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 hero after 
August, as it then decays and drops during that month. 
Some native varieties that keep well when grown in the upper sections of Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Ala¬ 
bama, fail to retain their keeping qualities when cultivated in the lower or middle sections of these states. The season of maturity 
is given for the latitude of Augusta. 
For orchard and long-live i trees, plant only standards , grown by either being budded or grafted upon whole seedling 
stocks. We do not propagate Apple trees by grafting upon pieces of roots. Wo have always advocated planting trees propa¬ 
gated on whole seedling stocks, and hold to the same practice now. 
Clay or clay loam are the best lauds for apples. Plow well and deep before setting the trees. The land should be well drained.
