I'OUttTOVUAU, October 1«; 1S7H.
To tlu k'dilor I / Chr victoria .-MtHinKe;
Mince my it t. i imve been traveling
through parts of (lollad county. Along
Hie banks of the Oolelto I noticed (armo
which had the be*t kind of "lies for or-
chards and vineyards; but saw hardly
any trees or vines growing. 1 was there-
fore quite surprised when I caw* to Mr-
1?. T. 1 lull's farm, which is situated on
the west bank of the Coletto, about one
and a half miles from ColettovUle post-
offlce.
Mr. P.T. Hall is 9 fruit grower or
nurseryman «t a small scale, but oue
who sees his little nurser^ will say at
once, the nun understands his business.
Mr. Hall bos selected a site for the nur-
sery and orchard sloping toward the cast,
the sdfl Is rich, black sand, f never saw
finer peach, apple, pear and llg trees; t|je
rows of young trees looked also excel-
lently. There were no weeds or grogs to
be seat), the ground was well pulverized,
a thing which wo seldom notice.
Most of Uie orchards l saw were dying
out; the farmers naid it was on account
of the groat heat and drought of Inst
suinmjr, but the reason for |t ¡£ tlio far-
inert did not select the proper Bite tor
the orchard, they planted the trees too
feet apart In each direction, the land
must be sloping and no weeds or grass
onght to be allowed to grow in It. It Is
strange, Indeed, to notice that the farmer
knows he has to work hU field, if he
waintá to make a crop, but be thinks Ids
orchards will bear fhiit, and h« only needs
to plant the trees. If the trees do not bear
or chance to die, he blames the country,
and we hear him say, Texas Is not adap-
ted for Improved peaáh trees, apples,
>ara, etc.

On Wednesday of next week, the first
night of the fair, the Amateur Combina-
tton win give a splendid eatertüñmoir „
at tbe Casino Hall. ^ Tltese favorites al- can grow fruit trees In Southwestern
Texas, I must again tell theui to go and
see Mr. G. Onderdonk's orchard and nur-
seiy at the Mission Valley, or Mr. P. T.
Hairs at ColettovUle, and they will be
convinced that we can do It, If we only
of this city anS «elect the proper spot, and then tend to
ttoproperly.
a well laid plot, deeply There should be no farm without an
orchard and vineyard. Go, ye farmers,
and select a place for it at once! Hilly,
or at least sloping. Level land will not
do. Flow deep, make large holes, tbe
larger the better, Insert tbe troes and fill
des np wljth rich soli, bones, rags,
etc., but do not use manure from
tbe stables or cowpen.
It Mr. K. W. Fenner or Mr. P. T. Hall
have not called on you yet to receive
yotir orders, thfcy will do so during this
or next month. If they shpuld fail to
come, go to the nurseries yourselves and
leave your orders there; the trip will do
yon good, It will be a recreation for you,
and before you leave you will undoubt-
edly have learned something. V
At least I warn you not to send for trees
to i'Northern nursery, those trees are of
to you, though I saw hundreds of
trees from the Brenham nursery,
in this or the adjacent counties and not
a single one of them bore fruit.
