Trees and Plants 
Cinnamomum Camphora 
(THE CAMPHOR TREE) 
We have an immense stock of pot-grown plants, 
which can be shipped and transplanted at any time. 
Plants grown in open ground are not readily trans¬ 
planted. This tree is perfectly hardy, and does well 
along the south Atlantic and Gulf coast. It is a hand¬ 
some evergreen, with bright, shiny leaves. Will do 
well on poor soil, but of course, will make a more 
satisfactory growth when properly fertilized. It is 
being planted in large quantities for producing the 
gum-camphor of commerce. Prices of plants: 18 to 24 
inches, 25 cts. each, $2 for 10, $15 per 100; 36 inches, 
50 cts. each, $3 for 10, $20 per 100. 
CITRUS TRIBE 
(Oranges, Lemons, Limes, Pomelos) 
All pot-grown plants, and shipped with ball of earth. 
2-year grafts, 12 inches, bushy, 50 cts. each, 
$4 for 10; 2 years, 15 to 18 inches, beautiful plants, 
75 cts. each, $6 for 10; 20 to 24 inches, fine, 
shapely plants, $1. 
All our Citrus fruits are budded upon Citris trifoliata. 
This stock being particularly desirable for the colder 
sections of the Orange Belt, many experienced orange- 
growers state that the Trifoliata stock does not mater¬ 
ially dwarf the tree when planted in open ground; that 
the trees have a tendency to branch near the ground, 
thus making beautiful low-headed trees; that it increases 
the productiveness and also advances the time of bear¬ 
ing, and can resist a lower degree of cold than when 
budded upon the sour stock. Desirable also for con¬ 
servatory cultivation. They fruit when two years old. 
Our plants this year are the finest we have ever grown.
