Suggestions About Ordering and Terms of Sale
In Writing the Order — Patrons will oblige us, and avoid possible
errors, omissions and misunderstandings by using order blank, and
observing the following suggestions and terms of sale. More order
blanks will be cheerfully furnished upon request.
Write Plainly — Your signature, postoflRce, street or R. F. D.
address. Name of consignee, destination and route ; if a new or
email town, give name of county, railroad or river. ^ Designate
whether shipment is prefcn*ed by express, freight, or mail. Use sep-
arate line for each item ordered.
Indicate size ordered by using either size key letters or by writing
size in figures. Extend or carry out prices for each item or group of
the same class having a common price.
Many nurseries and dealers buy and sell our stock. Trees or plants
sold to nurseries or dealers must be resold by them on their own
responsibility. We are responsible only to parties purchasing direct
from us.
PRICES
Prices are Graduated according to size or age of trees and plants
and quantity ordered. Orders for any one class or size of trees
having a common price made up of one or more varieties, graduate
price applies as follows :
1 to 4 trees, single or each price applies.
5 to 50 trees, ten rate price applies.
50 to 500 trees hundred rate price applies.
500 or more trees, thousand rate price applies.
This does not, however, apply to long lists of one or two trees
each : on such the ten rate should apply.
Prices in this Catalog are for goods properly packed and delivered
in good condition to forwarding company, the purchaser assuming
all cost and risk of transportation.
Parcel Post Shipments of small sizes will be made for twenty-five
per cent advance over list prices.
OUR LIABILITY
We exercise all possible care to have stock well rooted, well grown,
healthy, true to name, properly packed, and shipped according to
instructions. It is, however, mutually agreed between the purchaser
and ourselves that our liability under the foregoing is limited^ in
amount to original price received. No guarantee expressed or im-
plied that trees will live or grow.
TERMS OF PAYMENT
Cash with order or before shipment of goods.
Advance Payment on Reserve Orders — Orders booked some time
in advance of shipment must be accompanied by 25 per cent of the
amount of order, to insure us in booking order and reserving goods,
balance to be paid before shipment. If order is to be held until late
in season, balance to be paid by February 1st.
We Do Not Care to Ship C. O. D., and will not unless 25 per cent
of amount accompanies order.
REMITTANCES
To insure safety, and prompt acceptance, remittance should be
made by bank draft, express or postoffice money order, or registered
letter. One-fourth of one per cent with a minimum of 10 should
be added to all personal checks to cover cost of exchange and col-
lection.
SHIPMENTS
Unless otherwise instructed, orders received during shipping season
will be forwarded as soon after receipt as possible. Reserve orders
will be shipped as soon as convenient after shipping season opens.
Orders Without Shipping Instructions will be shipped as we be-
lieve is safest, cheapest and best for our customers’ interest. Should
shipment be ordered by freight, and we find that express rates for
the size package nearly or quite as cheap, we will forward by ex-
press.
Shipments at Purchaser’s Risk — Our responsibility ceases when
we deliver trees to forwarding company. Claims for loss or damage
must be made on them. We will, however, trace, if requested, and
use every means at our command to secure prompt delivery, and
recovery in case of damage or loss.
SELECTION OF VARIETIES
Selection of varieties suitable to your locality is of first importance,
and can often be more advantageously done by us than by purchaser.
We will gladly aid our patrons in their selections and upon request
furnish information as to adaptability and desirability of varieties,
SUBSTITUTION
We desire to follow our customers’ wishes in this respect, and
have found that they usually wish us to substitute to the best of
judgment in case we are out of any varieties or sizes ordered. We
therefore substitute when necessary unless instructed to the contrary.
Why This Catalog?
BECAUSE we believe our high-
ly intelligent people of Florida
and the cotton-growing section of
the South prefer to order direct
from a reliable nursery, taking
their time to select varieties from
a comprehensive list containing
only such things as are adapted to
their section, than to place their
orders with tree agents after a
few minutes of smooth talk and
the display of greatly exaggerated
colored plates, and whose main
object is to sell the things on which their profits are
the largest
To assure the buying public that their orders will
receive business-like attention, and that every tree or
plant sent out by us will be a good one, as good or
better than it is represented to be, and that all our
stock is healthy and free from disease and insect
pests of all kinds.
To tell you that your interests are our interests and
that every customer is entitled to all benefits of our
Service Department and that our many Seirvice Bulle-
tins listed elsewhere in this catalog are free. We
wish you to know we feel an interest in your stock
after it is sold and planted, and are trying to help you
get best results.
To increase our direct order business we are
publishing many thousands more copies of this cat-
alog than we have ever done before, and to those get-
ting a copy who are not already acquainted with us
we wish to say that thirty-four years ago the prop-
erty near Macclenny, Florida, on which the head-
quarters of the INTER-STATE NURSERIES are
located, was purchased by Mr. D. C. Griffing, and a
small nursery was planted the
following winter.
For several years there was con-
ducted a limited but steadily in-
creasing business, catering almost
exclusively to the local and Flor-
ida trade, but the selection of
location and land proved better
for the nursery business than had
been anticipated, and it was
found that our soil, a splendid
sandy loam underlaid with clay
from twelve to eighteen inches,
our mild climate and abundant rainfall, assisted by
intelligent management, was capable of producing
the highest quality of many classes of nursery prod-
ucts adapted to all Southern States-
With these natural advantages we are able to bid
for business in a much larger field and the INTER-
STATE NURSERIES now enjoy a large and increas-
ing patronage from every Southern State. For many
years the business was owned and operated by Griffing
Brothers, Inc., but in the fall of 1915 it was purchased
by C. M. Griffing & Co., and the name of INTER-
STATE NURSERIES, indicative of its larger scope,
was adopted, and, under this name, we are bidding
for a still larger volume of business.
It goes without saying that, with our long ex-
perience in the South, we know the classes, varieties
and types of trees and plants adapted to the South
and thoroughly understand the packing of same so
that, no matter what the distance may be, our prod-
ucts reach our customers in good order.

