Among (lie most prolific of rJl Strawberries, is Wilson'' s Albany 

 Seedling, and among foreign varieties, the Triomphe de Gand is the 

 best for general purposes. Downer's Prolific is a good fruit, and a 

 most robust grower. The finest flavored is, perhaps, Vicomptesse Heri- 

 caurt de Thury, the Hooker and Fillmore are also excelleut varieties. 

 Hovey's Seedling is still a great favorite with many, and for earliness, 

 size, color, flavor and productiveness none can excel the new variety 

 introduced into notice by us last season called. 



FKENCH'S SEEDLING. 



This variety originated on the grounds of Mr. French, near Moores- 

 town, N. J., and the fruit was introduced into our market last season, 

 commanding the highest price, and attracting universal attention, for 

 its beautiful bright scarlet color, form and excellent qualities. 



Price of plants, 50 cts. per dozen; $2.00 per hundred 



"PHILADELPHIA RASPBERKY.'^ 



We have tested this variety thoroughly in our own nursery grounds, 

 and unhesitatingly endorse the character given to it by Mr. Parry (an 

 extensive fruit grower near this city,) who states — "Having had the 

 severe test of ten years' practical trial, side by side with all the lead- 

 ing varieties, the conclusion arrived at is, that it is the largest, most 

 productive, and best hardy Raspberry in the World.'" 



We will furnish a limited quantity of plants, at the following rates: 

 $2.00 per dozen; $12 per hundred. 



GOLDEN DWARF PEACH. 



We offer to the lovers of the beautiful and the luscious a few hundred 

 well grown trees of Van Buren's Golden Dwakf Peach. As an orna- 

 mental tree there is nothing of its size more beautiful. It is prodigi- 

 ously prolific, and in quality of fruit it has few if any superiors The 

 fruit is very ornamental being above medium size, of a golden yellow 

 color, with a rich mottled carmine cheek. The leaves add much to its 

 beauty, being very large, closely set, of a deep green color, and hang 

 on much longer than other Peach leaves. The tree is not subject to the 

 diseases that other Peach trees are. It seldom attains a growth of more 

 than three feet in height, the original being but 28 inches in height when 

 four years old. The buds are so close together that one of those little 

 trees loaded with fruit would almost remind the beholder of an immense 

 Ibunch of very large grapes. 



This is the only Peach tree that will remain a dwarf when planted 

 where the roots have a chance to spread. Price $1.00 each. 



TEIUMPHANT APPLE. 



This tree is a rapid grower and commences to- bear very young. The 

 original tree has never been known to "fail to produce a heavy crop of 

 Apples. The Apples are rather below medium in size, red and very 

 crnamantal, so much so thai many plant them in their yards. The Apple 

 is tart, but makes an excellent Cider. It is baked without paring, 

 having a rind as tender as that of a Peach. Price each, 50 cents.
