ADVERTISEMENT.

The subscribers having purchased the entire stock of Mr. D. Repmonp in
Fruitland Nursery, and assumed the management of the same, are now prepared to
offer for sale a collection of Fruit Trees of the best Southern varieties, and of such
Northern and Foreign kinds as have been found to succeed well in this climate. Also
a choice collection of Roses, Evergreens, Ornamental Trees and Shrubs, Hedge
Plants, ete.

In the Fruit Department, particular care has been taken to select the most
valuable and profitable varieties, and we will recommend especially only such Fruits as
we know to be of great excellence. |

In the Ornamental Department and Roses, etc., we shall be governed by the same
principle, viz: the adoption for propagation and culture of only the most beautiful, rare
and desirable varieties.

D. Repmonp returns his hearty thanks to his friends and the public, for the
liberal encouragement which has heretofore been extended to him ; and respectfully asks
a continuance and increase of the same for the new proprietors of “Fruztland.” He
feels assured, from his intimate knowledge of his successors, and their facilities for filling
orders, that they will be able to give entire satisfaction, and to secure the confidence and
esteem of their customers. All orders for the products of “Fruitland Nursery” should
now be addressed to P. J. Bercxmans & Co., Augusta, Ga.

“Fruitland Nursery” is located about three miles west of the city of Augusta, Ga.
The place comprises a great variety of soil and aspect, so that we are enabled to cultivate
each kind of tree or plant in such soil as is best adapted to it.

Large orchards of bearing Trees of all kinds of Fruit, occupy all parts of the Farm,
and offer many facilities to compare and study the influence of soil and aspect upon the
same varieties.

A specimen orchard of all varieties of Fruit Trees, containing, among others, six
thousand Pear Trees, (and to be increased to ten thousand) is on the grounds adjoining
Fruitland. Altogether the Farm comprises four hundred acres of a soil wonderfully
adapted to the growth of Fruit Trees.

It seems useless or superfluous to recommend the common rules laid down in all
Horticultural publications, and in most ail the Catalogues. We shall only confine
ourselves to a few most essential hints,

When the Tree reaches its destination, if sent far either very early or very late in
the planting season, and showing some signs of shrivelling, let it be buried for a day in
light, moist soil, or simply keep the bundle soaked for a few hours before unpacking.

In planting, cut off clean the bruised or broken roots, and reduce also the branches.

The all-important rule is to have a soil well plowed and subsoiled, trenched, or at
least a hole of two feet square and depth, with sides broken in and filled up with good
soil, ready to receive the tree which has to be planted as deep as it was in the Nursery.
If well planted and relieved of all superfluous or useless branches, and the leader cut
down to one-half of its length, no props or stakes will be needed. We never used one ;
they are more injurious than beneficial; they shave the tree on one side of all its buds
and incipient branches, and, if neglected, they decay, tumble and carry the tree with
them by their weight. The best propping is a judiciously used pruning knife, and a
rational distribution of branches on every side of the tree, removing the water-shoots or
gourmands, and compelling the tree to send out branches in or near the places destitute
of these, by reducing, nipping or pruning the overweighing of too numerous branches
on the other side.

The Pyramidal form is the only one fitted for a young tree and for ad/ clamates.
Ist. As it covers and protects the bark all over the body, by letting the branches
remain one foot from the ground. 2d. By giving strength to the tree by a regular
distribution of the sap and the exclusion of all water-shoots and double leaders. 3d.
By allowing the young tree, although furnished with all the necessary shoots and foliage,
(but in a compact form) to withstand the storms and gales which prostrate and destroy
so many badly pruned and propped trees.

When the tree has firmly established its roots, (say the second or third year) the
owner can give to it the shape and form which he prefers. Nothing has been lost by the
protection of a compact pyramidal form for the first and second year.

4 PREFACE.

Dwarf Pears must be planted so that the connection of the bud and stock is at least
two inches under the surface of the ground. Many varieties of Pears when worked on
the Quince, will throw out roots from the bud, and so free themselves from the stock.

