D 5 11 Makes straight growing trees. The apples are greenish colored. Gets ripe in August. An abundant and prompt bearer. It ought to be tried in all southern states. Winter Banana: Several years ago we ordered three trees of this remarkable apple by mail. When they reached us they were not much larger than a lead pencil. We set them out, and the third year after setting each tree bore several apples and have been bearing ever since. This is the apple that Andrew Carnegie paid twelve dollars a bushel for. It is a yellow apple, just the color of a banana. I believe it will bear quicker after being set than any other apple. The trees grow very rapidly. Wine Sap: A late fall apple. This apple is rather small, but is line quality and a sure bearer. It is well adapted to our Texas cli- mate, but is better if planted on rather rich, moist soil. Then it is fine. Crab Apples: These small apples are very fine for preserving and jelly. After a market is es- tablished for them they certain- ly sell. SHADES We have a nice stock of the following shades, ranging from one to five feet: Umbrella China, Pecan and Wild Persimmon. MULBERRIES Mulberries bearabundantly and are fine for chickens. There is little difference in the trees. Hicks and black English are probably the best. COMPASS CHERRY The only cherry that will bear in the south. A cross between a cherry and a plum tree. We begin shipping about November 15, and continue to ship ber- ry vines until April 1. Trees are best planted during November, De- cember, January and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Fitzgerald's Nursery; Henry G.
