Landscape Architects
AUGUSTA - - GEORGIA
We offer our services to owners of private estates, surburban and city
home grounds, suburban communities, residential parks, officials in charge
of the development of the grounds of educational and other institutions,
summer and winter resorts, hotel grounds, country club and golf grounds,
public squares and playgrounds, parkways, mill villages, cemeteries, and
to all those desiring to have their properties laid out and improved in
good taste.
We have had long and varied experience in this profession, and are
almost daily called into consultation with the owner and house-architect
in selecting the layout of approach drive, service road, walks, lawn areas,
flower garden, kitchen garden, and service yard. We visit and make a
study of the property to be improved, give verbal suggestions and
written reports.
If the problems requiring solution are such as can only be satisfac-
torily disposed of by means of plans, we are prepared to make topograph-
ical surveys, design preliminary and general plans, and, for the better
execution of the work, detailed grading, drainage, and planting plans,
specifications and estimates.
We solicit correspondence with any one interested in landscape work.

Suggestions
Always address all communications to SIGMUND auNC & CO., Drawer 910, Augusta, Ga., and not to
ndividuals.
NOTE All quotations are for immediate acceptance, subject to stock being sold. No liability to attach
to us where frost, drought or other casualties beyond our control prevent delivery of stock that
may be contracted for.
ORDER NOW —Do not wait until you are ready to plant. Frequently orders sent late in the season
eannot be filled in full. Send us your order now; it will be carefully filed until you desire it shipped.
When making out your order, write the full and correct name of the article desired, as given in catalogue.
Give size and catalogue price. Never give local names of plants, as different plants frequently have the
same local name.
RESERVING ORDERS—When purchasers desire these to be reserved for weeks or months after the
epening of the shipping season, they must be paid for in full at the time-of ordering.
NAME AND ADDRESS—Always write your name plainly upon order-sheet in catalogue. A lady should
always sign herself Miss or Mrs., and always use the same initials.
Give your postoffice, county and state, also street or postoffice box number, and the name of your
nearest express office.
SHIPPING DIRECTIONS—Give plain and explicit directions for shipping. If by freight, state route.
When no directions are given, we shall use our best judgment in forwarding; but in all cases shipments are
at purchaser’s risk after receipt is taken from the transportation company. Freight and express rates will
be given upon application.
EXPRESS—In all cases, when possible, we advise our customers to have their goods forwarded by ex-
press. Plants, trees, etc., are taken at a special reduced rate.
PARCEL POST—Owing to the nature of our products, we can send very few plants by Parcel Post, but
if order can be sent this way, sufficient amount to cover postage must accompany order; otherwise it will
be sent by express.
PACKING—AII articles in this catalogue packed free, xecept when for export, as such orders require
large quantities of specially prepared packing material, and entail much extra labor and care in prepara-
tion. This extra packing is charged at actual cost. We maintain a large force of experienced packers, and
only the most expert are entrusted with this work.
TERMS OF PAYMENT—Cash with order, or satisfactory reference before shipment; or, if preferred,
will ship goods with Bill of Lading attached to Sight Draft, through express or bank. On all C. O. D. and
Sight Draft orders we require 25 per cent of the bill remitted before shipment. i
PRICES—AII prices quoted are net. We offer no premiums, discounts, or gratuities. Five trees or
plants of a class will be billed at the 10 rate; 40 trees at the 100 rate; 400 at the 1,000 rate, viz.: Five Pe-
cans will be billed at the 10 rate; 40 at the 100 rate, etc.
REMITTANCES—Remittances should be made by Post Office or Express Money Orders, or by
checks on Augusta or New York. As our banks charge exchange on checks on all points except Augusta,
New York, and few large cities, please add one-fourth of 1 per cent on private checks. We cannot be
held responsible for losses when remittances are not made as directed above. Cash sent through the
mails is at sender’s yisk. Make all remittances payable to Sigmund Tarnok & Co.
WE GUARANTEE every tree or plant to be in a perfectly healthy condition, up to grade and first-
class in every respect when leaving our hands, but, after delivering to forwarders, all losses resulting
from delays or exposures in transit are at risk of purchaser.
RESPONSIBILITY—We have no connection whatever with any other nursery, and our responsibility
extends only ta persons purchasing direct from us. We are not responsible for failures arising from
defective planting, unfavorable weather conditions, or improper treatment and cultivation.
If any Nursery stock, etc., proves untrue to description under which it is sold, Seller shall be liable
to the Purchaser only and to no greater extent or amount than the purchase price of such Nursery
stock, etc., and the Seller except for the aforesaid agreed liability and in respect to such purchased
Nursery stock, etc., gives no warranty express or implied as to description, quality, productiveness or
any other matter.
ERRORS—We exercise the utmost care in filling orders, and always put in more than is ordered, but
during the rush of the busy season an error is occasionally made, and satisfactory correction will be
promptly made upon notification. Keep a copy of your order for comparison. All claims for errors must
be made within five days after receipt of goods; otherwise they will not be entertained.
SHIPPING FACILITIES—Augusta being the terminal point of seven lines of railroads, enables us to
secure low rates of freight to all points.
SHIPPING SEASON—This usually commences about the middle of October, or as soon as the plants
are sufficiently dormant to lift with safety, and for all open ground trees and plants continues until the
middle of March, ar until the buds begin to swell. Pot grown plants can be safely sent out any time of
the year.
INSECTS AND DISHASES—Our Nurseries are free from disease. Certificate of State Hntomologist is
attached to every shipment. aa
FUMIGATION—We fumigate our stock with hydrocyanic acid gas before shipping, as required by state
law, so that assurance of freedom from insects or disease of any kind is made doubly sure.

