Soathern Narsery Company, Winchester, Tenn. 
The iiccan is by far the better nut of them all, yet it will 
be seen from those figures that the importation of inferior 
nuts from foreign coiuitrics is many times greater than the 
production of pecans in this country, and that many millions 
of dollars in money are sent out of our country annually for 
nuts of (lirforent Idnds, and that our exportation of nuts Is 
very small. These figures should convince any one of the 
Importance of growing at least enough pecans to supply 
our own country. 
These Xurseries were cstabli.siied iii 1872, and from 
a small plautin;; have been enlorsed until now they 
cover an area of 1,000 acres. Our business has steadily 
grown until we now have an established trade equalled 
by no other Nursery in tlie South. Our Nurseries are in 
the mountains of Tennessox>, 40 miles tMrth of Hunts- 
vllle, Alabama, whete the soil and climate produce Nur- 
sery Stock of the highest grade, unsuri>assed and seldom 
equalled in th'riftiness and healthfulncsS. Peach Yellows, 
Rosetta, Root-knot and other di.seases are unknown in 
this section, and the Sim Jose scale has never been 
known to e.xist here. 
It is with pardonable pride that we refer to our large 
plant and our facilities for doing business, which are 
the result of clo.se application and a desire to please our 
custoniei-s. Our packing grounds are upon the line of 
the N. C. & St. Ij. R. R. .'V side track runs into our pack- 
ing grounds, ar^ we load directly into the cars. 
In thanking our friends and customers for their pat- 
ronage in the past, we wish to say that we shall endeavor 
to merit its continuance by giving the same careful atten- 
tion to every branch of the business that we have in the 
past.
