UR Catalogue having of late been copied by persons who in this manner depended upcn our reputation and the superiority of our products as a basis for their own business, we desire it to be distinctly understood that we have no connection whatever with any other house, or employ traveling agents, and that our Sa Sis SStsis tS Ory 4 for any business transactions extends only to persons PURCHASING DIRECT FROM THE NURSERY. Dealers purchasing from us sell upon their own responsibility. We likewise disclaim any liability for results arising from defective planting or at improper seasens, or from subse- quent faulty treatment and cultivation, and are not in any respect responsible for any loss. or damage arising from any failure thereof. While we exercise the greatest care to have all our trees and plants true to name, well grown, and packed in the best possible manner, and hold ourselves in readiness, on proper proof, to replace all trees or-plants that may accidentally prove untrue to label, free of change, or refund the amount paid therefor, it is mutually understood and agreed to between the purchaser and ourselves that our guarantee of genuineness shall in no case make us liable for any sum greater than that originally received for said trees or plants that prove untrue. ; eke . Our reputation for upright dealing, and the uniform high standard of quality of our products, the results of a thirty years business career, is our only guarantee to our customers. Fae Pog Ee and Plants since the last edition of our DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF FRUITS was issued. Upwards of two hundred acres are now used for Nursery purposes; the stock of Trees and Plants, in point of quality and variety, is equal to that of any similar establishment in the United States; but, although we do not presume to offer better products than can be grown elsewhere, we, however, claim for our trees perfect adaptability to the Southern cli- mate and, wants of Southern Fruit Growers, together with healthy growth, large size and low prices. We refer with pleasure to a business career of upwards of twenty-nine years in conducting the “FRUITLAND NURSERIES,” during which the rapidly increasing sales of the establishment are evidences that the quality of the products has been of uniform quality and highest standard of classification. Is" Please Qead This Before Ordering. TO CORRESPONDENTS. We respectfully beg our patrons to notice the following Mee ave, (COR DrErTrLONsS, Hre: LETTERS RECEIVED. All letters replied to the same day as received. To facilitate carrying out this rule, we would respectfully ask that the name and address of the correspondents be written in full and legibly, giving name of Post Office, Cownty and State. EXECUTION OF ORDERS. All orders are executed as promptly as possible after the opening of the forwarding season. In the height of the season it is a matter of extreme exertion to fill orders within forty-eight hours after reception, and we would suggest to our customers the following hints, which we hope will prove satisfactory, as they will assist us very much in the dis- patch of business: Ist. Write your “order” plainly and legibly upon a separate list, and not mixed up in the body of your letter. 2d. In ordering, state whether standard or dwarf trees are desired, and if the age or style, or varieties named, cannot be furnished, state whether, and to: what extent, other varieties, sizes, etc., may be substituted. We never substitute unless authorized to do 8o. In case our supply of any particular variety is exhausted—which will happen in the most extensive establishments—we make it a rule to return the money, unless authorized to fill out the order with other varieties od. Orders are often sent in too late to enable us to fill them, or to notify parties in time to allow them to get supplied elsewhere. We, therefore, solicit early orders, which are filed as received, and filled in rotation. Usually we commence taking up trees by the Sth of November, and the forwarding season lasts until the middle of March. Plants — grown in pots can be forwarded at any time of the year; Strawberry Plants from October to March. : 4th. Give plain and particular directions for marking and shipping packages. When no directions are giyen, we shall use our best judgment in forwarding, but in all cases the . articles are at the risk of the purchaser after proper shipment, and if delay or loss occurs, the forwarders alone must be held responsible. Carrier’s receipts will be taken and sent