Hints to Planters
Time for Planting—In this climate, vegetation, al-
though inactive in winter for the formation of leaves
and new wood, is never so as to new roots. A tree
transplanted in the early winter will, by the ensuing
spring, have grown suff-cient new roots to give it a
firm hold in the ground, and will grow off rapidly
when active vegetation commences. Plant as early
after the first killing frost as practicable, although
hardy stock can be safely transplanted any time dur-
ing the winter when the ground is not too wet or
frozen. Planting can be continued until the middle
of March, or until just before the buds begin to
swell,
Preparation of the Soil—The most desirable soil
for fruit trees is a rich loam, naturally dry or made
so by drainage. Peaches and plums must be planted
on high, well-drained soil. Before planting, prepare
the land by thoroughly plowing and subsoiling, first
using a two-horse plow, followed by a sub-soil plow.
Lay off the rows at required distances, and dig holes
at least two feet wide and two feet deep; fill the
holes by breaking tn the sides, commencing at the
bottom and going upward. Use surface soil in fill-
ing up, and with this mix one or two shovelsful of
thoroughly decomposed barnyard manure, or use
one or two pounds of good bone meal. All fertil-
izers must be thoroughly incorporated with the soil.
Avoid the contact of the roots with heating manures.
We strongly advocate digging holes with dyna-
mite whenever feasible.
Preparation of Trees and How to Plant—Before
planting, remove the broken roots; cut back one-year
peach, apple, pear, cherry and plum trees to a naked
stem 1% to 2% feet high, leaving no side branches.
Two-year-old tree’ should have their branches cut
back to half their length or less; the lower limbs
less than those above, cutting in shorter as you go
upward, leaving the leader the longest. For pruning
peach trees, see page 8. The tree should be set
about 2 inches deeper than it stood in the nursery.
Cultivation—You cannot expect to get good results
from your trees unless you keep them well cultivated.
The soil must be frequently stirred during summer.
The area immediately around the trees must be kept
free from grass and weeds, and this portion of the
orchard should receive especial attention. All suck-
ers or branches which start below the head of the
tree should be removed. For the first two years cul-
tivate the orchard during summer in some crop suit-
ed to the location, such as cotton, vegetables, melons,
peas, peanuts, velvet or soy beans, giving the pre-
ference to leguminous crops. Never plant corn or
small grain in your orchard.
It is always advisable to sow in the fall a cover
crop, such as clover, vetch or rye, using a suitable
fertilizer. Turn under this cover crop in early
spring. When soils are deficient in lime and potash,
supply this deficiency with an application of lime,
bone meal, hardwood ashes or high grade commercial
fertilizer, as the soil requires. Satisfactory results
cannot be expected unless the orchard is supplied
pith proper plant food and receives careful cul-
tivation.
Selection of Trees—For this climate, experience has
taught us that one and two-year-old trees or thrifty
growth (except peaches, only one-year trees of which
should be planted) are the most desirable. Purchas-
ers should bear in mind that such trees can be re-
moved from the nursery with all their roots, where-
as, a four- or five-year old tree cannot be taken up
without cutting away a large portion of them. Suc-
cess in transplanting is increased according as at-
tention is paid in selecting well-rooted trees, instead
of heavily-branched ones. Give as many sound
roots and as little head to a tree as possible.
Care of the Trees on Arrival—If not ready to plant
on arrival, unpack without exposing the roots to cold
or air; dig a trench, and heel-in by carefully cover-
ing the roots with earth, and give a copious water-
ing. Trees thus treated can remain in the trenches
until ready for planting in the orchard. If frozen
when received, do not open the boxes, but place them
in a cellar or some cool, dark room that is free from
frost, and let them remain until all frost is drawn
out. If no cellar or frost-procf room, bury the box
in sawdust or dirt until thawed. The point is to get-
the frost entirely out without sudden exposure of
stock to heat, light or air. Even if frozen solid, the
stock will not be injured if handled in this manner.
Injurious Insects and Fungus Diseases
We only enumerate the most abundant and de-
structive insects and fungus diseases which infest
our orchards and gardens. The remedies as sug-
gested are in accordance with the latest recommen-
dations of the leading Entomologists.
Previous to spraying during the dormant season
all trees and plants should be properly pruned. The
proper time for applying spray solutions cannot be
given exactly in this calendar. Allowances for dif-
ference in climatic and weather conditions between
diffrent localities must be considered. The orchard-
ist should familiarize himself with the habits and
life history of the different insects and diseases, in
order that he may apply to his particular locality
and conditions the necessary measures.
APPLES
Apple Worm (Coddling Moth)—Spray with two
pounds of Standard Arsenate of Lead, three pounds
of lime to each fifty gallons of water; first, so soon
as the petals fall and before the calyx closes; second, ©
two weeks later; third, about eight weeks after the
petals fall.
When the time comes for using the third spraying,
Bordeux Mixture should be combined with one and
one-half pounds of Arsenate of Lead. The Bordeaux
Mixture (4-4-50) is used at this time to prevent Bit-
ter Rot and other fungus diseases.
Apple Tree Blight—Same treatment as recom-
mended for Pear Blight.
Bitter Rot—Use Lime-Sulphur Solution one and
one-fourth gallons, two pounds of Arsenate of Lead
to each fifty gallons of water. Spray as son as
petals fall. Give a second application of this same
mixture three or four weeks after petals fall; then
about eight weeks after petals fall use Bordeaux Mix-
ture (4-4-50)) with the addition of two pounds Arse-
nate of Lead, and repeat this latter spraying every
Dre weeks until four applications of same have been
given.
Borer—Keep orchard free from litter and examine
trees regularly for borers. Their presence will be
indicated by sawdust at the entrance of their bur-
rows. Remove, if near the surface, by means of a
knife or wire. For those that have entered to a con-
siderable depth inject, by means of medicine drop-
per, a small quantity of carbon bi-sulphide in their
excavation and seal securely with putty or wax.
Canker Worm—Encircle the tree with a canvas belt
thoroughly coated with tar; also spray with arsenate
of lead aS soon aS worms appear; two pounds of
arsenate of lead, three pounds of lime to fifty gal-
Oe of water. If necessary repeat in three or four
ays.
Caterpillar—Destroy nests as soon as they appear
in the spring by burning, or spraying with two
pounds of arsenate of lead, three pounds of lime to
fifty gallons of water.
Cedar Rust—Use seven-pounds of atomic sulphur,
two pounds of arsenate of lead to each fifty gallons
of water. Spray the trees at the same period as re-
commended for Scab.
Green or Black Aphis—Spray with Black Leaf 40 at
the rate of one part to 200 or 300 parts of water, as
soon a sthe Aphis appear.
San Jose Scale—For dormant spraying, use Thom-
sen Chemical Company’s lime-sulphur solution mixed
at the rate of one gallon to eight gallons of water.
Spray as early in the fall as trees are dormant, and
SIGMUND TARNOK & COMPANY
again later in February or early March if the or-
chard is badly infested. For summer would sug-
gest spraying with kerosene emulsion, one part of
the emulsion to five parts of water. a
Scap—Use one and one-fourth gallons of lime sul-
phur solution, two pounds of arsenate of lead to each
fifty gallons of water. Spray first, just before buds
open; second, repeat as soon as petals fall; third,
three or four weeks after petals fall; fourth, eight
weeks after petals fall.
Woolly Aphis (Schizoneura lanigera)—For above-
ground colonies, spray with Black Leaf 40, 1 part to
200 parts of water, or a tobacco decoction. The sum-
mer spray of 1% gallons of lime-sulphur to 50 gal-
lons of water will also kill them, but must be applied
with great force.
For root-inhabiting colonies, remove the soil to a
depth of about three inches, or sufficient to partially
expose the roots; open a circle from four to eight
feet in diameter, depending on the spread of the
roots; distribute three to eight pounds of tobacco
dust or use 10 per cent kerosene emulsion. Enough
emulsion should be used to saturate the soil to a
depth of three or four inches. Recent experiments
have shown that kerosene emulsion may be used with
success. Tobacco dust is of more value as a preven-
tive and fertilizer. Badly infested trees should be
treated with kerosene emulsion, applying this in
April or May, but be sure to have the stock solution
properly made or it may injure the trees.
BLACKBERRIES
Rust—Use a spray of sulphate of copper solution;
one part to fifteen gallons of water before buds
break. Use Bordeaux Mixture (4-6-50) if Rust ap-
pears in spring or summer.
GRAPES
Black Rot—Use Bordeaux Mixture (3-4-50). Spray
first, when leaves have expanded; second, just after
fruit has set; repeat every two weeks until fruit is
nearly grown.
. Borer (Prionus)—Its presence is manifested by the
unhealthy appearance of the vine, Search must be
made at the roots and the grub destroyed.
Curculio—Use Bordeaux Mixture (8-4-50) adding
two pounds of arsenate of lead. Spray, first, before
blooming; second, when fruit is about one-eighth
inch in diameter; third, about first or fifteenth of
June.
Flea Beetle—Use two pounds of arsenate of lead,
three pounds of lime to fifty gallons of water. Spray
as buds are swelling and a second time about two
weeks later.
Leaf Folder (Desmia funeralis)—Kerosene emul-
sion or paris green or arsenate of lead as a spray.
Mildew—This can be controlled by Bordeaux Mix-
ture same as recommended for Black Rot.
JAPAN PERSIMMONS, WALNUTS AND PECANS
Borer (Prionus)—These bore through the roots and
usually destroy the tree, and must be earefully re-
moved. Carefully examine collar of tree in winter
and mid-summer, and apply lime-sulphur wash.
Caterpillar (Catocala maetosa) Feeds on the
leaves of pecans, and is sometimes quite injurious.
Spray with paris green four ounces, lime one pound,
to fifty gallons of water.
Pecan Bud Worm (Proteopteryx deludana)—Spray
the trees just as the buds are opening, with arsenate
of lead, three pounds to fifty gallons of water, and
two pounds of lime, and repeat application ten days
later. If the worms appear again in June or July
repeat the treatment. This will also help control the
pecan husk borer.
Twig Girdlers (Oncideres cingulatus)—All limbs
that have been girrdled and have fallen must be
burned at once, thus destroying all future broods of
sawyers.
White Fly—One and one-half gallons of Schnarr’s
Insecticide to 100 gallons of water, or Whale-oil soap