TREES AND PLANTS FOR THE SOUTH
Peaches
The Greatest Money Fruit Crop of the South
Every Southern State now has its commercial peach growing industries in localities where enterprising citizens have demonstrated
that by planting on well drained natural forest lands and caring for their orchards according to approved methods there are greater
profits to be made than in other
crops or fruit growing undertak-
ings involving such small in-
vestments.
Peaches are adapted to the
whole South, but not the same
classes or varieties to all sec-
tions.
Peach trees may be kept
healthy and free from ravages
of insects and diseases by in-
expensive modern method, so
that every family with even a
few square yards of well-drained
soil can raise and enjoy this
most delicious fruit.
Griffings Service Bulletin No.
71, on General Fruitjs, treating
extensively on i>each culture for
the South, is invaluable for ama-
teur fruit growers. Classes and
varieties adapted to the various
sections of the South are cor-
rectly defined. T. 'ccessful
modern methods of rtilizing
and controlling insects and dis-
eases by inexpensive means are
fully described. This Service

Florida Peach Industry
Peach growing in all Southern States is now an established
industry but, owing to the fact that only certain strains or
types of varieties will thrive in Florida climate and soil, (en-
tirely different strains from those adapted to other Southern
State) there have been many disappointments on account of
planting varietie not adapted to Florida. These mistakes are
no longer excusable, as the best varieties of the strains or types
that are successful are the only ones recommended by reputable
nurseries for planting in the peninsula of Florida.
We recommend the Jewell as the most reliable and best com-
mercial variety for Central and South Florida planting.
PEACHES FOR INTER-PLANTING IN ORANGE OR
GRAPEFRUIT GROVES.
The average profitable life for the peach throughout the
country is from 8 to 16 years, depending on the quality of the
land and care of the orchard. A well-cared for peach orchard
will pay for itself in Florida and return good profit to the
planter within the first five years. If planting in the spaces
between the trees of an orange or grapefruit grove you can
afford to remove the peach trees any time after the fifth year,
as they will have paid well for the time and attention given them.
In orange or grai)efruit groves, with trees planted 30 feet or
more apart, the peach trees can remain without detriment to the
orange or grapefruit trees for from 8 to 10 years.
GRIFFING’S No. 4 — Yellow summer cling, yellow flesh, sub-
acid, July 10th.
HALL’S YELLOW — Large, yellow, freestone, July 1st.

JEWELL — An early and most valuable variety for planting
throughout Central and South Florida. Medium size, roundish
oblong, small point, light yellow. Rich, juicy, melting. The
most popular and profitable variety. For commercial orchards
in Florida it has no equal, thousands of acres are being planted,
insuring carload movement of this most choice freestone peach
during the month of May, they being on the market all to
themselves in their season.
MIAMI ( ?) — Originated at Miami. Of great value for extreme
South Florida planting. Large, creamy yellow. May 15th.

everyone having a lot or garden in town large enough
for a few trees. No fruit is more healthful, no fruit
will afford so much pleasure and profit for a small
outlay.
Group A

Peaches on Plum Roots
Some people recommend the planting of peaches grown on
plum roots for the coast country as they are not affected by the
Nematode (the insect that causes root-knot disease, the direct
cause of short life of this class of trees) and plum roots will
also thrive and give good results on land so wet that peach roots
will not grow at all.
To meet this demand we have grafted a large stock of all
leading varieties on Marianna plum roots. We recommend that
this class of trees be planted deep enough so there would be
three or four inches of soil above the union of the graft and
plum root, and believe by this method peaches can be grown in
many places where they have failed before on account of the
root-knot disease or from the land being too wet for peach roots.

