 ]N OFFERING our Catalog we 
 extend thanks to the public for 
 past courtesies, with the assur- 
 ance that in future we will 
 spare no effort i n furnishing 
 superior quality and service. 
 
 Knowing how is not an inspiration; it is 
 gained by long experience and a special 
 talent for the work. 
 
 If we have never served you, send us 
 your next order, and save the time and 
 annoyance of having your wants misun- 
 derstood. 
 
 If you are already one of our patrons, 
 you are aware of our keen interest in bring- 
 ing about orchards profitable and environ- 
 ment beautiful with our quality products 
 and by expert landscape work, and we rest 
 assured to your mind our treatment merits continued consider- 
 ation. 
 
 Our thriving organization is the outcome of expenditure and 
 enterprise. Many years of existence and acquired experience 
 enable us to fulfill our duty to patrons in the highest degree. 
 
 We offer and accept orders for only such varieties as we can 
 supply. If, when filling orders, mistakes inadvertently occur, 
 purchase money will be refunded or other stock will be furnished 
 in lieu thereof. We are ever ready to make right that which may 
 not prove just as it should be. 
 
 We aim to supply only the best of stock, and at the lowest prices consistent with 
 quality of goods offered. We believe our service in this respect is not excelled by any. 
 
 Some nurserymen are afraid t. , r w t t tvt T 
 
 of comparison. We invite it. ^ // Harman Nursevu Lo., Inc.

 Transplan ting^and After Culture 
 
 As the life and well-being of a tree depend 
 very much upon the care and treatment it re- 
 ceives after it leaves the hands of the nursery- 
 man. and as a large proportion of the trees that 
 are lost fail for want of proper treatment, the 
 following hints should be carefully heeded. 
 
 I’repai'ation of the Soil — Prepare a rich, deep 
 bed of mellow soil, and have the land suffi- 
 ciently well-drained to relieve the roots from 
 standing water. To insure a fine growth, land 
 should be in as good condition as is required 
 for a crop of wheat, corn or potatoes. 
 
 Pruning before Plaining — Nearly all the trees 
 taken from the Nursery require pruning be- 
 fore transplanting, to balance the loss of roots 
 occasioned by their removal. The tops should 
 be shortened in by cutting off half the last sea- 
 .son's growth of all the branches; but large 
 branches should not be cut off close to the trunk, 
 as it injures the vitality of the tree. 
 
 All broken or bruised 
 roots should be cut off 
 smoothly up to the sound 
 wood, so as to hasten the 
 formation of new roots 
 and fibres. 
 
 Planting — Make the 
 hole large enough to ad- 
 mit 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 this should be 
 carefully worked among 
 them. If the ground is dry, _ 
 it is well to pour in some 
 water when the hole is par- 
 tially filled. See that the - 
 ground Is firmly and solid- 
 ly packed over all parts of 
 the roots by exerting the 
 full weight of the planter 
 upon it, so there will 
 be no oiiportunity for dry 
 
 air or frost to enter and destroy roots deprived 
 of the full benefit of their natural protection. 
 Omission to pack the earth solidly is a most 
 fre<iuent cause of failure in planting nursery 
 stock. Pill the hole full enough to be even 
 with the surrounding surface after the fresh 
 earth settles. Always remove the label when 
 planting. If this is left vintil the tree is grown, 
 the connecting wire often cuts into and destroys 
 the tree or branch to which it is attached. Never 
 use manure in contact with roots. When plant- 
 ing dwarf trees set them low enough to cover 
 the stock upon which they are budded, but not 
 lower, barge standard trees should be staked 
 and tied, so the wind will not loosen the 
 roots. This should be so done that the bands 
 will not chafe the trees. 
 
 .Mulching — When trees or bushes are planted, 
 they should be mulched or covered with a layer 
 of coarse manure or litter from three to six 
 inches deep for a space of. say, two feet more 
 in diameter than the ex- 
 tent of the roots. This 
 keeps the earth about the 
 roots mokst and of even 
 temperature. 
 
 .\ftcr Culture — Grass 
 should not be allowed to 
 grow about young trees 
 or plants. The ground 
 should be cultivated for a 
 space of at least one foot 
 outside the roots. If the 
 ground is poor it should 
 be enriched with surface 
 applications of manure. 
 Pruning should be varied 
 according to the condition 
 of the tree, and the pur- 
 pose of the planter. It 
 should 1)0 done regularly 
 every Spring, before the 
 buds swell. In this way 
 the removal of large 
 branches, which often en- 
 dan.gers the life of the 
 tree, will be avoided.

 To estimate the number of plants reejuired for an acre at any given Obstance, multiply the 
 distance between the rows by the distance between the plants, which will give the number of 
 square feet alloted to each plant, and divide the number of sc[uare feet in an acre (43,560) by 
 this number, and the C)uotient will be the number of plants reciuired. 
 
 To Correspondents 
 
 1, Orders should be sent in as early as possible, that there may be plenty of time for 
 shipping long distances when necessary, 
 
 2, Buyers, ordering by mail, should list their wants plainly on a separate sheet, and not 
 in the body of the letter, and thus prevent mistakes which might otherwise occur, 
 
 3, We suggest that purchasers leave the selection of varieties with us so far as possible, 
 merely stating the proportion of Summer, Fall and Winter fruit wanted, incident to our exper- 
 ience enabling us to select such sorts as are adapted to the locality, 
 
 4, Immediate notice should be given to us of any error in filling an order, that we may at 
 once rectify the mistake or give a satisfactory explanation. 
 
 Fumigation and Inspection 
 
 Our nurseries are inspected twice each year by the State Entomologist, and are kept free 
 from insects and posts by spraying and fumigating.

 Spraying 
 
 Spraying has come to be an established part of fruit-growing. With all that has been writ- 
 ten upon the subject, the fruit grower should be competent to perform the ordinary spraying 
 of his trees without further advice. But to those who may not be familiar with the methods 
 and practice, we would say, procure a copy of Bulletin No. 101, by Prof. L. H. Bailey, from 
 the Cornell Tniversity Experiment Station, in which will be found the most important points 
 regarding sprays, arranged in such manner that the grow'er can see at a srlance what to 
 apply, w’hen and how to make the applications. 
 
 Each year the absolute necessity of proper spraying is made more manifest. There is no 
 demand for deformed, small, wormy fruit, while clean, well-grown fruit always commands a 
 good price. Such fruit cannot be grown without spraying. Spraying is not difficult. It needs 
 no expert. It is far cheaper than growing wormy fruit, and should be of as much interest to 
 the man wdth six trees as to the orchardist with six thousand trees. 
 
 Home Made Lime Sulphur* 
 
 lame. Use only fresh lump lime free from 
 dust or from partly air slaked lumps. No air 
 slaked lime should be used. The lime should 
 test not less than 90 per cent pure lime (cal- 
 cium oxide) and should contain not more than 
 5 per cent magnesium oxide. 
 
 Sulphur. Either flowers of sulphur or light 
 or heavy sulphur flour may be used. 
 
 FORMULA AND DIRECTIONS 
 
 Lump Lime (pure) M 36 pounds 
 
 Sulphur 80 pounds 
 
 Water 50 gallons 
 
 “Break the lime into rather small lumps. 
 Place in kettle, or if live steam is used, in bar- 
 rel or vat, and slake it with hot water. Make 
 a smooth paste of the sulphur with water. Add 
 this to the lime as slaking commences, and 
 mix thoroughly. When the lime is all slaked, 
 add the rest of the 50 gallons of water, and 
 enough more as needed from time to time dur- 
 ing the boiling to keep the quantity up to 50 
 gallons. When steam is used for cooking, ex- 
 tra water may not be needed. Use a measur- 
 ing stick notched at the 50 gallon mark to 
 show how much water needs to be added to 
 keep the volume up to 50 gallons. Do not let 
 it drop more than an inch below the 50 gallon 
 mark at anv time. Dash a little cold water 
 into the kettle to .stop the boiling for a mo- 
 ment while measuring. Keep well stirred to 
 l)reak up lumps and prevent caking on the sides 
 of the kettle. Boil vigorously from 45 minutes 
 to one hour, or till the sulphur is all dissolved. 
 Use a kettle of sufficient capacity to prevent 
 loss from boiling. 
 
