Remittances may be made by bank draft, Postal or Express Money Order or cer¬ tified check. Substitution — The varieties you select are always sent unless you grant permission to substitute. If you wish a particular color, rather than a particular variety, many times it is to your advantage to mention the fact, as we may oftentimes improve upon your selection. There¬ fore, if a substitute is acceptable, be sure to advise us, as otherwise everything is shipped absolutely as ordered. Order Early — Orders are filled in rotation. Ordering early will insure the reservation of varieties that later may be sold out, and save you any disappointment. Time of Shipment — Unless you give a specific shipping date, your order will be shipped to arrive at the proper time to plant in your locality. If you wish your order shipped at any special time please advise us. Packing — All plants are carefully packed to prevent drying or freezing while in transit. All packing charges are included in catalog list price except for specimen stock of unusual size, which will be at cost. How We Ship — We prefer shipping by express, cus¬ tomer to pay the charges. If you prefer sending by parcel post, add 10 per cent to your order. This applies to evergreens and shrubs. Accuracy of Description — All descriptions and other matter in this catalog will be found to be as nearly in accordance with actual facts as it is possible to write them, great care having been taken to avoid exaggera¬ tion in descriptions of varieties. In Ordering, please give plainly the name, postoffice address and state. Always tell us how you want goods to come, and name your express or freight station. Make out orders on separate sheet from your letter. Guarantee — We guarantee all nursery stock furnished by us to be first-class and true to name. We exercise the greatest of care to have all our trees and plants true to name, well grown, packed in the very best possible manner and hold ourselves in readiness on proper proof to replace all trees and plants that may acci¬ dentally prove untrue to label, free of charge or refund the amount paid. We do not guarantee stock to grow, or results in any way. No complaints will be entertained that are not made immediately on receipt of stock.

They can be set in groups, with shrubbery or along the founda¬ tion of the house or used singly as specimens. In the winter time, when most other plants are dormant, the •absence of other colors helps to bring out their beauty of form in a very striking manner. We ship all coniferous evergreens with a ball of earth surrounding the roots, securely burlapped. This assures you of receiving plants with practically the entire root system intact and when planted in your ground they should live and continue their growth. Do not remove the burlap from the roots — just loosen the string at the top. Evergreens once planted and established shift for themselves and require but little pruning in the spring.

Page Nine HOGANSVILLE NURSERIES Broad-Leaved Evergreen Shrub Southern Qrown for Southern Homes THE complete development of a home calls for the correct treatment of the out-of-door units as well as for the furnishing of the rooms inside. There is no group of plants that will add more beauty to the out of-door unit than the Broad-leaved Evergreen group. Many of the varieties lend beauty both with bloom and their lovely green-colored foliage, espe¬ cially in the winter time when so many of the Deciduous Flowering shrubs are bare. Our collection is very large and all of our plants have been trans¬ planted frequently which insures you of receiving plants with a thick growth of small feeding roots. The Broad-leaved Evergreens will thrive in almost any well-drained soil, and a few of them will grow in shady places. They require but little pruning ex¬ cept where used as strictly formal plants or hedges. All of our Broad-leaved Evergreens are shipped to you with a ball of earth and an abundance of roots, carefully burlapped. The prices quoted are for small quantities; if large lots of a hundred or more are required, we can make you an attractive discount. ABELIA GLOSSY ABELIA (Abelia gratidiflora) — One of the most attractive of the newer plants due to the fact that it combines a blooming shrub and evergreen foliage.

The leaves are a glossy green which turns to a purplish bronze in the winter. The Abelia is useful for foundation, border or as a specimen. Grows in dense shade but does best in a sunny sheltered position. During the growing season it is advisable to pinch off the ends of the long shoots. This will make the plant dense and compact.

