OUR LANDSCAPE GARDENING This branch of our business has grown so largely for the past years that we have been obliged to extend our acreage of all. the ornamental nursery stock, in order to grow what we need for this purpose. We have in stock at the present time a large and com- plete line of all the desirable Orna- mental Trees, Plants and Vines needed for the beautifying of the home grounds. We wish to call your special attention to the prices we ask for this stock. All the Trees, Shrubs, Plants and Vines have been twice transplanted, consequently they have a fine system of roots; they have been thoroughly and properly pruned for the best shape and effects. It will pay all who need this line of stock to make out their list and mail it to us for our estimate. If you contemplate planting largely either of Fruits or Ornamentals, please write to us naming what you want, then we will visit your place and furnish you with a figure for everything needed, furnished by us and planted by our practical experienced men. It should be borne in mind that the fact of adding stock to your lawn does not necessarily increase its beauty or value. The work must be properly done. It is the manner in which it is located and the judicious selection of Ornamental Stock that we get the many different effects desired. We have in our employ men who make a a specialty of this line of our business, and we are sure it will be a financial saving to employ such men to locate stock on new or old country home grounds. If you contemplate doing any work in this line write us and we will gladly make arrangements to visit your place and serve you along these lines. We respectfully request our patrons to consult us in reference to any landscape work which they may have under consideration. Address, T. J. DWYER & CO., Cornwall, Orange Co., N.

