WILEY & SON, CAYUGA, N. Y. Cayuga Nurseries We have extensive plantings also at Newark, Rochester and Dansville, N. Y. INTRODUCTION We are pleased to hand you our priced catalog for 1910. We feel under many and renewed obligations to our numerous customers for tlicir continuous patronage during the years we have tried to serve them. Most of all we appreciate the kindly interest denionstratcd by many of our patrons in advertising our trees among their friends and neighbors. It is our purpose to continue to furnish you with only the best and at as low cost as we can, consistent with high quality. NEW STORAGE Our new storage (see cut) will allow us to handle from one-third to one-half more business than ever before in the same length of time. In other words we are better prepared than ever to take care of your orders. Our system of disposing of our trees direct to the planter with a guarantee of satisfaction is, we believe, the most practical and cheapest way for the planter. Do not overlook our hints on transplanting and after care. This is more fully set forth in our eighty page descriptive catalog which will be mailed to customers on request. Our diagram explanatory of the filler system we introduce on another page be- cause it brought us last year so many thanks from people who did not seem to know what the filler system signified. mo. 100 state of IRew lorft department of agriculture CERTIFICATE OF INSPECTION OF NURSERY STOCK This is to certify that the stock in the nursery of H. S. Wiley & Son of Cayuga, County of Cayuga, State of New York, was duly examined in compliance with the pro- visions of Section 83 of the Agricultural Law, and it was found to be apparently free from any contagious or infectious disease or diseases, or the San Jose scale or other dangerously injurious insect pest or pests. This certificate expires September 1, 1910. Dated, Albany, N. Y., Sept. 10, 1909. R. A. PE.^RSON, Commissioner of Agriculture. Old Customers. Nothing affords us more pleasure than to receive year after year orders from the same persons. While we are very anxious for new customers, the annual return of the old ones gives us much satisfaction; the fact of our retaining our customers so universally is a strong proof why you, who have never tried our stock, might do so to advantage. A Standing Advertisement. It has been truthfully said that a satisfied customer is a good advertisement. We could introduce many letters like the following: "My trees showed fruit this year and every one is true to name." It seems to us that this is the real test. Does it signify anything to you who have never tried our trees? Much disappointment is ex- perienced in buying inferior stuff; a poor tree is dear property at any price. It is always well to remember in buying trees that there are as many different qualities as in cloth or leather. Start right with stock carefully grown and carefully handled, true to label, and the results will be satisfactory. Establiihed by John Morse in 1847 2 H. S. WILEY & SON, CAYUGA, N. Y. ■ FUMIGATION All stock thoroughly fumigated with hydrocyanic acid gas unless otherwise ordered. Some who are quite determined not to go to this expense claim it is injurious to stock. The highest authorities in the United States, after most thorough tests, advocate this practice as the most effective way to rid trees and plants of the numerous insect pests to which they are subject. No orchardist of intelligence will plant trees unless they have been fumigated. It is safer for you to place your order with one who willingly fumi- gates, than to send it elsewhere. Our system of fumigation, together with careful State inspection, should make you feel safe in placing your order with us. See Certificate on page 1. Hints on Transplanting, Etc. Preparation of the Soil — Prepare a rich, deep bed of mellow soil, and have the land sufficiently 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. Preparation of Trees or Other Stock — We use great care in digging and packing, but the loss of some small roots and fibers is unavoidable. If stock is properly pre- pared before it is planted, no permanent injury will result from this, but the preserva- tion of the natural balance between top and roots renders a vigorous cutting back of the former absolutely necessary in most cases. And, therefore, prune off broken ends of roots, if any (a smooth cut root granulates or makes ready to extend sooner than one broken off), cut back the tops to the extent of about one-half the previous season's growth, taking care at all times to prune in such a manner as will tend to develop a well-formed head, sufficiently open to admit air and light freely. Evergreen and other ornamental trees, the beauty of which depends on preserving their natural form, should be pruned very little. Hence, great pains should be taken in planting and caring for these. If not ready to plant when the stock arrives, "heel it in" by placing the roots in a trench and covering them with mellow earth, well packed. 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 this should be carefully worked among them. If the ground is dry it is well to pour in some water when the hole is partially filled. See that the groimd is firmly and solidly packed over all parts of the roots by exerting the full weight of the planter upon it, so that there will be no opportunity 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 frequent cause of failure in planting nursery stock. Fill the holes full enough to be even with the surrounding sur- face after the fresh earth settles. Always remove the label when planting. If this is left until the tree is grown, the connecting wire often cuts into and destroys the tree or branch to which it may be attached. When planting dwarf trees set them low enough to cover the stock upon which they are budded, three or four inches. 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 extent of the roots. This keeps the earth moist and even temperature. After-Culture — Grass should not be allowed to grow about young trees or plants. The ground should be cultivated for a space of at least a 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 purpose of the planter. It should be done regularly every spring before the buds swell any. In this way the removal of large branches will be avoided. H. S. WILEY & SON, CAYUGA, N. Y. 3 Fall Planting — When planted in the fall, all trees should be banked up at least one ' foot high until spring. This overcomes the tendency of the trees to heave out, pro- tects them from mice and prevents the roots from freezing before they have taken hold of the soil. In planting roses, shrubs, vines, and other delicate stock in the fall, the tops should be nearly or quite buried with mellow earth during the first winter. The surplus earth should be removed early in the spring. Injured Trees — If trees are received in a frozen state, place the package unopened in a cellar, away from frost and heat, until thawed out and then unpack. If partially dried from long exposure, bury entirely in the ground or place in water from 12 to 24 hours. PLANT YOUNG TREES We cannot too strongly recommend our customers to procure young trees, espe- cially for orchard planting. They cost less, they can be taken up with more perfect roots, are much more likely to live, and will become sooner established in a new loca- tion. They can also be more readily trained to any desired shape. The largest and most successful planters invariably select young, thrifty trees. We would call special attention to the young stock offered on page 16.

