300 pence of fruit per person per year is reconmended by the Texas A. & M. 
College and the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, and the above planting is recom- 
mended to provide that quantity for a family of 4 to 6 people. There will 
be a surplus of fruit to sell in heavy-producing years, but a home planting 
should take care of the average or short crop year. It affords fresh fruit 
for the table about 9 months of the year. 

We would suggest adding 2 Japanese Persinmon and 2 Jujube trees, both of 
which are very ornamental and may be placed in the yard about the house. A 
few Apricots might be included for some sections also 300 strawberry plants. 
We have mapped only the leading standard fruit varieties, but we can al- 
so supply trees of ten new peach varieties with surpassing beauty and fla- 
vor and quality. The Honey Special should do well in Districts 2 & 7 as 
well as 5. The Charlotte, Stephenson, June Wax, Short, El Cling, etc., all 
should. be included in District 5 where they originated, and will undoubted— 
ly do equally well in many of the adjoining districts. We will be glad to 
send a descriptive sheet on these varieties. We also have a new pear. 
We can also furnish a limited number of peach trees on NEMATODE-PROOF (or 
resistant) rootstocks that will grow where older trees have died Seana: of 
this root trouble. “