When this is the case the stock should be “heeled” in the ground; this is done by making a trench, placing the roots in it, leaving the tree or plant in a slant- ing position, covering the roots carefully with | soil and pressing the earth firmly about the | roots with the use of the feet. Trees, plants and vines when properly “heeled” in these trenches, can be kept in good condition for several months while the stock is in a dor- mant condition. Stock that is received in a Dry or Frozen Condition should also be placed deeply in these trenches, with the soil firmly pressed about the roots and two-thirds of the trunk and branches buried in the earth in this way. Twenty-four hours is the usual prescribed time to keep stock under this treatment, but three full days is none too long, and when dry or frozen stock is held over in this way for that length of time, it is quite a guarantee that it will come out in good vigorous order. When stock is excessively dry, water should be used about the roots, but in no other ways. We Cannot Replace Stock Gratis The success of trees and plants depends on the good treatment and management they re- ceive after leaving our hands. We have no control over their planting and subsequent care, therefore cannot be held responsible for their future. Stock may be killed by excessive watering, or in cases of extreme drought from lack of moisture, by too deep or too shallow planting, or by exposing its roots to the wind or sun for an injurious length of time. If the stock is not alive and in good condition when received, please advise us of the fact at once, bearing in mind that we always give our patrons the benefit of any doubt that may exist. T. J. DWYER & CO., CORNWALL, N. Y. 5 We Can Do Your Pruning and Spraying We have in our employ at all times experienced men that we can send out to do prun- ing and spraying, both of your fruit trees and vines of all kinds, as well as your deciduous trees, shrubs and vines. This is very important work and should not be intrusted to the average gardener, but to men who have had practical experience and are skilled in this branch of horticulture. We are in a position at all times to furnish you with help of this kind. Please state what you wish to have done, then we can advise of the cost. We fur- nish all necessary tools for the performance of this work. The best time to do this work is from December 1st to April 1st although it is frequent- ly done during the Spring and Summer months. A few dollars spent on your fruits or shrubs in this way will put them in good condition for years. We have often by a few days’ work (in pruning and spraying) put apparently worthless stock in first class shape for a number of years to come. Write us if your ornamentals or fruits needed attention in this re- spect. Our Advantages Our land contains all the mineral elements needed to produce the hardiest, healthiest and thriftiest trees, those which are the longest lived, and which will produce the best possible results for the planter. For these reasons we claim great advantages from our soil. This is a matter of the greatest importance to every planter. It pays to produce the best and that “only.” It is one of the first laws of Nature, that in order to obtain the best, we must have the best to produce from. A very import- ant feature in connection with our trees is that grown upon our heavy, strong, rich, well-drain- ed soil, they are healthier, longer-lived, less lia- ble to injury from extreme cold, anu more pro- ductive than when taken from a light soil and that being furnished with a more abundant sup- ply of healthy, well-ripened and fibrous roots, they bear transplanting to a different soil and climate. Points on Planting of all Nursery Stock The following points should never be over- looked: 1st. Preparation of the Soil — Prepare a rich, deep bed of mellow soil, and have the land sufliciently drained to relieve the roots from j standing water. To insure a fine growth, land i should be in as good condition as is required for a crop of wheat, corn or potatoes. j 2. Pruning Before Planting — Nearly all of ; the trees taken from the nursery require prun- ing before transplanting, to balance the loss of roots, occasioned by their removal. The tops should be shortened in by cutting off half the last season’s growth of all the branches, but large branches should not be cut off close to the trunk, as it injures the vi- tality of the tree. All broken or bruised roots should be cut off smoothly up to the sound wood, so as to hasten the emission of new roots and fibres. 3. Planting — Make the holes large enough to admit the roots without any cramming or bending, and deep enough to bring the tree to its natural depth. The fine surface soil should be used in covering the roots and this should be carefully worked among them. If the ground is dry, it is well to pour in some water when the hole is partially filled. See that the ground is firmly and solidly packed over all parts of the root by exerting the full weight of the planter upon it, so that there will be no opportunity for dry air or frost to enter and destroy roots deprived of the full benefit of their natural protection. Omission to pack the earth solidly is a most frequent cause of failure in planting nursery stock. Fill the holes full enough to be even with the sur- rounding surface after the fresh earth settles. Always remove the label when planting. If this is left until the tree is grown, the con- necting wire often cuts into and destroys the tree or branch to which it is attached. Never use manure in contact with roots. When planting dwarf trees set them low enough to cover the stock upon which they are budded, but not lower. Large standard trees should be staked and tied, so that the wind will not loosen the roots. This should be so done that the bands will not chafe the trees. 4th. Mulching — When trees or bushes are planted they should be mulched or covered with a layer of coarse manure or litter from three to six inches deep for a space of two feet more in diameter than the extent of the roots. This keeps the earth moist and of even temperature. 5th. After Culture — Grass should not be al- lowed to grow about young trees or plants. The ground should not be cultivated for a space of at least one foot outside the roots. If the ground is poor it should be enriched with surface applications of manure. spraying In regard to this all important subject we would recommend our patrons to communicate with the Experiment Station in the state in which they live and get definite instructions about spraying for their particular locality, in bulletins published for the purpose. 6 THE ORANGE COUNTY NURSERIES. The Strawberry The strawberry is pre-eminently a home fruit because it is so easily grown, comes into bearing at one year or less from the time of planting and produces a large quantity of fruit that is much superior to that which may be found in the markets. All that is required for success is a deep, new rich soil, thorough cultivation, and a good supply of moisture at the time of ripening. The land should be made rich by plowing or spading, under a liberal dress- ing of manure, and be made fine and mellow before planting. For best and quick results add '/^ to '/2 per acre of any good fruit or vine fertilizer, and after being thoroughly worked into the surface soil, the plant should be set as early in the spring as the land will work up fine and mellow. After the bed or row has been established, all runners must be cut off as soon as started and the land be kept clean and cultivated up to the time the ground freezes in the fall. During the winter the bed should be covered with a light mulch of hay, straw or other material free from weed seeds, to prevent the alternation of freezing and thawing when the ground is not covered with snow. In the spring, after growth begins this covering should be drawn from the crowns of the plants into the space between the rows where it will serve as a mulch and protect the fruit from becoming covered with dirt during heavy rains. The varieties listed in this catalogue are found generally satisfactory in a wide range of territory. The insects or fungous growths that are seriously injurious to the straw- berry may be largely overcome by thorough and clean cultivation.

