Forty-six years ago the Rosedale Nurseries were established in Columbus, Mis-
sissippi, by the late J . J. Colmant. In connection with the nurseries large orchards
and vineyards were maintained, choice fruits being shipped to the principal cities
of the South. Eighteen years ago the nurseries were removed to the Birmingham
district, since which time a successful business has been carried on
Owing to the large increase in our business we have recently purchased a.
tract of acreage at Westover, on the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad, on
which all varieties of hardy trees, plants, shrubs, etc., will be grown and shipped
in car load lots to our nurseries at West End, Birmingham, Ala. Our nurseries at
Colmant Station, West End, will be maintained in the capacity of a show ground.
Hundreds of varieties of ornamental trees, plants, etc., will be grown (necessarily
in small quantities, owing to lack of space) for the benefit of customers who visit
our place at all seasons and wish to see the different varieties of plants, etc.,
growing and in blossom.
This season we have one of the largest and most complete assortments of
nursery stock that we have ever offered to the trade and cordially invite our
patrons to make an inspection of our nurseries. Address all communications to

Hints on Planting
November and December are the best months in which to plant all hardy trees and plants,
such as fruit trees, shade trees, evergreens, grapevines, strawberry plants; all hardy bulbs, such as
hyacinths, tulips, narcissus, lilies, etc; all hardy shrubs, roses included, though the latter should
have a mulch of about two inches of well-rotted manure or some other light material put over
their roots to prevent severe freezing from penetrating the ground.
A tree or hardy shrub or vine planted during the above months will make roots during the
winter in our climate, and is ready to grow off even in a dry spring, and will make far better
growth than if planted in February and March. If all who intend to plant could be convinced
of this, there would be less failure, provided a suitable preparation of the ground has been made.
Deep plowing or spading and liberal manuring are the basis of success.
We give the following short hints on planting, which we have advocated for many years,
and if followed, failure will be rare and must be attributed to some other cause, such as insects,
soggy soil or mechanical injury:
Enrich the land: poor land will produce poor fruit and poor flowers.
Always choose the highest ground for the orchard. If the land is rolling, give peaches the
highest part of it.
Dig a hole two or more feet wide and one or more feet deep, mixing wtih the soil, which is
to be returned in planting, a bushel of woodsmold, or one-half bushel of well-decomposed
manure.
Plant standard trees, so that the top roots are about three inches below the level of the
ground.
A tree planted too deep will not thrive.
Cut back one-year-old standard apple, pear and peach trees to two and one-half feet, and
cut off every side limb, and when the shoots have grown an inch or two m the spring, rub
off all except the three upper ones; these will form the head of the future tree.
All bruised or broken roots should be cut smooth.
Two or three-year-old trees should have their branches cut back to about one-half of their
length.
To face the stem of the tree in the same direction as it stood in the nursery is of no value
whatever.
Though we can plant from November to March, November and December planting will
give the trees a better start in the spring.
Always bear in mind that an orchard requires good care and attention, but when that is
given, the orchard is one of the most valuable additions to the farm.
Pigs and poultry will thrive in an orchard; they will eat the fallen fruit and thus destroy
the curculio and coddling moth.
Plant standard apple, pear and peach trees twenty feet apart each way in the orchard:
cherry and plum trees, fifteen feet; grape-vines, ten feet.
Strawberries are planted for family use in the garden, in rows two feet apart, and about
one foot in the row; for market purposes, plant in rows three to four feet apart, and fifteen
to eighteen inches in the rows. Always keep free from grass and weeds.