 When through with the boiling bring the vol- 
 ume up to 50 gallons and strain it without try- 
 ing to separate it from the finer sediment which 
 passes through the seive. The coarse particles 
 which do not go through the strainer are kept 
 for later boilings.” 
 
 PREPARATION OF SELF-BOILED LIME 
 SULPHUR 
 
 The 8-8-50 formula is recommended. This 
 mixture can best be prepared in rather large 
 quantities — say enough for 200 gallons at a 
 time, making the formula 32 pounds of lime 
 and 32 pounds of sulphur to be cooked with 8 
 or 10 gallons of water, and then diluted to 200 
 gallons. 
 
 “The lime should be placed in a barrel and 
 enough water poured on to almost cover it. 
 As soon as lime begins to slake the sulphur 
 should be added first, after running it through 
 a seive to break up the lumps. The mixture 
 should be constantly stirred and more water 
 
 •Parrott & Srhoene. N. Y. State (Geneva) Bui. 330. 
 
 added as needed to form a thick paste at first, 
 and then gradually a thin paste. The lime will 
 supply enough heat to boil the mixture several 
 minutes. As soon as it is well slaked, water 
 should be added to cool the mixture and pre- 
 vent further cooking. It is then ready to be 
 strained into the spray tank, diluted and ap- 
 plied. 
 
 “The stage at which cold water should be 
 poured on to stop the cooking varies with dif- 
 ferent limes. Some limes are so sluggish in 
 slaking that it is difficult to obtain enough heat 
 from them to cook the mixture at all. while 
 other limes become intensely hot on slaking 
 and care must be taken not to allow the boiling 
 to proceed too far. If the mixture is allowed to 
 remain hot fifteen or twenty minutes after the 
 slaking is completed, the sulphur goes into solu- 
 tion, combining with the lime to form sul- 
 phides, which are injurious to peach foliage. 
 It is very important, especially with hot lime, 
 to cool the mixture quickly by addin.g a few 
 buckets of water as soon as the lumps of lime 
 have slaked down. The intense heat, violent 
 boiling and constant stirring result in a uni 
 form mixture of finely divided sulphur and 
 lime, with only a very small percentage of the 
 sulphur in solution. This mixture should be 
 strained to take out the coarse particles of 
 lime, but the sulphur should be carefully work- 
 ed through the strainer.”

 Arsenate of Lead 
 
 Arsenate of Lead 6 pounds 
 
 Water 100 gallons 
 
 It is better to purchase arsenate of lead than 
 to attempt to make it. In mixing, preparatory 
 to spraying, the amount of arsenate of lead 
 for each spray tank full should be worked into 
 a very thin paste having the appearance of 
 milk of lime. It should never be thrown as a 
 mass into the spray tank. This is a standard 
 spray for codling moth and other eating in- 
 sects. 
 
 Kerosene Emulsion 
 
 Kerosene 2 gallons 
 
 Hard Soap (whale-oil soap) % pound 
 
 Water 1 gallon 
 
 Dissolve soap in water by boiling; add hot 
 suds to the kerosene. Do not do this near a 
 fire. Agitate the mixture with a spray pump 
 so as to emulsify the oil. After five minutes 
 the mixture becomes creamy. To use, dilute 
 the above stock solution at the rate of one 
 gallon to ten gallons of water. This is a stand- 
 ard remedy for destroying green aphis, woolly 
 aphis, mealy bugs and other plant lice. It 
 may be used instead of tobacco solutions it 
 desired. 
 
 Corrosive Sublimate 
 
 (Bichloride of Mercury) 
 
 This is the standard disinfectant when work- 
 ing with PEAR BLIGHT. No other disinfect- 
 ant should be used to wash the cut surfaces or 
 to disinfect the pruning tools. 
 
 Corrosive Sublimate 1 part 
 
 Water 1000 parts 
 
 *1012 Spraying Calendar. Medford, Oregon. 
 
 Corrosive sublimate may be purchased in tab- 
 let form at drug stores and directions for mak- 
 ing solutions will be found on the container. 
 Never put corrosive sublimate into a metallic 
 container; always use a glass bottle. Be sure 
 to label the bottle “Poison" in large, plain 
 letters. It is the deadliest of poisons. 
 
 Whitewashes* 
 
 1. Government Whitewash. 
 
 Lime (unslaked) 40 pounds 
 
 Salt 15 pounds 
 
 Rice Flour (or ground rice) 3 pounds 
 
 Spanish Whiting % pound 
 
 Glue 1 pound 
 
 Water 5 gallons 
 
 Slake the lime in warm water and cover so 
 as to keep in the steam; strain through a fine 
 seive or strainer; add the salt, well dissolved 
 in warm water. Then add the rice boiled hot; 
 the Spanish Whiting; and finally the glue, 
 which has been previously dissolved over a slow 
 fire. Lastly add the five gallons of hot water. 
 Stir well and let stand for a few days. Apply 
 hot with a brush. One pint of the mixture will 
 cover a square yard. Coloring matter may be 
 put in, such as Spanish brown, yellow ochre, 
 etc. 
 
 How to Spray 
 
 Drench every part of the tree. Spray thor- 
 oughly. The most difficult places to reach 
 should receive your most careful attention. 
 Reach every crack, calyx cup, behind buds and 
 in bud scales. Do not economize on spray ma- 
 terial and sacrifice efficiency. Use a high pres- 
 sure pump. 200 pounds pressure should be 
 maintained. Spraying out of season is value- 
 less. Determine what you must spray for. Use 
 the right kind of material. 
 
 My Dear Mr. Harman; 
 
 In response to yours, just at 
 hand, I am frank to say. my 
 only regret since signing 
 contracts with you, about 
 seven years ago, has been 
 and is that I was not with 
 you throughout the many 
 years I have been engaged in 
 the Nursery business. Your 
 quality products, courteous 
 treatment of patrons and 
 myself, and being so squarely 
 back of all agreements, en- 
 thuses me to keep everlast- 
 ingly at it, and who knows 
 but I will die with my boots 
 on in your service. You 
 know I am no Spring chick- 
 en. Very sincerely,

 San Jose Scale 
 Scurfy Scale 
 Bud Moth 
 
 Efctrs of Apple Aphis 
 of Red Spider 
 Green Peach Aphis 
 Oyster Shell Scale 
 Peach Leaf Curl 
 Pear Leaf Blister Mite 
 
 Lime-Sulphur 
 Winter strength 
 
 Apply while buds are swelling to Apples, Pears, Peaches, Plums 
 and Cherries and small fruits, using the winter strength lime-sul- 
 phur, drenching all parts of the tree. 
 
 Test both the commercial and home-made lime-sulphur with hy- 
 drometer before using to secure the correct strength. The tree 
 must be completely covered with winter strength lime-sulphur 
 when spraying for scale insects. Coat every portion from ground 
 to tip of twigs. 
 
 Strawberry Leaf Blight 
 
 Lime-Sulphur 
 Summer strength 
 
 Apply when new leaves start. 
 
 Repeat every 10-15 days until flowers appear. Bum leaves as 
 soon as crop is harvested. 
 
 Thrips 
 
 Nicotine Ext. (40Vr ) % pint 
 
 Water 100 gals. 
 
 Soap 2 to 6 lbs. 
 
 The period for effective spraying against adult thrips is during 
 the time when the buds are swollen and partly open, and until they 
 are entirely open at the tips. Spray for the larvae after the petals 
 drop to reduce the numbers of insects for the following year. 
 
 Apple Scab 
 Black Rot of Apple 
 Brown Rot of Prune 
 Bud Moth 
 Caterpillars 
 Codling Moth 
 
 Lime-Sulphur 
 Summer strength 
 and 
 
 Arsenate of Lead 
 3 lbs. to 50 gallons 
 
 First application. Just before blossoms open, for apple scab and 
 various leaf-eating insects, use lime-sulphur solution (32<^ Beaum6) 
 diluted with forty parts of water, with two to three pounds ar- 
 senate of lead to forty gallons. May be omitted if insects are few 
 and weather is dry. 
 
 Second application. When blossoms are about two-thirds off, 
 give same treatment as (2). This is the most important spraying 
 for apple scab and codling moth. Should never be omitted. 
 
 Third application. About two weeks later repeat (2) if weather 
 is favorable for apple scab; that is, moist and warm. 
 
