ZLo ©ur patrons 
ITH this edition of our General Catalog of Fruit and Ornamental 
Trees, Roses, etc., for fall of 1905 and spring of 1906, we gratefully 
acknowledge the liberal and increasing patronage which has been bestowed 
upon our firm for many years past, and we tender our sincere thanks to the 
numerous customers who have been kind enough to recommend us. We 
shall ever strive to deserve such confidence and shall at any time be glad of 
the opportunity of forwarding catalogs to friends of our customers upon 
receipt of a line requesting us to do so. We feel a legitimate pride in 
numbering among our regular patrons many persons whose names appeared on our order book in 
1857, and who have aided us with their faithful support in building up our present extensive horti¬ 
cultural establishment. 
THE FRUITLAND NURSERIES are located west of and adjoining the limits of the 
city of Augusta, on the Washington Road (continuation of Broad street) and lb miles from the 
terminus of the Lake View Electric Car Line. In the home 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, all our dealings being direct with 
purchasers. 
Gbe 1Rursen> department 
is divided as follows: Roses, 25 acres; Fruit Trees, 275 acres; Grape Vines, 10 acres; Ever¬ 
green and Deciduous Trees, 25 acres; Small Fruits, 15 acres ; Orchard and Test Grounds, 40 acres. 
£be Oreenbouse anb plant department 
now includes over 60,000 square feet of glass, 30,000 feet of which are devoted to palms alone. 
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 cold frames allows us to safely carry through the 
winter an immense stock of plants, which in our mild climate do not require artificial heaj:. With 
the numerous additions and improvements added to this department, we are prepared to offer plants 
at such prices as are in keeping with horticultural progress and the times. 
We may, therefore, claim that our stock of trees and plants, in point or 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. 
OUR FOREIGN TRADE has of late years increased rapidly. We refer with pleasure 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.
