.

CRAB APPLES

Include the crabs in every fruit garden. They are
delicious for cooking, preserving and jellies. In the last
few years immense orchards of crab apple have been
planted, for they are now of commercial importance on
the city markets. They are easily grown, and cheaply
picked and handled. A row of crab trees is often planted
on the exposed windy side of the orchard. They protect
the other trees and pay a profit. They are very orna-
mental and can be planted in a corner of the yard or garden.
They are beautiful when in bloom, and in fruit they are
an immense leafy cluster of little red and gold apples-

QUINCES

Succeeding nearly everywhere as it does, the consump-
tion of Quinces can easily be increased ten-fold. The de-
mand exists—it needs only to be supplied. As a fruit
for preserves, jellies and syrup, it takes a position of
first rank—the good housewife is as careful to put up a
supply of them as she is sure to lay by for the winter a
stock of Montmorency Cherries.

ROCHESTER PEACHES MORE PRODUCTIVE THAN ELBERTA

VICK’S PEACH TREES

Here are different varieties of peach trees that will give you fruit from July until the middle of October. Plant a
few trees in your yard; they take uF very little space and return you many times their value in delicious, fresh fruit.
r

No home is complete without some fruit trees.

THE ROCHESTER PEACH

The ROCHESTER is in a class by itself because it is
the only good sized yellow freestone peach, of fine quality,
ready for market in the middle of August in the North.

The fruit is large, yellow with a most attractive red
blush, juicy and delicious, and keeps well; an excellent
shipper even after much handling. Its greater sweetness
over other peaches requires only half the usual quantity
of sugar in canning; it does not rot on the trees.

The tree is a strong, symmetrical grower; a regular
bearer of big crops and absolutely hardy;—in all of
which qualities it surpasses even Elberta.

Price, XXX Grade, 5 to 6 ft., 35c each; $2.50 for ten
$22.00 per hundred.

Price, XX Grade, 4 to 5 ft., 25c each; $2.00 for ten;
$18.00 per hundred.

.

THE HALE PEACH

A mammoth peach nearly one-half larger than the
well known Elberta and as large again as Early Crawford.
In color it is a rich, deep, golden yellow overlaid with
bright carmine. ‘The flesh is very solid and of fine quality.
Has a smooth skin with practically no fuzz on it. Its
juicy, rich, sweet flavor cannot be excelled. Both for
table use and canning it is very superior. Does not r
out in the can. A wonderful keeper and ean be pane
and handled almost like apples. Ripens about a week
ahead of Elberta. Late bloomer and very hardy. Bears
fruit when very young.

Price, XXX Grade, 5 to 6 ft., 50c each; $4.50 for ten;
$35.00 per hundred.

Price, XX Grade, 4 to 5 ft., 35c each; $3.00 for ten;

the middle to end of July. Fruit is large, oval shaped,
yellowish white. Flesh is creamy-white, slightly tinted
with red, juicy and fine. Fine shipper and is freestone.

Mountain Rose.—A favorite in New Jersey where it
ripens early and grows to large size for so early a peach.
A reliable cropper. Color white with carmine cheek, in-
side creamy-white, abounding in rich, sweet juice. Con-
sidered first quality for dessert. Early August.

Yellow St. John.—A beautiful yellow peach, medium to
large in size. The skin is brilliantly flushed on the sunny
side with bright deep crimson. The flesh is yellow, ten-
der, juicy and altogether of extra fine quality. Free.
The tree is a strong grower and bears heavy crops every
season So early, this peach reaches the market at a
time when the demand for early fruit is at its height.

Belle of Georgia.—Ripens first half of August. Fruit
very large and most attractive in color and shape, with
a light red cheek; flesh white, firm and delicious; in all
ways the quality is fine. Trees grow quickly and shapely,

Champion (Freestone)—Ripens about August 10th.
An excellent, showy white peach. Fruit large, creamy-
white with beautiful red cheek. Sweet, tender, juicy, of
very high quality and a good shipper.

