ELM FRUIT-FARM CATALOGUE AND PRICE-LIST. 
MARLBORO (New).—For some years past, the talk among “ the knowing ones ” has been 
** the Marlboro Raspbeny is going to create a sensation among fruit growers as soon as it is known 
plants are for sale.” The plant is a stronger grower and more prolific than the Cuthbert ; fruit of 
largest size, bright color, and extremely firm, but best of all the very earliest to ripen, even earlier 
than the Hansell on the same soil here the past season. We are propagating plants of the 
Marlboro from root cuttings (on muck land specially prepared at a cost of nearly Si»ooo per acre, 
for ditches, sand and chemicals), and will have for sale, in the fall of 1884, Marlboro plants with 
ivW'j five times as many fiberotis roots :ss, on Raspberry plants. We will book 
orders now for this extra fine stock at Sr per plant; S5 per 6; S9 per dozen; S25 per loo, and 
■deliver plants at proper time for planting in fall. 
CAROLINE. —A seedling of Brinkle's Orange. Plant strong, vigorous and hardy. We 
give it no winter protection, and it always comes out alive in the spring. The fruit closely 
resembles Brinkle’s Orange, both in appearance (a light orange color) and quality. The hardiness 
of the plant and delicious quality of the fruit make this one of the choicest varieties for family use, 
and will doubtless be planted by all that appreciate a really first-class berry. Price, 75 cents per 
dozen ; ^4 per 100. 
BLACKBERRIES. 
Blackbernes should be planted in rows eight feet apart, plants two to three feet in a row'. 
They do not require as heavy soil or manuring as Raspberries. Pinch or cut off the tops when 
four feet high. 
When to-be sent by mail, add 15 cents per dozen, 40 cents per fifty, and 75 cents per 
hundred to the prices affixed.

STONE’S HARDY. —As hardy and prolific as Snyder; about the same siie, but of supe¬ 
rior flavor; promises to become very valuable. Price, 81 per dozen; $5 per too. 
EARLY HARVEST. — The earliest and most prolific Blackberry in existence. Plant a 
low, stocky grower, branching quite freely; very hardy; 24 below zero here December 23d, ap¬ 
parently has not injured it in the least. Fruit about the size of Snyder; fine flavor; ripens all its 
crop in a few days, fully two weeks in advance of any other variety that is hardy at the North, 
and on this account will prove very valuable as a market berry as well as one of the best for family 
use. Price, $i per dozen ; $3 per 50; $5 per too; S40 per 1,000. 
EARLY CLUSTER.—It would take a whole catalogue to tell all the good things that 
have been said of this new berry; $12,000 having been paid for the control of the limited stock 
of plants is conclusive evidence of its great value. Price, 75 cents each; $7 per dozen. 
WILSON, JR. — A seedling of the old and once reliable Wilson’s Early, the most profitable 
B’ackberry ever grown in this country; and this gives promise of being even better than the Wil¬ 
son in its best days. Price, 50_cents per plant; $5 per dozen. 
For the best results. Currants require a deep, rich soil and thorough cultivation. Plant in 
TOWS, 4 to 5 feet apart, with plants 3 to 3j^ feet in the row. If they can be mulched during fruit¬ 
ing time it will add greatly to the size of the fruit. The currant worm is easily destroyed by dust¬ 
ing the bushes with powdered white hellebore, when the dew is on. 
One year plants can be sent by mail at an additional cost of 15 cents per dozen, 40 cents per 
50, 75 cents per 100.

dozen. S3 per 100, $25 per 1,000; two-years, 75 cents per dozen, $5 per 100, S35 per 1,000. 
WHITE GRAPE. —One year, 75 cents per dozen, $4 per 100; two-years, per dozen, 
$6 per 100, 
VICTORIA. — A very vigorous, prolific, large, late variety, that is coming more into favor 
•every year. We think it the most valuable of any of the older sorts. Prices as above.
