THE QUINCE 



The Quince is a "well-known hardy tree of 

 small size, crooked branches and a spreading 

 bushy head. It seems to be at home along- the 

 seashore, where the roots can penetrate living 

 salt water. While it does well in nearly every 

 soil, it will respond to a liberal dressing of ma- 

 nure each year. We also recommend about a 

 quart of salt around the root of each tree. The 

 fruitis very valuable for home and market and 

 for canning, preserving and flavoring other 

 fruits. 



Missouri Mammotli— The largest quince 

 in cultivation. Brought into notice in the vicinity 

 of Kansas City, Mo., where it is fruited exten- 

 sively, and is attracting great attention on ac- 

 count of its being large in size, perfect in shape; 

 very rich and aromatic, tree vigorous, produc- 

 tive, an early bearer and free from blight. 



Champion — A prolific and constant bearer, 

 fruit averaging larger than Orange, more 

 oval in shape, quality equally as fine, bears ex- 

 tremely young, producing fine fruit on two-year 

 trees in nursery row; can be kept in good condi- 

 tion until January. Tree is vigorous grower and 

 prolific bearer; one of the best for sections not 

 subject to early frosts. 



Apple or Orange— Large, roundish; bright 

 golden yellow; cooks tender and is of very excel- 

 lent flavor. Valuable for preserves or flavor- 

 ings; very productive; the most popular and ex- 

 tensively cultivated variety. October.

40c. each; $4.00 per dozen; $30.00 per hundred. 



MISSOURI MAMMOTH— HALF SIZE 



CURRANTS 



We do not think the value of this fruit can be overestimated. For every reason it should be plentiful 

 in every pantry. They should be planted in good deep soil, in a cool location, and manured very heavily. 

 Plant 4 by 5 feet, work like raspberries, keep the soil moist and free from weeds, and mulch with manure; if 

 the best quality of fruitis desired, they should be pruned every year and all old wood cut from them, keep 

 them thinned out so that air can freely pass through them. Currant worms can be destroyed by using 

 heUebore; dissolve one ounce in three gallons of water, and apply with a syringe or smaU sprinkling can. 

 This can be done with very little expense if performed at the right time. 



"Wliite Grape — Very large; yellowish white, sweet or 

 very mild acid, excellent quaity and valuable for the table. 

 The finest of the white sorts. Veiy distinct from White 

 Dutch, having a low, spreading habit and dark green foli- 

 age. Very productive. 



ta Versaillaise— Very large; red; bunch long, of great 

 beauty and excellent quality; one of the finest and best. 



Cherry— Very large; deep red; rather acid; bunches 

 short. Plants erect, stout, vigorous and very productive. 



Fay's Prolific— Color deep red; great bearer; stems 

 longer than Cherry, and berries hold their size to the end of 

 the stem better. Quality first-class; not quite so acid as 

 Cherry; the best of all the red currants. 



Lee's Prolific— A new black English production of 

 great value. Th e fruit is large and of superior quality; the 

 bush is a vigorous grower and enormously productive. 



Black Champion— Bunches are very large and the 

 flavor of the fruit particularly delicious; it hangs long on 

 the bushes.
