Hiw 1931 Io m i sdio to do now bsn9DIO IS 391 SW Purchasers cannot fail to appreciate the advantage of dealing directly with a well-known firm, that has been engaged fifty-nine years in raising fruits for market, and testing all varieties, over that of buying of irresponsible agents, dealers and others who are but little acquainted with the business, having no fruit of their own growing to sell or exhibit. ai mo m bas Estonia The Nurseries are located on the branch of the Westfield and Camden Turnpike, two miles from Riverton, three from Moorestown, eight from Burlington and Philadelphia. A steamboat leaves the latter place for Riverton several times daily, and the cars running between Philadel- phia and New York stop at Riverton. Stages running between Pomona Nurseries and Riverton station connect with trains east and west. For time see first page of cover. ib o Packages for us should be directed to Riverton, N. J., either by express or by freight, and Money Orders should be drawn to PARRY P. O., Burlington County, N. J., and sent to PARRYS POMONA NURSERIES, Parry P. O., New Jersey. do te NOTICE TO PURCHASERS. Having had fifty-nine years experience in raising small fruits, with three hundred acres now in cultivation at our nursery, testing new varieties as they come into notice, and discarding those of least value, we now offer for sale a select list that can be relied on for profit. The prominent points are LARGE SIZE, HARDY AND PRODUCTIVE FRUITS. It has been found that of the many new seedlings that are annually brought forward, but com. paratively few retain superiority long. Our experimental grounds, on which the different varie. ties are grown under similar treatment, although expensive, are interesting and useful to those about to form new plantations, and all such are invited to visit our nursery and inspect the differ- ent fruits in bearing. 01 DODO OTOWE The character for accuracy, promptness and fair dealing which this establishment has earned and enjoyed for more than fifty years, renders it unnecessary for us to publish a list of references or testimonials of assurance that we give prompt and careful attention to all orders with which we are favored, or of the volumes of letters in evidence of our perfect packing, good condition in which plants are received, satisfactory count, etc. Fruit growers cannot fail to realize that suCCESS depends upon getting GENUINE, PURE, WELL-GROWN plants, CAREFULLY'and SECURELY packed. As we have devoted more than one- half century to the business, and having in our employ, at the heads of our several depart- ments, men who have been with us a quarter of a century and more, and are conversant and familiar with every peculiarity and characteristic of the different varieties of trees and plants, which, under our system of cultivation, guarded care, etc., render it next to impossible for our stock to become mixed or impure, or to suffer in transportation ; and as “practice makes perfect,” we are enabled to furnish trees and plants PURE and UNMIXED, at the LOWEST POSSI- BLE PRICES. Our packing season for Spring begins January 1st, and continues until June 1st, and our first shipments are to the most extreme points South and to the Pacific coast. In the Fall we commence in September, and continue through October November and until the ground is frozen in December. Good In presenting this, our one-hundred and eighteenth semi-annual catalogue, we are pleased to announce that our stock of trees and plants is of unusually good quality, more extensive than in former years, and that the atmost care and best attention will be given all orders. Being in direct communication with Philadelphia and New York, our shipping facilities are unsurpassed, while our experience and system of packing enable us to send trees and plants by mail or express in safety to any part of the country, however distant. 100290 C377510 D PARRYS' POMONA NURSERIES.