Plums
Recent crops of Plums in Florida and the lower South have
convinced thousands of people that there is no better section for
their extensive culture. Southern markets and homes were
abundantly supplied with this most delicious fruit during the
months of May and June, while the few that found their way to
the Northern markets met with no competition and brought
most satisfactory returns.
We recommend more extensive planting of plum trees. They
should be grown in quantities for refrigerator car shipments
and we believe a commercial plum orchard offers today one of
the greatest inducements to the man who wants to engage in a
pleasant and highly profitable horticultural pursuit. The plum
is a fruit that is easy to grow, bears young, crops regularly, and
has untold possibilities for commercial preserving as well as
marketing in a fresh state.
Our Plum trees are of choice varieties, the best for Southern
planters. They are grown on new, cut-over pine land, and are
absolutely free from disease of every character.
PLANT PLUMS IN POULTRY YARD.
The clean packed ground and high percentage of nitrogen in
the chicken manure seem to be just what the trees require. The
trees give right amount of shade during summer and admit sun-
light during winter.

Pecans
Harvesting Pecans.
Description of Pecans
ALLEY — Symmetrical, strong grower and prolific ; nuts
medium size ; cracking quality good ; shells medium to
thin : plump kernel, well flavored.
BRADLEY — Cracking quality excellent ; kernel plump.
Always takes first prize at fairs on account of richness
of meat. Tree of limber growth, withstanding gales
without shedding nuts or breaking limbs. Comes into
bearing younger and more prolific than most other vari-
eties.
CURTIS — Tree vigorous. Open growth. Bears at early
age. Thin shell ; cracking quality exceptionally good ;
plump kernel of rich quality. While nut is smaller than
other varieties listed it makes up in quantity and in
cracking tests they crack more weight in meats per
pound of nuts than other varieties.
DELMAS — Size large,
plump kernel ; quality
good : vigorous grower.
FROTCHER— One of the
oldest varieties. Kernel
large and easily removed.
MONEYMAKER — Com-
bines early maturity and
heavy productiveness.
Good grower ; excellent
for avenue planting.
PRESIDENT— Parent tree
began bearing at six
years after planting and
has increased annually.
This nut probably em-
braces more of the char-
acteristics of a perfect
nut than any other
standard variety. Ob-
long nut, slightly com-
pressed, with sharply
pointed base ; light yel-
lowish brown, large size ;
kernel long and plump ;
golden yellow ; bright
and attractive ; texture
fine ; quality extremely
good.
NELSON — Very large at-
tractive nut, borne in
clusters. Good flavor.
PABST — Sturdy, thrifty
grower ; productive ; nuts
large ; one of the best
eating nuts.
Each year’s progress in the growing of budded or grafted Pecans
throughout the cotton belt section of the South is proving more con-
clusively that Pecan growing is sure and profitable. As the industry
progresses, new lights and new facts are being brought out, both as
to varieties, yield, methods of planting, and cultivation.
From 2 to 4 pounds per tree, 6 years from planting, with a gradual
average increase up to 25 to 30 pounds in the tenth year is a fair
average of the production of the well-tended groves throughout the
South. Many trees are yielding far in excess of this, but believe the
foregoing to be a fair average.
Pecan growing as an industry has become thoroughly established.
The great future of the industry, as we see it, lies in the farmer and
fruit grower who plants from a few trees around his home, farm
buildings, along his avenues and roadsides, up to five or ten acres.
Trees planted under these conditions will be given good care and will
unquestionably yield the owner more liberal revenue in the course of
eight or ten years than any other purpose to which he can put the
ground and as we are recommending the planting 50 to 60 feet apart,
there is opportunity to use the space between the trees for farm
crops until the Pecans are in profitable bearing.
LIVE AND WIN.
Pecan growing as compared with life insurance. An amount ^ual
to the annual premium on a $5,000.00 life insurance policy invested
in planting Pecan trees for five successive years will, at the end of
fifteen years, earn annually an amount equal to the face of the
policy — and continually increase. 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.
BigZ
Big Z, the giant of all pecan nuts, was introduced by us for the
originator, J. W. Zink, of Southern Mississippi. This variety bears
very young, produces heavy clusters of nuts, 88 or 40 weighing a
pound. The ideal variety for door yards. Price, 2 to 3 feet, $1.25
each; $11.75 per 10; 3 to 4 feet, $1.35, $12.75 per 10; 4 to 5 feet,
$1.60 each; 5 to 7 feet, $2.00 each.
Five Recommended Best Varieties of
Pecans
In summing up a lengthy talk before the National Nut Growers'
Association, at Houston, Texas, in November, 1913, when he described
and discussed the relative merits of all existing, important, named
varieties of pecans (about 100), Prof. C. A. Reed of the U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., possibly the world’s greatest
living authority on nuts, pronounced the Bradley, Curtis, President,
Schley, and Stuart, “the five really first-class nuts.”

