NURSERIES BIG PLANT.
Beginning Second Year Under New Management,
It Shows Remarkable Increase in Business.
$25,000.00 INVESTED IN PLANT
And Propigation of Fruit and Ornamental Trees,
Shrubs, Etc., and Products Selling All Over
Country.—A Record of Fifty Years Standing.
Nearly fifty years ago, to be
exact in 1866. the late John G.
Justice established the now fa
mous Jackson County Nurs’ries
and for almost a half century its
products have been growing in
the orchards and on the estates
of thousands of citizens in Geor
gia and the South.
The founder’s death a evr
years ago resulted in a chamge of
ownership and management of
the Nurseries, but has in nowise
affected the popularity and
growth of the business.
Messrs. R. L. Carithers, H. A.
Oarithers, Jr., and June Jac.ksfcn
purchased the stock.together with
the right to continue the business
iii the name of the .Jackson Goun
ty Nurseries and have established
them on a well-suited and pro
duuetive tract of 68 acres of land,
on the Tallasee Bridge road near
the city limits.
When one thinks of an invest
ment of $25,000.00 in nursery
stork and trees and shr'iibs that
run into the hundreds of thou
sands besides acres and a ores of
seedlings that are being grown,
a working force of 30 to 50 po.o
pie, and sales that reach the thor
sands of dollars, one gets some
idea of the magnitude of this Wi:
ddr enterprise.
In company with Mr. IT. A.
Carithers, Jr., a News repre
sentative visited the nursery this
Mr. Jackson, who is an expori
week, and found the manager
enced nurseryman, superintend
ing a force of hands working in
the section set aside for the
pea<eh stock.
“We are just in the midst of
the second year of operation
here’’said Mr. Jackson/ ‘ and we
are meeting with splendid suc
cess. We have about 40,000 of
these peach buds, and just over
there is planted 6 acres in peach
seedlings. Onr apples, that you
see in the section near the house
is comprised of about 15,000
last year’s trees; 24,000 this
year's trees; 5,000 buds, and 12.
000 trees two years-old.
“We’ve oyer there about 1000
plums. 1000 2-year old Kieffer
Pears, and 35.000 Mulberries.”
“In another section we have
15,000 California and Armor Riv
er Privets, and close by there
are three acres in paper-shell pe
can seedlings.” This is only
paa-t of our stock, and we are in
creasing our faculties every day.
“We have six salaried sales
men on the road and our sales
hae been very gratifying.
The variety of apples handled
number about 30, aud embrace
many well-known favorites suit
ed to Southern culture.
The peaches besides about 30
others embrace the famous Mal
coras in a dozen numbers.
Apricots, pears, plums, quince
cherries, figs, mulberries, grapes
strawberries, and nut trees of
every variety make up the fruit
stock, while the ornamdnta*
shrubs a n( i trees cover a wide
range of varieties.
The stock of leading nursery
productions is large and well
growm. lit s a principal with
them to preserve a limited mim-*
her of varieties embracing only
the beat among the old, and th
most promising and deserving
among the new.
Tlie standard trees in this nur
sery are all grafted or budded cm
whole seedlings stocks where
they stand in the nursery, with
out their being taken up, thus in
suring a rapid growth and quick
healing of the junction of stock
and graft.
This "Insures vigorous and
healthy trees, and hundreds of
customers testify to the extra
health, vigor and productiveness
of the product of these nurseries.
It is a rule of the Jackson
Oounty Nurseries that agents
from the establishment are pro
vided with certificates to that ef
fect, and as these certificates
are never given for a period long
er than 12 months, you can he
sure supplies are furnished by
the nursery.
The salaried force selling the
output in Georgia and other
southern states includes, S. P.
Smith, K. Askew, O. E. Lane, A.
J. Burns. W. P. Chandler, B. H.
Bates, W. 0. Harrison.
Messrs. John Doster and Bose
Allen are in charge of the work
ing forces At the nurseries, and
the appearance on the premises
show the experience and care talc
<*n in the propigation of the
stock.
The business is constantly in
creasing, and Me. Jackson is en
thusiastic over the outlook! for
the future.
Go out and get a glimpse of
what a modern nursery looks
like, and you will come back
with a veiw of the Jackson Couh
ty Nurseries haunting you.
STRIKERS WIN.
Settlement of Trouble
in Sight.
-
Brussels. April 22.—Owing in
great part to the advice of the king,
the govemer.t today accepted the
compromise that was proposed by
the liberal leader, F. Masson,and the
great strike for manhood suffrage,
which on account of the remarkable
discipline maintained, the solidarity
of those who join in the movement
and skillful organization, is uuique
in history, will be called off Thurs
day,
Only a week ago the Belgian pre
mier, Charles De Bruqueville, de
clared :
“No government could yield to
a strike of this nature. To yield
would be to abdicate.”
Nevertheless, the strike of 500,000
workers seems to have made suffici
ent impression on the government
to induce it to unbend from its un
compromising attitude for enough
to insure the termination of a situa
tion which has already cost the
country more than $14,000,000 and
is daily driving away from manu
facturers customers they may never
win back.
