FRUITLANP NURSERIES, AUGUSTA, GEORGIA 
Co #ur patrons 
ITH this edition of our General Catalogue of Fruit and Ornamental 
Trees, Roses, etc., for 1900, we gratefully acknowledge the liberal and 
increasing patronage which has been bestowed upon our firm for many 
years past. We feel a legitimate pride in numbering among our regular 
patrons many persons whose names appeared upon our Order Book in 
1857, and who have aided us with their faithful support in building up 
our present extensive horticultural establishment. 
THE FRUITLAND^NURSERIES are located west of and ad¬ 
joining the limits of the city of Augusta, on the Washington Road (continuation of Broad 
street), and i^z miles from the terminus of the Lake View Electric Car Line. In the 
borne tract of 400 acres are soils of every texture found in this section of the state, thus 
enabling every class of products to be grown under the most favorable conditions. 
We have no connection whatever with any other Nursery, and do not employ 
agents, all our dealings being directly with purchasers. 
.. C&e rfturserp Department.. 
Is divided as follows: Roses, 25 acres; Fruit Trees, 260 acres; Grape-Vines, 10 acres; 
Evergreen and Deciduous Trees, 15 acres; Small Fruits, 15 acres; Orchard and Test 
Grounds, 40 acres. 
.. C&c <$reent)ouge anO plant Department.. 
Now includes over 60,000 square feet of glass. All modern improved appliances tending to 
economy in labor and healthy products have been added, and in addition to the plant-houses, a 
large area of coldframes allows us to safely carry through the winter an immense stock of 
plants which, in our mild climate, do not require artificial heat. With the numerous addi¬ 
tions and improvements added to this department, we arc prepared to offer plants at such 
prices as are in keeping with horticultural progress and the times. 
OUR FOREIGN TRADE has of late years increased rapidly. We refer with pleas¬ 
ure to this feature of our business, as our products are sent to Australia, China, Japan, 
Africa, the East Indies, Brazil, Bermudas, the West Indies, and every section of Europe 
and North and South America. 
We may, therefore, claim that our stock of Trees and Plants, in point of quality 
variety and perfect adaptability to the Southern climate and to Southern fruit¬ 
growers, together with healthy growth and large size, is equal to that of any similar 
establishment in the United States.