Figs
Fig growing is one of the oldest agricultural pursuits in the
world, and one that, when once established in a community,
clings constantly to that section. Fig trees will thrive and bear
regularly and continuously under greater hardships and mis-
treatment than any other fruit. The old settlers of the cotton
and cane belt have for many years been accustomed to gather-
ing fruit year after year from a few neglected, uncultivated
trees, which are all but forgotten until the owner is assailed by
the delicious odor of the ripe figs. A few people, especially
those living near the larger towns and cities have for many years
found it a convenient source of income to have a number of trees
or a small orchard from which to gather fruit for the local
market. Considering the bountiful crops these trees have yielded
year after year, in most cases without any attention or intelligent
care, the process of gathering'' and marketing the fruit has
been ‘^plundering nature.”
Only during the last ten or twelve years has the fig been
looked upon as commercial fruit for the Southern States, and
this late attention has been brought about by the necessity of
profitable crops for our land, which is rapidly becoming valu-
able.
Briefly speaking, during the last ten years the fig has been
taken up, criticised and tested from point of adaptability, qual-
ity, production per tree, per acre, per year, and has been thor-
oughly tested as a marketable commercial fruit, fresh, canned,
sterilized and preserved. In each and every test the fig has
proven its merit and today it stands as one of our safest, sanest
and most profitable industries.
The fig is, without question, fiiTnly established as a remuner-
ative and pleasant farm crop, and the profits from the fig are
by no means confined to large plantings. A small door-yard
orchard of a few trees will add many dollars to the home in-
come. One of the greatest advantages of the fig for small
farmers is that trees are inexpensive and easy to plant, requiring
only a very limited investment in establishing an oxxhard.
No fruit is more valuable in the South than the fig.^ They
should be planted at every kitchen door or around outbuildings,
as they grow especially well where roots may run under buildings.
A few trees of well selected varieties will supply fresh table figs
from May till late fall.
Marketing Figs
Fresh figs on the market for table use and preserving are
also meeting with ready sale, and when properly picked
and packed can be transported successfully several hundred
miles.
Commercial fig growing for supplying preserving plants
is gradually extending throughout the South. Plantings
should be made on heavy soils or w'here clay is close to
the surface. They can be planted 10 to 12 feet apart in
the rows and rows 15 to 18 feet apart.
The yield is very heavy, thousands of pounds of fruit
being produced per acre.
They require good fertilization, intensive cultivation, and„
if regularly sprayed with Bordeaux mixture, will hold their
leaves late in the season — greatly extending the producing
period.
Preserved Figs are becoming one of the most popular
dessert fruits in hotels, cafes, dining cars, and on honae-
tables. Up to the present time the supply has rfot begun
to keep up with the rapidly increasing demand.

TREES AND PLANTS FOR THE SOUTH
Naslii Persimmon. .Leading Market Variety.
HYAKUME — Large to very large, varying from roundish-oblong
to roundish-oblate flattened at the ends ; skin light, bluish-
yellow ; flesh light brown ; sweet, crisp and meaty even while
hard. A splendid persimmon.
OKAME — Large, usually oblate ; dark red and attractive. Yel-
low flesh and a few seeds. Very vigorous, sturdy; lives to
very old age.
Persimmons
The Persimmon is destined to become one of the
leading fruits of the cotton belt and lower South.
This may seem an extravagant statement, but as soon
as there is enough of the fruit on the market for the
people to learn the richness and deliciousness» the de-
mand will increase far in excess of the supply. Where
the Persimmon is known on the market it finds ready
sale without being treated to make it non-astringent.
In Japan the Persimmon is to the Japanese what the
apple is to the American. The cost of cultivation,
care and production is reduced to a minimum. The
trees thrive on almost any soil, giving good results on
land too poor for most crops. They can be produced
at one-half the cost of oranges, grape fruit or apples.
No frost risk and very few diseases or insect troubles.
Tree should be well cultivated and well fertilized for
the first two years, after which they should be plowed
during the winter and the orchard sowed with cow
peas, no cultivation being done during the growing
period. If peas and grass get too high, they may be
mowed and used for hay or as a mulch. Fertilizer
should be applied in March,
You can take the astringency or puckering out of
the hard, mature Persimmon, making it edible’ as an
apple. The process is simply placing the mature,
hard fruit in an air-tight receptacle or room and
displacing the air for a period of from two to four
days, according to the variety, with carbon dioxide
gas (the same as is used for charging soda fountains),
and the fruit will come out sound, firm and non-
astringent as an apple or peach. The United States
Department of Agriculture has been conducting ex-
periments in processing or removing the astringency
from the Persimmon for the past several years. See
United States Department of Agriculture Bulletins
No. 141 and 155. prepared by H. C. Gore, Division of
Foods, Bureau of Chemistry, U. S. Department ot
Agriculture. Get a copy of this bulletin.
POLLENATING THE PERSIMMON.
It is a well known fact that many of the best
known varieties of persimmons drop a great deal of
their bloom and immature fruit and it has always
been suspected that such varieties produced mostly imperfect or
pistillate flowers. Growers in Florida now claim to have dis-
covered a variety that always produces an abundance of staminate
flowers. This is known as the Gailey Persimmon, of which we
have grown a large stock and offer it at the same price of the
other varieties. The following statement is made about it by its
introducers :
‘Tt is not recommended for its fruit, for, though it is good,
it is small, but it is introduced to be planted along with other
varieties to supply their flowers with pollen and insure crops of
fruit. One tree of Gailey should be planted with every seven or
eight of every variety of our list, except Tane Nashi. Tane
Nashi will hold fruit without pollination.”

