VALUABLE ° FRUITS - AND - NUTS. 
ALWAYS on the alert to secure for my friends the most promising of the new fruits. I am 
pleased to announce, that in addition to the many valuable varieties I have placed before the 
public, I now offer some of rare merit, among which I call especial attention to the Bismarck Apple, 
illustrated and described on this page. Strawberry-Raspberry and the Logan Berry illustrated and 
g described on page 112, all being worthy of extended cultivation. 
ae APPLES.“ 
BISMARCK. Bears fruiton one year grafts. Finest quality, finest color. Dwarf and extremely 
prolific. Most suitable apple for hot climate, yet the hardiest known. This most remarkable apple, 
introduced from New Zealand a few years ago through the agency of a celebrated Arboretum in 
Germany, promises to take the place of almost every other apple grown in this country and abroad. 
It has already been fully tested in Russia, Germany, France, England, United States and Canada; and 
wherever grown has proven a most astonishing revelation, not only in high quality, but also in hardi- 
ness and especially in earliness of fruiting. A prominent firm boldly affirms that one year grafts bore 
as many as eight fruits, and two year trees seldom fail to produce good crops, that it is an excessive 
bearer, and extremely hardy. The tree is of stocky short growth and when laden with hand- 
some fruit at oneortwo years old is very desirable as a pot plant for table or greenhouse decora- 
tion. Fruit is large, brilliant color and very handsome. Flesh tender, pleasant subacid of 
distinct and most delicious flavor, unequalled as a dessert apple and very superior for cooking, 
and will keepin anordinaryroom until March. lyearold trees, 50 cents each; 3 for $1.00, postpaid. 
STARR. The perfection of early apples. Another year’s experience with this remarkable 
apple only strengthens our very high opinion of it. It has again produced an abundant crop of 
very large magnificent fruit measuring 11 to 12 inches around early in July, and created a sen- 
sation among fruit growers and market men, as well as the fancy grocers and their customers, 
who eagerly bought them up at high prices, while other good sorts were selling at very low 
5 figures. Its pale green color with beautiful red cheek renders it very attractive. It is very 
@ firm, an excellent stripper and remarkable Keeper, haying remained in good condition in an 
< ordinary room through July, August and September. A very valuable feature for distant 
market. The quality is very good, while for cooking itis unsurpassed. 1 year old trees, 60 cents 
each; 2 for $1.00; $5.00 per dozen, postpaid. 2 yearold trees, stocky well branched, orl yearold top 
buds on 3 year old trees, $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50; $9.00 per dozen, by express at purchaser’s expense. 
PARLIN BEAUTY. Anexceedingly handsome early fall Apple. It originated in Maine, and 
has endured uninjured, very low temperature. Its extreme hardiness will adapt it to the cold 
Northwest, where many of our finest apples will not succeed. The nursery trees are vigorous, 
sturdy growers, maturing their wood and buds so perfectly that the most severe winter failed to 
injure them in the least. They come to bearing young, and always produce good crops 
even when many others are killed. The fruit is medium to large, slightly flattened, of most 
charming shade of yellow ground, striped and splashed with red, so intense on sunny side to 
be almost crimson. Flesh firm, crisp, juicy, mild subacid; very 
good for eating and excellent for cooking; 1 year old trees,60 cents
