We are perfectly willing to give them the benefit of our long experience and shall do so unless otherwise directed.
ERRORS. We exercise the utmost care in filling orders, but during the rush of the busy season an error is occasionally made, and satisfactory correction will be promptly made upon notification.

HINTS ON PLANTING
The Orchard. As near the residence as possible, and when convenient, let the land slope to the North.
Preparation of the Soil. The most desirable soil for fruit trees is a rich loam, naturally dry or made so by drainage. Peaches and plums must be planted on high, well-drained soil. Before planting, prepare the land by thoroughly plowing. Lay off the rows at required distances, and dig holes at least two feet wide and two f e »r deep; fill the holes by breaking in the sides, commencing at the bottom and going upward. Use surface soil in filling up, and with this mix one or two shovelfuls of thoroughly decomposed barnyard manure', or use one or two pounds of good bonemeal. All fertilizers must be thoroughly incorporated with the soil. Avoid the contact of the roots with heating manures.
Selection of Trees. For this climate, experience has taught us that one- and two year-old trees of thrifty growth are the most desirable. Success in transplanting is increased according as attention is paid in selecting well-rooted trees, instead of heavily branched ones. Give as many sound roots and as little head to a tree as possible.
Preparation of Trees. Before planting, remove the broken roots, making a clean cut from the under side with a sharp knife. Two-year-old trees should have their branches cut back to half their length, or less; the lower limbs less than those above, cutting in shorter as you go upward, leaving the leader the longest. The tree should be set about 2 inches deeper than it stood in the nursery.
Time for 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 trans planted in November or December will, bv the ensuing spring, have formed sufficient new roots to give it a firm hold in the ground, and will grow off rapidly when active vegetation commences, although hardy stock can be safely transplanted any time during the winter when the ground is not too wet or frozen.
Cultivation. To get good results from your trees, keep them well cultivated. Stir the soil frequently during the summer. Remove all suckers and branches which start below the head of the tree. For the first two years cultivate the orchard in some hoed crop, suited to the location, such as cotton, vegetables, melons, peas or any sim- ilar crop. Cultivate frequently. Never plant corn or small grain in your orchard. If the soil is devoid of lime and potash, supply the deficiency with bonemeal, hard- wood ashes, or a good commercial fertilizer. You cannot get a healthy growth on your trees unless the orchard is supplied with the proper plant food.
Insects and Diseases hurtful to. trees and plants can be controlled, to a degree, by following advice given in bulletins issued free at our agricultural colleges.
Distances Apart required by trees vary with the strength of soil, also with the variety. Trees, vines or plants on rich, deep soil require more space than on a light, thin soil. Large, strong growers require more space than small, weak or dwarf growers. The following distances are recommended on average land:
Apple, 25 feet; 69 trees per acre.
Peach and Pear, 20 feet; 108 trees per acre.
Plum and Apricot, 15 feet; 193 trees per acre.
Grape and Fig, 10 feet; 435 trees per acre.
Blackberries, 4x8 feet; 1,345 vines per acre.

JUNE BUDDED PEACH TREES — Commercial Sorts Only
We do not recommend these to the aveiage planter. They are “baby” trees, and unless one knows just how to raise them, bring them up, which takes time and a knowledge of what and when to do, we would advise that he buy and plant the “grown up” trees.
Price— 2 to 3 feet, $10.00 per 100, $75.00 per 1000.
Alexander, Victor, St. John, Arp’s Beauty, Greensboro, Mamie Ross, Slappey, Hiley, Belle of Georgia. Crawford’s Late, Elberta, Thurber, Mt. Rose, Stinson’s Oc- tober.
We only grow the above list of varieties in June buds, be in multiples of 20, and for not less than 100 trees.

Lockhart. Originated in East Texas, and to our mind is the apple for the South. Beautiful yellow, of medium size, the skin is smooth and waxy, the flesh crisp and juicy and ripens about August 1st. The Lockhart is the most attractive high quality yellow apple that has yet been introduced and is strictly Southern. It shows every indication of being a success wherever it is planted. The trees now bearing are nine years old, coming into bearing at three years, and have borne six regular crops without a failure. No Southern orchard can be com- plete without this new apple, and we unhesitatingly recommend it to our customers.
PLUMS
The plum is easily grown, and, by planting tardy, prolific varieties this delicious and valuable fruit can be grown successfully every season on anv location where other trees will grow. This fruit succeeds best on well drained soil. Many native and foreign varieties thrive and bear well arm are very valuable. The following l of choice varieties shows about the order of their time of ripening:

This list of select varieties has been reduced to such as have been thoroughly tested and have proven valuable throughout the largest section of the South.

