The nectarine is .a fruit similar to a peach, but it has a smooth skin like 
that of <a plum. 1 is however not advisable to plant it extensively in Texas 
as the curculio almost invariably destroys the most of the fruit while the 
tree is in bloom. It is successfully grown in some parts of Mexico and 
California

We might almost say there is no tree which so abundantly repays its 
owner for the little trouble it requires than the fig. From July to October 
ripe fruit may be had almost daily from the same tree, provided there is 
enough moisture to con.stantly keep the tree growing during this time. 
The best place for a fig tree is near a well or a spring or any other place 
where there is always a plentiful supply of watc'. During extreme cold 
weather figs sometimes freeze to the ground, but they sprout from the ioi>ts 
again in the spring. This however happens only every 10 or l.s yea's, if only 
the hardiest varieties are planted.
