TO OUR FRIENDS AND PATRO 


Wiru best thanks for past favors, we offer this list for the coming Jeason, AT LOW 
CASH PRICES: 

With thirty years experience in the business, here and at Delayan, Wisconsin, 
the Proprietor claims some knowledge of the varities and modes of treatment BEST 
ADAPTED TO OUR PECULIAR SOIL AND CLIMATE. Our feilities here for 
prompt forwarding by Railroad or Express, to all sections, are no\excelled. We 
are but two days from Cairo and Dunleith, and but one from Chicag\ and St. Louis, 
by daily freight trains. Those familiar with the perishable charactr of trees and 
plants, the delay, exposure and expense incident to lots brought fym the East— 
especially in our springs, usually so much earlier than theirs, will ed no recom- 
mend of ours to induce them to buy West. If Western planters evjr want or ex- 
pect good, cheap trees, they will certainly patronize home or Wester) Nurseries. 

Our Establishment now covers 600 acres, located on high, dry, »lling prairie, 
perfectly exposed on all sides, and no manure used for most of oud trees, giving 
them a thoroughly ripe, acclimated growth, We believe our stock tlroughout the 
largest and cheapest ever offered’ West. Particular attention desire to the stock 
of Apple, we believe unequaled for quantity, quality, variety, reliabilty and hardi- 
hood. Of Pear Trees and Stocks, also, we have now nearly 50 acres }f both Dwarf 
and Standard. Our Grape Vines here cover at least 50 acres. 

With twelve years experience in the severe climate of Wisconsin, ye learned the 
most hardy sorts for the Northwest ; and our extensive acquaintance tenerally both 
East and West, during 30 years in the business, bas enabled us to {ollect most of 
the choice varieties from every section. Hence we offer them as postively known 
to be correct, or from the very best authorities, and can furnish anpdmirable as- 
sortment for almost any srcrron of the country. For the West, mos of the lead- 
ing Eastern winter apples are comparatively worthless yas>-For the Vest, or severe 
climates, sound, clean, Western grown, low-headed trees, of HARDY MRTS, in good 
order, are the kind, He who says otherwise, don’t know, or wilfully nisrepresenis. 
Our trees from here, after thorough trial in Wisconsin and Minnesota| as far North 
as St. Paul, have given perfect satisfaction. REMEMBER ONE GOOD TRIE IS WORTH A 
DOZEN Poor onES! The mercury here nearly every Winter goes to lor 20° below 
O— and occasionally nearly 30° below. 

For economy, or new farms, where only a garden spot is available for a year or 
two, or for shipping to distant points by Express, our SMALL CHEAP SIkES ARE MOST 
ADMIRABLE. 

Ras See last Page about planting Young Trees, ay 

For propagating and plants 13 large Greenhouses with frames, cove 
000 square feet of glass, are used. | 

745>To our stock of FRUIT TREES, APPLE AND PEAR, Dwarf a Standard, 


ing over 18,- 


especially the hardy Northern varieties, and fine, cheap, 1 year Stahdard Pears,

Raspberry, KITATINNY, WILSON’S EARLY Blackberries—Grapes, (ld and New, 
ROOT GRAFTS, Stocks, OSAGE ORANGE Hedge Plants, SHADE TREES, BULBS, 
ROSES, GREEN-HOUSH PLANTS, and ORNAMENTALS, throughout; we also ask 
particular attention. Nothing unsalable or in bad order offered—te it ever so 
cheap. The growth of our stock the past season has been unusually gdod. 

p@s~Of Grimes’ Golden Pippin Apple, 2 thoroughly worthy, promising tree, and 
fruit like Winter Swaar in many respects; the tree hardier, better, the fruit beautt- 
ful, first-rate, but not quite equal in flavor, we offer afine stock of 1, 2and 3 year 
trees,—also, Dr. Watson, Early Red Streak, (E. Red Margaret of Beeler), Bethle- 
hemite, delicious, winter, like Newt. Spitzenburg, ‘‘Huntsman’s Favyorite,’’ fine Mo, 
sort, Stark, Tetofsky, Fourth of July, Haas, etc.; also, many choic¢st southern 
sorts. 