To persons desiring full directions and particulars on the management of Fruit
Trees, we would recommend the ‘Fruit Garden,” by P. Barry, and the “Fruits and
Fruit Trees of America,’’ by the late A. J. Downing, revised and corrected by Charles
Downing.

After carefully comparing the Fruit in the South and in the North, we can safely
express our opinion in favor of the former. ears are larger, and of better appearance
and quality than their Northern relatives. This induces us strongly to recommend the
cultivation of this luscious fruit.

The following list includes select varieties, which we can safely recommend.

Those marked with an asterisk (*) are not suited to the Quince stock ; we under-
stand by not suited to the Quince: not to grow thriftly, and decaying prematurely.

The best soil for this delicious fruit is a sandy or even a gravelly loam, moist, and rich in vege-
table matter. An excellent compost for an acre of ground would be 60 bushels of leaf-mould
from the woods, 20 bushels of leached ashes, 5 bushels lime, and 3 or 4 quarts of salt. (This same
proportion may be observed for any given quantity of land.) Mix thoroughly, let it stand two or
three days, scatter broadcast, and plow in. Then harrow or rake the surface, making it fine, and
set your plants in rows 3 feet apart, and 1 foot-or 15 inches in the row. Or, if planting for market,
on a large scale, set your plants in 3 rows one foot apart, and leave a 2 foot alley between every strip
of this kind—said alley to be kept clean and open with the horse-hoe. After the plants have be-
come well rooted, cover the whole with partly decomposed leaves from the forest, or even chopped
up pine or broom straw, leaving nothing exposed but the leaves and fruit-stalks of the plants.
Our choicest varieties are: PistiLLates, (or female blossom,) Hovey’s Seedling, McAvoy’s Extra
Red, Crescent Seedling, Black Prince, McAvoy’s Superior, Crimson Cone. SvaMinate, or Her-
MAPHRODITE, (male, or ‘‘perfect” blossom,): Longworth’s Prolific, Boston Pine, Walker's Seed-
ling, Early Scarlet. We have also many xew varieties on trial, but are not yet prepared to report
on their merits. In the above list P indicates Pistillate, and H Hermaphrodite or Staminate
blossoms. .

We have abandoned the planting of Pistillate plants among Staminates, for the reason that they
grow so rampantly that they soon mix up with, overrun, and crowd out the bearing plants. A

proper admixture of Staminates (or impregnators) being absolutely essential, however, we yive the
following diagrams, which set forth the proper system of planting, to secure the largest crops, and

Alley, 6 feet wide.

It will be seen that Nos. 1 and 3, containing Pistillate plants, are fertilized or impregnated by
the Staminate plants in the narrow centre bed, No. 2, from which they are separated by alleys 6
feet wide—these alleys to be kept scrupulously free fromall runners, especially those thrown off
by the Staminate plants in the centre. The beds may be made of any required size. The stars (*) rep-
resent the plants in 3 foot rows, 12 or 15 inches apart in the row,

EVERBLOOMING ROSES.

The climate of our Southern States is as well adapted to the cultivation of Roses, as
that of Italy, but it is useless to try to grow them in poor soil and in a careless way.
Therefore, as a basis for all horticultural operations, we must urge the necessity of ma-
nuring the soil and working it deeply. This latter operation can be done either with
the spade, or, where a larger space is to be cultivated, with a turning plow, followed by
a subsoil plow, burying the manure deeply. From 14 to 20 inches deep will answer for
most purposes.

22 EVERBLOOMING ROSES.

The Everblooming Roses are subdivided into five families, viz: China, Tea, Bourbon,
Noisette and Remontant or Hybrid Perpetuals. The first four classes, however, have
been much hybridized, in order to produce new varieties, that it often becomes as diffi-
cult to classify them as it would be to distinguish the different cross-breeds of dogs or

chickens.
