DON’T READ THIS!
It isn’t generally read.
But if you have time and should, thanks for courtesy shown.
This, our 1908 Catalog, we have endeavored to make a plain, frank salesman, visiting the homes of thousands of our old customers and many other thousands whom we wish to make customers, and who, we believe, are interested in good trees and where they can be purchased at the right prices. Not cheap trees that are expensive at any price, but the best trees at the right price.
A glance at the pages will convince you that it is easy to select the trees and plants best suited to your particu- lar locality and needs, and easy to order by simply filling out our printed order blank and to get the trees you want and when you want them.
Long, tedious scientific and theoretical discussions, long and extravagant.descriptions have been omitted, we believ- ing the short pointed statements and descriptions, assisted by truthful photographic illustrations, sufficient to enable
the business man and intelligent but busy farmer or fruit grower to select the trees, plants and varieties best suited to his needs. They contain the essence of our twenty-one years’ experience in Southern fruit growing, and if the facts stated and suggestions offered are noted and faith- fully followed you cannot go far amiss.
Thanking the thousands who buy from us annually as well as all past customers for their liberal patronage, which has made our success in the past, and soliciting a continu- ance of same, together with the orders and patronage of thousands of new customers, upon which our future de- pends, we beg to continue _as

Removal of General Office The removal of our General Office from Jacksonville to Macclenny, Florida, where a el
the main division of our nursery is located, has been made for the sole purpose of bringing in closer touch the growing, shipping and sales department of our business, thus enabling the management to give a closer
personal supervision to all branches of the work.
At Macclenny we have one of the finest nursery plantations and equipments in the South.
Our facilities are complete in every particular—commodious offices and packing houses, well arranged and irrigated packing grounds, box factory, including saw mill; in fact, every convenience for the speedy and careful execution of orders.
We will continue to maintain City Office at No. 28 East Bay St., Jacksonville, as in the past, and extend a cordial invitation to all our friends and patrons visiting Jacksonville to give us a call and make our office headquarters while in the city.
The leading fruit of the South. the peach ranks first.
PEACHES.
Viewed either from the standpoint of the commercial orchardist, the farmer or the town gardener, If proper varieties are selected and good trees planted it succeeds over a wider range of country than any other
fruit. A rival of the apple for first place as a market fruit; is loved by all and is the easiest and simplest to raise.
In many sections of Florida and in South Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana the growing of the South China type of peaches is taking first place. From a few scattering express shipments of this type of Peaches a few years past the out- put has leaped to hundreds of carloads, and the more widely it is known on the market the more popular it becomes. This type of peaches, usually known as Florida Peaches, is just beginning to be known and recognized on the markets of the North and East. Millions of fruit loving people anxious for the first good peaches of the season now know little of this superb strain or type ripening in May and June, they mistaking it when seen on the market for the poor tasteless varieties of the Alexander class, ripening in the more northerly peach sections in June and July. But once tasted, they realize the superior flavor and will have no other so long as they continue in the market. They embrace three essential points—Earliest to Ripen, Best in Quality, Best Keepers in Transit. A thousand car- loads annually of this sunerb type of peaches would only serve to nicely intro- duce them on the great markets of the country so as to create a demand on its merits and realize the best prices.
The superior points in favor of the South China type of peaches can be emphasized more strongly in recommending them for the home orchard and for local market than for commercial shipments. No one appreciates early ripening and superior quality more than the family and the local market. Every farm should have an abundant supply for both.
Following the name of each variety will be noticed two Bold Faced Letters indicating the range of adaptability, the key for

Classification of Types or Races. For the benefit of those desiring to know the class in which each variety belongs, we list them with abbreviations in italics. Thus (Sp.) means that variety belongs to the Spanish race or type; (Per.) to Persian race or type; (N. C.) to North Chinese; (S. C.) South Chinese; (O. B,) Oriental Blood. Adaptability of Varieties. In planting peaches in the lower South, and especially in Florida, it is of utmost importance that varie-
ties are selected that are adapted to
‘the particular section in which they
are planted.

