PEARS 
The number of varieties of Pears that 
can be satisfactorily grown in the South 
has been greatly reduced in recent years 
due to the high susceptibility of most 
varieties to blight. The chief effort in 
recent Pear culture has been the imtro- 
duction of blight-resistant varieties; a 
number of these are being tested now, and 
some may prove valuable.

Some Hints for the Culture of Peaches 
Plant 1-year-old trees about 18 x 18 
feet. Prune severely, cutting back 18 to 
24 inches to form a balanced, low, compact 
head. The following spring cut away all 
but three well-distributed branches. The 
annual pruning should consist of cutting 
off about one-third of the last year’s 
growth. Don’t let the branches get too 
long as their weight will split the tree’s 
trunk. Dehorning is done only when there 
has been a bad winter freeze. 
PLUMS. 
Plum trees should be planted 15 to 25 
feet apart each way. They are desirable in 
poultry-yards as the nitrogenous fertilizer 
furnished by the chicken manure seems to 
be just what the trees need; also, the fowls 
clean up the curculio that attack the fruit. 
Burbank. Very large; skin clear rich red, 
showing yellow dots; flesh deep yellow, 
firm and meaty. See illustration page 9. 
Kelsey’s Japan. Very large, heart- 
shaped, greenish yellow fruit, some- 
times spotted red. Vigorous grower; 
prolific bearer; good quality. July. 
Red June. Medium to large, deep ver- 
milion-red fruit; flesh light lemon-yellow, 
slightly subacid. Vigorous grower. 
Prolific. June.

Red June Plum 
PERSIMMONS 
Persimmons naturally do not make a 
heavy root system, and should be very 
carefully transplanted. Cutting back the 
top severely is, in many cases, desirable. 
The beauty of "the fruit, and its excellent 
quality, more than offset the care required 
to make them live. 
Tane-Nashi. The best-known and prob- 
ably the most popular variety. Large 
to very large, roundish, conical, pointed; 
skin light yellow, changing to een red. 
Quality very fine. The Ieading market 
variety.

FIGS 
Fig trees may be planted as close to- 
gether as 10 to 12 feet, and require very 
little cultivation. Cultivation should al- 
ways be shallow as the roots are close to 
the surface. Figs seem to do best when 
their roots can run under buildings. Both 
varieties we list are very hardy. 
Brown Turkey. Medium to large, yel- 
lowish brown; pulp tender, rich and of 
finest quality. Fruit borne on long 
stems, allowing it to hang blossom end 
down at maturity. 
Celeste. Fruit is of medium size with 
thin pale violet skin and firm, juicy, 
rich and sweet flesh. Tree strong grower 
and reliable bearer. Hardiest of all.

Baskets of Satisfaction for Home 
Orchard Owners 
Imagine a morning walk in the garden, 
plucking fresh Peaches, or Grapes, or Sat- 
sumas, and filling your basket with the lus- 
cious fruit. It’s more than satisfaction—it’s 
pleasure and profit combined; it’s pride in the 
trees and in your skill as a fruit-grower. 
Make your selection of fruits from pages 9, 
10, and 11, and begin your home orchard this 
season. 
Wight-grown fruit trees are the best that 
can be had.
