AFTER FIFTY YEARS - 
Although the quantity and variety of plants and trees which I grow have changed a great 
deal during these fifty years, my aims have changed little. As in the beginning, 1 and my 
associates are striving to grow the very best nursery stock possible; to find and introduce 
into the South new and superior varieties of fruit and nut trees; to handle our stock so 
that it will give our customers the best possible results, and to sell our trees at a reason¬ 
able price. 
During the past fifty years, we have pioneered in the development of the pecan and Tung 
oil industries. We have introduced new varieties of fruit trees. Much pioneering in other 
fields is yet to be done. 
And so we begin our second fifty years of business, determined that our past policies of 
good trees, well grown and reasonably priced, will be continued in the future. 
Wight grown trees are growing in the four corners of the world—in Africa and Austra¬ 
lia; in Russia and Japan; in South America and New Zealand. Whether you live near by 
or in distant lands, the experience of fifty years is available to you to help you solve your 
horticultural problems. 
Visit Wight Nurseries if you can. You will always be welcome, and will find some¬ 
thing interesting. If you can’t visit our nurseries, we hope this catalogue will faith¬ 
fully represent what we have growing here, 
ana will be a means of introducing you to 
trees and plants which will bring you both 
pleasure and profit.

It Is Easy to Order from Wight’s 
READ BEFORE ORDERING 
W HEN TO PLANT—Planting can be done any 
time the trees and bushes are dormant and 
the ground not frozen. In the South the 
best season for transplanting is usually from 
November 15th to April 1st. 
WHEN TO ORDER—It is best to order early, 
as this enables us to reserve for you the varieties 
you want and avoids the possibility of our being 
sold out. The time of shipment may be left to 
us, as we keep track of weather conditions 
throughout the country and ship each order so 
2 s to reach our customers at the very best time 
for planting in that locality. If it is necessary 
that an order arrive on a certain date, please note 
it on your order sheet and we will ship to ar¬ 
rive as near to that date as possible. 
TERMS OF PAYMENT—Cash with order, or 
satisfactory reference before shipment; or if pre¬ 
ferred, will ship goods with Bill of Lading at¬ 
tached to Sight Draft, through express or bank. 
On all C. O. D. and Sight Draft Orders we re¬ 
quire 25 per cent of the bill before shipment. 
PRICES—All prices are net and subject to change 
without notice. We offer no premiums, discounts, 
or gratuities. Five trees or plants of a class will 
be billed at the 10 rate; 50 trees at the 100 rate; 
500 at the 1,000 rate. 
TRANSPORTATION—All orders travel at the 
cost and risk of the purchaser. Where shipment 
of small sizes by parcel post is desired, add 20% 
to your order to cover postage. Any excess funds 
will be returned to you. The Express company 
has reduced the rating of nursery stock from 
first class to second class, making a saving in 
transportation costs of about 25%. We therefore 
recommend express shipments for all classes of 
stock. 
HOW TO SEND MONEY—An express money 
order, postal money order, or bank draft is the 
best form of remittance. You can send your 
personal check if you desire. It is not safe to 
send silver or bills except in a registered letter. 
OUR GUARANTEE 
We guarantee our stock to be well 
grown, true to name, and properly 
handled and packed. Our responsibility 
ceases upon delivery to transportation 
company. All claims should be prompt¬ 
ly made.
