When the useful acd the
beautiful are combined, a master-piece
of industry and art
has been accomplished. This
truism finds a liappy illustra
tion in ttta success: with -which
. the well directed labor's of sev
enteen years have been crown
ed. Commencing iu 18G0, with
only forty acres of land, the
proprietor of Ro3Edalc lias
pushed his business ahead, un
til his orchards and nurseries
include an area of a hundred
and seventy acres.
This year there are no fewer
thanfive thousand select peach
trees in bearing ripening from
Ma- till November. There are
fifty varieties of the freestone'
alone, and nearly as many ot the
cling, besides twenty five varie
ties of new peaches. The most
ot the varieties are full bearers.
ThU will be apparent when it
is remembered that as many as
a barrel of peaches have been
yWded by a single tree. Mr.
Watson is tbe pioiucr of fruit
growing in this county. He
was the first to demonstrate the
adaptability ot our soil and cli
mate to the growing of the fin
est fi nits. An ounce ot demon
stration, from actual experiments,
is worth more than a ton of the
ory. At Eosedale, Mr. Watson
has raised as fine early apple? as
they do in Tcnucssee or Ken
tuekv. From ayoung tree, on
ly a faxr years old, be has "gath
ered a birrel of apples. There
is over fifty varieties ot apples,
ripening from the middle of
May till Decemhcr. Many
thousands of these will be ready
for transplanting in the tall.
The pear trees, with their
beautiful fruit, half bidden iu
thick green foliage, present a
most charming appearance. The
varieties os this fruit are very
extensive. In this climate they
do well. A gentleman who has
eaten pears in both hemis
pheres, told us recently that he
had eaten as- fine ones at Rose
d tie as he ever had seen any
where. This assertion will not
appear extravagant, when it is
re nembered that pears weigh
ing neaily a ponud have been
raised here. This, in all reason,
is proof tint the country is
adapted to the growth of the
rich, luscious fruit for which it
is so pre-eminently ditinguish
nd in the fruit world. The va
riety of this fruit grown here,
i very extensive, and there are
five thousand trees ready for
transplanting in the fall. The
variety of nectarines and apri
cots grown by Mr. Watson, is
very extensive.
The success which has ben
achieved at Rosedale in fruit
it
growing, is oniethmg wonder
ful, and reflects the highest
credit on the energy and entcrr
prie of its proprietor. Enter
ing on the business with a full
determination to give it a lair
trial, the intelligent gentleman
who undertook it, waj oon con"
vinced of the practicability of
making fruit growing and the
nursery business a success The
results that have followed this
Wi'll conducted enterprise, are
well known to thousands ot the
citizens of Texis who have eat
en of the fruits. The health
and vior of the trees which Miv
Watson has grown here can be
attested by thousands and thu
sands of those residing in the
Stat", scattered from Red river
to the Rio- Grande, and who
have bought and cultivated the
'iruit trees grown at this nursery.
Tree- cultivated in this nur
sery, have been transplanted
as farso'ith and west as Browns
ville and El Pao, where they
thrivo and boir well.
At Ro3edal'e, tJSrere will he
more than ten thousand peach
trees ready fof transplanting
next fall, and something ap
proximating tlm same number
of apple tree. It may be asked
"how will be ever dispose' of
this immense numbtr of select
f i'i it tree??" Easy enough. Mr.
Watson' has- a- l-argo number ot
agents travelling in his interest.
Among theso agents are two of
his own' manly sons, whoso high
moral bearing must bs to him
a source' of more pride and
pleasure" thjn all the beautiful
fruit ot Rosedale, or even the
goldjir fruits of the garden of
Ileiporido-.,- wero tboy growiiijj
in his extensive orchards. In
fact Mr. Watson has not per
mitted fruit growing to absorb
his attention so exclusively as
to leave no time for the cultiva
tion of an3' thing else. The
three, who are nearly or quite
grown of his five sons, show
the judicious training they have
received from the parental hand,
and with what care and gentle"
ness the exuberant offshoots of
youth have been pruned, exhib
iting as the result ot this labor
of love, symmetrical bodies, un
seated by rough usase, and
hi i litis Untainted by immoral
examples. In fact we believe
it is the highest pride of Mr.
Watson, that he will leave sons
who will thoroughly understand
the business he has labored so
long to establish, arid who will
conduct it witll that judicious
system which has made his own
admini-tration of it, such a grat
ifying success.
In an establishment of tlii3
character, where the ornamen
tal has kept even pace- with the
useful, it would be vain to un
dertake to give even a fabit
"outline of the beauty of the
ground, which have been laid
yfl with the most captivating
taste, jrowinir the ornamental
trees and flowers of every clinic,
trbm the further Iud to the Pa
cific slope, as well as those which
are native and to the manor
born. There is no end to the
roses. An endless -wilderness
ot these is the best description
we can think of. The dwarf
hedges, properly pruned, con
tribute 110 small share of beau
ty to the grounds. Evergreens
in countlees numbers and va
rieties, seem to extend to the
visitor a hearty wchome. Ce
dars and cypresses, indigenous to
China and Japan, floui'ish side
by side with the Oregon pine
and show no symptons of mel
ancholy for having left the land
of their nativity.
In an article of this character
it is impossible in the space at
Our command, to do a tithe.of
justice to tho subject. Even if
a olnme were writlea on this
theme, - and the material at
Rosedale are ample tor the pur
pose, there would still be much
lelt unsaid. The pleasure to be
derived from viewing thifc
grounds, and the lessons qf
practical utility that can be
learned while doing so, would
be cheaply purchased by the
fatistne of a day's ride. The
thoughtful farmer will learn at
what an insignicant price of
money and labor, he -can sur
round himself with the luxury
of fruits as delicious as ever
gratified tho palate of man,
and tho neat housewife, whos
eye, ever awake to the benutif ul
and capable of taking it in at a
glace, will perceive at what a
trifling cost she can surround
her own home, be it humble or
pallatial, with beautiful orna
ments, which will be a perpet
ual source of joy.
Parties residing in remote
parts of the country, can have
their orders filled as well as if
they attended the sjlectinn in
person. Y'hatevcr is ordered
is pacltcd up with scrupulous
care. Every tree or ornamental
shrub that leaves the packer- is
w rtiTanttd to come fully up to
what it is represented. Accom
panying each bill, is a cata
loaue, containing full and com
prehensive' directions for the
cultivation of the tree or plant.
The just reputation for supe
rior excellence which" the fruits
of Rosedale has acquired, is not
confined to Texas. Ordera have
been filled for Louisiana, and it
we are not mistaken, for Mis
sissippi also. Arkans.is has giv
en sevcal orders, both for lruif
trees, and for shrubbery. We
have omitted to say anything
about hot house flowers,- frailcrs
and creepers, because we f'clfl
oar utter incompetency to do
justice to the beautiful and del
icate subjects, native and exotic.
Tun side walk on Main Street,
a large portioa of which was
built by Mr. Grabcr at his own
expen'3?, is now needing repairs,
and we think the city authori
ties should have it done at once.
There was no obligation in the
