COLUMBIAN IMPERIAL GRAPE.— 

 This is the largest and most beautiful pur- 

 ple Grape in the world. The vines are 

 very productive and grow in any soil. Its 

 deep feeding root enables it to resist any 

 long period of drought, which, however, 

 while somewhat reducing the size of the 

 fruit dees not in the least affect its bear- 

 ing qualities. It is decidedly free from 

 disease — mildew and black rot. Grows in 

 immense clusters, berries of rich purple 

 color, fine flavor, sv/eet, juicy pulp, com- 

 pact and even growth. A desirable ship- 

 ping and table grape. Price, 75c. each. 



JAPANESE PERSIMMONS. (Hya- 

 KUME, Zenpi, Triumph). — This new valu- 

 able fruit has been fruited for the last few- 

 years. Most varieties are of excellent 

 quality ; twice and three tim.es as large as 

 the native kind; very attractive when the 

 fruit is ripe. The fruit often weighs u 

 pound, is very sweet and of a most deli- 

 cious flavor. As they are of easy culture 

 and do well here it is a profitable fruit to 

 grow. Assorted named varieties. Price, 

 30c. each, $.^.00 per dozen, large size. Extra 

 large size, 5;i.oo each.
