Lntroduction
q . VF INETEEN years ago the Glen St. Mary Nurseries
were established, and since that time —always
under the same management—have sold many
millions of trees and plants.
It is a matter of congratulation that complaints
have been few and expressions of satisfaction
numerous.
Our descriptions of varieties are plain and concise, with no
overdrawn pictures allowed to overshadow the text. Besides the
descriptive part of the Catalogue there will be found a few
remarks To Customers, and our usual comprehensive Price-List.
Although trees for the South and Southwest are made a
specialty, yet our list of varieties is not limited to the require-
ments of these sections alone. We raise trees adapted to many
sections of the United States, and our products go also to many
foreign countries. |
The best varieties for a given section, and the healthiest and
most vigorous specimens of those varieties—that is the great
desideratum.
It is our business to furnish such trees. It has been our
business for years. We appreciate your patronage if already a
customer; or bespeak it if you are a tree-planter or thinking of
becoming one.

E HAVE for some years been steadily increasing our supply of Orange trees,
and now place them where, from their importance, they naturally belong — at
the very beginning of our Catalogue. = The select varieties that we offer are budded
principally upon Sour Orange and Citrus trifoliata stocks. ‘The Satsuma, however,
we grow only upon Sweet Orange and C. trifoliata. When no mention is made of
stock wanted, we shall ship trees grown upon stock we believe to be best adapted to
the section from which the order comes, the C. trifoliata stock being more particularly
recommended for cold sections than for those comparatively free from frost.
TIME OF RIPENING will vary more or less with different conditions of soil, season,
etc. The varieties listed may, however, be arranged with approximate correctness as
follows: Very Early—Boone’s Early, Early Oblong, Satsuma, Sweet Seville. Early—
Centennial, Enterprise Seedless, Nonpareil, Parson Brown. Medium--Du Roi Blood,
Homosassa, Jaffa, Madam Vinous, Magnum Bonum, Majorca, Maltese Blood, Man-
darin, Old Vini, Pineapple, Ruby, St. Michael’s Blood, Tangerine, Washington Navel.
Late—Maltese Oval, Mediterranean Sweet, Paper Rind. Very Late—Bessie, Bra-
zilian, Hart’s Late, Joppa Late, King, Valencia Late. Blood markings do not appear
till late in the season. ‘Some varieties possess the quality of hanging on the tree and
improving in quality for some time after they first become marketable, and are good
shippers late in season, as well as during the time indicated above.
BESSIE. Medium-sized; skin thin, but tough
and firm; juicy and fine-flavored. One of the
most profitable of the late sorts. Holds in perfec-
tion until May. ‘Tree vigorous and productive.
BOONE’S EARLY. Medium size; skin thin;
pulp tender, with very little “rag,” and few seeds.
Quality excellent. Very early.
BRAZILIAN. A variety as yet comparatively
little known by Florida Orange-growers, but
highly recommended for vigor and productiveness.
Fruit of very fine quality, and hangs upon the
tree without deterioration until midsummer.
CENTENNIAL. This variety ripens early, but
hangs on the tree well, and is of fine quality late
in the season. ‘The tree is a vigorous grower and
prolific bearer.
DU ROI BLOOD. Very similar to, if not
identical with, Ruby and, therefore, a very fine
Blood Orange. Tree vigorous and nearly thornless.
EARLY OBLONG. Medium size, oblong; a
good keeper and shipper; sweetens with the first
very early kinds. Tree a good grower and bearer.
ENTERPRISE SEEDLESS (Starke Seedless).
Size medium; fine quality; seedless or nearly so.
Tree vigorous and productive. Early.
HART’S LATE. Of medium size, round or
slightly oval; smooth; very solid and heavy, the
flesh being very firm; flavor, when ripe, brisk and
racy; peel of lightish cast; few seeds. The tree
is a very strong, spreading and vigorous grower,
prolific; the foliage is distinct, having few thorns.
The fruit ripens in April, and hangs on the tree
in good condition until midsummer. One of the
best late varieties.
HOMOSASSA. Size about medium, round,
somewhat flattened; very heavy; color bright ;
skin very smooth, thin, tough and dense; pulp
fine, sweet and juicy; flavor full, vinous and
[2
ORANGES
Glen St. Mary sPurseries
sprightly; membranes covering segments of pulp
thin and small in quantity; keeps and carries well.
Quality best. ‘Tree vigorous and prolific.
JAFFA. Medium; peel thin; pulp melting,
scarcely any fiber; juicy, rich and of exquisite
flavor. In quality unsurpassed, being one of the
four or five varieties which head the list in all
competitions. The fruit remains on the tree in
prime condition for a long period. ‘The tree is a
strong, upright grower of distinct habit, practi-
cally thornless, and fruits young and heavily.
JOPPA LATE. This variety was originated
by Mr. A. B. Chapman, of San Gabriel, Cal.,
from seed obtained in Joppa, Palestine. An ex-
tremely late Orange—said to be even later than
Hart’s Late. Tree upright, vigorous grower and
thornless. Fruit medium to large, oblong, with
thin rind; few or no seeds; pulp juicy and sweet.
KING. Very large, flattened, and with loosely
adhering rind and segments, like all the Mandarin
varieties; color orange-red; skin rough, but gen-
eral appearance fine; its high and peculiar aro-
matic flavor is very agreeable; it has few seeds;
flesh deep red-orange, juicy, meaty; inner lining
of rind and membranes bright buff. Quality very
best. Tree upright, strong grower, quite thorny;
foliage dark and rich. March, April and May;
keeps in good condition even later.
MADAM VINOUS. One of the best of the
numerous good varieties from the Indian river
section of Florida. Ripens midseason.
MAGNUM BONUM. Size large to very large,
flattened; color light, clear orange; skin smooth
and glossy; color of flesh light; grain very fine,
tender and melting; fruit very heavy and juicy;
excellent shipper; quality best. ‘Tree prolific and
vigorous.
MAJORCA. Medium size, round; rich, juicy
and sweet; equals Jaffa in quality, its character-
istics being similar to that variety. It is a good
keeper and shipper. Tree a strong, bushy grower,
very robust ; foliage very distinct, nearly thorn-
less; a fine bearer.
MALTESE BLOOD. Fruit medium in size,
round or slightly oblong; skin very smooth, thin
and tough; very juicy, sweet and sprightly;
3]
good in December, but better in April; good
shipper. Tree prolific and vigorous, practically
thornless; foliage distinct.
MALTESE OVAL (Garey Med. Sweet).
Fruit medium to large; quality good; ripens me-
dium to late. Tree vigorous and prolific.
MANDARIN. Medium size, flattened ; deep
yellow; skin thin; segments loosely adherent;
flesh dark orange-yellow, spicy and aromatic.
Although largely superseded in Florida by King,
Satsuma and Tangerine which, like Mandarin,
belong to Citrus nobilis type, yet in southern
Louisiana the Mandarin is still adhered to as one
of the most profitable sorts.
MEDITERRANEAN SWEET (Sanford’s).
One of the best and most profitable Oranges origi-
nated from Gen. Sanford’s importations. ‘Tree a
good grower, and bears young.
NONPAREIL. Size medium to slightly larger,
somewhat flattened; grain fine; pulp melting and
tender; juice subacid and vinous; quality best.
Tree vigorous and prolific. One of the most
desirable of the earlier varieties.
OLD VINI (Beach No. 7). Size medium,
slightly flattened; color dark orange; pulp melt-
ing; juice subacid and of a remarkably pleasant,
sprightly quality.
PAPER RIND (St. Michael). Fruit medium
size, round; skin thin; quality excellent; very
productive. ‘Tree a vigorous grower.
PARSON BROWN. Size medium, round or
slightly oblong; peel smooth, texture fine; quality
good. Keeps and ships well. By many consid-
ered the best of the early varieties. It begins to
ripen in October.
PINEAPPLE. An excellent variety, introduced
some years ago, and in great favor in the Orange
lake region of Florida. When grown in that sec-
tion the fruit possesses a particularly fine pineapple
flavor. ‘Tree a very strong, upright grower; pro-
lific. Fruit medium size; thin peel; heavy, juicy.
RUBY. Medium-sized, nearly round; skin thin
but very tough; pulp melting, rich, juicy and of
exquisite flavor; quality unsurpassed. As the fruit
ripens it usually becomes streaked or mottled with
blood-red; often the entire pulp gets ruby-red,
Glen St. Mary sPurseries
ORANGES
showing through the peel in a reddish blush on
the outside. One of the best of the Blood Oranges.
The tree is vigorous, nearly thornless, and a regu-
lar bearer. We esteem this one of the most val-
uable varieties for general planting, and recom-
mend it without qualification.
ST. MICHAEL’S BLOOD. One of the best
of the Blood Oranges. Fruit medium size, almost
round, with thin but tough skin; pulp juicy, melt-
ing, rich and of exquisite flavor, being unsur-
passed in quality. Usually the fruit becomes
mottled or streaked with blood-red as it ripens,
the color of the pulp often a beautiful rich ruby-
red, showing through the peel in a reddish blush.
The tree is a regular bearer, vigorous and nearly
thornless.
SATSUMA (Synonyms, Oonshiu, Kii Seedless).
This variety was brought to Florida from Japan
some years ago by General Van Valkenburg, a
former resident of that country. In Japan it is
called “Oonshiu,” and it has been designated by
some subsequent importers as “Kii Seedless.”
When first introduced, at the suggestion of Mrs.
Van Valkenburg, it was called Satsuma, after one
of the chief cities of the Island Kingdom; it is
now generally known in market and pomology by
this name. Although generally classed with the
ordinary sweet Orange (Citrus aurantium dulcis),
Oranges of the Mandarin type (C. aurantium
nobilis), to which the Satsuma belongs, are quite
distinct. The fruit is characterized by flattened
shape, loosely adhering rind, and easily separated
segments; fruit and foliage highly and peculiarly
aromatic. ‘The trees are somewhat smaller than
other Oranges, and of unique habit. They are
often, and not inappropriately, called Japanese
Oranges by propagators; they are the favorite
Oranges in Japan, which has given us some of our
best varieties. The Satsuma is of medium size,
flattened; the color is not red, like the King and
Tangerine, but a deeper yellow than the Manda-
rin; rind and segments part freely; fiesh fine-
grained, tender, juicy, sweet and delicious; entirely
seedless. Ripens in September, October and
November. Brings a high price in the early mar-
ket. Tree thornless, and bears young. ‘This is
undoubtedly the hardiest known variety of edible
Oranges, and this fact, taken in connection with
its early ripening and fine quality, makes it an
exceedingly valuable sort. We are growing it
largely in our own Orange groves at Glen St.
Mary, in northern Florida, and are probably the
largest propagators of this variety in America.
We can furnish the Satsuma both on sweet stock
and Citrus trifoliata, but do not grow it on sour
stock. It succeeds much better on sweet stock than
on sour, while on the entirely hardy Citrus trifoli-
ata the inherent hardiness of the Satsuma is still
further enhanced. We nearly always have this
variety in fruit in the nursery rows and can fur-
nish trees of bearing size.
SWEET SEVILLE (Sanford’s). aly to me-
dium, round; a good keeper and shipper; sweet-
ens first of the early kinds; one of the best of the
early varieties. ‘Tree vigorous and prolific. Pos-
sesses same characteristics as Early Oblong; is of
rather better quality, and yields usually a third
more fruit.
TANGERINE (Dancy’s). One of the well-
known “kid glove Oranges ;” belongs to the Man-
darin family. Fruit flat, small to medium; skin
separates freely from the flesh; juicy, aromatic and
rich, of a deep red color. December, January and
February. The tree is a particularly good grower
and prolific.
VALENCIA LATE. A very late and very pro-
lific variety of fine quality. Season May and June,
but fruit will hang on trees till August or Septem-
ber. Fruit of good size, somewhat flattened ;
juicy and tender.
WASHINGTON NAVEL. Like other Navels,
bears a peculiar umbilical formation on the sum-
mit or blossom end of the fruit; this protuberance
is not as prominent as in some varieties of Navel
Orange. The fruit is large to very large, some-
what oval; flesh meaty, tender, sweet and high-
flavored; an exceptionally luscious fruit, without
perceptible membranes or fiber in its interior
make-up. Ranks first in quality. For its superior
prolificness, the “Washington” is preferred to
other Navel varieties in most localities where these
are largely grown. ‘Trees of this variety, when
budded upon C. trifoliata stock, have fruited
freely with us in the nursery rows.

