Onur time is wholly devoted to the nursery business and we have spared neither time, pains nor money in growing the BEST OF EVERY- THING, good trees acclimated. We do not attempt to compete in prices with nurseries which run on a cheap basis and have practicaily no nurseryman aud have cheap ignorant, labor. We propose to do our own work and hire only skilled and intelligent as- | sistants. Mr. O. F. Brown, the senior member of the firm, is remarkable for his activity and the manner in which he graces all the departments of nursery work in his grafting room or budding field; you seldom hear a werd from him, his work wholly absorbs his time—but when a friend or stranger comes around he is courteous and as good company as you would be with, but business stops when he takes his mind from his work, and any bud put in or any scion cut and put in is questioned by him of its origin. habits, etc., or it never goes into our | field for cultivation. In short, asa pupil of his,must say I have visited some of the grandest gardens and nurseries in the boundaries of this American conti- nent, and met with, and talked personally to. the proprietors and foremen Elwaringer & Berry, Rochester, New York, Castle Garden, Coney Island, Central Park, Poughkeepsie Vassar College and nurseries and Kastman’s college lawns, and on to Shaw’s Garden, Lafayette Park, St. Louis; Little Rock and Houston and [have yet to ind a more agreeable and one who is more interested im the work they are engaged in. | have known him as a salaried foreman, and I now know him an ivéerested partner and no change except, he grows more enthused and makes greater strides to establish for the American people a business that will bear laurels for his name and exist long atter his remains have been returned to mother earth. He served 21 years apprentice to get the honor of being a nurseryman. * _ As tor myself [ presume to know the business in detail, have spent my entire ana) Pett a life at all its biddings and do know that we have greater advantages than at any age prior to this. Our immense fields of orchards and farms of strawberry plants are but evidences of profit, and as a nurseryman | have been accused of not taking life easy. but considered my time best spent in looking after all matters persona!ly, even though 1t be a cherry or a peach, apple or a rose, and often the beautiful rose or shrab would carry me from comfortable quarters at home to rigid roads over several counties to secure these to add to the long list, most would say, good enough. Whom you see stay at home and order scions aad buds from northern climes, froma pecuniary sense. As to my practical experience. I defy a good, sure and skilled workman to find fault at any place I have ever been able to find connected with the nursery fraternity. Having served 1 reasonableapprenticeship under Mr. O. F. B. and gathering from travel, observation and reading the ablest works on horticulture, floriculture, and the like, feel that I have only begun in the accumulation of ideas and methods best suited to further the grand calling. J do know the idea is pre- valent among some of the agricultural interests of this country that we are the meanest men and would stoop to do smaller deeds than any class of men. And at or near the same time, say had our men not visited them and secured their or- ders in the pioneer days of our business, to-day they enjoy fruits that they would have never known. We do admit that some traveling men do wrong and make undue charges. not only nursery men but all classes of men in all callings, but I have heard our broad-hearted ana free-speaking friend. John W. Roseman, say he had his first real tight. selhsh man to meet who was dealing in fruit. For instance [ will say our pioneer berryman, Mr. A. T. Horine, a man | have known since boyhood and who would ask for a more liberal heart, though he came among us from the north. J have the distinguished honor of saying that no man ever met with warmer friends and those who know what they say and lead in the fruit growing and help most in moving the barren ficlds to pastures green and making homes of the once little cabins, now white and as cheerful as if a gold mine was tound. ‘They too are at the helm to assist us to reinstate new lite and confidence in our calling, they are now reaping what you and others who are slow to believe and defer your plantings until your land 1s too poor for cotton and corn and you sell and buy more fresh to ruin in the same way while such sure, safe men as our Messrs. Raines, Mr. Merwin, ‘Sqr. R. H. C. Mitchell and Messrs. Stallings, get the farms cheap—they improve and gradually will take our country, help them and give us your confidence one time and we pledge ourselves as trae men to avoid evil and do as we would ve done by. We have decidedly the most fertile natural soil to be secured anywhere in our section especially adapted to nursery stock, free of insects and diseases com- mon among old nursery grounds. We claim to have the natural home of the truit tree. : To parties who wish to buy of any of the parties who occupy space in the back of this book we will say we did not solicit but few as you can see and none but what we know to be reliable and will heartily endorse them to you and be- fore purchasing anything in their‘line give them a eall or write to them. PES EMON TALLS; GADSDEN, TENN., Nov. 22nd, 1888, To wilOM IT MAY CONCERN: I have been engaged in fruit-growing over 2O years, have set out in or- chard over twenty-five thousand fruit trees, some of which I cultivated and eared for 5 or 6 years and when they bore fruit [| found them not true to name and