EARLY ELBERTA.—The Early Elberta is truly named.
It is of the Elberta type, a large, golden-yellow peach with
a rich crimson blush on the sunny side. The fruit is large,
of good shape and better color than Elberta. For canning
it has better flavor, sweeter, not requiring nearly so much
sugar and keeps firm in the can not ragging out. Early
Elberta ripens about ten days before Elberta, and along
with Crawford Early.

Crawford’s Early (Freestone)—Last of August or
beginning of September. A magnificent large yellow peach
of excellent quality. In our estimation the best flavored
and best variety for the home garden. Not as good a
shipper as Elberta, but better flavored. Most people,
when they buy peaches, ask for Crawford’s as they know
Hebe about any other varieties. Vigorous and pro-

uctive.

Fitzgerald.—Origin, Canada. Fully equal to Crawford.
Early in size, quality and color, with much smaller pit;
a very early bearer, often when two years from bud; ex-
tra hardy, succeeding in Canada and in Michigan per-
fectly; fruit large, brilliant yellow with red cheek; high-
est quality; ripens after Crawford’s Early. Freestone.

Bartlett Pears

STANDARD PEARS Na See ame

Pears do best in a strong loam, but succeed well in a variety of soils and on almost any land that will produce good
vegetables or grain. There is always a greater demand than supply of Pears of all varieties. Bartlett is, of course, the
‘leading Pear and calls for the highest price in the market. By a careful selection of varieties the Pear season can be

extended from July to February. Pear growing has been checked until lately by blight, which has affected this kind of -

tree, but this condition need not exist in the future. Dr. Waite, a practical Pear specialist, who has done much for the
industry in the West, has shown that this blight can be controlled. Bulletins on this subject may be secured from the
Department of Agriculture at Washington.

good; a splendid canning
pear. Resembles Kieffer in
vigorous growth, ripens a
month earlier, but is a hand-
somer and bettereating pear.
Sells well in any market.

Lawrence.—One of the
best and most valuable of
Winter pears. It is above
medium size, yellow color.
Flesh is yellow, tender,
juicy and melting. We |
recommend it very highly \
to those who want a Mid-
Winter variety.

Koonce.—This variety
originated in Illinois. The
tree is extremely hardy and
seldom suffers from blight.
It is a very vigorous and up-
right grower and will do well
nearly everywhere. Koonce
has been known to bear
when all other kinds were destroyed by frost. It is a sure
cropper. The fruit is golden-yellow with a bright blush;
flesh is juicy and sweet and of good quality. Its time of
ripening is July.

Kieffer.—Rivals Bartlett in popularity for commercial
orchards. Tree remarkably free from disease, vigorous
grower, wonderfully abundant and regular bearer. It has
been perhaps the most profitable variety known. Fruit
very large when thinned, bell-shaped; golden-yellow when
fully ripe; sometimes has a light blush; flesh white, crisp,
juicy, of fair quality, exceedingly valuable for cooking
and canning, which brings out its spicy flavor. October
to December. '

pale yellow with a crimson blush. The flesh is melting,
juicy, and has a delicious flavor. The tree is a very strong
grower and very hardy. Ripens in October.

Seckel.—The finest pear in cultivation and should
never be omitted from the home garden. The richest
flavored pear known. Very satisfactory as a dwarf. The
small size of the fruit is an objection in some markets,
but people are coming to know its excellent quality and
the demand is steadily growing. Color brownish-green
with reddish cheek. Tree is a good grower and bears
heavy crops annually. Season, September and October.

son is October and November.

Worden Seckel.—Originated in Oswego County, N. Y.
It is a seedling of the Seckel, and is equally as good in’
quality as that variety and more juicy, with an aroma
equally as rich and inviting, while in size, color, form and
appearance it is decidedly superior. The color is yellow,
with light red on the sunny side. The tree is very hardy
and an enormous bearer, and the fruit is ripe just after
the Seckel.

_ Vermont Beauty.—A most desirable pear. The fruit
is of medium size, very handsome, being yellow with a
bright carmine cheek. The flesh is rich, Juicy, aromatic,
of the best quality, ripens immediately after the Seckel.

