The next cut gives a better method. Here 
the trees are laid down slanting, all of the 
trunks of the trees being covered with earth, 
and the tops lying so low as to enable the 
owner to cover them easily with evergreen 
boughs. When protected in this manner there 
is no danger of injury, provided there is no 
rubbish or brush piles, etc., near by, to at¬ 
tract mice. 
Prizes for Jessie Strawberry, 
At the exhibition of the Farmers’ Institute, 
New York City, June 21st, 1888, Green’s Nur¬ 
sery Company, of Rochester, N. Y., received 
a special prize for the Jessie Strawberry ; also 
first premium for an exhibit of the “Jessie.” 
It was described by the judges as having “ ex¬ 
cellent flavor, good quality, high color, fine 
growth.” 
The plants from which the above were 
g icked, were grown in matted rows, with or- 
inary culture and no irrigation, and the 
ground was disturbed by digging most of the 
plants for sale. There was prevailing a pro¬ 
tracted drouth, no rain for months, and which 
destroyed the crop of other kinds of strawber¬ 
ries. This is not the first time that the Jessie 
has shown its ability to withstand drouths. 
We do not hesitate to pronounce the Jessie 
the most desirable and profitable early berry 
we have. 
Niagara Plum.— “ This noble variety was 
first brought to notice in Niagara county, N. 
Y., by James Mooney, and by this name it is 
still known in many localities. He brought 
it from Canada, where it originated in his 
garden. He propagated and sold a few hun¬ 
dred trees. But little notice was taken of it 
for years, until by its good qualities it has be¬ 
come a general favorite. My attention was 
first called to it by Mr. Tower, who had one 
tree from the first lot of Mr. Mooney’s. Its 
productiveness and general appearance so im¬ 
pressed me that I top-grafted an orchard of 
200 trees, and the yields have been astonishing 
My commission men write as follows : Dear 
Sir—Too much cannot be said in favor of the 
Niagara Plum. After handling it four years 
we believe it has no equal. Its earliness 
brings it into market before the rush of 
peaches and other fruits. Its large size fine 
appearance, good shipping qualities, must 
make it a profitable market plum. We sell 
your crop here at an average of $2.00 per 
basket, or a trifle over $1.50 net to you Our 
customers can hardly believe them home 
grown, but call them California plums, and 
claim them better than the real California 
plum we had been furnishing, the size verv 
large, dark red, flesh yellowish, juicy, fine 
flavored, exceedingly productive and hardv ” 
Price, 50c, each ; small trees 80c. 
CLUB PRICES AND SPECIAL PRICES. 
We are glad to have our patrons offer spec¬ 
ial lists of stock wanted for prices. It some¬ 
times happens that we can offer lower prices 
than those printed by reason of having a 
surplus of what is wanted. But if we have no 
surplus, we will, in reply to such cases, simply 
return our printed list, which, in most cases, 
is as low as we can sell such superior stock as 
we handle. We do not wish to compete with 
those who offer poor stock at low prices. We 
have a reputation for selling good trees, true' 
to name-, and such cannot be sold lower than 
we state. If small trees are wanted we can 
make lower prices on such. 
NOTICE, that on club orders of $10, or 
more; 10 per cent, discount will be made, also, 
that in every case a charge will be made for 
packing and boxing, to cover actual cost and 
no more. Boxes are worth to the purchaser 
all they cost. 
Pot-Grown Strawberry Plants. 
Potted plants bear a full crop of the largest 
Strawberries nine months after planting. We 
pot only Jessie, Bubach and Haverland, un¬ 
less ordered to pot others. We have one price 
for these, 75c per 12 ; $3 per 100, packed in new 
light baskets 500 potted Jessie for $10. Jessie 
has proved to be the best of all so far; very 
early, large, productive, beautiful and fine 
flavored. Bubach and Haverland are next 
best and later.