CHAMNESS PEAR. $1.00 each.
in offering the new -Ch am ness Pear to our customers for the first time we un hesitatingly say that it is the best pear on the market and will, we earnestly believe, revolutionize pear growing in the South.
A chance seedling and evidently a cross between the Kieffer and the Bartlett, it has all the good points of these two sterling varieties combined. Tn growth, habit and hardiness of the tree it very much resembles the Kieffer, just as thrifty and strong, though slightly different in both leaf and wood. Bears young and regularly each year.
The fruit is of medium size, beautiful golden yellow, smooth, well shaped an 1 ripens thoroughly to the core; flesh melting and juicy, tender and sweet, better than the best pear you ever tasted. Ripens last of August.
The parent tree is about ten years old and has so far shown no signs of blight. We are exclusive owners of this magnificent new pear/
Specimens were sent to Mr. G. B. Brackett, Pomoiogist, Horticultural Depart- men1;, Washington, D. C., who says: “I find this new pear superior to Kieffer in
every respect. ’ ’
QUINCE
These succeed best m strong clay soils, in special localities. They can be grown in bush form.
Price — 3 to 4 feet, 40c each, $4.00 per dozen.
Orange. Large, round, excellent late variety, bears abundantly.
Champion. Fruit large, flavor delicate, tree hardy and bears young; best.
Meeches’ Prolific. Medium, bears young, ripens early, flavor good.
CHERRY
The sweet cherry does not do very well in the far South, as it requires a cooler climate, though a few acrid sorts do moderately well in some sections. We have selected the best sorts for the South.
4 to 5 feet, 50c each, $5.00 per dozen, $35.00 per 100.
3 to 4 feet, 40c each, $4.00 per dozen, $25.00 per 100.
Early Richmond. Medium, round, bright red; very juicy, slightly acid.

May Duke. Dark red, tender, rich, subacid.
Baldwin. Large, round; red; subacid; strong tree; valuable.
Terry. Medium size; dark red; rich acid.
FIGS
No fruit is more valuable m the Southern fruit garden than figs. They can be closely planted — 10 to 12 feet apart — and yield heavily. The fig-canning industry is gradually extending throughout the South, and since several tons of fruit can be produced on an acre of ground, dt is well adapted to intensive culture. The pre- served product put up at the present time m no wise supplies the demand, and we look lor a very material increase in the fig-canning industry.
Price of trees, 35c each, $3.50 per dozen, $25.00 per 100.
Brown Turkey. Medium, brown, sweet, excellent; very prolific; hardy.
Celestial. Small pale violet; sugary, sweet, and rich; hardiest of all figs.
Brunswick. Very large, violet, good and productive.
Magnolia. Large yellow, flavor good; bears young; tender, quality the best.
Green Ischia. Fruit of medium size, long; pulp rosy red, sof$, melting, quality rich, sweet; a variety of very high quality. A strong grower and should be in every fig collection.

it must be well drained at all times. Fertilizers containing a good proportion of potash are tlie most desirable; too much humus or nitrogen will induce a rank growth of wood at the expense ot fruit.

No other fruit gives such quick returns on the investment as strawberries. Com mercially they are one of the most profitable <crops. It is just as easy to grow .you1' strawberries for home use as your vegetables, and have a plentiful supply, ripe aril perfectly fresh. We have discontinued handling these except where they art' paid for m advance and shipment made direct to the customer by express or mail late in October or early November. They should be planted then to produce a crop the following year.

PECANS
It has been demonstrated that pecans succeed over the entire cotton belt, on both hill and bottom land, and are the most valuable of all nuts grown. It has been practically demonstrated that pecan growing is a paying investment, but only grafted or budded trees which are well known and meritorious varieties should be planted, and these varieties should have the following qualifications: Large size, good flavor,
thin shell, easy cracking quality and freedom from disease. Furthermore, the pur- chaser should know that the trees are propagated from grafts or buds taken from reliable sources. Many inferior and bogus trees have been palmed off on the pur chaser by unreliable dealers.

APRICOTS
Apricots are best adapted for planting in city gardens, or where trees are pro tected by surrounding buildings. They are among the most delicious of fruits, and, therefore, a little extra care should be given in protecting the flowers from the late spring frosts.
Price — 4 to 5 feet, 35c each, $3.50 per dozen, $22.50 per 100.

Price, 40c each, $4.00 per dozen.
I. X. L. A desirable California variety; sturdy, upright grower; nut large, soft shell; heavy bearer.
Nonpareil (also called Extra.) Tree of pendulous growth; a heavy and regular bearer; shell thin; considered one of the best.
JAPAN PERSIMMONS
The Japanese Persimmon is thoroughly adapted to the cotton belt, and it does especially well in the coast region. It is a vigorous grower and an early and most prolific bearer; in fact bears too profusely, and therefore, the fruit should be prop- erly thinned. This fruit is coming to the front for market purposes, and, where known, commands good prices, as it usually comes on the market in the fall and early winter.
Price — 4 to 5 feet, 50c each, $5.00 per dozen, $35.00 per 100.
Hiyakume. This is the most desirable of all the round red-fleshed varieties. Tane-Nashi. Very large; roundish, conical pointed; skin yellow, seedless.
Zeng'i. Small, but the most valuable and reliable of them all.
SHADE TREES
Nowhere in the country is shade so acceptable or necessary as in the South. Whether in park or city, street or country road or lawn, shade trees are valued not as luxuries, but as necessities for health and comfort. Nothing adds more to the home grounds, nothing so improves the appearance of town or city, as well-placed, healthy, vigorous Shade Trees.
