The article discusses developments in agriculture and architecture in the southern United States during the antebellum period, focusing on the significance of the construction of the Fruitland orchard and country house in Augusta, Georgia in 1857. The author notes that the house, designed by horticulturalist Dennis Redmond, was distinct from traditional southern houses in that it did not rely on cotton or slavery, and the development and significance of "Southern Cultivator," an agricultural periodical is highlighted. Other topics include plantations, agriculturalist Daniel Lee, and the use of concrete in constructing the Fruitland house.
