HAMMER. 



An American variety of enormous productiveness 

 and so attractive as to make it a quick seller in market. 

 The fruit is large, longish-oval, pale red, thin skin and 

 of extra fine quality; clingstone. It is so good and 

 yields so much fruit that it should be popular in the 

 home garden. Ripens last of August. 1st c, ea., 30c; 

 3 for 75c; doz., $2.50; 100, $15.00. J. B., ea., 20c; 3 

 for 50c; doz., $1.50; 100, $8.00. 



Of immense value for its very early ripening. 

 It is the best in quality of any of the early Japa- 

 nese varieties and is exceptionally free from rot. 

 The fruit is medium to large, roundish-conical, 

 deep purplish red, covered with bloom, very hand- 

 some and attractive; flesh pale yellow, firm and 

 meaty, excellent in quality; half cling. Tree 

 strong, hardy and spreading, immensely produc- 

 tive and comes into bearing in two or three years. 

 Being the earliest, except one, of all the Japanese 

 Plums, free from rot, firm, fine and abundant, 

 We predict for it a popularity among orchardists 

 for market growing, and we especially commend 

 it to the amateur for its very early supply of de- 

 licious plums. At the Southwest, where it is bet- 

 ter known, it is spoken of as "the most valuable 

 market plum produced up to this time." 1st c, 

 ea., 25c; 3 for 60c; doz., $2.00: 100, $12.00. Med- 

 , 12c; 3 for 30c; doz., $1.00; 100, $0.00. 



WH1TAKER. 



A much better Plum than Wild Goose, and of the 

 same class, reliable in bearing and very productive. 

 The fruit is large, bright red, very attractive and of 

 fine quality. A profitable Plum giving quick returns, 

 lstc, ea., 30c; 3 for 75c; doz., $2.50; 100, $15.00. J.

PLUM STOCKS. 



We have a very nice stock of handsome Plum Seedlings which we can furnish to those who desire them, so 

 long as our supply lasts, either Mariana or Myrobolan as preferred, at $1.25 per 100, $10.00 per 1000. 



CHERRIES. 



Plant Hearts and Bigarreaus 20 feet apart each way, and Dukes and Morellos 12 to 15 feet. 

 Cherries will not succeed on wet soil. The class Hearts and Bigarreaus or "sweet cherries" are even more 

 unlike the class Dukes or Morellos or "sour cherries" in habit of tree and growth than in fruit. The trees of the 

 sweet class are to be preferred for shade, for which purpose they are excellent. 

 First class, 5 to 7 ft., ea., 25c; doz., $2.50; 100, $10.00. Select, 6 to 8 ft., ea., 30c; doz., $3.00; 100, $12.00. 



DUKES AND MORELLOS.

 plish-red; flesh red; juicy, mild, sub-acid. Late. 



M ay Duke. Large; dark red, nearly black when ripe, 

 melting, rich, juicy 2 excellent; popular, reliable. Early. 



Montmorency Ordinaire. Large; bright red; acid;

 choice variety of French origin. Early.

PLYMOUTH ROCK. 



The introduction of this unique variety has overcome 

 the two greatest obstacles to the successful growing of 

 light colored cherries — the depredations of the destruc- 

 tive birds who take our choicest cherries, and the quick 

 decay of the fruit when ripe, whether gathered or upon 

 the tree. The fruit remains upon the tree when ripe or 

 after gathered, in perfect condition longer than any 

 other variety we have ever seen, although an amber va- 

 riety ; and for some unknown reason its fruit is never 

 molested by birds. The cherries are large, bright am- 

 ber largely overspread with carmine, of high quality, 

 sweet, rich, sprightly, juicy and tender, with small 

 stone; an excellent shipper and unsurpassed as a long 

 keeper, remaining in good condition for a long time 

 (we have carried it over two hundred miles and kept it in 

 perfect condition, with no extra care, for a week). The 

 tree is a strong, healthy grower, begins bearing young 

 and is a heavy annual bearer. As a desirable fruit for 

 the home grounds we are confident it is without an 

 equal; but its greatest value is for market growing— 

 for there is nothing in the way of cherries that can be 

 compared with it for profit. First class, ea., 30c; 3 for 

 75c: doz., $2,50; 100. $15.00. Select, ea., 40c; 3 for 

 $1.00; doz., $3.00; 100, $20.00. 1 yr. ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; 

 doz., $2.00 (by mail).