1 to 1% ounces to 1 gallon of water, or Thomsen
Chemical Company’s lime-sulphur solution, 1 part to
25 parts of water.
PEACHES AND PLUMS
Peach Tree Borer (Sanninoidea exitiosa)—The old
method of worming peach trees in winter has been
found ineffective, principally because the worms
cause too much damage before being removed.
In the spring remove the earth from about the
body of the tree down to the crown, scraping off
gummy exudations, and carefully search for the
borer. For this work use a farrier’s knife or a tool
especially made for worming peach trees.
An excellent wash for the borers is the following:
One bushel of quicklime, 20 pounds of sulphur, 1
gallon of coal-tar, 50 gallons of water. Mix tar and
sulphur in 10 gallons of water and add lime. Stir
well while slaking. When it is entirely slaked di-
lute the above to 50 gallons, and apply this wash to
the tree, allowing it to run well down upon the roots.
As soon as it is applied, draw up the earth to the
tree so that it will form a cone about six inches
above the level. A second application of this wash
should be made during August. During the last of
October remoye the mound of earth from around the
tree and thoroughly scrape the bark, as in the spring,
and give another application of the wash, when this
is completed draw up the earth about the tree as
above recommended. This is a vigorous treatment,
but is effective in all cases.
Black Knot in Plums—Cut off the affected branches
below affected parts and burn to prevent its spread-
ing. Spray with bordeaux mixture.
Brown Rot on Peaches, Plums and Nectarines—As
Brown Rot, Curculio and Scab work together, the
same treatment is, therefore, recommended for all.
For Early and Mid-Season Varieties—First: Spray
the trees about ten days after the petals fall, when
the calyces or shucks are being pushed off, using 1%
pounds of tri-plumbic arsenate of lead and 3 pounds
of lime to each 50 gallons of water. This is for the
curculio and should be applied with a nozzle capable
of thrwing a fine spreading mist, covering the fruit
and foliage with a very thin film of poison, but un-
der no circumstances should the trees be drenched.
Second: About twenty days later, or one month
after the petals fall, spray the trees with atomic sul-
phur, 5 pounds to 50 gallons of water, or self-boiled
lime-sulphur (8-8-50). To this should be added 1%
pounds of tri-plumbie arsenate of lead, and where
arsenate of lead is used. 3 pounds of lime to each
50 gallons of the spray. This is the second treatment
for the curculio and the first treatment for scab and
brown rot.
Third: About one month before the fruit is ex-
pected to ripen, spray the trees with atomic sul-
phur, 5 pounds to each 50 gallons of water, or with
self-boiled lime sulphur. No poison should be* used
at this time, and since the application is intended to
prevent the development of brown rot during the
month preceding the ripening of the fruit and dur-
ing the picking season, the trees should be sprayed
rather heavily so as to cout the fruit on all sides.
For Late Varieties—Late varieties should be spray-
ed with an additional application of atomic sulphur
or self-boiled lime-sulphur about three weeks after
the second treatment. This extra treatment is for
the protection of the fruit from the attacks of peach
scab, to which late maturing varieties are especially
susceptible, as the interval between the second and
third treatment would be much too long without it.
Curculio—To prevent the depradation of this pest
see remedial measures under Brown Rot and Scab.
Peach and Plum Rosette—Root up and burn the
affected tree as soon as the disease is_observed.
San Jose Scale—Same treatment as recommended
for Apples.
PEARS
Pear Blight—Cut off and burn all affected limbs.
Careful pruning should be resorted to during the
winter to remove all affected limbs and affected
areas. Disinfect the pruning shears after removing
each branch or affected part. About a 4 per cent
solution of formaldehyde can be used for this pur-
pose. ;
Pear Blight is a bacterial disease and easily trans-
mitted. Write to the State Board of Entomology,
AUGUSTA, GEORGIA
Atlanta, Ga., for bulletin on Pear Blight and Its
Control; also the Bureau of Plant Industry, Dept.
of Agriculture, Washington, D. C -
San Jose Scale—Same treatment as recommended
for Apples.
PECANS
See under head of Japanese Persimons, Walnuts
and Pecans.
RASPBERRIES
Rust—Same treatment as recommended for Black-
berries.
ROSES
Anthracnose—Cut off and burn diseased parts and
spray with Bordeaux Mixture (4-6-50).
Aphis—Spray plants with a solution of sulpho-to-
bacco soap; or a 2 per cent solution of lime-sulphur;
or tobacco water, using four ounces of_tobacco-stems
to one gallon of boiling water; strain the solution
and add four ounces of soft soap while it is still hot;
stir well to dissolve the soap.
Black Leaf Forty can be used, as recommended, for
Green or Black Aphis.
Black Spot—This is a fungus disease. All diseased
leaves should be removed from the plant, and those
on the ground raked up and burned. Spray the
plants with same strength of Bordeaux as recom-
mended for mildew.
Leaf Hopper—Spray with insect powder, tobacco”
decoction or kerosene emulsion.
Mildew—This is caused by extremes of heat and
cold, or by a continuance of damp, cold weather.
Sprinkle the plants with water, and dust them with
soot, or spray with Bordeaux Mixture (8-9-50), tak-
ing care to reach the under side of the leaves as well
as the upper; also spray the ground around the
plants.
Slugs—Spray with hellebore or insect powder.
Thrips and Other Insects—Same treatment as for
Aphis.
x SHADE TREES
Leaf Eating Insects—Spray with two pounds of
arsenate of lead, three pounds of lime to each fifty
gallons of water.
San Jose Scale—Same treatment as recommended
for Apples.
West India Secale—When trees are dormant use
lime-sulphur solution as a spray, mixed one gallon
to eight of water. During the growing season use
Schnarr’s Insecticide, mixed 1% gallons to 100 gal-
lons of water.
WALNUTS
See under head of Japanese Persimmons, Walnuts
and Pecans,
Fungicide and Insecticide Solutions and Formulae
Arsenate of Lead can be used as a substitute for
paris green and london purple. It can be used much
Stronger with less danger of injury to plants. Two
pounds to fifty gallons of water give good results
against most biting insects. As a safeguard against
injury to the foliage, add three pounds of lime.
Atomic Sulphur (Thomsen’s)—The best preventive
against Brown Rot in Apples, Peaches, Plums and
other fruits.
Bordeaux Mixture—Copper Sulphate, 4 pounds:
quicklime, 6 pounds; water, 50 gallons. Dissolve the
copper sulphate by putting it in a bag and hanging
it in a wooden or earthen vessel holding 25 gallons;
slake the lime gradually and add water until you
have 25 gallons. The copper sulphate mixture and
lime should then be poured into the pump so that the
two streams will mix thoroughly as they fall. Bor-
deaux Mixture will not keep more than twenty-four
hours. Remember this.
' Copper Sulphate Solution—Dissolve 1 pound of cop-
per sulphate in 15 gallons of water. Do not apply
this solution to foliage; it must be used before buds
break on grape vines and peach trees. For the lat-
ter, use 25 gallons of water.
Kerosene Emulsion—One-half pound of soap dis-
solved in 1 gallon of water; add to this, while hot, 2
gallons of kerosene. (The boiling soap solution
should be removed from the fire before the kerosene
is added.) Churn violently with a spray pump or
garden syringe until the mass becomes of the con-
sistency of butter. Dilute the above mixture with
from 9 to 15 parts of water when using, so that it
will not be stronger than 1 part of oil to 9 to 15
parts of water. Sour milk may be used instead of
soap.
Larkin’s Sulpho-Tobaceco Soap is a universal in-
secticide. A safe and sure exterminator of all kinds
of insects and vermin on plants, shrubbery, vines,
small fruits and trees. The soap is non-poisonous
and absolutely safe to handle. It will not injure the
tenderest growth.
Lemon Oil—Plants should be dipped in a solution
of suitable strength. While it kills all scale insects,
it is not injurious to the most tender plants.
Lime-Sulphur Solution—Lime unslaked, 20 pounds;
sulphur ground 16 pounds, water to make 50 gallons.
Place 8 to 10 gallons of water in an iron kettle over
a fire, and when it reaches the boiling point, add the
sulphur and mix thoroughly; then add the lime,
which will immediately produce a violent boiling.
From time to time add a small quantity of water as
needed to prevent boiling over or burning. The sul-
phur gradually goes into solution, and the mixture,
at first thick and pasty, becomes thinner and thinner,
changing in color through several shades of yellow.
After boiling at least one and a half hours, the mix-
ture should be diluted to the proper amount by the
addition of sufficient hot water. If a suitable boiler
is not convenient, the mixture may be more econo-
pecally cooked in barrels or tanks by the use of
steam.
Thomsen Chemical Company’s Lime-Sulphur Solu-
tion is recommended for the treatment of the San
Jose scale as the lime-sulphur treatment is superior
in many ways to the other remedies.
Naphtha Soap and Nicoticide—One ounce of soap
and one-quarter ounce of Nicoticide to each gallon
of water. It is advisable to have the water at 100
degree Fahrenheit. This is an excellent spray for
red spider.
Paris Green—Actively poisonous. Add 4 ounces of
paris green, 1 pound of fresh lime, to 50 gallons of
water. Paris green and Bordeaux Mixture may be
applied together without the action of either being
weakened.
Pyrethrum—One ounce of the ‘“Bubach” powder
added to 2 gallons of cold water, for any plant used
for food, as this is non-poisonous.
Scalecide—One per cent solution of scalecide or 1
per cent prepared lime-sulphur solution will eradi-
eate red spider.
Tobacco, 1 pound; boiling water, 2 gallons; strain
when cool. It is very effective when used as a spray
against flea beetles, aphides (plant lice).
White Hellebore, 1 ounce; water, 3 gallons.
tive as a spray for rose slugs.
SPRAYING
We cannot be too emphatic in impressing on the
horticulturist to spray his fruit trees and grape vines
if he desires good fruit. Follow directions carefully
Experiments frequently result disastrously. Careless
spraying will result in loss of fruit and sometimes
the trees. Every fruit grower should purchase a
spraying apparatus; it can now be had for a small
sum. Be careful in keeping your solution continu-
ally stirred. The best time for spraying is late in
the afternoon or during cloudy weather, except with
kerosene emulsion; this should be used on bright,
shiny days.
Other scale insects, of which there are several
species, such as cherry scale, pecan scale, obscure
seale on shade trees, can be controlled during the
winter months by the use of lime-sulphur or soluble
oil, or during summer months by spraying with
kerosene emulsions or sulpho-tobacco soap.
NOTE—If your trees are infested with any insects
or fungous diseases, send infested portion to your
Experiment Station; your Htate Entomologist, or the
United States Entomologist at Washington, PD. C.

