Apples 
^ arieties of European or northern origin, that mature their fruit in summer or fall, often prove as satis¬ 
factory and profitable in the South as those which have originated here; but the kinds that are most dependable 
for fall and winter use in that part of the southern states south of the Piedmont region are mainly seedlings 
that have been introduced by southern nurserymen. 
Northern winter varieties seldom hold their fruit after the month of August in the section of country above 
referred to; but many of these northern varieties are grown most successfully in the Piedmont section, as also 
are many of the varieties native to the South. 
Clay or clay loam is the best soil for growing Apples. The land should be plowed well and deep before 
setting the trees. It should, of course, be well drained and kept thoroughly cultivated. Too much emphasis 
cannot be put on the importance of drainage; recent investigation has shown that a surplus of water in the 
orchard produces fruit of an inferior quality and flavor. The expense of tiling or ditching is not to be com¬ 
pared with the profits that are received from an orchard that it properly drained and cultivated. 
All of our Apples are budded or grafted on whole seedling stocks. We do not use pieces of roots for our 
propagation. Our Apples are unusually thrifty and vigorous. 
Plant Apple trees 25 to 40 feet apart, each way, according to soil.