Dig a hole large enough to allow the roots to spread out naturally. Plant the shrub a trifle deeper than it stood in the nursery, covering the roots a little at a time and firmly packing the soil about the roots with the feet. After planting, keep the ground free from weeds and grass by culti¬ vating. This is important. PRUNING — Do not fail to properly prune your shrubs as soon as planted. The success of your plants depends upon proper pruning. All deciduous shrubs should be pruned an¬ nually. The tops and branches should be cut back one-third or one-half if necessary; all dead branches and weak growth should be re¬ moved, and care must be exercised not to cut off the blooming wood. All shrubs that flower on the previous year’s growth should not be pruned until June or July, after the blooming period has passed. To this class belong the Althaes, Cydonias, Deutzias, Forsythias, Phila- delphus, Spirea, etc. Do not fail to fertilize your shrubs at least once a year.

Trees are a protection from the rigors of winter, and by transpiration they materially freshen the atmosphere during the summer. A tree should be chosen for its form, color, texture and general habit of growth — in other words, for its contribution to the picture. The ultimate effect to be produced must be visualized and a decision made as to where a round, pointed or triangular outline is wanted ; where a light feathery texture or a dense mass is desirable, and where the colors must blend or con¬ trast to strike an emphatic note. Trees selected for street and avenue planting should be symmetrical in character; long lived and should not be readily susceptible to injury from insects and smoke. For narrow streets the American elm is one of the best trees on account of its high¬ headed characteristic growth. Its tall vase-like form enables it to reach, above houses that may not be set far back. The low, compact-headed types, such as the sugar maple, pin oak and red oak ought to be planted only on wide streets. There are two kinds of specimen plants; those which are used as single specimens, with full space al¬ lowed for their normal development, like the Japanese maples, dogwood, birch, magnolia, silktree, and those which are used as ascent trees, as the Lombardy, Pyramidal Tuliptree on account of their columnar or pyramidal habit of growth. All of our trees are hardy, field grown stock and when digging them great care is taken to keep the root system intact. With reasonable care they will thrive and become a real part of your home.

Although some of the hand¬ somest species, such as the white oak and the live oak, are slow growers, others, like the red oak, are rapid growing. In the drier parts of the country, oaks are of slower growth than in the more humid sections and never attain the size of the same species under more favorable conditions, but they are worthy of planting because ultimately they make fine trees. They are hardy, most of them are long lived, and for the most part there are comparatively few dis¬ eases and insects that seriously attack them. LIVE OAK (Q. virginiana) — Probably the noblest and most majestic of the oaks of the Southern States. Being an evergreen of slow growth, it is sufficiently open headed to make a good roadside tree, generally 40 to 50 feet in height and sometimes reaching a spread of 100 feet. Each Each 3 to 4 feet _ $1.00 5 to 6 feet _ $1.50 4 to 5 feet - 1.25 6 to 8 feet _ 2.00 PIN OAK (Q. palustris) — Sometimes called the “swamp oak,” is a tall tree, conical when young, oval at maturity, with a drooping habit of the lower branches.

Each Each 4 to 6 feet _ $ .75 8 to 10 feet _ $1.50 6 to 8 feet _ 1.00 10 to 12 feet _ 2.00 WATER OAK (Q. nigra) — Frequently confused with the willow oak and the laurel oak. Widely planted in the South along streets and in parks as a shade tree. Has roundish head and slender willow-like leaves of a dull bluish green color. When fully grown reaches a height of about 80 feet. Each Each 5 to 6 feet _ $1.00 8 to 10 feet _ $2.00 6 to 8 feet _ 1.50 10 to 12 feet - - 3.00 12 to 14 feet - $4.00 This Catalog Is An Authentic Guide Water Oak Page Thirty-one HOGANSVILLE NURSERIES Weeping Willow WHITE OAK (Q. alba)— One of the finest, if not the finest of American trees, with broadly spreading branches that make a round top of more than 80 feet; medium-sized dark green leaves having a lighter undersurface and almost white flaky bark. It is one of the slow-growing trees, but is worthy of extended planting. Thrives on both uplands and bottom lands where it is not too wet; reaches a height of 80 feet. Each Each 5 to 6 feet _ $1.00 8 to 10 feet _ $2.00 6 to 8 feet _ 1.50 10 to 12 feet _ 3.00 WILLOW OAK (Q. phellos) — Sometimes erroneously called water oak. One of the best of the quick¬ growing trees for use in the South. Frequently used with the water oak for street planting. Has slender willow-like leaves, light green and shiny above but dull and smooth beneath. It is nearly half evergreen in the extreme South, but its foliage does not assume the bright colors of the trees of the red-oak class. Each Each 5 to 6 feet _ $1.50 8 to 10 feet _ $2.50 6 to 8 feet _ 2.00 10 to 12 feet _ 3.00 12 to 14 feet _ $4.00 WILLOW (Salix) WEEPING WILLOW (S. babylonica) — Too well known to need a lengthy description.

