WHAT TO PLANT AND WHERE.

EFORE making out your order for your trees, and shrubs, and flowers, you

B should determine where they are to be planted—what purpose they are

accomplish in the beautifying of your home grounds. Don’t get into thc
common error of ordering something because the description pleases you, or beca~-e
someone has told you it is a good thing to have. It will not prove to be a good h ne
unless you have the proper setting for it.

Those who are beginning at the beginning, who have merely a bare piece of
ground with a house on it to start with, should make a definite plan and draw it
on paper, indicating the leading features thereon. Avoid as you would the plague
the too common practice of scattering trees and shrubs promiscuously about ‘he
place. That may be a good way to plant a nursery, but it is not a good |
adorn a home.

The working out of your plan should result in a picture, in which the house
should be the central idea, with a broad expanse of greensward for a foreground,
and a frame of trees, shrubs and flowers at the sides. The observer of such a
planting, or landscape, would exclaim, “What a beautiful home!” But cn the
nursery style, his only comment would probably be, “What a i lilac bush!” if there
happened to be a fine lilac bush near him.

You ask what kinds of the trees and fruits and flowers recommended by us
you should plant in order to make your home picture? That is a secondary matter,
to be decided by your personal preference. The arrangement of what you plant is
far more important than the kind. So, in making your selections, remember these
fundamental principles: Keep the center of your place open; set your shade trees
at the corners and at suitable intervals along the sides; in selecting trees choose
kinds whose size and habit of growth are most suitable for your premises, remem-
bering that those of relatively low growth are better adapted for small places, and
that trees that will do well for lining streets may be out of place in yards and lawns.
Plant your shrubs in irregular masses of from three to eight each, between the
trees, at the corners of the house and where they will screen unsightly buildings.
Plant flowers in front of the porch, in the corner by the steps, and in front of the
shrubs, and use them to hide bare foundations. Flowers always look their best
when growing against a background of foliage. Never put a flower bed in the
middle of your lawn. If you wish to grow flowers in quantities for house decora-
tion, or other purposes, grow them in a border three or four feet wide along a rear
fence. This is the place for Larkspurs, Hollyhocks, Dahlias, Columbines, Phlox,
Shasta Daisies, Gladioli, etc. Call this an “old-fashioned” garden, if you will; all the
same, everybody likes it. Such flowers are easy to plant, easy to keep in order—a
whole lot easier all ’round than digging a hideous Geranium bed in the midst of
your lawn and spoiling that.

A careful survey and study of your premises, bearing these suggestions in mind,
will help you to decide intelligently as to the number and character of trees, shrubs
and flowering plants you will need to carry out your idea of making your home
surroundings attractive. Should you desire expert advice on any point, however,
do not hesitate to write us and we will reply promptly. And we will send you, on
receipt of your order, full, plainly worded cultural directions for everything you buy.

WHY SOUTHERN GROWN STOCK SURPASSES

_having their best stock grown for them in the mountain sections of the South?

Thousands of acres in Eastern Tennessee, Northern Alabama and Western

North Carolina are planted with fruit trees, shade trees, roses, shrubs and hardy

perennials, for the purpose of meeting the demands of the planting public everywhere
for better and more vigorous stock.

D: YOU KNOW that leading Northern Nurserymen and Plant Dealers are now

There’s a recent reason for this—recent, because only during the past few years
has the fact become known that the peculiar rich, red soil, the long growing season,
the congenial climatic conditions which prevail here uniformly, produce the lustiest,
thriftiest, hardiest trees, shrubs and plants in all the world.

Such stock is, of course, is the kind every planter wants, and will get, if he pos-
sibly can.

But why buy it second-hand? Why not get it right from headquarters? Our
Chattanooga nurseries and planting grounds are located in the mountains of East Ten-
nessee and North Georgia—in the most favorable sections of the South, and the trees
and plants we send our customers are chock full of vim and vitality, bristling with
hungry, fibrous roots and ready for a quick riot of foliage, flowers and fruits.

Those who desire to make their home grounds more beautiful and more valuable,
whether located in city, town or country, will find ample and dependable material for
the purpose in the carefully selected list of roses, plants, shrubs and trees offered in
this little catalogue.

