CELESTE OR C

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

as the fig is always a sure crop, with 
very little attention. It has commenced

Sucker State.