NOTE — We grow about all the different vavireties of strawberries and any sorts wanted not listed above we can furnish at about the same prices. Fall Bearing Strawberries They are really a new thing in the strawberry world and have come to stay. Under ordinary conditions they would bear a scattering crop of berries from June until November. Ordinary frosts have little effect on them. In order to get the most paying results from them, we advise picking or pinching the blossoms off until within three weeks of the time when fruit is wanted. The rule is to stop pinching the blossoms about August 1st, then we may expect ripe fruit about the last week in August. Prom 500 Fall bearing^ strawberry plants set out May 1st, there were picked on the 23rd of the following August — 4 quarts of berries and they continued to yield until November 11, when the last 3 quarts were gathered. During the week of September 12 to 17th, there were gathered nearly 100 quarts. Potting Strawberry Plants at Our Nursery. A half dozen berry experts have been working over them since they were discovered ten or twelve years ago. Now for the first time the Fall Bearers are out of the freak class. Now is the time for all lovers of strawberries to go into this new discovery in earnest. It is a new industry. Every household that raises its own berries or has room for a berry patch can and should have fall bearers. The fall bearers are almost as easily grown as the “June only’' kinds. The doubting ones will pay little attention to this new fruit and promising new in- dustry. They will come trailing along in a few years when fall strawberries are common place and the big market profits have been reaped by others. Join the crowd and plant some Fall Bearers. T. J. DWYER & CO., CORNWALL, N. Y. 9 We have the following Fall-bearing varieties: AMERICUS (Perfect) The plants are strong growers, hardy and make a good supply of young plants. The plants don’t seem to be injured by fruiting in the Fall. The fruit is large, fine fiavored and of an exceptional fine color. Price per 12, $1.50; per 50, $3.50; per 100, $7.00. SUPERB (Perfect) — The plants are good av- erage sized ones, strong growers and stand the winter well. The fruit is large rounded, dark colored, glossy, attractive. Price, per 12, $1.50; per 50, $3.50; per 100, $7.00. PRODUCTIVE (Pistillate)— The plants are large and bear a heavy crop of medium to large, fine colored fruit. The berries literally lay about the plants in heaps and piles. Must be planted with some perfect fiowering sort before it will yield at all. Price, per dozen, $1.50; per 50, $3.50; per 100, $7.00. AUTUMN (Pistillate) — The free-est grower of all the fall bearing varieties and the plants yield enormously, but being a pistillate it must be planted with some other fall bearing variety having perfect fiowers. The berries are nearly round of good size and very at- tractive. Pirce, per 12, $1.50; 50, $3.50; 100, $7.00. Pot Grown Strawberry Plants We have made a specialty of growing pot- grown 'Strawberry Plants for the past twenty- five years, at all times carefully observing the best means to grow and develop these plants, that they would give our patrons entire satis- faction. We are pleased to state we have suc- cessfully accomplished our purpose; evident from the fact that we are the largest growers of pot-grown Strawberry Plants in the United States. Our pot-grown plants are wintered in cold frames and can be removed with en- tire safety at any time our customers desire to have them shipped. We beg to advise our clients to set their plants as early as it is pos- sible to work the soil.

Raspberries Red Raspberries After preparing the ground the same as you would for strawberries, set the plants six feet apart between the rows and eighteen inches apart in the rows, thus making a con- tinuous row of fruiting, which gives one-third more fruit than by the hill system. The fruit of the Red Raspberry should be gathered every day, for If allowed to remain long on the bushes, it decays quickly in moist weather. The prunning, training and care are practically the same as for the Blackberry, and clean cultivation or mulching rather more of a necessity. ST. REGIS EVERBEARING The ‘‘early 'till late” Raspberry — Unlike any other Raspberry, the St. Regis yields a crop of fruit the season it is planted. Plants of it planted in early Ap- ril gave ripe berries of June 20th of the same year. For four weeks thereafter the yield was heavy and the canes continued to produce ripe fruit freely without intermission, until the mid- dle of October. The berries were large and beautiful, firm and full fiavored to the very last. Raspberries for four months! That’s what you get when you plant St. Regis — ^the new everbearing variety. Moreover, they are not only raspberries, hut raspberries of the very highest grade — in size, in brilliant crimson color, in firmness, in fiavor. Awarded the highest certificate of merit by the American Institute of New York. Price, per 12, $1.00; 100, $3.50; 1,000, $30.00. PERFECTION — The berries are large, a bright crimson color, and of uniform size from beginning to finish of picking. They ripen about the middle of June, and bear until Au- gust. Price, per dozen, 50 cts.; 100, $2.00; 1,000, $15.00. THE LOUDON RASPBERRY— The fruit is very large, exceptionally firm, of fine, rich, at- tractive color, and of the best fiavor. Plants per dozen, 30 cts.; 100, $1.50; 1,000, $10.00. GOLDEN QUEEN RASPBERRY— Yellow variety. It is without doubt one of the best flavored fruits that has ever been tasted. The canes have never been harmed in the least during the winter months and they have al- ways borne an immense quantity of fruit. Plants per dozen, 75 cts.; 100, $4.00. CUTHBERT — The best late hardy Red Rasp- berry, a variety that adapts itself to all condi- tions of soil and climates. The canes make a strong, vigorous growth and are exceedingly productive of large, late good flavored fruit, which holds its size to the end of the season. The berries are dark crimson in color and quite firm. Price, per dozen, 30 cts.; 100, $1.25; 1,000, $ 10 . 00 . MILLER RED RASPBERRY— Berry is round in shape, color bright red; core very small, does not crumple, has rich, fruity flavor. The time of ripening is the very earliest. Price, per dozen, 30 cts.; 100, $1.25; 1,000, $ 10 . 00 . MARLBORO — The canes of Marlboro are strong, hardy and productive; the fruit is as large as the Cuthbert, crimson in color, holds out large to the last picking and arrives in the market in good condition. Price, per dozen, 30 cts; 100, $1.25; 1,000 $ 10 . 00 .