Packing Peaches at Our Komoko Orchards. AA (S. C.) Seedling of the Angel, originated
’ Hall Ss Yellow. by Mr. R. E. Hall, of Volusia County, Fla.,
and sometimes called the Bonanza Peach. Medium to large size, nearly cov- ered with red; flesh deep yellow, red at the pit; firm, rich, melting and delight- ful sub-acid flavor; keeps and ships well. This variety and its parent, the Angel, should be plafited extensively in Florida for home use and canning, they being among the best varieties that can be grown in Florida for canning. Ripens June 25 to July 5.
Heath Cling or Heath Late White.
XX (Per.) Large oval with apex; skin white, slightly tinged with red; flesh pure white, juicy, sweet and good flavor; an excellent canning variety. Sep- tember 1 to 15.
AA (S. @) The originator, Mr. Frank Howard, of Howard. Ludlow, Vt., who has a bex utiful place at Tangerine, Fla., where the peach originated, and has been grown by him for past eight years, says of it:
“It is a peach nearly as early as the Jewell and far ahead of it in size, beauty and shipping quality. If I was after a fortune in peach growing I would plant many acres of them.
“The Howard peaches I shipped to New York along with Jewells sold at an average of from $1.00 to $1.50 per crate higher than the Jewells and sold throughout the season from $1.00 to $1.50 above the highest quoted price. I have a letter from Messrs. Wessels & Co. in which they say they sold them to their best trade and had a market for an unlimited quantity and that the Georgia peaches or any others would not interfere with them. Its advantage over the Jewell are: larger size, more beautiful coloring, a better bearer, more thrifty tree, and a better shipper. ,
“My peaches have always netted me good prices; have always shipped by express.’
It is the peach for the small grower who cannot ship in carload lots. A sample crate of the Howard Peach received by us about May 20 in an
over-ripe condition fully bore out what Mr. Howard had said of it. It was in- deed a surprise to see peaches of such size and such color so early in the sea-
son. The fruit measured from 2 to 2% inches transversely and from 2% to 2%
longitudinally. Shape nearly round, regular in outline, with a slight prominence on suture side, a small straight point, suture well marked at stem end but almost entirely dis- appearing at blossom end; color light green, shading to creamy white almost entirely overspread with bright red shading to very dark red on side exposed to light. The highest colored Peach we know of the South Chinese type; the flesh is white, firm and meaty, streaked with red from skin to pit; juicy, sweet and especially good flavor; no trace of the bitter or noyau so frequently found in peaches with Peen-to parentage: skin tough with very lit- tle fuz; clingstone; pit small. Claimed to ripen May 5 to 15. Over-ripe samples received by us about May 20.
PRICE: Standard grade 50c each, $4.00 per 10; Medium grade 40c each, $3.50 per 10; Light grade 35c each, $3.00 per 10.
Imperial AB (S. C.) Verv large, round,
oblong; ‘skin whitish yellow, freely
wshed with red: flesh slightly red at pit; sweet, juicy, with decided sprightly tone; quality best. In the e»mmer- cial orchard this variety has proved itself to be one of the best for North Wlorida and Sou:h Georgia, Alabama, Mis- sissippi and Louisiana planting. The Peaches ripen more evenly, larger size, and are more attractive than any other June 25 to July 5.

