Sometime before 1869 he moved his nursery again, this time to Richmond, and later opened a second nursery in Baltimore. By 1900 Franklin Davis's nurseries were shipping fruit trees all over the South and still listed 269 apple varieties in its catalogs. In some years this nursery sold over half a million fruit trees."
