Apples 
•Summer and early fall varieties of Northern or European origin succeed equally as well as Southern Seedlings, but the 
latter are the only reliable varieties for late fall and winter. Northern winter varieties seldom retain their fruit well here 
after August, as it then decays and drops during the month. 
Some native varieties that keep well when grown in the upper sections of Georgia and Alabama, fail to retain their keeping 
qualities when cultivated in the lower or middle sections of these states. The season of maturity is given for latitude of Augusta. 
For orchard and long-lived trees, plant only standards, grown by either being budded cr grafted upon whole seedling 
stocks. We do not propagate Apple trees by grafting upon pieces of roots. We have advocated planting whole seedHug- 
propagated trees for forty-seven years past, and hold to the same practice now. 
Clay or clay loam are the best lands for apples. Plow well and deep before setting the trees. The land should be well 
drained.
