DON’T READ THIS! 


It isn’t generally read. 


But if you have time and should, thanks 
for courtesy shown. 


This, our 1908 Catalog, we have endeavored to make a 
plain, frank salesman, visiting the homes of thousands of 
our old customers and many other thousands whom we 
wish to make customers, and who, we believe, are interested 
in good trees and where they can be purchased at the right 
prices. Not cheap trees that are expensive at any price, 
but the best trees at the right price. 

A glance at the pages will convince you that it is easy 
to select the trees and plants best suited to your particu- 
lar locality and needs, and easy to order by simply filling 
out our printed order blank and to get the trees you want 
and when you want them. 

Long, tedious scientific and theoretical discussions, long 
and extravagant.descriptions have been omitted, we believ- 
ing the short pointed statements and descriptions, assisted 
by truthful photographic illustrations, sufficient to enable 


the business man and intelligent but busy farmer or fruit 
grower to select the trees, plants and varieties best suited 
to his needs. They contain the essence of our twenty-one 
years’ experience in Southern fruit growing, and if the 
facts stated and suggestions offered are noted and faith- 
fully followed you cannot go far amiss. 

Thanking the thousands who buy from us annually as 
well as all past customers for their liberal patronage, which 
has made our success in the past, and soliciting a continu- 
ance of same, together with the orders and patronage of 
thousands of new customers, upon which our future de- 
pends, we beg to continue _as

Removal of General Office The removal of our General Office from Jacksonville to Macclenny, Florida, where 
a el 


the main division of our nursery is located, has been made for the sole purpose of 
bringing in closer touch the growing, shipping and sales department of our business, thus enabling the management to give a closer 


personal supervision to all branches of the work. 


At Macclenny we have one of the finest nursery plantations and equipments in the South. 


Our facilities are complete in every 
particular—commodious offices and packing houses, well arranged and irrigated packing grounds, box factory, including saw mill; 
in fact, every convenience for the speedy and careful execution of orders. 

We will continue to maintain City Office at No. 28 East Bay St., Jacksonville, as in the past, and extend a cordial invitation to 
all our friends and patrons visiting Jacksonville to give us a call and make our office headquarters while in the city. 


The leading fruit of the South. 
the peach ranks first. 


PEACHES. 


Viewed either from the standpoint of the commercial orchardist, the farmer or the town gardener, 
If proper varieties are selected and good trees planted it succeeds over a wider range of country than any other 


fruit. A rival of the apple for first place as a market fruit; is loved by all and is the easiest and simplest to raise. 


In many sections of Florida and in 
South Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and 
Louisiana the growing of the South China 
type of peaches is taking first place. From 
a few scattering express shipments of this 
type of Peaches a few years past the out- 
put has leaped to hundreds of carloads, 
and the more widely it is known on the 
market the more popular it becomes. This 
type of peaches, usually known as Florida 
Peaches, is just beginning to be known 
and recognized on the markets of the North 
and East. Millions of fruit loving people 
anxious for the first good peaches of the 
season now know little of this superb strain 
or type ripening in May and June, they 
mistaking it when seen on the market for 
the poor tasteless varieties of the Alexander 
class, ripening in the more northerly peach 
sections in June and July. But once tasted, 
they realize the superior flavor and will 
have no other so long as they continue in 
the market. They embrace three essential 
points—Earliest to Ripen, Best in Quality, 
Best Keepers in Transit. A thousand car- 
loads annually of this sunerb type of 
peaches would only serve to nicely intro- 
duce them on the great markets of the 
country so as to create a demand on its 
merits and realize the best prices. 

The superior points in favor of the South China type 
of peaches can be emphasized more strongly in recommending them 
for the home orchard and for local market than for commercial 
shipments. No one appreciates early ripening and superior quality 
more than the family and the local market. Every farm should have 
an abundant supply for both. 


Following the name of each variety will be noticed two Bold 
Faced Letters indicating the range of adaptability, the key for

Classification of Types or Races. 
For the benefit of those desiring to know the class in which 
each variety belongs, we list them with abbreviations in italics. Thus 
(Sp.) means that variety belongs to the Spanish race or type; 
(Per.) to Persian race or type; (N. C.) to North Chinese; (S. C.) 
South Chinese; (O. B,) Oriental Blood. 
Adaptability 
of Varieties. 
In planting peaches in the lower 
South, and especially in Florida, it 
is of utmost importance that varie- 


ties are selected that are adapted to 


‘the particular section in which they 


are planted.

Packing Peaches at Our Komoko Orchards. 
AA (S. C.) Seedling of the Angel, originated 


’ 
Hall Ss Yellow. by Mr. R. E. Hall, of Volusia County, Fla., 


and sometimes called the Bonanza Peach. Medium to large size, nearly cov- 
ered with red; flesh deep yellow, red at the pit; firm, rich, melting and delight- 
ful sub-acid flavor; keeps and ships well. This variety and its parent, the 
Angel, should be plafited extensively in Florida for home use and canning, 
they being among the best varieties that can be grown in Florida for canning. 
Ripens June 25 to July 5. 


Heath Cling or Heath Late White. 