The fruit is crimson in color, holds out large to the last picking and arrives in the market in first-class condition. Price, per dozen, $1.00; per 100, $6.00. Cap Raspberries — Pink Varieties COLUMBIAN (Pink Cap) — The .Columbian is a vigorous grower, with large fruiting canes, fully as large as the Shaffer, which is the most rampant grower and prolific yielder we have yet seen. In quality it is an improve- ment on the Shaffer, being sweeter when ripe and of higher fiavor. Plants, 3 for 15 cts.; 12 for 50 cts.; 100 for $2.50. SHAFFER’S COLOSSAL (Pink Cap)— The canes are strong, hardy and productive of large, handsome fruit, the last of the berries even larger than the first. It is a valuable addition to the cap family and especially valuable for preserving. Price, per dozen, 50 cts.; 100, $2.50. HAYMAKER — This variety has been thor- oughly tested and has never failed to make a good record. The Haymaker is not so dark as Shaffer or Columbian and much larger and firmer than either of those varieties. Never crumbles and stands up well in shipping. The Haymaker has demonstrated its great merit in time of drought, having passed through several droughts unharmed. It certainly has four points of superiority, viz; Vigorous growth, hardiness, productiveness and quality. After the past season’s fruiting of the Haymaker at our nurseries, we can safely recommend it to our patrons. It certainly is a valuable acquisition to the Pink Cap family and should be in every garden. Price, 12 for 50 cts.; 100 for $4.00.

We advise our pa- trons to plant liberally of this variety. SOU H EG AN — Enormously prolific of jet black berries, and the best in quality of any .blackcap; the very earliest to ripen. Price, per dozen, 40 cts.; 100, $1.75. KANSAS — A most desira- ble Black Cap in every re- spect.

Blackberries Plant in fall or very early spring, in rows from 6 to 8 feet apart, or in hills, 4 to 6 feet, allowing a space of one square foot for each cane; and all suckers not desired for the next season’s fruiting, must be treated as weeds. The critical time of growth is when the fruit is ripening, a large amount of moisture being needed to produce the best fruit; and to se- cure this the surface soil should be stirred once or twice each week or a mulch 2 to 3 inches thick be spread over the surface, to keep the canes upright; when loaded with fruit, they may he tied to stakes, or be suported by tying to wires stretched on each side of the rows, 12 to 15 inches apart. When grown in a strong soil, the canes, if made to branch by pinching, will be large enough to stand up without support. Under good cultivation the Blackberry is very little troubled by insects or fungous pests, but it will generally be best to spray the bushes before they start into growth, and again just before the blossoms open, with Bordeaux mixture for the leaf blight, rust and anthracnose, which are sometimes destructive in moist and warm weather, especially if the growth is rather weak. BLOWER — A very large Blackberry of finest flavor and jet black color. The canes grow upright and are perfectly hardy. This variety is one of the most productive in cul- tivation, begins ripening in July and continues until September; always sells for the highest market price. It is exceptionally popular among New York growers. It is claimed that 27 Blower’s berries filled a quart box and the yield was 50% larger than any other variety. If you do not have this valuable variety we hope you will try it. Price, each 10c; per dozen, $1.00; per 100, $3.00; per 1,000, $25.00. MESERAU — This variety originated in western New York, where the mercury falls below Zero each winter. The plants have nev- er yet been injured in the least during the winter months. It remains in bearing as late as September 1 to 10, the fruit selling for two or three cents higher per quart than other va- rieties. Its extreme hardiness, ^ large size, great productiveness and delicious quality make it a valuable acquisition. Price, doz., 50 cts.; 100, $2.50. ANCIENT BRITTON — One of the best vari- eties.

