RASPBERRIES. 



MILLER RED— This new red raspberry originated in Sussex county, Delaware, and is very 

 popular with a few fruit growers in that section who have preferred to market the frni't 

 rather than sell the plants. The berry is as large as Cuthbert, holding its size to the 

 end of the season, round in shape; color a bright red, does not fade, but will hold its color 

 after shipment longer than any other red variety: core very small, does not crumble, making 

 it the firmest and best shipping berry in existence: has not the flat taste af some varieties, 

 but a rich fruity flavor entirely its own. We have the price low so all may try it. 50c per 

 dozen by mail; $1.25 per 100 by mail post paid; $1 per 100 by express, not paid; $5 per 1000. 



DECIDUOUS TREES. 



HAPLE, Silver=Leaved {Acer r^as^caniM?)^)— A hardy, rapid-growing native tree, attain- 

 ing a large size; valuable for producing a quick shade, fine for street and park planting, for 

 which purpose it is planted more largely than any other tree. 8 to 10 ft.. 30c each; $3 per doz. 

 NORWAY MAPLE— A distinct variety, with large broad leaves of a deep, rich green, 



i-ounded form, compact habit, stout vigorous 



growth. One of the finest of park, street, shade 



or large lawn trees. Rather a rough crooked 



I jA -, grower while young, but soon develops in 



J^jBr straight, magnificent specimens. T to 8 feet, 



50c each; $5 per dozen. 



'j^^ CAROLINA POPLAR— One of, if not the most 



•Ar^?^ rapid growing trees, with large, handsome, 



glossy, serrated, deep green leaves, succeeds 



"^^''^^t^SS?*'^ ^ everywhere, especially adapted to large cities, 



*^.>. V^^^^^^S^»^ where it makes unusual fast growth, and resists 



'^^^■- "'■''s^^^ smoke and gas. Pyramidal form, making a 



■-y*?i. ,\vS-. ^ spreading head and dense shade when properlj'- 



trimmed. 8 to 10 ft., 30c each; $3 per dozen. 



j^^^^i^fsfdiSri'' --i-^^^^^^^U^^^ Norway Spruce. 3 to 4 feet 50c each.

^ -i *^^ CURRANTS. 



^^^ 3-^^^^*^ ^6 do not think the value of this fruit can

^^ •-sr/'^i^^^i'^-^4?^^£^'fll^^^s-^» ^e plentiful in every pantry. 

 ^i^^^li:iM^^^m^*>:^3^^^^^'^^^^^ They should be planted in good deep soil, in 



"^~^^^%&,'"^^S^^^ a cool location and manured very heavily. 

 ^j^s^p^^g^ ^^-^^fei Plant 4 by 5 feet: work like raspberries, keep 



-^g^^-Ts^E^-. /-'.^^^^ the soil moist and free from weeds, and mulch 



I » ~;3::<a with manure: if the best quality of fruit is d&- 



I ^.^-^ sired, they should be pruned every 5-ear and 



all old "ood cut from them, keep them thinned 

 out so that air can fi-eely pass through them. 

 Currant worms can be destroyed by using 

 hellebore: dissolve one ounce in three gallons of 

 water, and apply with a syringe or small 

 sprinkling can. This can be dcme with verj' 

 little expense if performed at the right time. 



Silver- Lea-jcd Maple. FAY'S PROLIFIC— This currant has now 



been before the public a niimber of years, and 

 we beheve n u^s ( i> tty »velj .sustained the claims of its disseminator, who savs t)f it: "Color 

 rich red: as compared a ith the cherry currant, it is equal in size, better in flavor, containing 

 less acid, and five times as pn lific. and from its long peculiar stem it is less expensive to 

 pick." Those who want a red currant and do not plant Fav's, are missing it. Bush a strong 

 grower and bearer and ripens early. 



WHiT- GRAPE— The best w hite currant and very distinct from White Dutch, having a 

 low ST)reading habit and dark green foliage: bunch is moderately long; berries large, sweet or 

 very mild acid: excellent qutility and valuable for the table. Very productive. 



CH RRY— The largest of all red currants, berries sometimes measuring half inch in di- 

 ameter: bunches short: fine for i^reserving and a valuable market variety: plant very vigorous 

 and productive when grown on good soils and well cultivated. 



kED DUTCH— The standard old variety, excellent and well known, larger than the com- 

 mon red and clusters much larger and less acid. One of the best red currants: bush an up- 

 right grower and a good bearer and a very profitable market sort. 



RED CROSS— .Jacob Moore, the originator, says: '"Hed Cross clusters are long and have 

 well necked berries, double the size of Victorias, and far superior in quality to (Tierry or Vic- 

 toria. Nothing will compare in quality with Ited Cross but White Dutch, which is too small. 

 Ked Cross was first fruited in 1889. T have seen the fruit growing in such masses as to hide 

 the upper branches from view. It is later than Cherry: the plant makes twice the groAvth of 

 Cherry and yields two or three times as much fruit. 1 recommend it with confidence. I con- 

 sider Red Cross one of the best of the new currants." Price 10c each, 75c per doz., $4 per 100.
