Apples 
Summer and early fall varieties of Northern or European origin succeed equally as well as Southern seed- 
lings, 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 the month. 
Some native varieties that keep well when grown in the upper sections of Georgia and Alabama, fail to 
retain their keeping qualities when cultivated in the lower or middle sections of these states. 
For orchard 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 of roots. 
We have advo- 
cated planting whole seedling-propagated trees for forty years past, and hold to the same practice now. 
Clay or clay loam are the best lands for Apples. 
land should be well drained.
