 the yellow skinned vari- 

 eties, and is much

 skinned kinds. One year

JAPANESE VIOLET 

 PIG. — 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 acquisi- 

 tion 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 deli- 

 cious fruit, which is becoming more popu- 

 lar every year as an article of commerce. 

 Price, 60c. each. 



CUBE POB BOBE WOBM ON PIG 

 TBEES. — A solution of common coal oil 

 and carbolic acid, used in the proportion 

 1.50 part of carbolic acid to 1 coal oil. 

 Syringe infected parts freely and cover sore 

 with a cloth saturated with the liquid after 

 pruning- the trees, always being careful at 

 proper season, and use above solution over 

 the wound. 



The following application is also very 

 effective: Find the hole, squirt in a small 

 amount of carbon bisulphide (high life), 

 then plug the hole with mud or clay.

 the fruit is excellent for shipping, as it 

 will keep for a long- time. It ripens 

 shortly before Christmas and could be 

 shipped to Northern cities, where during- 

 the holidays it would attract great atten- 

 tion. Price, 50c. each; extra size, $1.00 

 each.