XX (Per.) Large oval with apex; skin white, slightly tinged with red; flesh 
pure white, juicy, sweet and good flavor; an excellent canning variety. Sep- 
tember 1 to 15. 


AA (S. @) The originator, Mr. Frank Howard, of 
Howard. Ludlow, Vt., who has a bex utiful place at Tangerine, 
Fla., where the peach originated, and has been grown by him for past 
eight years, says of it: 


“It is a peach nearly as early as the Jewell and far ahead of it in size, 
beauty and shipping quality. If I was after a fortune in peach growing I 
would plant many acres of them. 

“The Howard peaches I shipped to New York along with Jewells sold at 
an average of from $1.00 to $1.50 per crate higher than the Jewells and sold 
throughout the season from $1.00 to $1.50 above the highest quoted price. I 
have a letter from Messrs. Wessels & Co. in which they say they sold them to 
their best trade and had a market for an unlimited quantity and that the 
Georgia peaches or any others would not interfere with them. Its advantage 
over the Jewell are: larger size, more beautiful coloring, a better bearer, 
more thrifty tree, and a better shipper. , 

“My peaches have always netted me good prices; have always shipped by 
express.’ 


It is the peach for the small grower who cannot ship in carload lots. 
A sample crate of the Howard Peach received by us about May 20 in an 


over-ripe condition fully bore out what Mr. Howard had said of it. It was in- 
deed a surprise to see peaches of such size and such color so early in the sea- 


son. The fruit measured from 2 to 2% inches transversely and from 2% to 2% 


longitudinally. Shape nearly round, regular in outline, with 
a slight prominence on suture side, a small straight point, 
suture well marked at stem end but almost entirely dis- 
appearing at blossom end; color light green, shading to 
creamy white almost entirely overspread with bright red 
shading to very dark red on side exposed to light. The 
highest colored Peach we know of the South Chinese type; 
the flesh is white, firm and meaty, streaked with red from 
skin to pit; juicy, sweet and especially good flavor; no 
trace of the bitter or noyau so frequently found in 
peaches with Peen-to parentage: skin tough with very lit- 
tle fuz; clingstone; pit small. Claimed to ripen May 5 to 
15. Over-ripe samples received by us about May 20. 

PRICE: Standard grade 50c each, $4.00 per 10; 
Medium grade 40c each, $3.50 per 10; Light grade 35c 
each, $3.00 per 10. 


Imperial AB (S. C.) Verv large, round, 


oblong; ‘skin whitish yellow, freely 


wshed with red: flesh slightly red at pit; sweet, juicy, 
with decided sprightly tone; quality best. In the e»mmer- 
cial orchard this variety has proved itself to be one of the 
best for North Wlorida and Sou:h Georgia, Alabama, Mis- 
sissippi and Louisiana planting. The Peaches ripen more 
evenly, larger size, and are more attractive than any other 
June 25 to July 5.

eCweEll. Peaches for planting in Central and Southern Florida and 
in Southern Texas and intermediate points along the Gulf. It blooms about 
the same time as the Waldo, and ripens its fruit two weeks in advance of that 
famous fruit. It has been largely planted in nearly all of the fruit-growing 
sections of Florida and Texas, and good reports have been received from it 
wherever it is planted. It is especially well adapted to extreme South Florida 
planting. Fruit medium size, roundish oblong, small point; color light yellow, 
shading to red on side exposed to sun and light; flesh nearly white, slightly 
red at pit, rich, juicy, melting and very fine. A most desirable Peach for

Mayflower.: XX (Per.) A .new and exceptionally early Peach. 


Introduced this year by the well known and leading 
nurseryman and fruit grower of North Carolina, J. Van Lindley, who says 
of it: ‘“‘We have fruited the Mayflower here at Pomona (near Greensboro, 
N. C.) for five years and IT IS EARLIER THAN SNEED every year side by side. 
Nearly a full week earlier. It has color, being absolutely red all over, while 
Sneed, as a rule, hasn’t much color. Tree a strong, thrifty grower, large 
bloom, very prolific, inclined to overbear; size mediym, nearly round. In 
introducing the Mayflower we do so with our reputation behind it, in front 
of it, and all around it.”

WwW XX (N. C.) Buds secured from Mr. F, T. Ramsey, 
heeler. of Austin, Texas, who says of it: “If I were to 
say this is like the Lreath Cling, but ripens with Alexander I would 
only do it justice. It is another Texas scedling of the Mamie Ross 
type, that ripens with the first peachcs. Mr. Kirkpatrick, the intro- 
d=cer, had it on exhibition at the National Nurserymen’s mceting at 
Detroit on the 10th day of June. Almost as large as Mamie Ross. 
It ripens strictly with Alexander. I fecl it my duty to tell you about

Waldo Peaches as We Grow Tnetin I feel justified in saying that it is the first good Peach in the spring.’ 


TREES TRUE TO NAME. Why of course. We give as broad a guarantee as 
any reliable nursery and are prepared to live up to it. 


We not only guarantee all trees true to name, but guarantee all trees and plants or- 
dered {rom this Catalog to be healthy and to reach you in good condition. Money re- 
funded or orders refilled if any goods from us do not prove up. 

