\\ ^ I. ^ I \ remains with us for a long time, and is 
I II II * considered one ot the most wholesome 
fruits for family use. An easy way to destroy the currant worm is 
by the use of White Hellebore; be^in its use as soon as the worm 
appears, usually two applications are all that are necessary. Set four feet 
apart, in rich soil, cultivate well or mulch healily, and cut out old wood each 
year. 
Cherry. Very large; deep red; rather acid; bunches short. Plants erect, 
stout, vigorous and productive. 
Fay's Prolific. Originated iu Chautauqua County, N. Y. A cross be- 
tween Cherry and Victoria. Of large size, fine flavor, and claimed to be five 
times as prolific as the Cherry. A great acquisition.

cellent quality. One of the finest and best, and should be in every collection.

Dear Sirs: I have carefully watched tbe development of the apple, pear and plum 
trees that I houKht from you. they have made an elegant growth for this year and out 
of the 700 trees received 1 have lost but 4 or 5 trees. I .am sorry that I did not get all 
my trees from vou for vours have made a better growth and look more healthy than 
any of the othe'rs that I planted. Very truly yours, WM. D. KEEPER. 
Middlesex Co.. Mass., Dec. 22. '99. 
Everything you ever sent me has been of desired quality and in prime condition. 
Would say in particular the pear trees sent in April '99, were especially fine and every 
one lived notwithstanding the severe drouth. Your house was the only place I could 
find this variety. GEO. B. WRIGHT.
