FRUITLAND NURSERIES, August a, Ga 
GRAPES—Continued 
Moore Early. Bunch medium; berry large, round, black, 
with heavy blue bloom; medium quality. Early and 
desirable. 
Niagara. Bunch and berry large; greenish yellow; flesh 
pulpy, sweet, foxy. Its remarkable size and fine ap¬ 
pearance give it much popularity as a market variety. 
Vigorous and prolific. 
BULLACE, OR MUSCADINE GRAPES 
Vitus rotundifolia or vulpina. This type is purely South¬ 
ern, and is of no value for the northern or western states. 
Vine is free from all diseases. The fruit never decays be¬ 
fore maturity. Cultivation is reduced to the simplest form 
—plant from 20 to 30 ft. in row; train on an arbor or trellis.

sweet, vinous flavor. Matures from end of September to 
end of October, or four to six weeks later than Scup- 
pernong. 
James. Berries large, blue-black, in clusters of from 6 to 
10; skin thin; pulp tough, sweet and juicy, but not dis¬ 
solving; quality good. A showy fruit. Ripens after 
Seuppernong. 
Scuppernong. Berries large; seldom more than 8 to 10 in a

ALMONDS 
Almonds can be successfully 
grown in some sections of the South, 
but, owing to their early blooming 
periods, the fruit is sometimes killed 
by late spring frosts. The Almond 
requires the same cultivation as the 
peach. 
I. X. L. A desirable California 
variety. Sturdy, upright grower; 
nut large; soft shell; heavy bear¬ 
er. 1-yr., 3 to 4 ft., 75c each; 
$6.50 for 10. 
BUTTERNUTS 
Butternuts (JUglans cinerea). Tree 
large. Native New Brunswick and 
Georgia to Dakota and Arkansas. 
Fine autumn color. Fruits in clus¬ 
ters. Kernels sweet and edible. 
Fine for orchards or specimen 
planting. 3 to 4 ft., 75c each; 
$6.50 for 10. 
WALNUTS 
English or Persian (Juglans regia). 
Requires a rich, well-drained, and 
preferably stony soil. Never plant 
in hardpan, heavy clay, or soils 
which are not properly drained. In some sections of the 
Eastern and Southern States the English Walnut is quite 
successfully grown. 18 to 24 in., 75c each; $6.00 for 10. 
Japanese. Particularly successful in the Southern States. 
The tree is very handsome and has a large, spreading 
top. It makes a useful as well as an ornamental tree. 
At three years of age the tree commences to bear. The 
shells are moderately thick, but the kernels are very 
sweet. 2 to 3 ft., $1.00; $8.50 for 10. 18 to 24 in., 50c 
each, $4.50 for 10. 
PECANS 
Pecans are a paying investment when the proper stock 
is used and given the right soil and climate. We offer 
the best varieties, bearing nuts of large size, good flavor, 
thin shell and of easy cracking qualities, all of which 
are propagated from grafts or buds on three-year seed¬ 
lings. They are hardy and satisfactory. 
Plant Pecans 50 to 60 feet apart, according to soil, which 
should be good. Pecans grow well on rich bottom soils, 
on high land of the sandy pine-levels, on sandy soil where 
there is clay subsoil, but not in deep sand and never in pipe 
clay or undrained land. A sour soil will kill or injure the 
trees and never be satisfactory. To get crops, you must cul¬ 
tivate, fertilize, and properly prune the trees. The Pecan is 
long-lived. Our trees, if properly cared for, should bear in 
five years, bear paying crops at eight years, and should 
produce 16-20 pounds of nuts per tree at 10 years. 
Planting and Cultivating. After Pecans reach maturity 
in fall, transplant any time until March. Keep roots cov¬ 
ered with moss or wet sacks at all times before planting— 
they must not dry out. Dig hole for tree before exposing 
roots. Hole should be 2 feet wide 
and deep enough to set tree a trifle 
lower than it stood in nursery. When 
hole is dug, take one tree and cut off 
ends of broken roots with sharp 
knife. Cut off part of taproot so the 
tree will force lateral roots. Fill hole 
half full around roots with well-pul¬ 
verized top-soil enriched with either 
the proper amount of well-rotted 
stable manure, bonemeal, or high- 
grade fertilizer, thoroughly mixed 
with the soil. 
Pack earth firmly as the hole is 
filled, but leave 2 inches of loose 
soil on top. When soil is very dry, 
pour water in hole when partly 
tilled. Trees over 4 feet should be 
cut back to 4 feet in height after 
planting. Be careful not to break 
eyes of trees when handling. Keep 
trees cultivated and properly pruned. 
Between the rows you may plant 
cotton, potatoes, melons, or any 
cover-crop for several years, but 
never small grain. When trees go 
into bearing, plant and turn under 
a cover-crop of soy beans, vetch or 
clover. 
Excellent results are obtained in planting Pecans with 
dynamite—one-half pound of dynamite placed 2 feet below 
level is ample. This breaks the sub-soil, and permits the 
long taproot to find food on lower levels. 
For fungous diseases and insects injurious to the Pecan, 
see Spraying Table on page 43. 
Frotscher. Very large, nuts average 45 to 50 to the pound. 
Shell very thin; can be cracked with the teeth. Meat sweet 
and of fine quality, and can be removed entirely from the 
shell. One of the best Pecans grown, bringing good 
prices on all markets, and yielding profits to the grower. 
Moneymaker. It is an early bearer, prolific, healthy, and re¬ 
markably free from nut diseases that ruin a great many 
of our best varieties of Pecans. Size medium, rounded, 
oblong. A heavy bearer of splendid nuts. 
Schley. Medium to large; 1% to 1% inches long; oblong, 
slightly flattened. Shell thin; plump, rich flavor. Good 
grower. One of the best varieties because of size, appear¬ 
ance, and quality. Has few equals as a market nut. 
Stuart. Nut large to very large; 1% to 2% inches long; ob¬ 
long; shell of medium thickness, and of very good crack¬ 
ing quality. Kernel full, plump, of best quality. Flavor 
rich and sweet. A good grower; heavy bearer. An ex¬ 
cellent variety thriving over a wide section of the South. 
Success. A good-growing, heavy-bearing tree. Nuts large 
and oblong, of good quality. Thin shell. Nuts full of 
juicy, sweet meat.
