ILLUSTRATED AND DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE 
DWARF SERVICE OR JUNEBERRY. 
Grows four to six feet high, bunches out from the ground like currants— resembles the 
Common Service or Juneberrv in leaf and fruit, but the fruit is larger, and in color almost black- 
commencing to bear the second year after transplanting, and bears profusely— no farm or garden 
should be without this most excellent dessert fruit. 
ENGEISH CETJSTER HOP VINE.

NUTS. 
AJiiioihI, Hardshell. A fine hardy variety, with a large plump sweet kernel, tree very showy and 
ornamental in blossom. The linll cracks when ripe, permitting the nut to drop out. 
Almond, Soft, or Paper Shell. This is more desirable than the Hardshell wherever it will succeed, 
is not quite as hardy. Kernel large, sweet and rich. 
Butternut, or White Walnut. A fine native tree, producing a large, longish nut, which is prized 
for its sweet, oily, nutritious kernel. 
Black Walnut. This is the most valuable of all our timber trees for planting, a rapid grower, pro- 
ducing a large nut. The timber enters more largely into the manufacture of furniture and 
cabinetware than almost any other, and is prized almost with mahogany. 
Chestnut, American. Our native species; smaller than the Spanish, but sweeter; very hardy. 
Chestnut, Spanish. A tree producing nuts of very large size and good flavor; not quite as hardy 
as the American. 
Chestnut, Japan or Giant. Introduced from Japan. The tree is decidedly ornamental, hardy and 
productive, of dwarf habit, bearing extreme. y young; nuts of enormous size, and of the sweet, 
rich flavor of the American Chestnut. 
English Walnut, or Marieria Nut. A fine, lofty growing tree, with a handsome spreading head; it 
is scarcely hardy enough here, but further South it is a profitable tree to plant, as it produces 
large crops of excellent nuts. 
Filbert, English. The fruit of these is so much larger and better flavored than our native species 
as to give them the preference for cultivation over the latter in localities where they will suc- 
ceed. 
GRAPES. 
The history of the Grape is almost as old as that of man. Vineyards were extensively planted 
before orchards or collections of other fruit trees were at all common, and to-day it is one of the 
most highly appreciated fruits. In its flavor it is hardly surpassed by any other fruit in delicacy 
and richness, and few or none are more beautiful in the dessert. Any person having a lot of 
ground ever so small, either in country or city, can find room for from one-half to one dozen or 
more Grapevines. They can be trained up the side of any building or over a garden fence, but the 
best and cheapest way to grow them either in small or large quantities is on the wire trellis.