Duchess—Most Popular and Best of all the Dwarf Pears

Vick’s Dwarf Pears

DWARF PEAR TREES.—For the Home Garden as well as for the Commercial Orchard the dwarf pear tree is a

great favorite.

The tree takes up but little space; the fruit equals in every way that of the standard and because the

tree is low growing it is very easy to pick. We recommend the planting of dwarf pear trees especially to our customers

who want good fruit and who cannot spare the room necessary for a large tree.
They are hardy, free from blight and very easily grown. A row of these trees

producing fruit the second or third year.

Dwarf trees come into bearing young,

planted along a fence or wall will not only act as a screen, but will give you a succession of fruit the entire season.

Duchess.—The most popular of all dwarfs and the one
most widely grown. Duchess is a great yielder and a
great money getter. The tree is hardy and thrifty and
bears uniformly big crops. It is a very early bearer,
sometimes fruiting the first season after planting. The
\ fruit is very large, frequently weighing a pound; dull

greenish-yellow, spotted with russet; flesh white, rich and

of good quality. A very valuable Pear for the home gar-
den or commercial orchard.

Bartlett.—Dwarf Pears are similar to the standard
fruit of the same variety, and are very profitable when
used as fillers for orchards. Many fruit growers plant

_ Bartlett dwarf as fillers in standard Bartlett and Anjou
orchards. In many parts of the country they are planted
as fillers in Apple orchards.

_ Clapp’s Favorite.—This is a very good dwarf variety
which is used extensively for fillers in orchards, mainly
Apple orchards. The one trouble with this pear is that
it is susceptible to blight.

Anjou.—A great money-making dwarf that should be
extensively planted. When used as a filler in orchards
of standard Anjou and Bartlett it is unexcelled; the dwarfs
will have paid for the orchard and more by the time the
standard trees are in full bearing. We recommend this
highly to our customers.

Howell.—This is an especially fine Pear when grown as
a dwarf. It is one of the finest of the American varieties.
The fruit is large, pale, waxen-yellow and often has a
bright, red cheek. The tree is a good grower and an early
bearer. We recommend the Howell on dwarf stock to our
customers who may want a good commercial dwarf Pear.

Koonce.—This Pear on dwarf stock fruits the same as
on the standard. It is an early Pear, very large in size
and has a clear golden-yellow color with a crimson blush.

The tree is hardy and vigorous and seldom blights. This
is practically a frost-proof variety.
Kieffer.—Same fruit as in the standard variety. Tree

is hardy and thrifty. Fruit is very good for canning and
is planted extensively for commercial purposes.

Seckel.—This variety is valuable, both as a standard
and dwarf. Fruit is the same on either tree. This makes
a good filler for an Apple or standard Pear orchard.

h Say Ifa man with the average size city or town lot will plant dwarf trees he can have a great yariety of fresh fruit on his table all season.

VICK’S NUT TREES

The past few years have witnessed a remarkable development in the planting of nut-bearing trees. Probably no
branch of tree cultivation pays larger profits or is as well assured of a profitable market. The immense importations ©
of foreign nuts every year give some idea of the market to be supplied. Few farms but contain land, that, if planted
to nut-bearing trees, would pay better than anything else to which it could be devoted; the nuts in many cases paying

E better than farm crops or fruits, while most
English kinds are making a growth of valuable timber,

Walnuts that will of itself pay a large per cent. on the
investment.

American Sweet Chestnut.—A well known
forest and nut-bearing tree; of great value for
ornamental purposes. 50 cts. each, $4.50 for 10.

Black Walnut.—The well known native
species; hardy, prolific and valuable; durability
of timber unexcelled. 50 cts. each, $4.50 for 10.

oily, nutritious kernel. 50 cts. each, $4.50

St. Regis
Everbearing
Raspberry —

Ripe Fruit from JUNE to NOVEMBER

ST. REGIS RASPBERRY

The only variety of Raspberry that gives a crop the first
year the plants are set out, and two crops every year
afterward.

