EVER before has there been such intense and widespread in¬ 
terest in horticultural subjects. The production of fruits 
for commercial and home use is becoming a vast and prof¬ 
itable industry in many sections that have heretofore been 
considered unadapted for such purposes, as well as in the 
older fruit-growing regions. 
The above is particularly true of Citrus fruits, the plant¬ 
ing of which is being done on a very extensive scale. We foresaw the 
heavy demand for Citrus nursery stock, and our supply of trees this sea¬ 
son is unsurpassed, probably unequaled, both in quantity and quality, by 
any other in this country. 
Within the past few years we have built up a large trade with many 
foreign countries and particularly with the West Indies and Mexico. We 
make a specialty jf this trade, and trees are packed in the most thorough 
possible manner in order that they may reach destination in good condi¬ 
tion. We have s me most gratifying testimonials from our customers in 
foreign countries, both as to the splendid condition of trees on arrival and 
the quality of stock received. 
It is and has ever been our aim to furnish our customers the best trees 
that can be grown, and at reasonable prices for the quality of stock sent 
out. The careful, conscientious manner in which we handle our trees and 
our particularly favorable location enable us to produce stock of superior 
quality, and have prompted the United States Department of Agriculture to 
place with us contracts for growing in nursery and orchard many thousands 
of trees, including a number of different species—Citrus and deciduous. 
In this Catalogue we have endeavored to make descriptions of varieties 
clear, concise and accurate, and the cultural information and suggestions 
comprehensive. We are, however, always glad to give further information 
in response to specific inquiry. 
The following pages are submitted for your careful consideration with 
the hope that you will favor us with your orders, and the assurance that 
they shall have our most careful attention. 
Very truly yours,
