JCTORY 
It gives us pleasure in this, our nineteenth annual greeting, to say to our patrons and 
friends and to prospective purchasers of nursery stock, that we are looking after our trade 
interests with the same amount of care as at the beginning and with greater success than 
at first, because of our increased experience in the business. Although we are cultivating 
over iooo acres in nursery stock, each acre of this extensive tract is under the direct per¬ 
sonal oversight of some member of our firm each day. 
We do not seek to produce the wonders in nursery stock, but are satisfied to grow 
those varieties which have proven themselves a success in a commercial way; thus the 
goods we put on the market are past the experimental age. 
Our custom has been to visit the best orchards in various parts of the country 
and study their methods and varieties, and to acquaint ourselves with the demands 
of the different locatities. In this way we have put ourselves in a position to pleas® 
our customers of the different sections of the country. 
Our trees are grown on the best known methods for producing a tree with well-ripened 
wood and strong vitality, which is necessary to produce, fruit at an early age. 
Having different farms with a variety of soils suited for growing Peach, Apple, Pear 
and Cherry Trees, Strawberry Plants and Asparagus Roots, we select land suitable for the 
various kinds of trees and plants which we grow, and we produce Peach, Apple, Pear, Plum 
and Cherry Trees, Strawberry Plants and Asparagus Roots in large quantities. 
Our facilities for handling nursery stock are the best in the State. We have more 
acres in cultivation, more trenching ground and larger packing-houses than any other nur¬ 
sery in Maryland. We have over two hundred acres in Peach, both budded and seedlings, 
and a like amount of Apple. We use hundreds of tons of commercial fertilizer annually, 
besides a large quantity of barnyard manure, together with crimson clover and peas as a 
cover crop to keep the land free from filth and in good working condition. 
We make it a point to grow our Peach on land that has never been in Peach and from 
natural seedlings, and we also seek for a soil which will produce a strong fibrous root. It 
is our belief that no better Apple can be produced in America than ours, and we base our 
opinion on the fact that we have a soil especially suited to the production of Apple, a loam 
soil with red clay subsoil. 
Strawberry Plants are grown in light sandy soil, which produces long clean roots 
with a good healthy crown. Visitors are always welcome. 
It would be a pleasure to us to take our customers and all prospective buyers through 
our nursery and show them our stock and explain to them our methods of growing and 
handling the same, and we extend to all a most cordial invitation to visit us. 
We are 124 miles from Baltimore and can be easily reached via B., C. & A. R. R., and 
152 miles from Philadelphia, and can be reached via P., B. & W. R. R., which is a branch 
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and 160 miles from Norfolk, and can be reached by N. Y., P. 
& N., which is ten miles of where the Jamestown Exposition is to be held in 1907. 
Our prices will be found as interesting to purchasers as those of any other nursery in 
the country, and we invite you to compare catalogues or visit us in person before you 
purchase your supplies for this Fall. 
Trusting that we may be favored with a continuation of your patronage, which will 
receive our prompt attention, we remain, Yours very truly,