POMELO:-LEMONS
Glen St. Mary Murseries
POMELO oerapz FRuiIT)
This fruit has of late years assumed great commercial importance, and the steady
demand and high prices that have prevailed for it are incentives to increased planting.
While there are a great many varieties grown which have achieved more or less of a local
reputation, we believe the varieties herein listed to be unsurpassed in the desired requi-
sites; viz., thinness of peel, juiciness, delicacy of structure, and absence of bitterness.
DUNCAN. A strong grower and regular and
prolific bearer, of full medium size (46 to 54 to
the box) and of most excellent quality. The
originator of this variety, A. L. Duncan, the
formerly well-known horticulturist, Dunedin, Fla.,
says of it: “I do not know how either tree or
fruit could be improved.”
MARSH SEEDLESS. This is one of the
most popular varieties, and nearly seedless—gen-
ately smooth; color lemon-yellow; heavy; rind
thin; very juicy, and of excellent quality. Feb-
ruary and March.
TRIUMPH. Medium; peel smooth, clear, thin
and fine-grained; less “rag” than in most Grape
Fruits, and fewer seeds; very heavy, juicy and
well flavored. There is no bitter in the juice, flesh
or membranes surrounding the cells and dividing
the segments, and very little in the white inner
erally three to six to a fruit. Size large; form
roundish, slightly necked at base; surface moder-
lining of the peel. Tree bears young, and is very
prolific. One of the best of the improved varieties.
LEMONS
While commercial Lemon-culture is necessarily confined to the more southern
regions of the “Citrus Belt,” and exceptionally favorable locations farther north in the
same belt, it is altogether likely that upon the hardy, dormant-in-winter Trifoliata
stock it can be successfully grown, at least in an amateur way, and for home use,
throughout a much wider range.
VILLA FRANCHA. Medium size; rind smooth, thin and sweet; juicy; acid very strong and of
fine quality; tree has but few thorns, and is a vigorous grower and very productive. Fruit a good
shipper. Imported by General Sanford; considered one of the very best; has taken first rank in many
KUMQUAT
This unique and curious member of the Citrus family, commonly called Kum-
quat in this country, is a native of Japan, where it is known as Kin-Kan, which
means Gold Orange; Kumquat is Chinese for the same meaning. In Japan it is
exclusively grown upon Trifoliata stock. On this stock, in open-ground culture, it is
a large bush or small tree, sometimes attaining a height of 12 feet. It bears in great
profusion a small and very handsome deep yellow fruit. ‘The whole fruit, rind and
all, is eaten, and people become very fond of them. The sweet rind and agreeably
5]
Glen St. Mary urseries KUMQUAT
acid pulp make a piquant combination, relished by most palates. Preserved in sugar
or crystallized, the Kumquat, wherever it is known, is deservedly very popular.
As AN ORNAMENTAL.—The trees bear as soon as they have wood enough to
hold fruit. Diminutive trees in pots are loaded with flowers and fruit every year.
The small but exquisitely beautiful fruit hangs on the unique and handsome ever-
green trees all winter. While in ordinary open-ground culture the trees grow large
enough to yield several boxes of fruit, they are easily restricted to dwarf size. These
little trees, with compact head, beautiful foliage and abundant flowers and fruit, are
very popular for room decoration. As a window plant at the North, for pot culture,
as well as for gardens and grounds in the orange region, the Kumquat is one of our
handsomest and most valuable ornamentals.
THE KUMQUAT AS A MARKET FRUIT.—Kumquats, which have appeared in our
markets to a limited extent during the past few years, have met ready sale at enor-
mously high prices, bringing from $10 to $15 per box. At present the supply is
entirely inadequate to the increasing demand.
VARIETIES.— There are two varieties, Nagami and Marumi. The Nagami is
about an inch and a-half long by an inch in diameter; deep orange-yellow; the
delicate peel is sweet, spicy; pulp tender, agreeably acid. Tree handsome; branches
slender, without thorns; leaf small, narrow, oval, almost lanceolate; very productive.
The Marumi differs only in size and shape of fruit—it is round, and about one inch
in diameter.
In Our NURSERIES we have both of these varieties fruiting heavily, and deem
them so valuable that we have alternate rows marked “don’t dig.” In other words,
we deem it more profitable to retain sufficient of these to transform the nursery into
an orchard than to sell them out clean.
CITRUS TRIFOLIATA
(Citrus trifoliata, Limonium trifoliatum; Egle sepiaria and Citrus triptera of botanists)
Unlike most of our cultivated Citrus fruits, this is not a hybrid, sport or derived
sort, but a primitive, wild species, reproducing itself practically without variation from
the seed. It is a native of Japan, where it grows wild, and has long been used as a
stock for cultivated varieties of the Orange. It is deciduous, has dark, glossy green
trifoliate leaves, and is thickly studded with stout thorns. It bears young (in 4 to 6
years from the seed), the fruit being inedible. Its habit of growth is peculiar, being
very angular and distinct. IT IS ENTIRELY HARDY throughout the Lower South,
being unaffected by such frosts and freezes as occur in this region. Specimens, entirely
unprotected, have stood the winters uninjured for years as far north as Washington.
[6
CITRUS TRIFOLIATA Glen St. Mary surseries
INCREASES HARDINESS.—The Trifoliata stops growing early in the fall, is entirely
dormant in winter, and starts late in spring. Varieties of Orange and Citrus fruits
worked upon it will stand more cold than upon other stocks; however we explain
the fact, the fact remains, demonstrated by experience. [HE USE OF THIS STOCK
WILL CERTAINLY REDUCE THE FROST RISK in the northern edge and exposed loca-
tions of the Orange Belt proper, and upon it the hardy Satsuma can be successfully
grown in many places north of the present range of Orange-production.
RIPENS THE FRUIT EARLY.—Experience thus far seems to indicate that the
nabit of this stock to harden up early in the season hastens ripening, an important
item in localities where early frosts are apt to injure the fruit. Again, early ripening
means good prices. The first price in the Orange market is a high price.
VARIETIES BUDDED ON IT BEAR YOUNG.—AIl varieties budded on this stock
come into bearing at a very early age. At the present time (October, 1900) we have
24 varieties of Oranges, Pomelos and Kumquats, budded on this stock, fruiting in the
NURSERY ROWS. ‘There are many boxes of fruit on the nursery trees. ‘The frontis-
piece shows some of these trees loaded with fruit, as photographed on October 1,
1900—less than twenty months after one of the most severe freezes ever known in
Florida.
MAKES GOOD-SIZED TREES.—The fact that this stock has been considerably
used for the propagation of small Orange trees for house culture, and for grounds at
the North, where the trees must be removed indoors in winter (for which it is espe-
cially well adapted), has led to the impression that varieties worked upon it were
necessarily very much dwarfed. ‘This is erroneous; in open-ground culture Oranges
upon Trifoliata stock are not dwarfs in this diminutive sense, but make good, sizable
trees. In previous Catalogues we have given reports from various sections of the Gulf
region upon the size attained by different varieties of Oranges upon Trifoliata stock,
showing that Satsuma and other varieties of the Mandarin class, varying in age from
5 to 9 years, ranged in height and spread from 8 to 12 feet, while other varieties, at
7 years, were 15 feet high.
FoR ORNAMENTAL PURPOSES.—The ease with which it can be confined within
small compass, and trained into almost any shape, makes it exceptionally valuable as
an ornamental. While it is bare of leaves in winter, its vivid green stems and unique
and peculiar outline give it a very striking appearance. Its large white flowers are fol-
lowed by a showy fruit, which hangs, golden yellow, on the tree through the winter.
As A HEDGE PLANT.—The vigor of the Trifoliata, its hardiness, resistant quali-
ties, stout thorns, and the ease with which it is confined in a small space, make it an
ideal hedge plant. It forms an impenetrable barrier to man and beast, and with
proper care can be made rabbit-proof. It is unquestionably the best hedge plant for
the Lower South.