TREES TRUE TO NAME. Why of course. We give as broad a guarantee as any reliable nursery and are prepared to live up to it.
We not only guarantee all trees true to name, but guarantee all trees and plants or- dered {rom this Catalog to be healthy and to reach you in good condition. Money re- funded or orders refilled if any goods from us do not prove up.
The moving of our general offices to the nursery plantat.on enables the officers of our company to give the closest persoral attention to propagating, cutting buds and scions, digging, packing and shipping. No nursery in the South of similar size receives as close personal attention from the heads of the firm as does ours.
Our Peach Orchards 15 Months from Planting.
PECANS | And Other Nut Trees. _
What the Olive was in ancient times to the people in Asia Minor and Southern Europe, the Pecan is and will be to the people of the South. Yes, even more. The tree is more majestic and stately, it is more hardy and thrifty, and the fruitage can be used for a greater range of purposes than the olive.
The Pecan may well be termed the King of Nuts. In the forest it rears its stately head above its fellow trees, as if proud of the load of riches it carries in the form of sweet luscious nuts, the like of which will, where the best, thinnest-shelled and most prolific varie- ties have been selected and disseminated, become the leading, most staple and remunerative horticultural enterprise of the South.
Adaptability and Soil. The Pecan is indigenous ee eo throughout the lower Mis- sissippi Valley and its tributaries. Old bearing trees, thriving as if in their native valley, are found in all parts of the South, prob- ably springing from selected seed planted by early settlers or In- dians. Pecan trees adapt themselves to and thrive on a wide range of soil; the alluvial soils of the river bottoms, the rolling red lands, the clay loams, the sandy pine, the flat woods and the rolling lands of the more immediate coast region seem equally well adapted. Fair specimens of trees are found as far south as the Manatee River in Florida and as far north as Central Illinois.
Economic Value. The Pecan ranks first as a table EE Olas) a dessert nut. It ranks first
in quantity of fat oil; it ranks first in food value per pound over all nuts. It is acknowledged by confectioners as the richest and most valuable. In the production of oil it gives the greatest quantity of
the richest nut oil. Supply and Demand. Few people realize the quan- Avenue of Pecan Trees ties Laas eee ms tity Of nuts consumed in the on our Macclenny iia: pe lime United States. Over four and a half million dollars ($4,500,000.00) Plantation: See worth of nuts, all inferior to our pecans, and over four hundred
thousand gallons of nut oil are imported annually.
With these facts before us there is no logical reason or argument for supposing that the standard varieties of paper shell pecans will sell under twenty-five cents per pound wholesale for the next quarter of a century or longer. Their field for practical production is the cotton belt and their highest perfection is attained throughout the Gulf Coast States. We have the world for a market and twelve months of the year in which to market them. t : ; Tate: é
When we consider that all nuts imported and all others grown in this country are inferior in quality, compared to the pecan, and the — scope of the market we have for same, compared to the limited territory in which the best grades can be successfully and profitably grown, it should forever put at rest, in the minds of the timid, the fear that they will live to see the day of overproduction of this destined-to-be most valuable of all horticultural products.
$ 7 A ten year bearing record has been kept of the yield from one budded pecan tree planted in Production and_Frotit. and Profit. 1892. The tree was planted on an average grade pine land, had good normal care, but no bet- ter than any orchard or grove tree should have. The variety was one of the Standard sorts, but no more prolific than many other varie- ties now being propagated and offered by leading Nurserymen.
In the following tabulation we give quantity borne by the tree each year, the quantity that 1 acre, 27 trees, would produce and value at 25c. per pound.

“Austin, ‘Texas, December 4th, 1906: Pecans are now selling here at 15 and 18 cents a pound and there is a lively scramble among buyers at that price. For the first time Northern and Eastern houses have sent buyers into this section to secure pecans direct. Usually the big confectionery houses depend upon the local commission men for their supply. ‘This year fearing that the ‘supply would not be ote equal to the increased demand, their own men have been scouring the country. ; ; am
“A good grade of large soft shell pecans is almost impossible to get, those fortunate enough to have them are getting fabulous prices. —
Those being offered for sale are small and the majority have tinick hard shells, but every grade is being eagerly gobbled up.”

The greatest horticulturist of his time, Luther Burbank and the Pecan. [ie ora ear California, in con.
vefsation with a fruit grower from Texas, had this to say: “If I were a young man I would go y to Texas, knowing as I do the possibilities of the pecan industry, and devote my life in propagat- ing new species of the pecan and doing the same work there in nut culture as I have done here in other lines of horticulture. Your pecan is superior to our walnut and you are standing in your siete = own light; why not develop it? I cannot think of any kind of diversification likely to pay the Y Ga t Southern farmer as well as pecan growing. Cotton will not always be ten cents a pound; when , it gets down to five and six cents again the income from a grove of pecans will be very accept- y d ie able. Cotton can be raised between the trees while they are small and when they get large enough y ! = to shade the land, the income from them will be greater than that from a much larger area in ( 28
cotton, even at present prices.” What he says about Texas applies equally throughout the entire cotton belt.
Live and Win. Pecan growing as compared with Life Insurance. An amount equal to the annual premium on a $5,000.00 life insurance policy in- vested in planting a pecan grove for five successive years will in a few years earn annually an amount equal to the face of the policy and increase annually. You don’t have to die to reap the reward. You can live and enjoy it. Your widow, your children and your children’s children can enjoy the annual income after you have passed away.
As an Investment. Parents and guardians of children and young men wishing to make a small investment where it is surest and best will find in a pecan grove safety and surety of an- nual incomes throughout life, which can be reached by no other investments.
Do not confuse the price of Budded or Grafted with cheap prices that may be quoted for seedling trees. If seedling trees are wanted see our prices on page 9.

