BUSINESS TERMS 
CORRESPONDENCE. Our office facilities are of the best and all inquiries will receive prompt and in¬ 
telligent attention. 
LANDSCAPE DEPARTMENT. We cheerfully submit sketches on approval, and follow up an accept¬ 
ance with complete planting plans. In working up small places, we need only the measurements 
and such photographs as will show the surroundings. For larger operations, we send an expert to 
look the places over, get an idea of the possibilities, and thus are able to propose the best available 
plan. We arrange, when desired, to superintend the planting, so that operations of some extent 
are carried on successfully with the least bother to those who entrust their commissions to us. We 
solicit correspondence upon this subject and offer our facilities, of proved excellence, with confidence.

graphs of objects on our own grounds and about Rochester.

GUARANTY. While we exercise the greatest care to have our trees and plants true to label, and hold 
ourselves prepared to replace, on proper proof, all that may prove untrue, we do not give any war¬ 
ranty, expressed or implied, and in case of any error on our part, it is mutually agreed between the 
purchaser and ourselves that we shall not, at any time, be held responsible for a greater amount than 
the original price of the trees. 
SHIPPING SEASON opens about October 1 and closes June 1st. 
HOW TO CARE FOR STOCK WHEN RECEIVED. Soak the trees with water, and either place them 
in a cellar and keep wet, or bury them in a trench, until the holes are ready for transplanting. If 
at all dry and shriveled, the best plan is to bury them, root and branch, in wet earth. If frozen, they 
should be buried in earth until the frost is removed. 
FALL PLANTING 
When planted in the fall, all trees should be banked up at least one foot high until spring. This 
overcomes the tendency of the trees to heave out, protects them from mice, and prevents the roots from 
freezing before they have taken hold of the soil. In planting roses, shrubs, vines and other delicate stock 
in the fall, the tops should be nearly or quite buried with mellow earth during the first winter. The sur¬ 
plus earth should be removed early in the spring. 
DISTANCE BETWEEN TREES AND PLANTS IN PLANTATIONS 
Standard Apples, 30 to 40 feet apart each way. In poor soil, 25 feet may be enough. 
Standard Pears and Cherries, 20 feet apart each way. Cherries will do at 18 feet, and the dwarf-growing 
sorts, Dukes and Morellos, even at 16 feet. 
Standard Plums, Peaches, Apricots and Nectarines, 16 to 18 feet apart each way. 
Quinces, 10 to 12 feet apart each way. 
Dwarf or Pyramidal Pears, Cherries and Plums, 10 to 12 feet apart each way. The greater distance is 
better where land is not scarce. 
Dwarf Apples, on Paradise stock (bushes), 6 feet apart. 
Nut Trees—American Chestnut, Butternut, Black Walnut, Hickories, 40 to 50 feet. 
Sober Paragon Chestnut, English Walnut, Japan Walnut, 30 to 40 feet. 
Pecans, 50 to 60 feet. 
Filberts and Almonds, 10 to 12 feet. 
Currants, Gooseberries and Raspberries, 3 to 4 feet apart. 
Blackberries, 6 to 7 feet apart 
Grapes, 8 to 10 feet apart.

The number of plants required for an acre, at any given distance apar^may be ascertained by 
dividing the number of square feet in an acre (43,560) by the number of square^hj^nven to each plant, 
which is obtained by multiplying the distance between rows by the distance betw(^BPfe--piants. Thus, 
strawberries planted three feet by one foot gives each plant three square feet, or