Care of Trees and Piants on Arrival. If not ready to plant on day of arrival, or if you have more than you can plant within a few hours, they should be at once healed in. Select a well-drained spot, dig a trench about eighteen inches deep, sloping on one side ; place the roots in the bottom of trench with the tops leaning up the sloping side. Spread out the trees so that the earth will come in contact with each and every root; then sift in fine dirt among the roots ; fill the trench partly full, and press firmly with the feet; then fill up level with top of ground and press again with the feet and cover with loose dirt. Trees thus 6 healed in” will keep in good condition a long time. Do not cover with litter or straw, as it will make harbor for mice during winter. If frozen when received, bury the package, unopened, in well-drained ground, or place in a cool cellar so that it will thaw out slowly and gradually without being exposed to the air. If they should appear dry or shrivelled when received, through delay in transit or any other cause, take them from the package and plunge into a tub of water, or bury the roots in the ground in an inclining position so as to cover one-half or more of the tops with the earth, and thoroughly soak with water and let it remain for twenty-four hours or more until they regain their fresh, plump appearance, when they may be planted. Planting.--Dig the holes wide enough to admit the roots in their natural position, without cramping, and deep enough to allow the tree to stand the same depth it stood in the nursery, except Dwarf Pears, which should be set a little deeper, so as to cover the Quince Stock on which they are worked ; throw the surface and subsoil in separate piles ; cut off smoothly from the underside all broken or bruised roots and cut back the past season's growth oftop one-half to two-thirds, leaving two to three good buds to each branch-except for fall planting in cold climates, when it is best to defer top-pruning until Spring, just before the buds start. At all times keep the roots carefully protected from the sun and wind. Place car wash nartly full, and press firmly with muvame in” will keep in press again with ind press firmly with y Foot; then sift i PARRYS' POMONA NURSERIES. the tree in the hole ; fill in with fine surface soil, working it in and among the roots, placing them out in their natural position; when hole is half full, pour in a little water and press firmly with the foot, filling all cavities and air space with earth so that it will come in contact with all the roots; continue to fill up and keep pressed until the hole is full, when it should be covered with loose dirt to prevent baking, being careful not to get too deep. Never put any manure in the holes. A little Bone Dust or good rich soil is best in the bottom of the hole and the fertilizers applied to the surface and worked in. A covering of coarse manure, straw, litter, hay, or even stones the first season, will retain the moisture, prevent injury from drouth, and be of great benefit during dry season. Small Fruit Plants should be set in pail of two or three inches of water and taken out one at a time as planted, and not allow the roots to be exposed to the sun or air. If not ready to plant strawberries on arrival, do not pour water on them in the packages or in the bunches, as they will surely heat and spoil. They may be spread out thinly in shallow trenches, with their crowns even with the surface, and healed in as advised for trees, and sprinkled with water and shaded for a few days. 1 00 . .. 25 40 00 30 00 30 00 3.00 2 50 20 00 ................. ..... 3 00 20 2 000 W b APPLES.

BISMARCK.-Bears fruit on two year grafts. Finest quality, finest color, Dwarf and ex- tremely prolific-most suitable apple for hot climate, yet the hardiest known. This most remarkable apple introduced from New Zealand a few years ago through the agency of a celebrated arboretum in Germany, prom- ises to take the place of almost every other apple grown in this country and abroad. It has already been fully tested in Russia, Ger- many, France and England, United States and Canada ; and wherever grown has proven a most astonishing revelation, not only in high quality, but also in hardiness and espe- cially in earliness of fruiting. A prominent firm boldly affirms that one year grafts bore as many as eight fruits and two year old trees seldom fail to produce good crops; that it is an excessive bearer and extremely hardy. The tree is of stocky short growth and when laden with handsome fruit at one or two years old, is very desirable as a pot plant for table or greenhouse decoration. The Lon- don Garden says that the Bismark apple is grand in every respect, its size and color stamping it as a valuable market kind. In addition to this, the tree is hardy, a vigorous grower. The apples are very sound, solid and heavy. The high opinion of the Bis- mark formed by experts when it was first brought before the public, has been fully borne out by its behavior since. It is espec- ially recommended for gardens when grafted on the Paradise stock. Fruit is large, bril- liant color and very handsome. Flesh tender, pleasant subacid, of distinct and most deli- cious flavor, unequalled as a dessert apple and very superior for cooking, and will keep in an ordinary room till March.

Prof. Budd, of Iowa Experiment Station, says in Rural New Yorker, that “the Japan « Golden Russet Pear is probably a native of “Russia. The tree thrives with him with “6 a luxuriance never reached by anything “truly indigenous to Japan. It fruits at an 66 early age very full, and he believes that in " the southern half of Iowa it will give “much satisfaction. As ripened in this “hot, dry climate, it is handsome, unique, " and really good for culinary use.

