The Wonderful Rocky Mountain Dwarf Cherry. 
A fruit for all people and all sections. 
Certainly the greatest novelty In the fruit Hue ever Introduced. At 
a enormous expense we have secured the true stock ol this marvelous 
■ult dii-ect from the introducers, and are 
jadquarters for it. One of the largest fruit 
rowers in the west, who has grown the 
ocky Mountain Dwaxf Cherry for several 
lars, says: "It is the most productive fruit 
which I have any knowledge. I have 
icked sixteen quarts of fruit off a three-year- 
Id tree. I have picked eighty cherries off a 
ranch twelve inches long of a two-year-old 
The fruit is a rich red and changes to 
Imost black when ripe, and in size averages 
omewhat larger than the Kng- 
sh Morello; season of ripening 
ing after all others are gone, 
flavor It Is akin to the 
iveet cherries, and when 
Uy ripe, for preserves or 
eat out of hand. It has 
equal in the line of pit- 
rt fruits, and is conceded 
uperlor to any fruit grown 
II this section. It has the 
est system of roots of any 
hrub or tree I have ever 
mted, -which accounts 
or the wonderful produo- 
ireness of plants at such 
,n eai'ly age. It bears 
ery year, and is as pro- 
ific as a currant bush, 
irows to a height of four 
eet, and has never been affected by insects, 
ilack knot or other disease. In addition 
its immense x^rodiictiveness of luscious 
uils, valuable for pies, sauce or for market ptir- 
wses, it makes a handsome flowering bush with 
s mass of pure white flowers. Some planters, 
irUere its good qualities are known, will set them 
bylOO and SDO in thesjiring.'' 
It is as hardy as an oak, 
laving withstood 40° 
)elow zero, unharmed in 
ruit, bud or branch. 
Kxtracts from state- 
nents of some concerning 
lieRocky iVIountain 
Jwarf Cherry: 
"Cherry % tn. In

!^erry, is uniform In size and 
ar superior in richness of col- 
irlng and delicacy ol flavor."

Colossal Dewberry. 
The finest berry ever introduced. 
This Is a fruit for everybody, and one that ail should have. It Is per- 
fectly hardy and does well in any and all sections ot the country. The 
Colossal ripens early, berries are extra 
large and nandsome, jet black and of 
the most delicious qur*llly. It is one of 
the most desirable small^fruits for gen- 
eral cultivation we have ever seen, and 
will please all who will try it. Not only 
is it valuable as a fruit, but early In the 
spring it produces great bunches of 
pure sweet scented flowers that are very 
handsome, and make a beautiful display 
either for the garden or lawn. Our 
stock is true and fine. Price asc each, 
3 for 60c, 7 for 91.OO, 15 for 92.00, 
postpaid. 
WhlDham's New Tree Gooseberry. 
A grand Gooseberry of upright 
tree form bearing immense deep red 
fruit of the flnest flavor. (For better 
description see inside of back cover. ) 
Price, strong stock, 60c each, 3 for 
91-25. 
The New Grape— Cambridge. 
This new Grape we have 
secured at an enormous 
price, and think It will prove 
to be the flnest of all the 
black varieties. It is a seed- 
ling of the Concord, and far 
superior to this well known 
grape, both in quality and 
yield, and being equally as 
hardy and earlier, it will be- 
come more i)opular as soon 
as once kno^wn. We do not 
believe there is a black grajw 
superior to the Cambridge 
In quality, or one that is 
more desirable for either 
private or market use. Price 
40c each, 3 for 91.00, 7 for 
92.00. 
The Great Crandall 
Tree Currant. 
A most valuable Cur- 
rant. It grows to a 
height of seven or eight 
feet and forms a hand- 
some tree-like bush such 
as shown in om- illustra- 
tion. In addition to being 
enormously productive 
it Is absolutely proof 
against the Currant 
Worm and all other Insects. 
The fruit, which Is of a pur- 
pl ish black color. Is very fine for 
all cooking purposes, and tm- 
surpassed for pies, jam or jel- 
lies. The U. S. Agricultural 
Report says: "It is an enor- 
mous bearer, the fruit large, 
fully one-half inch an diameter. 
It is well adapted for sauces, 
Kies, jellies, etc., and is perfectly 
ardy.'* We think this is about 
all that is desirable in a Currant, 
and heartily recommend it to 
our customers. 
A Warning.— We are head- 
quarters for this Currant and 
all who desire it true to name 
should send their orders direct 
to us.