E HAVE for many years made the growing of Peach trees a prominent feature
of our nursery business. While there are a few varieties that can be success-
fully planted over a more or less widely extended area, most of the varieties are limited
in their range of adaptability; hence the large number of varieties propagated.
There are several different classes or types of Peaches, as follows: Persian, which
ineludes a large number of varieties most commonly grown in the North, and com-
paratively few of which are adapted to Florida or the Gulf coast country. Northern
Chinese, which includes Elberta and many other fine varieties adapted to most of the
country generally spoken of as the “Cotton Belt,” but with Northern Florida as about
the southern limit of adaptability. Spanish, which includes many native varieties that
have originated in Florida and the Gulf coast country, and which are for the most
part fine Peaches, but better adapted to the latitude of North Florida than to that of
South Florida. Honey, which includes the parent Honey and numerous varieties that
have originated from it; the range of best adaptability being from half way down the
state of Florida northward to middle Georgia, and similar latitudes farther west to
the Mexican border. Peen-to, which includes the original tomato-shaped Peen-to as
well as the regular peach-shaped varieties that have originated from it; best adapted
to Southern Florida and similar semi-tropical latitudes. Oriental Bloods, which include
the Red Ceylon, adapted to the same range as the Peen-to type; and the Japan
Dwarf Blood, adapted to the same range of territory as the Honey type.
During the past 18 years we. have tested, in our own orchards, a very large num-
ber of Peaches, including the most prominent varieties of all the different types above
named. We have also originated and introduced several valuable sorts. As a result
of our experimentation in this direction we are now able to offer select lists of Peaches
of varieties adapted to southern sections, as well as other lists of varieties adapted
farther north. Our Peach trees are all grown on Peach stock; there is no better
stock for the Peach than the Peach.
LISTS ..70..AID. SELECTION
In assigning varieties to districts of wide area, there will be local exceptions, and
absolute accuracy cannot be expected; but the following lists, compiled after many
years of somewhat extensive planting, experimenting, research and observation will,
we are confident, prove helpful as an approximate guide to selection.

ADMIRAL DEWEY. (Per.) A new variety
that is attracting considerable attention. Fruit of
good size; skin deep orange-yellow, with crimson
cheek; flesh clear yellow to the stone, juicy, melt-
ing, vinous; quality very good. June 1 to 10.
ALEXANDER. (Per.) Large; highly colored;
flesh greenish white, juicy, vinous, of fair quality;

exceedingly handsome; the flesh is white, melting,
juicy, mild subacid, of exquisite flavor, and en-
tirely devoid of the bitter almond or noyau flavor
characteristic of the parent Peen-to and most of
its seedlings; the fruit is a perfect freestone.
Ripens June 20 to 30. ‘The trees come into bear-
ing while very young, and are exceedingly prolific.
Blooms a month later than Peen-to, thus obviating
danger from frosts in many sections. Very valuable.
BEAUTY’S BLUSH. (N.C.) A new variety,
said to be a cross between Chinese Cling and
Tillotson. Fruit large, high-colored, melting
and delicious. Ripens June 15 to 30.

Peen-to, originated at Orlando, Fla., and the
best of the “Bidwell” varieties. Shape nearly
round; size large; color yellowish white; flesh
fine-grained, sweet and juicy; clingstone. Ma-
tures about three weeks later than Peen-to. Qual-

be a very fine, large, early variety, with bright red
skin and white flesh; freestone. June 5 to ro.
DOROTHY N. (P.-to.) This new variety,
originated in Lake county, Fla., is a seedling of
Angel, and is a remarkably handsome Peach of
large size, fine quality and a perfect freestone;
shape nearly round; flesh yellow, rich, subacid,
of very fine flavor. Ripens July 5 to 15. The
tree is a heavy bearer. We have no hesitancy in
recommending this variety as a valuable acqui-
sition to South Florida planters.
EARLY RIVERS. (Per.) Large tovery large;
skin pale greenish white and very thin; flesh sub-
acid, very vinous and juicy, with delicate flavor;
free. Very prolific. June 10 to 20. Well suited
to near-by markets.
ELBERTA. (N.C.) Very large; yellow, with
red cheek; flesh yellow, juicy and high-flavored;
free. July 5 to 20. Supposed seedling of Chinese
Cling. One of the finest and most valuable va-
rieties, and one that is perhaps more largely planted
than any other one variety in America. Succeeds
in West Florida and throughout a wide range of
territory northward, but not in South Florida.
EMMA. (N.C.) Very large; yellow, with red
cheek; flesh yellow, firm, juicy; best quality.
Follows Elberta, ripening July 20 to 30. Excel-
lent market sort.
ESTELLA. (Sp.) Almost round, very large;
skin yellow, or greenish yellow, with full red
cheek; flesh yellow; freestone. Tree vigorous
and very productive. Ripens September 1 to 10,
just at a time when there is no other fruit in mar-
ket. Originated in West Florida.
EVERBEARING. (Sp.) The introducer of
this valuable new variety, Mr. P. J. Berckmans,
describes it as follows:
“This is one of the most remarkable of Peaches,
as it combines many desirable qualities which
make it of great value for family use. The first
ripening begins about July 1, and successive crops
are produced until the beginning of September.
Fruit in all stages of development—ripe and half-
grown—may be seen on the tree at the same time.
“The fruit is creamy white, mottled and striped
with light purple and with pink veins; oblong in
shape, and tapering to the apex; flesh white, with
red veins near the skin, very juicy, vinous, and of
excellent flavor; quality very good to best; free-
stone of the Indian type.
“The first ripening averages 3}2 inches long by
3 inches broad. The size of the fruit of the sec-
ond and following crops diminishes gradually,
until that of the last ripening is about 2 inches in
diameter. A supply of fruit may, therefore, be
secured from the same tree for nearly three months
in succession,
“We do not recommend the Everbearing Peach
for commercial orchards, but for family use or
small gardens, where there is room for only a few
trees, its value is unquestionable. We offer it
with confidence, as we have known the original
tree for the past five years, and have gathered fruit
from it in various stages of development. In some
parts of the country where the commercial Peach-
growers have had continuous crop failures, the
Everbearing is being considered very seriously for
orchard planting. ‘Two-year-old trees in our test
[12
PEACHES
orchards produced a fair crop of fruit during July
and August, 1898, the quality being pronounced
as unusually good by the Assistant Pomologist of
the United States Department of Agriculture, who
saw the fruit here.”
FERDINAND. (Hon.) Large, smooth, round-
ish oblong, somewhat pointed; skin white, over-
spread with red; flesh white, veined with red,

the same size as Elberta, average specimens meas-
uring 9 inches in circumference. Flesh firm and
of fine quality; freestone. Ripens just after
Elberta. Highly recommended by Texas Farm
and Ranch, which says that it has not seen any-
thing its superior in its season. P
GENERAL LEE. (N.C.) Very large; skin
creamy white, shaded with red; flesh juicy and
highly flavored; quality best; cling. July 5 to 15.

