Abstract

ANNOUNCEMENT I TAKE pleasure in presenting this new edition of my catalogue to you. Believing that you desire to purchase only the best, I have listed in this catalogue only varieties that are standard sorts. Everyone should have a few fruit trees, small fruits, ornamental shrubs, vines, etc. Considerable profit can be made even from two or three trees or bushes, such as cherries, peaches, currants, gooseberries and strawberries. These do not take up much room and require little care, giving in return bountiful, supplies of fresh and delightful fruit.How deserted a farm home would look without an orchard of well selected fruits; and can a city or village home be complete without its roses, shrubs, trees, etc.; and where space will admit, what is more beautiful in the outside adornment ot a comfortable home than a combination of fruits and flowers? Is there anything more enticing than a tree or vine bending with its ripe, luscious fruit; and what is more attractive to the eye than a well arranged landscape covered with ornamental trees, shrubs and flowers? And since so much depends on the Nurseryman for the production of the best varieties and true to name, he must by diligence, labor and experience be prepared to furnish that which will give satisfaction to the purchaser.It is, therefore, the aim, in the preparation of this catalogue, to make the descriptions and time of ripening, etc., as accurate and intelligible as possible, and in so doing to lend assistance to those desiring to make selections, so that they may obtain varieties suited to their locality and also that a succession of ripening, from the earliest to the latest, among the fruits, and flowering among the ornamentals, may be obtained. Should you desire varieties other than the ones shown in this catalogue, kindly send your order or write me. I have a large and complete stock and can furnish almost anything you desire.Thanking you for past patronage and hoping to receive your future valued orders, I am Yours truly,
