FRANK BASSETT. 



This most valuable winter apple was first brought to my notice by the 

 gifted young man whose name it bears, and whose untimely death is a lament- 

 able loss to horticulture and floriculture. I have carefully watched the variety 

 for a number of years and its sterling merits lead me to the belief that ere 

 long it will excel in popularity as a market fruit, the famous Ben Davis and 

 all other winter apples now in cultivation. In additiOQ to possessing all the 

 valuable properties of the Ben Davis in beauty and keeping qualities, it is also 

 of high, rich quality. A valuable feature is that it is invariably smooth and 

 perfect. In size and form it is large to very large, globular, tapering slightly 

 toward the blossom end, and deep, brilliant red in color. Tree of vigorous 

 upright growth and a heavy every year bearer (no off years with it) and comes 

 into bearing early. With only ordinary care it will keep in good condition 

 until July. 1 yr. trees, ea. 30c; 3 for 75c; doz. $2.50 {by mail). 



BISMARCK. 



This wonderful new apple has already attained great celebrity in. this 

 country and in England. Not only are great numbers being planted, but old 

 orchards are being extensively grafted with it, so popular is it becoming. In 

 New Zealand, from whence it was introduced a few years ago, it is the leading 

 Apple, and more trees of it alone are planted than of all other varieties com- 

 bined. The remarkable properties, which have given it this great promineace 

 are its great hardiness, being also the most suitable Apple for hot climates; itB 

 extreme earliness of fruiting, bearing abundantly on one-year grafts; its large 

 size, handsome form and fine color; and its dwarf habit and great yield. The 

 fruit is of the largest size, of a beautiful bright red, and of a most distinct 

 flavor. It comes into bearing at one or two years old and may be easily 

 grown in pots for table or greenhouse decoration. Just the Apple to have in 

 small gardens, where space is limited, bearing most profusely its beautiful, 

 large, showy fruit. Ripens early and keeps well into March. One of the most 

 desirable and valuable Apples that has ever been introduced. 1 yr. trees (only) 

 ea., 25c; 3 for 60c ; doz. $2.00 {by mail).

KOONCE. 



The best and most valuable of all the early pears. Most of those of any value introduced during the past 

 few years have been deflcient in some essential quality, notably that of size, but in Koonce we find a nearer 

 approach to perfection than in any other. The fruit is medium to large, golden yellow with red cheek, of good 

 quality— much better than other earlv pears and does not rot at the core. The tree is a vigorous upright grow- 

 er entirelv free from blight, and a heavy annual bearer, the fruit clustering thickly about the branches in aston- 

 ishing profusion. Ripens between Doyenne d'Ete and Bloodgood, and is much larger than either. Standard, 

 FirstClass, ea., 5()c; 3 for $1.25. w-^ ^ « 



SENECA. 



Resembles Bartlett but of a higher color and ripens over a month later. It is an acquisition of great value 

 to the autumn pears and is highly appreciated where known. The fruit is large and solid, obovate-pyriform,