Embracing all the qualities of a perfect nut in shape, color, thinness of shelland partitions, plumpness, color and quality of kernel, vigor and prolifieness of tree, it is ideal. The original President tree was grown from seed secured by us f:0m Bagdad, Florida; was grown in nursery, sold and sent out by us in an order for seedling pecan trees. Several years later our customer showed us samples of the nuts which were par excellence even off the young tree producing its first fruit. We

Other Nut Trees.
Japanese Walnuts. The only walnut that we can rec- ommend for the lower South. In
appearance of foliage resembles other walnuts. Trees are of rapid growth, inclined to make low spreading head, but can be trained into almost any desired shape. Leaves are of immense size and a charm- ing shade of green, making a desirable yard or street tree.
While all other types of walnuts when planted in the lower South die in a few years without any apparent cause other than lack of acclimi- tization, the Japanese thrives and produces abundant crops. The fruit is borne in great clusters, (see illustration), five- and six-year-old trees often producing from % to 1 bushel of nuts. It is a neglected tree, not receiving the attention from fruit growers and farmers that it should.
Sieboldiana (Japanese) Walnut.
Meats Easily Extracted. The shell of the-Japanese Wal- nuts are thicker than that of the California or English, yet by no means a hard nut to extract the meat from. By simply dropping the nuts into boiling water for a few minutes and cracking by a slight tap while hot the shell readily parts and kernel can be extracted whole. (See illustration.) The ease with which the kernels can be extracted whole render them very valuable for confectionery and other purposes where whole nut kernels are used. Trees are heavy and stocky with an abundance of fibrous roots which renders the transplant- ing as easy as apple or peach trees. Prices of Japanese Walnuts,

JAPANESE PERSIMMON (oesires
A Japanese fruit that is slowly but surely working its way into popularity. The growing of Persimmons in the South, both for market and home consumption is not an experiment so far as the production of the fruit is concerned. There are but few markets, however, that will. at the present time, handle the fruit to good advantage, as the majority of the fruit- eating people have not learned to recognize the good quality of this most valuable luxury; on the markets, where it has been offered for several years past, the people have come to know its value and there is a demand for same at remunerative prices. Shipments have been made to England with good results.
The Japanese Persimmon when grafted on the native Persimmon stock will grow on a wide range of soil in the South, and is adapted from Southern Florida to the Virginias; will grow well on light sandy soils and is better adapted for very poor land than any other fruit. Fruit for the market should be shipped just as it begins to mature, and directions as to how to eat should be printed on each wrapper, and fruit dealers should be instructed to display only the ripe fruit.

PLUMS.
Plum culture has been steadily increasing since the introduction of the Japanese type, and there are now many large orchards throughout the South that are proving very profitable.
Ih the description we note the origin of the different varieties and make special note of those that we think are adapted to Flor- ida planting. All varieties listed are well adapted for Georgia, corresponding latitudes, and the States farther north, and should be more generally planted.

(Japanese.) A vigorous, hardy, upright tree; produces Red June. abundantly. Fruit, medium to large; deep Vermillion red, with handsome bloom, very showy; flesh light lemon yellow, slightly sub- acid, best of qualities; ripens in June. This variety has proved a great success
in Georgia the past few seasons. Buds secured from its introducer, who says of it: “This is Terrell. a new variety originated by Mr. Jay Terrell, of Hastings, Florida, for whom it is named. This is probably a seedling of Excelsior. The tree is a strong, healthy grower, very similar in character of growth to Ex- celsior and also like Excelsior in that it is a heavy annual bearer. The fruit is of large size, 1% to 2 inches in diameter; nearly round, slightly ribbed at suture, terminating in blunt point. Color at maturity a beautiful reddish yel- low somewhat mottled, covered with purplish bloom; assumes a wine-red when fully ripe. Flesh greenish yellow, meaty, sweet, toned with sufficient acidity to give a fine flavor, juicy; quality excellent; pit very small; clingstone. We have no hesitancy in recommending the Terrell as one of the finest varieties, if not the finest variety, for all parts of Florida ‘and the Gulf coast country.”’ Wi Large, deep maroon-red of the Kelsey type. Long-cor- / ickson. date or oblong-pointed; flesh firm, deep amber-yellow, clinging to the small pit. There is apt to be a hollow space about the pit. Of

