 largely planted sweet cherry 

 in the East. Early purple.

 — Bright red, very acid; ex- 

 tremely prolific; popular. 



Montmorency (Sour). — 

 The most largely planted of 

 the sour varieties.

PLUMS 



Plant 20 feet apart each way. 

 trees, each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00. 



Abundance (Japanese). — Early. ^ Amber, 

 much covered with carmine. Very juicy and 

 of excellent quality; heavy annual bearer. 



Bradshaw. — Early. Purple with bloom. Very 

 large. Reliable, but of only fair quality. 



Burbank (Japanese). — Ripens late in August. 

 Inclined to overbear, but when properly thinned 

 produces fruit of immense size. Cherry-red 

 with deep yellow flesh; sweet, meaty. 



Grand Duke. — A large purple variety that 

 does not rot upon the tree. Reliable. Late. 



Lombard. — Midseason. A very reliable and 

 popular variety. It is very prolific. 



Red June. — Extra early! Fruits heart-shaped, 

 garnet-red overlaid with delicate bloom. Sweet 

 flesh of peculiarly aromatic, almost spicy, flavor. 

 Clings well to stone and fruit clings well to 

 tree. Almost immune to diseases to which most 

 plums are heir. 



DWARF PEAR TREES YIELD HAND 

 SOME CROPS FROM SMALL SPACE 



First-class 



DWARP PEARS 



These are especially rfse- 

 ful in gardens of lirnited di- 

 mensions, one especially de- 

 sirable trait being that they 

 start bearing almost im- 

 mediately, frequently the 

 same season planted. 



Plant 10 feet apart each 

 way. 



We have them in all the 

 following varieties, viz.: 

 Angouleme, Anjou, Bartlett, 

 Clapp's Favorite and Seckel. 



Splendid trees, all two 

 years old or older, each, 

 $1.50; dozen, $15.00. 



PEARS (Standard) 



Plant 20 feet apart each 

 way. 



First-class trees, each, 

 $1.50; dozen, $15.00. 



ANGOULEME (DUCH- 

 ESSE). — Autumn. Green, 

 very large, coarse grained 

 but juicy. 



ANJOU. — Late autumn. 

 Green with red cheek; high 

 quality, juicy and melting; 

 strong-growing tree; pro- 

 lific. 



BARTLETT. — Summer, yellow; widely 

 grown and the most popular of all varieties. 



CLAPP'S FAVORITE.— Early summer. 

 Green with red cheek; large, juicy, melting; 

 prolific; decays quickly when ripe. 



KIEFFER.— Autumn. Yellow, with red 

 cheek, coarse grained and of poor quality; 

 handsome tree and very prolific. 



SECKEL.— Early autumn. Dull red, with 

 much russet; small; of high quality. 



About PEACH Trees.— We have come to 

 the conclusion that it is too risky to trans- 

 plant Peaches in the fall, hence will not offer 

 them until next spring. Except in the South, 

 the loss of fall-planted Peach trees, due to 

 winter killing, is out of all proportion to 

 benefits derived from fall planting. 



QUINCES

 First-class trees, each, $1.25; dozen, $12.50. 

 CHAMPION. — Late. Greenish yellow; large.
