CHERRIES 
The Cl^iiy is such a delicious fruit that the home orchardist is tempted to plant Cherry trees 
whether they are adapted to given locality or not. In certain sections the Cherry is most profitable, 
and while care should be used in selection of varieties, where the Cherry is adapted it should be 
planted extensively. 
BLACK TARTARIAN—Best known of the sweet 
cherries. Fruit medium to large, purplish-black 
when ripe; flesh purplish-red, firm, sweet, and 
of best flavor. Tree a vigorous grower and 
adapted to wide territory. Ripe last of June. 
Sections B and C, 
DYEHOUSE—Medium size; dark red, sprightly, 
acid and of excellent quality. One of the best 
of the sour cherries. Ripe middle of May. Sec¬ 
tions B and C. 
EARLY RICHMOND—Medium size; clear red; 
melting, rich and acid. A dependable sort. Ripe 
last of May. Sections A, B and C. 
GOV. WOOD—Sweet; large, heart-shaped; light 
yellow with red. Tree vigorous. Ripe in May. 
Sections B and C. 
MONTMORENCY—Large size; light red; flesh 
very light colored and moderately acid. Tree 
vigorous, spreading and productive. Ripe in 
June. Sections A, B and C. 
NEW CENTURY—Originated in Grayson County 
where it has fruited successfully for years. A 
combination of the Duke and Morello types. 
Fruit medium to large; light red; of good qual¬ 
ity. Tree is a strong, upright grower. We 
recommend this variety for every planting. Ripe 
in June. Sections A, B and C. 
WRAGG—Similar to English Mox’ello, but larger 
and slightly more acid. A dwarfish grower and 
a regular bearer. Ripe in July. Sections A, 
B and C. 
FIGS 
Fig is consideied to be more or less a fruit of the coast country, but it thrives and produces 
abundant crops over most of the cotton section, and while the tops will sometimes be killed back 
m colder sections, if this dead wood is pruned away the plant will make new growth which will 
fruit the first season. 
BROWN TURKEY—Medium size; purplish- 
brown; sweet and good. Very prolific. Has 
habit of bearing on new wood, even fruiting in 
the nursery row. Sections A and D. 
EVERBEARING—Fruit medium to large, brown¬ 
ish-yellow, shaded bronze; flesh white with 
pink center, sweet and delicious. The trees 
begin to bear when quite small and usually have 
fruit all season. Plants ordinarily bear in 
nursery row on first season’s wood. We con¬ 
sider this one of the most desirable of all figs. 
Sections A and C. 
ISCHIA—Medium size; greenish-white when ripe; 
flesh white, tinged with red. A good table va¬ 
riety. Section D. 
MAGNOLIA—Very large; brownish straw color; 
excellent for canning and for preserves. Will 
bear on one-year stems. More widely grown 
than any of the other varieties of figs. Bears 
over a long period, having young fruit at the 
same time as mature, ripe fruit. Sections A, 
B, C and D. 
QUINCE 
As an addition to the home orchard the Quince will find its place, for it is especially desirable 
for cooking purposes. It is of little value in Sections A and D, but in most portions of Sections 
B and C it will produce most satisfactorily. 
ANGERS—Fruit pear-shaped; dull yellow; firm, dry, but of good flavor. Ripe August to Septem¬ 
ber. Sections B and C. 
MULBERRIES 
While the fruit of the Mulberry is of no commercial value, the tree is planted largely for 
shade. For swine and poultry the fruit is of much value, and where planted in the poultry yard it 
will give both fruit and shade and is very desirable for this purpose. The tree is of quick growth and 
is particularly suited to the Southwest. 
BLACK ENGLISH—Fruit large; jet black; of 
fine flavor. Tree hardy and prolific and excel¬ 
lent for general planting. Ripe in June. 
DOWNING— Very large; black; sweet rich and 
excellent. Ripe in June and July. 
HICKS—Very prolific and in fruit for several 
weeks, often being known as “everbearing.” 
Fruit large; black; sweet. Does well over the 
Southwest. Ripe June and July. 
NEW AMERICAN—Vigorous in growth and pro¬ 
ductive. Very similar to Downing but some¬ 
what more hardy. Ripe in July and August. 
JAPAN PERSIMMONS 
A distinct fruit of the South which succeeds in practically all sections where cotton is grown. 
The tree has beautiful glossy foliage which makes it very attractive, and the gorgeous colored 
fruits are both delicious and beautiful. 
TANENASHI (Japan)— The best known and one 
of the most popular sorts. Fruits large, conical 
and pointed; orange red in color. Ripens early 
and is one of the surest bearers. 
YEMON (Japan)—Large, flattened and some¬ 
what four-sided; very smooth and regular in 
outline; skin bright orange yellow; flesh yellow 
and generally seedless; quality fine.