Price, per doz., 40 cts.; 100, $2.25; 1,000 $20. RATH BURN — A Blackberry that proved to be entirely hardy, having withstood a temper- ature of fifteen degrees below zero uninjured. The berries are large with large pips and small seeds. They have no hard core, in fact, no core is perceived in eating; all is soft, sweet, luscious, with a high flavor. Price for strong plants, doz., 50 cts.; 100, $2.50. LOVETT’S BEST BLACKBERRY— At the Orange County Nurseries we have found this variety to be a good grower.

Y. 13 Currants Vigorous young plants, one or two years old, should be planted in rich, rather moist soil, in hills 4 by 6 feet apart. Thorough and clean cultivation must be given and an annual dress- ing of two or three shovelfuls of good stable manure put about the bushes in the fall, or an equal value of some good fruit fertilizer be applied in the spring. The pruning needed consists of cutting out the old wood, that is more than three or four years old, in such a way as to give the bushes an upright form and produce a young and vigorous wood up- on which only a large and fine fruit can be grown. During the time of ripening, much fruit will be saved from being spattered with soil if a mulch of 2 or 3 inches is put around under the bushes. VICTORIA — Ripens ten to twelve days later than the cherry. Especially desirable for the home use, and also valuable as a market ber- ry. One year, doz., 50 cts.; 100, $3.50.

The Grape It succeeds best in a very warm location and in rather poor soil, but if planted where it is close and moist, with but little light, air, and sun- light, it is sure to be attacked by mildews, rot and anthracnose. The conditions of suc- cess in growing the grape are a moderate- ly vigorous growth of vine well spread out to the full sunlight and air, forcing the growth into a few canes, these bearing the fruit the present season and those that are to bear the fruit the next season; all other parts of the vine being prevented from growing by pinching as soon as they have made one new leaf, after the last pinching thin the fruit so that the vines shall not be exhausted by overbearing. The best supports for the vines to run on is galvanized iron wire, as the tendrils of the vines will cling to this; it is less expensive and the vines require less tying to keep them in place than if trained to a wooden trellis.

Fruit Trees No matter how well the soil may be prepared, how fresh the trees may be when received, or how well they may have been prepared for planting, if the work of planting is not properly done they may fail to grow at all or grow so poorly as to give little satisfaction. Many failures in tree planting result from the slovenly and imperfect way in which the work is done and the nurserymen are too often blamed for the failures. In planting, the roots of all trees should have a fine mellow bed of good soil which should be pressed firmly into contact with every fibre, leav- ing no air spaces around any of them; and every one should be spread out in a natural posi- tion, so that no two shall touch each other. Immediately in contact with these roots good soil should be very firmly pressed so that new roots will be encouraged to start out at the earliest possible moment. After the fine soil to the depth of three or four Inches is firmly pressed in place, that remaining is thrown loosely on top and not trodden at all, thus serving as a mulch.

Dwarf Apples Perhaps no other fruit is attracting so much atten- tion at the present time as Dwarf Apples, especially for garden and yard planting. They can be planted 6 feet apart and do well. They begin to fruit the second or third year, and bear abundant crops. The fruit is just as large, same flavor, etc., as that born on the standard trees. The great advantage is the early The trees never get over Very profitable, bear 4 to bearing of fruit, or 8 feet high, bushels per tree. We can supply the following choice Dwarf kinds: Bismark, King, Baldwin, Hubbard’s Nonesuch, Northern Spy, Wagoner, Wealthy, McIntosh, Gravenstein, Duchesse, Red Astra- chan, Maiden’s Blush, York Imperial, Sutton’s Beauty, Fallowater, Fameuse.

Pear Trees Although the Pear is not so largely grown or highly prized as the Apple, it is distinctly a home fruit and is easily grown. The trees should be planted about 20 feet apart and succeed best In a rather heavy soil, but will do fairly well on any but a very thin soil. The trees grow in a regular pyramidal form and begin bearing earlier than the apple. The planting and care are the same as for the apple.

We have selected three and four year old trees at 50 cents each; $5.00 per dozen. Peach Trees The Peach can only be profitably grown on high rather well drained land. While it may not be ad- visable to plant the Peach for profit on low land, the buds sometimes escape and a single good crop will repay the labor and care of growing and the long years of waiting. Peach trees can not be expected to live very long in any sec- tion of the country; the average life of the trees throughout the country is probably not more than 10 or 12 years. If trees are planted in very rich soil it is well to plant some trees to check a too rapid growth, especially while the trees are young, though when a crop of fruit has been set there is little danger of making the soil too rich.