to ow customers in all possible cases. PREPAYMENT OF FREIGHT. N UMEROUS and valuable additions have been made to the eollections of Fruits This being required by the Railroads here, remittances sufficient to cover freight charges must be made in every instance before orders are forwarded. (For rates of freight, see outside cover page.) ’ P) ATTENTION TO CUSTOMERS. It is our earnest desire that all the requirements and directions of our customers be scrupulously attended to by our assistants, and we practice the utmost personal supervision to see that it is carried out. We would therefore respectfully request that we be informed if at any time there is cause of dissatisfaction, that we may have it rectified at the eariiest possible moment. PACKING. Trees and Plants are packed with the utmost care, so as to insure their safe carriage to great distances. Orders to amount of $5 are packed free of charge. Cost of boxes will be charged on orders below that amount. The charge is from 25 to 50 cents, according to size of box. TERMS. Cash with the Order, or C. O. D. (collect on delivery) by Express, collecting charges to be paid by the consignee. No deviation. Large orders can be forwarded by the ordinary freight lines, and will be consigned to ourselves. The Bill of Lading endorsed to parties ordering will be sent C. O. D. by Express, thus reducing heavy Express charges and facilitating collections. We are compelled to adhere strictly to this rule owing to the difficulty in collecting amounts in remote localities, and the utter impossibility to conduct business upon a credit system. REMITTANCES Preferred in drafts on New York or Augusta, payable to our order, or wherever convenient, by Post Office Order. Money sent through the mail or by postal note is in all cases at sender’s risk. When Post Office Orders cannot be procured send the money in a Registered Letter. TREES IN LARGE QUANTITIES AND SPESIAL VARIETIES. Estimates for such will be given on application. Orders for 100 or 1,000 trees in the aggregate, but comprising several classes, will be billed as follows: 50 trees of a class at 100 rates; less than 50 at dozen rates. 500 at 1,000 rates; less than 500 at 100 rates. NO TREES OR PLANTS SENT BY MATL, The labor and time required to properly prepare trees for mailing during our busy season, together with frequent insufficient remittances for postage, are inadequate to the returns, and compel us to respectfully decline this class of orders. RESERVING TREES. Orders for trees to be reserved for weeks or months after the opening of the shipping season, must in every’instance be paid for in full at time of ordering. We trust that the necessity of this rule will be obvious to all our friends. TO PERSONS SEEKING INFORMATION UPON HORTICULTURAL SUBJECTS. While we are always ready to answer every letter desiring information upon these topics, and will cheerfully reply briefly to all queries. we respectfully suggest to our cor- respondents to subscribe to either of the following practical periodicals, as it often requires more time to answer a query than we can afford to devote to it; and these publications will give full information upon every subject coanected with horticulture : The Gardners’ Monthly, $2 per annum; Chas. H. Marot publisher, 814 Chestnut street, Philatelphia. The Rural New Yorker, $2 per annum, weekly ; 34 Park Row, N. Y. The American Agriculturist, $1.50 per annum, monthly; 751 Broadway, N Y. The American Garden, $1 per annum, monthly; E. H. Libby, Greenfield, Mass The Southern Cultivator, $1.50 per annum. monthly ;° Atlanta, Ga. d The Southern World, $1 per annum, semi-monthly; Atlanta, Ga. The Florida Dispatch, $2 per annum, weekly ; Jacksonville, Fla, y 3 Special attention of fruit growers and amateurs is called to the Catalogue of the Gxrorcia Stare Horticunrurat Socrsty. This Catalogue gives lists of the most val- uable varieties or Fruits susceptible of being successfully cultivated in each main geograph- ical region of the State, and is annually corrected and revised by the Society. The trans- actions of the Society’s "Annual Session are furnished to the members of the Assoeiation. Annual membership fee, $2. Address T. L. KINSEY, Secretary, SAVANNAH, GA. EXTRA TREES OR PLANTS. It is our practice to always add some additional trees or plants commensurate witii the extent of the order. This is a matter which must be left to our discretion, as we cannot take notice of requests naming certain varieties which are to be sent gratis with the order. DISTANCES FOR PLANTING.