ya@s-DISTANT DWELLERS, scores of miles from Nursery or railroad station, 
can obtain by marn for a few dollars, a splendid start of our beautiful Fruit and 
Shade Trees, Roses and Flowering Plants. What happiness, civilization and profit 
will grow up with them—Your own Tree and Flower Children! Homes without 
Children, Trees, Flowers! Nrvera true Home! As well, good Society without 
Schools, Churches and Newspapers.

parties, or through Express Agents, and for points not too distant), on delivery by

possibility of realizing on time sales, must vindicate our terms. If orders cannot 
be filled, the money will be returned. Parties who wish their goods sent by rail-

INSTRUCTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS. 


Remittances may be made by Postal Orders, or Bank Draft on New York or 
Chicago by mail, or U.S. and National currency by express prepaid. Currency if 
by mail at sender’s risk, though for years past generally safe. pes7>When Postal 
Orders, Bank Draft or Express facilities can be obtained, don’t risk by mail. In 
sending by mail, I should select thick, dark, stiff envelop, with enough stiff paper 
inside to destroy the soft feel of bank bills, and have the letter Registered, taking 
Postmaster’s receipt therefore. For the samereason, new, stiff bank notes are 
detter than old and worn ones. A day or two after sending bank bills by mail, 


[4] 


please write again, stating fact and amount sent. In sending Poetal Orders, please 
send them WITH THE LETTER, and NOT as ‘‘Red Tape” at Washington directs. 
Goods ordered by Freight Trains, with part remittance, for points not too distant, 
where there is an Express Agent, can be sent as freightin his care, with Bill for 
Collection on Delivery according to <‘Terms” on page 38. Unknown parties should 
enclose money, allor part, with order, in Current Bills, Draft or Postal Order. 

Packages of Plants, &c., up to 4 lbs. can be sent by Mail, on pre-payment of 2 
cents postage for every 40z., or fraction over—---a privilege not half appreciated as 
yet. Of 20 wagon loads of mail packages sent by us last season, nearly every ar- 
ticle arrived in good condition. Orders for goods to distant points should also in- 
clude pay in full. 

k@S-PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT YOU WANT—FORM CLUBS AND BUY 
AT WHOLESALE! Sprctau INDUCEMENTS ON LARGE AND EARLY ORDERS. 

ke@S~Parties ordering will please send EARLY, with order legible and separate 
from body of letter, with name of Postoffice, County and State ON THE ORDER, 
and be particular to state how they wish packages and invoices directed. Please 
let, if possible, all needed specifications as to age, size, style, etc., be included in 
the one order, to save trouble of referring to previous correspondence in hurry of 
season. R@s~In Cities always give Street and No., or No. of Postoffice Box on every 
letter. 

TO AVOID MISTAKE AND LOSS.—Please never omit in an Order or Letter the 
following items: Ist, P.O.; 2d, Co.; 3d, State; 4th, Articles Wanted; 5th, giv- 
ing the Age, Class or Size, exactly as offered in this List. Please write Numbers 
wanted to each lot, in Figures, without using pirtto Marks or Abbreviations. 

kes” Where Mailing will not answer, Expressing is confidently recommended on 
all small perishable lots, or for great distances, where there are many reshipments. 
Small plants, as Strawberry, Verbenas, Grapes, Rases, &c., packed in moss, and 
sent by mailif desired. We have abundance (several car loads) of moss for pui- 
ting up all choice and delicate plants. 

If packages do not reach you soon after receiving notice of shipment, write ini- 
mediately, that I may do what I can to trace and hasten them forward, 

We usually commence packing in the Fall about the 10th of October, and inthe 
Spring by the 12th of March, or sometimes the last of February. Forthe South or 
Expressing, we frequently pack and ship during mild weatherin Winter, Cions,

their season.