Quince Trees Two or three Quince Trees in the home gar- den will be often a source of much satisfac- tion. They do best on good rich, heavy soil, underlaid with clay. On land of this charac- ter the trees seem to live longer and endure careless or indifferent cultivation. In order to obtain the best results from the Quince it is necessary that it have plenty of thorough cultivation and if planted on low land the ground should be drained so as to leave no standing water on it.

Cherry Trees The trees will live much longer if planted in turf land than if in cultivated garden soil and as they make very regular and shapely trees are well suited for growth upon the lawn or by the roadside. The amount of fertilizer needed is what is just sufficient to make a fairly vigorous growth, too rapid growth often resulting In the cracking of the trunk, and an early decay of the tree. .The fruit should be gathered in dry weather and be picked with the stem attached so that it shall not be crushed or bruised, otherwise it will decay quickly after gathering.

It is a very desirable vegetable and should be planted in every garden.

VICTORIA AND MYATTS LINNAEUS — Each, 15 cents; per dozen, $1.50, per 100 $ 6 . 00 . Asparagus The first vegetable of the Spring. This healthful fruit should be included in every well arranged garden. For best and early re- sults it should be planted on a light soil, though it can be successfully grown in any good garden soil. When planting Asparagus set the roots 8 inches below the surface of the ground and 12 inches in the row, covering with 3 inches of soil at first and filling in the trenches as the plants grow. It is highly im- portant that the Asparagus bed should not be neglected. Forking the beds in the early Spring should not be overlooked, as the early admission of sun and rain into the ground in- duces the plants to throw up shoots of a su- perior size. Keep the ground entirely free | from weeds the entire season, as they take I from the plants the strength required for their j own growth. About the first of September the tops shouM be cut off and the bed cleared ' of weeds. When this work is finished cover : the bed with 3 inches of coarse manure, which j will not only enrich the soil but keep out the , frost — very essential for early fruit. Aspara- i gus is a very profitable crop for market. The ; net income is usually from $100 to $400 per acre. When once established it is good for a number of years. Although there is a differ- | ence of opinion among growers as to the bene- fit of salt, we have learned from practical ex- ! perience if best results are to be expected cov- i er the bed with salt as soon as it is cleared and the manure forked in the soil in the Spring. Our plants are extra large and we would be pleased to receive your order for any quantity you may be in need of. We have a large stock of Asparagus and will be pleased to quote special prices on large quantities. Price, one year old plants, dozen, 25 cents; 100, 75 cents; 1,000, $5.00. Price for trans- planted two year old plants, dozen, 30 cents; 25, 40 cents; 100, $1.00; 1,000, $7.00. For Quick Results — We have in stock select- ed transplanted three-year-old plants of these varieties, desirable stock for those who are in a hurry to get Asparagus for their table use the second season after planting. Price, per dozen, 60 cents; per 100, $1.50; per 1,000, $10.00. PALMETTO — This is the leading variety at the present day, more of it being planted than any other single sort.