They are listed by their common every-day names, and especial care has been
taken to recommend only such sorts as are sure to thrive, and bloom, and fruit, and
satisfy under the simplest culture,

Many people either do not know or do not realize that a few dollars invested in
the right kind of “growing things” will in a few months transform a barren yard or
place into a permanent paradise that will not only delight the eye and furnish unlim-
ited quantities of rare and beautiful flowers, but will increase the actual cash value
of the property by hundreds of dollars—by a hundredfold the small amount it
takes to do the planting.

We send free to our customers, instruction circulars telling exactly how to plant
and care for everything they order from us. We also take pleasure in answering any
questions our customers may wish to ask, and in giving advice as to the most suitable
material for any planting scheme. All you have to do is to write us and tell us your
needs and desires.

ROSE DEPARTMENT

Our roses differ from those offered by most dealers, because they are acclimated.
They have been grown out of doors in our famous red soil, and only those plants that
are sturdy and vigorous are selected for shipment. These are carefully dug and the
roots wrapped in moss and burlap, so they are certain to bear transportation without
injury, and when planted, to establish themselves quickly and be ready in a short
time for a wealth of bloom.

We list only such kinds as are of real value in American gardens—that have
proved their worth under our trying climatic conditions.

We have every confidence that our customers will be delighted with these
Roses, and are absolutely certain that such thrifty, healthy, sure-to-succeed plants
cannot be purchased elsewhere for the remarkably reasonable prices quoted.

Bear in mind that our mountain-grown, fully-established Roses are infinitely
superior to the disappointing, usually worthless, cheap stock sent by mail—half-
rooted, spindling cuttings, of which few even survive—and to the even cheaper
“dormant” roots, most of which remain dormant for good, and are dear at any price.

NOTE THESE PRICES.

Any Rose listed, from 4-inch pots,- - - - - - - - - - - 25¢
Any ten Roses, buyer’s selection, - - - - - - - - - - - $2.00
‘Ten Rosés: ioursselection; te" = + {3229 = = = = 5

Our Roses may be planted, according to locality, any time from October 15th to
April 15th, that weather conditions will permit. Better results may be expected if the
plants are given some protection during the winter from sudden changes of tempetature.

Complete cultural directions sent free. immediately on receipt of order, so ground
may be properly prepared for planting by the time the Roses arrive.

14 SUPERB SHADE TREES.

Our nursery-grown trees have been transplanted frequently, and are therefore
especially vigorous and stocky, with an abundance of roots, making them sure to
grow rapidly. They cost, set out, little if any more than forest-grown trees, a
large percentage of which always fail to survive transplanting.

November, in the South, is the best and surest month of the year for tree plant-
ing, though the kind of stock we furnish will succeed anywhere if planted in Spring.
Full directions for planting, pruning and cultivating sent with every order.

Our Ash, Catalpa, Locust, Maple and Poplar trees are from 8 to Io feet high;
the Elms, Lindens and Tulip trees, from 6 to 8 feet high; the Persimmon,
Umbrella trees and Weeping Mulberries, from 4 to 6 feet high, and the Double
Flowering Crabs, Sweet Gums, and Magnolias from 2% to 3 feet high. Experience
has shown these sizes to be the safest and surest to grow. Larger specimens can be
furnished, however, and if desired, write us for description and prices.

TREE FRUIT DEPARTMENT.
PEACHES.

To be successful with a Peach orchard, thorough pruning and spraying are
necessary. In one of our orchards of 20,000 trees, producing a crop of 33,000 crates,
not one bushel of wormy peaches was found. No one should plant peach trees un-
less they expect to spend time and money to develop the orchard. Too many people

buy fruit trees, plant them and turn the calves loose among them. In a few years
they have a lot of knotty, scrubby trees, and as a result they blame the nursery for
sending them poor trees, forgetting that the trees were not calf-proof.

All over the country, orchards are coming into bearing every year from trees
bought of the Chattanooga Nurseries. The old true saying, “Be sure you’re right,
then go ahead,”-should be applied when buying nursery stock.. Be sure you get
healthy trees and true to name. To be disappointed in varieties after waiting for
the trees to come into bearing, is a most disheartening and maddening experience.

We give special attention to the growing of Peach trees, and have one of the
largest and finest stocks in the United States. In the mountain regions, where our
nurseries are located, scale, root knot and peach yellows are unknown, and the
red, iron-impregnated soil gives all our fruit trees a vigor and hardiness that can
not be equaled elsewhere.

SMALL FRUIT DEPARTMENT.

GRAPES.

