FRUIT DEPARTMENT 
HOW WE CUT OUR BUD WOOD 
All our fruit trees are grown from Bud Wood se- 
lected from heavy bearing trees. We travel hundreds 
of miles every year selecting our propagating scions 
from the best bearing trees in orchards of this part of 
Texas. It is the general practice of nurseries to cut 
their Bud Wood year after year from trees growing 
in the nursery rows. Very few practice Bud Selection 
from vigorous, heavy producing trees in the orchards. 
Before placing your order, ask the nurseryman just 
how he selects his propagating scions. The character- 
istics of the parent has the same influence on the young 
trees which are propagated from it as is true of poul- 
try, livestock, etc. 
PEACHES 
We grow and test hundreds of varieties and offer 
you only the best bearing varieties in this list. 
For the country from San Antonio south, while other 
varieties are also profitable, we recommend especially 
the Angel, Jewel, Honey, Pallas, Best May and Lutti- 
chau, as these are the surest and best bearers. 
From San Antonio north, the above are not to be 
recommended except Pallas and Best May. 
High locations are preferable to bottom lands for 
peaches. Do not plant trees too close together in the 
orchard. The mid-season and later varieties are best 
for canning and preserving.