 Fourth application. About first week in August repeat (2) to 
 prevent late infections of apple scab and to control second brood 
 of codling moth. 
 
 PEARS 
 
 Spray as for apples. As foliage appears to be more susceptible to 
 injuries by the spraying mixture, dilute concentrated lime-sulphur 
 solution (32® B.) in the proportion of 1 to 50 and apply the 
 liquid in minimum quantities, using nozzles with fine apertures. 
 
 For life history of codling moth, write Experiment Sta., Geneva. 
 
 Canker (N.Y. Apple) 
 Mildew, Apple 
 Scab, Apple and Pear 
 
 Lime-Sulphur

 See Arsenate of Lead for combination spray. 
 
 Grape Rot and Anthrac- 
 nose 
 
 Bordeaux Mixture 
 5-5-60 formula 
 
 Apply when leaves are half grown ; just before blossoming ; 
 when fruit has set. 
 
 Repeat once or twice at intervals of two weeks. If later applica- 
 tions are necessary, use ammonical copper carbonate solution. 
 
 Plum Curculio 
 
 Arsenate of Lead 
 
 PLUMS 
 
 First application. When “husks” or calyxes drop, spray vrith 
 arsenate of lead, 3 lbs. to 50 gals, of water for the curculio. For 
 leaf spot on European varieties use bordeaux mixture 5-5-50 with 
 arsenate of lead. 
 
 Second application. For leaf spot repeat spraying with bor- 
 deaux mixture about ten days later. 
 
 Spray Japanese varieties of plums as directed for peaches. 
 
 CHERRIES 
 
 Spray as for plums for San Jose scale and the curculio. 
 
 PEACHES 
 
 First application. When “husks'* or caly.xes are dropping use 
 two pounds of arsenate of lead, to fifty gallons of water for the 
 curculio. The self-boiled lime-sulphur mixture may be used as 
 carrier of the poison to control also brown rot and scab. 
 
 Second application. Two or three weeks later use 8-8-50 self- 
 boiled lime-sulphur mixture and two pounds of ai’senate of lead. 
 
 Third application. About one month before finiit ripens repeat 
 treatment with self-boiled mixture, omitting the poison. 
 
 AphLs 
 
 on fruit trees 
 on garden crops 
 Leaf Hopper 
 Oyster Shell Bark Louse 
 Red Spider 
 
 Woolly Aphis on Branchs 
 
 Kerosene Emulsion or To- 
 bacco Black Leaf 
 
 These are contact insecticides and should be applied to exposed 
 and tender bodies of young. These are all sucking insects and 
 food poisons are of little value. 
 
 Be sure to penetrate covering of woolly aphis ; be thorough, do 
 not allow any to escape. 
 
 Peach Brown Rot 
 Peach Scab 
 
 Lime-Sulphur 
 Self-boiled 8-8-50 
 
 Spray four w-eeks after blossoms have fallen, again in three 
 weeks and about one month before fruit ripens. 
 
 Raspberry Cane Blight 
 
 Resin-Bordeaux 
 
 Apply just after leaves have fallen. 
 
 Apple Cankers 
 Aphis Eggs 
 Pear Leaf Blister Mite 
 Red Spider Eggs 
 Tent Caterpillar Eggs 
 Woolly Aphis 
 
 Lime-Sulphur 
 Winter strength 
 
 Spraying in spring before buds open may be substituted for this 
 for combating insects and fungus pests. However, it may be de- 
 sirable to apply in fall on account of rabbits. 
 
 Grape Mildew 
 
 Flowers of Sulphur 
 
 For mildew on grape use finely pulverized sulphur. Dust the 
 ground and vines freely during a warm, bright morning when 
 the slightest attack of mildew is suspected. This should not be 
 applied while the weather is damp or the vines w’et. 
 
 Tussock Moth 
 
 Band Trees 
 
 Band trees with tanglefoot or strips of raw cotton, binding it 
 in the middle, leaving band loose above or below. Do not apply 
 sticky preparations directly on bark of trees. Use bands during 
 June, July and Augu.st. Remove egg clusters which appear in 
 masses as a white froth. 
 
 Crown Gall 
 Fire Blight 
 
 Raspberry Cane Blight 
 Strawberry Crown and 
 Root Borers 
 Leaf Rollers 
 
 Destroy infected parts 
 See notes 
 
 Crown Gall is a bacterial disease of root or crown of trees. All 
 infected trees should be destroyed. Keep a constant lookout for 
 thU trouble. 
 
 Fire Blight Bacteria may extend below discolored or blackened 
 region, hence cut should be made about one foot below. Disinfect 
 knife and wound with mercuric bichloride one part to 1000 parts 
 of water. 
 
 Strawberry plants should be dug up and burned before May 1 
 to destroy insects before beetles escape to lay eggs. 
 
 For straw'berrv leaf roller burn too as soon as crop is gathered.

 HK AKT and Science of Landscape Gardening, for here we have both art and 
 science combined, is of paramount importance to every land owner, whether lim- 
 ited to a humble city or town lot. large estate, or the farm. The home surround- 
 ings can be V'astly improved and values greatly enhanced by a judicious expenditure 
 in landscape work, yielding a hundred fold in actual value besides affording a pleas- 
 ure to the possessor and the public generally that cannot be estimated in dollars 
 and cents. Every beautilier of his grounds is a public benefactor. The buildings 
 may be ever so plain and homely, yet with the grounds surrounding them nicely laid out 
 and cared for. they are made charming: on the other hand a building ever so line, if surround- 
 ed by illy designed and kept grounds, the effect is most unpleasant. It is manifest, therefore, 
 that if we would have a really beautiful home we must pay attention to its environment by a 
 correct application of the means and material called for in the art of laying out grounds, and 
 while this fact is so obvious yet how often do we see this important work entrusted to those 
 without taste and having little, if any, experience in this very important work of landscape 
 architecture. 
 
 It is not everyone who is possessed of the necessary qualifications for this branch of work, 
 for, to meet success, artistic taste must be combined with practical knowledge and experience. 
 The ordinary gardener may plant and prune and cultivate, yet be ignorant of the art of com- 
 bining, blending and getting the most out of what nature has provided. 
 
 in landscape work no hard and fast rules can be laid down, as every place presents condi- 
 tions peculiar to itself, requiring special and independent treatment. As well attempt to lay 
 
 down a set rule or design for the 
 landscape painter, except it may 
 be said that landscape designing is 
 divided into two general classes — • 
 the old style or Formal, also called 
 the Geometrical, and the new style 
 or Natural. 
 
 Laying out grounds, as it is calied, may be 
 considered as a liberal art, in some sort like 
 poetry and painting; and its object, like that 
 of all the liberal arts, is, or ought to be, to 
 move the affections under the control of good 
 sense. If this be so when we are merely 
 putting together words or colors, how much 
 more ought the feeling to prevail when we 
 are in the midst of the realities of things; of 
 the beauty and harmony of the joy and hap- 
 piness of living creatures; of men and chil- 
 dren, of birds and beasts, of hills and streams, 
 and trees and flowers, with the changes of 
 night and day, evening and morning, sum- 
 mer and winter, and all their unwearied

 To give your home 
 an inviting approach 
 the trees and shrubs 
 should not be plant- 
 ed at random. A 
 well cut lawn, with 
 trees and shrubs 
 planted, each in an 
 appropriate place, 
 along the drives 
 leading to the house 
 and other buildings, 
 with largest possible 
 open lawn spaces, 
 bespeaks the spirit 
 and character of the 
 home. The back- 
 ground for a spa- 
 cious lawn should be 
 of the different va- 
 rieties o f larger- 
 growing trees, with 
 groups of specimen 
 trees in the fore- 
 ground. Most shrubs 
 are at their best 
 planted en masse, 
 either all of one va- 
 riety or with several 
 varieties so arranged 
 that the higher 
 growing ones will 
 form the center, 
 with those of lower 
 growing habits 
 planted around 
 them. The plants 
 should be thorough- 
 ly cultivated and 
 
 annually pruned. It is not well to plant so few that years must pass before a good effect is produced, but a surplus 
 should be planted at first and thinning indulged as required. Vines should be planted near the porches and allowed to 
 clamber on trellises, thus affording natural screens, admitting of ventilation while affording protection against exces- 
 sive heat and giving privacy to the owner and his family.

 Mass Planting: of Evergreens. 
 
