This variety is extensively grown in Italy for drying, and the finest dried Figs of com- 

 merce are obtained from it. Since our climate is well adapted to its culture it will in time 

 prove the most valuable of all Figs. 



Stock very limited. 



Price, 40c. each; ^4.00 per dozen. 



CKI/BSTB, OR CBI/BSTIAI, FIG. 



We have only a limited supply of one year old trees of this variety. They have been 

 raised from cuttings in a sandy loam; are well rooted, and raised to a single stem; not in 

 sprouts, as is often the case, when raised from suckers taken off from old trees. 



The cultivation of this fruit has rather been neglected, which should not be so, as the fig 

 is always a sure crop, with ^ery little attention. It has commenced to be an article of com- 

 merce when preserved; shipped from here it sells quite readily North, put up in that way. 

 The Celeste is the best for that purpose; not liable to sour like the yellow skinned varie- 

 ties, and sweeter than other dark skinned kinds. 



Price, 25c. each: $2.00 per dozen; '^15.00 per 100 and ^125.00 periooo, packed and de- 

 livered on steamboat or railroad dej>ot. 



NBW POMEGRANATE **SPANISH RUBY.'^ 



This new variety of the well known Pomegranate is one of the most beautiful and 

 finest of all fruits of our temperate climate. Fruit very large, as large as the largest ap- 

 ple; eye very small , skin thick and smooth, pale yellow with crimson cheek; meat of 

 the most beautiful crimson color, highly aromatic and very sweet. The Spanish Ruby is 

 a fine grower and good bearer, and the fruit is excellent for shipping, as it will keep for a 

 long time. 



It ripens shortly before Christmas and could be shipped to Northern cities, where dur- 

 ing the holidays it would attract great attention. Price, 30c. each; $2,50 per dozen. 



Fxotscher's Egg Shell Pecans. 



LOUISIANA SOFT SHBI.I. PBCANS. 



This is a variety of nuts which only grows South, and is a sure crop here. Thostf 

 who planted Orange trees twenty years ago, lost most of their labor in January. 18S6, when 

 seven-eighths of trees were killed by the severity of the weather. If Pecan trees had been 

 planted instead, they would have brought a handsome income and continued to increase 

 every year in their production, furnishing a never failing crop for a whole century. 



Where space is no object Pecan trees should be planted, they are be- 

 yond doubt the most profitable of all Fruit trees.