ROOT GRAFTS 


Are Cions and Roots grafted and tied together, ready for Planting in permanent 
Nursery rows. From the ground up, therefore, the growth from the Cion is of the 
grafted species. This is almost the universal mode of starting Apple Nurseries.— 
Pear, Cherry and Plum Root Grafts, though less certain than Apple, are gaining 
in popularity, and with good care and favorable season, will usually produce good 
results. Pear and Cherry Root Grafts are always STANDARD: Dwarf Root Grafts 
will not grow. 

Orders for special list of sorts MUST BE SENT EARLY, with } cash with order. 
We offer the very largest and best assortment we know of. 

Our Grafts are on first-rate Seedling Roots, the Cions mostly from bearing trees, 
and are made in very best style, and packed ready for shipping. Even 50s or 100s 
of each sort will be put up at following prices on orders received before December Ist, 
with 4 cash. For smaller or broken lists, prices will be given on application.

PLANT YOUNG TREES. 


We advise most decidedly to plant young trees, in orchard and gardens, and for 
the following reasons: 

1.—Young trees cost less throughout—at the nursery, in freight charges, also in 
handling and planting. 

2.—Thcey are surer to grow, having in proportion to the size of tops, vastly 
more and better small, fine (fibrous) roots. Large trecs in moving usually lose half 
or more of their most valuable roots. 

3.—Having less tops and almost perfect roots, the small trees become establish- 
ed, and grow off vigorously at once. The tops of large trecs newly planted are often 
shaken and blown alout by the wind until they become leaning, and unhealthy, even 
if they survive. 

4.—Making most of their growth on the ground where they are to stand, the 
small trees soon become more stocky and sturdy, every way perfectly adapted to 
the soil and location, as well as the preference of their owner. Setting young trees 
the planter can fashion both bodies and tops exactly to suit his fancy. 

5.—‘“‘Setting such young trees will we not lose time?” you ask. To auswer 
truly, I reply, if you give these young trees the first year or two a little extra watch- 
ing and cure, to the amount, say, of the difference in their cost, you will not lose a day, 
but get thereby a much handsomer and more valuable orchard. 

6.—Or, if not ready to plant out in the orchard permanently this year—or, if 
about to open in a year or two a new tarm as fora Son or Daughter, why not plant 
yearlings ov root grafts, growing them yourself in the garden with but trifling cost. 
In the mean time your children can study and learn all about them as well as about 
colts or pigs. Root Grafts are sct in deep, mellow soil, with dirt firm about roots, 
dipped, just before setting, in ‘‘grout,” 7. ¢. mud and water, with the top of Graft or 
Cion, two inches or so above surface. 

The most thorough and successful large planters we cannot persuade to buy 
and plant ordinary or large-sized trees. Even at the same price they invariably 
prefer the 1 or 2 year trees, knowing that with a fair chance the young, thrifty 
trees will, in 4 or 6 years at most, overtake the best planted Jarge trees. It is in- 
deed surprising to witness the thrift and vigor of 1 and 2 year trees well planted 
and cared for, especially the first two years after setting. Their cultivation is as 
simple as corn or cabbage. Unless on a side hill where soil washes badly, plant 
only an inch or two deeper than they grew in Nursery, as deep planting ruins many 
trees. The first season in the orchard two or three shert stakes by each tree may 
be well enough, and then see that the ground is properly stirred, the cattle, vermin 
and weeds kept away. Planting a few large trees for immediate bearing and effect, 
as about cities and towns, is a very different matter. In such cases expense and 
risk are no object. For complete homes, surrounding trees as near perfect maturity 
ag possible, are imperatively demanded; hence large-sized trees are of prime im- 
portance. 

The distant dweller on the prairies has neither money nor time to tamper with 
such large trees. Give him the young trees, and with reasonable care he can soon 
show better specimens than his more ambitious, suburban neighbor, besides the 
money he saves by planting small trecs.