Special Southern Evergreen Lawn Grass
“Fruitland Mixture”
IF YOU WANT A BEUTIFUL LAWN THIS WINTER, TRY OUR “FRUITLAND MIXTURE”
For a number of years we have tested-many grasses to determine which ones would stand best in the
South. We have finally succeeded in obtaining one, our ‘Fruitland Mixture,’ which has given most satis-
factory resuits and we have not yet seen a better lawn grass for this section than our mixture produces.
It is composed only of such grasses as have exhibited the greatest heat and drought-resisting qualities.
These grasses are most carefully blended, resulting in a mixture that stands our hot weather better than
any evergreen lawn grass that we have been able to obtain. Of course, during periods of intense heat and
drought, the “Fruitland Mixture,” as well as all other evergreen Jawn mixtures, will burn out more or less,
During the hot, dry periods use a lawn sprinkler or hose and nozzle after sunset. Lawns are frequently
injured by using the hose and putting on the water with too great force; especially when the sun is shin-
ing. All of our seed has been re-cleaned, is strictly free from weeds, and of high germination. During
prolonged droughts it pays to water daily instead of only periodically. Grass, when artificially watered,
requires that this be repeated regularly.
HOW TO MAKE A LAWN. The ground must be first thoroughly prepared by being plowed as deep as
possible, and then sub-soiled; harrowed, and all stones removed. If the area cannot be plowed, then spade
it up carefully and thoroughly. Apply a liberal amount of thoroughly rotted stable manure, turn this un-
der and harrow. If this is not available then use sterilized sheep manure at the rate of 1,000 pounds to the
acre, or 500 to 800 pounds of bonemeal; rake in well and level off the ground. When the surface has been —
raked perfectly smooth, the seed should be sown broadcast at the rate of 60 to 75 pounds to the acre (2
space 210 x 210 feet). Rake lightly, thoroughly covering the seed, then roll. If the space is too small for
rolling, or if you do not possess or cannot procure a roller, firm the soil with a plank. When the weather is
very hot and dry, do not mow the lawn as frequently or as losely as when weather conditions are more ~
favorable. A light reseeding on established laws each Autumn will take care of the bare spots and will in-
sure a good, substantial turf. By following these directions, no trouble should be experienced in obtaining
and keeping a perfect lawn.
NOTE—'The best period for making a lawn is from September to December. The earlier in the fall the
better. Never attempt to make a lawn during very dry or very windy weather.

