GARDEN MANUAL FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. 105 



Cherry Trees. 



Cherry trees, with few exceptions, will 

 not do well in our Southern climate. There 

 are some, however, which, if budded on 

 hardy stools, will do well here and bear 

 fruit' Our wild Cherries being- the hardi- 

 est answer best for stools, but the Mariana 

 Plum will answer equally as well and is 

 quite hardy. The trees we handle are the 

 best for our climate and soil. 75c. each. 



Fig Trees.

 g-reen; crimson pulp; excellent; prolific: 

 rather late, but bears continually until 

 frost. 60c. each. $5.00 per dozen. 



BBOWIT ISCHIA PIG.— A small brown 

 fig; pyraform; when fully ripe of a deep 

 brownish red color; tree especially valu- 

 able as a shade tree, its crown forming a

 larg^e fig; color violet brown; the earliest 

 large fig in San Francisco market. 60c.

£.EMON OR MAY PIG. — 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 sea- 

 son, 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. 



CEI.ESTE OR CEI.es- 

 TIAI. PIG. — We have a 

 g-ood 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 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, $20 per 

 100. Price, extra size

 three year old, $1.00 

 each, $9.00 per dozen;

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, 75c. each. 



MAGNOUA PIG.— The most prolific and 

 popular fig grown. Fruit is large, white 

 or pale green. The tree bears early and 

 is vigorous. It has the distinction of 

 being one of the finest and at the same 

 time the scarcest fruit in the market, and 

 the great demand renders the field all the 

 more inviting to the prospective planter of 

 a commercial orchard. 60c. each. 



CURE POR BORE WORM ON PIG 

 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.

small tree producing the Red Cattley 

 Guava. $1.00 each; large size, $1.50.
