Japanese Violet Fig. 
As all Japanese varieties of fruit trees 
seem to thrive and do equally as well, 
and.in many instances better in our 
climate than in their own soil, our cus- 
tomers 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 com- 
merece. Price, 75c. each. 
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 of coal oil. Syringe 
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. 
Cherry Trees. 
Cherry trees, with few exceptions will 
not do well in our Southern climate. 
There are some, however, which, if bud- 
ded on hardy stoois, will do well here 
and bear fruit. Our wild Cherries being 
the hardiest answer best for stools, but 
the Mariana Plum will answer equally as 
well and is quite hardy. The trees we 
Plant Amber and Orange Sorghum, 
Broom Corn, Dhouro or Egyptian Corn.
