VERY MAN THAT OWNS A HOME IN TEXAS MAY HAVE FRUIT! If he expects the same that he had in New York, Illinois, California or Georgia, he may be disappointed, but if he will plant such varieties as are best adapted to our soil and climate, he can have just as much and as good fruit as in any state in the Union. Much harm has been done by agents from other states selling in Texas trees that are not adapted to this soil and climate. Persons buying these trees usually pay three prices for them, and after planting them out, will wait four, six or ten years in vain for fruit, and then conclude that Texas is not a good fruit country, or that they do not know how to care for them. It is the nurseryman's duty to test these new varieties, and recommend to his customers only such as will succeed. We have a large test orchard in connection with our nursery, and propagate mostly from bearing trees. This Catalogue is our only agent. We deal directly with our customers, and rarely ever fail to give satisfaction. We pack in the most approved manner, and always guarantee our trees to arrive in good condition. SOIL AND LOCATION.—Any good soil that will grow cotton or corn will do for an orchard, though a sandy loam with clay foundation is best suited for a great variety of fruit; in fact, everything that will grow at all here. This is best for the apple and pear. Peaches, plums, etc., will grow everywhere, even in rocky and gravelly soil, but they should have a high, exposed location. If planted in a low, sheltered place, the fruit is often killed by late frosts. The prairies of West and Northwest Texas are admirably adapted to the peach, plum, apricot and grape. The coast country is best for the pear and strawberry. PLANTING DIRECTIONS.—In preparing th
