APPLES 
The Apple will grow on any land of moderate fertility — the better the land 
the better they will do, but it is a useless expense to plant them on low, wet land, 
without first thoroughly draining it, as they would soon succumb to excessive 
moisture. 
Keep the suckers that come up arouud the tree cut down, and those that come 
on the body of the tree cut off, and give the body of the tree up to the first limbs, 
during the latter part of winter or early spring, a thorough washing, applied with 
a cloth-mop, broom or brush, being particular to get it into all the crevices and 
leave it well smeared on the tree, consisting of the following ingredients: 1 gal. 
soft soap, 1 oz. carbolic acid, lib sulphur, thinned down with warm water to a 
consistency to spread readily. 
Keep all limbs that interlock or cross each other cut out and the ends of the 
limbs that grow too rapidly cut off so as to equalize the growth. 
Give your Apple trees an annual coating, one inch in depth, of well rotted 
barnyard manure, spread as far out as the limbs extend, and you will be sur- 
prised at what a fine appte country you are living in. 
Early, Fall and Winter Apples, are very profitable, always selling readily on 
the market at remunerative prices; but for home consumption there should be a 
succession from the earliest to the latest, covering the whole season. 
It is useless to plant Northern varieties of Fall and Winter Apples in the 
South as they will mature and drop to the ground during the latter part of sum- 
mer. 
Southern Seedlings originating in our climate and enured to our long summers 
are the only kinds we can rely upon. Some native varieties that keep well when 
grown in Northern Arkansas and Tennessee, fail to retain their keeping qual- 
ities when cultivated here or in South Arkansas and Texas. In making a selec- 
tion a due allowance must be made on this account, as our trade extends to sev- 
eral states, we grow an assortment suitable for different sections. Parties who 
are not acquainted with the Winter varieties best adapted to their section, we will 
take pleasure in aiding them in making a selection.