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 dis- tances 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 going upwards. Use surface soil in filling up, and with this mix a shovelful or two of cotton seed and stable manure compost well de- composed. Avoid the contact of the roots with heating manures. SELECTION OF TREES. For this ciimate experience has taught us that one year old trees, of thrifty growth, are the most desirable.. 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 cannot be taken up without cutting away a large portion of them. 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 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 te 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. d “ars most desirable soil for fruit trees is a rich loam, naturally dry, or made so by PREPARATION OF THE TREE. Before planting remove all broken roots. Cut back one year old Peach or Apple trees to a naked stem two to three feet high, leave no side branches. Two years old trees should have their branches cut back to half their length or more, the Jower less than those above, cutting in shorter as you go upward, and leave the leader the longest. Plant as deep as the tree was standing in the Nursery row, except Dwarf Pears and Cherries, which should be planted sufficiently deep to cover the stock from two to three inches. 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. IMPROVED CHICKASAW TYPE. Varieties of this type are less liable to attacks of curculio than those of European origin, and combine vigor of growth with great productiveness.

This race is as distinct from our native varieties as is the LeConte Pear from the Bartlett. The trees resemble somewhat our vigorous varieties of the Chickasaw type, but the foliage is larger and quite distinct. They are hardy as far North as where the Wild Goose succeeds, and for our Southern States they open a new era in plum culture. Some varieties mature their fruit very early, and will not all succeed outside the orange belt because of :heir early blooming; but the late ripening sorts bloom at the same time as the Wild Goose, and their fruit being i in season when there is a scarcity of other classes, will at once place them among our most valuable products. 12 KELSEY’S JAPAN PLUM. [From the Pacific Rural Press, April 28th, 1883.] “This remarkable plum was imported from Japan in 1871 by the late John Kelsey, of Berkeley, California, whose name has been given to the fruit as a just tribute to the memory of one of Californis’s pioneer leaders in Horticulture, and the first producer of a fruit that has any promise of being one of the greatest acquisitions to our already long list of plums. P The trees at first received little attention, the merits of the fruit not being known. They were allowed to stand in the nursery rows until they fruited, after which they were transplanted to the orchard, where there are at present upwards of one hundred trees, which have been in bearing since 1876, and have never failed to produce all the fruit they could carry. The following points of excellence are claimed for it: ist. Its wonderful productiveness is unsurpassed by any other plum, either native or foreign. 2d. It comes into bearing at the age of two to three years, blossoms appearing fre- quently on yearling trees. ° 3d. The fruit is of very large size, being from seven to nine inches in circumference, and specimens weighing six and a half ounces each; it has a remarkably small pit. 4th. It is very attractive in appearance, being of a rich yellow, nearly overspread with bright red, with a lovely bloom. It is heart shaped. It ripens from first to last of September. 5th. It is of excellent quality, melting rich and juicy; its large size renders the paring of the fruit as practicable as the peach, which is quite a novelty, and it excels all other plums for canning. As a dried fruit it is destined to take the lead, equal to, if not surpassing the best dried prunes. Experimen:s resulted in yielding nineteen and a half pounds of dried fruit to the 100 pounds of fresh fruit. In texture 1t is firm and meaty, and it possesses superior qualities for shipping to long distances; it remains solid longer than any other variety.’’ We received specimens of the fruit from California early in September, 1885, and they kept perfectly sound for two weeks; the average weight being 4 ounces. One year old trees, planted in March, 1885, are now bearing good crops of fruit. _ In order to learn all we could as to the behavior of this fruit since its ‘introduction here by us in 1884, we lately sent out a circular letter to one hundred persons, selected among the most prominent pomologists, and requesting their opinion. The answers to this circular are exceedingly satisfactory, and substantiate every expectation we anticipated in dissemi- nating this fruit. Some instances of maturing in July are recorded, but this from bruises to the fruit. In Florida and the coast belt we may expect the period of maturity to be in advance of that