The moving of our general offices to the nursery plantat.on enables the officers of 
our company to give the closest persoral attention to propagating, cutting buds and 
scions, digging, packing and shipping. No nursery in the South of similar size receives 
as close personal attention from the heads of the firm as does ours. 


Our Peach Orchards 15 Months from Planting. 


PECANS | 
And Other Nut Trees. _ 


What the Olive was in ancient times to the people in Asia Minor 
and Southern Europe, the Pecan is and will be to the people of the 
South. Yes, even more. The tree is more majestic and stately, it 
is more hardy and thrifty, and the fruitage can be used for a greater 
range of purposes than the olive. 

The Pecan may well be termed the King of Nuts. In the forest 
it rears its stately head above its fellow trees, as if proud of the load 
of riches it carries in the form of sweet luscious nuts, the like of 
which will, where the best, thinnest-shelled and most prolific varie- 
ties have been selected and disseminated, become the leading, most 
staple and remunerative horticultural enterprise of the South. 


Adaptability and Soil. The Pecan is indigenous 
ee eo throughout the lower Mis- 
sissippi Valley and its tributaries. Old bearing trees, thriving as 
if in their native valley, are found in all parts of the South, prob- 
ably springing from selected seed planted by early settlers or In- 
dians. Pecan trees adapt themselves to and thrive on a wide range 
of soil; the alluvial soils of the river bottoms, the rolling red lands, 
the clay loams, the sandy pine, the flat woods and the rolling lands 
of the more immediate coast region seem equally well adapted. Fair 
specimens of trees are found as far south as the Manatee River in 
Florida and as far north as Central Illinois. 


Economic Value. The Pecan ranks first as a table 
EE Olas) a dessert nut. It ranks first 


in quantity of fat oil; it ranks first in food value per pound over all 
nuts. It is acknowledged by confectioners as the richest and most 
valuable. In the production of oil it gives the greatest quantity of 

the richest nut oil. 
Supply and Demand. Few people realize the quan- 
Avenue of Pecan Trees ties Laas eee ms tity Of nuts consumed in the 
on our Macclenny iia: pe lime United States. Over four and a half million dollars ($4,500,000.00) 
Plantation: See worth of nuts, all inferior to our pecans, and over four hundred 

thousand gallons of nut oil are imported annually. 

With these facts before us there is no logical reason or argument for supposing that the standard varieties of paper shell pecans will 
sell under twenty-five cents per pound wholesale for the next quarter of a century or longer. Their field for practical production is the

of the year in which to market them. t : ; Tate: é 

When we consider that all nuts imported and all others grown in this country are inferior in quality, compared to the pecan, and the — 
scope of the market we have for same, compared to the limited territory in which the best grades can be successfully and profitably 
grown, it should forever put at rest, in the minds of the timid, the fear that they will live to see the day of overproduction of this 
destined-to-be most valuable of all horticultural products. 

$ 7 A ten year bearing record has been kept of the yield from one budded pecan tree planted in 
Production and_Frotit. and Profit. 1892. The tree was planted on an average grade pine land, had good normal care, but no bet- 
ter than any orchard or grove tree should have. The variety was one of the Standard sorts, but no more prolific than many other varie- 
ties now being propagated and offered by leading Nurserymen. 

In the following tabulation we give quantity borne by the tree each year, the quantity that 1 acre, 27 trees, would produce and value at 
25c. per pound.

2 . Copied from Thomases Weekly Review, one of the most reliable 
Price of Wild Texas Pecans Last Year. pA a a Me 


“Austin, ‘Texas, December 4th, 1906: Pecans are now selling here at 15 and 18 cents a pound and there is a lively scramble among 
buyers at that price. For the first time Northern and Eastern houses have sent buyers into this section to secure pecans direct. Usually 
the big confectionery houses depend upon the local commission men for their supply. ‘This year fearing that the ‘supply would not be ote 
equal to the increased demand, their own men have been scouring the country. ; ; am 

“A good grade of large soft shell pecans is almost impossible to get, those fortunate enough to have them are getting fabulous prices. — 


Those being offered for sale are small and the majority have tinick hard shells, but every grade is being eagerly gobbled up.”

The greatest horticulturist of his time, 
Luther Burbank and the Pecan. [ie ora ear California, in con. 


vefsation with a fruit grower from Texas, had this to say: “If I were a young man I would go y 
to Texas, knowing as I do the possibilities of the pecan industry, and devote my life in propagat- 
ing new species of the pecan and doing the same work there in nut culture as I have done here 
in other lines of horticulture. Your pecan is superior to our walnut and you are standing in your siete = 
own light; why not develop it? I cannot think of any kind of diversification likely to pay the Y Ga t 
Southern farmer as well as pecan growing. Cotton will not always be ten cents a pound; when , 
it gets down to five and six cents again the income from a grove of pecans will be very accept- y d ie 
able. Cotton can be raised between the trees while they are small and when they get large enough y ! = 
to shade the land, the income from them will be greater than that from a much larger area in ( 28 


cotton, even at present prices.” What he says about Texas applies equally throughout the entire 
cotton belt. 


