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 grow n in the upper sections of Ga.,S. 0., N. C. and Ala., 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 or grafted upon whole seedling 
stocks We do not propagate Apple trees by grafting upon pieces of roots. We have always advocated planting trees propo- 
gated on whole seedling stocks, ana 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 wel| 
drained.
