CATALOGUE AND FRUIT GROWERS' GUIDE. A WONDERFUL CROP OF NEW PROLIFIC PEACHES. 700 BUSHELS PER ACRE. So much has been written and said commendatory of the New Prolific Peach, its wonderful productiveness, its high quality and its remarkable money producing- power, that little remains to be mentioned. There are times, however, when exceptions to this rule must be made in order to bring out in their true light the characteristics which go to make up a first-class market fruit. And so it occurs that we are privileged in showing a photo- graphic illustration of that famous "New Prolific Orchard," the property of Mr. John Clark, of Chelsea, Michigan. A careful estimate made by Mr. Clark of the 1898 crop from this orchard of 500 trees (all New Prolines), gives the average yield of 700 bushels per acre. A visit to this orchard by the writer, just previous to harvesting of this wonderful crop of fruit was a complete surprise. Fully ninety per cent of the crop went as first- class fruit, something we have never seen before on trees so laden. This orchard was planted in 1892, began to bear the second year, and excepting one year has borne a heavy crop each year. The fruit is always of the highest order, and with the exception of the Banner peach is richer and finer in quality than any peach grown. Thus is recorded the great triumph of one of our own introductions, and thus we hope to hold the confidence of the American people in the other good things we have introduced in late years, the Winter Banana Apple, Banner Peach, Brusseler Braune Cherry, Conrath Raspberry, C. de Nantes and French Pear. BRUSSELER BRAUNE CHERRY. This very promising new cherry, originated in East Poland, Europe. It was brought to this country about ten years ago, and put on trial at various expe
