JAPANESE VIOLET 



FIG. — As all Japanese 



varieties of fruit trees 



seem to thrive and do 

 equally as well, and in 

 many instance better 

 in our climate than in 



their own soil, our customers can feel 

 assured that this grand Fig- will prove a 

 decided acquisition to the special stock 

 we already carry. The fruit is the largest 

 known, deep violet color, and flesh very 

 sweet. No orchard is complete without a 

 few trees of this delicious fruit, which is 

 becoming more popular every year as an 

 article of commerce. Price, 75c. each. 



LEMON OR MAY FIG. — This is the 

 earliest of all the Fig - varieties, producing 

 medium sized cream or lemon yellow fruit, 

 which ripens as early as the beginning- of 

 May. The tree bears twice during- the 

 season, the second crop ripening only under 

 extremely favorable conditions. The fruit 

 is of a delightful flavor, juicy and very 

 sweet, and excellent for drying-, canning- or 

 preserving. 4 0c. each. $4.00 per dozen. 



CURE FOR BORE WORM ON FIG 

 TREES. — A solution of common coal oil 

 and carbolic acid, used in the proportion 

 1.50 part of carbolic acid to 1 coal oil. 

 Syringre infected parts freely and cover sore 

 with a cloth, saturated with the liquid after 

 pruning- the trees, always careful at proper 

 season, and use above solution over the 

 worm. 



Guava Trees. 



(Fsidium.) 

 CATTLETANUM.— (Yellow Cattley).— A 

 small tree producing- the Red Cattley 

 Guava. $1.00 each; larg-e size, $1.50. 



Lemon Trees. 



AMERICAN WONDER LEMON. — Has 



created a sensation wherever shown. Habit 

 dwarfed and vigorous, fruit three times 

 the size of any other larg-e Lemon. With 

 ordinary treatment cannot fail to give sat- 



isfaction. Experts pronounce it simply 

 enormous. Price, 50c, 75c, $1.00 and $1.50 

 per tree. Extra large $3.00 each. 



TABLE OR COMMERCIAL LEMON.— 

 No orchard should be without a few of 

 these trees. They belong- to the Citrus 

 family and as all citrus trees do well in 

 the Southern States, we ■ know that the 

 Lemon will do equally as well. It has been 

 grown through California and Florida for 

 over half a century. $1.50 per tree. 



Lime Trees. 



The lime is tenderer than either the 

 Orange, Pomelo or Lemon, and should be 

 planted in South Florida or the Islands. 

 The use of Limes in preference to Lemons 

 for summer drinks is becoming: more gen- 

 erel, the demand far exceeding the supply. 

 $1.00 each. 



Mulberry Trees. 



Very popular, especially South, where the 

 fruit is fine food for hogs and poultry. 

 The tree is also fine for shade, as it grows 

 rapidly and is very hardy. 



DOWNING'S BLACK.— Fruit very larg-e, 

 black and subacid. Fruit about June 1 

 to middle of July. 



HICK'S OR EVERBEARING BLACK.— 

 Very popular South; rapid grower, bears 

 very young- and has a long season, from 

 June 1 to the middle of August. Very 

 sweet.

 in all respects, continuing- in. bearing fully 

 as long-, and a hardier tree. Fruit jet 

 black. 



BLACK ENGLISH. — Fruit very small and 

 sweet, but not as good as Hicks'. 



All the above varieties, 75c each.
