SUBSCIRPTIONS ARE NOW DUE, 



And should be sent in at once, naming at the same time the choice of plant for testing ; other- 

 wise we cannot guarantee that any plant will be sent. 



We give below the list of plants which we propose to send out next April or May. Con- 

 tracts for them have been made with reliable nurserymen, and we hope they will give satisfaction. 

 It will be understood that these are all of a size, small enough to be sent by mail. 



1— Russian Apricot. 4— Shaffer Raspberry (four tip plants). 



2— Simon's Plum. 5— Wealthy Apple. 



3— John Hopper Rose. 6— Bubach No. 5 Strawberry (four plants). 



7— Richardi Alba-Maculata, or Spotted Calla. 



Any one sending in new names may have an additional choice of plants for each new name 

 in place of commission, if preferred. Note well the condition on which these plants are sent 

 out, viz. : that a report concerning their success be given the Secretary when thoroughly tested. 



NOTE. — Each subscriber will please notice that the Fruit Growers' Association does not 

 guarantee anything concerning the merits of the above list of plants, but simply sends them out 

 on the recommendation of their introducers to be tested by the members and reported upon for 

 the benefit of the public.