Texas.
LA MAGNIFIQUE. (Sp.) Large, roundish
oblong; skin yellowish white, washed with red;
flesh firm, yellowish white, rich, sprightly, vinous,
subacid; quality best; cling. August 1 to ro.

of Honey.
PEEN-TO. (P.-to.) A very curiously formed
Peach, resembling in shape a small, flat turnip,
both ends being flattened, and the pit also partak-
ing of the same shape. The color of the Peach
is a greenish white, beautifully washed with red
in the sun, and when allowed to thoroughly ripen .
on the tree, the fruit changes from its shade of
light green to a most delicate, waxen yellow.
Flesh pale yellow, sweet, rich, juicy and of fine
flavor, sometimes possessing a slight noyau tang,
which is barely perceptible, however, when the
trees are liberally fertilized and highly cultivated;
cling; stone remarkably small. Ripens in this
locality from May 20 to June 1. A favorite with
many South Florida orchardists. This variety,
together with the seedlings that have originated
from it, are the most tropical in character of all
the varieties listed.
POWERS’ SEPTEMBER. (Sp.) Fruit of
good size and of excellent quality, flesh white;
free. September 1 to 15. The tree is a good

PURPLE-LEAVED. (Sp.) Not recommended
for its fruit, but desirable as an ornamental on ac-
count of its handsome purple foliage. (For further
description see Ornamentals. )
RED CEYLON. (O. B.) A good-sized fruit
of dull green color; flesh blood-red to the stone,
from which it separates freely. It is not first-class
to eat out of hand, as it is too acid for most
tastes, but it is a most excellent fruit for cooking,
being possessed of a peculiar flavor when cooked,
suggesting prunelles. Ripens in June. This
Peach is as unique in its way as the Peen-to, and
of an even more semi-tropical character. Tree a
heavy and annual bearer in South Florida.
REEVES’ MAMMOTH. (Sp.) Originated in
Orange county, Florida. A remarkably large,
fine, productive freestone. Early in August.
SANGMEL. (Hon.) Large, roundish oblong,

SNEED. (N.C.) The earliest Peach known,
averaging 8 to 1o days earlier than Alexander.
Fruit of medium size, somewhat oval in shape;
color creamy white, with rich red blush on sunny
side; ripens evenly to the pit; flesh white, very
free and juicy; semi-cling. Of fine quality and
not subject to rot, as are so many others of the
early varieties. A seedling of the Chinese Cling,
it has the vigor of its parent in tree growth and
fruit buds.
SUBER. (P.-to.) The attention of South
Florida Peach planters is especially called to this
variety, offered to the public for the first time in
1896-97. Suber is a seedling of the Peen-to,
originated at Lake Helen, in southern Volusia
county. It has been quite extensively grown for
shipment by the growers of Lake Helen, by whom
it is highly esteemed. Its description is not ma-
terially different from Bidwell’s Early, except that
it is larger, firmer, and a little more acid than the
latter. ‘The tree is a vigorous grower and satis-
factory bearer, and the fruit brings a high price
in market.
TABER. (Hon.) Large, roundish oblong,
pointed; skin white, overspread with red; flesh
15 ]
white, streaked with red, firm, very juicy, rich,
subacid; of fine quality; cling. June 15 to 25.
A seedling of Honey, and one of the best ef the
numerous varieties that we have originated.
THURBER. (N.C.) Large to very large; skin
white, with light crimson mottlings; flesh juicy,
vinous and of delicate aroma; texture exceedingly
fine; free. Middle of July. Resembles Chinese
Cling in size and color. One of the best of
its class.
TRIANA. (Hon.) Large, roundish oblong,
slightly pointed; skin white, overspread with red;
flesh white, with red markings, rich, juicy, very
sweet and of remarkably fine flavor; freestone.
Ripens June 25 to July 5. We consider this
variety, originated and introduced by ourselves
several years ago, as one of the very best of the
numerous good varieties that have originated from
the Honey.
TRIUMPH. (Per.) Ripens with Alexander,
blooms late. ‘The tree makes a very strong
growth, bears young, and yields abundantly. The
fruit is of large size, with very small pit. Skin
yellow, nearly covered with red, dark crimson in
the sun. Flesh bright yellow, free when fully
ripe, and of excellent flavor.
VICTOR. (N.C. and Sp.) In 1897 this ex-
traordinarily early new variety ripened its whole
crop of fruit between May 8 and 16, on the origi-
nator’s grounds, in Smith county, Texas. Fruit
medium to large, of pleasant subacid flavor; semi-
cling. The tree is a vigorous, compact grower,
and a heavy annual bearer. The originator
claims that it is uniformly ten days earlier than
Sneed, which makes it undoubtedly the earliest
variety in existence. Well worthy of trial in the
South.
VICTORIA. (Sp.) Very large; nearly round;
skin yellow; flesh yellow, juicy, sweet and of
excellent flavor; free. August 5 to 10. One of
the best varieties of native origin, well worthy of
a place in every southern Peach orchard.
WADDELL. (N.C.) Fruit medium to large,
oblong; skin rich creamy white, nearly covered
with red; flesh white, firm, rich and sweet; free-
stone. Very prolific. Ripens June 1 to ro.

WALDO. (P.-to.) Medium size; roundish
oblong; skin highly colored, varying from light
salmon to dark red on side next the sun; flesh
yellowish white, red at the stone, juicy, melting,
sweet; of good quality; free. Ripens with the
Peen-to. A seedling of Peen-to, supposed to be
crossed with Honey.
Waldo is not only a free and regular bearer,
but it is also a high-colored, attractive fruit.
The quality of the fruit is far superior to the
Alexander and other early Peaches of parallel and
higher latitudes and, being a freestone, is pre-
ferred in market. In flavor it has the good quali-
ties of the Peen-to varieties, without a trace of the
bitter tang many of the latter are apt to have under
ordinary conditions. ‘This valuable Peach is not
restricted to this district in its adaptability; it
stands with the first and best of the very early sorts
southward throughout the state and, in the Gulf
coast section of Texas and Lower Louisiana, gives
promise of being one of the most valuable varieties.
ANGEL SEEDLINGS
We have annually more or less call for Peach
seedlings, and to supply this demand have this
year grown some trees from selected Angel seed.
In ordering, please designate them as “Angel
Seedlings” in order to distinguish them from the
budded trees of Angel. While we do not recom-
mend seedlings for extensive planting, as there is
no knowing what quality of fruit they may pro-
duce, yet, to those who have time and inclination,
they offer an inviting field for experiment in the
possibility of originating valuable new varieties.
PLUMS
T HAS now been about sixteen years since the Kelsey, the first representative of
the Japan type of Plums, was introduced into this country. Since then numerous
other varieties have been introduced from Japan, and still others originated in this
country, until now we have a list that comprises some of the most valuable Plums in
existence, many of which are adapted to both the North and the South. With the
exception of Wild Goose, which belongs to the Southern Chickasaw type, and Prunus
Pissardii, which comes from Persia, all the varieties listed are either pure or cross-
bred Japanese Plums. As a rule they are of large size and possess the desirable
quality of keeping in fine condition for some time after being picked, thus making
them valuable for shipping. When selection is left to us we will send varieties best
adapted to the section from which the order comes. For South Florida and other
similar semi-tropical latitudes, the Excelsior, originated by ourselves some years ago,
is, by all odds, the best adapted.
ABUNDANCE. Medium to large; round, with
pointed apex; skin greenish yellow ground, over-
laid with dull purplish carmire; flesh light,
greenish yellow, juicy and sweet, with a touch of
subacid and slight apricot flavor; pit small; cling;
quality best. Strong-growing, upright, prolific.
This is one of the most popular and profitable
early sorts in the Plum-growing sections of the
North and over a wide area in the Lower South.
AMERICA. (New.) One of Luther Burbank’s
recent introductions. Fruit described as very large,
glossy coral red; flesh light yellow, moderately
firm; best quality. Ripens two weeks before Bur-
bank and is a splendid keeper.
APPLE. (New.) Recently introduced by Mr.
Burbank and described as follows: fruit striped
and mottled like Imperial Gage until nearly ripe,
when it turns a deep reddish purple. The rich,
[16
PLUMS
high-flavored, sweet or subacid fiesh is rather firm,
pale red, with markings of pink; nearly freestone.
BABCOCK. (Botankio.) Fruit large, round,
conical; skin yellow, overlaid rather thickly with
purplish red and blue bloom; flesh deep orange,
solid, sugary, subacid, good flavor and quality;
cling. ‘Tree vigorous and prolific.
BARTLETT. (New.) We obtained grafting
wood of this variety last spring, from Mr. Bur-
bank, at $1 per foot. He describes it as follows:
‘Bartlett is the king for flavor; it out-Bartletts
the Bartlett pear in exquisitely perfumed flesh;
bears when two years old.”
BERCKMANS. Large, round, slightly oblong,
sometimes verging to heart-shaped ; skin yellow,
overspread with bright red and light purplish
bloom; flesh yellow and of good flavor; cling.
Fruit an exceptionally good keeper. ‘Tree vigor-
ous, productive and a reliable bearer.
BURBANK. The fruit is usually from 5 to 5%
inches in circumference, varying less in size than
the other Japanese Plums; it is nearly globular .
clear cherry-red, sometimes showing yellow dots,
or even marbled, with a thin lilac bloom; flesh
deep yellow, firm and meaty, rich and sugary,
with a peculiar and very agreeable flavor ; cling.
Tree unusually vigorous, with strong, upright
shoots and large, rather broad leaves. This va-
riety is justly one of the most popular, in both the
North and South, of all the Japanese Plums.
CHABOT. Fruit large, about 2 inches in
diameter, oblong-conical; skin pink-red, with
many very fine gold dots; flesh yellow, very solid,
rather acid, quality very good ; cling.
CHALCO. (New.) Described by the origina-
tor, Mr. Burbank, as large, flat like a tomato;
color deep reddish purple; flesh very sweet, firm,
exceedingly fragrant. The fruit, which ripens
just before Burbank, is nearly stemless and grows
very thickly on the branches like kernels on a large
ear of corn. Said to be a superior shipping Plum.
CHASE (Yellow Japan). Fruit large, round,
verging to heart-shaped; under-color yellow,
overlaid with dull red and showing many golden
dots, finally becoming dull red all over; bloom
thick ; flesh yellow, firm, rather juicy, sweet and
17]

