THE SOUTH'S OLDEST NURSERY 
9 
Fruitland Grown Trees for Shade and Flower 
“1 Think I Shall Never See a Poem as Lovely as a Tree” 
F ruitland nurseries, realizing 
that here in the South it is almost im¬ 
perative that we have shade trees, 
grows an unusually large variety. Cer¬ 
tain of these varieties will not grow tall 
enough for much shade, their merits be¬ 
ing beautiful foliage, as in the Red Leaf 
Maple; lovely flowers in the Dogwoods; 
tall screens or accents with the Lom¬ 
bardy Poplars. With FRUITLAND trees 
you may have wonderful shade; magnifi¬ 
cent flowers; glorious autumn coloring 
in foliage and fruit, and the grotesque 
with certain weeping trees. 
The figures after each name denote ul¬ 
timate height of plant. 
Acacia (Mimosa). See Albizzia. 
ACER . Maple 
Acer palmatum atropurpureum (Japanese Red- 
Leaf Maple). 25 ft. Foliage and shoots col¬ 
ored bronzy-red. Should be planted in a 
moist position where it will not receive the 
hot afternoon sun. Rather a shrub in the 
South. Each

GROWN TREES 
ARE BETTER 
• 
It pays to plant 
our nursery-grown 
trees instead of trees 
dug up in the woods. 
Our trees have well- 
developed tops and 
roots. They look well 
and grow well, which 
cannot be said of 
the spindling forest 
seedlings.

AMYGDALUS . Flowering Peach 
During March the Flowering Peaches are 
covered with a mass of beautifully formed 
and highly colored, double flowers. These trees 
cannot be too highly recommended for. early 
spring blooming. Perfectly hardy, thriving in 
any soil in which other Peaches grow.

Aleurites fordi. 30 ft. A medium-sized tree indigenous to 
central China. The rather large, apricot white flowers, 
which appear in large numbers in April, with the broad, 
handsome, green leaves following, make the tree a valua¬ 
ble ornamental. It thrives best in well-drained and sand- 
clay loams. The tree is reported to live to the age of 
thirty years or more. Its apple-like fruits contain sev¬ 
eral large nut-like seeds which yield the valuable tung- 
oil or China wood oil of commerce, used extensively in 
paints and varnishes. 
C. florida rubra (Red-flowering Dogwood). 25 ft. Similar 
to the White-flowering Dogwood, but the flowers are of 
a deep rose color. Early in the season it produces large 
quantities of blooms, making it a most effective tree for 
single specimens on the lawn, and for mass planting with 
a background of tall evergreens. It is considered one of 
our outstanding flowering trees. Each

"There's not a pair 
of legs so thin. 
There’s not a head 
so thick; 
There’s not a hand 
so weak and white, 
Nor yet a heart so 
sick — 
But it can find some 
job that’s crying 
to be done. 
For the Glory of the 
Garden glorieth 
everyone.” 
—Rudyard Kipling.
