Nursery Department. 



HAVING engaged the services of an experienced nurseryman, we are now prepared to furnish 

 our patrons with a full line of Fruit, Shade and Ornamental trees and Roses at greatly 

 reduced prices, and saving to the customer the agents' commissions. Our stock will be first-class 

 in every respect, as we deal only with the best houses. 

 Special prices in large lots. 



As our space is limited we will describe a few of the choicest kinds, but give below the names 

 of other varieties well known to the public. 



When the purchaser is not well acquainted with the fruit by name, he would do well to leave 

 the selection to us, briefly stating at what season he wishes the fruit to ripen; and in such case we 

 will exercise our best judgment in making a judicious and profitable selection of the standard 

 sorts of good trees. 



Prompt attention will be given to all letters requesting information. 



It is expected that orders for trees from those with whom we have no acquaintance will be 

 accompanied with the cash or a suitable reference. 



Our customers are requested to notify us instantly of any errors that may be committed in fill- 

 ing their orders, so that we may at once make ample amends, as we desire to conduct our business 

 in all respects satisfactorily to those who favor us with their confidence. 



Address all orders for Nursery Stock to Nursery Department,

PEACHES. 



Crosbey. (Excelsior. Frost Proof.) — This valuable 

 peach has been tested for ten years in the bleakest parts 

 of New England, and in each case has proved itself to be 

 first-class in every way. In ]8S6 and in 1890, when there 

 was a total failure of the peach crop from the late frost, 

 the Crosbey bore its regular heavy crop. Being almost 

 frost proof it should be planted generally. The fruit is 

 medium size, bright yellow, splashed and streaked with 

 carmine on the sunny side; the flesh is firm, sweet and de- 

 licious; stone very small; an enormous bearer. It ripens 

 between Early and Late Crawford. 50 cts. each. $4.75 

 doz. 



Champion.— This new peach comes from Illinois, rec- 

 ommended as an ironclad against frost, as in 1890, when 

 there was a total failure of the peach crop, it bore heavily. 

 It has stood a temperature of 18 below zero and bore well 

 the following season. Fruit is of large size; skin creamy 

 white, with red cheek, the flesh is white, rich and juicy; 

 a perfect freestone and good shipper, July. 50 cts. each. 

 $4.75 doz.