Apples
Clay or clay loam is the best soil for growing
Apples. The land should be plowed well and deep
before setting the trees. It should, of course, be
well drained and kept thoroughly cultivated. Too
much emphasis cannot be put on the importance of
drainage; recent investigation has shown that a
surplus of water in the orchard produces fruit of an
inferior quality and flavor. The expense of tilling
or ditching is not to be compared with the profits
that are derived from an orchard that is properly
drained and cultivated.
Plant Apple trees 25 to 40 feet apart, each way, ac-
eording to soil.

Peaches
Directions for Cultivating—A sandy loam is best suited to the Peach, but it will adapt itself to almost
any soil, provided it is well drained. Plant June buds or one-year-old trees 18x18 feet; cut the trees back to
18 to 24 inches, as it always best to have a low-headed tree. In the spring, after the growth has started, re-
move all but three branches and let these be @istributed so that the tree will be well balanced. For the first
two years fertilize with well-decomposed barnyard manure, or a mixture of one part of cotton seed or bone
meal to two part of acid phosphate. Apply 144 to 2 pounds to each tree. After the third year, avoid nitro-
genous fertilizers and use a fertilizer containing a good percentage of bone phosphate and potash and a
small percentage of nitrogen.
Prune every year by cutting off one-third of the previous year’s growth. The
head of the tree should be broad and open, so as to allow free circulation of light and air.
Never plant
newly cleared woodlands; such lands should be cultivated for at least two years before setting the trees,
otherwise wood-lice will injure them.
In preparing orchard land, plow as deeply as possible and then subsoil. Dig holes 2 feet square, or, better
yet, use dynamite for making the holes.
Cowpeas, soy beans or velvet beans are excellent crops for planting
between the trees; it is best to drill-in two feet apart, leaving four or more feet on each side of the trees,
so as to have ample room for cultivation.

Cultivate frequently, and in the late fall or early winter turn
When the orchard begins to bear it should have clean cultivation, but as soon as the
fruit is harvested drill in peas for a cover-crop and turn this under as above directed.

If grown in sandy soil, coarse manure or litter should be worked into the soil.
Mulching is of

Pecans
Where soil and climatic conditions are proper, it has been practically demonstrated that Pecan-growing
is a paying investment; but only grafted or budded trees of well-known and meritorious varieties should be
planted, and these varieties should have the following qualifications: Large size, good flavor, thin shell,
easy-cracking quality, and freedom from disease; furthermore, the purchaser should know that the trees are
propogated from grafts or buds taken from good, bearing trees.
It is a well-established fact that some varieties of Pecans, the same as with other fruits, are adapted to
certain localities, whereas the same varieties are not so good in other localities. It is not yet known which
variety is adapted to the greatest number of localities. There are scores of varieties now cultivated and new
sorts are being advertised every year, but a half-dozen of the best tested and well-known sorts would be
amply sufficient for any commercial grower.
Pecans should be planted from 50 to 60 feet apart, according to soil, but this must be good; although
the Pecan adapts itself to a great variety of soils—the rich alluvial soil of the river bottom and high land
of the sandy pine levels. The Pecan grows well on sandy land having a clay sub-soil, but it will not
flourish in deep sand. “Never set a Pecan in pipe eliy land, or that which is not well drained. If the land
sours the tree will die or will be so badly injured that it will never give satisfactory results. If you expect
10
>
AUGUSTA, GEORGIA
to get good results from your Pecans the trees must receive the proper care and attention as to cultivation,
fertilization and pruning. If you do not propose to follow these directions better leave Pecans alone.
The best time for transplanting Pecans is just as soon as the trees are thoroughly matured in the fall,
and the transplanting can be safely done until March. The land between the rows can be planted for
several years in Cotton, Peas, Potatoes, Melons or any hoed crop. Never plant small grain in the Pecan
orchard. When the trees have reached the bearing stage it is advisable to plant a cover crop of Peas, Soy
Beans, Vetch, or Clover, and turn these under at the proper time.
The Pecan is long lived. Budded and grafted trees, if given the proper attention will begin to bear 5
years after being set out, but paying results cannot be expected of the trees before 8 years of age. A 10
year old tree should produce from 15 to 20 pounds of nuts.
For fungus diseases and insects injurious to the Pecan, see page 4.
Directions for Handling and Transplanting Pecans
Take great care in preventing the roots of trees from becoming dry by being exposed to the weather.
Keep the roots moist and covered at all times. When taking the trees to the field for setting, they must be
carefully covered with moss, wet sacks or something similar, to protect them from drying out. This is im-
portant. Only one tree should be removed at a time, and this set at once in the hole previously dug. The
hole must be at least two feet wide and of proper depth. Cut off the ends of all bruised or broken roots.
Use a sharp knife for this; do not use an axe or hatchet. It has been practically demonstrated that it is
advisable to cut off a part of the tap-root, as this causes the roots to throw out laterals. This will allow
the tree to receive food, and at the same time affordsit a firmer hold upon the land. Place the tree in the hole
about two inches deeper than it originally stood in the nursery row; fill the hole about half full with well
pulverized top soil in which there is a proper proportion of well-rotted stable manure, If this is not avail-
able, use the proper amount of high-grade fertilizer or bone meal. This must also be thoroughhly mixed
with the sow.
Pack the earth well about the roots of the tree, the firmer the better. Fill up the hole and pack the dirt
well, but leave at least two inches of loose soil on top. If the soil is very dry, some water should be
poured about the tree when the hole is partly filled. When the trees are more than four to five feet in
height, the top should be cut back to within four feet of the ground. Do this after the tree is planted. Be
eareful not to break the eyes off the tree in handling. Keep them well cultivated and properly pruned.
Excellent results are obtained in planting Pecans with dynamite—one-half pound of dynamite placed
2 feet below the level is ample.
All trees are budded or grafted on thrifty two and three year seedlings, and are, therefore, very hardy
and satisfactory.

