Taree Luscious Japan Pius 
OO much cannot be said in favor of these delicious Japan Plums. They make nice little low headed trees, 
and will usually mature a crop the second year after planting. Scarcely any other fruit trees will bear 
so quickly and abundantly, and few fruits are more delicious in flavor and quality. They are espe- 
cially desirable for planting in gardens and yards where there is not room tor large trees; they are easy to 
grow, require no special treatment, and may be depended upon to bear regularly every year. We offer 
three of the very best varieties.

New Japan Plum, The Hale. 
NEW CHERRY, THE MERCER 
This magnificent new cherry originated in Mercer 
County, New Jersey, and, before introducing it, samples 
were sent to leading Pomologists all over the country, all 
of whom pronounced it a new variety, unexcelled in size, 
color and quality. It therefore has the very highest tes- 
monials, andas we get our stock direct from the intro- 
ducer, who grows itfrom buds taken from the original 
tree, there can be no doubt ofits genuineness. This tree 
is now over fifty years old, and yielded in 1897 over thirty 
baskets of cherries, which sold in market at $2.25 each. 
The fruit is of extraordinary size; color, dark glossy red, 
almost black, and unexcelled in quality for table use or 
canning. The tree is vigorous and healthy, and an early 
and prodigious bearer. Bears every year and does not 
rot on the tree, no matter how bad the weather may be. 
The Mercer is undoubtedly the finest all-around cherry 
ever offered for family planting. 30 cts. each, 2 for 
50c, postpaid. $2.50 per doz , by express.

JAPAN GIANT CHESTNUT oma, 
Of the many good fruits introduced from Japan, none are more 
worthy than the Japan Giant Chestnut. The tree is quite ornamental, 
hardy and very productive, of dwarf compact habit, and begins to bear so 
young that the little trees are frequently loaded with fruit while in the 
nursery rows. The nuts are of enormous size, about four times as large as 
the common chestnut, and always sell ata high price. The Japan Giant 
Chestnut is a tree that every one should plant. It is the best chestnut yet 
introduced, and will give immense satisfaction, whether planted for profit 
or for home use. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz., express.