St. Regis begins to ripen in June and continues to bear
fruit until frost. Truly an Everlasting Red Raspberry.
The berries are large, bright crimson, of the highest qual-
ity. Rich and sugary with a full, true Raspberry flavor.
Meat is solid, making the berry a fine shipper. In size of
fruit, productiveness and quality, to say nothing of its
being Everbearing, St. Regis leads all other reds.

The canes of St. Regis are stocky and of strong growth.
Plants absolutely hardy, enduring the severest cold unin-
jured. This is a great berry to plant in the Home Garden
or in the field for the market. It cannot be equaled as a
table fruit. We have some mighty fine plants this year
that will please you very much.

Price—10 cts. each, 25 cts. for 3, 75 cts. for 10, $3.50
for 100, $25.00 for 1,000.

JUNE RED RASPBERRY

Ripens in June when Berries Bring the
Highest Prices on the Market.

St. Regis or The best and most profitable Raspberry ever offered
é to the Market Grower as it ripens earlier than any
Ranere other variety. A grower says: ‘We had our first picking
June 20th, 14 days ahead of Cuthbert, and were able to
make four pickings while the market for ‘Reds’ was 15

cents per pint, by the crate.’’
Think what this means to Fruit Growers! 15 cents per pint or $9.60 per crate. Where will you find another Raspberry

that will show returns like this?

June is larger than Cuthbert and holds up in size unusually well throughout the entire season. The plants are vigor-

ous and strong growers. Canes are stocky, upright, almost smooth and very hardy. June makes but a very few suckers.

Here is what the Geneva Experimental Station of New York State, where ‘June’ originated, says about it in Bulletin
No. 364: “June has now been tested long enough in different parts of New York to fully determine its value. The yield
is heavy and well distributed over a long season, which begins the earliest of any of the seventy varieties growing at this
station. The fruit resembles Loudon in color, a bright, handsome red, and averages larger than Cuthbert but is more
spherical. June ships and holds up in size unusually well throughout the season. Last, but by no means least, June
is of high quality. We expect to see this variety become one of the most profitable red Raspberries grown.”

Order your plants early. Price, 15 cents each; 25 cts. for 2; $1.00 for 10; $5.50 for 100; $50.00 for 1,000.

Here are two mighty fine red raspberries for the Man who grows for market or for the Home Garden. You can’t go wrong on either.

foliage and very hardy. Cuthbert is one of the _
reliablé varieties that can always be depended
on to bear a good crop of berries.

Herbert.—A fairly new berry coming from
Canada. Its chief quality is its extreme hardi-
ness, and its being practically proof against dis-
eases of all kinds. The fruit is large, bright to
deep red, of fine quality and flavor. It is a very
fine market variety especially adapted to grow-
ing in localities where the winters are very cold.
Highly recommended by the Government Ex-

Marlboro.—Red. This is the standard early va-

for its firmness both on the bushes and in shipping. It
is productive of large, crimson, juicy
berries. The bush is an upright, vigor-
ous plant. It is greatly appreciated in
New Jersey. The Colorado Agricultural
Experiment Station says: ‘‘The best
red variety for Colorado.”
The Cornell station and the
Maryland station give good re-
ports of it.

“ Columbian.—Very large,
often an inch in diameter;
dark red, bordering on purple,

most productive of all raspberries. A \
most vigorous grower, canes ten to fif-
teen 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, sits es
enduring 28° below zero without injury. pera ee

Raspberries and Blackberries.

Raspberries and Blackberries
should be planted in good soil and
kept well cultivated. The old
canes should be cut out each year
early in the spring, and the new
canes pinched off when they are
three feet high. If the ground
where they are planted is at all
exposed, the plants should be well
protected by making a mound of
earth around the stalks and bend-
ing the canes over the mound
and pegging them: down during
the winter.

Black Raspberries

Plum Farmer.—The Plum Farmer Black Rasp-
berry is, in our estimation, the best early Blackcap
for home and market ever introduced. It ripens
early. Berries are very large, thick meated, juicy
and sweet. They pick very easily, and stand up
and carry well. In quality, firmness and productive-
ness, it is all that can be desired either by wholesale
growers or for the home garden.