good. Averyexcellent Plum. Tree is strong, up-
right, spreading and productive. Middle of July.
CLIMAX. (New.) Recently introduced by
Mr. Luther Burbank, who makes the sweeping
statement for this variety that “it is by far the larg-
est and best of all early Plums.”
DORIS. Of medium size; flesh juicy, sweet and
of good quality. Tree very vigorous. A promis-
ing variety.
EXCELSIOR. This variety, originated by our-
selves in 1887 and first offered to the public in the
winter of 1891-92, is worthy of extended notice.
It originated from Kelsey seed, but shows decided
evidence of being crossed with some variety of the
Chickasaw type. ‘The tree is a remarkably rapid,
strong grower and bears annually and abundantly.
Fruit medium to large, 1% inches in diameter,
nearly round, no suture, color deep solid wine-red,
with heavy light bluish bloom; stem short, skin
firm and without astringency; flesh firm, yellow-
ish, with reddish color near the pit; quality fine;
clingstone. The earliest Plum to ripen in Florida;
about June 1. Very handsome and a fine shipper.
After many years of experimenting with numer-
ous varieties of Plums, we do not hesitate to say
that the Excelsior is the most satisfactory of any
for planting throughout the length and breadth of
Florida and throughout the Gulf coast country
westward to the Rio Grande river. It is, in fact,
adapted to all the southern states, and good results
have been obtained from it as far north as Dela-
ware. Even farther north, in Vermont, it is
highly spoken of by Prof. Waugh, of the Ver-
mont Experiment Station, than whom there is no
better posted Plum specialist in America. While
adapted to this extreme range of latitude, we par-
ticularly recommend it for the extreme South, as
it is in the semi-tropical climates that a lesser
number of fine varieties are adapted.
HALE. Handsome, large, round-cordate;
orange, thinly overlaid with mottled red, so as to
have a yellowish red appearance or, in well-
colored specimens, deep cherry-red with yellow
specks; flesh yellow, soft and juicy (yet a good
keeper), with a very delicious slightly acid peach
flavor; skin somewhat sour; cling. Very late.
Tree a remarkably strong grower.

meaty, but not juicy; firm and long-keeping;
good, but not of the best quality ; free.
PERSIAN PURPLE-LEAVED (Prunus Pis-
sardii). Fruit medium to large, round, and
crimson inside and out; quality good, possessing
a very decided cherry flavor. June. Retains its
vivid purple foliage in full intensity of color
throughout the hottest summers and until midwin-
ter. The tree is a good grower, and is chiefly
jplanted as an ornamental, being decidedly the
smost desirable of the purple-leaved trees.
RED JUNE (Red Nagate). Fruit medium to
large, cordate and very prominently elongated at
the apex; suture deep, generally lop-sided ; deep
vermilion-red all over, with a handsome bloom,
very showy; flesh light yellow or whitish, firm
and moderately juicy, not stringy, slightly subacid
to sweetish, of good, pleasant quality; cling to
half-cling ; pit small. Trees vigorous, productive.
SATSUMA. Fruit medium to large, broadly
conical, with a blunt, short point, suture very
deep ; skin very dark and dull red all over, firm;
very juicy ; quality good; free. Flesh firm and
solid. It is excellent for preserving. It succeeds
in many sections, but its range of best adaptability
is farther north than Florida.
SHIRO. (New.) Recommended highly by the
originator, Mr. Luther Burbank, as a large white
Plum, which he predicts will be extensively grown.
We paid Mr. Burbank 50 cents per foot for
grafting wood of this variety.
WHITE KELSEY. The introducer of this
variety says of it: “Same as the common Kelsey
in shape and size ; pale, creamy color (almost
white) when ripe. Does not rot before maturity,
as the common Kelsey is apt to do, and ripens
earlier and blooms later than the latter; delicious
in flavor.” Not yet fruited by us.
WICKSON. A remarkably handsome and very
large, deep maroon-red Plum of the Kelsey type.
Long-cordate 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 first
quality. An excellent keeper. A cross of Bur-
bank with Kelsey, Burbank furnishing the seed.
WILD GOOSE. Fruit large, oblong; skin
bright red; flesh juicy, sweet; quality excellent;
cling. June. ‘Tree vigorous and productive.
YEDDO. A variety recently introduced, and
said to be much like White Kelsey, but of a deeper
yellow color, and 10 days later to ripen. Recom-
mended by the introducer as a very attractive and
fine-flavored Plum. We have not yet fruited it.

Kieffer, Smith and Garber.
Pears were grown in the Gulf region, and these with indifferent success.

intervening strip along the Gulf, thousands of acres have been planted in Pear
orchards and hundreds of acres are now in profitable bearing. All the Pear trees we
offer are grown upon Le Conte and Japan Pear stocks, which are, by all odds, the
best stocks for southern planting.
GARBER. Fruit resembles the Kieffer in size,
appearance and quality, but the tree is of more
open growth. Comes in ahead of the Kieffer. A
seedling of the Chinese Sand Pear.
KIEFFER. Fruit large to very large; color
yellow, with bright vermilion cheek, very hand-
some; flesh very juicy, brittle, a little coarse, but
of good quality. September and October. The
trees should not be allowed to overbear while
young, which they are inclined to do; extremely
prolific, and very valuable. Supposed cross be-
tween the Chinese Sand and the Bartlett.
LE CONTE. Large to very large, pyriform in
shape; skin smooth, pale yellow; when properly
handled the quality is good. Earlyin July. The
tree is a remarkably vigorous grower, with luxu-
riant foliage; extremely prolific and an annual
bearer. It seems to adapt itself more readily than
any other variety to radically different conditions
of soil and climate. In sections of the South
where few other Pears are satisfactory, the Le
Conte seems to have found its home. Supposed
cross between the Chinese Sand and some culti-
vated variety.
SMITH (Smith’s Hybrid). Uniformly large
and perfect, very smooth and handsome; similar in
form and color to the Le Conte; melting and juicy,
with smooth, creamy texture; quality very good
when properly ripened. Ripens with or just ahead
of the Le Conte. An early, annual and prolific
bearer, and exceedingly profitable. ‘Tree equals
the Le Conte in luxuriant growth.

It requires some experi-
ence to determine when the fruit has reached the proper stage to be marketed, and
this varies with the different varieties. Some of the varieties have dark flesh, others
light flesh, still others a mixture of the two. ‘The light and dark flesh differ radically
in texture and consistency, as well as appearance, and when found in the same fruit
are never blended, but always distinct. “The dark flesh is never astringent; the light
flesh is astringent until it softens. The dark-fleshed fruit is crisp and meaty, like an
apple, and is edible before it matures. Some of the entirely dark-fleshed kinds
improve as they soften. ‘The light-fleshed kinds, and those with mixed light and dark
flesh, are very delicious when they reach the custard-like consistency of full ripeness.
In some the astringency disappears as the fruit begins to soften; in others it persists
until the fruit is fully ripe. Seeds accompany the dark flesh. Light-fleshed kinds are
seedless. Those with mixed flesh have seeds in proportion to the quantity of dark flesh.