The Grape is not only one of the most healthful and delightful of all fruits,
but it can be grown successfully by anyone who has a garden, a yard or a wall.
Grape vines can be confined to a stake, fastened to,a trellis, trained over an arbor,

or even used to cover up trees and buildings. While most satisfactory results may
be obtained from the culture of Grapes under favorable conditions, they are very
likely to prove disappointing under poor culture or neglect. Good results from
Grape vines can be had only by close attention and forethought. They must have
a warm soil and a sunny exposure. The distance between vines should vary accord-
ing to the growth of the variety and method of training. Small growing sorts may
be set as closely as 8 feet or so, but 10 feet apart is desirable for most kinds.

As a result of the favoring conditions under which our stock is grown it is excep-
tionally robust and well provided with heavy roots. The past season gave an unusu-
ally long growing period, and all stock entered the Winter mature and well-ripened.
There was also a freedom from insect pests that insure the highest vigor. Our stock is of
course Officially inspected, and provided with certificate. We are confident that it will
bear comparison with the best you have ever purchased. Any buyer who is willing to
devote intelligence and industry to the culture of Grapes and other small fruits, whether
for home or markets, should start right. The first step is the selection of high-grade
stock. We supply it, and if he wants information as well as plants, our knowledge and
experience are at his service.

Grape vines are subject to mildew, anthracnose and black rot, this disease being
mos troublesome on vines that have been weakened from over-bearing. When
present, fallen leaves and imperfect fruit should be destroyed and the vines thor-
oughly sprayed with Bordeaux Mixture.

CAMPBELL’S EARLY. Black, with
purple bloom; large perfect clusters and
berries; rich, sweet flavor; an admirable
fruiter and shipper.

CONCORD. Bunches and berries very
large; color, blue-black; thin skin; flesh
sweet, pulpy and tender. Very vigorous
and prolific.

NIAGARA. °§ Good sized, compact
bunches of pale, yellowish-green Grapes ;

for vineyards. A strong, healthy variety.

Southern-Grown Small Fruits 15

STRAWBERRIES.

We receive every season many letters asking the best time to plant Strawberries.
In East Tennessee, North Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Kentucky, the Carolinas,
and sections north of this territory, the best time to plant is in the Spring of the
year. South of the section mentioned, planting may be done in September and
October and a crop insured the following season. In the vicinity of Chattanooga
we usually start planting in February and continue up until the first of April.

Any good, well-drained soil that will grow corn, wheat or potatoes, will grow
good Strawberries. An eastern or southern exposure is best, especially if early fruit
is desired.

Most people make the mistake of planting too many varieties. For early berries
plant Excelsior; for medium, Bubach and Klondyke; for late, Gandy. These are
enough. In some sections, however, the varieties named do not succeed as well as
they do here, so it may be well for a beginner to consult some local grower as to the

best kinds for his locality.

The following varieties are specially recommended:

EXCELSIOR. The earliest variety of
any special merit. Very popular in the
extreme South; having conical, dark,
rich, firm fruit. Is prolific and a good
shipper.

BUBACH. Fruit uniformly large and
handsome; shape, conical; color, bright
scarlet; flesh firm and of good quality.
A valuable home sort.

KLONDYKE. This variety origin-
ated in the South and is extremely popu-
lar throughout this section. Has large-
sized berries, rich, high color, and firm,
juicy flesh. One of the best shippers.

LADY THOMPSON. No other
Strawberry ever had such a run in the
South. Plant is strong, healthy, vigor-
ous and very productive. Berries large,
richly colored and perfectly formed.

AROMA. A popular leading variety,
very productive, bearing - firm, wine-
colored fruit, and is an excellent shipper.
Quality extra fine.

GANDY. A standard leading variety
everywhere. Does best on stiff soil. Is
of good size and color and of exception-
ally fine flavor. Good both for the home
garden and as a market variety.

RASPBERRIES.

Red Raspberries succeed in almost all soils, -but do better in light loam than in
heavy clay Clayey soil suits the Black Caps better than the sandy soil.
Raspberries should be planted 4 or 5 feet apart in the row. The shoots sent out

one season bear fruit and die the following year.

Spraying with Bordeaux Mixture

will prevent fungus diseases, of which anthracnose is the most common.

; S. T. Litre, Arkansas.

A FEW IMPORTANT SUGGESTIONS.