PEARS.
For planting in Florida and other extreme Southern points, we only recommend Le Conte, Keiffer, Smith, Garber and Cincincis. Other sorts listed are adapted to some parts of all Southern States except Florida. As a rule Pears should never be allowed to ripen on the trees; pick them about grown and ripen in a dark, close place.

s 2 s New, originated at Fruitland Park, Fla., and first called Cincincis. to our attention by the late Major O. P. Rooks, of that place, who highly recommended it and pronounced it the best Pear for plant- ing in Southern Florida. A member of our Company saw a tree of this variety at Fruitland Park hanging full of beautiful fruit while other Pear trees in the same vicinity were practically barren. We have fruited this Pear in our own grounds for several years and found it to be all that Mt. Rooks claimed. The tree 1s a strong, vigorous grower, more exempt from blight than the Le Conte, and comes into bearing at an early age, usually producing fruit the fourth or
fifth year after planting. Fruit is large, irregular in shape, color light green overspread with yellow and red; flesh juicy, brittle, somewhat of coarse grain, but of good quality. In point of quality is far superior to the famous Keiffer. Ripe in August and September. If picked when hard and placed in a dry, dark, close place, it mellows nicely and becomes very delicious.

MULBERRIES.
There is, perhaps no fruit in the South more neglected than the Everbearing Mulberry. Every farmer should have a grove of Merritt, Hicks’ and Downing’s Everbearing. They produce fruit four months in the spring and summer, and are just the thing for hogs and poultry. The acid varieties are esteemed by many for table use. Some fruit-growers plant Mulberries to attract birds from other more valuable fruits.

POMEGRANATES.
bitdig Pomegranate thrives throughout the cotton belt. An old historical fruit, yet one of the South’s neglected resources. It has a far greater commercial value than is generally supposed. In all
large cities where there is a foreign population hailing from the Mediterranian countries there is a demand for the fruit at good prices. It grows in form of a large shrub or small tree, very grace- ful in form and foliage, produces a profusion of strikingly brilliant and lovely scarlet flowers, desirable as a yard tree, and especially well suited to use in solid or mixed borders. Bears young, is pro- lific, and.the fruit possesses a fresh crispness, delicacy and sprightli- ness of flavor much esteemed by all who know it. It should be more generally planted. Would be found profitable commercially in a small way. One leading Alabama fruit grower planted over a thousand trees in 1906.

_ The Camphor Tree (Laurus Camphoria). The tree from which the camphor gum of commerce is made is not only a beautiful orna- mental tree for which purpose it has been used almost exclusively in the South in the past, but has a commercial value that is destined to rival that of the turpentine industry. Experiments are now being conducted by the Department of Agriculture looking to the establishment of the camphor gum industry in the South on a com- mercial basis. Complete reports and bulletins have not been pub- lished, but enough information has been given oyt to those closely interested to warrant the recommending of fared plantings of the trees for commercial purposes.
One company who has one of the ex-government employees as its manager is clearing ordinary’ grade pine land and planting 3,000 acres with camphor trees.
» Camphor Gum is high, the only source of supply is Formosa, one of the Japanese possessions. Pure camphor gum is one of the principal ingredients of smokeless powder and as it is also used in the arts and trades making celluloid and: other similar goods, it has become a necessity. The first to have a grove of camphor will reap a rich reward. Start now with a few trees and add to it yearly, The industry will be on a commercial basis within a few years. . ,
GRAPES.
The vine comes into bearing quickly, yielding fruit usually the second year after planting, requiring but little space, and, when properly trained, is an ornament to the yard, garden or vineyard. It is stated by some of the most eminent physiologists that among the fruits conducive to regularity, health and vigor in the human system, the Grape ranks first. We hope soon to see the day when
. every family shall have an abundant supply of this most excellent
fruit at least six months in the year. The soil for Grapes should be dry; when not so naturally, it should be thoroughly drained. It should be deeply worked and well manured.