It is tall and spreading and when planted as near together as is customary on country roads, the effect of the mature trees is that of an arch formed by the growing together of their spreading tops. Is of rapid growth and long lived. Each Each 6 to 8 feet _ $ .75 8 to 10 feet - $1.25 10 to 12 feet _ $1.75 Texas Umbrella Tree A Few Suggestions Plants should be removed from the box or package as soon as possible after arriving. Sometimes it is not always possible to plant them at once, in which case see that the roots are wet and then place them in a cool, shady place; keeping the roots moist. Plants that are “balled and burlapped” should be set deep enough to entirely cover the wrapping. Do not remove the wrapping material, but plant the entire ball as received. If the plants are from pots, set them considerably deeper than they were in the pot. Do not try to straighten out the root system of potted plants. It is best to shade the trunks of large trees with straw or loosely wound burlap until growth is well advanced. All plants are better for shade the first few days, especially during the heat of the day. One of the most important things to do after setting a plant or tree is to thoroughly soak the ground down to the subsoil and leave the surface dished so that the rainfall or future watering will be held. The mulching should be spread over this area and even beyond it, to conserve moisture and keep the ground as cool as possible. Do not allow the mulch¬ ing to touch the plant. Watering must be kept up from a few days apart to weekly intervals until the plants are well established or even longer if the weather is unduly dry. A setting of beautiful flowering shrubs around the home makes a home out of a house. Pagre Thirty-two VINES Climbing Vines Climbing and Trailing Varieties No group of plants is quite so adaptable and capable of a wide range of use as the vines and creepers because of their permanence, ease of culture, and freedom from insects and diseases. Vines are grown on masonry walls for the beauty of their foliage, and also to soften and add color and shadows to an otherwise blank expanse. They are grown on garden walks as a background for flowering plants, where the delicate tracery of the leaves against the wall, together with interesting flowers on some and fruit on others, contributes a gardenesque quality which is delightful. One of the foremost uses of vines is to provide shade under arbors, pergolas and porches. For this purpose, lateral growing vines with decorative qualities are recommended. The wisteria and grapes are excellent. Vines like the honeysuckle may be grown on wire fences or supports to form an impenetrable barrier where the space is too limited for a screen of trees or a hedge. In placing a trellis or other support against wooden structures it is usually better to secure them with a hinge at the bottom to 4 x 4-inch posts set firmly in the ground and fasten at their tops with hooks. Then the whole mass of trellis and vine can be un¬ hooked and folded outward onto the ground when it is necessary to paint or remove the vine for any purpose. In planting vines see that they receive sufficient moisture until they become well established. Most vines thrive in places that would be too damp and shady for shrubs and they also make excellent ground covers to hide barren spots and washouts. AMPELOPSIS JAPANESE CREEPER ( Ampelopsis tricuspidata) — Also known as Boston Ivy; one of the finest hardy climbers we have for covering walls; clings firmly to the smoothest surface.

