co om ome NEW DELTA FIG 

TRUE FACTS 
Our New Delta Fig is fine for com- 
mercial as well as home use. This new fig 
can be dried, treated with Sulphur Diox- 
ide, packed in barrels and shipped all over 
the world for food. This fig is growing 
fine in all states from Southern parts of 
Maryland, Illinois, Oklahoma, California, 
and Southward. 
%e If your temperature does not go be- 
low zero in winter, then cut fig limbs back 
to 10 inches high and cover remaining 
stubs with dirt, straw, or leaves 6 inches 
above tips of stubs during late October or 
early November before frost—remove this 
protection following spring when danger 
of frost is over. If your temperature goes 
below zero, then pile dirt over the stubs 1 
to 3 feet deep, then lay on 4 inches of 
leaves, then 4 inches of grass over the 
leaves. Our new fig does not need frost 
protection in frost-free sections of South 
Florida, Texas and California—they grow 
into large trees there. 
A customer in Texas earns $300.00 per 
acre by packing the figs in quart straw- 
berry boxes for retail grocery trade—122 
cents per quart. 
The fig is large, straw colored, thin 
skin, yellowish pink meat, finest flavor, sweet, prolific—leaves have 1 to 2 
figs attached—Grows 5 to 7 feet tall first season—Skin rarely ever cracks 
open—Ripens August thru October. 
% We will sell ONE or more fig trees provided you purchase other plants 
listed on our circular; otherwise, not less than 4 sold.

Commonly called “Coldproof” fig becaus 
even if cold kills limbs, it sprouts out from 
roots and sets fruit the following spring. 
This fig bears on one year wood first year 
planted. 


PLANTING AND CARE 
Plant trees anytime from November lst to ‘ 
March 15th. THE EARLIER, THE BETTER. Figs 
grow on any soil, but do best on well drained 
fertile soil containing some lme—thev a!so need 
plenty of moisture and humus in soil. 
Plant trees 14x14 feet apart, 222 trees per 
acre. Our one year old trees are 1 to 2 feet size, 
and these small trees grow off very fast. 
yr Plant when weather is not freezing—never 
let roots get dry nor frozen—keep them wet. Dig 
a hole 2 feet square and 18 inches deep—pour 
large bucket of water in hole—set tree in hole and 
throw surface soil to roots at once. Set tree same 
depth it stood in nursery—tamp down earth 
around roots firmly. 
% If “fast growth” is desired, dig hole 6 inches 
deeper—throw in 2 or 3 pounds of any good fer- 
tilizer, then cover it with 4 inches of gravel or 
clay—tamp down firm, then proceed to set out 
tree as described above. If roots freeze in transit, 
the plants may not live. Use same method plant- 
ing on any other trees except pecan which needs 
deeper hole in the center with post hole digger 
for tap root. 
About April 1st apply fertilizer and lime as 
follows. Take a hoe and scrape up dirt over 
space of 1 or 2 feet square and 1 inch in depth in 4 shapes spaced equal dis- 
tances apart around tree. Begin 12 inches away from tree and apply 1 
pound of manure or 4-8-4 fertilizer in one space and same in space opposite 
this space. Then apply 2 pounds limestone or hydrated lime in each of 
the two remaining spaces. Then use hoe and pull dirt back over fer- 
tilizers. Or you can drive or drill 1 inch diameter holes 1 foot in depth in 
spaces described and fill with fertilizer and lime. Repeat these opera- 
tions every spring. 
Write for canning formula from U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, Washing- 
ton, D. C., Farm Bulletin No. 1031. 
Thoroughly water the trees very often during the first growing season. 
Shallow cultivation 1 or 2 inches deep with rake or hoe is O. K.; keep 
grass and weeds away from trees to a distance of 6 feet out. 
% Soil applications of 2 pounds acid phosphate or phosphoric acid about 
August Ist ripens figs early. Yield is increased if you bend limbs to 
ground, stake them down, then throw dirt over whole tree before frost in 
fall; remove dirt in spring and straighten up limbs. 
Leaf rust or rust-brown spots on leaves damages crops in a few sections; 
control it by spraying when spots first occur and every 3 weeks for 3 months 
with 5-5-50 Bordeaux mixture, that is, 1 pound bluestone, 1 pound fresh 
lime and 10 gallons of water. Rake up and burn fallen leaves in fall.