Live and Win. Pecan growing as compared with Life Insurance. An amount 
equal to the annual premium on a $5,000.00 life insurance policy in- 
vested in planting a pecan grove for five successive years will in a few years earn annually an 
amount equal to the face of the policy and increase annually. You don’t have to die to reap the 
reward. You can live and enjoy it. Your widow, your children and your children’s children can 
enjoy the annual income after you have passed away. 

As an Investment. Parents and guardians of children and young men wishing to make a 
small investment where it is surest and best will find in a pecan grove safety and surety of an- 
nual incomes throughout life, which can be reached by no other investments. 


Do not confuse the price of Budded or Grafted with cheap prices that may be quoted for 
seedling trees. If seedling trees are wanted see our prices on page 9. 


In planting Budded or Grafted trees you are sure of getting nuts of good size, thin shell 
and uniform quality.

C As the president is at the head of all institutions, 
President. so is the Fresident Pecan at the head of the nut 
world. Embracing all the qualities of a perfect nut in shape, color, 
thinness of shelland partitions, plumpness, color and quality of kernel, 
vigor and prolifieness of tree, it is ideal. The original President tree 
was grown from seed secured by us f:0m Bagdad, Florida; was grown 
in nursery, sold and sent out by us in an order for seedling pecan trees. 
Several years later our customer showed us samples of the nuts which 
were par excellence even off the young tree producing its first fruit. We 


have since kept close watch 
of the tree ana its b« havior.

Other Nut Trees. 


Japanese Walnuts. The only walnut that we can rec- 
ommend for the lower South. In 


appearance of foliage resembles other walnuts. Trees are of rapid 
growth, inclined to make low spreading head, but can be trained into 
almost any desired shape. Leaves are of immense size and a charm- 
ing shade of green, making a desirable yard or street tree. 


While all other types of walnuts when planted in the lower South 
die in a few years without any apparent cause other than lack of acclimi- 
tization, the Japanese thrives and produces abundant crops. The fruit 
is borne in great clusters, (see illustration), five- and six-year-old trees 
often producing from % to 1 bushel of nuts. It is a neglected tree, not 
receiving the attention from fruit growers and farmers that it should. 


Sieboldiana (Japanese) Walnut. 


Meats Easily Extracted. The shell of the-Japanese Wal- 
nuts are thicker than that of the California or English, yet by 
no means a hard nut to extract the meat from. By simply 
dropping the nuts into boiling water for a few minutes and 
cracking by a slight tap while hot the shell readily parts and 
kernel can be extracted whole. (See illustration.) The ease 
with which the kernels can be extracted whole render them 
very valuable for confectionery and other purposes where 
whole nut kernels are used. Trees are heavy and stocky with 
an abundance of fibrous roots which renders the transplant- 
ing as easy as apple or peach trees.

Cordiformis. Nt of a peculiar heart shape from whence it derives its 

name; kernel plump and full; excelling in flavor the

Japanese Mammoth Chestnut. Quite distinct from European varieties. Foliage 
long and narrow like the peach, of a beautiful dark green; makes a desirable 
lawn or yard tree. Bears young and abundantly. Nuts of enormous size, with

JAPANESE PERSIMMON (oesires 


A Japanese fruit that is slowly but surely working its way into popularity. The growing 
of Persimmons in the South, both for market and home consumption is not an experiment 
so far as the production of the fruit is concerned. There are but few markets, however, that 
will. at the present time, handle the fruit to good advantage, as the majority of the fruit- 
eating people have not learned to recognize the good quality of this most valuable luxury; 
on the markets, where it has been offered for several years past, the people have come to 
know its value and there is a demand for same at remunerative prices. Shipments have been 
made to England with good results. 

The Japanese Persimmon when grafted on the native Persimmon stock will grow on a 
wide range of soil in the South, and is adapted from Southern Florida to the Virginias; will 
grow well on light sandy soils and is better adapted for very poor land than any other fruit. 
Fruit for the market should be shipped just as it begins to mature, 
and directions as to how to eat should be printed on each wrapper, 
and fruit dealers should be instructed to display only the ripe fruit. 

Some of the varieties de- Pocecceee

PLUMS. 


Plum culture has been steadily increasing since the introduction 
of the Japanese type, and there are now many large orchards 
throughout the South that are proving very profitable. 

Ih the description we note the origin of the different varieties 
and make special note of those that we think are adapted to Flor- 
ida planting. All varieties listed are well adapted for Georgia, 
corresponding latitudes, and the States farther north, and should 
be more generally planted.

Florida, for whom it is named. This is probably a seedling of Excelsior. The 
tree is a strong, healthy grower, very similar in character of growth to Ex- 
celsior and also like Excelsior in that it is a heavy annual bearer. The fruit is 
of large size, 1% to 2 inches in diameter; nearly round, slightly ribbed at 
suture, terminating in blunt point. Color at maturity a beautiful reddish yel- 
low somewhat mottled, covered with purplish bloom; assumes a wine-red when 
fully ripe. Flesh greenish yellow, meaty, sweet, toned with sufficient acidity 
to give a fine flavor, juicy; quality excellent; pit very small; clingstone. We 
have no hesitancy in recommending the Terrell as one of the finest varieties, 
if not the finest variety, for all parts of Florida ‘and the Gulf coast country.”’

