Southern Seedling Fruits the main feature of the Nursery. 9. APPLES. For reliability no fruit excels this. A fall crop is certain every alternate year, with a fair return in the intermediate period. Lime and ashes must be given the soil, if naturally deficient in these requisite constituents. Summer and early Fall varieties of Northern or European origin will succeed equally as well as Southern Seedlings, but the latter are the only reliable varieties for late Fall and Winter, Northern Winter varieties seldom mature their fruit well here after August. The larger proportion decay and fall from the tree during that month. Some native varieties that keep well, when raised 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. Due allowance must, there- fore, be made in selecting Winter varieties. Few Apples raised in a dry, sandy soil, will keep well in Winter. A requisite for a Winter Apple is a clay or. a sandy loam, with clay subsoil. Standards are intended for orchards. For gardens the Dwarfs, grafted upon the Paradise stock, are preferable. They bear early and abundantly ; the fruit is of beautiful appearance, and of fine quality. They require a rich soil, and such cultivation as is requisite for a garden crop. They can be trained as bushes or small pyramids. Plant so as to leave the connecting point of stock and graft above ground, as the Dwarf becomes Standard when the graft is allowed to strike roots, and to this it has a great tendency. For Dwarfs, Summer and Fall ripening varieties are preferable. Paradise stock stops its
