CELESTE OB CELES- 
TIAL 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 raise 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 vari- 
eties, and is much 
sweeter than other dark 
skinned kinds. One year 
old, 25c. each; $2.75 per 
dozen; packed and de- 
livered on steamboat or 
railroad depot, $25 per 
100. Price, extra size 
one year old trees, 75c. 
each, $6.00 per dozen; 
three year old, $1.00 
each, $9.00 per dozen; 
extra large, $1.50 each. 
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 cilmate than in 
their own soil, our cus- 
temers 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. 
NEW WHITE ADBIATIC 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 paper, 
thinnest at base, and not like most other 
figs, thicker at the point. The pulp is very 
sweet, with small seeds, without a hollow 
space in the center; in fact, the whole fruit 
is one solid pulp. Stock very limited. 
Price, 50c. each; $5.00 per dozen. 
LEMON OB 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. 40c. each; $4.00 per dozen. 
CUBE FOR BOBE 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. 
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. 
Guava Trees. 
CATTLEYANUM.—(Yellow Cattley).—A 
small tree producing the Red Cattley 
Guava. $1.00 each; large 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 large Lemon. With 
ordinary treatment cannot fail to give sat- 
isfaction. 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 throughout California and Florida 
for over half a century. $1.00 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- 
eral, 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. 
DOWNING’S BLACE.—Fruit very large, 
black and sub-acid. Fruit about June 1 
to middle of July. 
HICEK’S OR EVERBEARING BLACE.— 
Very popular South; rapid grower, bears 
very young and has a long season, from 
June 1 to the middle of August. Very 
sweet. 
NEW AMERICAN.—Equal to Downing’s 
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’,