APRICOTS
This fruit, which has met with so much success in California, is not recom-
mended for extensive planting in the Lower South.
There are, however, a few
varieties, listed below, that do fairly well and which are best adapted of any of the
numerous sorts for this section.
BUNGO (Bungoume). One of the best of the
Japanese Apricots, bearing a golden yellow fruit
of good size and fair quality. Tree of remarka-
bly strong growth.
HUBBARD. Imported by ex-Governor Hub-
bard, of Texas, while minister to Japan. One of
the largest and best in cultivation there. Has suc-
ceded in southern Louisiana and other sections of
the Gulf coast region. A large, bright yellow,
well-flavored fruit.
ROYAL. This variety is held in the highest
esteem in California, both for shipping in a fresh
state and for drying. Fruit large, oval; color of
skin dull yellow, tinged with red on the sunny
side; flesh pale orange color, firm, juicy, rich and
vinous; freestone. Ripens in July. One of the
best for cultivation in all sections where the
Apricot thrives.
SANTA FE. Originated on the shore of Lake
Santa Fé, Alachua county, Florida. The original
tree has borne good crops annually for several
years, while the common kinds, grown in the
same vicinity, failed to fruit. It generally blooms
late enough in the spring to escape danger from
frosts, and yet matures its fruit very early in the
season—the last of May or early June. Fruit
medium in size, round, somewhat flattened; yellow,
with reddish brown dots; flesh whitish yellow;
freestone; quality best. Tree extremely strong
grower, of open habit. Of the many varieties of
Apricots which we have tested at Glen St. Mary,
the Santa Fé has given the best results.
APPLES
While the Gulf region is not recommended for extensive Apple orchards for com-
mercial purposes, yet in localities, particularly in its upper edge, some varieties are
~ successfully grown.
Our list embraces those which succeed best farthest South.
For
Florida and similar latitudes the Jennings is the best adapted.
BEN DAVIS. Medium to large; roundish,
truncated conical; yellowish, overspread, striped
and splashed with two shades of red; subacid, of
fair quality. A late ripener and good keeper.
Widely planted; popular.

Although we do not recommend this fruit for commercial planting in the Lower
South, yet in a small way, for home use, it is desirable and succeeds in many localities.
APPLE. Large, roundish; skin golden yellow;
flesh cooks tender.
CHAMPION. Fruit large and fine;
vigorous and a good bearer.
CHINESE. The extreme size of this variety
makes it really an extraordinary fruit; specimens

mon. Oblong; flesh rather coarse in texture.
Fruits readily in many sections of the Lower South.
MEECH. A vigorous grower; fruit large;
lively orange color, of great beauty; its cooking
qualities are unsurpassed.
POMEGRANATES
The Pomegranate is quite hardy throughout the Gulf states; it is a large shrub
or small tree, very graceful in form and foliage, producing a profusion of strikingly
brilliant and lovely scarlet flowers; it bears young, is prolific, and the fruit possesses a
fresh crispness, delicacy and sprightliness of flavor much esteemed by all who know it.
It should be more generally planted.
PURPLE-SEEDED. Large; rind thin; juice cells surrounding the seeds (the edible portion of
the fruit) dark ruby or wine color; sprightly, vinous, and of the best quality; superior to any other
variety in cultivation, so far as we know.

MULBERRIES - LOQUAT
Glen St. Mary surseries
MULBERRIES
Mulberries form an economic food for swine and poultry, though for this purpose
their real value is not yet fully appreciated. “The more acid varieties are much esteemed
by some for the table.
Many vineyardists and orchardists plant Mulberries to toll the
birds, which leave other fruits for the Mulberries, which they prefer.
DOWNING. A subacid berry of good quality;
strong, upright grower, with beautiful foliage;
valuable as a shade tree, as well as for its fruit.
HICKS. Fruit sweet; tree grows rapidly and
bears young; very productive; should be grown
by every farmer who keeps swine or poultry, this
variety being of special value for this purpose;
continues in bearing four months of the year.
STUBBS. A form of the native red Mulberry,
discovered in Laurens county, Georgia, 20 years
lific. The fruit, which is from 1% to 2 inches
long, is greatly superior to that produced by any
of the cultivated varieties, and lasts nearly two
months. Tree vigorous and handsome, with
broad, healthy-looking foliage.
MULTICAULIS (Morus multicaulis). The
Silk Worm Tree. A very vigorous tree, exten-
sively used for purposes of propagation, for shade
and for feeding silk worms.
WHITE (Morus alba). Large and very sweet;
ago. Large, black, vinous; excellent; very pro- rapid grower, a very productive and handsome tree.
LOQUAT
(Eriobotrya Japonica, Japanese Medlar, Biwa of the Japanese)
This fruit has been very commonly called “Japan Plum” in the South. It is not
a plum, however, and bears no relation to that fruit. The tree is hardy throughout
a wide region of the South, and is one of the most beautiful of broad-leaved ever-
greens. The leaves are large, dark green, rough and crimped; the young wood
woolly; the shoots short and thick and the branches crooked. It is a compact
grower, and forms a dense and well-rounded head. It blooms in the fall, the spikes of
white flowers being followed by a delicious fruit, which ripens in March and April.
The fruit is about the size of the Wild Goose plum, oblong, bright yellow, subacid,
and of very agreeable flavor. A good many trees are in bearing in Florida and in some
parts of Louisiana and Texas, where it is found in market, and is much esteemed in
season. It is not only eaten out of hand, but is much used in cooking, the flavor
suggesting cherries, and makes an exquisite jelly. While the tree is hardy quite far
north, it is not a success as a fruit where the winters are severe, as this is its fruiting
season. It yields occasional crops as far north as Jacksonville and Tallahassee, how-
ever, and is frequently seen in the New Orleans market. In South Florida it bears
regularly and abundantly, and its range, as a fruit crop, is about coextensive with the
orange. It is grown from seed. We consider this fruit worthy of being more exten-
sively planted. Every orchard or garden plot in the extreme South should contain at
least a few trees of this unique and desirable fruit.

GRAPES
GRAPES
N OUR test-vineyards we have fruited a great many different varieties, the best of
which are given below ; the list embracing those which have given most satisfac-
tory results in this and other sections of Florida and the Gulf coast country.
Varieties that are described as belonging to the Muscadine type should be planted
15 to 25 feet apart each way and trained on arbors.
They do not require pruning.
The other varieties should be planted 8 to 10 feet apart each way and trained on trel-
lises. They require annual pruning in mid-winter, when the vines are entirely dormant.
BRIGHTON. Highly extolled by nearly every
one who has grown it; a most excellent Grape,
and has succeeded admirably here. Bunches me-
dium; berries large and reddish, skin thin; a very
desirable table variety.
CHAMPION. One of the earliest of American
Grapes, and on that account has brought good
prices in near-by markets, but it is too tender for
long shipment. Bunches medium; berries me-
dium, round, blue-black; quality fair; vine
healthy and vigorous.
CONCORD. An old favorite, valuable for
home use and near-by markets; too tender to
transport a long distance. A heavy bearer;
adapts itself to all sorts of training; apt to ripen
unevenly in this latitude. Bunches and berries
very large, blue-black, with bloom; flesh sweet,
pulpy, tender, good; vigorous. Ripens in July.
DELAWARE. Held in high estimation wher-
ever grown; succeeds well here. A moderate
grower when young, but very hardy and vigorous
when fully established. Bunches small to me-
dium; berries small, skin red or pink, and very
thin; sweet, juicy, vinous; quality best. July.
Listed by the State Horticultural Society as one of
the best market Grapes that can be grown in
Florida.
DIAMOND. A white Grape of handsome ap-
pearance, equal or superior to Niagara in quality,
and ro days earlier than that variety. It is pro-
lific, and very thrifty and vigorous. Seems well
suited for culture in the South, both for home use
and market; it has succeeded fineiy in South
Florida.
EDEN. Belongs to the Muscadine type. A
seedling of the Scuppernong, originated by Dr.
Samuel Hape, of Georgia, who says of it: “Its
distinctive features are: Early bearing, fine qual-
ity, enormous productiveness, growing in clusters,
freedom from rot or disease, and adaptability to
either table or wine purposes.” Berry black, with
delicate Thomas flavor.
FLOWERS. Bunches composed of 15 to 20
large, purplish black berries; sweet, vinous.
August and September. Quality good. One of
the best known and most largely planted varieties
of the Muscadine type.
IVES. Generally considered one of the most
valuable early varieties for market. One of the
hardiest; strong grower; very productive; stands
shipping well; bunch large; berries large, black,
pulpy, sweet, of good quality. A popular wine
Grape. June. The quality of this Grape is much
better when grown in the South than it is in the
North. We deem it one of the most valuable.
JAMES. Belongs to the Muscadine type.
Berry of large size and good quality; black. Vine
very prolific. Commences to ripen about the first
of August, and continues until frost. Allen War-
ren & Co., of North Carolina say: “ We exhibited
this Grape at the State Exposition, with many
other fine varieties, but there was not a Grape on
exhibition to equal the James. It has taken the
premium wherever exhibited. We gathered 3%
Ibs. per square yard on the average last season
(1895), and as much as 11 Ibs. to the square
yard in the thickest places. Berries very large;
many measuring 14 inches in diameter.”

