Which we strongly recommend.

 patrons. We consider all worthy of careful trial. 



NOTE THE REDUCTION IN PRICES. 



New Seedling Apple, Barry. 



We take great pleasure in offering this fine new seedling apple. It was raised in our nurseries 

 several years ago and has been thoroughly tested, so that we have no hesitation in recommending it to 

 our customers as a novelty of sterling merit. Fruit oblate conical, yellow ground marbled with carmine 

 on sunny side ; flesh firm, crisp, acid ; quality good. A great keeper, lasting in perfection till June. 

 Tree a vigorous grower. $i.oo. 



NEW SEEDLING APPLE, BARRY. (Reduced.) 



New Fall Pear, Lady Clapp. 



A seedling raised by the late Lemuel Clapp. A large, very handsome pear. Clean, smooth 

 skin, beautiful yellow when ripe; flesh very juicy, melting, vinous; quality first rate. Ripens from 

 middle to end of September, following the Bartlett, and a good sort to succeed that variety on account 

 of its size and fine color, which is the same as Bartlett. A splendid pear and a decided acquisition to 

 the list of varieties ripening at that season. Tree a good grower. $i.oo. 



New Fall Pear, Madame Hemminway. 



A handsome and showy new American pear, skin entirely covered with a dull russet ; flesh melt- 

 ing, moderately juicy and flavor good, rather sweet. A promising variety. Ripens middle of 

 September. $1.00.
