Introductory 
a=!(3l3)a(^T IS with pleasure that we present herewith a new edition of our General Cata- 
Uf -J- |g logue, with revised and complete description. The complete and systematic 
I l| alphabetical arrangement, which has been adopted, makes this publication very 
S -■■ il convenient for reference and of preat assistance to our customers and salesmen 
w. w in making up their orders. M'e think the present edition will serve, not rrerely 
at3t3l^3)5« as a descriptive catalogue, but as a useful handbook containing valuable in 
structions for the transplanting and managing of fniit trees, spraying information 
and other important facts connected with the growing and caring of trees, which are indis- 
pensable to planters. 
Estabhshed in 1852, our organization is well and widely known. For more than sixty 
years, we have been growing and furnishing our customers Guaranteed Nursery Stock. Our 
customers as well as our salesmen are protected by our definite and clean-cut guarantee, which 
NO SUBSTITUTION— We send what the buyer selects. 
WE DELIVER IN GOOD CONDITION— By extreme care in packing. 
WE DELIVER STOCK OF GRADE SPECIFIED— Strictly nice in roots and tops. 
WE REPLACE FREE— Nursery stock that fails to live. 
All goods offered by us are grown with all the minute care and watchfulness our ex- 
perience has shown to be necessary to produce the Very Best. Our trees and plants are 
not planted and then allowed to shift for themselves. We spend a big fortune each year in 
caring for them. Thorough cultivation is practiced. Abundant fertilizer is used, and other 
means that will encourage a strong and \'igorous growth is employed. Stuart's nursery 
stock IS always reliable. That accounts for our reputation for a square deal. 
The same care shown in growing extends to our Packing Department, for which with 
our increasing business, ample provision has been made. In a large, airy, Ught cellar safe 
from exposure to sun or wind, our stock is assorted, graded, labeled and packed for shipment, 
by freight, express or mail, according to conditions and instructions, with every assurance we 
can offer of safe and prompt arrival at destination. 
Our Nurseries are annually inspected by the Department of Agriculture, who grants us a 
certificate statmg that our stock is free from infectious diseases and injurious msects which 
might be transferred from the Nursery to the orchard or garden. ' 
Wayne County and Ontario adjoining, is described by "Appleton's Universal Encyclo- 
pedia and Atlas" as the most important nursery region of the United States. Our stock is 
grown m these two counties (several hundred acres in all) with headquarters at Newark m 
Wayne County. This busy httle city is located on three of the largest raih-oads in the country 
The main line of the New York Central and West Shore for tasterlv and M esteriy points and 
Uie Pennsylvania Railroad for Northern and Southern points. The Rochester, Syracuse and 
Eastern Division of the Empire United Railways, and the Newark and Marion Railroad 
also pass through our city, thus affording unsurpassed shipping faciUties. 
With the immense stock which we cultivate, consisting of the great and various collec- 
tion suited to different soils and climates, and the large force of skilled nursery assistants 
which we have in our employ, together with the exceptional facilities which we have for 
shipping, packing and handling of our goods, places us in a position to guarantee to our patrons 
the careful execution of all orders, regardless of size, which may be placed with us. ' 
It has always been our aim and intention to supply only the best stock at the lowest 
prices consistent with the quality of goods offered. 
We are grateful for the liberal patronage which we have enjoyed for more than sixty 
years and respectfully solicit a continuation of the same.
