A Personal Message 
I SHOULD like to have you think of this as a personal message to you—a garden 
lover—anxious to make your home more beautiful. Our anxiety to assist you 
along this line leads us to add to this catalog certain suggestions and facts, 
such as suggestions for rose culture, and the pertinent sentences at the bottom of 
each page. I hope that you will read them and find them profitable to you. 
That old saying, “There is no substitute for Results,” is certainly true in this 
business, too. The fact that we have always furnished good plants, together with 
our personal service, is responsible for the success which we have attained. From 
a few plants growing on a small tract of land ten years ago, we now have 150 
acres in our nurseries and over 300,000 plants growing there. 
Our main nurseries are located at Rivoli, six miles north of Macon, just off the 
National Highway, approximately 1000 feet from Wesleyan College, across the Cen¬ 
tral of Georgia Railroad, on what is known as Wesleyan Drive. The front cover 
is a picture of our home and will help you locate us. 
We invite you to visit us at the nurseries, especially in the spring when you 
may see the flowering shrubs in bloom. We want to have a personal chat with 
you and talk over any problems which you may have in your yard or garden. 
You will also have an opportunity to select any particular plants that you wish. 
To our customers living within a hundred miles of Macon, we will make free 
truck delivery where the volume of business warrants, thereby saving freight and 
packing charges and insuring a quicker delivery, also the arrival of trees or plants 
in a better condition. 
Our Landscape Department has recently been enlarged and will furnish plans 
and direct the planting of your grounds.

SUBSTITUTION — The varieties you select

ceptable, be sure to advise us, as otherwise 
everything is shipped absolutely as ordered.

tion of varieties that later may be sold out, 
and save you any disappointment.

shipped to arrive at the proper time to plant 
in your locality. If you wish your order
