PLUMS 



Plant from 16 to 18 feet apart each vjajy—lM or 170 trees per acre. 



The European varieties should be planted on heavy soil. The curculio must be baffled by jarring- or repelled by smudg- 

 ing", to save the crop ; and the " black knot " removed from all trees, as soon as it makes its appearance, and burned.

ORANGE. The well-known and popular variety known 

 also as the Apple Quince. Large, roundish, of a rich golden 

 yellow, and of fine quality. Productive and profitable when 

 properly grown. Early. 



CHAMPION. The finest late variety. Extremely 

 hardy, of stout, rugged, upright growth ; a profuse regular 

 and early bearer. The fruit is large, obovate-pyriform in 

 shape, and of a lively j-ellow color, very showy and handsome. 

 Flesh tender and rich in flavor. Ripens about two weeks 

 later than the Orange Quince and will keep until Christmas 

 BORGEAT. A great improvement upon the popular 

 Orange Quince, by reason of its large size, beautiful golden 

 color, early ripening, and productiveness. The tree is a 

 stronger grower than the Champion, with an abundance of 

 large, dark-green leaves, begins bearing at an early age and 

 continues to produce each year fully twice as many quinces as 

 the Orange. The fruit is of great size, almost round, with a 

 wide open basin, a brilliant golden-yellow color all over, and 

 cooks tender without any hard lumps, is rich and aromatic; 

 of the very highest quality. It ripens fully three weeks in 

 advance of Champion, and a week to ten days earlier than 

 Orange, and is a splendid keeper. Ea., 50c, 3 for $1.25; doz., 

 $5.00.

MULBERRY.

 splendid shade tree, shapely and compact; of rapid growth, 

 with large, deep green foliage, rendering it a handsome shade 

 tree. The fruit is very abundant, large, sweet, delicious and 

 refreshing, and borne from July until late in autumn. It is 

 entirely free from the mawkish, clogging sweetness of other 

 Mulberries. It is especially desirable for planting in small 

 grounds, furnishing both fruit and shade. Handsome trees, 

 5 to 6 feet high, ea., 50c; 3 for $1.25. 



NATURAL PEACH PITS. I purchase my supply 

 of Peach Pits in large quantities, 

 direct of the collectors in Tenn- 

 essee and South Carolina, hence I 

 know them to be strictly first-class 

 and positively true Southern Nat- 

 ural Pits. I can supply a limited 

 quantity of these choice Pits at 

 50c per peck, $1.25 per bushel. 

 Lots of 10 bushels or more at spe- 

 cial rates.