Raspberries
Cultural Directions—The same as for Blackberries
and Dewberries. These thrive best in a deep, moist,
well drained soil; the lighter loams are best for the
red, and the heavy loams for the blackcaps. To make
a success of Raspberries, the land should be able to
withstand drought, well. Cottonseed meal, pure
ground bone, or fertilizers containing a good pro-
portion of potash are best and should be liberally
applied during the winter and early spring. To get
the best results and keep the plants in vigorous con-
dition, they must be mulched heavily with straw.

Olives
Picholine Olives were quite extensively cultivated
on the coast of Georgia and South Carolina, pre-

producing fruit which is use quite successfully for
pickling. There is no reason why this industry
should not be revived.
A peculiarity of the Olive is that it flourishes and
bears abundant crops on rock and barren soils,
where no other fruit trees are successful.

Deciduous Shrubs
It is seldom that a home in the country, suburb or town cannot be improved in appearance and greatly
enhanced in value by the judicious treatment of the grounds, irrespective of size; and for this purpose
many flowering shrubs lend themselves most admirably. Shrubbery, properly planted and massed, is most
effective in bringing out certain features of the lawn, to screen some unsightly building or object, or to
break the outline of foundation walls.
Along the drive, the walk or the edge of the lawn, borders of shrubs may be planted that will give a
succession of bloom from early spring until frost. Even after the leaves have dropped, the brilliant berries
and branches of many varieties add cheer and color to the winter landscape. Frequently one finds a spot
that suggest the use of an individual specimen—in such a case a variety should be selected that will de-
velop symmetrically.
In addition to the shrubs that are best adapted to the various sections of the South we grow many of
the hardier kinds suited to the colder sections of the North and North-West.
PLANTING AND CULTIVATING SHRUBS
The same directions for the preparation of the soil and planting as given for deciduous trees on
page 3 apply to the average deciduous shrub. We cannot, however, too strongly emphasize the necessity of
keeping the ground free from weeds and grass, and loose by frequent stirring, after being planted.
Do not fail to properly prune your shrubs as soon as planted. The success of your plants depends
upon proper pruning. All deciduous shrubs should be pruned annually. The tops and branches should be
eut back one-third or one-half if necessary; all dead branches and weak growth should be removed, and
care must be exercised not to cut off the blooming wood. All shrubs that flower on the previous year’s
growth should not be pruned until June or July, or after the blooming period has passed. To this class
belong the Althaeas, Cydonias, Deutzias, Forsythias, Philadelphus, Spiraea, ete. Do not fail to fertilize
your shrubs at least once a year.

Deciduous Trees
The intelligent tree planter readily appreciates the difference in value between a tree dug in the forest
and one taken from our nursery where it has received proper care during the first years of its life.
The one
is tall, slender and with only a small top; the other is sturdy, with well-developed trunk and a top that is
a promise of its future beauty and usefulness as a shade tree.
All of our trees have been transplanted
several times and plenty of room for development allowed in the row. The root-system is perfect, and,
when our nursery-grown trees are properly set and pruned, there should be no loss.
Directions for Planting and Pruning.
Before setting out, cut off the broken or bruised roots, should
there be any. Trees with branching heads should have the smaller branches cut
out, and the larger
branches cut back to within three or four buds of their base; but, when a tree has an abundance of roots,
and a small top, and few branches, then the pruning need not be so severe.

When the hole is nearly filled, pour in a bucket of water, so
as to set the soil around the roots, then fill in the balance of the hole and press the dirt gently with the
foot.
When the tree is planted, if the ground is very dry, it should be sprinkled at evening
morning. This will keep the bark tender and when rooted the sap will flow easily.

Aleurites
(Candle Nut)
Aleurites Fordii. The Tung Oil or Wood Oil Tree of
China. A medium-sized tree indigenous to central
China; reaches a height of 20 to 30 feet, with a
spread of 25 to 30 feet. The rather large, pinkish
white flowers, which appear in large numbers in
April, with the broad, handsome, green leaves fol-
lowing, make the tree a valuable ornamental. It
thrives best in well-drained sand-clay loams. The
tree is reported to live to the age of 30 years or
more. The apple-like fruits contain several large
nut-like seeds which yield the valuable tung oil or
18
China wood oil of commerce, used extensively in
paints and varnishes. Commercial plaintings should
be confined to cheap lands, as the probable yield of
oil will not pay for the use of more valuable ones.
Experimental plantings of this tung tree have been
started in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and South
Carolina. It is quite distinct from the Candlenut
Tree (Aleurites moluccana), in being hardier and
deciduous. This tree is becoming very popular as
an ornamental. It is perfectly hardy at Augusta.