We add to the above hints the following:
See to it that the trees or plants which you receive from the nursery have their roots in
a moist condition; if they are dry, refuse to receive them, but if you find they are in the proper
condition keep them so, and do not blame the nurseryman if the roots become dry when in
your possession. Remember that a plant is a living body, and if out of the ground is like a fish
out of water, and it is then a question of time as to the amount of injury it will receive.
Hence the holes in which to plant should be made ready when the order for the plants is sent;
but this it not all. As soon as the trees or shrubs arrive their roots must be put in trenches
in the ground and watered, and only taken out one by one as they are wanted, or if there are
but few plants, their roots should be watered and covered with wet bagging, and only taken
out one by one as they are wanted for planting. If, when the trees arrive, the soil is too wet
for planting, they can be kept in the trench until the ground is in good condition.
Always surround the roots with friable soil, and after the tree or bush is in position, press
the soil firmly around the roots and give a good watering.
Injurious Insects and • ungus Diseases.
Insects and fungi are destructive to trees and fruits. Every fruit grower should have a
spraying apparatus.
Correspondents should sign their names in full, giving also names of postoffice, county
and state.
State also if trees are to be shipped by freight or express.
Packages not exceeding fifty pounds are best sent by express.
We charge for packing just enough to cover cost of material used, which is, say 25 cents
for every $5.00 worth of trees and plants.
We guarantee that all our stock shall leave the nurseries in the best condition; but after
the goods have been delivered to the forwarding agents, they are at the risk of the purchaser,
and forwarders alone must be held responsible for delay or loss of goods.
We do not ship plants and trees by mail.
Send orders in early; it will facilitate our business and enable us to furnish all varieties
contained in the catalogue before they are exhausted. We do not substitute unless instructed
to do so.
We commence shipping early in November.
We have made it a rule not to ship nursery stock until the money for the same has been
received, and to avoid unnecessary delay, the amount for trees and plants, including charges for
packing, should be sent by postoffice money order or express money order on Birmingham, Ala.
When orders cannot be procured, send money in registered letter. We cannot conduct our
business on a credit system.
It is our interest and our pride to have all trees and plants leave our nurseries true to
name and in the best condition, but we assume no responsibility whatever if failures arise
from defective planting or from subsequent faulty treatment and cultivation.
If, in spite of our care and precaution, any tree should prove untrue to label, we will, on
proof, either return the money paid to us for them, or replace the trees free of charge. And
it is hereby mutually agreed and understood between the purchaser and ourselves that in no
case can we be held liable for any greater amount of money than originally paid to us by the
purchaser.
Our out-door grown roses this year are fine; this is one of our specialties. You have our
experience in the varieties that do well in our climate.

FRUIT DEPARTMENT
APPLES
The summer and fall varieties in the catalogue seldom fail to produce a paying crop if
planted in good soil. The winter varieties are mostly of southern origin, and will, in suit-
able localities, produce good keeping apples. Time and money are wasted if winter apples of
northern or European origin are planted south of 34 degrees latitude.

GRAPES
City and suburban home grounds may be greatly improved at small expense by planting
a few grapevines. Grapes are an almost never-failing crop, for if the first crop should be killed,
new shoots immediately begin to grow which will bear an average crop of medium-size
bunches.
The greatest fault that can be found with grapevines is that they will over-bear. This results
from not pruning each year.
Prune vines well each year during December or the early part of January. Cut each
runner of the previous season’s growth back to three or four “eyes” or “joints.”
A simple and inexpensive trellis can be made by stretching two wires on posts twelve to
fifteen feet apart.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
The "City Beautiful" figures prominently in the country today, but it cannot
be perfected without the co-operation of the citizen, in beautifying his own part of
the city.
A home is not complete or attractive without the surrounding grounds or yard
arranged in artistic order, in comparison with rhe house, location and size of prop-
erty.
It is, therefore, necessary to have one's grounds improved, either to suit his
own taste or to the knowledge and ability of the landscape architect.
One of the branch departments of our business is the landscape department,
in which we furnish plans and estimates on any size job.
All trees, plants, shrubbery, etc., used in any of our work are carefully selected
which are best adapted to that climate and soil in which they are to be used.

ing, they will become hardened when estab-
lished. Trees in this latitude grow from 40
to 60 feet high and produce immense quan-
tities of large white blossoms of a rich, pecu-
liar fragrance. All foliage should be removed
when trees are transplanted.

HEDGE PLANTS
The growing demand for hardy hedge
plants year after year is enormous, both for
the evergreen varieties and the deciduous
dowering plants as the ALTHEA. But after
taking everything in consideration the most
popular and satisfactory hedge for the South
is the Ligustrm Amurense or Amoor River
Privet, as it is called. This hedge is a per-
fect evergreen, standing our most severe win-
ters without the least injury to the foliage.
Both the Amoor River and and California
Privet, when transplanted, should be cut
back within 12 to 18 inches of the ground.
This insures a thick, leafy growth near the
ground, so essential in evenly trimmed
hedges. This season we have as fine a lot
of hedge plants as could be desired. Write
or ’phone for prices on larger quantities than
quoted in catalog.

low as two feet or permitted to grow ten or
twelve feet high, and will appear equally as
well.
Price: One-year branched (cut back to 12
inches), per 10, 50c; per 100, $4; per 1,000,
$30; 2-year, thick, bushy plants, 3 to 4 feet
high, the best size for planting (cut back

ROSES
To all who are familiar with hardy, open ground roses the following list speaks for itself.
Each year we try new varieties that are introduced, and sell only plants on our own recom-
mendation; therefore, saving our customers the time and cost of experimenting.
This season our roses have made finer growth than ever before, and are not to be com-
pared with northern-grown two-year-old plants. Our best advertisement is for our customers
to see the stock for themselves. The rules governing the culture of roses, though simple, must
be strictly adhered to if choice flowers are to be expected. Only the new wood on roses pro-
duce flowers; therefore, close pruning during December and January is very essential; though
moderate pruning may be done the year round. Dead wood or small, sickly branches should
be removed whenever found. Mulching with leaf and mold or stable manure during Novem-
ber is of great value to the plants.
