FRUIT SEEDS. 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. 
Apple, Pear and Quince. — The seeds of these varieties may be planted any time during the winter or 
early spring. Soak the seeds in tepid water for 3 days, and change the water each day, or soak in 
cold water for 8 or 9 days, then sow lightly in drills 2 feet apart. 
Cherry, Plum, Peach, Almond, Etc. — The cultural directions given for the Walnut, so far as germi¬ 
nating the. seed is concerned, may be followed; should, however, the quantity be small, the pits may 
be placed in layers in boxes placed on the ground in a sunny exposure. Sprinkle over each layer a 
coating of sand. Layers may be 4 to 6 deep. Keep constantly moist, but not soaking. As the young 
plants appear above ground, they should be carefully removed and planted in nursery rows 3 feet 
apart. A cloudy day is most suitable for this work. 
Walnut. — The culture of the Walnut is the same as for stone fruits. The seed may be planted in beds, 
during winter or spring, covering about 1 inch deep, and kept moist, but not wet, until they germi¬ 
nate, which will be in about 3 or 4 weeks, according to the temperature. As soon as they crack and 
show the sprout, they should be transplanted to the nursery rows, 4*2 to 5 feet apart, and 6 inches 
apart in the row. They will grow the first year without irrigation 6 to 12 inches, and with irrigation 
6 inches to 4 feet; the second year from 4 to 8 feet without irrigation, and about the same with it. 
They make a better tree to plant where irrigation is not practiced. If ordered by mail 10c per pound 
additional will be charged to cover postage. Prices subject to fluctuation. Quotations for large quan¬

PALM AND OTHER DECORATIVE 
PLANT SEEDS. 
As many of the seeds of this class of plants are not reliable unless fresh, and as the varieties do not 
reach us very regularly from the collectors, we trust our customers will not feel disappointed if they 
do not receive all of the varieties they may order; we promise, however, to book such varieties as we 
cannot supply, and forward them promptly upon arrival. As it is impossible to test the vitality or 
genuineness of this class of seed, we cannot hold ourselves in any way responsible for the results of 
crops. As many varieties of palms take a long time to germinate, we advise patience and careful 
attention to attain successful results.