CUSTARD APPLE OR NORTHERN BANANA-The Paw Paw Tree (Asimina Triloba.)—This is a small tree, indigenous to the Middle and Southern States from western New York to southern Michigan, and southward to middle Florida and eastern Texas, but rare near the Atlantic coast. It attains its greatest development in the Mis- sissippi Valley, and especially along the trib- utaries of the lower Ohio River. Although it is hardy around New York, it is only pre. cariously hardy north of there. The Paw Paw tree belongs to the custard apple family of plants, and is the only arborescent species of the genus belonging to this country ; two or three other species, only low shrubs, also occur in the Southern States, but are not hardy in the North. Hos As a lawn tree the Paw Paw is well worth growing for its shapely form and ample, abundant and fine foliage, as well as for its fruit. Tree is vigorous, healthy and handsome, comes to bearing young, pro. ducing an abundance of fruit of tropical appearance, resembling a banana, and de scribed among the native fruits of Mississippi Valley, and pronounced the Prince of fruit bearing shrubs," and further states : 66. The 6 pulp of the fruit resembles egg-custard in "consistence and appearance. It has the 6 same creamy feeling in the mouth, and "unites the tastes of eggs, cream, sugar " and spice. It is a natural custard, too 6 luscious for the relish of most people. The 6 fruit is nutritious, and was a great resource 6 to the savages. So many whimsical and 6 unexpected tastes are compounded in it, that it is said that a person of the most “hypochondriac temperament relaxes into a 6 smile when he tastes a Paw Paw for the of ades, beginning to fruit produces delicious 884 ustard in the wall of 96.00.

The foliage of Mulberries is valuable for silkworms, while the fruit makes excellent chicken feed as well as a fine table dessert. The late Henry Ward Beecher said he regarded it as an indispensable addition to every fruit garden, and that he would rather have a Downing Mulberry tree than a straw- berry bed. We gitaroratado *** THE DWARF JUNEBERRY is of easy culture and is a good substitute for the Swamp Huckleberry, which it resembles in appearance and quality. The fruit is borne in clusters, as shown in the engraving, reddish purple in color, changing to bluish black. In flavor it is of a mild, rich sub-acid, excellent as a dessert fruit or canned. It is extremely bardy, enduring the cold of the far North and the heat of summer without injury. In habit it is similar to the currant, the bushes attaining the same size, and are liter- ally covered with fruit in June. The blos- soms are quite large, are composed of fine white petals, which, with its bright, glossy, dark green foliage, renders it one of the handsomest ornamental shrubs.

V SOLLENCE O ww ELEBES NEW YORK OFUETEIL From RURAL NEW YORKER : N GATE NOTES FROM AMERICAN INSTITUTE FAIR. EODOR KNUTS, GRAPES AND VEGETABLES. One feature of the American Institute Fair that attracted much attention was the display of nuts made by Parrys' Pomona Nurseries, Parry, N. J. It comprised eighteen varieties of chestnuts, French, American Black, Persian, English, Madeira and Japan walnuts, hickory nuts, pecans, filberts and butternuts. It showed the advance that has been made in nut grow- ing, and the interest manifested by visitors in the exhibit showed that the public are anxious to learn about the subject. The size of several of the varieties of chestnuts was a revelation to many. The quality of the nuts was left to the imagination, as "hands off” was the injunc- tion. Yet some had sadly depleted the collection, the superintendent saying that visitors would steal them in spite of everything. 19 For which display we were awarded 66 The Medal of Excellence,” also a special Diploma for a highly meritorious eschibit of improved edible nuts. sas OW) ETEREST Valuable Premiums.

