APPLES 
Summer and early fall varieties of northern or European origin succeed equally as well as southern seedlings, 
but the latter are the only reliable varieties for late fall and winter. Northern winter varieties seldom retain their 
fruit well here after August, as it then decays and drops during that month. 
Some native varieties that keep well when grown in the upper sections of Georgia, South Carolina, North 
Carolina and Alabama, fail to retain their keeping qualities when cultivated in the lower or middle sections of 
these states. "The season of maturity is given for the latitude of Augusta. 
For orehard and long-lived trees plant only standards, grown by either being budded or grafted upon whole 
seedling stocks. 
We do not propagate Apple trees by grafting upon pieces cf roots, 
We have always advocated 
planting trees propagated on whole seedling stocks, and hold to the same practice now. 
Clay or elay loam are the best lands for Apples. 
Should be well drained. 
Plow well and deep before setting the trees.
