APPALACHIAN APPLE ORCHARDS 
The A])i)a]acliian Apple Orchards, Tallulah Falls, 
Ueorgia, while principally engaged in commercial 
ap])le orcharding, having 35,000 trees jdanted out in 
orchards, raise a great (luantity of trees for sale in 
their nurseries. Mr. Louis P. Afagid says we have a 
splejidid block of 300,000 one year apple. These 
were worked on whole root seedlings imported direct 
from France.

SALVIA GREGGII 
Raker Bros., Fort AVorth, Texas, are pushing and 
specializing on the Salvia Greggii. Although not a 
new plant, as it was first described in the Botanical 
Alagazine, 1885, it is comparatively little known, and 
Baker Bros, see in it great possibilities for the future. 
The plant is of a shrubby nature, attaining a 
height of 3 to 4 feet and perhaps may he classed with 
the Oaryopfcris iiiastacaiifJius in habit and require¬ 
ments. It may stand a little more cold, hut like the 
Garnopferis it is likely to he impatient of wet and 
cold combined. 
It is a native of the arid Alouutains of Western 
Texas and this of itself would indicate there is a 
large field through the middle west and south where 
it should thrive to perfection. 
Plants set out in a well drained position in the vic¬ 
inity of Philadelphia came through last winter all 
right and the same report comes from Lexington and 
North Abington, Alass. 
If it proves up to exj^ectations it will certainly be 
a desirable acquisition to the list of shrubs on ac- 
Salvia Greggii at Baker Bros.’ Nursery, Fort 
Worth, Texas. 
count of its color which perhaps is best described as 
carmine and its long season of bloom.
