cool. Is very effective when used as a spray against flea beetles, 
lice aphides (plant lice) .

SPRAYING 
We cannot be too emphatic in impressing on the horticul¬ 
turist to spray his fruit trees and grape-vines if he desires good 
fruit. Follow directions carefully. Experiments frequently 
result disastrously. Careless spraying will result in loss of fruit 
and sometimes the trees. Every fruit-grower should purchase 
a spraying apparatus; they can now be had for a small sum. 
Be careful in keeping your solution continually stirred. The 
j best time for spraying is late in the afternoon or during cloudy 
i weather, except with kerosene emulsion; this should be used 
( on bright, sunshiny days. (We recommend the Gould 
Pumps. Write us for prices on these; w'e can save you money.)

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 that month. Some native varieties that keep well when grown in the upper sections of 
South Carolina, North Carolina 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 the latitude of Augusta. 
For orchard and long-lived trees, plant only standards, grown by either being budded or grafted upon whole seedline 
slocks XVe do not propagate Apple trees by grafting upon pieces of roots. We have always advocated planting trees propagated 
on whole seedling stocks, 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 and cultivated.
