Apricots 
LITTLE SAM 
Apricots average size, 
deep yellow. Bear in 
great clusters on the 
tree and have no ob¬ 
jectionable fiber of any 
kind. It makes a pretty 
tree and worth its room 
for shade but will doub¬ 
ly repay any one with 
its great loads of golden 
fruit. Gets ripe about 
middle of June. Excellent for fresh eating and canning. 
BORDER QUEEN 
A pale yellow apricot, red cheek, luxuriant growth. 
Originated in Western Kansas out where the wind 
blows and the coyotes howl. When we first read an 
account of this apricot I felt sure it would do well in 
Texas and I have not been disappointed. Have had it 
in bearing now ten years and has only missed one or 
two crops in this time. Medium early and extra 
quality. Larger than Little Sam.

Early Wonder Blackberry 
This berry originated here on a place I now own. 
It is large, nearly seedless, very delicious, easily picked 
since the vines are practically thornless. The finest of 
all berries for canning. The most productive of all 
berries. The vines the first year set will run on the 
ground like a dewberry. The second year they begin 
to get off the ground. The tips of the plant vines will 
root like a dewberry if covered up, this giving the 
impression that it is a dew-blackberry cross. While 
Early Wonder has its faults, it gets too soft in wet 
weather; with all this it is the best berry so far found. 
It has been renamed more than any other berry. 
Carried to California it is whooped under the name 
Texas Wonder. You will see it under many other 
names and at a higher price than I sell the plants but 
you will get the Early Wonder and nothing else when 
you buy these plants no matter where they claim it 
originated. The Early Wonder plant is being planted 
on a big scale in California for the juice. One man who 
whoops the Boysen berry has twenty-five acres of 
Wonder. He sells Boysen berry plants but when he 
wants real fruit production he plants Wonder. This 
berry is doing well everywhere tried.