 Evergreens 
 
 We sive special attention to the propagation and cultivation of Evergreens. Our collection 
 and stock compares favorably with any in America. VV^e have eliminated from our lists many 
 tender species and varieties which cannot be grown successfully in our northern climate with- 
 out being injured in winter. 
 
 Kvorgrotui Plantings. Their exiiuisite winter aspect and varying shades of color through 
 the year give them the highest value in ornamental planting, while the hardiest forms have 
 great utility when used as windbreaks, screens and shelters. Along the seacoast, the Scotch 
 and Austrian pines form barriers against the high winds, behind which large and val- 
 uable plantations of tenderer deciduous trees and shrubs are gradually established. Their 
 value and utility in almost every location cannot be overlooked.

 Hedges 
 
 The idea of planting hedges for use as well as for orna- 
 ment, for the protection of orchards, farms and gardens, 
 is a practical one, and rapidly becoming appreciated. 
 They serve as a protection against winds and prevent the 
 blowing off of fruit. We know that our gardens are ear- 
 lier, and that our fruits ripen better when protected by 
 such screens. Nothing can be more beautiful than orna- 
 mental hedges of evergreens, or shrubs, well kept and 
 pruned to serve as boundary lines or as divisions between 
 the lawn and garden, or to hide unsightly places. By 
 using medium-sized plants, a hedge can be made as 
 cheaply as a good fence can be built, and then, with little 
 care, it becomes every year more and more “a thing of 
 beauty.” An attraction in our best-kept places. 
 
 For Ornaiiiont. — Among the plants adapted to orna- 
 mental hedges, the .\incrican .Vrhorvitiv and the Xoi-way 
 Spriiot' take the first place. We also recommend for more 
 variety. Hemlock, Siberian ArborvitiP. Japan Quinots Al- 
 thea. IJarlH-rry, Buckthorn. Privet, Tai-tariaii Honeysuckle, 
 Spireas, Dent/.ias, Pliiladelplins, Box and Mahonia.

 A Hedge of Berberis Thunbergii or Japanese Barbern-. 
 
 Pli.W'I'S — Comiinu'd. 
 
 For SJioltcr and S<Te<‘ns. — For planting in 
 belts to afford shelter from violent winds, or for 
 concealing unsightly objects or views, we rec- 
 ommend Xorway Spruce. Austrian. Scotch and 
 White Pine and .Vnierican Arboiwita*. to which 
 we may add Carolina Poplar and Silver Maple. 
 
 Directions for Setting. — Evergreens must be 
 handled with care, not allowing the roots to 
 become dried by the wind. I’lants for hedges 
 being generally set when quite small, should 
 be placed nine inches apart; larger sized plants 
 requiring more space. Buckthorn. Honey I..O- 
 cust and Osage Orange are generally in double 
 row.s. about nine inches apart. 
 
 Priiniiig’. — Evergreens should be pruned in 
 spring, just before they commence growing. 
 Summer pruning may be practiced on the Ar- 
 borvita; should the growth be too rapid.

 Tree or Moutan Class 
 
 Peonies 
 
 Handsome flowering shrubs, 
 attaining from 3 to 4 feet in 
 height, with proper care. The 
 flowers are remarkably beauti- 
 ful and striking, very numerous 
 and enormous in size, often 
 measuring 6 to 8 inches across, 
 and apf)ear in May and June. 
 Although hardy, the plants are 
 greatly improved by a slight 
 protection in winter. 
 
 Herbaceous Class 
 
 Peonies should be planted in 
 good, rich, deep, moist soil, after 
 which they re<iuire less atten- 
 tion than any other class of 
 flowering plants. They are per- 
 fectly hardy and their remark- 
 able freedom from disease and 
 insects make them most desir- 
 ai)le. Some of the varieties are 
 of enormous size. perfectly 
 double and deliciously fragrant. 
 In color the Peony rivals the 
 rose in beauty, ranging from 
 I)ure white to darkest red, and 
 the shades of pink are truly 
 magnificent. Peonies thrive in 
 all locations whether in the 
 broad sunlight or in partial 
 shade. Our blocks attract hun- 
 dreds of visitors each year.

 Hardy Perennials 
 
 The fashion of “ribbon*’ or “bedding out” gardening is largely a thing of the past. In its 
 pla(*e we now find rnore permanent and varied forms which do away with the expense and an- 
 noyance yearly entailed by the process of filling garden beds with tender flowering and foliage 
 plants which are destroyed by early frosts. The charm of a garden of hardy plants rests in 
 the constant change and succcssional variety which develops new interest, and enables the 
 possessor each day to find some new feature of form and beauty. By consulting our lists, one 
 can. by making judicious selections, stock the garden or border with plants which will afford 
 a profusion and succession of bloom from early spring until late in the autumn.

 A Modern Rose Garden. 
 
 Roses 
 
 Very great progress has been made within the last few years in rose culture and the best 
 list of roses of today would not contain many v'arieties that were the best a few years ago. From 
 the ends of the earth new varieties and new species are gathered, new hybrids are produced 
 and new seedlings are grown from which careful selections are made, and it is truly won- 
 derful what the results have been up to date. About all that is desirable in a rose has been 
 obtained in color, size, fragrance and hardiness. 
 
 As roses are raised mostly for their flowers, it is nec*essary to gis'e that culture to the plant 
 best adapted to produce this result. A very rich soil is of the first importance and it 
 be made so by thoroughly working into it plenty of old composted stable manure in which 
 leaf mold has been decomposed. , , , , 
 
 Hardy sorts of roses may be i>lanted in the fall or spring. All roses should be severely 
 out back at the time of planting, and thereafter every spring. 
 
 ilybrid Perpetual Hoses may be cut back immediately after flowering to ensure new 
 growth and increased blooming the same season. 
 
 Wintci* l*i*otoc‘tioii. — All roses in this climate will give better results if protected in the 
 winter. The best way is to cover the plants with dry leaves kept down by evergreen boughs, 
 ail of which should be removed early in the spring. 
 
 Ins<H‘l HcnuMlies.— For anv insect that eats the foliage, a dusting of the damp leaves with 
 white hellebore will be safe and sufficient. For thrips and aphides a spraying of whaleoil soap 
 will be effective. If mildew appears, sprinkle the moist leaves with dry powdered sulphur or 
 sprinkle with sulphide of potassium dis.solved in water. A cubic inch to a gallon of water. 
 
 Remarks 
 
 There are thousands of varieties of roses srown, and we have been testing and selecting for 
 years to secure a satisfactory list for ourselves aud our customers. We can supply most any 
 of the meritorious new creations by others at regular introductory price.s, but refuse to accept 
 orders for such as may not have l)een thoroutthly tested or the merit.s of which will not have 
 become established. The followinK varieties with Itrief descriptions, we regard as good a list 
 as can be made, including some good old sorts and all desirable new ones. 
 
 Roses are divided into a number of classes which overlap each other so as to make much 
 confusion. We have tried here to classify according to hardiness and blooming ciualities rath- 
 er than I>y the regular classification. 
 
 The roses we offer are not the little soft plants grown as small as possible so as to send by 
 mail. l)Ut good, strong two-year-old plants 18 to 80 inches high and well rooted. Xo statement 
 is needed to convince planters which are best, in describing roses we have used the follow- 
 ing letters to designate the class to which each sort belongs: 
 
 H. for Hybrid Perpetual or Remontant. S. for Summer. II. X. for Hybrid Xoisette. 
 
 H. T. for Hybrid Tea. T. for Tea. H. Ch. for Hybrid China. 
 
 H. C. for Hybrid Climber. .X. for Xoisette, P. for Prairie. 
 
 (Xoisette, •Bourbon, Bengal or China and Tea). The following varieties we keep in stock, 
 mostly in pot.s, so they can be shipped at any sea.son. They <‘an l)e planted at any time out 
 of doors or they can remain in the pots for house culture and winter blooming. Any treat- 
 ment that will keep them growing will favor an aliundance of bloom. Varieties marked (f) 
 are usually hardy in the open ground in this section if suitalily protected in winter. 
 
 Hoiigar or (’Iiiiia Ko.se. .V native of China. Of moderate liranching growth, with flowers and 
 foliage both small. They are not very hardy but with protection are valuable on account of 
 the profusion of crimson buds which such sorts as Agrifipina produce. 
 
