NURSERY DEPARTMENT 



WE offer in this de- 

 partmet only such 

 varieties of fruits 

 and ornamental 

 plants and trees as may 

 suit the localities of such 

 persons into whose hands 

 this catalogue may fall. 

 We sell good stock he- 

 cause we deal with the 

 best houses, properly 

 handled, ready to do the 

 best service for the 

 planter who is willing to 

 supply the simple condi- 

 tions " necessary for suc- 

 cess. We solicit your or- 

 ders, and will cheerfully 

 supply anj* information 

 desired as to varieties, lo- 

 cation, etc. 



As our Space is limited, we 

 will describe a few of the 

 cho cest kinds, but give be- 

 low the names of other 

 varieties well known to the 

 public. 



By referring to our 

 pages on spraying (73, 74 

 and 75) will be seen description, "How and 

 When to Spray," and the apparatus for spraying. 

 We desire to call vour attention to the KERO- 

 SENE SPRAYERS described there. For some years 

 past inventors have been experimenting with KER- 

 OSENE SPRAYERS, but, up to the present, with- 

 out success. The trouble has been to give the 

 proper percentage of oil. Either too little or too 

 much has been the trouble. One being almost as 

 bad as the other. 



We ask you to read carefully the pages devoted 

 to these Sprayers. It has become an absolute ne- 

 cessity to spray all kinds of plants, and particu- 

 larly nursery stock, and it requires intelligent 

 work to accomplish the best results. Kerosene 

 emulsion seems to be the most certain wav of ex- 

 terminating the dreaded SAN JOSE SCALE and 

 CHINCH BUGS. CABBAGE WORMS, HORN 

 BLOWERS. PLANT LICE or lice on domestic 

 animals. The table on percentages should be care- 

 fully read and followed; also " How and When to 

 Spray " (page 73).

 Pumps and Nozzles."
