PEACH TREES in carefully graded stock and accurately named 
varieties have always been the leading specialty in this estab¬ 
lishment. The well known health and vigor of our Peaches, 
is appreciated by growers all over the country. 
APPLE TREES in car-load lots, at very low rates, and unsur¬ 
passed in quality. Purchasers who have never handled our 
trees, should give them a trial. 
CHERRIES and KIEFFER PEARS of unsurpassed excellence, 
and as low as the lowest for first-class stock. ERIE BLACK* 
BERRIES of strong growth and in perfect health, can be sup¬ 
plied in large or small lots. 
Among ORNAMENTAL TREES we call especial attention to our 
beautiful stock of the Weeping Dog Wood, which is certainly the 
most valuable drooping lawn tree in our list of hardy specimens. 
In MAPLES, we offer all sizes of Norway, Sugar, Silver, Red, 
Wier’s Cut-Leaved, and Schwedler’s Purple-Leaved, in quantities to 
suit purchasers. These are all remarkably thrifty, in perfect 
health, and well-formed. Also, Silver-Leaved Lindens and Kil¬ 
marnock Willows of handsome form and at very low rates. 
These Nurseries have become famous for their splendid col¬ 
lection of FLOWERING SHRUBS, which are carefully grown, 
frequently transplanted, and accurately graded. We invite 
particular attention to list of the same, as quoted in our new 
Trade Catalogue. 
Our usual heavy stock of CALIFORNIA PRIVET is this year of 
superior excellence, and we confidently recommend it to the 
notice of buyers. So much depends upon the health and 
thrift of these plants, that we have endeavored to grow our 
stock with strong fibrous roots and well branched heads, thus 
insuring a true ornamental hedge. 
Our new TRADE=LIST will be furnished free to all Nurserymen 
and Florists who apply for the same.
