14 CATALOGUE OF THE ORANGE COUNTY NURSERIES. Crab Apples* No. I trees, 20 cents each; $2.00 per dozen. Hyslop.âLarge, roundisb, deep red with blue bloom, very pretty, flesh yellowish, excellent for cider and jelly. Popular. Late. Lady Elgin.âSimilar to Lady apple in size and appearance, tender, juicy and good, an upright, vigorous growth, earh^ and prolific bearer. September and October. Pear Trees. Plant twenty feet apart each way. Pear trees prefer a rich heai^v soil: still on lip-ht soils made rich by the use of fer- tilizers, the truit is of the best quahtv. The branches should be thinned outoccasion- --- â - -. ally; most varie- ties require heading back, especiallv when trees are young. We have ^the largest and fin- est stock of pear trees we have yet had; we have made our prices very low on this account. 8@^Please Re= member that we will allow a dis- count of 10 per cent, on all or- ders to the amount of ^i.oo and upwards, provided the same reaches us before July 15th. (Crates, etc., excepted.)

Worden Seckel Pear* Read what the Rural New Yorker says of the Worden Seckel : A re- markable pear. Half, or nearly half, is a bright crimson, the other half a golden yellow. The flesh is a dull white, -very juic)"; buttery, melting, and fine grained, with an aroma even higher than that of its distinguished parent. It vdll be seen that it surpasses the Seckel in its beautiful color, in size, and probably in keeping qualities." It is also highly recommended by Meehen's Monthly, Country Gentleman, and many leading horticulturists and fruit growers.
