Ui 



named varieties. Price, 30o. each, $3 per 

 dozen, large size. 

 Celeste, or Celestial Figr. We have 



a good supply of oue )^ear old trees of this 

 variety, also three year old trees. They 

 have been raised from cuttings in a sandy 

 loam, are well rooted and raised to a sin- 

 gle stem ; not in sprouts as is often the case 

 when raised from suckers taken off from 

 old trees. The cultivation of this fruit has 

 rather been neglected, which should not be 

 so, as the tig is always a sure crop, with 

 very little attention. It has commenced to 

 be an article of commerce when preserved; 

 shipped from here it sells quite readily 

 ^orth, put up in that way. The Celeste is 

 the best for that purpose; not liable to sour 

 like the yellow skinned varieties, and 

 sweeter than other dark skinned kinds. One 

 year old, price 25c, each, |2.50 per dozen; 

 packed and delivered on steamboat or rail- 

 road depot $10 per 100, $90 per lODO. We 

 have a few hundred of extra size trees, 

 which have been transplanted. Price, 

 extra size, one year old trees, BO cents each, 

 ^'d per dozen; three year old. 40 cents 

 each, $i per dozen; extra large Sl.-'^O 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 climate than in their 

 own soil, our customers 

 can feel assured that this 

 grand Fig will prove a 

 decided acquisition to 

 the special selected stock 

 we alread}^ carry. The 

 fruit is the largest known, 

 deep violet color, and 

 llesh very sweet. No 

 orchard iscomplete with- 

 out a few trees of this 

 delicious fruit, which is 

 becoming more popular 

 every year as an article 

 of commerce. Price, 7oc. 

 each. 



Brunswick or Mad- 

 .donna Fig. The Brans 

 wick is a large, purple 

 Ug turning blue when 

 ripe. Quite hardy. SOc. 

 each. 



New White Adri- 

 atic Fig. The tree atiaius an enormous size 

 and is an immense bearer, bearing more 

 than any other variety known. The fruit 

 is of thetinest quality; the skin is thin like 

 pap^r, thinnest at base, and not like most 

 other tigs, thicker at the point. The pulp 

 l3 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, 40c. CHch, $4 per dozen. 

 Extra large size trees, 50c. each. 



The I^emon or 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 condition^. The 

 fruit is of a delightful flavor, juicy and 

 very sweet, and excellent for drying, can- 

 uiuff or preservino^. oOc. each. 



CuKK FOR Bore Wohmon Fig Trees.— 

 A solution of common coal oil and carbolic 

 acid, use 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 pro- 

 per 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 budded on haidv stools, w^iU 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 

 handle are the best for our climate and 

 soil. 4()c. enoh.
