Kuscious (((Fruit 
The best soil for this fruit is a strong loam of moderate depth on a dry sub'soil. Trees 
should be handled in same manner when planting, as any other fruit tree, not failing to 
cut back tops, which insures better growth. Most varieties are much finer in flavor if picked 
from tree before they fully mature, and allowed to ripen off the tree. ^
