FIGS 
Fig-culture is most successful in the southern end of Louisiana, Alabama, 
Mississippi, Georgia, and all of Florida, although plantings as far North as 
Huntsville have brought good results. They do not require extreme cultiva- 
tion, and all cultivation should be shallow, for the roots run near the surface. 
Price, 20 cts. each, SI. 75 for IO ; 
Brown Turkey. Medium size ; brown ; very 
sweet ; very prolific and hardy. Is reliable 
farther north than most of the other sorts. 
Blue Genoa. Medium size; bluish black. 
Sweet and tender. 
Celestial. Medium to small ; pale violet, 
with delicate bloom ; sweet, excellent quality. 
For all round use the best and the hardiest. 
Lemon. Medium to large ; yellow ; sweet. 
A profuse and early bearer ; very desirable. 
NUT TREES 
ALMONDS 
Extremely unreliable north of Florida. We grow a few of the fine soft- 
shelled sorts for a small demand. 
Price, 25 cts. each, $2 for 10 
CHESTNUTS 
Price, 25 cts. each, $2 for 10; 5 to 
American Sweet. The well-known variety 
of the forest ; sweet ; good. While the nuts 
are small they are of the finest quality and 
very tender. 
7 feet, 40 cts. each, S3. 50 for 10 
Spanish. Nuts very large; not as sweet 
as the American, but a better seller, because 
of its size. Bears very young. Strong, rapid 
grower. Valuable for shade. 
WALNUTS 
Price, 25 cts. each, S2 for 10 
Black. Planted particularly for its possi- 
bilities in timber, though the nuts are of good 
value and “help out” while the trees are 
making the timber growth. 
English. The Madeira nut of commerce. 
Many large orchards of these trees have been 
planted in the South, with exceptionally good 
results. 
Japan. Nuts are borne in clusters ; bears 
very young and is very productive. A fine 
appearing tree, valuable as an ornamental. 
Easily transplanted, easy to grow; very hardy. 
We do not aim to be the lowest-priced house in the country, but we do aim to give our 
customers the best stock possible to produce — none better at any price — and our prices are as 
low as this grade of stock can be sent out for by any reputable firm.