eat, as the loose, tender rind or skin and loosely adhering
segments enable one to remove the rind and separate the
segments or plugs and eat the fruit without the aid of a
knife, and without soiling the fingers or the most delicate
gloves. This feature makes it the ideal orange for the fruit
stand and the fruit vendor; an orange that may easily be ^
eaten out of hand while walking along the street, riding in
street cars, on ferries, etc. It is also an ideal orange for
banquets and informal receptions, as they can be served
whole and eaten with more comfort and in a more dignified

Mulberries
The Mulberry is one of the most desirable trees for shade
and protection of stock when p^lanted around the farm build-
ings, along lanes and in the hog-, poultry or young stock
pasture.
Its chief value lies in its quick growth, luxuriant foliage and
abundance of fruit, which has a great economic value as a food
for chickens and hogs during the spring and early summer
while other food crops are scarce. They are also valuable for
tolling birds away from other and more valuable fruit.
AS A FOOD FOR HOGS the Mulberry is of inestimable
value. Thirty full bearing mulberry trees equally divided be-
tween the Merritt variety, which commences ripening early in
April, and the Hicks Everbearing variety, which commences
ripening about the time the Merritt crop is over, will feed
from 35 to 40 head of hogs and pigs for a period of eight or
ten weeks, during a season when hog feed is the scarcest on
the farm.

TREES AND PLANTS FOR THE SOUTH
Crapes
Grapes of some the various types can be grown more or
less successfully in nearly every section of the United States.
In the lower South two distinct types have proven their worth-
iness for general planting, and in no section can a greater
quantity of the choicest fruit, per acre, be produced. The
grape should be more generally planted in the home garden
and commercial vineyards. Every home in the South should
have a shade arbor of some strong growing variety of grapes.
There is nothing better for a shade arbor for children to play
under or anyone to rest on hot summer days; and if the right
varieties are planted there will be an abundance of fruit for
many weeks in summer and fall. Note in description strong
growing varieties we recommend for covering arbors.
Our list of Grapes comprises the two classes that have
proven their worthiness for the lower South.
THE TBEEUS OR BUNCH GRAPE (Vitis labrusca). The
great American type of grape, the one most largely used for
the manufacture of grapei juice.
SOUTHERN MUSCADINE GRAPE (Vitis rotundifolia).
Sometimes called Scuppernong family on account of the
Scuppernong being the best known variety of the type.

MOORE^S EARLY — Small bunch, large fruit; blue-black,
pulpy, sweet and of good quality.
NIAGARA — White, large, showy. Splendid quality.
Southern Muscadine Grapes
SOUTHERN MUSCADINE (Vitis rotundifolia) — Scuppernong
family. Native Southern type. A popular grape on all
Southern markets. Makes very fine wine.s and grape juice.
Well adapted throughout the South. Vines should be plant-
ed 20 to 25 feet apart and trained on flat arbor about GVz
feet high. If the Scuppernong type of grapes were produced
in sufficient quantity to supply the Southern markets during
their season of August, September, and October, there would
be very little demand for any of the bunch grapes in com-
petition with them. All Southern people know and love
these grapes best of all. We recommend them highly for
Southern markets and believe they could be made as popu-
lar in the North if produced in quantity and properly in-
troduced there.
EDEN — Large, black, fine flavored grapes. Fine for wines or
grape juice.
FLOWERS — Large, splendid quality. Very late. Black.
JAMES— Large, black; delicate flavor; large cluster, early
bearer. Most robust vines of the black Scuppernong type.
Fine quality, productive, free from disease. Late.
MEISCH — New variety, medium size, earliest of this type.
Delicate, rich splendid flavor.
SCUPPERNONG — Large, bronze-colored berry. Flesh sweet,
pulpy and vinous. The most popular grape on the South-
ern market. Supply is seldom equal to the demand. Vines
produce abundantly.
THOMAS — Small cluster, medium size. Very fine quality.
Grape juice from this variety is rich and of pleasing flavor.
Loquats
A conspicuously attractive, medium size, evergreen tree of
very symmetrical, spreading growth. The foliage is dark,
rich green on top with slight velvety appearance below.
Leaves are very large, measuring two to three inches across
and 6 to 8 inches long. A most beautiful ornamental tree for
the garden or lawn. In addition to its other good qualities,
the loquat tree bears heavy annual crops of deliciously
sprightly, sub-acid plum-shaped and sized fruits which are
splendid for making jellies.

