FRUIT TREES —Plant your trees and vines as soon after re¬ 
ceiving them as possible. Do NOT allow the roots to dry 
out. Dig the hole large enough to take the roots without 
crowding them. Set the tree and fill in enough to hold the 
tree upright, then put on enough water to settle the soil 
about the roots; when it is soaked up, fill up the hole, make 
a basin about the tree and water every 10 days or two weeks. 
Prune the tree back to a single stem 20 to 36 inches. 
Pears 
BARTLETT —The most widely cultivated pear. Large, buttery 
and melting, with rich flavor; tree a vigorous grower; bears 
abundantly. Bartlett has every quality needed for a perfect 
home and market pear. 
KIEFFER —Extremely handsome in appearance and borne on 
a very vigorous and fruitful tree. Fruit roundish, yellow, 
heavily russeted, with coarse, crisp flesh. Valued highly as a 
canning pear.

shape, color and flavor, but ripening very late. The tree is 
very productive and the fruit keeps remarkably well.

The following are the best varieties for 
picking. Possibly one of their most impor¬ 
tant features is their beauty as an ornamental 
tree; the longest lived tree we have, they 
will stand extremes of heat, cold, drought, 
and alkali. They also can be pruned into 
formal shapes and kept to dwarf size. 
When setting out balled trees do not remove the burlap, as 
to remove it may crack the ball dirt around the roots and 
injure them. Set the tree in the hole and fill 
in almost two-thirds of the soil, then cut 
the top string of the burlap and throw in 
the remainder of the soil. Make a shallow 
basin around the tree which fill with water 
to settle the earth around the roots. Use no 
fertilizer at time of planting, this may be 
applied after the tree gets established and is 
growing.

ARKANSAS BLACK — Medium to large: 
somewhat conical; the color is a beautiful

productive, and the fruit will keep well in storage all winter.

ing to red on sunny side. Fruit is of highest

Dates 
There are so many varieties of good dates that we will not attempt to list 
them all, but just a few of the better home-use varieties. We have selected 
these with the following in mind: Easy pollination, early ripening, rain-resist¬ 
ant qualities, easy dehydration and processing, and good bearing varieties as 
well as good flavor. Heavy-well rooted offshoots $7.50 Each. Bearing size 
Palms, $25.00 up. 
KHADRAWI —A light colored Date, very sweet and juicy and an early ripen- 
er. Best home-uso Date. 
KASTAWI —Slightly larger than Khadrawi and a much faster growing tree. 
These two varieties are the leading dates of commercial packing along with 
Deglet Noor which does not do too well in all parts of the Valley. 
HYANY —A very fine flavored large dark colored date, probably one of the 
best of its class, being unusually sweet. Slightly bothered by rain and should 
be covered with hoods if fall rains come when it is ripening.
