FIGS 
Figs thrive in all portions of the Cotton Belt of the South as in no 
other section of the world; trees may be found growing in door-yards, 
near trash piles, in chicken runs, and near buildings in most luxuriant 
manner and producing enormous crops. 
No home pantry is complete without canned and preserved Figs for 
Winter use. Figs come into bearing very early. With proper spraying to 
hold leaves on, fruit may be had from May to November. 
They require good fertilization, and do best on firm hard ground, kept 
free from all other growth. 
Commercial Fig Growing is extending throughout the South. They 
can be planted 10 to 18 feet apart and the yield is heavy, thousands of 
pounds of fruit being produced per acre. 
Brown Turkey—Probably the best fig for home use. Medium size, purplish 
brown, very sweet, highly flavored, and fine for eating fresh, with 
cream, or canned. No. 751—2 to 3 ft. No. 752—3 to 4 ft. 
Celestial—Sometimes called Little Sugar Fig; the sweetest of all varieties. 
Ripens in mid-season. No. 756—2 to 3 ft. No. 757—3 to 4 ft. 
Magnolia—Very large, greenish amber, very productive, but not quite 
so hardy as Brown Turkey. This is the Fig grown so extensively in 
South Texas for canning and shipping. A very sweet, lucious fig. 
No. 759—2 to 3 ft. No. 760—3 to 4 ft. 
The Pecan trees we offer are the large thin shell, or paper shell varie¬ 
ties, all of them budded or grafted with a very fine lateral root system. 
In buying Pecan trees this fibrous lateral root system is all-important. 
Our trees will grow right off and produce a crop of nuts in the short¬ 
est possible time. For the quality tree we sell, our prices are very rea¬ 
sonable.

A NEW FIG 
TEXAS EVERBEARING 
This is an outstanding new introduction. The facts we set out below 
are from observation and reliable information, which we checked for 
correctness. This fig was brought to Mississippi a number of years ago 
by a Frenchman from the Old Country. Several years later he moved 
to Tarrant County, Texas, about 15 miles from Fort Worth. He grew 
it for a number of years around his place, and introduced it to the Nurs¬ 
ery trade. 
Facts About This Fig 
(1) It is hardier than any other variety known, and may be grown 
100 miles further north than any other variety. (2) It is very large, as 
large as hen eggs. (3) Quality is unsurpassed. (4) Wonderfully produc¬ 
tive. The owner of a one-acre orchard in Tarrant County in the sum¬ 
mer of 1937 sold more than $1000.00 worth of figs from his one acre. 
(5) Bears early. I saw cuttings that were planted in the nursery row in 
April with 18 well developed figs in August.

the supply. Where the Persimmon is known on the market, it will have 
ready sale.