in many cases worthless, and I think | know how to appreciate a reliable nurseryman and | regard a good orchard a necessity as wellas ‘‘a thing of beauty and a joy forever’ on every home and! am_ pleased to know that the masses are beginning to appreciate the valne as well as the pleasure of FINE fruits and it affords me pleasure to recommend to the favorable consideration — of those wanting fruit trees and nursery stock of any kind the PLANTERS’ "Nurseries at Humboldt, Tenn. | have known Mr. Thad. C. Ferrell ever since he wasa child and can heartily and unhesitatingly recommend him as an honesi, up-right, tair-dealing gentlemen and he knows all about the nursery business and | have known. Mr. Oscar F. Brown about 15 years and I have often said and I now repeat that I think Oscar Brown one of the most practicable, carefal and reliable nursery men | ever saw, he knows exactly how to handle nursery stock, and with such a team as Ferrell & Brown and ail the latest im- proved fixtures, ample grounds, sheds, &ec., &c., together with the good-will and respect of ail the honorable people for miles around they will certainly ‘pull through” suceesstully. Respectfully, J. W. RospmMan, Gipson, TEnN., Nov. 22nd, 1888. To THE PUBLIC: In view of the mmiportance of good reliable nursery men from whom to pur- chase stock to keep up old orchards and especially planting out new ones at this particular period when there is so much complaint of impositlon upon pur- chasers by nursery men I would like to say to all persons desiring to purchase nursery stock that | know ot no firm anywhere that I could more unhesitatingly endorse than Ferrell & Brown, proprietors of the Planters’ Nurseries, located at Humboldt, Tenn. Iiave known Mr. 1’. ©. Ferrell from childhood and know him to be an upright honorable christian gentleman. I teel that [ would be safe in saying to any of our horticultural friends that they can depend upon any thing they get from this firm coming up fully to representation. ‘lhe par- ties do much of their work and closely overlook all done by their agents. I would rather pay what would be considered two prices for reliable stock than have unreliable free of cost. Should we not as horticulturists give them our patronage in view of their standing A No. 1 as to character and competenc7. Respectfully, J.C. THarpe, Pres. of West Tenn. Horticultural Society. FRUITLAND, TENN., Dec. 20th, 1888. I have bought, set ont and cared for several hundred fruit trees, have bought them principally from home nurseries, and mostly from nurseries with which Messrs. Ferrell & Brown, proprietors of Planters’ Nurseries, were con- nected. I have bougut more fruit trees from Mr. Brown than any other man. I have always found the trees trae to nama and exactly as recommended. | therefore consider this nursery firm as reliable as any and would heartily recommend the u to the fruit growing people. J. J. Harbison. —— ’ Humpoupt, TENN., Dec. 29th, 1888. I have been personally well acquainted with Messrs. ‘I’. C. Ferrell and O. F. Brown, of Ferrell & Brown, of Planters’ Nurseries. for years and have had oceasion to be about the nurseries often and know that the growing stock re- ceives their personal attention. The firm can be relied upon in points of integ- rity and responsibility for their contracts. T. L. Huss, County Surveyor Gibson County, Tenn. Meprna, Tenn., Dec. Ist, 1888. TO WHOM 'THIS INTERESTS: I have been engaged in the fruit business tor several years and have plant- ed a great many trees and after several years found some misrepresented which proved worthless. I soon found I had to resort to growing my own trees. I have inspected the gronnds and stock of Messrs Ferrell & Brown and admire re their manner of securing scions and buds from acclimated trees in fruiting and personally doing their work where mistakes could occur. Their fixtures. such as bulletins and wells, cisterns with pumps and their immense packing house is good evidence of their arranging to not let their trees injure while being hand- led by them. I unhesitatingly and heartily endorse them to the fruit growers and feel they will get everything as represented. C. M. Merwin. Humpoupi, Tenn , Dec. 20th, 1888. To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: l take great pleasure in testifying that | have known the gentlemen com- vosing the firm of Ferrell & Brown for 15 years and know them to be first-class and practical nursery men. They have been very careful in selecting the varie- tles of fruits and those who order from them may be sure of getting what they order. I have made fruit growing my business here for 18 years and think [ know what | baye written to be a fact and not mere guess-work. R. H. Fisrer, Ex- Vice-President West Tenn. Horticultural Society. GENTLEMEN: I know Mr. T. C. Ferrell to be a reliable business gentleman and his part- ner, Mr. Oscar Brown, a conscientious reliable nursery man. I have tested them by growing irees to fruiting they propegated and found them true to name. I heartily endorse them and know you will get everything as repre- sented by them and their legally authorized salesmen. Respectfully, A. T. Hortng, Gadsden, Tenn. P. S.:—Mr. Horine is the pioneer fruit and berry man in West Tenn., and we consider his endorsment one highly prized as heis qualified to know the worth of reliable nursery men.—[T. C. F. HuMBOLDT, '!'RNN., Jan. 3rd, 1888. We. the undersigned, take pleasure in recommending Messrs. Ferrell & Brown as first-class nursery men and gentlemen of good business qualifications and perfectly reliable in all their transactions. L. K. Gillispie, Mayor, W C. Penn, Dr. E. E. Peete J.T.

