THE HAY DAY TREE. 



This beautiful tree is one of the finest we 

 have ever sent out, and one, which will in a 

 measure supercede many existing sorts, it 

 is of sturdj\ vigorous growth, forming com- 

 pact rounded heads, straight, stiff stems, 

 and very uniform, handsome trees at all 

 stages of growth and develospment. The 

 leaves are of medium size re embling the 

 wild cherry and appear among the very first 

 in .the spring. The flowers resemljling cherry- 

 blooms, appear early, usually by May 1st, 

 which gives the tree its name. These are 

 produced in great racemes of white, which 

 hanging amid the dense green foliage are 

 very striking and attractive. It is perfectly 

 hardy everywhere and for lawn and park 

 planting fifls a long desired place. It has 

 never before been catalogued, and we offer 

 it as one of the prettiest and most uiseful 

 novelties ever introduced. I2 to 15 inches

SCOTT'S 



A Vermont Seedling, 

 of Great Vigor, Great 

 Hardiness, Great Pro= 

 duetiveness and Great 

 Beauty, Suggesting 

 Great Profits for Shrewd 

 Planters. 



This remarkable variety is not an 

 untried noveltjr, but has been grown for 

 several years in manj' sections of the 

 cotintry and has proven hardy, healthy 

 and {jroductive everywhere. To a con- 

 stitution as hardy as the native oak, is 

 added vigor of growth, and great pro- 

 ductiveness. But the most distinguish- 

 ing feature of this mar- 

 velous fruit is its ex- 

 tremely fine appearance, 

 and its most delicious 

 flavor, surpassing all 

 known varieties in each 

 of these important par- 

 ticulars. It is of 

 medium to large size, of 

 fall rounded form, very- 

 fine texture, tori.sk, sub- 

 acid flavor, very dark 

 red color, and a most 

 beautiful fruit at all 

 stages of development. 

 It is the handsomest 

 variety we have ever 

 seen; this alone should 

 recommend it to all 

 who grow for market, 

 wbile'the hardy nature 

 of the tree cottimends It 

 for general planting 

 everv where, East, West 

 Norih and So^th, in the 

 humble garden of the 

 poor or the spacious 

 grottnii of themillionaire. 



A Hardy, Healthy, 

 Handsome Variety, Rec= 

 ommended for all Soils, 

 Sections and Climates. 



It is a remarkably long keeping apple, 

 being the, best from February to April. 

 We believe it is the cortiing iipple both for 

 the large planters, who grow cfor profit 

 and the people with small yards, who 

 wish a choice fruit for home consumption. 

 The West a:nd Northwest are jnst waking 

 up to the possibili ties of frui t culture. By 

 planting the proper varieties there is no 

 reason why as good fruit cannot be grown 

 here as in more favored sections of the 

 East. • ■- ,

 he sold in 1901 $150.00, 

 in 1902 $160.00, in

 better than growing 

 wheat, oats, corn or po- 

 tatoes. From one or-
