Oglethorpe. Reprinted in "Collections of the Georgia Historical
Society." Vol. I. Savannah, 1840.

From this I quote"
"Mulberries both black and white, are natives of this
soil, and are found in the woods, as are many other sorts of
fruit trees of excellent kinds, and the growth of them is
surprisingly swift; for a peach, apricot, or nectarine tree
will from the stone, grow to be a bearing tree in four or
five years time." p. 50.

"They have oranges, lemons, apples, and pears, besides
the peach and apricot mentioned before; some of these are so
delicious [evidently a paraphrase of Archdale, p. 7.], that 
whoever tastes them will despise the insipid watery taste of
those we have in England; and yet such is the plenty of them
that they are given to hogs in great quantities," Ibid.
p. 51.

"An Impartial inquiry into the State and Utility of the 
Province of Georgia. London: 1741." Presumed to be by Benjamin
Martin, Esq.  Reprinted in "Collections of the Georgia
Historical Society," Vol. I. 1840.

From an Appendix to this Inquiry, I quote a portion of a
letter "from Mr. Thomas Jones to Mr. John Lyde, dated at Savannah,
Sept. 18, 1740."