BARR’S MAMMOTH — Another valuable ac- quisition to the Asparagus family; a variety highly praised and well thought of wherever grown; nearly double the size and much more productive than Conover’s. Ripens a few days in advance of the Palmetto. CONOVER’S COLOSSAL— There is no fruit or vegetable that has had a more uniform suc- cessful career than this old popular standard variety of Asparagus. It has stood the test of time in different localities and varied climatic conditions as favorably as anything in the plant production that has been introduced for the past twenty-five years. Many large grow- ers use this variety almost exclusively. It is a reliable, adaptable sort, early; a good produc- er; of quick growth and superb in quality. GIANT ARGENTEUIL— The finest and most profitable of all Asparagus. Stalks of mam- moth size, bright and attractive; in quality sweet and tender. It yields immensely and is very early; it is a French variety and has proved a great money maker wherever planted. COLUMBIAN MAMMOTH WHITE— In addi- tion to the marvelous advantage of its white color, the Columbian Mammoth White Aspara- gus is even more robust and vigorous in habit, and throws larger shoots and fully as many of them, as the Conover’s Collossal. 26 THE ORANGE COUNTY NURSERIES. Ornamental Department Brief Suggestions to Planters What In this and similar climates, where great extremes of temperature are experienc- to Plant ed, it is necessary to employ only the most hardy ornamental trees and shrubs. Impressed with the importance of this fact and in order that our customers may be spared much disappointment and expense, we have omitted from our catalogue, as far as possible, everything which is liable to suffer from severe cold. We have also taken great pains to secure, both at home and abroad, all valuable hardy material so as to render our assortment of this class as complete as possible. An examina- tion of the catalogue shows what an extensive variety of stock is offered, enabling the planter by a judicious use of the same to accomplish any desired result with perfectly hardy trees, shrubs and plants. For the convenience of . planters we have grouped the trees under the following heads: Trees remarkable for their flowers. Trees of drooping habit. Trees with variegated and colored foliage. Trees with cut or dissected foliage. The shrubs have been similarly arranged, and parties desiring to make selections for particular purposes will And this classiflcation useful. For Parks and Extensive Grounds. No difficulty can be experienced by anyone in mak- ing selections for this purpose. But we cannot impress too strongly upon planters the im- portance and value of flowering shrubs for effective masses and groups. There are many who imagine that the Rhododendron and Azalea are indispensable. This is a great error. In this latitude both Rhododendron and Azalea require prepared soil and protection, while hardy shrubs like the Weigela, Deutzia, Spiraea, Hardy Hydrangea, Japan Quince, Double- flowered Almond, Lilac, Viburnum, Althaea, Paeony, Phlox and Japan Anemone, when planted in masses, produce a magniflcent effect, need no protection, and demand little skill or care in their management. What grand masses of bloom can be had throughout the season by a proper use of the various families! Then, the purple and variegated-leaved trees and shrubs may also be planted in such a manner as to afford a rich and striking contrast. Groups of flowering trees form superb objects at the flowering season, and it is strange that planters do not employ them more. Highly effective groups can be formed of trees and shrubs possessing bright-colored bark in winter. For Lawns and Small Places. Whatever specimens are planted should be of the flnest species, of moderate size, of graceful habit of growth and handsome foliage. A pendulous tree or one with variegated foliage may be occasionally introduced, and will add to the beauty of the grounds. Depend mainly upon dwarf shrubs for small places, and in selecting aim at securing a succession of bloom. Dwarf evergreens are very useful. T. J. DWYER & CO., CORNWALL, N. Y. 27 BRIEF SUGGESTIONS TO PLANTERS— Continued. When Deciduous Trees, Slirubs and Vines can be planted either in Spring or Fall. In to Plant localities where the Winters are very severe we recommend Spring planting Spring is the best time for evergreens generally, but they may also be transplanted successfully in August and early in September if favorable weather prevails at planting time. How Preparation of the Roots. Cut off smoothly all bruised or broken roots up to the to Plant sound wood. This prevents their decaying and hastens the emission of new roots and fibres. Preparation of the Top. This consists in cutting back the top and side branches in such a way as to correspond with the more or less mutilated roots, as follows; Trees with branching heads should have the small branches cut clean out, and the larger ones, intend- ed for the framework of the tree, cut back to within two or three buds of their base. In cases where there is an abundant root and small top or few branches, the pruning need be very light, but where the roots are small and the top heavy, severe pruning will be necessary. These remarks are applicable to all deciduous Trees and Shrubs. Ever- greens seldom require pruning, but Arbor Vitae and other Evergreens planted in hedge rows may be advantageously shorn immediately after planting. Directions for planting, mulching, and after culture, (see page 4.) Pruning Pruning, as practiced by some people, has the effect to render trees and shrubs unnatural and inelegant. Every tree, shrub and plant has a habit of growth peculiar to itself, and this very peculiarity is one of its beauties. If we prune all trees into regular shapes we destroy their identity. The pruning knife, therefore, should be used to assist nature, and handled with judgment and care; to lop off straggling branches, to thin the head of a tree which has become too dense, and to remove dead wood. Some- times it becomes necessary to prune severely to keep a tree from attaining too great size. Shearing may be practiced on hedges, but never on trees or shrubs. Pruning Many persons trim and shear them into regular shapes, imagining that regular out- Shrubs line adds to their effect and beauty. While symmetry and regularity of form are to be admired in a shrub, this quality should never be gained at the expense of health and natural grace. Each shrub has peculiarities of habit and foliage, and we should aim to preserve them as far as possible. Judicious pruning to secure health and vigor is necessary, but trim- ming all kinds of shrubs into one form shows a lack of appreciation for natural beauty, to say the least. Spiraeas, Lilacs, Althaes and Honeysuckles may be trimmed during the Winter or early in Spring, but the branches should only be reduced enough to keep them in good shape. The old growth should be occasionally thinned out and the suckers and root sprouts remov- ed when they appear. The best time, however, for pruning all shrubs is when they have done fiowering. The Hydrangea paniculata grandifiora should be severely cut back and thinned early in Spring. Pruning Use the knife occasionally to thicken the growth and preserve the shape. This Evergreens can be done in April or May, just before the trees start to grow. Ornamental Trees In Four Classes CLASS I. — A general Descriptive List of Deciduous Trees. CLASS II. — A list of Deciduous Weeping or Drooping Trees, described in their respective places in the Catalogue. CLASS III. — A list of Trees possessing remarkable characteristics of foliage, in three sec- tions — Cutrleaved. Varigated and Colored, and described in their respective places in the Catalogue. CLASS IV. — Coniferae or Evergreens. In order that planters may be able to form an idea of the size which trees and shrubs attain at maturity, a point which should always be taken into consideration at the time of planting, so that the specimens may occupy the proper position, we have adopted letters to denote the proper classes, as follows: A denotes trees which attain the largest size, 50 feet and upwaras. B denotes trees which attain the secondary size, 20 to 40 feet. C denotes trees which attain the medium size, 9 to 15 feet. D denotes trees and shrubs which attain only small size, 1 to 8 feet. Our object in the above classification is to lessen the labor and difficulty, as far as possible, of making selections adapted to particular purposes. 28 THE ORANGE COUNTY NURSERIES. Class.

