SMITH BROS* NURSERY CO 
Tb Ouv pTicfids ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ 
Our very first words will be an expression of appreciation for the kind words you have 
spoken and written respecting our trees, shrubs, and plants; and, second, we thank you for the 
patronage which has permitted us to carry on for nearly a half century. It has been, and 
will continue to be, our earnest desire to merit your continued trade, and to add new people 
to an ever-widening circle of friends. 
In this Catalogue we list the best varieties we can find—those that have proved their 
worth and that we can recommend to you. We shall always strive to send you well-grown 
trees and plants, packed in a first-class manner, and thus help you to larger and better orchards 
and more attraetive home-grounds. 
Where We Are and 
What We Are 
Half-way between Atlanta and Columbus, 
on the Southern Railway. Our 1,600 acres of 
lands are on all sides of us. Latitude and soils 
are particularly suited to grow nursery stock, 
and our customers may be sure of getting as 
good as nature and science can produce. 
Continuously in the nursery business over 
50 years—nearly all our lives—we have been 
familiar with the intricacies of propagating 
trees from our boyhood. Millions of trees in 
thousands of bearing orchards in practically 
every locality of the South, together with our 
reputation gained through years of active 
business, is our guarantee of the high quality 
of our stock. 
Read Before Ordering 
Our shipping season opens about Novem¬ 
ber 1, and except for a few of the coldest days, 
continues uninterruptedly until March 15. Send 
your order at any time and we will ship when 
instructed, or at the proper time. 
Packing. We pack in boxes or bales. Large 
lots usually go in boxes and small shipments 
in bales. We use only the best of materials 
in packing and our workmen are thoroughly 
trained to the work. We are well prepared to 
handle your orders, large or small. 
Our terms to those with whom we have 
had no previous dealings are cash with 
the order, or before shipment. Large 
buyers may, with advantage, send us lists of 
their wants for suggestions as to cost, etc. 
Our responsibility. We refer by permis¬ 
sion to The Concord Banking Company of 
this place, to The Citizens and Southern 
Bank of Atlanta, Ga., and to the Commercial 
Directories. 
Our guarantee. We guarantee all our 
stock to be healthy and true to name and will 
refund money or replace any trees that may 
prove otherwise, but it is mutually agreed 
between ourselves and every purchaser that 
we are not liable for any amount greater than 
the price paid for the goods. 
We do not guarantee our trees to live, 
but we pack them in the best condition and 
where properly cared for on arrival, they will 
all live. Keep the roots moist at all times but 
do not let them freeze. Immediately after 
planting, cut tops back as directed. 
We are but human and with all our care 
may make mistakes, which we are glad to 
correct on notification, but we must ask to be 
advised within 10 days from the receipt of the 
stock of any claim to be made on any account, 
after which time we cannot consider them. 
Every shipment is accompanied by the 
official certificate of the State Entomologist, 
certifying that the stock is free from yellows, 
San Jose scale, and other dangerous insects and 
diseases. We fumigate all stock before shipping.
