NEW WHITE ADRIATIC PIG. 



This valuable variety has been introduced into this country from South Italy, where 

 it is esteemed as the finest of all figs. The tree attains an enormous size and is an im- 

 mense bearer, bearing more than any other variety known. 



The fruit is of the finest quality; the skin is thin like paper, thinnest at the base, and 

 not like most other figs, thicker at the point. The pulp is very sweet, with small seeds, 

 without a hollow space in the center, in fact, the whole fruit is one solid pulp. 



The size of the fiuit is larger than the white Smyrna Fig and a great deal finer in 

 flavor. It begins to ripen in July, and Figs ripen from that time continually until frost. 

 The principal crop is in August. 



Japanese Persimmons are not only very useful, but also very orna- 

 mental and may be considered besides the orang-e the most 

 decorative for a home garden.