Broad-Leaved Evergreens
We can supply large specimen plants of many varieties of Broad-leaved Evergreens described’in this
catalogue. Descriptions, prices and sizes will be given to prospective purchasers. All of our plants are
most carefully grown, frequently transplanted, pruned and given plenty of space; therefore the plants
which are offered are stately, vigorous and healthy.
Many of our evergreens are grown in pots, thereby increasing safety in transplanting. In fact, it is im-
possible to transplant some varieties of Broad-leaved Evergreens which have been grown in open ground;
therefore, to make the transplanting of these particular varieties assured, we grow them in pots.
Nearly all plants which are taken from the open ground are lifted’ with a ball of earth about the roots.
This is wrapped in moss, excelsior or burlap. When transplanting evergreens which have a ball of earth
about the roots wrapped in burlap, it is not necessary to remove this burlap. Place the plant to the right
depth in the properly prepared hole; cut the string so that the burlap can be released from about the ball
of earth around the roots of the plant. It is not necessary to remove the burlap from the hole, but when
the ball of earth about the roots of the plant is wrapped in moss or excelsior this wrapping must be care-
fully removed. The earth about the roots should not be disturbed. When the hole has been half-filled
with earth, pour in water freely, but not so as to wash the soil from about the roots of the plant. After the
water has settled put in more dirt, firm this well about the roots of the plant, and then fill up the hole.
In transplanting broad-leaved evergreens the soil should be properly prepared and holes of ample size
dug and rich top soil put in instead of fertilizer. Do not fertilize the plant unfil it has been set out one
year and has become well rooted. Fertilizing should be done between November and March. Should ball
of earth apoue the roots of board-leavyed evergreens fall away, then the plant must be defoliated and prop-
erly pruned.
Even when the ball of earth about the roots of plants remains intact it is advisable to prune severely
and defoliate such plants as Abelia, Cerasus Caroliniana, Camphor, Citrus Fruits, Cotoneaster, Crataegus,
Blaeagnus, Ilex, Laurocerasus, Ligustrums, Neriums, Photinia, Quercus.
It is advisable to place a mulching of well-rotted leaves to a depth of 4 to 6 inches about the plants, as
this mulching conserves the moisture in the soil, and protects the roots from the sudden changes of temper-
ature. In the summer the mulching prevents drying out of the soil, and in winter prevents freezing.
We are beginning to appreciate more and more the effect attained. by a proper plating and selection of
Brond-leaved HWyvergreens. We are particularly fortunate in being able to grow. in this favored locality such
a large collection of them. We can successfully grow in this section many kinds which are not hardy in
the far North, and we bring to perfection a large portion of the hardy northern Hvergreens also. A judi-
cious selection of varieties, with the proper planting arrangement of Evergreen trees and shrubs, gives to
the winter aspect of our home grounds a warm and cheerful effect.
Certain varieties must be planted in the proper situation and given specially prepared soil; otherwise
they ae give satisfactory results. We will gladly suggest or recommend the best varieties for certain
soil and localities.
All Broad-leaved Evergreens are pot-grown unless otherwise stated.

This beautiful piant is not sufficiently appreciated.
When in the open ground it gives the best results
when planted in a shaded situation, in a somewhat
moist, though rich, well drained soil. This genus
contains both male and female plants. If the latter
are planted near the male plants they will produce
a profusion of red berries which makes them very
attractive. Aucubas are especially desirable for city
gardens when same are exposed to smoke. These
plants are also largely used for vases, urns and win-

These beautiful shrubs are perfectly hardy in the
open in this latitude. Some varieties of the Indian
Azaleas are hardy in the mountain sections also, but
to get the best results, Azaleas should be planted in
a somewhat shaded situation, especially where they
are protected from the hot, afternoon sun of summer.
The best soil is one containing an abudance of
leaf mold, peat and sand, but soil should be well
drained. Azaleas will not succeed in limestone soil.
The plants must be kept well mulched with rotted
leaves, preferably leaves of hardwood trees. When
planted in masses of solid, well-contrasting colors,
the effect is most pleasing.
If the plants are grown in pots, they should be
re-potted after flowering and before the new growth
begins. Keep the plants’ sheltered for a few days,
and then plunge the pots in the open ground in a
shady situation, or they may be planted in an open
border and kept shaded.
If the plants are required for winter blooming in
the conservatory, they should be lifted. and repotted
befere very cold weather and kept in a cool green-
house. By judiciously selecting the varieties, a con-
tinuous supply of flowers may be had from January
until May.
We offer several thousand Heme-grown Indian
Azaleas in about 50 varieties of the sizes as described
above. In the varieties with single flowers we offer
all shades of crimson, scarlet, purple, salmon, white,
and many exquisitely variegated, mottled and striped
varieties. In the varieties with double flowers we
SIGMUND TARNOK & COMPANY
can only supply two double whites. All our plants
are grown in open ground during summer and lifted
and potted in October when they are thoroughly
matured. In this latitude it is best to plant Azaleas
in open ground in March and April, but southward
they can be safely planted from October until April.
Azaleas are liable to attacks of red spider and
thrips, especially if the plants suffer from want of
proper watering. Daily syringing of plants kept
under glass will aid in eradicating these pests, as
also will a spray of sulpho-tobacco soap.
A well-fed, well-tended and well-pruned Azalea
need never grow scraggy and misshapen with age,
but should become more beautiful every year as its
increasing spread of branches gives room for the
display of myriads more of flowers. Those who
grow Azaleas in the house should remember that the
flowers will last much longer if the plants are kept
in a cool-room after they have expanded.
Azalea Kaempferi. (Japanese Azalea). A beautiful
variety recently introduced by the Horticultural
Collector, Mr. BE. H. Wilson. This beautiful Jap-
anese shrub is very floriferous. Perfectly hardy
at Boston, Mass. This is a most desirable addi-
tion to our collection of evergreen azaleas. We

CULTIVATION OF CAMELLIAS
For Open Ground. To get the best results Camel-
lias should be planted in a partially shaded situa-
tion, especially where protected from the cold winds
of winter and the hot, afternoon sun of summer.
Any good garden soil is suitable, but if mixed with
leaf mold and well-rotted cow manure better results
will be obtained. The plants should be kept thor-
oughly mulched with well-rotted leaves. In this
section the best time to transplant Camellias is from
early October until middle of November, and from
middle of February to end of March.
For Conservatories—Use a potting compost of peat
or leaf-mold and good loam, and give ample drain-
age. When in growth, they require an abudance of
water spraying of the foliage. When dormant, water
sparingly and keep in cool temperature. Fire heat
is not needed except during excessively cold weather
which would injure distending buds. Dropping of
buds is caused by plants drying out, or by over-
watering, or being kept in high temperature under
glass.

Cinnamomum Camphora. (Laurus Camphora). (Cam-
phora officinalis). (Camphor Tree). This desir-
able and beautiful tree is hardy at Augusta. Along
the Atlantic and Gulf Coast it is largely used as a
shade tree for street and avenue planting. In Flo-
rida the Camphor is’ now being extensively and
successfully planted for the extraction of gum.
The tree is of a very rapid and stately growth;
leaves bright, glossy green. The young growth is
very attractive, as it tinged with red, which gives
a most striking and pleasing effect. The Camphor
will do well on poor soil, but will give a most sa-
tisfactory egrowth when properly fertilized and
when grown on well-drained soil. It does not
thrive in wet situations. In transplanting, both
the pot-grown and open ground plants should
have their side branches cut back and the plants
defoliated ; otherwise loss is apt to ensue.