 Kourboii. A hytfrid of Bengal and Dama.sk Ro.ses. Quite hardy. Foliage dark and lus- 
 trous: habit vigorovis: flowers are generally of light shades. 
 
 Xoi.settc. Quite hardy. Flowers in small clusters and blooms very freely all the season. 
 
 Tea. Native of China. Flowers valuable because of the beautiful buds. See Catherine Jler- 
 met, Perle des .lardines, etc.

 The Beautiful Early Summer Red Astrachan. 
 
 FRUIT DEPARTMENT 
 
 Dr. .John A. Warder, in his excellent work on Apples, says: “Every orchard planter who 
 
 examines the extended varieties of fruit presented to him in books and hy nurserymen, must 
 feel greatly embarassed when he comes to select the varieties for his own orchard. Almost 
 every one of the long list is recommended for some good (luality. and the number of best 
 which he is apt to conclude is indispensable to him, is wonderfully large. Some persons are 
 bewildered by the array presented in the catalog, and fall back upon their own slender stock 
 of information, selecting only one well known variety, but most persons commit a far greater 
 fault by attempting to grasp all the varieties that are offered and recommended,” 
 
 To our best knowledge and belief, the collection of fruits we offer herein of our own grow- 
 ing comprises the best and most popular varieties possessing merit. 
 
 The revised system of nomenclature we have adopted has been approved by the majority 
 of the leading American nursery firms, the Experiment Stations, Agricultural Colleges, the 
 i'nited States Department of Agriculture and Horticultural Societies. We feel such an indul- 
 gence will eliminate duplication.s, the misnaming of standard varieties and resultant confusion, 
 thereby materially improving American Pomology. The incorrect variety name frequently 
 listed in American Xurserymen’s catalogues is shown parenthetically. 
 
 Apples 
 
 The first fruit, l)Oth in importance and general culture, is the Apple. In most sections of 
 country, there is no farm crop which will produce one-fourth as much income per acre as will 
 a good Apple Oreliard. The standard trees are intended for orchards. These are from 5 to 7 
 feet in height, with proportional thickness, and from 2 to 3 years growth from the bud. If 
 apple trees are planted at the rate of fifty trees to the acre, rows of peach, cherry or plum trees 
 can be planted between the apples, which. growin,g more (luickly than the apple trees, soon pro- 
 tect them from winds and thus prove a great benefit to them. After 8 or 10 years of product- 
 iveness. as the space is needed for the apples, the peach trees may be removed, leaving the 
 orchard better for the protection, at the same time having yielded the planter a larger return 
 for his outlay and labor. Apple trees will thrive on nearly all well-drained soils.

 Crab Apples — for Ornament and Preserving 
 
 There are several points to which we wish to direct attention and upon which we base our 
 recommendation of these hardy fruits. 
 
 1. They can be planted in any kind of soil, and in the most exposed situations; are not 
 
 injured by the coldest weather. ... , , 
 
 2. They con\e into bearing very early, usually the second year from planting, and bear 
 every year. 
 
 3. They are unequaled for cider or vinegar and jelly. 
 
 4. They can be dried, cooked, canned, or preserved with the skin on, thus saving a great 
 
 deal of trouble. , 
 
 5. The size of the fruit varies from one and one-half to two and one-half Inches in diam- 
 eter, being large enough to quarter and core for drying.

 crab. Round, oblate, cream yellow ground,

 which is known 
 as one of the

 diest and best fla- 
 vored of our new

 Branch of Kieffer Pears. 
 
 Pears 
 
 Oiii" Soil is especially well adapted for producing the finest and hardiest pear trees, those 
 containing the most life, body and strength, and it has been for many years an admitted fact 
 that our pears trees cannot be excelled. 
 
 SUindard I'ixh's on pear stock are preferable for the orchard. These are best from four 
 to six feet high. 
 
 Dwarfs are budded on the Angers Quince (marked Q on the list), and are best for the gar- 
 den; they should be two or three years old, and from three to five feet high, having been 
 well cut back in the nursery rows when one year old, to produce long side branches. They 
 should be planted in rich, well tilled soil, and kept under good cultivation. The general rule is 
 to remove every spring, after hard freezing is over, and before the sap starts, one-half or 
 two-thirds of the previous summer’s growth. 
 
 These dwarf trees must always be planted sulficiently deep to cover the junction of the 
 pear and quince 2 to 3 inches. , 
 
 (iatliering Peai-s. Most varieties of pears are greatly inferior in flavor when allowed to 
 ripen on the tree. Gather when, on gently lifting the fruit, the stem will readily separate 
 from the limb; this will be from one to two weeks before they are ripe. Ripen in the house, 
 placing the fruit in a dark room until fully matured. Winter pears should hang on the tree 
 until there Is danger of frost — say from first to tenth of Octol)er. 
 
 Tliin tlio Fruit. We cannot urge too strongly the following suggestion: When pear trees 
 
 are heavily laden the fruit should be thinned when about one-third grown, else the fruit will 
 be poor and the trees injured. 
 
 The pear succeeds in most soils, but does best on rather heavy clay or loam.

 Cherries 
 
 Being the earliest fruit on the market, the cherry holds a strong place in public favor, 
 and for this reason commands a good price in all markets. Farmers are planting cherry trees 
 extensively on the road sides and on lawns for shade and fruit, thus combining usefulness 
 and profit, and for these two purposes the stronger growing varieties are to be preferred, 
 especially the black sorts. The cherry tree universally requires a dry soil, and is naturally 
 a hardy tree, succeeding in the lightest soil, or driest situations. Cherries are divided into 
 two classes. Hearts and Bigarreaii, varieties of rapid growth, with large glossy leaves, form- 
 ing fine pyramid-shaped heads, and producing large crops of luscious sweet fruit. Dukes and 
 Morellos, which are all of slender growth and do not attain so large a size, generally pro- 
 duce acid fruit, are also hardier and better adapted for raising fruit for market. Many trees 
 produce from five to six bushels per tree. 
 
 Heart and Bigarreau Cherries 
 
 Black Heart. Hardy, strong, large grower. 
 
 Fruit above medium size; skin glossy dark 
 puri)le, becoming deep black when fully ripe.

 luscious; hangs long on the tree, and not 
 liable to rot in wet weather. Tree hardy, 
 vigorous; a regular and great bearer. Middle 
 of .luly. 
 
 Dikeiiian. This gem among cherries has 
 the advantage of being the latest ripening 
 Sweet Cherry knowm; hence, placed on the 
 market two or three weeks after other sorts 
 are gone, it commands highest price. Black, 
 good size, and in texture reminds one of the 
 (^berries from the Pacific slope, being meaty 
 and solid. It is this iiuality alone which makes 
 it such a good shipper and keeps it -so long. 
 
 Earl.v Purple (Early Purple Guigne). Me- 
 dium, purple; tender, juicy, rich and sweet. 
 
 Tree hardy, slender and of spreading growth,

 Shropshire Plums. 
 
 Plums 
 
 riums, like pears, attain the highest perfection on our heavy soils. 
 
 We have divided our list of plums into three general classes: European. Japan and Native. 
 
 The European plums are mostly of English or , French origin and are distinguished for 
 their high tpiality. They require good cultivation and the most intelligent care of any fruit, 
 but they richly repay the diligent orchardist. 
 
 Japa'n plums are attracting the attention of growers because of their showy appearance, 
 their fungus resisting foliage and adaptability to almost any soil and climate. 
 
 Native plums are hardy, produce large crops, mostly of early and medium sized highly 
 colored fruit. They seem to thrive in the most unfavorable locations of soil and climate. 
 When planting this type, several varieties should be planted in the same orchard so the blos- 
 soms will fertilize properly.

 Elberta Peach Orchard. 
 
 Peaches 
 
 The peach tree requires a well-drained, moderately rich soil; warm, .sandy loam is prob- 
 ably the best. 
 
 In order to preserve the continued healthy growth of the tree and the line quality of the 
 fruit, the peach should have the shoots and i)ranches cut hack to one-half of the preceding 
 ■season's growth every year, so as to preserve a round, vigorous head; this should be done the 
 last of February, or as early in the spring as practicable. The land should not be seeded to 
 grass, but kept in constant cuitivation until August. 
 
 The following varieties have been selected out of hundreds, the be.st only being chosen.

