CLAPP’S FAVORITE.—A large Pear, re- 
sembling the Bartlett, but does not possess 
its musky flavor. Fine texture, juicy, with 
a rich, delicate vinous flavor. It is very 
productive. On Le Conte stock. 
JEFFERSON.—It ripens from the ist to 
10th of June, is in the market with the 
earliest peaches, and brings the highest 
prices. It is above medium size, color 
bright yellow with a bright deep crimson 
cheek. 
KEIFFER’S HYBRID. Fruit large and 
handsome. Ripens end of September or

popular variety which does well in this sec- 
tion on Le Conte stock.

early and profuse bearer. 
Japan Persimmons. 
They respond generously to good care and 
cultivation. The trees are vigorous, pro- 
lific and have few enemies. The region in 
which Japan Persimmons may be grown 
covers the entire cotton-growing belt. A 
carefully selected list of varieties will give 
fruit in abundance from August to Decem- 
ber and Jater. During a very considerable 
portion of this period other fruit crops are 
out of season. Assorted varieties, 5 to 7 
feet, $1.00 each; $10.00 per dozen.

NUT TREES. 
Pecans. 
The Pecan has become a very important 
nut, particularly .in the Southern States, 
and it may be said that there is no other 
fruit or nut tree which fits so well into 
the general farming of this region as the 
Pecan. Cotton, corn, cowpeas and other 
farm crops can be grown to advantage 
among the trees when they are young, and 
even until the trees have begun to bear 
well. In short, the land may be farmed 
almost as though the trees had not been 
planted on it, yet the trees under this man- 
agement will grow and do well. The region 
in which the Pecan may be grown, with a 
proper selection of varieties, extends from 
Virginia to Florida, thence west into Texas 
and Oklahoma. It is destined to become 
the most important horticultural tree in 
this whole region and the Pecan orchards 
of the South will rival the apple orchards of 
the North and Northwest. The Pecan, un- 
der proper conditions, will continue to bear 
fruit long after other fruit trees planted at 
the same time have ceased to grow; in fact, 
a Pecan orchard is equal to many peach 
orchards—for instanee, in length of life 
and fruitfulness. As shade trees they 
make handsome specimens, and they are 
well adapted for street, road and yard plant- 
ing. .
