SPECIAL NOTICE. 
Our prices are low considering the grade 
of trees we sell. On comparing our trees 
with those grown crowded together in seed 
bed, without transplanting, 4 or 5 feet 
high—mere switches, drawn up; because of 
this condition, a large percentage of them 
die on being planted in the orchard. Our 
trees are 311 transplanted before budding, 
are given room to grow, making strong 
stocky trees, well rooted and in condition 
to bear transplanting in orchard without 
injury to the trees. They should all grow 
if properly planted. Our customers who 
have planted both grades of trees will en- 
dorse this statement. 
NELSON’S ANNULAR BUDDING 
ENIFE, for budding Pecan trees, $3.50 
each. Postage 4c. extra. 
THE GREAT GRIP NUT SHELLER.— 
A perfect sheller with a light spring ac- 
tion that works easier than a_ ticket 
punch—that squeezes just so far and no 
farther, and compels a neat, workmanlike 
job—that opens the shell ten times more 
scientifically than any other device or 
plan in existence. Manufactured in the 
highest art style—drop forged, carbon 
steel, dental nickel finish, and handles that 
perfectly fit the smallest hand. Price, 
$1.50; postage 10c. extra, in this superb 
finish, and at $5.00, by express only, for 
the de luxe silver finish in the specially 
designed art case to match. 
PERFECTION PECAN AND NUT 
CRACKER.—Fasten to a table, desk, chair, 
or any convenient place, placing the nut in 
the fixed pocket with one hand, give sharp 
tap with finger of other hand on end of the 
handle bar, causing movable head to tighten 
quickly against nut; as it begins to crack 
give handle a quick turn forward, the shell 
bursts immediately at the center, loosen- 
ing the meat so as to be easily removed 
unbroken. <A few trials will show you just 
what pressure is necessary and enable you 
to crack nuts perfectly. Price, $2.00. 
; Same as above, to be used by hand only, 
$775. 
Walnut Trees. 
ENGLISH WALNUTS. 
Nuts $1.00 per pound; by mail 10c. extra. 
JAPANESE WALNUTS.—Jagians Japon- 
ica Cordiformis.—Another variety of Japan- 
ese fruit, the trees of which will bear here 
as well as the above mentioned Chestnut. 
The fruit is nearly the size of the English 
Walnut, heart-shaped, and, although hard 
shelled, is very easy to open. The seed 
which we offer is of our own importation. 
Price, $1.00 per pound; by mail, 10c. extra; 
trees at $1.00 each. 
GRAPES. 
Cultural Directions.—There is scarcely a 
yard so small, either in country or city, 
that room for one to a dozen or more 
grape vines cannot be found. They do ad- 
mirably if trained up to the side of any 
building, or along the garden fences, oc- 
cupying but little room and furnishing an 
abundance of the healthiest of fruit. 
Make the soil mellow, and plant the vines 
somewhat deeper than they stood in the 
nursery. Plant about 8 feet apart, by the 
fence or building. For vineyards, make 
rows 8 feet apart, 6 to 10 feet in rows. 
Paper bags slipped over the clusters as 
soon as they have formed are a good pro- 
tection from fungus, insects, birds, etc. 
Have some select varieties for the table 
and for making wine. The following is a 
list of them, viz: 
CAMPBELL’S EARLY.—A new, very 
large and fine early grape; black. Strong, 
vigorous, hardy vine with thick, healthy 
leaves; clusters very large, usually 
shouldered, compact and handsome; berries 
large, nearly round, black, rich, sweet, 
very good; skin thin; seeds few and small, 
parting easily from the pulp; a_ good 
shipper. Ripens very early, but remain 
sound on the vines for many weeks. This 
makes it one of the most satisfactory and 
profitable market sorts to grow. 50c. each. 
CONCORD.—Blue-black berries of large 
size, and in large bunches; covered with 
bloom; flesh pulpy, sweet, tender; excellent. 
Vigorous grower and very prolific. Ripens 
in July. Desirable for nearby markets, 
but too tender for long shipments. 25c. 
each, $2.50 per dozen. 
CYNTHIANA.—Very much like the Con- 
cord. Price, 25c. each, $2.50 per dozen. 
DELAWARE.—Berries small, reddish or 
pink, skin very thin; pulp sweet, juicy, 
vinous; quality best. Bunches medium. 
One of the best for Florida and the Gulf 
Coast country. Price, 25c. each, $2.50 per 
dozen. 
GOETHE.—Light pink, very fine for table 
use. It is the best of the Rogers’ hybrids. 
Price, 25¢c. each, $2.50 per dozen. 
HEREEMONT (McKee). — The most 
popular and successful red or purple grape 
in the South, excellent for table and wine. 
McKee is identical with it. 25c. 
each, $2.50 per dozen. ; 
IVES.—Berries small, skin red or pink, 
very thin; juicy, sweet, vinous; quality ex- 
cellent. Bunches medium. Ripens July. 
One of the best in the South. Price, 25c. 
each, $2.50 per dozen. 
MOORE’S EARLY.—Large size and very 
early, good for table use. Price, 25c. each, 
$2.50 per dozen. 
NORTON’S VIRGINIA.—An unfailing 
never rotting red grape of fine quality. 
Price, 25c. each, $2.50 per dozen. 
WIAGARA.—The Niagara Grape is the 
best of the white variety. The bunches are 
large, transparent -white, very sweet and 
delicious in flavor. This is one of the best 
table grapes, but will answer also for wine 
making. 25c. each, $2.50 per dozen. 
SCUPPERNONG.—The Bronze Scupper- 
nong Grapes are native of the South, and 
bear well here. In Mississippi, Alabama 
and Florida, Scuppernong Grapes are large- 
ly planted for preserving and wine making; 
they are excellent for the latter purpose, 
and will make as good wine as Missouri. 
Price, 
The vines should not be trimmed. 1 year 
old, 30c. each; 3 year old, 75c. each. 
TRIUMPH.—This is a late variety; 
bunches very large, golden when fully ripe; 
fine as best foreign, and sell equally well; 
melting pulp, small seeds, vigorous as 
Concord, of which it is a hybrid seedling. 
Rarely it rots; stands pre-eminently at the 
head as a late table grape. Price, 25c. 
each, $2.50 per dozen. 
All of our Apple, Apricot, Peach, Pear, Plum and Persimmon Trees are 4 to 6 feet high 
and are Well Grown and Very Fancy Stock.
