A Word to Our Customers

It has always been our ambition and purpose to maintain a reputation for grow- ing and marketing the highest class of nursery stock that experience and conscien- tious care can produce. It is our aim to keep our field work, our packing and our shipping so well organized that mistakes may be reduced to a minimum.

OUR LOCATION — Austell is located in Cobb County, on the Southern Railroad, and close to Atlanta. Shipping facilities are the best to be had and there will be no delay in getting stock to any part of the country.

BUYING FROM CATALOG is growing in popularity year by year, and we earnestly desire to encourage our patrons to place their orders under this plan. Each order sent us by mail will receive personal care, will be packed securely in bale or box. On orders coming to us from far away states a liberal express or freight allow- ance will be made to apply on transportation charges. We guarantee safe arrival of every tree or plant, no matter where shipped.

PRICES NET CASH — Our prices are net cash. What others offer in discounts we guarantee in class of stock and superiority of service. We know of a fact that the net prices named in this catalog are as cheap as first-class stock can be bought in the United States, and we know further that agents’ commissions are figured out of these prices rather than in them. We have eliminated the cost of the “‘middle man” in pre- paring these prices, a thing not heretofore done in the nursery trade.

GUARANTEE OF GENUINENESS — We use constant care in keeping trees true to name. Mistakes are avoided in every possible way, but when they do occur and we are notified of such mistakes, we gladly correct them, and if any stock proves not true to name we will replace it with the genuine or refund purchase price paid for same, but it is mutually agreed between purchaser and ourselves that we are not to be held liable for a greater amount than the original price paid for goods.

Fruit Department

Apples

The Apple is the first in importance of all fruits. It will thrive on nearly any well-drained soil. Its period of ripening, unlike other fruits, extends nearly through the whole year. By making careful selection, a constant succession can be obtained. For family use there is no fruit that is more indispensable. No fruit is so healthful, and many physicians say that if a person would eat an apple a day they could dispense with doctor bills. Besides this, and just as important, is the fact that the average price on the market is steadily increasing and the immense demand for home con- sumption, foreign shipping, canning and evaporating assures high prices. The apple, if given the same care and attention as other farm crops, will yield greater returns per acre. The following list we consider to be the best for general planting.

Peaches

In order to preserve the continued healthy growth of the trees and the fine quality of the fruit, the trees should have the shoots and branches shortened every few years, so as to preserve a round, vigorous head with plenty of young wood, and the land should not be seeded to grass, but kept in constant cultivation.

The following have been selected after an examination of many different sorts in bearing, the best only being chosen.

Grapes

No matter how small the home, one can usually find space for from four to six Grape Vines, which will bear an abundance of luscious fruit which cannot be sur- passed. They can be trained over the garden fence, over the veranda, not only fur- nishing fruit, but making a vine that is beautiful and at the same time furnishing shade. Probably the best way to grow Grapes, however, is in rows, planting the vines from six to eight feet apart each way and training on trellis. Work the ground deep and well for Grape Vines, planting a little deeper than they stood in the nurs- ery rows. Keep pruned severely for the first two or three years, allowing the vine to form four or five main stems, when later growth will suggest individual pruning. We again say plant the Grape, for both home and market, for no fruit will come nearer pleasing all tastes and adapting itself to all soils.

All our Pecan trees are grown from graft- ing and budding from bearing groves and are extra heavy rooted and dug carefully and packed so as to not injure in transit.

Alley — Medium size, shell thin, kernel is damp; flavor good; medium to heavy bearer, somewhat subject to scab under certain con- ditions.

Frotscher’s Egg Shell — Large, very thin shell, kernel oily, plump, often dark col- ored, quality fair, popular in Georgia and Louisiana.

American Sweet Chestnut — The American Sweet Chesnut is much superior to both the European and Japanese kinds, although it does not, as yet, approach the size of either of them. Chesnuts are much easier to propagate than any other nut trees, and come into bearing earlier. It does not do well in limestone, or in wet boggy land. Nut is sweet and well flavored. Valuable shade tree for street or lawn.

6 to 8 feet extra heavy, $1.00 each.

4 to 6 feet extra heavy, .75 each.

Chestnuts

! ^ Sober Paragon Chestnut — Undoubtedly the best chestnut grown, but scarce. Large plantations of it are being established as a source of profit. It bears perfect nuts when but three years old, and nuts are as large as a silver half dollar. It is also hardy and vigorous and fruit is sweet and of the best quality.

3 to 4 feet, .40 each.

. 2 to 3 feet, .25 each.

2 to 3 feet .30 each.

/\V2 to 2 feet .20 each.

1/ Cordiformis — This, as the name indicates, is heart shaped. Differs from the Sieboldl in form of the nuts, which are broad, pointed, flattened, somewhat resembling the shelbark hickory; meat large, of best qual- ity, and easily removed as shell is thin and parts easily at the sutures, enabling one to get the kernel out whole. Flavor somewhat between that of the English walnut and Beech nut.

3 to 4 feet $0.50 each.

2 to 3 feet .40 each.

\/ Sieboldl — If it produced no nuts, would be well worth cultivation for an ornamental tree. Nuts are borne in clusters of 12 or 15 at tips of previous season’s branches. Have a smooth shell; thicker than the English, but not so thick as the Black Walnuts much resembling pecans. Meat is sweet, of good quality, flavor like a butternut, but less oiiy, commences bear- ing young, trees 3 to 4 years from nut in nursery rows frequently producing nuts.

iy2 to 2 feet 25c each.

Ornamental Department

A great many people are beginning to realize that by expending a little time and study they can have well-kept and attractive grounds, adding to the beauty and com- fort of the home and increasing the value of the property. If the grounds surrounding the house are extensive, beautiful effects can be produced by planting shade trees, shrubs, vines and flowers according to some pre-arranged plan. If the grounds are small, a few shrubs, such as the Altheas, Hydrangeas, Spireas and other sorts can be used to good advantage. Vines trained over porches, trellises, fences, etc., can be made very effective at a small cost and give great comfort and satisfaction not only to yourself, but your neighbors. Real estate owners who have vacant property to sell are beginning to plant fine trees and shrubs, knowing that they can secure a larger percentage on their investment when the ground is sold, as purchasers will pay more for a fine looking lot than one given over to unsightly surroundings. We would also emphasize the fact that you should buy none but the best. Few people realize the importance of getting started right. A little thought will convince you that it is not the quantity, but the quality that counts. Buy none but the best stock, properly grown by reliable nurserymen, who have given their best thought to the careful prop- agation and best varieties. We have a large stock of all kinds of shade trees, orna- mental shrubs, etc-, that has been selected with the greatest care and attention, both as to variety and quality.
