Garland moved to Texas with his parents, Addison Binford and Linnie Maud Cammack Maclin, in 1889 and settled near Mineola. After his marriage to Cynthia Lanier Vickery on Nov. 15, 1903 they lived in Lindale, Tx until 1905, when they moved to Mineral Wells, Texas for only about one year before returning to East Texas settling in the Mineola area. In 1927 he bought the old deserted 190 acre county penal farm about 8 miles east of Mineola on Highway 80. He became one of Wood County's most successful farmers. Garland saw the opportunity for truck farming, rather than cotton farming, and developed a diversified truck farm, widely known for its produce as well as the methods he developed. There were all types of berries and orchards that grew all types of fruits. "The Maclin Special" a watermelon he developed by crossing different varieties grew to weigh 90-100 lbs. These sold at the Dallas market for $l.00 while other melons were selling for 10 cents.
The volume of produce was such that, in order to supply his customers, he built a roadside stand, which was widely known throughout the area and well patternized. He retired from farming in 1943 and he and his wife celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 1953 at their home in the Hoard Community.
