FRUIT TREES 
Apples 
The Apple is not very profitably grown in Southern and Western Texas. There are a few 
varieties that grow, and only certain localities where these succeed. The latter are in the 
mountainous regions of Texas and Mexico. The best results are obtained on heavy clay soil. 
Light or sandy soil must be manured before apples can successfully be grown on same. The ap- 
ple we grow in our state has a very fine aromatic flavor, more so than that grown in the North, 
and people who think their soil may be adapted to its culture should experiment with a few 
trees. Trees grown in the North should, however, never be planted; they will never prove 
a success. The following is a collection of those that I have found worthy of planting in the 
South. 
PRICES: Strong 4 to 6 feet, 2 years old, grafted on whole roots, 50 cents each, 
$5.50 per dozen, $40.00 per 100. 
Winesap — Tree a strong grower and produc- 
tive; fruit of medium size, red flesh, crisp, 
juicy, high flavored; valuable for table, market 
or cider. Ripe in October. 
Hackworth — A new apple from Alabama. We 
consider it one of the best apples. Ripens for 
about a month, has a fine flavor and is a very 
good apple for home market; as large as Ben 
Davis, not quite so red, and ripens early in 
July. This variety should be in every apple 
orchard. 
Kinnard’s Choice — Fruit medium, mostly cov- 
ered with a dark red, flesh yellow, tender, 
juicy and aromatic; very hardy and productive. 
Black Twig— Tree upright grower; fruit like 
Winesap, but one-fourth larger. 
New Apples 
75c each, $7.50 per dozen. 
Becker — This is the only apple that has given 
satisfactory results in the coast country and 
does very well here. The tree is a strong up- 
right grower, large foliage, bears young, tree is 
very productive. Ripens in July. Color is yel- 
low with red stripes, well flavored. 
Heidemeyer — Imported about 1850 from Stutt- 
gart, Germany. Roundish, conical, color golden 
yellow, flesh yellowish, juicy, aromatic, rich 
quality; very good to best. Season August. 
Bears heavy crops every year. Is one of the 
best apples for Southwest Texas. 
Stringston — This new Australian apple has 
been fruiting here for years. Is a fine, large, 
round summer apple, highly colored to the sun- 
ny side, of good quality; the trees bear young 
and are very good growers, having fruited in 
the nursery the first year. Ripens end of July.