MUSCADINE TYPE OF GRAPES.
This free-growing species is the only one which is really a success so far South. It does fairly well in the tropics, and is by. far the best type of Grape for Florida and the Gulf coast, as it seldom fails to bear a heavy crop of de- licious fruit. It is the standby and a very welcome one; is free from all dis- eases and never decays. The product is very large and cultivation reduced to simplest form. Plant from 20 to 30 feet in a row; train on arbor or high
trellis and never trim.
Eden Berry very large, black, with delicate Thomas flavor; often 12 ® to 15 berries in a cluster. Its distinctive features are: early
bearing, fine quality, enormous productiveness, growing in clusters, freedom
from rot or disease, and adaptability to either table or wine purposes, coming
in season immediately after the “bunch” Grapes are over, fills a long-felt want
as a late table Grape.

ORANGE, POMELO (GRAPE FRUIT), LEMON, LIMES and KUMQUATS
All Citrus Fruits, except Satsuma Orange and Kumquats, budded on Citrus Trifoliata Roots. Are grown at our Southern Division Nurseries, in Dade and St. Lucie Counties. No White Fly, no Healed=in, Stored or Artificially Protected Trees. All Trees Freshly Dug at Time of
Shipment
Experience has proven that artificial protection to citrus trees, either in grove or in nursery, injures their vitality. Citrus nursery trees grown where there is sufficient danger from frost to necessitate the digging of the trees and placing in sheds, to be later protected by artificial heat, certainly do not carry with them to the planter as much vitality as trees dug fresh from the nursery rows. Artificial protection by high banking has been proven to be an injury, as the tops of highly banked trees are more susceptible to injury from frost than unbanked trees. The protection of nursery trees by open fires dries out the sap and reduces the vitality. These are facts that we have realized for a number of years and which, together with the spread of the dreaded White Fly, caused us to seek a loca- tion for growing our Citrus stock exempt from these two terrors to the grower of Citrus trees either in grove or nursery. .
Our Citrus nurseries are located sufficiently far south on the famous Florida East Coast to make us safe from frost injury to the tenderest growth. All trees are dug fresh from the nursery for each order.
The White Fly has never established itself in the counties in which our nurseries are located. The cost of producing good nursery stock is increasing along with the increased cost of production of other commodities, and there is no reason for cutting prices unless to unload undesirable trees either endangered by Frost, White Fly or other cause.
Our Prices are as cheap as good trees with full quota of vitality can be grown and delivered to your station. Investigate the man offering cheap trees or cutting prices lest they be cheap trees in reality and not low prices for good trees.

(Synonyms, Onshin, Kit Seedless.) (Man.) Variety of the Mandarin fam- Satsuma. ily imported by Gen. Van Valkenburg, a former resident of Japan, under the mame of Onshiu, and has been called by some Kii Seedless. At the suggestion of Mrs. Van Valkenburg it was named Satsuma, which name it is generally known by now. It is extensively cultivated in the northern portion of Japan, where there is danger of frost; similar to the con- ditions found in Central and Northern Florida and Gulf coast sections of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. It is the hardiest of all varieties of the Orange family and in a dormant condition will stand a temperature from 6 to 8 degrees lower than the standard Orange. ‘The fruit is me- dium size, flattened, inclined to be slightly conical in shape; color is reddish orange, but not red like King and Tangerine varieties; the rind and segments part freely; flesh fine grain, tender, juicy, sweet and delicious, with an exceptionally rich meaty flavor. Ripens in October and November, When budded on the Trifoljata it hardens its growth early and seldom shows signs of growth until late in the spring, thus reducing the danger of frost to a minimum.
We consider the Satsuma decidedly the most money-making Orange for the central and north. ern portions of Florida, the Gulf coast section of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, suc: ceeding exceptionally well in the Mississippi Delta. The fruit on the market always brings fancy prices, ripening early, as it does, and really being sweet, it is not disappointing like soa mauy so-called early Oranges.

Commercial Lemon culture has been givey little attention in Florida. - In no country does the Lemon thrive better than in Flor- ida. There is no reason why Florida and the West India Islands should not produce a large proportion of the Lemons imported annually.

