Beaute de Villecante 



This fine Peony was our principal cut of Pink this season in time for Decoration Day. It 

 also is an old standby of the Paris (France) cut flower market. A very bright and showy 

 rose-pink. Among the first to bloom. Without a yellow stamen. The last two springs have 

 not developed all varieties to good advantage, but Beaute de Yillecante has had, for 

 many years, a good bloom on every stalk. 



We have a large stock of this splendid variety and can make a low price so long as

strong divided roots, $7.00 per lOO. 



All other standard varieties at right prices, which includes our unparalleled guarantee.

Mention The- R.-i* 



rhort von write- 



that if he buys from the list he will 

 get ' ' % and up ' ' trees, and not from 

 the size of a lead pencil to the size of 

 one's wrist, simply because they have 

 attained the required height. The most 

 of our nurserymen are now grading by 

 both height and caliper, and every one 

 must do it if he would retain the bet- 

 ter trade and meet competition. 



With the slight difference in the sys- 

 tem of grading as now done by the 

 east, south, north and west, we should 

 have no trouble in agreeing upon a 

 uniform standard, adopting it and then 

 living up to it. The present system 

 of grading two-year apple, cherry, 

 pear and plum is practically the same 

 everywhere. The only difference is on 

 peach, one-year plum and apricot. 

 Those that grow the heavier peach can 

 and should be willing to cut the grade 

 a little, as it will give them more num- 

 ber one. 



A Proposed System of Grading. 



Now, in order to get this question 

 properly before this association, and to 

 promote its discussion and at least get 

 some action, I make the following mo- 

 tion: 



That this association adopt for Its standard 

 grades the following on fruit trees: 



Apple — 



% Inch and np 5-6 ft. 



%-% Inch 4-6 ft. 



H-% Inch 4-6 ft. 



%-% Inch 3-4 ft. 



Cherry — 



% inch and np 4H-6 ft. 



%-% Inch 4 -5 ft. 



%-% Inch 3 -4 ft. 



%-% Inch 2 -3 ft. 



Plum, 2-ye*r — 



% Inch and np 5 -6 ft. 



%-% Inch 4V4-6 ft.