DIXIE is a chance seedling, possibly a cross between the Le-
Conte and Sand Pear, originated in Southern Georgia a number
of years ago. The tree was found there and its enormous creps
of high quality fruit together with its splendid record as a
regular bearer, induced us to secure buds for the propagation
of trees. These young trees have now been fruiting on our
own property twelve years. The crop is regular, very heavy,
of fine quality, and the trees have always been absolutely free
from blight.

TREES AND PLANTS FOR THE SOUTH
INTER-STATE NURSERIES, JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA 9
Alexander Will Gray.
Roses
If you like flowers (as everyone who likes flowers LOVES ROSES) you cannot
afford to miss one word of what we have to say about them.
Roses are the most popular flowering plant grown. As either
plants or flowers, they may be properly and effectively used
for a great number of purposes. In the Southern States roses
may be had in abundance nearly the entire year; longer than
any other flower. We can never have too many roses around
onr homes; we seldom have enough. By planting our rose
bushes, and following our simple instructions, the growing of
roses in the South is easy and results gratifying.
The mild winter, long fall and spring seasons, and abundance
of rain during the summer, give the lover of roses in the
Southern States a more ideal climatic condition for growth in
the yard or open bed than any section in the world.
We offer only sturdy, field grown rose bushes that have
actually proven themselves by producing an abundance of flow-
ers in the nursery before they are dug and shipped. They are
propagated low, on non-sprouting hardy stock or roots, that
are known to produce free flowering, strong, vigorous bushes.
At time of shipping, plants are severely pruned and defoliat-
ed, conserving in the root, main stalk and body of the bush the
necessary vitality, enabling them toi push out strong, sturdy
branches, and produce an abundance of well developed flowers
(when properly planted, manured and watered) in a surpris-
ingly short time.
Our rose bushes are grown in the South especially for South-
ern planting, and will give sure and satisfactory results.
Such bushes should not be confused with imported plants,
grown in entirely different soil and under different climatic
conditions, that have been dug and kept in storage or transit
months before you receive them, such as are sometimes offer-
ed by seed houses, department stores, etc., nor should ours bO:
compared with the weakly hot house grown pot plants, prop-
agated on their own roots from green wood cuttings, offered
by plant firms in the North. There is no comparison either
in character of plants or in results.
Who Should Plant Roses
Everyone should plants roses. There is no home, worthy of
the name, where space could not be found for from ten to on©
hundred rose bushes. If a renter, plant roses; you will get^
returns in beautiful flowers in from two to three months. If
a flat dweller, and you have three or more windows, you can
plant ten or more rose bushes in window boxes. The results
will be a delight, and you can move the window boxes with
other personal belongings, when moving day comes around.
If a home owner it matters not how pretentious or humble,
nothing can make it more home-like, more attractive and in-
viting, than a well selected rose planting. If a landlord,
there is no improvement that can be made at so small an ex-
penditure that will so quickly enhance the rental value and
desirability of property, insuring permanent tenants, as a
good rose planting. i
Rose Planters’ Helps
Written expressly to meet the requirements and conditions
of the Southern States.
SSlLiUCTION' OF BUSHES. The success of your planting
very largely depends on the selection of the right varieties as
to character of bush growth for location in which they are to
be planted. Rose bushes are divided into two general classes;
Bush varieties, those that grow in bush form, and climbing va-
rieties, those that are of more vigorous growth, producing long
branches or shoots that may be trained on trellises, pergolas,
porches, etc. The bush varieties vary greatly in character of
growth and vigor of plant. Some of the varieties that produce
the most perfect flowers in great profusion are of small bush
growth, never attaining large size, while other varieties are
of more or less vigo^rous upright or spreading habit of growth.
If the desirable but small growth bushes are planted in rose
beds Indiscriminately with the more vigorous bushes, they will
soon become overshadowed and ultimately die, and such a
rose bed will never present an attractive, uniform appearance.
Varieties should be selected and plantings arranged so that
the vigorous upright bushes, the vigorous bushes of spreading
habit, the smaller growth bushes, may each be planted in
groups. To assist our patrons in the selection of varieties and
arrangement, we give the description of each variety, the
character of growth. Remember that many of the Hybrid
Tea varieties, which are mostly of the smaller bush gn"OWth,
produce the most magnificent flowers in greatest profusion.
EOCATION AND AKKANGEMENT OF ROSE PEANTING.
Rose plantings can be successfully made where the location is
not overshadowed by large trees, and where not shaded by
buildings or fences more than half the day. Soil should be
well drained and fertile. If not naturally rich, it must be
made so by adding more fertile soil, and a liberal amount of
manure. The presence of clay in soil or under rose plantings,
while desirable and beneficial, is not essential to success.
Some of the finest plantings we have ever seen had no clay
under them for many feet, but the sandy soil was made very
fertile with natural manure and chemical fertilizers, and an
ample, but not excessive, supply of water.
STYEE OF PEANTING. Rose plantings may be conven-
iently considered in the following six styles; (1) Rose Beds,
(2) Banking, (3) Climbing, viz., for training on trellises, per-
golas, porches or over rose walks, (4) Yard Plantings, (6)
Rose Gardens, (6) Window Boxes.
ROSE BEDS. We advise planting several bushes of a vari-
ety or color, in a square by themselves Instead of scattering
them at random through the bed. To secure large, well de-
veloped, long stemmed flowers, bushes should be kept well
pruned; do not be afraid to cut long stems with the flowera
Continuous cutting back or pruning of the bedding varieties
forces strong vigorous shoots from near the ground from
which you get the finest long stem flowers. Cut away old and
unhealthy branches.
BANItlNG or the ROSE BANK. For banking against build-
ings. next to fences, in corners, around porches, or steps and
other similar locations, use varieties of strong bush growth.
Medium growth bushes of spreading habit, and upright growth
bushes, should be planted 24 to 30 Inches apart. Rank or
vigorous growth bushes, of spreading habit, should be planted
30 to 35 Inches apart. For best effect, plant the strong growth,
upright bushes next to fence or building. About 30 Inches in
front of these, and about 36 inches apart, plant the strong

