STUART'S FINE APPLES 
The apple is one of the most dependable and profitable of fruits. The trees are 
hardy, long-lived, and bloom so late that crops are seldom lost because of frost or late 
freeze. The apple is adapted to many soils of the Southwest and will do well in sandy 
soils too wet for peaches. We recommend the following varieties. Ripening dates are for 
North Central Texas. 
RED JUNE: Ripe about June 20th. Medium size, good producer. A good cooking apple. 
Makes thrifty trees. 
YELLOW TRANSPARENT. Ripens about with Red June. Large. Clear yellow color. Trees 
bear quite young. The Yellow Transparent is a favorite for jelly, pies, and preserves. 
KING DAVID: (3) Aug. 20th. Cross with Winesap_and Jonathan, has the flavor of both. 
Medium to small, on account of its large crops. Heaviest producer of all. Very red, 
fine cooker, and a favorite eating apple. Good pollinator for Red Delicious. 
JONATHAN: An old favorite. Good flavor, excellent for eating and cooking. Red. Medium 
size. Dependable bearer. Probably the best pollinator for Delicious. Ripe September 1. 
DELICIOUS, DOUBLE RED: (1) Early Sept. No other apple has the distinct flavor of this 
old favorite. This is the one that comes to mind when someone mentions eating an 
apple. No other apple has the peculiar five points at the bloom end of the fruit. Shy 
bearer if you do not have good pollinators. The largest of all apples. Fine flavor. The 
thrifty, fast-growing trees seem to be the hardiest of all. z 
YELLOW DELICIOUS: (2) Ripe with Red Delicious. Far better producer. Shaped almost 
like Delicious, but the five points are not nearly as pronounced. Golden, transparent 
color. Heavy bearer. Fruit large, ships well. A favorite on many markets. Often brings 
100 prices. Excellent for eating and a good cooker. We highly recommend Yellow 
elicious. 
HOLLAND: Ripe early August. Native Texan. Description and picture page 5.

STUART'S DELICIOUS PEARS 
The pear is one of the most dependable of all fruits. The tree is long lived, and seems 
to withstand unfavorable weather conditions better than any fruit-bearing tree. The 
fruit has many uses, hauls and keeps well, and stays on the tree for a long period. This 
allows ample time for marketing. 
BARTLETT: (5) Best of all for quality of the fruit. However, blights in most sections of 
the Southwest. Ripe in early August. If the Bartlett does well in your section, by all 
means plant it. 
DOUGLAS: (4) Bears very young; often has fruit in the nursery rows on two-year trees. 
Ripe August 20th. Fruit should be thinned. Good quality. Medium size. Trees nearly 
blight proof. Medium sized tree. 
GARBER: Late August. Sometimes called Sugar Pear. Tree a good producer, long lived. 
Thrifty and will stand neglect. Fruit large, golden-green color. Fine quality, and good 
eating pear. Excellent for canning. One of the best. 
KEIFFER: Picture and description on page 5. 
LE CONTE: Early August. Tree hardy, fast growing, and not subject to blight. Fruit bell 
shaped, yellow, with creamy flesh. Fine for eating. Good cooker. An old southern 
favorite. 
. NEW PEARS 
After many years of observation at our Experiment Stations, these pears have been 
introduced as worthy of planting. 
ORIENT: Ripe late August. Most noteworthy is this pear, which has been under observa- 
tion at the Knoxville, Tenn., Station for more than 18 years. During this time, the Orient 
has been blight proof. The tree has a stocky trunk and open shape top, is large and 
vigorous, and should appeal, especially, to the orchardist. 
The very white fleshed fruit is covered by a greenish yellow peel, on which black 
dots appear at ripening. Should be picked when firm for market. Excellent cooker and 
canner. Fine for eating. 
RICHARD PETERS: Ripe Sept. Ist. Fast growing trees are said to 
be blight proof. Promises to be a leader in this part of Texas. Needs 
trying over larger area. Fruit large and yellow. 
PATTON: Tree is hardy and blight resistant. Fruit is of nice size, 
of greenish, transparent color. Delicious when wrapped and stored.