QUICK RETURNS, SURE RETURNS
AN AGRE UF FIGS AND PECANS vastine returns, pic RETURNS
About 100 Fig trees can be planted between the Pecan rows on an acre of Pecan orchard planted 40 feet apart. The Fig trees should be set 13 1-3 feet apart in rows in the middle of the 40-feet space between the Pecan trees, _ running each way through the orchard.
WHAT RETURNS WILL 100 FIG TREES YIELD? LET’S FIGURE
In 30 months from planting, Fig trees that have been well cared for should yield a peck of Figs per tree, enough for a dozen 1-pound cans of canned figs, worth at wholesale from $1.50 to $1.75 per dozen in tin, and from $2.00 to $2.25 in glass. The cost of canning, even in a small way, would not exceed 50c. per dozen in tin, or 75c. to 85c. in glass—a net income of from $1.00 to $1.50 per tree, or $100.00 to $150.00 per acre, for the fresh fruit, all within 30 months from time of planting. The trees should double the yield for next two years, and thereafter produce from one bushel to two bushels per tree according to seasons. Wn basis of one bushel per tree the earning would be $400.00 to $600.00 per acre.
The fruit ripens over a long period, making the handling, where help is scarce and with a small canning outfit, practical. Any one of the several highly advertised home canning outfits is all that would be required.
For yield and income from an acre of Pecans see pages 6 and 7. Put the two together, and you will see that one acre of combined Fig and Pecan grove is worth more than a one-horse farm.

Ho is W 2 where the good wife spends ninety per cent. (90%) of her time; where the children are meas here We Live, reared, and where the men folks spend, or should spend, their nights and Sundays. Home
life, home surroundings, do more to mould the minds and tastes of the young than any other single item. This being true, home should be the most sacred spot on earth. No pains should be spared to make it comfortable, pleasant and attractive.
Parents Weep and Wonder Why their boys and girls leave home so young. In some cases nothing would prevent it, but in a majority of cases it is lack of love for the home, not for the parents,
but for the home. It may be comfortable, it may be as pleasant as love and kindness can make it. But is it attractive? Is there pleas- ant shade, a lawn and fresh, attractive trees, shrubs and vines, to absorb the sun’s rays and make it cool, pleasant and inviting? Are there flowering shrubs, vines and a rose garden to lend brightness and cheerfulness evenings and cloudy days, and to decorate the dining table, the sitting or living room? A home without these is not a home in reality. It may be a fine house with a fence around it, yet is merely a shelter to keep off the cold and rain and a protection against beasts and vermin. It is not a home that attracts either the stranger or the young.
The Best Investment a Home Owner Can Make is in a judiciously selected order for shade trees, shrubs and plants to embellish and beautify the home, no matter how humble and plain it may be. There is no other kind of improvement where a little money goes so far and adds so much real value in a few years.

THE SELECTION AND ARRANGEMENT
OF ORNAMENTAL TREES AND SHRUBS FOR THE HOME GROUND
In selecting and arranging ornamental trees and shrubbery, the character and style of growth of each tree and plant should
| be noted and considered. ‘Lhe larger and more rapid growing kinds should be planted sufficient distance apart and from buildings
to prevent crowding and growing into unshapely forms. Deciduous and Evergreen Shade Trees should be interspersed so that you
| will get benefit of the additional shade in summer and sun and light in winter, but with Evergreen Trees so placed that the yard
; or grounds will not look bare and skinny when leaves are off the deciduous kinds. Small trees and shrubs are best grouped in
e. open spaces between the larger growing kinds in corners and near buildings. Conifers and small growing evergreen trees, especially } those adapted to shaping into fancy heads, can be utilized to advantage either singly or in groups of two or three each.
Conform to nature as closely as conditions will allow, avoid straight rows and square setting unless for street planting, and occasionally, for hedges, borders and avenues. Graceful curves winding between the larger growing specimens is more pleasing and artistic than straight drives, walks and rows. ‘The latter gives a stiffness to the yard that lacks the beauty and gracefulness of the well-rounded curves. We want our grounds to bear the appearance of nature’sehandiwork, and that our part is to keep them | clean, neat and tidy.
IF IN DOUBT AS TO ARRANGEMENT AND KINDS OF TREES AND SHRUBS TO PLANT, WE ARE ALWAYS GLAD TO GIVE THE BENEFIT OF OUR EXPERIENCE AND TO ASSIST IN BOTH SELEC- TION AND ARRANGEMENT.
To customers desiring our assistance, sending us amount of money they wish to expend with their order, together with a rough diagram giving dimensions of yard or grounds and showing location of buildings and trees already planted, if any; also | gates,and entrances, walks and drives—if latter have been laid out, together with as full details as possible, and suggestions as to | some of the trees they would like, we will prepare landscape plans, showing position of all trees, plants and vines, and send with the order.
We have one of the largest stocks of hardy, acclim>xted Ornamental Trees and Plants in the South, which is being added to yearly as tests show the adaptability of new sorts. With our stock of trees and knowledgé from years of experience we can please you. Information relative to care, pruning, etc. furnished for the asking. All questions cheerfully answered to best of our ability.