GRAPES:PECANS
John Robinson, Commissioner of Agriculture for
North Carolina, says: “ I regard the James Grape
as decidedly the best of the Scuppernong family,
for the following reasons: ‘They keep much bet-
ter, are sweeter and richer in flavor, grow in large
bunches, and can be shipped without damage.”
Our two-year-old vines of this variety have
fruited heavily in the nursery rows this season.
The grapes are large and of fine quality. We
consider it very valuable.
MEISCH. Belongs to the Muscadine type. A
variety that is now attracting considerable atten-
tion. ‘The vine is very vigorous and _ prolific.
Berries black, medium to large in size; sweet.
Ripens in August.
MOORE’S EARLY. Similar to Concord in
size and shape, but an improvement on that variety
in quality and in time of ripening, which is
earlier.
NIAGARA. Bunch and berry large; greenish
yellow; flesh sweet; quality good. Its large size
and fine appearance, together with its good quality
and earliness, have given it much popularity;
Glen St. Mary jurseries
vigorous and prolific. One of the best varieties
for East and South Florida.
SALEM (Rogers’ No. 53). Bunch large, com-
pact; berry very large, round, coppery red; flesh
tender, juicy; in quality one of the best. Ripens
with Concord. Vine healthy, vigorous, produc-
tive. One of the best of Rogers’ Grapes; suc-
ceeds well here.
SCUPPERNONG. Belongs to the Muscadine
type. Bunches composed of 8 or 1o very large
berries, bronze-colored when fully ripe; flesh
pulpy, sweet, with peculiar, agreeable musky
flavor; quality excellent. August and September.
THOMAS. Belongs to the Muscadine type,
and one of the best of its class. Bunches seldom
exceed 8 or 10 berries; color reddish purple; pulp
sweet, tender, sprightly. August and September.
WILDER (Rogers’ No. Z). Bunch large, com-
pact, shouldered; berry large, round, black; flesh
tender, juicy, sweet. Ripens about with Concord.
Vine vigorous, hardy, good bearer. Regarded as
one of the best black Grapes; on account of size
and beauty very valuable for market.

WALNUTS:ETC.

WALNUTS
English Walnuts are not grown in the Lower South to the extent they are far-
ther north and on the Pacific slope, and, generally speaking, are not considered as
reliable here as there.
The recently introduced Japan Walnut has, however, fruited
abundantly in many sections throughout Florida and the Gulf coast region, and seems
to be thoroughly adapted to our climate.
ENGLISH. The well-known Madeira Nut of
the shops. In regions where it is adapted, a fine,
lofty tree, with a spreading head, bearing crops
of excellent nuts enclosed, like our native Black
which in a general way it resembles, but is not as
thick as that of the Black Walnut. The meat is
sweet, of good quality, and can be removed en-
tire.
The tree grows rapidly, and attains a very
large size, with a magnificent spreading top.
The leaves are of immense size, of a charming
shade of green, and very handsome. We have
fruited this variety on our grounds for several
years past, and are annually more and more im-
pressed with the value of the tree, both for its
nuts and as an ornamental.
Walnut, in a simple husk. Our trees are grown
from seed, the thinnest-shelled nuts to be had
being secured for this purpose.
JAPAN. Produces in abundance nuts consid-
erably larger than the common Hickory Nut, which
are borne in clusters of 15 to 20. The shell is
thicker than the shell of the English Walnut,
CHESTNUTS
The common American Chestnut of the North does not succeed well this far
South. The Japan Chestnuts have, however, been fruited in Florida and the Lower
South for a number of years, and may be set down as the only Chestnuts that thrive
here.
JAPAN MAMMOTH. Bears bright-colored, clean-looking, sweet nuts of good flavor and
large size; the burs sometimes contain as many as five large nuts. ‘The tree is similar in habit and
growth to the Spanish Chestnut, and makes a very handsome tree. Many of the trees bloom in the
nursery the second or third year from the seed, and we have seen them fairly loaded with nuts at four
years old.
ALMONDS
We do not recommend this nut for extensive planting in this section of country,
as Almonds are not certain bearers this far South. We raise a few trees of them,
however, which are mostly in demand for garden planting, and for filling out collec-
tions. The kinds we offer are amongst the finest grown; viz., SULTANA and
PRINCESS. The soft-shelled Almonds of commerce consist principally of these
two varieties.

ROSES
ROSES
N THE WAY of ornamentals, one naturally thinks of the Rose first. The ease
with which it can be grown in the South, its long-continued season of bloom—if
proper kinds are selected—and its gracious adaptability to various situations make it
easily the “queen of flowers.”
In filling orders for Roses, when not instructed to the contrary, we reserve the
privilege of substituting. It is a difficult matter to select from a descriptive list a
collection of Roses which will subsequently prove satisfactory, unless one has some
experimental knowledge of the merits and adaptabilities of the different varieties as
grown in this part of the country. When desired to do so, we shall be glad to place
our knowledge on the subject at the disposal of our patrons in making selections for
them, and we would suggest that in most instances the best results can be obtained in
this way.
Roses belong to several different types or classes, and the class to which each
variety belongs is inserted in parentheses, to the right of the variety.

of the varieties we offer are grafted on stronger growing stocks, Madam Plantier being
largely used for this purpose.

ter here. A vigorous, lusty bush; blooms pro-
fusely at all seasons. One of the best.
GLOIRE LYONNAISE. The only yellow
Hybrid Perpetual; it cannot be called deep yellow,
but rather a pale shade of chamois or salmon-yel-
low, deepest at center, and sometimes passing to
rich, creamy white, finely tinted with orange and
fawn; the flowers have all the beauty of Tea
Roses, and are large and full, and delightfully
sweet.
GREVILLE, or SEVEN SISTERS. (Multi-
flora.) Medium-sized flowers, varying in color
from white to crimson, and borne in immense clus-
ters in great profusion. In season the vine is a

LA REINE. (Hybrid Perpetual.) Beautiful
clear bright rose ; very large, of fine, full form ;
very fragrant. One of the best Hybrid Perpetuals
in this section.
LOUIS PHILIPPE. (Bengal.) Rich, vel-
vety crimson. While not as valuable for bou-
quets as some varieties, as the petals soon drop
after the flowers are cut, it is the most showy and
satisfactory dark red Rose we have for gardens
and grounds. It makes a large, vigorous bush,
and there is scarcely a time during the entire
year when it is not covered with bright red flow-
ers. ‘There are always flowers, and nearly always
quantities of them.
LOUIS RICHARD. (Tea.) Coppery rose,
the center sometimes deep red. Very handsome.

clear pink, flushed with violet-crimson; very
sweet; flowers extra large, fine form, double and

Deep yellow; very large, very full, globular form;
delightfully fragrant; the finest of all yellow Roses.
In the North this Rose is of delicate constitution,

producing freely its magnificent flowers at all sea-
sons in great abundance. It should have the first
place in every collection.

HINTS TO PLANTERS
The land for an orchard should be dry, or at least of such a character as will drain readily,
and not hold water on or near the surface for any length of time. If it seems to be rather wet, it
can, in many cases, be made suitable for fruit trees by throwing it up into ridges with a plow, and
setting the tree on these ridges with the dead (or water) furrows running between the rows of trees
in the same general direction that the land slopes.
Never let the roots of trees be exposed to the sun. Always keep them covered with damp straw,
moss or wet blanket when planting.
Most kinds of trees should be well trimmed back before planting. It pays to plant carefully. Do
not set trees too deep—particularly Oranges.
Heel trees in if not ready to plant. Select a shady place and water well.
Before setting out Citrus trees—Oranges, Pomelos, Lemons and Kumquats—trim back the tops
well and then trim the foliage by cutting off two-thirds to three-quarters of each leaf. This reduces
the rapid evaporation of sap, that is always going on through the foliage, and makes success in
transplanting much more certain.
In watering, remember that one thorough drenching is worth a dozen small applications.
Banking up Oranges with fine earth in the fall is a great protection against cold. This also helps
to hold newly planted trees against force of wind. Mounds should be removed in the spring.
Examine Peach trees in orchard frequently near the ground for borers. Dig them out with a
sharp-pointed knife.
When Peach trees get into bearing they are apt to set too much fruit. Practice a rigid system
of thinning. Commence this when the fruit is size of a marble and continue, at intervals, until fruit
is half grown; always removing stung or imperfect specimens. At the final thinning reduce fruit to
3 or 4 inches apart. A heavily loaded Peach tree will produce as much fruit—by measure—if three-
quarters of the original number set are thinned out; and the value of the fruit on the tree that is
thinned will be double that on the unthinned one.
If curculio are troublesome, jar Peach and Plum trees in early morning, frequently, after fruit has
set, and catch insects in a hopper prepared for the purpose.
In more northern sections—and at rare intervals in the southern—trees get chilled in the boxes
owing to severe change of weather while en route. If any signs of ice should appear in the packing
material bury the trees and packing material in earth and leave several days or until the frost is
thoroughly drawn out.
Never plow under rank grass, peas, beggar-weed or other green growth in midsummer. Orchards
should be well cultivated, the first part of the season at least, but if ground is lacking in humus, cow-
peas, beggar-weed or grass can be allowed to grow in late summer and fall, to be turned under in
winter. Cow-peas, however, should never be allowed in a Peach orchard.
For quick results, apply a pound per tree of high-grade commercial fertilizer, thoroughly mixed
with earth, at time of planting. Make a second application of equal amount during the spring, and
another in summer ; combine this with frequent cultivation. At the end of the season compare your
vigorous, healthy trees with the half-starved, stunted specimens of your neighbor who has allowed his
to shift for themselves.

