PPLES Apples are the one all-purpose fruit for every locality, and are bound to remain the standard fruit for the South, just as for other sections. Every home should have some Apple trees—at least a dozen; if there is room to plant more, they should be set out, by all means. There is nearly always a good demand at market, and a few trees 8 or lo years old will bear enough fruit to bring in considerable money. In selecting kinds for the home orchard, there should be a few early- bearing sorts for summer sauce and pies, as well as for dessert purposes; there should also be some fall varieties, with a liberal number of late sorts to keep during winter. With a good selection and proper care of the fruit, fresh Apples may be had the greater part of the year—8 to lo months at least. Apple trees will thrive almost anywhere; a mellow soil, well-drained, is essential. Soil that will grow good crops corn or cotton will generally do well. In the following list the varieties are given in the order of their ripening, commencing with the earliest and continuing throughout the season. In several instances, two or more varieties ripen at the same time. We also divide our Apples into three groups—-summer, fall and winter varieties. Many of the fine winter varieties that succeed so well in the North and in the mountain sections of North Carolina and Virginia, will not succeed in the lowxr lands and the great cotton-belt of the South. There are, however, several varieties of fall and winter Apples which do succeed in the cotton-belt, which we feel safe in recommending, and feel that more of this list should be planted. This list will be found on page 9. Early and summer varieties succeed generally throughout the southern and border states, the cotton belt, as well as in the Piedmont and mountain sec- tions. Further particulars will be found in our booklet How to Plant and Care for an Orchard." which will be sent free on request. Apple trees arrived promptly and in good con- dition.