growth bushes, of spreading habit, and about 30 inches in
front of these plant the medium growth bushes of spread-
ing habit, about 30 inches apart. This will give a dense
bank of foliage and flowers, with the strong upright bushes
rearing their stems and flowers in the background,
CLIMBING OR TRELLIS ROSES. These may be planted
in a great number of locations to good eifect. Around ve-
randas or porches they are especially desirable. They do
not become sufficiently dense to exclude air, light, or harbor
insects. Other choice locations are for training over summer
houses, pergolas, along fences and the rose walk. Climbing
roses should be planted from three to eight feet apart, de-
pending upon how dense a covering is desired. Little, If
any, pruning should be done. Branches that grow in long
shoots, many times 15 to 20 feet or more, should be care-
fully trained and tied to trellis or support.
If branches are too few, they may be headed back and
made to branch, making a more dense covering. A very
Lady Alice Stanley.
Roses Worthy
a Place in
Your Garden
effective training for climbing varieties is to plant 6 to 8 feet
apart, and for each plant construct a vase shaped, triangular
or square rack or frame, six to seven feet in height. The parts
for such a rack or frame should be of good, durable material
about two inches square. For the triangular frame use 3 posts
set into the ground about 12 inches, 24 inches apart, with the
tops leaning outward so that the tops are 4 feet apart. To th©
posts nail horizontal slats 12 inches apart. Branches twined on
the inside of such a frame, and allowed to droop over the top,
make one of the most pleasing effects possible.
YARD ROSES. The stronger growth Tea varieties are the
most desirable for open ground planting. These vigorous grow-
ing Tea and others recommended for yards, should be planted
three to five feet apart. Little pruning is necessary further
than cutting a good liberal stem to flowers, and removing dead
or weak branches, until the end of the second year when one-
third to one-half the top should be pruned away, removing the
older and weaker branches. Similar pruning should be repeated
every year. Some yard bushes live to old age and grow to
enormous size. We have seen twelve and fifteen year old bushes
of such varieties as Minnie Frances and Maurice Rouvier attain
a height of ten feet, with a spread of 12 to 14 feet. Others,
such as Madam Lombard, Snowflake, Maman Cochet, and Louis
Phillippe, etc., attain heights of from six to seven feet with
eight and ten feet spread, producing thousands of beautiful
roses annually.
ROSE GARDENS, Many lovers of roses have rose gardens,
varying in size from a few dozen plants to several thousand, in
which they find great pleasure in testing new varieties. Such
rose gardens are seldom attractive or beautiful from a landscape
view point. They are extremely interesting and fascinatingly
beautiful if you overlook the lack of uniformity of bush growth,
and give your attention to a study of the characteristics of the
varieties and the beautiful flowers produced. In planning your
rose garden, if you will give the character of bush growth a
little study and thought, you can make it more interesting and
much more beautiful and attractive as a whole. Plant the
stronger growing bush varieties in a section to themselves; like-
wise the medium growth bushes, and the weaker growth bed-
ding varieties to themselves, giving each the proper distance.
By doing this you will occupy your ground space to better ad-
vantage, conserve your fertility and moisture and the result
will be beautiful rose beds and groups.
\^NDOW BOXES. Roses for window box plantings should
be of the profuse blooming smaller growth bush sorts, such as
the Hybrid Tea varieties, recommended in the descriptions for
bedding. Rose window boxes should be made 12 to 14 inches
deep, 10 to 12 inches wide at bottom
and 12 to 14 inches wide at top, and
of proper length to suit the window.
They should be made of good, durable
material, about one inch thick. In
the bottom several half-inch holes
should be bored to admit of perfect
drainage. Boxes should be filled with
good soil into which has been mixed
from one-third to one-half its bulk of
well rotted dairy manure, and one
pound of pulverized lime rock to each
cubic foot of soil. After the box so
filled has stood for two weeks, having
been freely watered daily, the bushes
should be ordered and planted im-
mediately on arrival. Bushes can be
planted from twelve to fifteen inches
apart. Rose bushes in window boxes
require water two or three times each
day. If allowed to become dry, they
will die, but if kept well watered
and fertilized, you will get wonderful
returns in beautiful flowers.

