Seventeenth Annual Catalogue and Price List

Ce ¥ Re list, I wish to call particular attention to the large increased acre- age of our nursery during the past few years, having now over ten acres in apple trees alone, including 1, 2 and 3-year-olds, and can iurnish some varieties in ten to fifteen thousand lots. Also growing a very large quantity of peach, plum, pear and Bj -%..¢ cherry in the leading varieties, suitable for planting in this par-

ticular region. Over thirty acres devoted exclusively to small fruits, and, as will be seen by the list, we grow only the best. Our experience of eighteen years growing small fruits for the market has given us the most profitable kinds to grow here. The list of shade and ornamental deciduous trees include all the desirable native and introduced varieties suitable for streets, parks, cemeteries, avenues, etc. These we have by the car-load. Have made a specialty of evergreens, and have a fine lot of pines, spruce, arbor vitae, cedar, etc., in all sizes. In ornamental shrubs, vines, roses, etc., our list contains only those that are hardy and desirable.