Amoor River Privet, and it is without doubt the
most popular eyergreen hedge plant of the day.
It is of rapid-growth, adapted itself to almost any

NOTE—To save freight, we always cut back Amoor
River Privet before shipping, unless instructed to the
contrary. This also avoids the possoibility of the
plants heating, should there be delay in transit.
How to Make a Privet Hedge—Prepare the ground
by plowing or spading to the proper width and
depth. Open the trench 12 inches wide by 15 inches
deep. Apply to this a liberal amount of well-rotted
stable manure, and if this is not available, bone meal
or some high grade fertilizer. Mix the manure or
fertilizer thoroughly with the soil. Set the plants in
a straight line in the trench one foot apart, about
one inch deeper than they originally stood in the
nursery row. Firm the earth well about the roots,
level off, and then cut the plants back to within four
inches of the ground. In the spring, after the plants
have made a growth of six or eight inches, cut off
one-half of this growth, buth side and top, and pro-
ceed in a like manner with each succeeding growth
until your hedge has reached the desired height and
width. Cultivate well.

Coniferous Evergreens
Evergreens are always in favor for landscape work, their deep green foliage making a strong back-
ground for the brilliant colors of summer; but it is in winter, when the northern landscape is barren of
color and foliage, and the beauty of the southern greatly lessened, that they are most appreciated, the ab-
sence of other colors tending to bring out their beauty of form in a most striking manner.
It is an undisputed fact that at Fruitland Nurseries we grow the largest and most varied stock of coni-
ferous evergreens in the southern states, and especially do we give attention to such varieties as are best
adapted to this warmer climate. In our collection of Thuya, Cupressus, Chamaecyparis, Juniperus, etc., may
be found many rare and yaluable specimens. We also grow large quantities of the hardier varieties,
adapted to the northern part of the country. ‘
Our conifers are grown in the most careful and scientific manner. Nearly all of the open-ground plants
have been grown one year in pots and then in the open ground, and are afterward several times transplant-
ed. Therefore we can offer to our patrons plants with excellent root-system. Many varieties of conifers
are grown in the open during the summer, lifted in the early fall and potted, and, before being shipped
plants have already started new roots. All plants, both from open ground and pots, are shipped with a
pall of earth around the roots, which is wrapped in burlap or moss.
DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING CONIFERS
Place the plant in the properly prepared hole; cut the string, so that the burlap can be released from
about the ball of the plant, and plant in the same manner as instructions given under head of Broad-leayed
Kevergreens. Keep the plants well watered and mulched. The best seasons for transplanting are from No-
vember to December, and from February to March, but in the lower sections, where the ground does not re-
main frozen during the winter, planting can be successfully done any time when the ground is in proper
condition. We have a superb lot of shapely plants of many varieties of conifers. These are from ten to
twenty years of age, and have been several times sheared and transplanted. Those desiring immediate effect
will secure it by using the above-mentioned specimens. The prices vary from $5.00 to $100.00 each accord-
ing to size. Prices of SPECIMEN CONIFERS given on request.

Roses
All of the roses described in this catalogue have been thoroughly tested. We try out annually all of
the leading new sorts, many of which will never appear in our catalogue, as they failed to measure up to
our standard. Before sending roses to our clients we must be assured that the are good growers and free
bloomers. Of course, some roses will give better results in certain localities than others, and some of the
forcing roses will not stand in open ground, and vice-versa. Strong, field-grown roses have always been
one of our specialties. For many years our roses have been noted for their sturdiness and unsual vigor.
Roses grown at Augusta are giving splendid results in Canada and other cold sections.
Our soil is especially adapted to developing the rose properly. Our one-year, field-grown plants e(ual
the average two-year, field grown plants of the North and West. All of our roses are grown on own roots.
No garden, it matters not how small, is complete without roses, and every landscape scheme should be
provided with a place for the rose.
DIRECTIONS FOR GROWING ROSES
Soil and Preparation of Same—The rose will adapt itself to almost any well-drained soil, but will give
best results when planted in a good, rich, deep loam which has been thoroughly drained and well fertilized:
If, however, the soil is thin and sandy it is advisable to add a good proportion of heavy soil. It is best to
plant roses in an open, sunny place where the plants will be exposed to a full light. Never plant roses un-
der large trees or where the ground is taken up by the roots of adjacent trees. You can never expect to
get good results unless the ground is kept free from grass and weeds and thoroughly cultivated. A mulch-
ing of straw, leaf mold, leaves, or thoroughly rotted cow manure is beneficial. During the growing season
it is advisable to fertilize roses from to time, using bone meal, well-rotted cow manure or liquid manure,
apply a intervals of a month or six weeks. So soon as the fertilizer is applied it should be worked into
the soil.
Never use a spade in rose bed, but use a digging fork, this is less likely to cause injury to the roots.
After the beds have been cultivated, rake the surface smooth and even. Frequent stirring of the surface is
beneficial. A top dressing of hardwood ashes is excellent.
Planting—We cannot emphasize too greatly the necessity of pruning all roses before transplanting. All
weak growth should be cut out, leaving only the stoutest and most vigorous shoots, and these must be cut
back to within 3 to 6 inches of the ground. Of course, the length to which these branches are to be cut
back depends upon the vigor of the plant. The hole in which the plants are to be set must be of ample size.
Place the plant in the hole about 1 inch deeper than it stood in the nursery row, provided it is on its own
roots. Budded roses should have the budded portion set 2 to 3 inches below the level. Fill the hole half-
full of soil, pour in water, let this settle, put in some more earth, firm this well about the roots, then fill in
the hole and firm when the job is completed.
Water the plants whenever needed, and keep the soil well cultivated.
Pruning—This should not be done too early in the winter in this section. We have found from experi-
ence that if roses are trimmed before January 1st, they sometimes, during warm winters, start an early
growth, and consequently the plants are killed by the heavy frosts in February. About two-thirds of the
past year’s growth should be cut off, and all of the small, weak shoots and all decayed wood ecut out.
When pruning cut close to an eye or to the main stem of the plant. Do not leave ragged or jagged stems,
as these decay and injure the plants. The more vigorous the variety the less it should be pruned. Climb-
ing roses should have only their side branches shortened in. Do not disturb the main stem.
Note—The pruning directions in the above paragraph refer to roses which have been planted more than
a year.
We frequently receive complaints from our patrons who order late in the spring. They state that the
flowers produced are inferior and do not come up to description. It should be understood that perfect flow-
ers cannot be had when the plants are set out late in February or March, and which produce blooms be-
fore they are well established. But if these plants are allowed to grow until the following fall and receive
the proper treatment as to pruning, fertilization and cultivation, there will be no cause for complaint.
