COMAL SPRINGS NURSERY 
FOR THOSE WHO IRRIGATE. 
I have a special lot of peach and plum trees which are all of 
bearing age, and which are worth just so much more to the planter 
than his land is worth to him in two years. It saves just two years 
of growing the trees in an orchard by getting these large trees. 
They have a low stem, a well balanced top, and a perfect system 
of roots. These are not trees which have been left over from 
previous years, but they are trees which I have grown especially 
for those of my customers who irrigate. The young twigs of 
last years growth are full of fruit buds, and should be cut back 
to about one-third their size upon receipt of trees, which leaves 
several fruit buds on each twig, and at the same time there will 
be plenty of new wood formed for next year’s fruit crop. 
The cost of these trees is but very little more than the cost of 
a small tree, and besides saving you two years of growing in your 
orchard, it saves the trouble of forming a well balanced top. For 
prices on small lots see this catalogue, and for prices on big lots 
of these trees kindly write to us.
