For the past 25 years I have been employed in the Nursery business, under the ef- 
ficient and capable leadership of Mr. J. R. Woodham, who established Newton Nurseries 
52 years ago. 
During these years I have studied very carefully, the fruit tree business, paying par- 
ticular attention to his methods of propagating and cultivating different kinds of fruits. 
In assuming ownership and responsibility of the nursery, it will be my aim to car- 
ry on the business as nearly in keeping with the policy by which The Newton Nurser- 
ies have been conducted as is possible for me to do. 
The varieties of fruits I am offering are the same he has grown and found, from long 
experience and careful study, to be suited to this soil and climate. 
APPLES—KING OF FRUITS 
The varieties offered in this list have been selected from hundreds of different va- 
rieties tested on our own grounds during several years; the best varieties ripening in suc- 
cession that are suited to the soil and climate of the Southern states. 
Early Harvest—Large, bright yellow, tender and juicy, and of the highest quality; indis- 
pensible, even in the smallest collection. Also known as Yellow May; the first to ripen, 
June 1 to 15. 
Early Red Margaret—Small to medium, rather flat; skin yellow, with dark red stripes, 
of high flavor, strong grower and desirable and ripens June 20 until July 20. This apple 
is more desirable than Red June and is fast taking its place. 
Reagan—Medium to large, red striped, tender, juicy and sweet; immense bearer, one of 
the best eating apples known; tree a strong grower and young bearer; ripens July and 
August, lasting six weeks. This apple is known over the state under different local 
names, as Day, Clark, Boler and Jack. 
Summer Queen—Large, oblong, green with red cheek; yellow flesh, fine flavored. One of 
the most desirable August apples. Should be in every collection. 
September Red—Medium red, yellow flesh, fine quality, thrifty grower, and a heavy 
bearer, ripening during September. This apple has been selected from 30 varieties as 
being the best of its season. 
Bill Arp (Doolittle)—Large, red cheek, most covered with deep crimson and white dots; 
flesh yellow, tender and sweet, of the best quality; tree strong, upright grower. Ripens 
during September and through Cctober. This is decidedly the best late apple we have 
ever grown, and the demand for it continues to increase with each season.
