Abstract

Of&ce on Broadway, Opposite Postoffice. Cool Storage Cellar and Packing G-ronnds on North Union Street Car Line. In preparing this descriptive catalogue, we have endeavored to accurately, yet briefly, describe only such varieties of fruit trees, vines, plants, shrubs, etc., as will most likely succeed with you. We believe no one will question the value of a good orchard or family fruit garden. Please consider the following pertinent questions: Have you planted an orchard? If so, was it a success? If so, it is valuable? If not, who. was to blame? Did you procure first-class stock from reliable parties, and, after receiving it, did you thoroughly prepare the ground by deep plowing, pulverize and dig the holes of ample size to admit all roots in their natural position? Did you keep the ground pulverized to prevent drying hard and cracking? Did the rabbits or single-tree bark the trees? If you can answer these questions favorably, your table should be supplied with good wholesome fruit, at least, ten months in the year. It has been wisely said that too many varieties is a bad disease to get into an orchard. Make a judicious selection from the different seasons, and, at the same time, the new and select varieties should have your careful attention, as these represent most truly "a progressive improvement of the age." We'd like to get better acqainted with your wants. Write us briefly, stating particulars, and you will receive a prompt response. We are out for your patronage and have confidence in our ability to serve you satisfactorily.
