FRUIT AND ORCHARD TREES 
Orchard Planting 
The land that will produce the best 
farm crops will also produce the best 
orchards. Rolling, well drained lands 
are best for all varieties of fruit. 
No home, large or small is complete 
without an assortment of Fruit Trees. 
We are giving our suggestions for 
the arrangement of an Orchard Plant- 
ing to give the greatest number of 
Trees in a small acreage. 
A few fruit Trees, properly select- 
ed, planted and well cared for, will 
produce enough fruit for the average 
family, with some to sell.

BERRIES 
What is nicer for the home gard- 
en than a berry patch? They have 
the advantage of coming into bearing 
sooner than most fruits and certainly 
nothing is more relished than big, 
ripe, lucious berries. 
Blackberries, Dewberries, Young- 
berries, and Boysenberries are quite 
at home in the South, and nowhere 
are they more productive or the 
quality better. 
BOYSENBERRY—The largest and 
most productive berry known, 
Berries very sweet and juicy. They 
have a mild, distinctive flavor of 
its Own, somewhat suggestive of 
raspberry. The vines are so heavy, 
they should have a three-wire 
trellis five feet high. When plant- 
ing, allow 6 feet each way for 
vines to grow and bear properly. 
DALLAS BLACKBERRY—A rapid 
grower. Long thorny vines. Never 
fails to produce a heavy crop each 
year. One of the most prolific 
bearers. Berries are large, lucious, 
sweet and juicy. 
THORNLESS DEWBERRY—A new 
plant, without thorns. A strong 
grower. Large jet black berries for 
eating fresh or canning. Excellent 
auality. 
THORNLESS YOUNGBERRY—Vines 
are robust, from 10 to 20 ft. long 
in season. Berries are large purple 
when ripe, fine flavor, similar to 
raspberry, sweet, juicy and delic- 
ious. Best results are obtained by 
planting 6 to 7 feet apart in rows 
8 feet apart. A two-wire trellis 4 
feet high is best for successful 
cultivation.

FIGS — Ficus 
No fruit is more valuable in the 
Southern Fruit Garden than Figs. No 
home pantry is complete without 
CANNED AND PRESERVED FIGS for 
winter use. Figs come into BEARING 
VERY EARLY. If regularly sprayed 
with BORDEAUX MIXTURE they will 
hold their FOLIAGE LATE in the sea- 
son, greatly extending the PRODUC- 
ING PERIOD. 
CELESTIAL 
“Little Sugar Fig” 
Ficus species 
The Tree is a vigorous grower and 
profilic bearer. The fruit is medium 
to small, of blush to ivory color; flesh 
is rich, tender and very sweet. So 
tender you can eat, can, or preserve 
them without peeling. It is the hard- 
iest variety we have—hence reliable 
further north. Produces more fruit 
than any other variety. Generally con- 
sidered the business fig of the South. 
Should be grown in tree form. 
BROWN TURKEY— 
Medium size, coppery' brown, 
flesh pinkish-amber, Excellent flavor. 
GREEN ISCHIA— 
Medium size, green. skin, rosy 
flesh. Ripens late. 
MAGNOLIA Ficus species 
This variety should be trimmed to 
bush form, as it bears on new vig- 
orous limbs. It should be cut back 
every spring before budding out, to 
5 or 6 buds of where it was cut the 
vear before. The fruit is medium to 
large, oblong in shape, smooth skin; 
color, pale yellow with purolish-brown 
flesh; pulp, dark red. This variety 
is most used for commercial orchards 
for preserving purposes.

cellent for preserving and when fresh.
