PEARS 
We cannot recommend too strongly the advis- 
ability of planting pear trees for both home and 
commercial orchards. By exercising care in choos- 
ing varieties, there is hardly a section in the South- 
west that cannot have an abundance of this fine 
fruit. For example, the Keiffer is at home in prac- 
tically all soils and climates. Select varieties that 
will give you fruit for eating, canning and preserv- 
ing from July until October. Plant pears 40 feet 
apart, or 27 trees to acre.

PLEASURE—PLANT FOR 
FIGS 
Figs thrive in all portions of the Cotton Belt of 
the South as in no other section of the world; trees 
may be found growing in door-yards, near trash 
piles, in chicken runs, and near buildings in most 
luxuriant manner and producing enormous crops. 
No home pantry is complete without canned and 
preserved Figs for winter use. Figs come into bear- 
ing very early. With proper spraying to hold leaves 
on, fruit may be had from May to November. 
They require good fertilization, and do best on 
firm hard ground, kept free from all other growth. 
Commercial Fig growing is extending through- 
out the South. They can be planted 10 to 18 feet 
apart and the yield is heavy, thousands of pounds 
of fruit being produced per acre. Plant Figs 15 feet 
apart, or 193 trees per acre.