of California, but for Middle Georgia it will likely be from August 15th to September. It should be stated that this fruit bears no relation whatever to the fruit more com- monly called Japan Plum in Florida and Louisiana. The latter is the true Japan Medlar, an evergreen tree, and botanically known as the Eryobothrysz Juponies, or Mespilus Ja ved. Price of trees, 4 feet and over, 50c. each; $5 per 12; $40 per 100. Botan, Chabot, Masu and Longfruited, are of the same general character as Kelsey’s. Some are stouter growers and foliage broader. Seyeral trees are bearing fruit, although imported in December, 1885, but we are so far unable to report upon their season of maturity, which will likely correspond with that of Kelsey. Our California correspon- dents endorse the good qualities of these varieties. 1 year old trees and June buds, 50c. each. Botankio. This differs in foliage from the foregoing, leaves being broader and partaking of the apricot character, and probably a very early maturing fruit. One year old trees and June buds, 50c. each. ? Virgata (2) This variety has been in our grounds since 1874 and cultivated solely as an ornamental tree. Its small rose colored double flowers of the most symmetical form makes this tree most conspicuous during February and March. This year, owing to unusually late blooming, an abundant crop of fruit was produced. Fruit small oblong, orang2 yellow, with apricot flavor; ripens middle of May, and may prove aia uable where the Peen-To peach succeeds. In foliage it resembles the Botunkio. and may prove to be of that class. We are not certain that the name under which we have grown it is correct. 25c. each, SI SSE ST ET RTT TT Is SIMON’S (Prunus Simoni, or Apricot Plum.) Introduced from China at Metz (Alsace-Lorraine) by Mr. Eugene Simon some fifteen years ago, and has been successfully cultivated in various sections of the United States. It is perfectly hardy as far North as Iowa, where it produces fruit freely. height, quite upright in habit, leaves long dark green. brick red tomato. Tree of medium Fruit resembles a flattish smooth Flesh fine apricot yellow, firm, and with a peculiar aromatic flavor. Maturity in France and Iowa during August. Will probably mature here in July. Good authorities state that, as with most of the Oriental fruits, this reaches its highest perfection in a hot dry summer air. We may, therefore, expect the fruit to be even better here than in Iowa, or in the valley of the Moselle, in France, where we saw it during July before maturity, and where it is much esteemed. de. each; $5 per 12; $40 per 100. PRUNUS PISSARDI (Persian Purple Leaved Plum.) This is unquestionably the most desirable of all purple leaved trees, as it retains its deep color throughout our warmest weather and its leaves until midwinter. For three years past we cultivated it as an ornamental variety, but to this it adds the merit of pro- ducing a fruit of the size and shape of the De Carudeuc plum. Color bright crimson from the time the fruit is set cooking. Maturity middle of June. from the attacks of the curculio.

Norse.—Since the introduction of the Alexander, a very large number of new seedlings have been brought before the Horticultural world. Nearly every one is said to be earlier in maturity or of larger size. After several years of fruiting, the conclusion is that the bulk have a common origin, being, as is believed, seedlings of Hale’s Early, and so near alike in size, fla- vor, growth, sezson of maturity, -and other characteristics, as to puzzle the best growers to detect any difference between them. They are nearly all reproductions of Alexander. While some varieties may mature earlier in certain localities than others, the result ofa series of years has been that these pecu- liarities are not permanent, but that early maturity is influenced mainly by locality and condition of the weather in May. We have, therefore, discarded the propagation of the fol'owing so-ealled varieties and given precedence to Alexander as_ best, largest, earliest and best for shipping, viz: Alpha, Amsden, Arkansas Traveler, Brice’s Early, Brigy’s May, Cumberland, Gov. Garland, Honeywell, Musser, Saunders, Waterloo, Wilder, etc., etc. Baldwin’s Late. Large, oblong, greenish white, with red cheek, juicy and well fla- vored. October 10th, | Beatrice.

In some localities this variety is predisposed to decay, and therefore almost worthless. In others, however, it has proven to be an early and good flavored variety, and more free from decay than the varietics ripening imme- diately after it. Wherever it is success- ful it has given large profits. With us it is the only variety that has not failed to give fruit during the last fifteen years; while in some seasons almost every va- riety of peach failed to give fruit, our Hales have not missed a crop. Honey. Medium, oblong, with a sharp re- curved point, creamy white, washed and mottled carmine, flesh of a peculiar fine texture and a honey sweetness; tree very thrifty, distinct grower and prolific.
