PERSIMMONS 
Persimmons are destined to become one of the leading fruits of the Cotton Belt and lower South.. 
This may seem an extravagant statement, but as soon as there is enough of the fruit on the market 
for the people to learn the richness and deliciousness, the demand will increase far in excess of the 
supply. Where the Persimmon is known on the market, it will have ready sale.

PEARS 
We cannot recommend too strongly the advisability of planting pear trees for both home and com- 
mercial orchards. By exercising care in choosing varieties, there is hardly a section in the Southwest 
that cannot have an abundance of this fine fruit. For example, the Keiffer is at home in practically all 
soils and climates. Select varieties that will give you fruit for eating, canning and preserving from 
July until October. Plant pears 40 feet apart, or 27 trees to the acre.

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 
bearing 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 throughout 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.
