Industry. This variety, though of English origin, succeeds 

 admirably in the United States, bearing immense crops and 

 free from mildew. It has the peculiar advantage of coming 

 into leaf some time before it flowers; consequently the foliage 

 protects the bloom from destructive spring frosts. It succeeds 

 well under the shade of trees. It has fruited in this country 

 for several years, and has thus far proved unequalled for size, 

 flavor, productiveness and vigorous growth.

BLACKBERRIES. 



Plant in good soil, in rows 5 or 6 feet apart, and 3 or 4 feet 

 apart in the row. After the fruiting season, or in early spring, 

 cut out all the dead wood. Blackberries should be planted 

 early, before the buds start. A good top dressing of stable 

 manure, applied annually, will be conducive to large crops. 

 Keep the ground clean.

JAPANESE MAPLES. 



These little Japanese Maples are exceedingly beautiful plants, especially in spring and early summer, when they burst into full 

 leaf, and the various colors of the foliage are deep and decided. As the summer advances the deep colors fade out very much, 

 l>ut the lace-like foliage retains its beautiful outlines. They also blossom quite prettily in the spring, and in autumn many vari- 

 eties deepen in color and assume very beautiful autumn tints. 



Although hardy as far north as Boston, they are not entirely reliable in the Northwestern States; they seem to attain their great- 

 est perfection in this country along the Middle States. 



We offer 3 distinct varieties, which have been selected for us personally in Japan as the most distinct and beautiful suited to 

 our climate. 



Acer Japonicum Aureum. A charming variety, with scalloped leaves which are of a bright golden yellow. 

 Acer Polymorphum Atropurpureum. This is a dark purple-leaved variety, foliage deeply cut ; very ornamental. 

 A.cer Polymorphum Dissectum Atropurpureum. One of the most striking and handsome varieties of the 

 Japanese Maples ; the leaves are of a beautiful rose color when young and change to a deep and constant purple as they be- 

 come older. They are also deeply and delicately cut, giving them an elegant fern-like appearance. 



50 cts. each; the set of 3 for $1.25.