Palms
In the Southern Coast States from North Carolina to Mexico, many of the most beautiful palms thrive in the open without
protection and should have a larger part in the beautifying of home grounds, parks and streets. One of our chief specialties is
palms for outdoor plantings. No class of trees or plants make such a tropical and elegant display. They add dignity and beau-
ty to any spot. <
During our years of experience in growing and handling hardy nursery grown palms we have settled on what we believe to
be the best system of transplanting them to give our customers satisfactory results.
Palms cannot be handled bare rooted. They must be lifted with a ball of earth from the nursery or established and
growing in tubs or pots. For economy the most of our trade demands them dug with a ball of earth from the open nursery
row and the ball securely wrapped with burlap. This method requires the pruning off of from forty to sixty per cent
of the outside leaves when they are dug. In planting these the burlap should not be removed. Plant the whole ball just as
received, with burlap on, using plenty of water and filling the hole with mellow loam soil, packing firmly about the ball.
After planting, the tops should be kept tied up for some time, occasionally opening the strings to allow new leaf growth.
When new growth starts fertilize liberally with well rotted stable manure. Palms are gross feeders and with an abundance
of fertilizer, moisture and good cultivation, will give pleasing results.
The Hardiest Varieties
Cocos Australis, Chamaerops Excelsa and Sabal Palmetto
varieties can be grown much farther north than generally
thought, these hardy varieties being safe for planting in all of
Florida, Imuisiana, the South half of Mississippi, Alabama,
Georgia, and the coast sections of North and South Carolina,
in Texas north of Dallas and west to Eagle Pass, thus making
it possible for every one of these sections to have the pleasure
and satisfaction of adding outdoor Palms to their collection
with all their tropical beauty and stateliness.
The Most Popular Varieties
The Washingtonia and Phoenix or Date Palms are hardy and
safe for outside planting from the coast back about 100 miles
and should be extensively planted in the home grounds, parks
and streets, and there is nothing that gives a more inviting
tropical effect to our Northern visitors than to come where
they may be among the waving Palms and enjoy the mild
winters of the Southern coast country climate.

Japan Tree
Evergreen shrubs or small trees, sometimes attaining height
of 10 to 15 feet.' Dark green foliage. Attractive for specimens
or massed planting in landscaping. The Tea of commerce.
Better effects can be secured from the
planted shrubbery if a definite plan is de-
cided upon before the order is made out.
We offer a few general suggestions to
assist you in obtaining handsome, attrac-
tive effects at no greater outlay than hap-
hazard results would cost.
Borders of shrubbery can bo well used
to separate neighboring properties or por-
tl^ons of farms or large estates. Then
groups of trees and plants of assorted
height and types of growth should be
used in corners of grounds, the larger or
taller ones in the backgrounds, leaving
centers of grounds for lawn, flower beds
etc.
Shrubs with colored foliage or flowers
should be distributed among evergreens.
A most beautiful effect can be secured on small city lots by
planting a continuous border of shrubbery along the sides of
the house. Such kinds should be chosen as will not by their
final height obstruct porches or windows. Evergreen, flower-
ing and deciduous shrubs should be combined to present a
compact appearance without crowding. Care should be used
to select varieties whose tops will more or less grow together
and which will' present soft and pleasing lines at their tops
and along the ground.
Beautiful effects are secured by bordering drives and walks.
As a rule, we recommend borders for walks and drives only on
the inside curves, except where decidedly formal effects are
desired. Medium or tall shrubs, in masses, are often used with
splendid effects to hide unsightly out-housesandothereye-sores.

them. The most beautiful groupings can be made by carefully
selecting such varieties as go well' together. The new ideas
in landscape planting have developed new uses for evergreens,
until they now hold a prominent place.

While shade around Southern homes is essential, care should
be taken in planting shade trees to leave wide open spaces
for the admission of breezes and for lawns. Planted in groups,
they present a far handsomer appearance than when set in
a row, and these open spaces between groups may be arranged
to permit view and allow free circulation of air. Trees should
be planted close enough together for the tops to interlock,
but not so near that they will distort each other. By group-
ing evergreens and deciduous trees that will attain various
heights and different shaped heads, the planter secures an
artistic and soft sky-line, besides enjoying a more dense shade
during the summer and openness and light during the winter.
There is no method by which you can add to the value of
your home so rapidly and with such small outlay as by plant-
ing shade trees, and the amount of increased value will depend
not so much on the sum you spend as the taste you display
in selection. Peel free to write us for our advice; we are al-
ways glad to suggest proper selection to our customers.
