TRUE FACTS 
Our New Delta Fig is fine for commer- 
cial as well as home use. This fig is grow- 
ing fine in all states from southern parts 
of Maryland, Illinois, Oklahoma and south- 
ward. A few grow in Michigan. 
@ If your temperature does not go below 
zero in winter, then cut fig limbs back to 
12 inches high and cover remaining stubs 
with dirt, straw, or leaves 6 inches above 
tops of stubs during late October or early 
November before frost—remove this pro- 
tection 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 and Texas—they grow into large 
trees there. 

The small picture of one-year fig plant in 
lower left corner was taken in March; large 
picture above of same plant was taken in 
August. Note large figs ripening on lower 
limbs. Note fig on little tree in small 
niebiee: The fig is large, straw colored, thin skin, 
= yellowish pink meat, finest flavor, sweet, 
prolific. Skin rarely ever cracks. Ripens August thru October. Citrus 
and fruit growers plant them half way between fruit tree rows to help out 
in slack years.

PLANTING AND CARE 
Plant trees any time from Oct. 15th to March 
15th. THE EARLIER, THE BETTER. Figs grow on 
any soil, but do best on well drained fertile soil 
containing some lime—they also need plenty of 
moisture and humus in soil. 
Plant trees 14x14 feet apart, 222 trees per acre. 
Our one year old trees are 11% to 2 feet size, and 
these small trees grow off ery fast. 
@ 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. Cut tree back to 10 inches high, if we 
failed to do so. 
@ If “fast growth” is desired, dig hole 6 inches 
deeper—throw in 2 or 3 pounds of any good fertil- 
izer, 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 plant 
may not live. Use same method planting 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 distances apart around tree. Begin 14 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 hyd- 
rated lime in each of the two remaining spaces. Then use hoe and pull dirt 
back over fertilizers. 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 
operations every Spring. 
Write for canning formula and fig care from U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, 
Washington, 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 first and second years. 
@ 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. 
S. J. Berger has tested this fig for 10 years. It tops all other figs in 
quality and yield.