X o X o X o X O X o o o o o o o o o X o X o X 0 X O X o o o o o o o o o X o X o X o X O X NOTE— The above was first introduced in our 1908 catalog. It brought so many favorable com- ments from people who did not understand the plan of setting fillers among permanent trees that we again give it space. The editor of the "Rural New Yorker" in commenting on it said: "It is excellent, the clearest description of how to plant fillers among permanent trees I have seen." THE FILLER SYSTEM— See Diagram Above The most modern method of planting Apple Orchards in Western New York, called the Filler System- is indicated by the diagram on page 8. The cross X represents the permanent tree of whatever variety selected, to be planted 40 or 50 feet apart each way as the planter may choose. The circle O represents the filler or early fruiting variety, as Duchess, Ben Davis, Wealthy (if of apple), or whatever variety may be considered by the planter most profit- able. Not unfrequently the planter chooses to fill with Peach or sometimes with Pear. If permanent trees are planted 40 feet each way it will readily be seen that when the orchard is completed the trees will stand 20 feet each way; this is called the Filler Sys- tem. In using this plan it is the purpose of the planter to cut out the fillers when, or before, they begin to crowd the permanent trees. The advantage is to use all the ground and secure as many crops of fruit from the filler as possible before they interfere with the permanent trees. 8 H. S. WILEY & SON, CAYUGA, N. Y.

PEACHES The ease with which Peach trees may be cultivated, their comparative freedom from disease, the short period before they become productive, with the immense demand for the fruit, and the facility with which it may be shipped to distant markets, make Peach- growing extremely profitable. To secure healthy, vigorous and fruitful trees the ground must be kept clean and mellow, and it should receive an occasional dressing of wood ashes. It should be remembered that Peaches are all borne on wood of the previ- ous season's growth, and that this makes it absolutely necessary to prune the tree year- ly, to remove dead branches, to let in light and air, and to keep the trees in good shape to produce bearing wood.

PLUMS On a strong clay soil the Plum grows most thriftily, and suffers least from "cur- culio" and "black-knot." By giving a little extra care there is no difficulty in protecting the crop of Plums from attacks of curculio. Immediately after the trees have blossomed, and when the fruit is in its first stages of growth, make the ground clean and smooth under each tree, and spread a sheet upon it, so that it will extend as far as the outside edge of the outer branches; then suddenly jar the tree, so as to shake down all tlie stung fruit and insects, which shoukl be de- stroyed. If this operation be carried on daily for a short time, it will insure a ful' crop of delicious Plums, and will repay t'.ic little daily attention given. It is very mv portant that tliis should be done early in the morning, while the insects are sluggish. General List of Plums— Large Size Trees Price, 35 cents each; $3 50 per dozen; *■ $22.00 per 100.

The introduction of the Japan varieties of Plums has placed be- fore us a class of fruits that are in many respects very desirable, and in many localities they are fast sup- planting the old European kinds.