 Quinces 
 
 The (juince is well known and highly esteemed for c;ooking and preserving. One of the 
 most prohtable for orchard planting. 
 
 The trees are hardy and compact in growth, require but little space, productive, give reg- 
 ular crops and come early into bearing. . t,* c icg 
 
 They require a good deep soil, which should be kept clean and mellow, with an occasion- 
 al diessing of manure, but do not need severe pruning; a careful thinning out of the old 
 decayed wood will be sufficient. 
 
 Keep a \igilant search after the borer, and thin out the fruit if bearing too freely. 
 
 Bourgoat. A new variety, of the best quali- 
 ty, tender and good. Ripening shortly after 
 Orange, and keeping till past midwinter.

 Mulberries 
 
 The Mulberry is one of the most valuable of tree.s. As valuable for shade as for its fruit 
 
 often growing 6 to 8 feet in one season. 
 Perfects hardy. Ihe uit ripens in July and continues for three months. It is rarely picked 
 trees, as it falls as soon as ripe, and it is therefore the custom to keep the surface 
 below in a short turf, and the fruit is picked from the green grass. Invaluable for planting 
 in yards where chickens are kept. 
 
 .American (New American). Tree very vig- 
 orous and productive, surpassed by none;

 Nuts 
 
 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 prolitable 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 better than farm crops or fruits, while most kinds are making a growth of valu- 
 able timber, that will of itself pay a large per cent on the investment. 
 
 Our native nut-bearing trees are admirably adapted for planting in streets, farm lanes, 
 pastures, etc., for shade, ornament and profitable returns. 
 
 Butternut 
 
 Hutlcrniit (White Walnut). A native species 
 of medium size; spreading head, grayish col- 
 ored bark; wood very valuable. Xut oblong 
 and rough; highly prized for its sweet, nutri- 
 tious kernel. 
 
 Filbert 
 
 Filbert, I'ngiisli (Hazel Xut). This is of 
 the easiest culture, growing 0 to 8 feet, en- 
 tirely hardy, and one of the most profitable 
 and satisfactory nuts to grow; succeeding on 
 almost all soils: bearing early and abundantly. 
 Xuts nearly round, rich, and of excellent flavor. 
 
 A recent photograph of our old friend (who delights in 
 calling himself so many years “younK”l, a monumental 
 example of the “simple life.” We can do no better than 
 quote from his letter of Feb. 3rd, 1916: ”In one season 1 
 
 have pruned for our patrons and friends 165 grajie arbore 
 between Williamsport and Towanda. and Sayre and 
 Towanda, Penn. 1 rounded out 92 years la-st September. 
 I have never accepted a ‘treat,’ nor have I even ‘treated,’ 
 nor have I ever called for a glass of liquor, nor have I 
 ever used tobacco. Am now writinsr without glasses ; am 
 in good health for one of my age; have represented your 
 Nursery about sixteen years, and expect to send you some 
 orders for Spring 1916 shipment. 
 
 Yours for a stjuare deal, H. S. CLARK.” 
 
 Chestnut 
 
 AnicrU-aii Sweet. A valuable native tree, 
 both useful and ornamental. When grown in 
 open ground it assumes an elegant, symmetri- 
 cal form; foliage rich and glossy. Nuts sweet, 
 of delicate flavor, and are a valuable article 
 of commerce. 
 
 Spaiiisli. A handsome, round headed tree, 
 producing abundantly very large nuts that And 
 a ready market at good prices. Not as sweet 
 as the Americ.an. 
 
 Paragon (New). A vigorous grower and an 
 early, abundant bearer; nuts very large, three 
 or four in a burr and particularly sweet and 
 rich. 
 
 Walnut 
 
 IJlaek. A native tree of large size and ma- 
 jestic form, beautiful foliage. The most valu- 
 able of all trees for its timber, which enters 
 largely into the manufacture of furniture and 
 cabinet ware, and brings the highest price in 
 market. Tree a rapid grower, producing a 
 large round nut of excellent quality. 
 
 Kiiglisli. A fine, lofty growing tree, with a 
 handsome spreading head. It produces im- 
 mense crops of thin shelled delicious nuts, 
 which arc always in demand; fruit in green 
 state is highly esteemed for pickling. 
 
 Jupaii. The nuts are considerably larger 
 than the common hickory nut. and borne in 
 clusters of fifteen to twenty. The shell is a 
 little thicker than that of the English Walnut, 
 which it resembles in a general way. The trees 
 liegin to bear when two or three years old. 
 
 Grapes 
 
 Grape vines are very easily transplanted 
 when young, if thrifty plants are used. 
 
 Dig holes from eight to ten inches deep and 
 large enough so the roots may spread natur- 
 ally, without crossing each other; distribute 
 the finest .soil among them and pack firmly. 
 
 Cultivate thoroughly through the season; the 
 spring following planting, after the buds swell, 
 cut off all hut the two best lowest buds, per- 
 mitting two canes only to grow. In the fall 
 cut one cane four to six feet to bear the next 
 year, and cut one back to two eyes again to 
 form new wood for the following year’s crop. 
 
 There is a large list of novelties but we name 
 only those that thrive in most localities.

 Currants 
 
 I’lant in very fertile soil, made so by liberal manuring. The tops should be cut back .so 
 only three or four branches will grow the first season. Thin out the old wood yearly, open- 
 ing the bush considerably. At the first appearance of currant worms they are easily destroy- 
 ed by sprinkling with a can of water in which powdered white hellebore is stirred — (one 
 ounce to three gallons). Plant in rows five feet apart and three feet apart in row.

 Raspberries 
 
 For field culture raspberries should be plant- 
 ed in rows four to six feet apart, two and one- 
 half to three feet in rows, depending on the 
 character of growth of sorts planted. 
 
 The first year after planting cut the canes 
 about two feet from the ground and when 
 grown eighteen inches pinch off the ends, 
 which will cause them to branch: repeat this 
 when a new growth comes to make stocky 
 plants. The following spring shear off a third 
 of the wood, leaving a round bush. 
 
 Only five or six shoots should be left on sorts 
 that sucker. Cut off all others. 
 
 Red and Purple Raspberries 
 
 CoIuiiibUui. A new variety of great promise, 
 ft is a vigorous grower and very hardy. Fruit 
 purple and delicious for table or canning, and

 oblong, the largest of red raspberries, very 
 hardy. Flavor sweet and juicy. Season five 
 or six days before Cuthbert. 
 
 Asparagus 
 
 To make a good asparagus bed the plants 
 may be set in the fall or early spring. Pre- 
 IJare a place of line loamy soil to which has 
 been added a liberal dressing of good manure. 
 Select two-year or strong one-year plants, and 
 for a garden, set in rows 18 to 20 inches apart, 
 with plants 10 to 12 inches in the row. 
 
 The roots should be spread and planted so 
 that the crowns, when covered, shall be three 
 inches below the surface of the ground. If 
 planted in the fall the whole bed should be 
 covered before winter sets in with two or three 
 inches of stable manure, which may be lightly 
 forked in between the rows as soon as the 
 ground opens in the spring. 
 
 Conover's Colo.ssal. Highly recommended 
 for its immense size, and being remarkably 
 tender and high Ilavored. 
 
 Donald’s Elmira. Color a delicate green, dif- 
 ferent from other varieties, while the stalks 
 are more tender and succulent. Its mammoth 
 size always commands a fancy price.

 seeds. After three years’ trial, this fruit was 
 the first to receive the $50 Gold Medal of the 
 Western New York Horticultural Society.

 June. Very excellent red raspberry. A new 
 variety propagated by N. y. Experiment Sta- 
 tion and recommended by them. Very large, 
 prolific and vigorous. Good both for canning 
 and table use. 
 
 laxidon. A new red raspberry which origin- 
 ated at Janesville, Wis. Said to be a seedling 
 of Turner crossed with Cuthbert. Large, 
 broadly conical, beautiful red. Ripens about 
 with Cuthbert. continuing later, and in quality 
 better than that variety. One of the best red 
 raspberries. 
 
 >IarllH>ro. It is a strong grower with strong 
 side arms; it is perfectly hardy. The large size 
 of its dark green foliage is the means of its 
 early, regular and late bearing and extraordi- 
 nary size of fruit; in color a bright crimson, 
 and unlike others, does not lose its brilliancy 
 when over ripe; of a good quality and very 
 prolific. 
 