Spirea- Anthony Waterer 3 «b z o 'lTCALE: i-If R3MOFP PLANTING PRIVET HEDGES Prepare the ground by plowing or spading to the proper width and depth. Open the trench 12 inches wide by 15 deep. Apply to this a liberal amount of well-rotted stable manure, and if this is not avail¬ able, bone meal or some high-grade fertilizer. Mix the manure of fertilizer thoroughly with soil. Set the plants in a straight line in the trench one foot apart, about one inch deeper than they originally stood in the nursery row. Firm the earth well about the roots, level off, and then cut the plants back to within four inches of the ground. In the spring, after the plants have made a growth of six or eight inches, cut off one-half this growth, both sides and top, and proceed in a like manner with each suc¬ ceeding growth until your hedge has reached the desired height and width. Cultivate well. Prune hedges often; especially in early summer when the growth is prolific. The secret of a beau¬ tiful hedge is regularity in form and outline and density of foliage. By pruning carefully and to a line, one can secure the desired regularity. By pruning often, the growth is continually forced along the sides of the branches left untrimmed; voids will fill up and a smooth dense mass of foliage will result. Hedges must be trimmed on sides as well as on the top. Otherwise the hedge will get broader at the top than below. The lower branches will be shaded and the hedge will be unattrac¬ tive. The ideal hedge is slightly A-shaped, being broader at the base. This permits the sun¬ light to reach all sides of the hedge. jtlMHUl lH PLANTING EVERGREENS NEARLY all plants taken from the open ground are lifted with a ball of earth around the roots. This is wrapped in moss, excelsior, or burlap. Plants with burlap around the ball may be planted with the burlap left on. Before filling the hole, cut the string to loosen the burlap and release it from the ball. It need not be removed from under the plant. When moss or excelsior wrapping is about the earth ball, this wrapping must be carefully re¬ moved. In no case should the earth about the roots be disturbed. If the ball of earth falls away from the roots the plant must be defoliated and cut back. It is advisable to prune severely and defoliate such plants as Camphor, Elaeagnus, Ilex, Laurocerasus, Ligustrums, Neriums, Photinia and Quercus. Preparing the soil properly will give the best results. Dig holes of ample size. Place a layer of rich top soil mixed with compost in the bottom of the hole, set plant at proper depth and fill hole half full with earth. At this point pour in water freely, but do not wash soil from roots. Allow water to settle, put in more soil and firm it about the roots, then fill up the hole. Place a mulch of well rotted leaves in a depth of from four to six inches about the plants for protection in winter and summer.

Page Thirty-six HOGANSVILLE NURSERIES Wilkinson’s Special Lawn Seed Makes Southern Evergreen , Wilkinson’s Special FOR a number of years we have tested many grasses to determine which one would stand best in the South. We have finally suc¬ ceeded in obtaining one, our Wilkinson’s Mixture, which has given most satisfactory results, and we have not yet seen a better lawn grass for this section than our mixture produces. It is composed only of such grasses as have exhibited the greatest heat and drought-resisting qualities. These grasses are most carefully blended, resulting in a mixture that stands our hot weather better than any evergreen lawn grass that we have been able to obtain. Of course, during periods of intense heat and drought, the Wilkinson’s Mixture, as well as all other evergreen lawn mixtures, will burn out more or less. During the hot, dry periods use a lawn sprinkler or hose and nozzle after sunset. Lawns are frequently injured by using the hose and putting on the water with too great force, especially when the sun is shining. All of our seed has been re-cleaned, is strictly free from weeds and of high germination. During prolonged droughts it pays to water daily instead of only periodically. Grass, when artificially watered, requires that this be repeated regularly. HOW TO MAKE A LAWN — The ground must be first thoroughly prepared by being plowed as deep as possible, and then subsoiled: harrowed, and all stones removed. If the area cannot be plowed, then spade it up carefully and thoroughly. Apply a liberal amount of thoroughly rotted stable manure, turn this under and harrow. If this is not available then use sterilized sheep-manure at the rate of 1,000 pounds to the acre, or 500 to 800 pounds of bone- meal; rake in well and level off the ground. When the surface has been raked perfectly smooth, the seed should be sown broadcast at the rate of 60 to 75 pounds to the acre (a space 210x210 feet.) Rake lightly, thoroughly covering the seed, then roll. If the space is too small for rolling, or if you do not possess or cannot procure a roller, firm the soil with a plank. When the weather is very hot and dry do not mow the lawn as frequently or as closely as when weather conditions are more favorable. A light re¬ seeding on established lawns each autumn will take care of the bare spots and will insure a good, sub¬ stantial turf. By following these directions, no trouble should be experienced in obtaining and keep¬ ing a perfect lawn. NOTE — The best period for making a lawn is from September to December. The earlier in the fall the better. Never attempt to make a lawn during very dry or very windy weather.