Do not confuse our Bushes and Prices with those of Pot-grown Plants that are not in the same class.
Selection of Varie-
ty ties that wil prove most
ae satisfactory in your lo- oa
bee cality often puzzles the pur- chaser. If at all undecided, let us make the selection for you. We know the varieties and their range of adaptability, and in most cases will make a selection that will give better results than one made by the purchaser. State color desired and whether
bush or climbing sorts are wanted.
Classifications. T° enable our patrons to easily select the class of Roses they desire, we have divided
our list into three general lists which, for the South, could be thus classed: Everblooming, including the varieties that are almost constantly in bloom; Semi-annual Blooming, including the varieties which
bloom largely during the spring and autumn, and Climbing Roses, -
which include the varieties, the character of the growth of which adapts them for planting where they can be trained to run on verandas, summer houses, ete
Roses are further divided into several classes, strains or families, each having distinct characteristics of its own. To those who are desirous of knowing the class to which each variety belongs, the abbreviations given in the description, showing this, will be of interest. -
Although loved and admired by all, yet many people do not realize how easily this, the Queen of Flowers, may be grown, nor the delightful returns from a little outlay of money and labor. There is no secret about Rose grow- ing if strong field-grown bushes of varieties adapted to your locality are selected.

All the varieties we list have been tested in our trial gardens, -
and have proved to be of special merit. Only the choicest and most desirable varieties are described at length in this catalog, because to give more lengthy descriptions of others would not improve it. The best are none too good for our friends’ and customers’ Rose beds and gardens.

We have tested it in our grounds and find it to be of special merit, and have named it as above, considering it worthy of ‘the name of a sister of ‘the Grifling Brothers. It is the best growing Tea Rose we have ever seen, making a very large, strong bush in one season, and in two or three years will make a spread of from 4 to 6 feet. Flowers are extra large and full, buds long and pointed; color fine chamois red, richly shaded with velvety crimson; very sweet and a constant bloomer. We recom-
mend it as extra fine. (T.) Very bright rose or red; large; semi-

A NEW PEAR. What Shall We Name It? The most
promis- ing acquisition in fruits introduced in many years. Perfect in outline, regular and uniform in shape and size; dark golden russet, slightly tinged with
red; slight core; regular and prolific bearer,
The variety originated in South Georgia. Buds from original tree were sent to us with sample of fruit for testing about, eight years ago. A few trees were grown from the buds and planted in our test orchards. In 1905 there were a few specimens, and in 1906 a fair crop for young trees. This summer, 1907, all the trees bore a heavy crop notwithstanding the general shortage in the fruit crop, especially in Pears. The trees were planted near Le Conte, Keiffer and other varieties of Pears, nearly all of which have succumbed from blight. Not a blighted limb or twig is to be found on any of these trees.
Fruit large size, measuring 444 to 4% inches in length and 2% to 234 across; shape oblong, tapering gracefully from middle with full, plump, rounded ends; skin tough and firm; color dark golden russet with a slight tinge of red. Very attractive and showy. Flesh clear white, crisp, tender and good. Mellows eavenly, and is especially desirable for slicing and eating with cream and sugar, same as peaches. Cooks quickly, holding together well. Slight core; few seed.
The most desirable ail-around Pear we have ever seen frown in the South.
The best point of all--It bears when others fail.
$50.00 and a Dozen Trees for a Name.
WE ARE GOING TO LET OUR CUSTOMERS NAME IT. Each customer ordering $5.00 worth of trees or plants from this Catalog, and who will send us 10 or more names and addresses of friends or neighbors, who will likely want to buy trees or plants, will be entitled to suggest a name for this new Pear. To the one suggesting the name selected we will pay $25.00 in cash and allow him or her to select $25.00 worth of trees or plants from our 1909 Catalog, which we will send together with one dozen Pear trees of the new variety free of all charges. Name must be one word with not to exceed 10 letters. Foreign names, if easily spelled and pronounced, are admissible.
Contest open until July 1, 1908.
