Magnolia. Fruit of large size, light-colored, 
handsome; vigorous grower; prolific; excellent 
for canning. This variety is a great favorite with 
Texas planters. 
White Adriatic. Size medium to large, flat¬ 
tened, slightly turban-shaped, ribs not well 
marked; eye open; skin thick; color greenish 
yellow, or light yellow; flesh rosy red; a good 
grower and gives satisfaction on rich land. 
FIGS 
No fruit is more valuable in the southern fruit-garden than Figs. They can be closely planted— 
io to 12 feet apart—and yield heavily. The Fig-canning industry is gradually extending throughout 
the South, and since several tons of fruit can be produced on an acre of ground, it is well adapted 
to intensive culture. The preserved product put up at the present time in no wise supplies the demand, 
and we look for a very material increase in the Fig-canning industry. 
The fresh Fig is also finding its way into the markets, and meeting with a ready sale. Care¬ 
fully picked at the right stage of maturity and packed in strawberry crates, they can be placed by 
express in distant markets, four or five hundred miles, or even more, in good condition. 
Figs come into bearing very early, and for that reason commend themselves to the fruit-grower. 
With a proper selection of varieties, fruit may be secured from June to November. Figs often suc¬ 
ceed best when planted so the roots may run beneath buildings. Orchard plantings should be made 
on heavy soils, clay soils, or on lands where the clay is very close to the surface.

far outside of the usual limits of culture; very 
desirable for canning and preserving.
