P. J. Berckmans Company’s Tree and Plant Catalogue 
Greenhouse Department 
COVERS UPWARDS OF 60,000 FEET UNDER CLASS 
T HIS branch of our establishment is now the largest and most complete in the South. For this depart¬ 
ment a special Catalogue (No. 2) is published on the 1st of February of each year. The increasing 
demand for Greenhouse Plants has enabled us to keep up with the march of progress, and induced us 
to cultivate a very large and varied stock of Plants, not only of the favorite classes usually found in 
greenhouses, but also plants of the newest introduction. Our facilities for propagating large quantities of 
healthy stock, and the saving of fuel, enable us to offer Plants at unusually low prices. 
Special attention is called to our very large stock of Palms and Winter-Blooming Plants, as described in 
Catalogue No. 2, which will be mailed free on application. 
NO SAN JOSE SCALE 
AM our nurseries are absolutely free from 
this pest. They are inspected every twelve 
months by the Georgia State Entomologist, 
and a certificate of said inspector is attached 
to every package that leaves our establishment. 
Shipments for such states as require all 
nursery stock to be fumigated with hydrocyanic 
acid gas before being allowed within their bor¬ 
ders will be so treated, and for other states 
where these requirements are not enforced, we 
will also so treat all stock before shipment 
when requested by our customers.