PEARS. 


For planting in Florida and other extreme Southern points, 
we only recommend Le Conte, Keiffer, Smith, Garber and Cincincis. 
Other sorts listed are adapted to some parts of all Southern States 
except Florida. As a rule Pears should never be allowed to ripen 
on the trees; pick them about grown and ripen in a dark, close place.

s 2 s New, originated at Fruitland Park, Fla., and first called 
Cincincis. to our attention by the late Major O. P. Rooks, of that 
place, who highly recommended it and pronounced it the best Pear for plant- 
ing in Southern Florida. A member of our Company saw a tree of this variety 
at Fruitland Park hanging full of beautiful fruit while other Pear trees in the 
same vicinity were practically barren. We have fruited this Pear in our own 
grounds for several years and found it to be all that Mt. Rooks claimed. The 
tree 1s a strong, vigorous grower, more exempt from blight than the Le Conte, 
and comes into bearing at an early age, usually producing fruit the fourth or 


fifth year after planting. Fruit is large, irregular in shape, color light green 
overspread with yellow and red; flesh juicy, brittle, somewhat of coarse grain, 
but of good quality. In point of quality is far superior to the famous Keiffer. 
Ripe in August and September. If picked when hard and placed in a dry, 
dark, close place, it mellows nicely and becomes very delicious. Very prolific 
and valuable fo1 canning, pickles and preserves. We can recommend this Peat

Le Conte. A yery rapid, vigorous grower; bears early. Fruit large, 


pale, lemon-yellow, occasionally showing a red cheek; fair 
quality. Bears transportation well, and is sold in market at good prices. 
Owing to the decrease in amount of damage from blight during past few years 
and high prices received for Pears shipped, many new orchards of Le Conte 
are being planted. 


Smith Uniformly large and perfect, very smooth and handsome, sim- 
© ilar in form and color to the Le Conte; melting and juicy, with 
smooth, creamy texture; ripens with or just ahead of the Le Conte. An early,

nothing identical with it, so it is known by the above local name. It is, beyond 
question, adapted to this climate, having borne uniformly heavy crops for many 
years past. The appearance of the tree is like those grown in any Northern

and dried. The best of its class for cider, being juicy and crisp, and is also 
by many considered a good eating Apple. Skin yellow, striped with red. Sep-

MULBERRIES. 


There is, perhaps no fruit in the South more neglected than 
the Everbearing Mulberry. Every farmer should have a grove of 
Merritt, Hicks’ and Downing’s Everbearing. They produce fruit 
four months in the spring and summer, and are just the thing for 
hogs and poultry. The acid varieties are esteemed by many for 
table use. Some fruit-growers plant Mulberries to attract birds 
from other more valuable fruits.

POMEGRANATES. 


bitdig Pomegranate thrives throughout the cotton belt. An old 
historical fruit, yet one of the South’s neglected resources. It has 
a far greater commercial value than is generally supposed. In all 


large cities where there is a foreign population hailing from the 
Mediterranian countries there is a demand for the fruit at good 
prices. It grows in form of a large shrub or small tree, very grace- 
ful in form and foliage, produces a profusion of strikingly brilliant 
and lovely scarlet flowers, desirable as a yard tree, and especially 
well suited to use in solid or mixed borders. Bears young, is pro- 
lific, and.the fruit possesses a fresh crispness, delicacy and sprightli- 
ness of flavor much esteemed by all who know it. It should be 
more generally planted. Would be found profitable commercially in 
a small way. One leading Alabama fruit grower planted over a 
thousand trees in 1906.

_ The Camphor Tree (Laurus Camphoria). The tree from which 
the camphor gum of commerce is made is not only a beautiful orna- 
mental tree for which purpose it has been used almost exclusively 
in the South in the past, but has a commercial value that is destined 
to rival that of the turpentine industry. Experiments are now 
being conducted by the Department of Agriculture looking to the 
establishment of the camphor gum industry in the South on a com- 
mercial basis. Complete reports and bulletins have not been pub- 
lished, but enough information has been given oyt to those closely 
interested to warrant the recommending of fared plantings of the 
trees for commercial purposes. 

One company who has one of the ex-government employees as 
its manager is clearing ordinary’ grade pine land and planting 3,000 
acres with camphor trees. 

» Camphor Gum is high, the only source of supply is Formosa, 
one of the Japanese possessions. Pure camphor gum is one of 
the principal ingredients of smokeless powder and as it is also 
used in the arts and trades making celluloid and: other similar 
goods, it has become a necessity. The first to have a grove 
of camphor will reap a rich reward. Start now with a few trees 
and add to it yearly, The industry will be on a commercial basis 
within a few years. . , 


GRAPES. 


The vine comes into bearing quickly, yielding fruit usually the 
second year after planting, requiring but little space, and, when 
properly trained, is an ornament to the yard, garden or vineyard. 
It is stated by some of the most eminent physiologists that among 
the fruits conducive to regularity, health and vigor in the human 
system, the Grape ranks first. We hope soon to see the day when 


. every family shall have an abundant supply of this most excellent 


fruit at least six months in the year. The soil for Grapes should 
be dry; when not so naturally, it should be thoroughly drained. 
It should be deeply worked and well manured.

