APPLES 
HARDY GRAPES 
Apple and other fruit trees in the home grounds 
have a distinct decorative value which is nearly 
as important as that of fruit production, viewing 
them from the standpoint of shade and bloom. 
These varieties of Apples are all successfully 
grown in New England and are best-liked for 
home use. 
Strong, 2-year trees, $1.25 each, $3.00 for 3, 
$8.00 for 10 —Special prices on larger quantities 
Baldwin. The standard Winter Apple for New 
England. 
Delicious. Red Winter Apple unique, mild flavor. 
Gravenstein. A striped red Apple of sprightly 
flavor, ripening in early Fall. 
McIntosh Red. Probably the most popular of 
all; bright red, crisp, unsurpassed for table use 
during the Winter holiday season. 
Red Astrachan. The red Summer Apple much 
prized for cooking purposes. 
PEARS 
Of easy culture; their narrow, upright growth 
allows their planting in restricted areas. 
2-year trees, $1.50 each, $4.00 for 3, 
$12.00 for 10 
Bartlett. Sweet, yellow, ripening in September. 
The favorite for table use and preserving. 
Beurre Bose. A late Fall Pear, russet-colored, 
with long, tapering stem-end; rich and juicy. 
Seckel. This small, very sweet, round Pear is an 
old favorite. 
Sheldon. Another russet late Fall Pear, almost 
Apple-shaped, very sweet, rich flavor. 
CHERRIES 
These 3 varieties are favorites for home use. 
2-year trees, $1.50 each, $4.00 for 3 
Black Tartarian. Large, dark-red “heart” 
Cherry of rich color and flavor. 
Napoleon. The best of the yellow Cherries, 
large and sweet. 
Early Richmond. A “sour” Cherry of the 
European type, much prized for table use and 
preserving. The tree is of low, compact growth 
and very hardy. 
PEACHES 
Peach trees are of low growth, hence practical 
for the smaller home garden. Their bloom is of 
deep shades of pink. 
75c. each, $2.00 for 3, $6.00 for 10 
Champion. An early white-fleshed Peach of 
delicate flavor. 
Crawford’s Late. The standard late yellow 
Peach. Hardy. 
Elberta. Favorite market variety, ripening in 
August; yellow and of finest flavor. 
Fitzgerald. Hardy yellow ripening in September. 
PLUMS 
2-year trees, $1.50 each, $4.00 for 3 
Lombard. Popular, large purplish-red of excel¬ 
lent quality. 
Abundance. Prolific bearer, smaller yellow-and- 
red fruit especially good for preserving. 
One of the most satisfying home-garden fruits 
because of its easy, interesting culture, and be¬ 
cause Grapes are grown on a trellis or fence and 
require little ground-area. Set the vines 10 feet 
apart and provide a support 6 feet or more in 
height. 
2-year vines, 50c. each, $1.35 for 3, 
$4.00 for 10 
Concord. The best-known of all the Grapes; 
late, black. 
Brighton. A sweet, red Grape growing well in 
New England. 
Moore’s Early. Very sweet, two weeks earlier 
than Concord, which it resembles in size and 
color. 
Niagara. The white Grape preferred by most 
growers. 
BLUEBERRIES 
Large-fruiting Hybrids 
These Hybrids are a practical addition to the 
home garden, requiring a minimum of space and 
offering no cultural difficulties if simple direc¬ 
tions are followed. 
Blueberries are acid-soil plants. This acid con¬ 
dition is easily brought about by simple prepara¬ 
tion of the soil. The new named varieties of 
Cultivated Blueberries are not self-fertile. A 
bush grown by itself will not bear fruit but 
where three or more plants of different varieties 
are grown in close proximity, perfect fertilization 
of the blossoms takes place and abundant crops 
of huge, luscious berries result. 
Consequently, our Blueberries are sold in units 
of three plants (mixed varieties) or in blocks of 
10 plants or more (mixed varieties). Orders for 
single plants will positively not be accepted for 
reasons noted above. 
Well-grown plants, S3.75 for 3, $12/00 for 10, 
25 or more, $1.10 each 
BLACKBERRIES 
We have selected one variety Eldorado, 
which is an all-round good Blackberry; large fruit 
of excellent flavor, 
$1.00 for 10 plants, $8.00 for 100 
Concord Grapes 
DELICIOUS BERRIES 
Every garden has at least a corner into which 
“small fruits” of some description can be tucked. 
Usually space enough can be found to supply 
fresh fruit for the family table; but the fun of 
finding only a handful of luscious berries is a 
worth-while adventure. 
STRAWBERRIES 
The term “specialized culture” has too often 
been applied to the raising of Strawberries. To 
the average gardener who just naturally keeps 
his ground properly tilled, their raising adds no 
difficulties. 
For Spring planting, only runner-plants are 
available, which bear the following year; in Au¬ 
gust and September, pot-grown plants success¬ 
fully establish themselves and also bear the 
next season. 
Runner-plants (April and May) 
$1.00 for 25, $3.00 for 100 
Pot-grown plants (August and September) 
$1.85 for 25, $6.00 for 100 
Catskill. Midseason. Heavy yielding, produc¬ 
ing fruit of large size and excellent quality. 
Dorsett. Early. A favorite for the home garden, 
large, sweet, and of high color. 
Fairfax. Another of the preferred early varie¬ 
ties. Its color is dark red; fruit firm and of 
rich flavor. 
Marshall. No Strawberry can ever take the 
place of “Marshall” in the hearts of South 
Shore gardeners. Its rich, dark fruit marks 
the peak of the Strawberry season. 
Gem. This new, everbearing variety brings im¬ 
proved flavor to the long-season type of Straw¬ 
berry. Vigorous growth in almost any good 
soil is a valuable asset, and we can recom¬ 
ment this Strawberry for general garden 
planting here in New England. 
Mastodon. An “everbearer” familiar to many 
growers and always a favorite. The berries 
are produced in late August and September, 
and are of sprightly flavor. 
RASPBERRIES 
Of easy culture, growing well in any good soil 
and sunny exposure. Set the plants 3 feet apart. 
$1.00 for 10 plants, $8.00 for 100

rich flavor. 
Cumberland. The best of the “Black-caps.”

“everbearing” type; a recent introduction.
