To Our Patrons 
mHESE Nurseries were established in 1872, and from a small 
planting have been enlarged until now they cover an 
I^ ^S I area of over 600 acres. Our business has steadily grown 
VSsSf until we now have an established trade equaled by no 
other Nursery in the South. Our Nurseries are in the mountains 
of Tennessee, 40 miles north of Huntsville, Ala., where the soil and 
climate produces Nursery stock of the highest grade, unsurpassed 
and seldom equaled in thriftiness and healthfulness. Peach yellows, 
rosetta, root-knot and other diseases are unknown in this section, 
and the San Jose scale has never been known to exist here. 
It is with pardonable pride that we refer to our large plant and 
our facilities for doing business, which are the result of close appli- 
cation and a desire to please our customers. In 1900 we purchased 
another farm lying one mile South of Winchester and established 
our packing grounds upon the line of the N. C. & St. L. R. R. A 
side track runs into our packing grounds and we load directly into 
the cars. 
In thanking our friends and customers for their patronage in 
the past, we wish to say that we shall endeavor to merit the con- 
tinuance of same by giving the same careful attention to every 
branch of the business that we have in the past.
