Dewberries 
Lucretia—The most largely grown of all 
the Dewberries for market. It is earlier than 
the earliest blackberry and as large as the 
largest of them. The canes are very hardy 
and exceedingly prolific, thriving almost 
everywhere; of slender trailing habit, and en¬ 
tirely free from disease and insect attacks. 
The fruit is superb, large and handsome; jet- 
black, rich and melting. It is probably the 
best shipping variety of all the Dewberries 
in cultivation. 
Rhubarb 
Myatt’s Linnaeus—Those 
who have never grown this 
variety, which is of supe¬ 
rior quality, will hardly 
recognize the old “Pie- 
Plant. ” It is an early, ten¬ 
der variety, not in the 
least tough or stringy, with 
a mild, subacid flavor. 
Nut Trees 
who have investigated that English walnuts 
may be grow T n wherever the peach succeeds. 
We know there are many trees bearing suc¬ 
cessfully in Pennsylvania and New York 
State. For those who wish to try them, we 
have seedling trees for sale and would ad¬ 
vise their being planted in a sheltered situa¬ 
tion in rich, sweet soil; a small handful of 
air slacked lime thoroughly mixed with the 
soil would make sure of this. 
Chestnut, Japanese —These are among the 
most valuable and begin to bear at two or 
three years of age, the nuts running three to 
seven in a burr. They ripen very early and 
do not require frost to open the burrs. 
Chestnut, Spanish —Seedling. A handsome, 
round-headed tree of rapid growth, yielding 
abundantly, large nuts of good quality. 
Chestnut, Paragon —Grafted. Tree very 
vigorous, and upright grower, hardy and pro¬ 
ductive. Nuts large, kernel fine-grained, 
sweet and of good quality. 
Pecan—The rapid increase in nut culture 
has caused a demand for Pecan trees for ex¬ 
perimental purposes. There is no doubt but 
that by planting trees grown in the north 
from seed produced 
as far north as possi¬ 
ble they will live and 
thrive in Southern 
New England, a t 
least, so far as hardi¬ 
ness i s concerned. 
The only question is 
whether the season is 
long enough to ma¬ 
ture the nuts. 
We have small 
trees for sale grown 
from nuts produced 
Walnut, Black—A native tree of large size, 
beautiful foliage. Very valuable for its tim¬ 
ber. A rapid growing tree, producing a large, 
round nut of excellent quality. 
Walnut, Japan —A tree of great vigor, per¬ 
fectly hardy. Handsome form, immense green 
leaves, bearing heart-shaped, pointed nuts in 
clusters of twelve or fifteen each at tips of 
previous season's branches. Meat sweet and 
of superior quality. Tree commences bearing 
when young. 
English Walnut —Everyone knows the Eng¬ 
lish Walnut and would desire one on his 
grounds if sure it would thrive and fruit. In¬ 
vestigation has shown that these nuts thrive 
over a much wider range of territory than 
formerly was supposed, it is said by those 
English Walnuts 
in Indiana.
