been wanted.'name- 
ly, an almond per- 
fectly hardy at the 
North. Unlike oth- 
er almonds which 
descend from the

sweet, rich meat. One tree given, free by mail, for a

English Filberts.— These, frequently termed 
hazelnuts, are of the easiest cul- 
ture, and are among the most 
profitable and satisfactory nuts 
to grow; of dwarf habit, entire- 
ly hardy, abundant ylelders, 
succeeding almost everywhere, 
and coming Into bearing early, 
as they do, with their rich, 
toothsome meat, they are worthy of being planted by 
everybody. Three for two subscribers, or six for three 
subscribers, by mail postpaid. 
The Carlough Apple.— In It we have just what 
everybody wants, viz: a long-keeping, handsome, 
sweet apple: and we unqualifldely state that for great 
beauty of fruit, long keeping and handsome growth 
of tree it is absolutely without a rival among apples. 
The fruit Is of medium size, ovate and almost as 
smooth and uniform in size and shape as though 
made of wax from a mould. Color bright lemon-yel- 
low covered with lively crimson next the sun— as 
smooth and beautiful as is possible to imagine— hangs 
on the tree until freezing weather, if permitted, and 
will keep in good condition without any special care 
whatever until June. In quality it is of the best be- 
ing sweet, mild, creamy and pleasant. The tree is a 
most vigorous and beautiful grower and an enormous 
annual bearer. Two trees for three or four trees for 
five subscribers, by mail postpaid. 
Lovett’s White Peach. 
The Abundance Plum. 
Has been thoroughly tested and both at the North 
and South it is a sure and abundant bearer— yielding 
annually in Mass, and Conn, in orchards where almost 
all other varieties fail. Season very late; color pure 
white; very large; splendid form, with indistinct suture; 
does not crack and is exceptionally free from spots and 
mildew. It is a long keeper; the flesh being firm, sweet 
and excellent and parts from the pit perfectly. It has 
the size and all the merits of Heath Cling, ripens with 
it and as it is a perfect free stone, handsomer, hardier 
and of better quality, more abundant and regular bear- 
er, it is bound to supercede that grand old sort. Two 
trees for three subscribers, or four tress for five sub- 
scribers by mail postpaid. 
Downing Everbearing Mulberry. 
A handsome tree bearing large, luscious berries for 
over three months of the year. One tree for two sub- 
scribers, or two trees for three subscribers; free by 
mall. 
Erie Blackberry. 
This is a remarkable fruit indeed. In growth it is so 
strong and handsome as to render it worthy of being 
planted as an ornamental tree. Its propensity for early 
bearing is such that it loads In the nursery row, bend- 
ing the limbs with the weight of fruit until they somej^. 
times break— the curcullo having no effect upon it. The 
fruit is very large, showy and beautiful, of the form 
shown in the engraving. Amber, turning to a rich, 
bright cherry color with a decided white bloom, and 
highly perfumed. Flesh light yellow, exceedingly 
juicy and tender and of a delicious sweetness impossi- 
ble to describe. Stone small and parts readily from 
the flesh. For canning it is also of the greatest excel- 
lence. Its season is very early , ripening in advance 
of other plums. One tree, free by mall, for two sub- 
scribers or two trees for three subscribers. 
The Erie is'of largest size, absolutely hardy, very 
early and immensely 
productive. It is of the 
strongest growth, free 
from “rust,” “double 
blossom,” and all other 
diseises, and wonder- 
fully productive. The 
fruit Is of the very larg- 
est size, exceeding the 
Wilson, Kittatlnny or 
Lawton, of excellent 
quality, handsome and 
firm. It ripens in ad- 
vance of Wilson, Jr.,be- 
ing second only to Ear- 
ly Harvest, andcombin 
es more points of excellence for general and extensive 
cultivation than any other blackberry known. Six plants 
for two subscribers, twelve plants for three, or twenty- 
four plants for five subscribers, by mall postpaid. 
Fig Trees. 
With proper care it 
is not difficult to grow 
this delicious fruit 
even at the North. It 
is well adapted for 
culture in large pots 
or tubs. It may also 
be grown out doors 
with winter protec- 
tion. Soil should be 
light and deep, moist 
but not wet. Lay the 
limbs upon the 
ground t and cover 
with earthy like the 
grapev i n e . Bend 
gently and gradually 
to prevent breaking. One tree given free by mall, for
