‘PEARS 
The pear is one of the surest and most productive of 
fruit trees, as the blooms will endure the heavy frosts. 
They require deeper soil than peaches and plums and 
low wet places are more suitable. They grow to be very 
large and are long lived trees. The LeConte, Douglas, 
Garber, and Kieffer are very profitable for market. 
PRICES: 
Same grades and prices as peaches.

APPLES 
Apples bloom very late and seldom are killed by frost. 
Some varieties are very heavy bearers, especially the 
Bledsoe and King David, where conditions are favorable 
in the country to the north and west of San Antonio. They 
need deep soil and good cultivation and irrigation. If you 
live in the “Hill Country” and have sub-irrigated or irri- 
gated lands, these later, as well as the summer varieties, 
will do well. We know trees in Kendall, Gillespie, Bandera, 
Kerr and other counties that are very old and are still 
heavy bearers. 
PRICES: 
Same grades and prices as peaches.
