impression is a mistaken one, as there does not only grow 
much and good fruit, hut it is of especial good flavor, of 
beautiful color, and ripens several weeks earlier than in 
Eastern and Northern Texas, Thirty years ago no 
potatoes could he grown in South-western Texas. The 
plant grew, but no potatoes, until the early ripening sorts 
as “ Early Rose,” etc., were introduced, and now there 
are often two harvests in one year. The same can be 
said of fruit culture, if the proper kinds are planted, 
those suitable for the climate. The time is not distant 
when we will raise fruit for export instead of importing it 
as we are doing now. The reason for the supposition 
that no fruit grows here lies in the fact that until now 
little or no experiments were attempted with the various 
kinds; all trees planted were brought here from the 
North ; planters were careless. Every summer, often in 
the spring, the nursery agents arrive with their beautifully 
illustrated catalogues and price-lists, or they have gigantic 
fruits in bottles, raised expressly for the purpose in Cali¬ 
fornia, These agents are so importunate that they receive 
orders for the sake of getting rid of them, A census 
bulletin shows that of all trees planted in the United 
States half die the first year, and before they reach three 
years one half of the remaining ones die, and it is 
universally accepted that after 20 years only five per 
cent., or one out of every 20 trees is alive; herein 
South-western Texas, scarcely one out of 40.
