paper
We preface by saying that our sole
object in laboring in the "AgrieuItu-
raj Department. of the Advertiser, is
to aid in agricultural development in
the far west, and especially to encour-
hage the growing of fruit. The pub
Fishers will bear US testimony that our
labors are entirely gratuitous. AS a
feature in this effort, and to this end,
We have solicited reliable and known
growers and dealers to let the people
In this new western portion Of the
feeantry know where, how andat what
prices such commodities can be had.
We have solicited none except those
known to us, either in person or from
reliable information, to be honorable
and trustworth dealers in all respects.
We therefore say that we vouch for
each advertisement we insert.
ELLwANeER & BARRY, Mt. Hope
Nurseries, Rochester, New York, is
on old and reliable establishment,
The first trees we planted in Nebraska
were from this nursery. Not one tree
was lost, and can now be seen grow
ing in our garden-twelve years
growth in Nebraska. They all fruit
well.
I'll. HARRIS, Salem, on Erie, Broc-
ton, New York, advertises the famous
Salem" Grape. This is the leading
grape of the Rogers Hybrids, origin
ated by Mr.. Rogers of Salem, Mass,
and is hybrid between the native
and Black Hamburg. Mr.. Harris is
making a speciality of it.
THEO. ENGLEMAN, MascOutah, Illi-
nois, advertises No. Grape Layers,
and 1900 gallons pure wines. From
the quantity of wine for sale it is safe
to Conclude Mr.. E. is a successful grape
grower, and that his vines can be re-
lied on.
ERIE COMMERCIAL NURSERIES, Erie
Penn, 1. A. Plattman & Sprague,
offer complete list of almost every
thing in the nursery line, with prices
in detail. This firm sent US a
few grape vines as specimens of what
they offer, which we are free to pro-
nounce No. in all respects. They
came by mail the early part of this
month, when it was so very cold.
They were so well put up as not to be
in any way effected by the weather.
MCCULLOUGH, DRAKE & Co.
Sharpsburg, Ohio-are making a spe-
cialty of the Ives Seeding Grape, of
which we spoke at some length last
week. See their advertisement, pri-
ces, &c. This firm, too, sent us some
of their Ives plants as specimens,
which were as good in all respects as
could be desired-strOng, we'll rooted,
healthy plants. They came my mail,
and reached US during the cold wealth
er last week. They were put up in a
superior manner and reached US in
fine order.
OLD CASTLE NURSERIES,, I. G.. Max
well & Bros, Geneva, New York, can
furnish you with anything you want.
we have some trees and shrubbery
growing in our place, purchased from
this establishment in an early day.
This nursery has a reputation all over
the co ntry, and need only to be
dealt with to confirm all that can be
said of them.
THE PEOPLES NURSERY, r. L..
Robb & Co.; Bloominton, ILL.,, is a
very extensive establishment, and
offer a large stock of staple nursery
stock, wholesale and retail. They
want good reliable agents in every
county in the west. Let every body
help to sell fruit trees.
J. S. SHEARMAN, of the NOrthwes-
tern Nurseries, Rockford, ILL.,, does a
large wholesale business in root gratis
and small trees for nurserymen and
dealers. He will take pleasure in CIV
ing information and selling you stock.
How's NURSERY, near New Bruins
wick, New Jersey, Henry K. How,
Proprietor. Mr. How is making a
speciality of peach trees and small
fruits. It will be observed by refer
ence to his advertisement that he
offers all the valuable varieties of
peaches. He also has some remarka-
bly, fine Concord grape layers.
While referring to this matter
of procuring trees and vines,
we wish to call the attention of
ithose who intend to do so, to a
mode of obtaining them. The present
rates of express companies are
little short of downright swind-
ling. All small plants can be
obtained by mail at an expense not I'd
be compared with express rates. For
instance: One dozen good large sized
grape vines received by US last week,
bv mail, cost ttUepty-OHe cents. The
same, from the same place, by express,
would have cost not less than t1UO
4 dollars. We advise those who get
small plants and in small quantities
four pOundsand under in weight-to
have them sent by mail. Several OF
q onr advertisers it will be seen refer to
this feature. We presume they will
all send by mail when requested so to
do.
If any of our readers desire to -eFdel
ANYTHING from any of those advertis-
, ing with US, and wish Us to do so, We
will take great pleasure in ordering
. for them, without charge.