KO PARRYS' POMONA NURSERIES, ELEAGNUS LONGIPES, A Valuable New Fruit as well as a Magnificent Or- . namental Shrub from Japan. Perfectly hardy, free from disease and insect vermin of all kinds. Very attractive in bloom, in May, after which un- til late in fall it is clothed in luxuriant green foliage, silvery underneath, and producing, in profusion, handsome bright red berries, which make delicious sauce. This fruit has been grown and highly prized in an amateur way for a number of years, but not until re- cently has its great value as a garden or market fruit been rec- ognized. We anticipate for this rare and valuable new fruit an immense demand, as soon as its great merits become known to the public. Extract from Wm. Falconer in Rural New Yorker : The Shrub Eleagnus Longipes is one of my special favorites. I have grown it for years and the longer I know it the better I like it. It is a native of Japan and belongs to the olive family of plants, and is perfectly hardy. As a garden shrub it grows to a height of five feet or more, is bushy and broad and thrifty; plants begin to fruit when two or three years old. The leaves are oval, oblong, green above, silvery beneath, and last in good condition all summer long, and are never disfigured by insect vermin. The flowers are small, silvery yellow and borne in great abundance, and in full bloom about the 6th to 10th of May. The fruit is oval, five-eighths Rose Saya bertan be VI grobes to tould cranberries anechildretely indeed, of an inch or more long, very fleshy and juicy, bright red and drooping, on slender pedicels on the underside of the twigs, and borne in immense profusion. It is ripe about July 4th to 10th. We use the fruit for sauce as one would cranberries, and a delicious sauce it makes, especially for children ; indeed, I like it so well that I have planted it in our fruit garden as a standard crop, as one would currants.

Is a Japan variety of the Raspberry or Black- berry family but little known in this country. From description of our correspondent in Japan, upon whose high recommendation we have procured a stock of plants. It is of strong, robust, upright, spreading habit, similar to the Raspberry, except that it dies to the ground every fall and the fruit is produced on the young growth made the next year, by which we should think it would be well adapted to the cold climates. Fruit large, hand- some, luscious, resembling in size and form the Strawberry; red in color and of sprightly sub-acid pleasant flavor; excellent for sauce orjams, or very good as a dessert fruit, ripening with the Raspberry. That this nov- elty may be thoroughly tested, we have placed it at the moderate price of 10c. each ; $1 per doz. ; $5 per 100 ; $40 per 1,000. VABLANC RUBU8-Sorbifolius. PARRYS' POMONA NURSERIES. The LOGAN BERRY (Raspberry-Blackberry.) This is a decided novelty, and at same time if it succeeds generally as well as at its place of nativity, it will be a valuable addition to our fruits. It is a seedling from the Aughin- baugh Blackberry, a wild variety, pistillate, of California, crossed or fertilized by polen of the Red Antwerp Raspberry. The plants are described as unlike either the Raspberry or Blackberry, and are of low growing habit more like the Dewberry, of very large strong canes or vines, without thorns, but have very fine soft spines like those found on Raspberry plants ; leaves of deep green color, coarse and thick, more like those of the Raspberry than Blackberry. The fruit is as large as the largest size Black- berry, is of the same shape, with globules similar to that fruit ; color, when fully ripe, a dark rich red. It partakes of both the flavors of the Raspberry and Blackberry, being a combination of the two mixed, a very pleas- ant, mild, vinous flavor delightful to the taste, not found in any other fruit, but peculiar to this alone. It is excellent for the table, eaten fresh or cooked, and for jelly or jams without an equal. The fruit is firm and carries well, seed small and few. The vines are enormous bearers. Ripening very early-beginning with Straw- berries and the bulk or nearly all ripe and gone before Raspberries become plentiful, ren. dering it a very valuable fruit for market. Genuine stock very limited. Beware of seed- lings offered by some. Price, by mail, postpaid, 25 cents each; $2.25 per dozen ; $18.00 per 100 ; $150.00 per 1,000.

The Blackberry which you now call LOVETT'S BEST is now in its prime of yield for this season. The plants are remark- able for hardiness and vigor and are free from rust. The berry is large, mostly glob- ular. The drupes composing the berry are large, quite firm though juicy. The flavor should be described as rather sweet than sour.