The mest desirable soil for fruit trees is a rich loam, naturally dry, or made so by drainage. Sow cow peas in spring and turn under with a two horse plow, followed by a sub-soil plow, during August or September, Lay off the rows at required distances and dig holes at least two feet wide and two feet deep; fill the holes by breaking in the sides, commencing at the bottom and go- ing upwards. Usesurface soil in filling up. and with this mix a shovelful or two of cotton seed and stable manure compost well decomposea. Avoid the contact of the roots with heating manures. Selection of Trees. For this climate, experience has taught us that one year old trees, of thrit ty growth, are the most desirabie. Purchasers should bear in mind that such a tree can be removed from the nursery with all its roots; whereas a two or three year old tree cannot be taken up without cutting away a large portion of them. Success in transplanting 1s increased acsording as attention is paid 1n selecting well rooted trees, instead of heavily branched ones. Give as many sound roots to a tree, and as little head, as possible. We prefer to cut away every branch, leaving the body two feet high, and to allow the tree to form its head in its permanent place, rather than in the nursery row. To insure the earliest crop of fruit after transplanting, always select one or_ two years old trees. Iv 1s Best—For customers to leave the selection of varieties with us, so far as possible, merely stating the proportion of early. medium, and iate fruits wanted. In such cases we know that we will be held responsible for the suc- cess of the varieties sent. And ovr long experience in fruit growing enables us, in nine cases out of ten., to make a better seiection for our customers than they would make for themselves. Preparation of the Tree. Before planting remove all broken roots. One year old Peach or Apple trees. cut back to a naked stem two or three feet high, leave no side branches. ‘wo years old trees should have their branches cut back to half their length or more, the lower less than those above, cutting in shorter as you go upwards, and leave the leader the longest. Plant as deep as the tree was standing in the nursery row. except Dwart Pears and Cherries, which should be planted suffi- ciently deep to cover the stock from two to three inches. Planters can form heads and grain them to their own liking. In a word, if trees are to be shipped any distance it is better to plant young trees. And ~ —i(— another mistaken inea with many farmers in the ‘‘cotton belt’’ is: that after trees have been rudely set out in the orchard they mast ‘‘root hog or die.’ In consequence many often die and the remainder are not worth the ground they stand on. Farmer! If you wish to have (and surely all do) a supply of luscious fruit for your family give your orchard and vineyards the attention that your other ordinary crops receive. Time of Planting. In this climate, vegetation, although inactive in winter for the formation of leaves and new wood, is never so as to new roots. A tree transplanted 1a November or December will, by the ensuing spring, have formed new roots sufficient to give ita firm hold in the ground, and will grow off rapidly when active vegetation commences. Plant as early atter the first killing frost as practicable. Apple trees can be transplanted as late here as March, and in some seasons until the first of April, but success is increased if the planting has ve done in the Fall or Fevruary.

Express—Small bundles and boxes cost little more by express than by rreight. besides being safer ang going quicker. If shipped by express it 1s not often required that charges be prepaid. Fre1cgHt—lIf trees and plants are to be shipped by freight it is always best to send money to prepay charges. Excess of money, if any. will be promptly returned. : Packine—We pack securely in moss, for which a small charge is made to cover cost only. No charge is made for delivering stock to freight or express depot or post office. When so delivered, our responsibility ceases, and claims for damage en route should be made upon the forwarders, Misrakrs—So systematic is our work that these seldom occur; however, 16 will be a pleasure to correct any dissatistaction, if complaint is made promptly on receipt of goods. GUARANTEES-— We do not guarantee the life of anything after its delivery to purchaser. When we deliver we euarantee everything to be in good condi- tion; as we have nothing to do with its care or cultivation after that time, we can not be responsible. a4 Catalogue of Apples in Order of Ripening, Yellow Transparent, large yellow, earliest known.