MUSCADINE TYPE OF GRAPES. 


This free-growing species is the only one which is really a success so far 
South. It does fairly well in the tropics, and is by. far the best type of Grape 
for Florida and the Gulf coast, as it seldom fails to bear a heavy crop of de- 
licious fruit. It is the standby and a very welcome one; is free from all dis- 
eases and never decays. The product is very large and cultivation reduced to 
simplest form. Plant from 20 to 30 feet in a row; train on arbor or high 


trellis and never trim. 

Eden Berry very large, black, with delicate Thomas flavor; often 12 
® to 15 berries in a cluster. Its distinctive features are: early 

bearing, fine quality, enormous productiveness, growing in clusters, freedom 

from rot or disease, and adaptability to either table or wine purposes, coming 

in season immediately after the “bunch” Grapes are over, fills a long-felt want 

as a late table Grape.

there was not a Grape on exhibition to equal the James. It has.taken the 
premium wherever exhibited. We gathered three and one-half pounds per 
square yard on the average last season (1895), and as much as eleven pounds 
to the square yard in the thickest places. Berries very large, easily measuring 


1% inches in diameter.” 
Bunches composed of eight or ten berries, which 


Scuppernong. are very large, round and bronze-colored when

trees grown where there is sufficient danger from frost to necessitate the digging of the trees and placing in sheds, to be later protected 
by artificial heat, certainly do not carry with them to the planter as much vitality as trees dug fresh from the nursery rows. Artificial 
protection by high banking has been proven to be an injury, as the tops of highly banked trees are more susceptible to injury from 
frost than unbanked trees. The protection of nursery trees by open fires dries out the sap and reduces the vitality. These are facts 
that we have realized for a number of years and which, together with the spread of the dreaded White Fly, caused us to seek a loca- 
tion for growing our Citrus stock exempt from these two terrors to the grower of Citrus trees either in grove or nursery. . 

Our Citrus nurseries are located sufficiently far south on the famous Florida East Coast to make us safe from frost injury to the 
tenderest growth. All trees are dug fresh from the nursery for each order. 

The White Fly has never established itself in the counties in which our nurseries are located. The cost of producing good nursery 
stock is increasing along with the increased cost of production of other commodities, and there is no reason for cutting prices unless 
to unload undesirable trees either endangered by Frost, White Fly or other cause. 


Our Prices are as cheap as good trees with full quota of vitality can be grown and delivered to your station. Investigate the 
man offering cheap trees or cutting prices lest they be cheap trees in reality and not low prices for good trees.

(Synonyms, Onshin, Kit Seedless.) (Man.) Variety of the Mandarin fam- 
Satsuma. ily imported by Gen. Van Valkenburg, a former resident of Japan, under 
the mame of Onshiu, and has been called by some Kii Seedless. At the suggestion of Mrs. Van 
Valkenburg it was named Satsuma, which name it is generally known by now. It is extensively 
cultivated in the northern portion of Japan, where there is danger of frost; similar to the con- 
ditions found in Central and Northern Florida and Gulf coast sections of Alabama, Mississippi and 
Louisiana. It is the hardiest of all varieties of the Orange family and in a dormant condition 
will stand a temperature from 6 to 8 degrees lower than the standard Orange. ‘The fruit is me- 
dium size, flattened, inclined to be slightly conical in shape; color is reddish orange, but not red 
like King and Tangerine varieties; the rind and segments part freely; flesh fine grain, tender, juicy, 
sweet and delicious, with an exceptionally rich meaty flavor. Ripens in October and November, 
When budded on the Trifoljata it hardens its growth early and seldom shows signs of growth 
until late in the spring, thus reducing the danger of frost to a minimum. 

We consider the Satsuma decidedly the most money-making Orange for the central and north. 
ern portions of Florida, the Gulf coast section of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, suc: 
ceeding exceptionally well in the Mississippi Delta. The fruit on the market always brings 
fancy prices, ripening early, as it does, and really being sweet, it is not disappointing like soa 
mauy so-called early Oranges.

LEMONS. 


Commercial Lemon culture has been givey little attention in 
Florida. - In no country does the Lemon thrive better than in Flor- 
ida. There is no reason why Florida and the West India Islands 
should not produce a large proportion of the Lemons imported 
annually.

Imported by Gen. Sanford and considered one 


Villa Franca. of the very best for Florida culture; tree is ex- 


ceptionally vigorous, with few, if any, thorns. Very prolific, producing fruit 
at an early age. Fruit medium size, rind smooth and sweet, juicy, with strong 


acid of fine quality. 

Genoa (Known in California as Eureka.) A variety imported into 
© California from Genoa, Italy. It is an early bearer, and in 

favorable seasons produces fruit almost the entire year. Fruit is of best 

quality; a profitable market Lemon. 


LIMES. 


The Lime is tenderer than either the Orange, Pomelo or 
Lemon, and should only be planted in “outh Florida or the 
Islands. The use of Limes in preference “ the Lemons for sum- 
mer drinks is becoming more general, the demand far exceeding 
the supply. 


