INTRODUCTION. 
In accordance with our annual custom, we have pleas- 
ure in handing you our Fall Pocket Price List for 1900, 
which contains a list of stock growing for the coming 
season's trade. Our large descriptive catalogue can be 
had on application. 
We desire especially to thank our many patrons foi 
their orders in the past, and feel sure with our increased 
facilities and many improvements we make every year, 
we are in better position than ever to meet our large 
and growing trade. 
Our stock for Fall is all that could be desired; no 
better can be had, as our growing season has been 
very favorable. 
Experience has proved Fall as the best time to plant 
out trees, excepting one or two varieties, and these are 
better got in Fall, trenched out, ready for use in Spring 
as wanted. Fall set trees seldom fail, and if Fall plant- 
ing was more generally adopted, there would be little 
or no loss in setting stock. Winter rains compact the 
earth about the trees and put them In the best position 
to start growth in Spring. Also it avoids the rush of 
Spring work, and can be done better and with more 
ease. 
Owing to the scarcity of Nursery stock, prices have 
advanced on some varieties, and it would he to the in- 
terests of our customers to order early at our Fall 
prices, as present indications are, the rates will be con- 
siderably higher in Spring, if the present demand con- 
tinues, and some varieties cannot be had at any price. 
ALL OUR STOCK HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY 
THE STATE AUTHORITIES, AND IS ENTIRE- 
LY FREE FROM ALL DISEASES OR INSECT 
PESTS, AND NO SHIPMENT WILL BE AL- 
LOWED TO LEAVE THE NURSERIES WITH- 
OUT A CERTIFICATE TO THIS EFFECT. 
Hoping to have the pleasure of your orders, and as- 
suring you of our careful attention, 
Yours resnectfullv, 
REID'S NURSERIES.
