TO OUR PATRONS AND FRIENDS. 
presenting this catalogue we feel assured that it is worthy of your at- 
II teutiou; and a careful reading of its pages will convince you that we have 
omitted many novelties we have known to be worthless, while you will 
find almost all standard as well as new varieties of merit truthfully described. 
1897 will be a banner year for the small fruit family. The old members, that 
all know so well and favorably, will be made young again so far as possible, 
while new members of great and certain value will join the ranks, Of special 
interest among the latter will be: The new Greenville, Brandywine, Wilson, 
Bismark, Mayflower, Kyle, Bisel, Tennessee Prolific, Van Demau strawberries, 
which are in great advance of all their predecessors; flanked by their companions 
Eureka, Kansas and Hansell Raspberry, Early Harvest, Early Wilson, Eric, 
and Ohnier Blackberry. The Lucretia Dewberry is a revelation in itself. 
We also offer a few novelties in Currants, Gooseberries and Grapes.
