SIZE OF GRAPE. 
Columbian Imperial Grape. 
This is the largest and most beautiful 
purple 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, how- 
ever, while somewhat reducing the size 
of the fruit, does not in the least affect 
its bearing qualities. It is decidedly free 
from disease—miidew and black rot. 
Grows in immense clusiers, berries of 
| rich purple color, fine flavor, sweet juicy 
pulp, compact and even growth. A de- 
sirable shipping and table grape. Price, 
50c. each. 
Celeste or Celestial Fig. 
We have a good supply of one year old 
trees. They have been raised from cut- 
tings in 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 
Celeste is not liable to sour like the 
yellow skinned varieties, and is much 
sweeter than other dark _ skinned 
kinds. One year old, 25c. each, $2.50 per 
dozen; packed and delivered on steam- 
boat or railroad depot, $20 per 100, $150 
per 1000. We have a few hundred of 
extra size trees, which have been trans- 
planted. Price, extra size one year old 
trees, 50 cents each, $4.00 per dozen; 
three year old, $1.00 each, $9.00 per 
dozen; extra large, $1.50 each. 
Brunswick or Madonna Fig. 
The Brunswick. is a large, purple fig 
turning blue when ripe. Quite hardy. 
50c. each. 
New White Adriatic Fig. 
The tree attains an enormous size and 
is an immense bearer, bearing more than 
any other variety known. The fruit is of 
the finest quality; the skin is thin like 
Plant Mexican June Corn, the greatest Corn for June, July and August planting.