Fragrant Paeonies The old-fashioned Paeony officinalis of our grandmothers’ garden, while still popular be- cause of their early flowering, have been eclipsed by the wonderful improved sorts in- troduced in recent years. They are the “Queen of Spring Flowers,” and are well adapted for massing in beds, and particularly valuable for planting in groups throughout the peren- nial or shruobery border, where their brilliant hues add attraction to all around. Their re- quirements are so simple — a good, rich deep soil, is not absolutely necessary, as they thrive almost equally as well in a partly shaded po- sition, and a liberal supply of water during their growing season being sufficient to give an abundance and wealth of flowers, which rival the finest Roses in coloring and fragrance and produce during their flowering season a gorgeous effect not equalled by any other flower. They are perfectly hardy, are not troubled with insect pests or diseases of any kind, and once planted take care of them- selves, increasing in beauty each year.

Hardy Hybrid Perpetual Roses Rosa Damascena Hybrida. More people appreciate the beauty and value of the Rose than of any other fiower, but com- paratively few succeed in growing it to its greatest perfection. It succeeds best in a deep rich soil, rather moist, and of somewhat a clayey nature. More persons fail in growing the rose, from not mak- ing the soil rich enough than from any other cause. Perhaps the best line of treatment is to spade the bed 18 to 24 inches deep, working in fine rot- ten cow manure and leaf mould to the full depth, and every fall banking up against each plant with rich stable manure, for protection. In the spring, this manure should be spread on the surface of the bed and spaded in, and if the soil is not too thin and dry a good growth and an abundance of blossoms will result. Pruning: In prun- ing, the work may be done either in fall or in March, the latter time be- ing generally pre- ferred for this work The bushes should be so pruned as to obtain a limited number of as strong canes as possible, the stronger the larger will be the fiowers. The Twelve ‘‘Best” Hardy Garden Roses (HYBRID PERPETUALS.) The twelve varieties listed below have been offered under this heading with a view of sup- plying the amateur, who is not familiar with the various varieties, and to whom a selection from the long list of Hybrid Perpetuals must necessarily prove confusing, as a collection which combines as varied a range of color as can be brought together in such a number of plants, with freedom of fiowering, perfect form, fragrance, hardiness and general excellence.

THE NEWS CO.. NEWBURGH. N. Y. ' y:'; A USEFUL i^&UlT. GUI0E .’; -T- ■ - f--: -V; rv-' It. is a salatary axiom, especially in this hpo^ making age, that no Tolume should he .Bl' sent before the public, without something be- yond a private reason for its appearance. It requires to be' shown' that other people have an interest to be served by It and the author’s own pleasure or advantage Is not alone con- sulted. The work of the late indefatigable Jdr,. Dwyer on Horticulture may be mentioned with the respect as an . ample treatise on, everything relating to the subject. There .is nothing of egotism (certainly not intention- al) in the, remark that his work sprung out of the author’s known reflection and observa- tion and have often been jotted down of an evening or during a journey, as the result of a daily experience. It is very likely that a more finished book might have been produced by the use of frequent quotations from other works; this, however, was no part of the orig- inal plan. At the outset of his task it was the author’s purpose to write a comprehensive book. It can be judged by the mere accidents, of manner and composition. The price is fifty cents.
