APRICOTS 



The Apricot, in quality and appearance, is be- 

 tween the Plum and the Peach, combining qualities 

 of both. Its very early season of ripening and de- 

 lightful flavor make it one of the most valuable 

 fruits. We are now able to offer varieties that are 

 extremely hardy and will endure severest climates. 

 The Apricot requires the same cultivation as the 

 Plum or Peach, and for curculio the same treatment 

 as the Plum. 



CHERRIES 



The Cherry tree universally requires a dry soil 

 and is naturally a hardy tree, succeediug in the 

 lightest soils or driest situations. The Heart and 

 Bigarreau varieties are of rapid growth, with large, 

 glossy leaves, forming fine, pyramid-shaped heads, 

 and producing large crops of luscious fruit; are well 

 adapted for planting along streets or in yards as 

 shade trees. We especially recommend Cherry 

 trees as most suitable and satisfactory for gardens 

 and small yards in towns and villages. 



HEART AND BIGARREAU 



Black Tartarian. Very large; excellent flavor. 

 June. 



Gov. Wood. Light red; juicy, rich and delicious; 

 tree healthy and a great bearer. June. 



Napoleon Bigarreau. Very large; pale yellow or 

 red; very firm, juicy and sweet. July. 



Windsor. Fruit large, liver colored; flesh re- 

 markably firm, sweet and of fine quality. July. 



Yellow Spanish. Large; pale yellow, with red 

 cheek; one of the best light-colored Cherries. 

 June. 



DUKE AND MORELLO 



These are for the most part round-shaped trees; 

 fruit generally acid, though some varieties have a 

 very mild, pleasant flavor. The trees are smaller 

 than the preceding class, and well adapted for 

 dwarfs. The Morellos are more slender and spread- 

 ing in habit than the Dukes, which are of a 

 stocky, upright growth. Both are more hardy than 

 the Hearts and Bigarreaus. 



Early Richmond. Medium size ; dark red ; spright- 

 ly acid flavor. This is one of the most valuable 

 and popular of the acid Cherries. June. 



Large Montmorency. A large, red, acid Cherry; 

 larger than Early Richmond, and fully ten days 

 later, June. 



May Duke. An old, well-known, excellent variety; 

 large; dark red; juicy, sub-acid, rich. Middle 

 if June. 



MULBERRIES

NECTARINES 



The Nectarine requires the same culture and man- 

 agement as the Peach, from which it differs only 

 in having smooth skin like the Plum.
