H. S. WILEY & SON, CAYUGA. N. Y. 
NIAGARA PEACH. 
(See (,'ut.) 
A new variety which is gaining a great 
reputation in Niagara County, where it is said 
to have originated. Peach growers in that 
county are planting largely of it. I attended 
to cutting our buds for this stock personally, 
at Mr. Woodward's orchard of this variety, 
near Lockport, N. Y. The fruit is very large, 
of fine qjality and handsome appearance, a 
Jittle later than Early Crawford, of which it 
is said to be a seedling. Tree has a remark- 
ably healthy appearance, and is said not to 
show any defect in foliage. Freestone, color 
yellow, with fine red cheek. Price, 25 cents. 
Carmau — Large, resembles Elberta in shape; 
color, creamj' white or pale yellow with 
deep blush; skin very tough, flesh tender, 
fine flavor and quite .iuicy; Ripens with 
Early Rivers. One of the "hardiest in bud. 
YeUow St. John— Nearly as large as Crawford, 
fully equal in color. 'Fruit round, brilliant, 
showy; one of the earliest yellow peaches. 
August.

PLUMS 
Giant Prune 
On a strong clay soil the Plum grows most 
thriftily, and suffers least from "curculio" 
and "black-knot." By giving a little extra 
care there is no difliculty in protecting the 
crop of Plums from attacks of curculio. 
Immediately after the trees have blossomed, 
and when the fruit is in its first stages of 
growth, make the ground clean and smooth 
under each tree, and spread a sheet upon it, 
so that it will extend as far as the outside 
edge of the outer branches; then suddenly jar 
the tree, so as to shake down all the stiing 
fruit and insects, which should be destroyed. 
If this operation be carried on daily for a 
short time, it will insure a full crop of deli- 
cious Plums, and will repay the little daily 
attention given. It is very important that 
this should be done early in the morning, 
while the insects are sluggish. 
Special Fine Varieties 
Our Plums are all budded on Plum roots. 
Price, 50 cents each; ,$5.00 dozen. 
Tennant Prune— From California. Large, 
dark purple with blue bloom, nice, delicious, 
hardy and productive. 
FeUemburg— (Italian Prune, York State 
Prune.) We have fruited it for fifteen 
years; it is an annual bearer, much larger 
than German, and always commands high 
prices on account of its superior size, 
beauty and quality.
