grown inthissection. It bears every year, and 
& is as prolific as a currant bush. Grows to a 
height of four feet, and has never been affected by 
a insects, black knot or other disease. In addition 
to its immense productiveness of luscious fruits, 
- valuable for pies, sauce or for market, it makes a 
handsome flowering bush with its mass of pure 
white flowers. 50 cents each; 3 for $1.25, postpaid. 
JAPAN QUINCE. COLUMBIA. 
Cydonia (Pyrus) Japonica (Japan Quince) is 
widely known and extensively grown as a very 
showy 2nd popular flowering shrub, producing in 
profusion handsome bloom upon the first ap- | fe ; 
proach of spring and before the foliage appears, (S id Af l IT; , 
making a striking effect. - The fruit from the or- ~ £ S 
® dinary Japan Quince has been so small as to be of 
w little value. By years of careful selection and 
propagation, ; 
Worth with the view of improving the fruit, we have produced 
a the Columbia, a variety rivaling in size and shape the 
Remembering ! famous Belle Flower Apple, ne 9 to 12 Inches 
around. Creamy yellow, with handsome blush; sur-

fume. It cooks as tender as an apple and makesa 
jelly equaled only by the highly-priced guava. 
The tree is entirely hardy, healthy, free from blight, mildew and insect pests, enormously produé 
tive and comes to bearing at two years of age. Small trees two to three teet high being bent to 
the ground with their immense load of handsome fruit, so that in the Columbia Quince we have 
the rare combination of a handsome ornamental plant and most valuable fruit. The Columbia 
attains a height of 6 to8 feet. Price, 1 year old, $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50, postpaid. 
THREE NEW STRAWBERRIES. 
VAN DEMAN. Has been thoroughly tested and received the highest endorsement 
from a great number of Experiment Stations throughout the United States, before being 
offered to the public, establishing the fact that it will succeed over a wide range of the coun- 
try. The plants are vigorous growers andimmensely productive. The fruit is large, ex- 
ceedingly beautiful, of a dark glossy crimson color; firm, fine quality and very attractive. 
Ripens ten days earlier than Crescent. 50 cts. per dozen,postpaid; by express, $2.00 per 100. 
GREENVILLE. Has proven to be one of the very best among 150 varieties 
fruited at the Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station. The Crescent is the only one 
equaling it in productiveness, while but two exceeded itin size. A good grower with 
no inclination torust. 15 cents each; $1.00 per dozen, postpaid. By express, $3.00 per 100. 
TIMBRELL. Plant is a vigorous grower and very prolific; berries large and 
in quality of flavor have no equal; very late. E. S. Carman, of Rural New 
Yorker, says of it: ‘‘As judged by me, Timbrell is the best berry, all things consid- 
ered, I have ever tried. Were I confined to but one berry, it would bethe Timbre!!.” 
Claimed to be the largest, most productive, best flavored and latest berry ever of- 
fered. 25 cts. each; 3 for 60 cts.; $2.00 per doz., postpaid. By express, $10.00 per 100. 
ELEAGNUS LONGIPES. 
This truly magnificent fruit-bearing shrub is deservedly growing more and more 
popular wherever known. The fruit, which is borne in immense profusion, is an attractive feature of 
the plant, and makes a fine sauce. 25 cents each; 3 for 60 cents; $2.00 per dozen, postpaid. 
MAXWELL’S EARLY BLACKBERRY. 
It would be difficult to over-estimate the value of a Blackberry as large or larger than Wilson's Early, 
and ripening as early as Early Harvest, and this is claimed for Maxwell’s Early. Very large, sweet, rich 
luscious, melting in your mouth. No core whatever. Very productive, ripening just before strawberries 
are gone, or at thesame time as Lucretia Dewberry and Early Harvest Blackberry, but is three times as 
large as the latter, lasting until late blackberries are gone, producing large, luscious fruit in immense 
profusion the entire season, from very earliest to latest. 25 cts. each; 3 for 60 cts.; $2.00 per doz., postpaid. 
LINCOLN CORELESS WINTER PEAR. 
Claimed to be the largest, the handsomest, the latest, the best keeper, the best shipper, the best quality 
ofits season, and entirely free from core or seeds. Tree entirely hardy and magnificent grower. The 
wonderful and remarkable late winter pear originated in Lincoln county, Tenn. The original tree can be 
traced back for sixty years, during which time it has seldom failed to bear a heavy crop. Though 
scarcely more than a shell, it has remained free from blight xnd annually borne fruit, until last summer 
when we were informed, it being overloaded with fruit, it died from sheer exhaustion. We sre since 
advised that, due to its great vitality, it revived from its apparent death and is again ina vigorous con- 
dition. The young trees show the same remarkable vigor. are good®growers, wood dark, foliage large, 
healthy and entirely free from blight, leaf-rust or mildew. The fruit is very large and matures late, at 
which time it is hard and green; but when putaway and kept during winter, gradually mellows, be 
comes highly colored, juicy, rich, and of a delicate aromatic flavor. The Lincoln Coreless keeps longer 
than any other variety known, having been kept in good condition until March. The flesh is of a rich 
yellow tint, having neither seed nor core, and can be preserved whole. Occasionally a specimen will have 
a rudimentary seed or two, which are merely black specks, 1l-vear-old trees, $1.00 each; 8 for $2.50, postpaid 
2-year-old or top-worked, $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00, Ly Xpress at purchasers expense.
