THE EXCELSIOR NURSERIES.
Among the Largest in the South.
G. H. Miller £ Son, Proprietors.
We ask the attention of our readersto
the di-play advertisement of this firm
in thia issue We iearu from the pro
, priet >rs that they have been in business
here for twelve years; that previous to
their locating here they had been for
twenty years in the same business; that
the ExceVior Nurseries is one of the
* most extensive and best conducted in
the entire country. They have nearly
200 acres in nursery stock. They grow
their own tree", and hence are to be
distinguished from that class of nurse
ries who simply grow a little to swear
by, and buy the great bulk of tbe stock
they se 1 where they can get it cheap
est.
While they devote a great deal of at
tenti<>n to the growing of stock for the
wholesale trade of nurserymen and com
mere al planters, who s nd their orders
direct, stiil their specialty is growing
stock and placing it directly into the
hands of planters; employing their own
salesmen, omtrolling not only their own
salesmen but the filling if orders,pack
ing everything, so that no middle man
has any chauce to manipulate or adul
terate their stock. They believe that
merit will win, and a constantly it
o easing trade is an evidence that their
’ efforts ate appreciated. They are con
slant students of scientific and practi
cal pomology, keeping abreast with all
the improvemi nts in culture and varie
. ties, and are at all times willing to give
any information they can to their pat
rons.
They exercise every precaution to
preset ve their stock true to name, and
to keep it free from all insect pests and
diseases. Knowing well tue loss and
ruin the intro faction of the San Jose
scale and other pests would
cause in any orchard. They now have
their nurseries inspected by a compe
tent entomologist, and send copy of his
certificate with every lot ol trees sold;
nor will they receive stock, buds or
cions, from any oi e without an accom
panying certificate fiom some recognized
authority, staring that their stock has
been examined and found free from all
scale insects, diseases, etc.
They s<y if the orcbard business in
North Georgia is to be a success, the
San Jose scale must bo kept from secur
ing a hold in any of our orchards.
In addition to their nursery business,
t G. H, Miller & Son are planting large
orchards (mostly peach) in the Pied
mont region, which they consider the
best section for peach culture in the
United States. They have a controlling
interest in 900 acres of peach orchards.
They have many testimonials as to
the high quality of their fruits to only
one of which' we give space. The
•‘Fruitmens Guide” (a journal of the
trade) published in New York city in
its issue of Aug. 7.h 1897 has this to
say in regard to their peaches. “The
grower of these peaches, Messrs. G. H.
Miller & Son, of Rome Ga., are very
large growers, having some 20 orch
ards under cultivation. Their fruit,
unlike the great majority of Georgia’s
crop this year, has been free from
stings and detects. Theirfruitis hand
some in appearance, smooth and high
colored and of good carrying quality.
It has arrived here generally in per
fectly sound condition and has sold to
the very best trade of the city, and
given full satisfaction. '
G H. Miller & San are constantly re
ceiving unsolicited testimonials to the
T excellence of their stock, tut owing to
their aversion to “blowing their own
ho.-n,” they will only allow us to print
extracts from a very few.
An extensive orchardist of Jackson,
Ga., writes: ‘‘The 2500 peach trees I
bought of you,all lived but two trees,and
bore a fl ie crop.” A planter at Dawson,
Ga., writes: ”1 am well pleased with
the 1,000 trees bought of you. I took
grea care in putting them our, and have
not lost a single tree. The superiu-j
tendent of a fruit company in Sylves
ter, Ga , writes: ‘T wish to t< II you my
* success in planting. Ou’ of tbe 20,000
peach trees and 500 p cans, I lost five
peach trees and eight pecans. “How
is that anyhow ?”
They are always on the alert for ev
erything new and desirable, ai d have
rare facilities for testing the shipping i
qualities aud o her commercial fea'ures
of any new fruit that is offered. While
the credit side of the nursery ledger ap-}
pears to be in the ill faied sympathy !
with the depression of the farming 1
world, yet there is a rich rewaid in
knowing that year by year they are in
strumental in surrounding many thou ,
_auds of homes with fruit and flowers. I