ORDER EARLY.—Don’t wait until it is time to plant. There is much to be
done before planting if you wish to be entirely successful. On receipt of your
order, we will send you, by return mail, full printed directions for growing every-
thing you buy of us. We will tell you just how to prepare the soil, how and where
to set the plants, how to cultivate them, how to keep them free from insects and
disease; in short, how to insure success. While you are getting ready, we are
getting the plants ready—getting them in the best possible condition—and we do
our best to have them reach customers at the most favorable time for setting out;
but this, of course, is not possible if orders are delayed until the last moment. “So
we repeat, ORDER EARLY.

THE PLANTING SEASON.—In the South, planting, according to varieties
and locality, may be done almost any time between October 15th and March 15th.
Pot-grown plants can be sent and planted with safety until May 15th. As a rule,
to which there are very few exceptions, trees, and those plants, bulbs and shrubs
which bloom in the Spring, should be planted in the Fall, either Nerth or South.
Summer and Autumn bloomers should be planted in the late Winter or early
Spring. More explicit directions are given in the lists of varieties.

YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.— Always write your full name plainly on the
order sheet, giving your post office address (Town, County and State) and your
nearest express office. Do this every time you write. |

TERMS.—While we prefer that cash accompany each order, our confidence in
the superior merit of our plants, shrubs and trees is such that we are willing to
ship orders to anyone who will give good commercial reference, with the under-
standing that payment is to be made promptly after inspection has satisfied the
purchaser that everything is exactly as represented.

HOW TO SEND MONEY.—Post office or express money orders, or checks
(exchange) on Chattanooga or New York banks, are the safest ways, and money
may be sent by either of these methods at our risk.

PRICES.—Vigorous, thrifty, sure-to-grow plants, such as we send out, cannct
be scld for less than the prices we quote. Our invariable rule is “a square deal
and your full money’s worth,’—not how many spindling plants we can offer for
a dollar, regardless of whether they grow or not after planting. We make no charge
for packing. So when you consider our prices, bear in mind that they are for the
very best and thriftiest plants it is possible to grow, and that they include packing
and delivery in first-class condition to the express company.

ERRORS.—We use the utmost care in filling orders, and always include extra
plants, but during the rush season errors occasionally occur, and these we cheer-
fully and promptly srectify if notified within five days after receipt of order. So
keep a copy of your order and write us at once if anything is wrong.

GUARANTEE.—We guarantee all plants, bulbs, shrubs and trees bought of us
to be healthy, vigorous and true to name, and furnish with each shipment health
certificate from the State Entomologist; but we cannot assume responsibility in the
event of failure to succeed after planting, as it is manifestly impossible for us to
insure favorable weather, suitable soil, proper culture, or any other conditicn neces-
sary to success.

Chattanooga bank, or the R. G. Dun Mercantile Agency.

INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES.

The“‘most effective way to'destroy injurious insects and abolish fungous diseases
is to use various sprays~S-lhére’ aie two types of insecticides—those which kill by

poisoning and those which kill by* destroying the insect.
Of- the ldtter, ‘Coal Oil Emulsion.

The best general fungicide is

Ammoniacal Copper solution, as it does not discolor the foliage like the Bordeaux

Mixture.

PARIS GREEN. For insects which
chew. Paris Green, 4 ounces; water,
50 to 75 gallons. If this mixture is to
be used upon peach or other fruit trees,
1 pound of quicklime should be added.
Paris Green and Bordeaux Mixture can
be applied together with perfect safety.
Use at the rate of 4 ounccs of the former
to 50 gallons of the mixture.

COAL OIL EMULSION. Hard soap,
1% pound; boiling water, 1 gallon; coal
oil, 2 gallons. Dissolve the soap in the
water, pour in the coal oil and churn or
beat together briskly with a paddle for at
least ten minutes. Dilute ten to twenty-
five times before applying. Use it strong
for scale insects. Coal Oil Emulsion de-
stroys insects which suck, as plant lice,
mealy bugs, red spiders, thrips and scale.
Tt will also kill cabbage worms, cater-
pillars and all insects with soft bodies.

BORDEAUX MIXTURE. For rot,
molds, mildew and fungous diseases.
Sulphate of copper, 6 pounds; quick-
lime, 4 pounds; water 40 to 50 gallons.

equal quantity of water, then mix the
two and add enough water to make 4o

used on peach trees, it is advisable to
add an extra pound of lime.

strength) to dissolve the copper; water,
9 gallons. This Ammoniacal Copper So-

it will keep indefinitely, and may be di-
luted with water when desired for use.
