" Giants in si2e, very best in quality, truly wonders of the nineteenth century." — H. 

 Knudson, Minn. 



" It is grand and must be the coming plum of the world." — Geo. H. Clayson, Prest. 

 Arizona Nursery Co. 



" Samples of 'CLIMAX ' received in fine condition. It is the wonder of wonders. 

 Such size, and earliness, and perfection of form, and carrying the strange flavors of 

 Simoni — a whole fruit basket of suggestive flavors. I believe it will prove a record- 

 breaker for you," — E. J. Wickson, Berkeley, Cal. Agricultural Experiment Station. 



" ' CLIMAX ' is likely to cut an important figure in American Pomology hereafter." 

 — F. A. Waugh, Vermont Agricultural Experiment Station. 



During the ripening season of " CLIMAX " we were so very busy that it 

 was only possible to send it to half a dozen parties for testing. 



The opinions given above, of those who did receive it, should be sufficient. 



GRAFTING WOOD, 



GRAFTING WOOD PER FOOT, $10. TWO FEET, $15. FIVE 

 FEET, $30. TEN FEET, $50. FIFTY FEET, $200. ONE HUNDRED 

 FEET, $350. 



DORMANT BUDS ON PEACH OR ALMOND ROOTS, EACH $10. 

 THREE FOR $25. JUNE BUDS, ONE TO TWO FEET, ON PEACH 

 ROOTS, EACH $20. THREE FOR $50. 



THE PRICE for grafting wood of these new fruits may seem high to those 

 who are ignorant of the vast TIME, CARE and EXPENSE required to pro- 

 duce them. Most people acknowledge the difference in value of gold and lead; 

 it is often more difficult to appreciate the difiference in value of two little pieces 

 of living wood, one of which has the power of producing fruit (like WICKSON 

 during the past season) worth $855 per ton at auction, wholesale, while the 

 other can only produce fruit worth $5 per ton at even a greater cost of pro- 

 duction. 



The ORIGINATOR of these new fruits practically gives them to the world, 

 receiving, however, some thanks and a very few dollars. 



The GROWERS get, in the aggregate, millions, and the production and 

 sale of fruit is greatly extended. 



Many growers who three years ago purchased WICKSON WOOD of us at 

 $2 per foot, got their $2 back^in fruit last summer with SIX HUNDRED PER 

 CENT COMPOUND INTEREST PER ANNUM ON THE INVESTMENT 

 ADDED, and the end is not yet. 



" There seems to be no limit to your powers of improving our fruits and flowers." 

 — B. M. Young, Morgan City, La. 



" All the Chestnuts Mr. Coe purchased of you are fruiting splendidly this year on 

 two-year-old trees; I am greatly pleased with them." — J. H. Hale. 



" I consider you the Pioneer boss originator of new fruits of great value for the 

 South Atlantic Coast." — R. Bates, Jackson, S. C. 



" My * BURBANKS ' are a wonder. The trees are loaded with very fine large fruit 

 averaging about 6 inches in circumference, and with this load of fruit the trees are making 

 a growth of from 3 to 7 feet." — A. A. Halladay, Bellows Falls, Vt. 



" People hold up their hands in astonishment, delighted, never saw anything even 

 to begin to compare. I verily believe ' GOLD ' the grandest and handsomest fruit ever 

 seen by mortal man." — W. M. Hastings, Colo. 



" The ' WICKSON ' plum bears the largest fruit which has yet been introduced that is 

 hardy in New York." — Orange Jiidd, Farmer. 



" That the ' ABUNDANCE ' proves to be all that is claimed for it seems now a 

 settled fact." — Rural New Yorker. 



"21 deg. below zero. 'GOLD' alive to the very tips." — E. C. Beaman, Ontario, 

 Canada.
