 Laving been imported from the Far East. We offer it now, in 

 limited quantities, strong plants that are ready to go right ahead 

 and make strong bearing trees. As a pot or tub plant it is ex- 

 tremely valuable, either indoors or outside. It will Winter safely 

 in an ordinary cellar, or it can be allowed to harden oft" with a 

 few frosts in the early Fall and then brought indoors for grow- 

 ing during the Winter. It will produce three crops in a season.

 and almost seedless ; especially delicious when eaten fresh from 

 the tree. This is one of the rare plants that you should not 

 miss getting. Orders will be filled in rotation as received.
