43124 to 43187— Continued. 



43138. " Weeping. These are most showy and decorative trees to 

 plant, being ornamental as well as useful. The pendulous habit 

 makes them very conspicuous wh(>n plautetl on a lawn or drive. 

 If the ground is well manured and cultivated around them, they 

 will produce great crops of fruit of splendid quality. These are 

 worked on standard stocks, Vanging in heig'ht from 5 feet to 6 feet 

 6 inches." 



43139 to 43146. '^ Amygdalus persica nectarina Ait. Amygdalaceip. 



Nectarine. 



43139. "Anscniie. The parent of Goldmine. The fruit is of the 

 largest size and of very light color; flesh tender, melting, iu\(l of 

 most delicious flavor; tx'ee extremely hardy and a regular croitper." 



43140. "Diamond JuMlce. This new nectarine is very large in size, 

 larger than any except Zealandia; bright red in the sun, dull red 

 in the shade ; flavor exquisite, f.esh greenish white, melting, and 

 very sweet ; a prodigious bearer. Young transplanted trees in the 



• nursery rows were carrying fruit, and the branches of the older 



trees were bending do'wn with the weight of fruit. The points in 

 this nectarine are its heavy cropping, large size, and delicious 

 flavor." 



43141. " Goldmine. The fruit is of enormous size. It is a perfect 

 freesione, the pit being extremely small for so large a fruit. The 

 fruit is a beautiful cream color, tender, juicy, melting, sugary, and 

 of most delicious flavor ; color bright bronzy red ; season of ripen- 

 ing, second week of February ; a very heavy cropper." 



43142. " Lippiatt's Late Oranye." 



43143. '' Muir's Seedling. A new seedling of the Goldmine type, 

 resembling that variety in size and color, but ripening when Gold- 

 mine is all finished, thus prolonging the season and an acquisition 

 on that account." 



43144. "New Boy. Fruit of large size and extremely handsome, 

 covered all over with brilliant crimson ; flesh white, juicy, sugary, 

 and of exquisite flavor ; tree very hardy and a profuse cropper ; 

 one of the best." 



43145. "Radium. A new nectarine of large size, orange shaped, 

 highly colored, very sweet ; ripens just after Goldmine. It is quite 

 free from that objectionable point which all the large nectarines 

 possess ; therefore, for packing, Radium comes first." 



43146. " Surecrop. A seedling of my own raising, which resembles 

 Goldmine in size and appearance, but is a much heavier cropper. 

 It has never failed to carry a full crop. I have every confidence 

 in recommending this grand new nectarine." 



43147. Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck. Rutacese. Orange. 



" Best Seedless.^ A new local seedling of great merit and, as its name 

 indicates, perfectly seedless ; in quality one of the finest we have ever 

 sampled and sure to become a great favorite; the most vigorous of all 

 oranges."
