There are apple orchards in the Territory that have been in bearing for 15 years, and are still in fair condi- tion. These orchards are usually near the Indian agen- cies or Mission schools, and are cared for by white people. When Oklahoma was first opened for settle- ment there were several wagon loads of apples taken to Guthrie and Oklahoma city, from the Creek Nation.

The fruit is tlio sameqtality as that grown in southern Missouri and northern Arkansas. Pew peach orchards have been planted, and these are mostly of seedling trees. The light open winters fre- quently cause the crop to be diminished or destroyed by the late spring frosts. Plums seem to be perfectly at home here, and are almost a sure crop every year. Grapes and berries are usually very free from disease, and bear heavily. The fruit is large, well developed and of a fine quality. The soil and climate of Indian Territory are both very favorable to the production of fruit, and with perma- nent white settlement horticulture has a bright future within the borders of the Territory. q.