 Shaffer (Shaffer’s Colossal). Fruit very 
 large purplish red, rather soft, but luscious, 
 and of a rich, sprightly flavor. A strong grow- 
 er, hardy, and enormously productive. Shaf-

 home garden should be without it. 
 
 Black Raspberries 
 
 ('uiiibcrlaiul. The bush is hardy, a vigorous 
 grower, and exceptionally productive. Fruit 
 of uniform size, and larger than any known 
 black raspberry. Many specimens are from 
 seven-eighths to fifteen-sixteenths of an inch 
 in diameter. In quality it is equal to Gree"-, 
 ripening a few days earlier than that variety. 
 It is very firm and a good shipper. 
 
 Diumond (Black Diamond). Large, very 
 sweet and pulpy, yet fine for shipping and 
 evaporating. Canes strong and fruitful. Early. 
 
 Farmer (Plum Farmer). P^ruit very large, 
 average nearly an inch in diameter; hush a 
 very vigorous grower. Early. 
 
 Gregg. Jet black, never falls from the

 growth; hardy and immensely productive. 
 
 Ohio. The greatest producer among Black 
 Caps, and for canning or evaporating the most 
 profitable of all. Berry not quite as large as 
 Gregg; plant hardy. 
 
 Blackberries 
 
 It is natural for blackberries to grow much stronger than raspberries, but the mode of 
 culture is about the same. Permit three or four canes to grow the first season; pinch back 
 when three feet high. I'rune back to four feet. Plant in rows six to seven feet apart, three 
 feet apart in the row. 
 
 .\gawaiii. p’ruit medium size; jet-black,

 root, thus propagating themselves like the 
 black cap raspberry. The fruit is borne in 
 clusters; berries very large, color intense black 
 with a high polish; seeds small; flesh juicy, 
 high flavored, sweet and delicious. Carries 
 well to market. In season medium early. 
 
 Sn.vdcr. A marvel for productivene.ss; fruit 
 medium size, sweet and melting to the core. 
 Its value is its extreme hardiness, standing the 
 winters in those sections where the Kittatinny 
 and Early Harvest kill down. 
 
 Wil.son (Wilson’s Early). Very large, shining 
 black, retaining its color well after picking, 
 and fine for the table as soon as full-colored; 
 quite firm, sweet, rich and good; ripens two 
 weeks before and during the height of the 
 blackberry season. 
 
 Dewberries or Running Black- 
 berries 
 
 Jju<;rctia. The plants are perfectly hardy 
 and healthy, and remarkably productive. The 
 fruit which ripens with the Mammoth Cluster 
 raspberry, is very large, soft, sweet and lus- 
 cious throughout, without hard center or core.

 Downing: Gooseberries. 
 
 lloujthtoii (American). Fruit medium size, 
 red, thin skinned, juicy, sweet and good in 
 flavor and quality. Very productive. 
 
 Industry (European). Bush a strong grow- 
 er, and the most productive of European varie- 
 ties; fruit large, dark red, mild, sub-acid, 
 sweet and good flavor; one of the best for 
 market, either green or ripe. 
 
 Pearl. The most prolific gooseberry known. 
 One bush produced 2,500 berries. It is free 
 from mildew and is larger than the Downing. 
 The color is light green and quality first-class. 
 Being thoroughly tested, we offer it as the 
 best of its class yet grown. 
 
 Smith (Smith’s Improved). American. Color 
 yellow; large, excellent; pulp sweet and good. 
 
 Whitesmith (European). Fruit large, 
 smooth, thin skin and tender; color yellowish 
 green; sweet and very good. A very desir- 
 able variety. 
 
 Gooseberries 
 
 Gooseberries thrive well 
 on a variety of soils, if well 
 drained and fertile. The cul- 
 tiv'ation should be thorough 
 early in the season. 
 
 European varieties are of 
 a large size and various col- 
 ors. The green fruit is sent 
 to the early markets and is 
 profitable. 
 
 The best American goose- 
 berries are superior to Euro- 
 pean sorts in productiveness, 
 hardiness, quality and free- 
 dom from mildew; the curse 
 of European varieties and 
 their seedlings is mildew. 
 
 Mildew may be kept under 
 control by frequent spraying 
 with potassium sulphide. 
 
 Bordeaux mixture is not re- 
 commended because it spots 
 the fruit. After the fruit is 
 gathered the Bordeaux mixture may be used 
 against the leaf blight. 
 
 Downing (American). “The standard of 
 excellence,” large, pale green and covered with 
 a white bloom; best in flavor and quality; a 
 strong grower, productive and healthy; valu- 
 able for market. 
 
 Crown Bob (European). Barge, round, 
 ovate, red, hairy fruits, of the finest quality. 
 
 Jos-selyn. Good grower, fine foliage and a 
 very profitable fruiter when compared with 
 any other gooseberry in existence. The freest 
 of all gooseberries from mildew, both in leaf 
 and fruit. 
 
 Keepsake (European). The blos.soms of this 
 variety are well protected by foliage, so that 
 it is sure to set good crops in any ordinary 
 season. The berries are very large, pale yel- 
 low. of good flavor and ship well. Quite pro- 
 ductive. 
 
 Perfect Blossom. 
 
 Strawberries 
 
 1‘lant strawlierries in early fall or spring on fertile, well manured 
 land. For field culture plant in rows three feet apart and one foot 
 in the rows; but for hand culture, one foot by two will answer. The 
 -soil and location itest adapted for strawberry culture will var.v 
 somewhat in different sections. In a general way, any soil that will 
 grow good crops of corn or potatoes will grow good strawberries. 
 One of the first requisites of the ripening fruit is moisture, and care 
 should be taken that this is provided. 
 
 Imperfect 
 
 Blossom 
 
 Mulching to KiH‘p the Fruit Clean. Before the fruit begins to ripen mulch the ground 
 among the plants with short hay or straw. This will not only keep the fruit clean but will 
 prevent the ground from drying and thus lengthen the fruiting season. 
 
 A bed will give two full crops, and should t hen be spaded or plowed down, a new one in 
 the meantime having been prepared to take its place. 
 
 N'oticc. Those sorts marked (P.) are pistillate, and should have a row of some staminate 
 variety planted near to insure proper fertilization and a crop. 
 
 Early 
 
 Bedci-uood. An exceedingly early strawberry. 
 One of the best early berries for home use. 
 Plant is healthy, vigorous growth, and an enor- 
 mous hearer. Berries of large size, regular, 
 roundish form, light scarlet, remaining in fruit 
 a long time. 
 
 Clyde. Few strawberries have given better 
 sati.sfaction in all parts of the country. It is 
 one of the best medium early varieties — is a 
 week earlier than Bubach. and very firm; 
 large, bright scarlet berries of fine flavor. 
 The plants are strong growers — deep rooting, 
 stand drought well, free from rust and dis- 
 ease. 
 
 Crescent Seedling. P. Good size, strong 
 grower, very productive; one of the best for 
 market and garden. 
 
 Micliel (Michel’s Early). Berry medium to 
 large, roundish, bright crimson, firm, fair qual- 
 ity; plant a strong grotver and a good bearer. 
 Valuable on account of its earliness and pro- 
 ductiveness. A fine sort to pollenize early 
 pistillates. 
 
 Sliarplcss. One of the best strawberries in 
 cultivation; has held its reputation better 
 than any other variety. Posses.ses all the good 
 qualities looked for in a strawberry; the best 
 variety for the home garden. A strong grower, 
 productive and largest size.

 Basket of Everbearing 
 Strawberries — Progressive. 
 
 Giiiuly. Large and firm berries, of uniform 
 size and shape. On heavy, rich loams the plant 
 is a marvel of vigor and fruitfulness. The best 
 shipping, long-keeping strawberry, as late as 
 the latest of well-tested sorts. 
 
 Ararsliall. Berries are beautiful and average 
 very large. Invariably captures the prize 
 wherever exhibited. Although of great size, 
 the fruit is rarely ever misshapen. Color is a 
 rich glossy crimson. It will not yield as large 
 a number of berries as some varieties, but 
 when measured in quarts or bushels, will be 
 above the average. The plant is faultless, a 
 strong grower, often standing 20 to 22 inches 
 high, rooting deeply and standing drought well. 
 The large, luxuriant foliage is sufficient to pro- 
 tect the blossom from late frosts. 
 