CHILD'S (BURBANK'S) MAYBERRY- An improved variety of the Mayberry, the result of a cross with the Cuthbert Rasp- berry, and described by the introducer as the most remarkable of all fruit novelties ever introduced. It grows in sturdy tree form six to eight feet high and ripens its fruits before Strawberries and a month before the earliest Raspberries. The bushes are distinct from other berries, with spreading tree like tops, large, bell-shape, pendulous blossoms which hang along the entire length of the branches in pairs or triplets. These large handsome blossoms are followed by great glossy berries, which are of a golden yellow color, and in- quality, sweet and luscious beyond descrip- tion. Its earliness makes it the most impor- tant of all fruits. Price, 2 yrs., mail or express, 15c. each; $1.25 per doz.; $8.00 per 100. Green plants, pot grown, 10c. each ; $1 per doz.; $5 per 100.

Med BY WM PARRY 405902 diese DOS MAXWELL'S EARLY.-It would be diffi- cult to overestimate the value of a blackberry as large or larger than Wilson's Early and ripening as early as Early Harvest, and this is claimed for Maxwell's Early.–Very large, sweet, rich, luscious, melting in your mouth ; no core whatever ; very productive; ripens hefore strawberries are gone, or at same time with Lucretia Dewberry and Early Harvest Blackberry, and is three times as large as the latter. Bush a low, strong, stocky grower, free from rust, double blossom or other dis- ease. Fruit growers will appreciate the immense value of a blackberry, healthy, free from dis- ease and double blossom, as large as Wilson's Early and ripening with Early Harvest. Such is Maxwell's Early, and it will be ex- tensively planted as soon as plants can be produced. ELDORADO is described as a very vigor- ous grower, free from mildew, rust or double blossom, enormously productive, even hardier than Snyder; fruit large to very large, ex- cellent quality, free from core. It originated in Ohio, and has been tested at many of the experiment stations, several States, and in Canada. It has been exposed to very low temperature, and has never been winter killed in the least, always producing an immense crop of the most delicious fruit, ripening with the early varieties. MINNEWASKA. Large, hardy, very pro- ductive; strong grower, free from disease, early and good quality. OHMER.—Originated by N. Ohmer, of Ohio, the originator of the Gregg Raspberry, which is better known, has been planted more extensively and with greater profit than any other black Raspberry. N. Ohmer has been probably the most extensive and success- ful small fruit grower of Ohio, and for him to disseminate this new blackberry, bearing his own name, is evidence of his high appreciation ERIE.

Claimed to be the best of the Blackberry family. As hardy as Snyder; as productive as any. The berries are far larger, and incomparably better than any Blackberry, and of unequalled excellence --soft, sweet and luscious throughout; of brightest, glossy black color. The Lucretia Dewberry has received the endorsement and highest praise from the best horticulturists in the country. Its eminent success in all soils, from Maine to California, from Minnesota to Florida, is something phenomenal in small fruit culture. Its trailing habit renders it less liable to winter-kill. first to the last picking. The bloom escapes the late frosts and the berries ripen up before the dry season commences. This is strictly a Dewberry, both in habit of growth and flavor of fruit. It bears a heavy crop one year after being planted. This season on my grounds 261 fine berries were counted on one plant which had only been planted one year. It is very early, commences to ripen May 13th. It is very highly flavored, glossy black. It is hardier than a blackberry and never fails. Its roots penetrate very deep, making it sure to do well in dry countries; fruits to perfec- tion on both black and sandy soil. It is very prolific, and from what F. P. Holland, editor of the Texas Farm and Ranch; E. L. Huff- man, Secretary State Horticultural Society, and others say, who see and eat it, it must be the finest berry in the world. I gathered 54 berries which filled a quart box, while it took 347 select Early Harvest blackberries to fill the same box, making it 6 times as large. It is ten days to two weeks earlier than the Native Texas or Dallas Blackberry. It ripens soon after strawberries and sells at higher prices. This berry, on my grounds, made at the rate of $966.00 per acre, count- ing the berries at 15 cents per quart. From American Gardening : Mayes' Hy- brid Dewberry.-Perhaps one of the greatest fruits that has yet been introduced in the dewberry line is Mayes' Hybrid Dewberry; it originated in Texas several years ago. The berries are larger than those of any other dewberry or any other blackberry. A strange peculiarity of this plant is that it requires no trellises or stakes, but can be easily trained into a tree form. The fruit of this new dew- berry is jet black and the flavor of superior quality; for productiveness it outrivals all dewberries or blackberries, as high as $966 per acre having been realized from the sale of this berry, the berries readily selling at 15 cents per quart. The Mayes' Hybrid Dew- berry is quite hardy, and it will no doubt flourish and succeed where the Lucretia dew- berry does. ALBINO WHITE DEWBERRY. — This new berry originated in Texas and is claimed to be perfectly hardy in any part of the United States or Canada. It is an entirely distinct variety and differs from all dewber- ries in the shape and appearance of the leaf, which is smaller, more finely cut, and of the most lustrous shining green color. But the greatest peculiarity is in its great productive- ness, large size and extra fine quality of the fruit. The originator writes: "The new White Dewberry is a wonderful bearer ; it will yield fully three times as much to the vine as any other.

