ASPARAGUS 
Columbian Mammoth White— Produces shoots which are white and remain so as long as 
fit for use. In addition to the marvelous advantage of its white color, the Columbian 
Mammoth White Asparagus is even more robust and vigorous in habit, and throws 
larger shoots and fully as many of them, as the Conover’s Colossal. Market gardeners, 
growers for canners, and amateurs, should give this great acquisition a thorough trial. 
Conover’s Colossal— Very large size and of excellent quality; has superceded the old varie¬ 
ties. 
Giant —This is the old and well known popular variety, tender and very rich. 
Palmetto —A very early variety; even, regular size, of excellent quality. 
RHUBARB OR PIE PLANT 
Myatt’s Linnaeus — Early, very large, tender and delicately flavored; requires less sugar 
than other sorts. 
NUTS 
Chestnut — American Sweet — A valuable native tree, useful and ornamental; timber 
is very durable, and possesses a fine grain for oil finish. Nuts sweet, of delicate flavor, 
and are a valuable article of commerce. 
Spanish — A handsome round headed tree, producing abundantly very large nuts that 
find a ready market at good prices. Twenty-five dollars have been realized at one 
fruiting from the nuts of a single tree. Not as sweet as the American and tree not as 
hardy. 
Walnut — Black—A native tree of large size and majestic form, beautiful foliage. The 
most valuable of all trees for its timber, which enters largely into the manufacture of 
fine furniture and cabinet ware, and brings the highest price in market. Tree a rapid 
grower, producing a large round nut of excellent quality. 
English — A fine, lofty growing tree, with 
a handsome spreading head. Where 
hardy it produces immense crops of its 
thin shelled delicious nuts, which are al¬ 
ways in demand at good prices; fruit in 
green state is highly esteemed for pick¬ 
ling. Not hardy enough for general cul¬ 
ture in the north. 
Japan-Max Cordiformis — Differs from 
Sieboidi in form of nuts, which are 
broad-pointed, flattened, resembling 
somewhat Shell-bark Hickory. 
Japan-Sieboldi — Perfectly hardy here, 
rapid grower, handsome form, im¬ 
mense leaves; bears young and abund¬ 
antly; one of the finest ornamental 
trees. Nuts produced in clusters; re¬ 
sembles Butternut in shape and qual¬ 
ity; smaller with smooth and thinner 
shell. Worthy of extensive planting. 
Peach trees arrived in good shape and 
I want to say they are truly fine, much 
better than I expected. I will know where 
to place my orders hereafter. Thanking 
you for honest dealing, promptness, etc. 
I am, Yours truly.