PRICES FOR LIME TREES SAME AS FOR 
ORANGE, POMELO AND LEMON TREES, 


Native Florida (Native.) We have this variety budded from 


one of the largest and best Native Limes we 
have ever seen, and we believe it will give better satisfaction in most cases 
than any of the larger imported sorts. Very prolific; bears full at two years 
old, and is a handsome, smooth, well colored fruit, and very juicy.

have raised a block of Seedlings from selected fruit at our Miami Nursery,

young and prolifically. ‘The trees usually come true to the parent.

KUMQUATS. 


Sometimes called the “Kin Kan Orange.” Imported from Japan, where 
it withstands more cold than the Asiatic Orange. Tree of dwarfish habit, 
beautiful compact head, fine foliage; when in fruit very handsome. Fruits 
in clusters; is eaten from the hand without removing the skin ; fine and 
much sought for jams, preserves and pickles. Everyone in Florida or any 
of the Gulf States should possess some trees of this novel Orange. Can 
easily be protected from frosts by covering, being of low compact growth. 
It is also especially adapted for plantiag in tubs for the conservatory or 
window garden.

CITRUS TRIFOLIATA 


A hardy species of Lemon that withstands a cold of zero. Thrives 
throughout the South; valuable as a stock for the Orange, Grapefruit, 
Kumquat, etc. Very desirable for hedges. Its abundance of strong, sharp 
thorns makes a hedge fence impregnable to either man or beast. A nov-

QUICK RETURNS, SURE RETURNS 


AN AGRE UF FIGS AND PECANS vastine returns, pic RETURNS 


About 100 Fig trees can be planted between the Pecan rows on an acre of Pecan orchard planted 40 feet apart. 
The Fig trees should be set 13 1-3 feet apart in rows in the middle of the 40-feet space between the Pecan trees, 
_ running each way through the orchard. 


WHAT RETURNS WILL 100 FIG TREES YIELD? LET’S FIGURE 


In 30 months from planting, Fig trees that have been well cared for should yield a peck of Figs per tree, enough 
for a dozen 1-pound cans of canned figs, worth at wholesale from $1.50 to $1.75 per dozen in tin, and from $2.00 to 
$2.25 in glass. The cost of canning, even in a small way, would not exceed 50c. per dozen in tin, or 75c. to 85c. in 
glass—a net income of from $1.00 to $1.50 per tree, or $100.00 to $150.00 per acre, for the fresh fruit, all within 30 
months from time of planting. The trees should double the yield for next two years, and thereafter produce from one 
bushel to two bushels per tree according to seasons. Wn basis of one bushel per tree the earning would be $400.00 to 
$600.00 per acre. 

The fruit ripens over a long period, making the handling, where help is scarce and with a small canning outfit, 
practical. Any one of the several highly advertised home canning outfits is all that would be required. 

For yield and income from an acre of Pecans see pages 6 and 7. Put the two together, and you will see that 
one acre of combined Fig and Pecan grove is worth more than a one-horse farm.

Ho is W 2 where the good wife spends ninety per cent. (90%) of her time; where the children are 
meas here We Live, reared, and where the men folks spend, or should spend, their nights and Sundays. Home 


life, home surroundings, do more to mould the minds and tastes of the young than any other single item. This being true, home should 
be the most sacred spot on earth. No pains should be spared to make it comfortable, pleasant and attractive. 


Parents Weep and Wonder Why their boys and girls leave home so young. In some cases nothing would prevent 
it, but in a majority of cases it is lack of love for the home, not for the parents, 


but for the home. It may be comfortable, it may be as pleasant as love and kindness can make it. But is it attractive? Is there pleas- 
ant shade, a lawn and fresh, attractive trees, shrubs and vines, to absorb the sun’s rays and make it cool, pleasant and inviting? Are there 
flowering shrubs, vines and a rose garden to lend brightness and cheerfulness evenings and cloudy days, and to decorate the dining 
table, the sitting or living room? A home without these is not a home in reality. It may be a fine house with a fence around it, yet is 
merely a shelter to keep off the cold and rain and a protection against beasts and vermin. It is not a home that attracts either the 
stranger or the young. 

The Best Investment a Home Owner Can Make is in a judiciously selected order for shade trees, 
shrubs and plants to embellish and beautify the home, 
no matter how humble and plain it may be. There is no other kind of improvement where a little money goes so far and adds so much real 
value in a few years.

THE SELECTION AND ARRANGEMENT 


OF ORNAMENTAL TREES AND SHRUBS FOR THE HOME GROUND 


In selecting and arranging ornamental trees and shrubbery, the character and style of growth of each tree and plant should 

| be noted and considered. ‘Lhe larger and more rapid growing kinds should be planted sufficient distance apart and from buildings 

to prevent crowding and growing into unshapely forms. Deciduous and Evergreen Shade Trees should be interspersed so that you 

| will get benefit of the additional shade in summer and sun and light in winter, but with Evergreen Trees so placed that the yard 

; or grounds will not look bare and skinny when leaves are off the deciduous kinds. Small trees and shrubs are best grouped in 

e. open spaces between the larger growing kinds in corners and near buildings. Conifers and small growing evergreen trees, especially 
} those adapted to shaping into fancy heads, can be utilized to advantage either singly or in groups of two or three each. 