It is a very rapid grower, perfectly hardy in all parts, succeeding in all soils and growing six to ten feet high with very stout stem the first summer, with magnificent leaves five to six feet long, giving a good tropical appearance.

Scott, in his Suburban Home Grounds, thus speaks of it: “It is remarkable for the size and showiness of its white blossoms, which make their appearance in April, before the leaves, and cover the tree like immense snowflakes. They are two to three inches in diameter. Those who have been familiar with it only in the woods can form but a poor idea of its beauty when grown in rich soil and open exposure. In such places it is not only superb in its April crown of white blossoms and its mass of summer leaves, but in autumn its foli- age, turning to a deep red, makes the tree a brilliant companion to the varied-hued Maples, the golden Sassa- fras, the scarlet Oak and the glowing bronze of the Liquidamber. The fruit is scarlet." Adding that trees should be obtained from a nursery as those taken from the woods rarely grow well or become well formed trees.

THE WONDERFUL SIBERIAN FORAGE PLANT Perfectly hardy in Siberia and flourishes in the bot and dry climates of the Indies, and will be admirably adapted to the arid and barren sections of our Southwestern States where our native grasses sometimes fail. It needs no irrigation, no cultivation, no ma- nuring, no replanting ; once planted it stands forever if desired. Endures the severest drought and will flourish where no other forage plant will grow. Young shoots and leaves can be eaten as a table vegetable like asparagus. Stems and leaves, green or dry, are greatly relished by cattle, horses and sheep, and are more nutritious than clover, lucerne millet, corn or any other forage plant. Grows 10 to 14 feet by June and gives three to four cuttings a year. Produces 100 or more tons of the most excellent and nutritious green forage to the acre. A perfect boon to cattlemen in dry and barren countries, and yet succeeds admirably in moist ground.

HAMMOND, Seedsman, Decatur, Van Buren Co., Michigan, Largest Grower of Seed Potatoes and Farm Seeds in the w STARR APE ugh kept in a warm, The skin is perfect Rural New Yorker : William Parry, of Parry, N. J., again sends us a specimen of the Starr Apple. It was received August 1. August 14 the apple was in perfect preserva- tion, though kept in a warm, dry room. It measures twelve inches in circumference, oblate in form, with rather deep cavities. The skin is perfectly smooth and green, without any shading of other color. To those who like an acid apple, the Starr will please them to eat out of hand. As a cooking apple, we CANNOT MENTION ITS EQUAL among those ripen- ing at the same time. The flesh is white, perfectly tender, sprightly and acid. The skin is very firm; no doubt it is an excellent shipper. the Starr will please tu JOHN T. LOVETT, Little Silver, N. J., and introducer of many valuable new fruits : The Starr Apple, with its brisk, sprightly, sub-acid flavor, and its smooth, creamy texture, is the most refreshing and delicious of all the summer apples I have yet seen. Adding to this its beautiful form and smooth skin, you have in it a beautiful, as well as a highly-flavored fruit. In size it is just right, being large, but not over sized. If the tree is a good grower and prolific you have in it, I think, a most valuable apple. It's skin is so firm it will doubt- less stand shipping well. We can also furnish an extended list of commendations, with description of Starr Apple, application.
