Another season has come to an end. It has 
been a very prosperous one, and I am sending- to 
you herewith my eighteenth annual catalogue, 
thankingyou through these lines for the liberal way 
in which you have patronized me, and for the kind 
words which all of my customers put in for me 
whenever and wherever an occasion presents itself. 
This booklet has for many years been a true and 
faithful guide to man)’ tree planters and I hope it 
may do as much good in the future as it has done 
in the past, in helping the planter in his selection of 
proper varieties. 
It does not contain as many novelties in the 
fruit line as usual, for the reason that there are 
very few new fruits worthy of introduction, but of 
roses and ornamentals you will find a good many 
not heretofore described in this book. 
The growing season has been an exceptionally 
favorable one for nursery stock, and everything is 
of good size, in healthy condition, and exceedingly 
fine looking.