“The plants are hardy, vigorous and productive;
the berries large, good in color and quality. It has
already been grown in some localities, and reports of
its behavior are very favorable. It certainly should
be given a trial in all commercial plantations.’’—Report
of Geneva Experimental Station.

Price—25 cts. for 3, 60 cts. for 10, $2.00 for 100, $15.00
for 1,000.

Gregs.—A late fruiting black raspberry of fine
quality. This is one of the best known late Raspberries.
It is a very good shipper and is an excellent variety for

Vick’s Strawberry Rhubarb

Rhubarb is probably the most useful and popular of all garden plants and is grown more
extensively than all others. Hardly a garden is without a few roots that easily keep
the table supplied with sauces, pies and preserves. In this Strawberry Rhubarb or Pie
Plant as it is called, we have a variety whose stalk is a beautiful Strawberry red or pink
all the way through. It is not a green variety, but a true Strawberry color. The plant is
extremely tender, fine flavored and juicy. Away ahead of other kinds for making pies
and sauces.

Plant some roots in your garden. We have some fine two-year-old stock to sell this
year that we know will please you.

Price—15 cts. each, 2 for 25 cts., 5 for 50 cts.

Plants should be set in rows four feet each way, allowing plenty of light and air.

Currants are the most profitable of smaller fruits. An acre yields from 200 to 250 bushels

For protection against the

currant worm, dust a little hellebore powder over the bushes when the leaves are damp. Do this as soon as worms appear.

Red Cross.—lt is natural to connect sourness with all
red currants, since, as a rule, red currants are exceedingly
acid, but Red Cross currant is an exception to the ordinary
rule, being the sweetest currant ever produced. We know
of no more appetizing or healthful dish than a dish of Red
Cross currants at the table to be eaten the same as straw-
berries or other sweet fruit. This qualification of sweet-
ness and palatableness has not been properly emphasized.
In making currant jellies, or in preparing currants in other
ways, remember the Red Cross currant requires only half
the sugar that many other currants require owing to its
natural sweetness and fine flavor. Prices, 15 cts. each,

$1.00 for 10, $6.50 for 100, $50.00 for 1,000.

If you wish your small fruit plants sent

appear, and repeating the operation once or twice.

to receive such plants at such prices as you have sold these. Especially
are the raspberry plants strong, well-rooted and in exceedingly good
shape, for all of which accept my hearty appreciation; but I confess I

VICK’S ORNAMENTAL TREES

More and more it is being realized that property, no matter where located, is greatly increased in value if properly
planted with shade and ornamental trees. ‘The expense is not to be compared with the added value given to the property,

and no better investment can be made.

It is a well-recognized fact that trees and hedges about farm property not only add to the beauty and comfort of
the home, but increase the monetary value of the property. Illustrations of this may be found in many localities where
well-planted property brings a considerably higher price than an adjoining place that has not been planted, yet the other

conditions are equal.

The many ways in which ornamental trees can be used make them one of the most important items in a nursery cata-

logue.

More and more are people coming to love out-door life, and with it comes a deeper admiration for trees and shrubs.

This appreciation and love of nature is usually first noted about the home grounds, and is followed by increased interest

in city street plantings and parks.

can Elm, American Ash, American Linden, Oriental Plane.

Irish Juniper

unquestionably no better way of beautifying your place than surrounding it with
beautiful Evergreens. As an ornamental tree Evergreens are unsurpassed. No
other trees remain green through summer and winter; none are more beautiful.
But while their value in this respect is great, Evergreens are most useful in other
ways. They protect houses, stock and crops, from wind, sun and snow. They
conserve the soil’s natural moisture. They form a substantial shelter and nesting
place for the birds that rid your acres of worms and destructive insects. They are
a source of salable timber for fence posts and other uses. Plant some Evergreens
around your garden and just see how much difference there is in the temperature
and moisture. You will find that you can grow flowers, fruits and vegetables that
you never could before.

These varieties have been thoroughly tested and proven absolutely hardy and
reliable and will grow successfully in all parts of the country. Send in your order
now. Shipment will be made during March, April or May—depending on locality.