TO CUSTOMERS Glen St. Mary surseries
TO CUSTOMERS
The information, suggestions and conditions that appear under this head will
be found of interest to purchasers, and form a basis for intelligent ordering. We
respectfully request a careful perusal:
Location.—The Glen St. Mary Nurseries are one mile southwest of Glen St.
Mary, Baker county, Florida, a station on the Seaboard Air Line Railway, thirty
miles west of Jacksonville. _
Invitation to Visitors.—We take pleasure in showing our stock to persons wish -
ing to purchase and, if notified in time, will meet visitors at the station on arrival.
Purchasers who cannot inspect the stock can rely upon all orders and cor-
respondence receiving prompt and careful attention. We make every possible
endeavor to give satisfaction to each customer.
No Agents.—We employ no agents, and no one 1s authorized to represent us, or to sell
stock for us. We hold ourselves responsible only for trees purchased direct from the nurseries.
Club Orders.—It sometimes happens that several people wish to club together and
have one of their number order for all. Such orders are treated with due liberality.
Quality of Stock.—Our soil and natural conditions are exceptionally favorable
to the growth of fine stock, which receives painstaking care, and is marked, graded
and packed under a system which secures accuracy. Our reputation has heen built
upon the high standard of quality in the stock sent out, and patrons can depend upon
receiving vigorous, healthy, well-grown, well-rooted specimens, true to name, and free
from all injurious insects and fungous diseases.
Packing.—The stock is boxed or baled, whichever best meets the requirements
of the shipment, and is packed in the best possible manner. We have shipped
trees to Auckland, New Zealand—three-quarters of the way around the globe, and
three months in transit—and every tree lived. Shipments are annually made to the
most distant parts of the United States, Mexico, Central America and the West
Indies, and almost invariably arrive in good condition.
No charge for packing will be made on orders amounting to $2 or more, figured
at catalogue rates. We do not care to accept orders amounting to less than $2.
Prices.—We cannot sacrifice the quality of our products to compete with
inferior stock; we believe discriminating purchasers will agree that our prices are
reasonable for high-class stock. Value as well as price should be considered in
purchasing trees. An inferior tree is dear at any price. Well-developed root and
top, vigor, stamina and productiveness are essential, and depend upon proper con-
ditions and methods of propagation and growth in nursery. Tree-planting for profit
involves years of outlay, care and waiting. No planter can afford to handicap him-

Glen St. Mary jPurseries TO CUSTOMERS
self by beginning with inferior specimens, or with trees as to which there is the
least doubt about the varieties proving true to label.
Applying Prices.—Five, fifty and five hundred trees of one class at ten, hun-
dred and thousand rates, respectively, purchaser’s selection from varieties of one fruit
having a common price. For instance, fifty or more peaches, in one or more
varieties, would come at the hundred rate, and five hundred or more at the thousand
rate. The foregoing does not apply to badly assorted orders, or to long lists made
up of a few each of many varieties.
Terms Cash with order, if for immediate shipment. Orders accompanied by a
request that the trees be’ held for some weeks or months after the shipping season
opens should also be accompanied by full payment. On orders booked in advance
of the shipping season 25 per cent down, with the balance due when the shipping
season opens.
Freight Prepaid at Our Expense.—<4// orders amounting to $5 or over, which
are accompanied by remittance in full, figured at prices named in this Catalogue, we
will ship by Prepaid Freight, at our expense, to all points in the following states; viz.,
Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. To points outside of the
above-named territory we will, on cash in advance orders of $5 or upward, either prepay
the freight or allow our customers 10 per cent of the amount of the bill to apply on freight
charges, at our discretion. Prepayment of transportation charges applies only to ship-
ments forwarded by freight, or such shipments as will go by express as cheaply as by
freight. All shipments are forwarded by freight, unless the nature of the order requires
that it go by express, or purchaser requests express shipment, in which case goods will
‘ be forwarded collect, purchaser paying charges at his end of the line. In such cases
the amount that freight would have come to, if shipment had been forwarded by
prepaid freight, will be returned to purchaser.
Time of Shipment.—Unless instructed otherwise, orders received during the
shipping season will be forwarded as soon after their receipt as possible, and orders
booked in advance will be shipped as soon as may be after the shipping season opens.
The Shipping Season.—Our shipping season begins in November and continues
until March. Our trees and plants are nearly all open-ground grown, and during the
months above named are, generally speaking, in the most dormant condition, and
therefore in the best condition for transplanting. Oranges and Pomelos can, how-
ever, be transplanted earlier in the fall; also during the rainy season of midsummer.
C. O. D. Shipments.—Trees ordered sent C. O. D. (collect on delivery) must
be accompanied by one-half of the amount of the bill.
Shipping by Mail.—In ordering trees or plants for shipment by mail, add 15 per
cent to the list price on the smallest size given, to cover cost of packing and postage.
We cannot guarantee trees to come up to size specified in list, as only very small spec-
imens can be sent in this way.
[ 36
ro customers _—*©len Dt. Mary Murseries
Extra Fine Specimens.—We have nearly always on hand a limited number of
extra size trees that are not in sufficient quantity to quote in regular price-list. Any-
thing we have in extreme sizes will be quoted upon specific inquiry as to kinds wanted.
Remittances.—To secure safety and prompt acceptance, remittances should be
made by Bank Draft, Express or Post Office Money Order, Registered Letter or
prepaid Express.
IN WRITING ORDERS, buyers will oblige us and facilitate prompt execution
by using the Order Sheet to be found in this Catalogue. Whether this is done or not, the
following information should be given fully and in detail: Post office address in full,
including county and state. Point of destination, if different from post office address.
If post office and shipping address are the same, state this fact. Name route by which
goods should be shipped, if there is any preference, and they will be marked and billed
according to instructions. State whether shipment by freight or express is desired.
Order Early.—Too much stress cannot be laid upon the importance of ordering
early. Large stocks in certain varieties are sometimes entirely booked before the ship-
ping season opens, and before the shipping season closes numerous varieties run short.
By ordering early, customers secure just such sizes and varieties as they want.
Selecting Varieties suited to locality is of the first importance, and can often be
more advantageously done by ourselves than by purchasers. We are always glad to
aid our customers in their selections, when so desired, and will, upon request, cheer-
fully furnish additional information in regard to the adaptability or desirability of par-
ticular varieties.
Substitution of Varieties.—We desire to follow our customers’ wishes in this
respect, and have found that they generally wish us to substitute, to the best of our
judgment, in case any varieties ordered are exhausted. We, therefore, substitute,
unless instructed to the contrary, but never until the varieties ordered are exhausted ;
and in all cases cheerfully refund the money instead of substituting, if so requested.
Proper Labeling.—Everything sent out is plainly marked with best quality of
printed labels attached with brass wire.
We Guarantee all stock sent out to be well rooted, well grown, true to name,
properly packed, and shipped according to instructions.
Limit of Liability.—Our liability under the above guarantee is limited in amount
to the original price received.
Transportation at Purchaser’s Risk.—Our responsibility ceases upon delivery
‘in good order to forwarding companies; claims for loss or damage in transit should be
made upon the latter. We will, however, start a tracer for delayed shipments, if noti-
fied, and use every means at our command to secure prompt delivery, or recovery in
case of damage or loss.
Claims.—If, by any possibility, errors should occur, they will be promptly rectified,
if claim is made within ten days after the receipt of the goods.

The Florida State Horticultural Society.
G. LL. TABER, President, STEPHEN POWERS. Secretary,
Glen St. Mary, Fla. Jacksonville, Fla.
This Society organized twelve years ago by afew of Florida’s progressive Horticulturists, nas at-
tained a membership of about 360, and its annual meetings are occasions of exceptional interest and
instruction to all growers of fruits and minor staples.
That this Society—while laboring primarily in the interest of Florida and a Subtropical Horticulture—
has, to some extent, outgrown local environments is evinced by the fact that in its present membership
eighteen different States of the Union are represented, as well as five foreign countries.
This membership includes many men of wide reputation in scientific and practical Horticulture—
men whose life-work is in touch with the advancement of the Horticultural interests of a nation.
The Society is one in which theory and theorists are accounted entirely secondary, and where
actually demonstrated practical results are sought for and obtained; and a valuable record of them and
of the Society’s deliberations, papers, discussions and conclusions becomes the property of each member
through the medium of the
ANNUALLY PUBLISHED HORTICULTURAL REPORT.
Annual Membership fee, including copy of report, is $1.00. Remit to the Secretary—see address
above. (OVER)