 ■Sample. I’. An old variety that has scored 
 such success in many places that no progress- 
 ive grower can afford not to plant it. The 
 successful man is he who tests all really prom- 
 ising varieties and quickly finds those the most 
 perfectly suited to his own soil, climate, etc. 
 
 Steven’s Late Champion. One of the best 
 and most popular late varieties grown. Makes 
 .strong, vigorous plants which produce an 
 abundance of fruit. Sends out a great many 
 runners that take root quickly and cover the 
 ground if not restrained. Fruit and blossoms 
 well protected by abundance of foliage. Fruit 
 large, long, slightly flattened. Color is a deep 
 red. the flesh being also red. It ripens all over 
 and is very firm, holding up well after picking. 
 
 Fall or Everbearing Strawberries 
 
 I’i'ogrcssive. A genuine everbearer. We con- 
 sider the best of everbearers. Fruit of medium 
 size, dark red and extra quality. Young plants 
 begin to bear about four weeks from setting; 
 but to obtain good plant beds the blossoms 
 should be kept cut off. especially during the 
 early part of the season. 
 
 .Superb. Another of the fall-bearers. Plants 
 do not produce fruit the first season. The sec- 
 ond season it produces fruit the same as any 
 other variety and in the fall gives a full crop. 
 Fruit is large, dark red; good quality. 
 
 STU.VWBKHKIKS — ( oiitimicd. 
 
 Medium 
 
 Will. Belt. The standard for 
 quality wherever known. For 
 fancy market or home table it 
 is indispensable. 
 
 Btibach. P. A sterling old 
 sort that combines many excel- 
 lent qualities; great and uni- 
 form size, rich color and 
 quality, extraordinary vig- 
 or and fruitfulness, fine 
 foliage that endures 
 the hottest suns. 
 
 Early to medium. 
 
 Boriian. or Vnclc 
 Jim. A western 
 strawberry that is 
 attracting much at- 
 tention for its su- 
 perior merits. Plants 
 robust, with large, 
 healthy foliage. A 
 remarkable drought 
 resister and a reli- 
 able producer of 
 extra large berries 
 of a bright red color 
 and of high quality. 
 
 Glen Mary. One 
 of the best, if ex- 
 traordinarily large 
 size is wanted; good 
 quality and heavy 
 cropper. Cannot be 
 surpassed for home garden and nearby mar- 
 kets. Berries broadly heart-shaped; color 
 dark, glossy crimson; fairly firm and excel- 
 lent quality; plant strong and healthy. 
 
 Havcriand. P. An old standard variety. 
 Does well everywhere. Neither rusts nor 
 shows blight. Is enormously productive. 
 Should be mulched, as the fruit stems are not 
 able to hold the fruit off the ground. Berries 
 long and conical. 
 
 Jessie. Under right conditions is one of the 
 most sati.sfactory varieties produced by com- 
 mercial growers. Extra heavy yielder of high 
 quality fruit and a good pollenizer. 
 
 New York. Originated in the State of New 
 York by Miss Yates. Berries are strictly fancy; 
 large, bright red color; excellent quality; very 
 productive. Seedling of Bubach and Jessie. 
 
 Nick Ohmer. Medium late; a strong, perfect 
 blossom and productive of rich, dark red ber- 
 ries, colored all the way through; flavor deli- 
 cious; berries nearly round; a good shipper, and 
 suitable for fancy trade and table use. 
 
 I’arsoii's Beauty. A new early berry; sym- 
 metrical and handsome in appearance; dark 
 red color; foliage strong, rank, spotless and free 
 from rust; heavy bearer; good market variety. 
 
 Senator Dunlap. This variety is recommend- 
 ed for the average person who wishes to grow 
 .strawberries and has had little experience. It 
 is a very vigorous grower and the berries are 
 of good flavor, good canners and excellent ship- 
 pers. If given only ordinary care the yield 
 will be large and the quality of fruit fair. If 
 the runners are thinned and high culture is 
 given, some of the finest fruit possible to grow 
 can be produced on this variety. 
 
 Wilson. An old standard variety. Very pro- 
 ductive of medium large berries of good qual- 
 ity. Good maker of large plants. 
 
 Late 
 
 Brandywine. One of the reliable fruiting 
 sorts that can be depended on for heavy 
 crops on a variety of soils. Berries very large, 
 broadly heart-shaped, bright red to the center; 
 firmly fleshed and finely flavored.

 Quality 
 
 We beg to quote from an unbiased article which appeared in the “Evening News,” of New- 
 ark, New Jersey, September 28th, 1912: 
 
 “If one should compare the prices in a nur- 
 seryman’s catalogue of a few years ago with 
 the prices of the present season’s list he 
 would find a substantial increase in the cost 
 of all nursery stock. There was a time when 
 the stock could be had for a song, but today 
 well grown trees, shrubs and vines cost 
 money. The day of eight-cent apple trees and 
 five-cent peach trees is over; so is the day of 
 cut prices among reliable nurserymen. 
 
 “The demand for nursery stock has in part 
 been responsible for the advance in prices, 
 but the determination on the part of the nur- 
 serymen to make a reasonable margin of profit 
 from their efforts is the principal reason for 
 the present prices. It costs more money to 
 grow the stock than it did a few years ago. 
 The buyers are more critical in their demands, 
 and the cost of labor, implements, working 
 stock and other accessories is greater. 
 
 “There was a time w'hen almost any kind of 
 stock could be palmed off on the buyer, but 
 not so today. The planter, knowing the value 
 of properly grown plants, demands only the 
 best and will not accept anything but the best. 
 The up-to-date nurserymen, knowing this, use 
 every precaution in the production of their 
 plants and save no expense in producing the 
 kind of stock the pianter desires. In turn, 
 they place the price of their stock on a par 
 with its quality. 
 
 “The buyer who is looking for cheap trees 
 can find them without much effort, but he 
 must remember that QUALITY trees cannot 
 be had at a small cost. QUALITY nursery 
 stock costs money to grow and money to buy. 
 The mere fact that a tree is cheap should 
 stamp it as worthless; on the other hand, an 
 exorbitant price is not an indication of su- 
 perior quality, but more usually an indication 
 
 of fraud. The dollar apple tree may be as 
 worthless as the ten-cent apple tree. Price is 
 not always the ruling factor in QUALITY. 
 
 “The first cost of nursery stock is nothing 
 when QUALITY is considered. Qne could 
 afford to pay S5.00 or $10.00 for a tree if it 
 contained that amount of QUALITY. Ulti- 
 mately fruit trees will be cheap at a dollar 
 each, but not before a dollar’s worth of 
 QUALITY is bred into them. Plant breeding 
 is only beginning to be recognized by nur- 
 serymen generally, and as a consequence the 
 trees being produced today do not possess 
 the QUALITY that their successors will pos- 
 sess. The more care that is taken in pro- 
 ducing the stock, the more it is worth to the 
 planter. 
 
 “Qne can tell whether a tree is healthy, 
 well grown and strong from outward appear- 
 ances, but he cannot tell of its QUALITY and 
 dependableness — the true value of the plant 
 — by looking at it. It requires but a few 
 months to ascertain the value of flower or 
 vegetable seeds or plants, but it takes years 
 to learn if a tree is a heavy producer of fruit 
 that is true to name and of the best quality. 
 Too much care cannot be taken when pur- 
 chasing nursery stock. 
 
 “In buying nursery stock, the planter has 
 but one means of securing the best there is 
 to be had, and that is through dealing with 
 firms known to be absolutely reliable and 
 honest and utilize the most approved methods 
 in propagating and growing their stock. These 
 nurserymen only charge such prices as are 
 consistent with QUALITY and never take ad- 
 vantage of the purchaser. This State is 
 spotted with orchard failures that are due to 
 dealing with unreliable firms or the purchas- 
 ing of cheap nursery stock.” 
 
 The general public is rapidly being educated to the fact that it is RETURNS and not first cost 
 of nursery products which should be the more considered. We positively must ignore 
 Cheap John competition. QUALITY considered, we invite comparison of all phases of the true 
 situation. All things being equal, and in keeping with prevailing exigencies, our quotations 
 bespeak a reasonable price for a good article.
