SURE CROP 



RUBIRED Nectarine 



It was imported to this country 

 from New Zealand and is one of 

 the finest if not the finest of recent nectarines tried in 

 this country. The tree is vigorous and productive. The 

 fruit is large, roundish, white, and overlaid with very 

 attractive red. The flesh is firm, tender, free from stone 

 and very pleasing flavor. Late mid-season. 



The origin of this nec- 

 tarine is unknown to 

 us. We secured the budwood from a customer of ours 

 in North Carolina. ^Ye were so impressed with the 

 grower's account of this nectarine and the fruits whicli 

 we personally observed that we felt it should be propo- 

 gated and offered to our patrons. The fruit is of large 

 size, smooth skin, fine red color, and excellent quality, 

 with winey flavor which is particularly pleasing.

One of the good, yellow fleshed Nectar- 

 ines. Tree is hardy and vigorous. 

 Fruits are large, somewhat round, and attractively yel- 

 low with red blush, and a freestone. Good quality. 



Note: Nectarines will sell on most roadside and 

 nearby markets and are splendid for canning, eating 

 and cooking purposes. 



In figruring prices you may combine nectarines and 

 apricots, to get advantage of large quantity rates.

FIO TREES 



Fiffs will grow on most any type of soil thriving best 

 where plenty of moisture is available. The varieties 

 offered are hardy in the central and southern area« 

 where winter temperatures do not go below zero. They 

 should be protected during the first and second years 

 growth in the colder areas. The fruits are produced on 

 the new growth usually. Figs are a health giving fruit 

 which are usuable in many ways and should be in every 

 garden or home plantings of fruits and trees. Require 

 about 12 feet spacing at maturity. 



EVERBEARING TYPE Cliaracteristics similar to 

 the Brown Turkey, other- 

 wise it starts to bearing early in the season and con- 

 tinues to bear fruit throughout the growing season into 

 late Fall. This variety is very attractive as to bush and 

 is used for ornamental purposes.