Conform to nature as closely as conditions will allow, avoid straight rows and square setting unless for street planting, and 
occasionally, for hedges, borders and avenues. Graceful curves winding between the larger growing specimens is more pleasing 
and artistic than straight drives, walks and rows. ‘The latter gives a stiffness to the yard that lacks the beauty and gracefulness 
of the well-rounded curves. We want our grounds to bear the appearance of nature’sehandiwork, and that our part is to keep them 
| clean, neat and tidy. 

IF IN DOUBT AS TO ARRANGEMENT AND KINDS OF TREES AND SHRUBS TO PLANT, WE ARE 
ALWAYS GLAD TO GIVE THE BENEFIT OF OUR EXPERIENCE AND TO ASSIST IN BOTH SELEC- 
TION AND ARRANGEMENT. 


To customers desiring our assistance, sending us amount of money they wish to expend with their order, together with a 
rough diagram giving dimensions of yard or grounds and showing location of buildings and trees already planted, if any; also | 
gates,and entrances, walks and drives—if latter have been laid out, together with as full details as possible, and suggestions as to | 
some of the trees they would like, we will prepare landscape plans, showing position of all trees, plants and vines, and send with 
the order. 

We have one of the largest stocks of hardy, acclim>xted Ornamental Trees and Plants in the South, which is being added to 
yearly as tests show the adaptability of new sorts. With our stock of trees and knowledgé from years of experience we can please 
you. Information relative to care, pruning, etc. furnished for the asking. All questions cheerfully answered to best of our ability.

Do not confuse our 
Bushes and Prices 
with those of Pot-grown 
Plants that are not in the 
same class. 


Selection of Varie- 

ty ties that wil prove most 

ae satisfactory in your lo- 
oa 


bee cality often puzzles the pur- 
chaser. If at all undecided, let 
us make the selection for you. We know the varieties and their range of 
adaptability, and in most cases will make a selection that will give better 
results than one made by the purchaser. State color desired and whether 


bush or climbing sorts are wanted. 


Classifications. T° enable our patrons to easily select the 
class of Roses they desire, we have divided 


our list into three general lists which, for the South, could be thus classed: 
Everblooming, including the varieties that are almost constantly 
in bloom; Semi-annual Blooming, including the varieties which 


bloom largely during the spring and autumn, and Climbing Roses, - 


which include the varieties, the character of the growth of which adapts 
them for planting where they can be trained to run on verandas, summer 
houses, ete 


Roses are further divided into several classes, strains or families, each 
having distinct characteristics of its own. To those who are desirous of 
knowing the class to which each variety belongs, the abbreviations given 
in the description, showing this, will be of interest. - 


Although loved and admired by all, yet many people do not realize how 
easily this, the Queen of Flowers, may be grown, nor the delightful returns 
from a little outlay of money and labor. There is no secret about Rose grow- 
ing if strong field-grown bushes of varieties adapted to your locality are selected.

“ 


The Record Co. St. Augustine, Fla, 


A NEW PEAR. 
What Shall We Name It? The most 


promis- 
ing acquisition in fruits introduced in many years. 
Perfect in outline, regular and uniform in shape 
and size; dark golden russet, slightly tinged with 


red; slight core; regular and prolific bearer, 

The variety originated in South Georgia. Buds from original tree were 
sent to us with sample of fruit for testing about, eight years ago. A few trees 
were grown from the buds and planted in our test orchards. In 1905 there 
were a few specimens, and in 1906 a fair crop for young trees. This summer, 
1907, all the trees bore a heavy crop notwithstanding the general shortage in 
the fruit crop, especially in Pears. The trees were planted near Le Conte, 
Keiffer and other varieties of Pears, nearly all of which have succumbed 
from blight. Not a blighted limb or twig is to be found on any of these trees. 

Fruit large size, measuring 444 to 4% inches in length and 2% to 234 
across; shape oblong, tapering gracefully from middle with full, plump, 
rounded ends; skin tough and firm; color dark golden russet with a slight 
tinge of red. Very attractive and showy. Flesh clear white, crisp, tender 
and good. Mellows eavenly, and is especially desirable for slicing and eating 
with cream and sugar, same as peaches. Cooks quickly, holding together 
well. Slight core; few seed. 

The most desirable ail-around Pear we have ever seen 
frown in the South. 

The best point of all--It bears when others fail. 


$50.00 and a Dozen Trees for a Name. 


WE ARE GOING TO LET OUR CUSTOMERS NAME IT. Each customer ordering $5.00 worth of trees or plants 
from this Catalog, and who will send us 10 or more names and addresses of friends or neighbors, who will likely want to buy trees or 
plants, will be entitled to suggest a name for this new Pear. To the one suggesting the name selected we will pay $25.00 in 
cash and allow him or her to select $25.00 worth of trees or plants from our 1909 Catalog, which we will send together with one 
dozen Pear trees of the new variety free of all charges. Name must be one word with not to exceed 10 letters. Foreign names, if 
easily spelled and pronounced, are admissible. 

Contest open until July 1, 1908.
