T O accommodate many of our customers who wish a few fruits, wo have carefully prepared a brief list of varieties 
which wiil suit any person exactly in any part of the country, and which we can send by mail, postpaid, at prices 
named; of course, if any one can receive them by express, we can send larger ones in that way at the same price. 
Of one thing our friends can be sure, and that is, we offer them only the very best varieties, those wlilcli have proved 
superior at all of the great nurseries, and which will do well in ail parts of the country. It has cost us a great deal 
of trouble to gain this knowledge, of which our customers can reap the beneilt. It is one thing to plant fruits, but quite a 
different one to know which of the many varieties are really the best. The fruits here offered, being young and thrifty, 
will make a very rapid growth and bear quickly. Good fruit is one of the greatest luxuries a family can have, and those 
who have a chance to grow them should spare no trouble or expense to secure a good supply of the best sorts. Notliing 
enhances the value of a cottage or farm so much as a good garden and good supply of fruits. Such a place usually flnds a 
ready sale at a good price.

PEACHES. 
The peach is such a rapid grower that trees small enough 
to go by mail bear well in three years. Small trees cost the 
buyer so little that there is no reason why every home should 
not be abundantly supplied with this delicious fruit. Plant 
a few of these choice varieties this spring. 
Globe— This new variety has been grown in Berks county, 
Pa., with tlie old popular stimdards and many of the new 
sorts, and has proved superior to all. Its size, beauty and 
Uavor have commended it so highly that it has brought 
for the past twelve years from 60 to 100 per cent, more 
than the best of other varieties. It is a freestone, golden 
yellow, with red blush covering half the surface of the 
peach; globular in form, flesh yellow, flavor luscious, 
and in quality best. It has produced specimens nearly 
fifteen inches in circumference. The tree is a good 
bearer, an upright, compact, vigorous, healthy grower, 
lasting longer than any other kind in cultivation. 25 cts. 
each.

weight of twelve ounces. In color It is rich yellow and 
highly flavored. It is a late sort and enormously prolific, 
the fruit being firm and keeping a long time. The finest 
new peach in many years. 25 cts. each.

very handsome, juicy, very rich and excellent. Very 
hardy and enormously productive, 25 cts. each. 
BEST CURRANT AND GOOSEBERRY 
These are the very best of all Currants and Gooseberries. 
They are so far in advance of all others that it is folly to 
plant any other. 
Fay’s Prolific Currant— A superb sort of recent introduc- 
tion. It is large and fine flavored, brightest cherry red, 
and tour times as productive as any other red currant. 
The bushes are a perfect mass of long clusters of fruit. 
20 cts. each; $2.00 per dozen. 
Industry Gooseberry— bike Fay’s Currant it is the largest, 
most productive and finest flavored sort yet known.

smothered with fruit; vigorous and free from mildew. 
When ripe they are rich and sugary in flavor and look 
more like fine purple plums than they do like Gooseber- 
ries. 25 cts. each; 3 for 60 cts.; 12 for $2.25. 
RASPBERRIES. 
The Baspberry Is one of the best and most profitable small 
fruits that can be grown. They succeed In any situation, 
even in waste places, along stone walls, etc. Under good 
cultivation they produce surprising results, and pay ten fold 
for the care bestowed upon them. 
Earhart— Of this wonderful new berry the introducer says; 
“ The fruit Is of large size, jet black, and good quality, 
the first crop ripening the last of June. About this time 
the first of the new canes begin to bloom, and ripen their 
fruit soon after, and continue to bloom and ripen fruit 
until frost, producing heavy crops as late as September 
and October. It is a strong gi-ower with corrugated 
foliage of dark green color, and has never been known to 
winter-kill.” Our experience with this berry has been 
highly pleasing. One spring we set out 1,000 very small 
tip plants, which started at once into a strong growth 
and commenced fruiting in August and continued until 
frost, producing remarkably large fine berries in enor- 
mous clusters, as shown in the cut, which was made from 
a bearing cane in October. We were surprised to see any 
fruit at all the flrstsummer on so small plants. It is cer- 
tainly a perpetual bearer, and has all the good points 
a cane being killed. In fact it is the hardiest sort we 
know. This season the yield of fruit is marvelous. It 
commenced to ripen July 1st, and bore enormously until 
frost. We consider it in all respects a highly valuable 
sort on which too much praise cannot be bestowed. 
Every one speaks highly of it. We have reports of single 
canes bearing 400 berries and that in September and Oc- 
tober. 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 cts.; 12 for $1.50.
