Patentee of Phillips' Fruit Evaporator, 



Which was successful at Smyrna, Del., Aug. 31st and Sept. 1st, 1882, in a trial contest of SlOO forfeit with the Williams' 

 Evaporator, manufactured and managed in the contest by S. E. & J. M. Sprout. The Phillips is made in 2 sizes; large 

 size has large capacity ; l)oth have patent iron tray frames. No wood used inside Evaporator. So many Evaporators 

 with wood tray frames have burnt that insurance is doubtful. Risk of fire burning fruit, hard labor in tending and close 

 watching are of the past, with a bright future. Circulars of Trees and Evaporators free.

CHEAP TREES AND SHRUBS. 



It is now well known that there is as much difference in the quality of trees as in the quality of dry goods. A yard 

 may he worth ten cents, or it may be worth a dollar. So the ten-cent tree may be a dear tree, while the dollar one be 

 cheap. A tree which dies is a dear tree at any price— and not much less dear is one which lives, but is stunted for years 

 afterwards. Even under the most favorable condition trees will sometimes die, but the chances are reduced by getting 

 the best trees. 



We have trees so low in price that they barely pay the cost of digging, for those who prefer to take the risk— others, 

 frequently transplanted, at somewhat higher prices, but still cheap in proportion to qtiality. 



Our priced Catalogue, wholesale and retail, is now ready. Our collection, embracing over one thousand items, ha» 

 been too large to give it in the form of a descriptive list ; but a new featttre of the present one is an attempt to make it 

 somewhat more of a descriptive catalogue than has been hitherto thought possible.
