Pomona United Nurseries Everything Needed for Orchard and Garden Shipped C. O. D. Spring DANSVILLE, N. Y. 1922 POMONA UNITED NURSERIES, DANSVILLE, N. Y. SPRING 1922 Upon Arrival Heel in the Trees Temporarily Nursery stock intended for spring planting should be ordered early to insure delivery in time for planting. As soon as received by the planter, the trees should be removed from the box or bale, bunches cut apart at the bottom and heeled in until ready to plant. Dig a trench of sufficient width to hold the roots of a row of trees and deep enough so that when the trench is filled the roots will be covered with about two feet of earth. If this work is properly done trees may be left for reasonably long periods without injury. To insure prompt service, order early. The spring season is a busy time with the nurseryman and he can give better attention to the orders received before the rush season begins. “The roots of early planted trees throw out their feeders before the buds open. Such trees make a heavier growth. They get a stronger hold upon the soil, and are better able to endure the hot, dry summers.” — G. B. Brackett U. S. Pomologist, U. S. D. A., Washington, D. C. Our Shipping Season We pack and ship all winter to Southern States. Our regular Spring packing and shipping •season usually opens here about the first of April, and continues into the month of May. The planting season is not regulated by any particular month or day, nor by the state of vegetation where the planting is to be done, but by the condition of the trees to be planted. Hence, trees can be sent with safety from Dansville, N. Y., to localities several degrees south, even if they do not arrive until the ordinary transplanting season in that locality is passed. What Trees to Plant The true standard upon which to purchase is the age. The two-year old tree is usually the best for commercial planting although one-year-olds are quite generally used. In ordering nursery stock deal direct with the grower rather than through agents. State the kind of trees wanted, be willing to pay a fair price for the right kind and varieties. Take good care of them upon arrival to assure healthy growth when they are planted. . The Fruit Tree is a symbol of home and comfort and good cheer. It is the emblem of good works By the woodshed or the pump, or against the barn or over the garden fence, the fruit tree connects the residence with the world of life. Every day of the year is in its fabric, and every essence of wind and sun and snapping frost is in its blossom and its fruit. Prices of Nursery Stock It hardly seems necessary to say anything about the prices printed in this catalog, but owing to the great scarcity of nursery stock there are so many poor trees, trees not true to name — trees with poor root system— trees four, five and six years old, listed as bearing age and affect- ed in one way or another, being offered for sale, that we feel compelled to ask our customers to consider quality and to remember that we sell nothing but the best one and two year trees of the size listed. All Trees are strictly first class of the grade offered, well rooted and branched, fresh dug, and guaranteed to please. Consolidation Announcement The business, including lists of customers and good will of the Pomona Nurseries Sheerin’s Wholesale Nurseries Wells Wholesale Nurseries has been consolidated and will hereafter be conducted under the title of POMONA UNITED NURSERIES This consolidation, brought about through the financial co-operation of several of Dansville’s leading business men, tends towards greater economies of management and adds greatly to the facilities and strength of the business. The active management will be under the charge of F. W. Wells, who has been actively interested in the nursery business for thirty- two years as producer and seller of nursery stock direct to the planter. In making this consolidation we were conscious of the fact that by far the most valued asset of any concern is its satisfied customers and it was in full confidence that the list of customers of the nurseries consolidated would continue loyal to the new concern that we were prompted to engage in the enterprise Recognizing the fact that in mail order business in general there is a growing tendency toward the C. 0. D. method of delivery, we have adopted the policy of offering to deliver all orders on a C. 0. D. basis. References Notwithstanding the fact that it is our policy to sell on a C. 0. D. delivery basis we cheerfully refer you as to our responsibility to any bank or business man here in Dansville, or if desired we can doubtless refer you to customers in your immediate vicinity.

ORDERS Plant Enough Fruit at Least For Family Use Over in Scotland, there is a familiar saying running like this “Be aye stickin” in a tree: it will be growin’ while you’re sleep- in’. If we gave this more consideration there would be more rural places adding materially to their attractiveness, and their larder as well, in fruit season. Nothing on the ground so nearly completed the home as the addition of a good fruit supply— apples particularly. If judiciously planted they may be enjoyed from season to season in their own fresh state. The word “Orchard” is defined as a “garden of fruit trees” as a garden is a space of a few feet or acres, even so an orchard may be of some half dozen or hundreds of trees. Thus an orchard is within the means of the average man, and the most modest rural place has bits of ground where an apple orchard might be thriving, its branches spreading for beauty, profit and material benefit. r L No . 2418 STATE OF NEW YORK Department of Farms and Markets DIVISION OF AGRICULTURE Certificate of Inspection of Nursery Stock TV ■ to certify that the stock in the nursery of the Pomona United Nurseries.

Their low broad heads are within reach, so that apples or pears can be easily picked. You can plant your gar- den full of dwarf fruit trees and still grow strawberries and vege- tables. With dwarfs some varie- ties will bear the second year, and will bear a full crop the fourth year. The use of dwarf trees is pears. While more dwarf trees can be planted upon an acre, and larger fruit can be produced, still they have not found favor among commercial orchardists except in a few sections where an extra high grade fruit is desirable. Dwarf trees are secured by propa- gating upon a slow growing rout. We offer the best trees budded on Paradise or Doucin stocks. They will succeed in many places where standard trees fail. We can supply in the following varieties: Yellow Transparent, Gravenstein, Baldwin, McIntosh, Alexander, Duchess, Grimes’ Golden, Yellow Belleflower, Twenty Ounce, Delicious, Wagener, Jonathan, Wealthy, Opalescent, Red Astrachan.

To secure healthy, vigorous and fruitful trees, the ground must be kept clean and mel- low and it should receive an occasional dress- ing of wood ashes. It should be remembered that peaches are all borne on wood of the prev- ious season’s growth, and that this makes it absolutely necessary to prune the trees yearly, to remove dead branches and let in light and air, and keep the trees in good shape to pro- duce bearing wood.

Trees BARTLETT (The Kin* of Pears) Bartlett — Large, coloring when fully ripe to waxen yellow with red blush; juicy, melting, highly flavored. The tree bears early and abundantly. May be grown either as dwarf or standard, but succeeds best as standard. Aside from the fact that it bears early, regularly and abundantly, the Bartlett pear is justly poplar on account of its size, beauty and excellence. It originated in Berkshire, Eng., about 1770. When introduced to this country its name was lost. Since it was cultivated and discriminated by Enoch Bartlett, it became universally known as the Bartlett. Aug. and Sept. Seckel — Small size; yellowish russet, with red cheek; flesh whitish, buttery, very juicy and melting. The richest and finest variety known and extensively planted all over the country.

They can be planted very closely together and kept headed back. There is scarce- ly a city or town lot so small that room cannot be found for a few dwarf fruit trees. Their hardi- ness makes it possible for anybody, anywhere, to produce delicious fruits.

In many instances it is possible to buy a better quality of trees and plants by mail than can be procured in other ways. The greater portion of our business is transacted through the mails. The planter in California can purchase with as great an assurance of sat- isfaction as if he personally selected his trees and plants. Trees and Plants ordered are personally selected. One from our office, who has spent an entire lifetime in the business, carefully selects the trees and plants and follows instructions closely. Our method of packing enables us to ship to remote sections with great success. We believe that we give more attention to digging and packing than is customary. Our Mail Order Trees and Plants are flourishing in localities where the smoke of the railroad engine is never seen, and at other distant points where railroad charges would deter you from ordering.
