ATION 



I IN PER THE LAW of 189S all nursery stock in Maryland must 

 ^^ be fumigated. Although this adds to the cost of stock we 

 made no effort to evade the law, but on the other hand we have given 

 it our hearty support, believing, as we do, that it is a wise precaution 

 although we have never found in our nurseries the faintest traces of 

 disease. 



We are sure our patrons will appreciate our efforts to furnish 



Cl^an, M@3ltSny Stook. 



AVe have the most complete fumigating rooms in the State, and take 

 as much care as it is possible for one to take, to properly fumigate 

 all our stock. Prof. W. G. Johnson, the State Entomologist, super- 

 intended the construction of our buildings, and the work is done 

 under his direction, to whom we refer to confirm the accuracy of 

 our statements. In addition to this ])recaution, we have always used 

 the utmost care in the purchase of peach seed, to see that they are 

 obtained from sections not infected with yellows or other diseases of 

 the peach. Asa further precaution we plant peach nurseries only 

 on ground not previously set in peach trees. This makes the grow- 

 ing of our trees much more expensive, requiring, as it does, constant 

 purchasing and leasing of land for the purpose. Our buds are all 

 taken from our own fields, except those purchased from introducers 

 of new varieties, and these buds are fumigated before set in trees. 



We are equally cautious about the growing and preparing of 

 our strawberry stock. 



The nursery business with us is a life time business, and we 

 realize the fact that it can only be built up and maintained upon 

 just principles. Our customers must be our agents to speak for us, 

 else we cannot succeed. We have always realized this principle. 



We have a member of the firm for each department of the busi- 

 ness. This is the reason we can rely upon its being done right. 



Our business has continually broad-rued from year to year, as 

 we stated in a previous catalogue, and now we cover nearly all the 

 field of fruits^Srawberries, Kaspberries, Grapes, Peaches, Plums, 

 Pears and Apples. The last named is comparatively new, but those 

 who have seen our apple nurs?ries will tell you that we are making 

 a success of growing them. Our specialties are Peach Trees, Straw- 

 berry Plants and Asparagus Poots. 



But don't forget the fact that all stock is thoroughly fumigated 

 before beinsf sent out.
