rather been negJected, which should not be 

 so, as the fig 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 roadily 

 North, 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 oth«r dark skinned kinds. One 

 year old, price 20c. each; $2 per dozen; 

 packed and delivered on steamboat 01 rail- 

 road depot $10 per 100; $90 per 1000. We 

 kave a few hundred of extra size trees, 

 which have been trans-

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 

 already carry. The fruit 

 is the largest known, deep 

 violet in color, and flesh 

 very sweet. No orchard 

 is complete without afew 

 trees of this delicious 

 fruit which is becoming 

 more popular every year 

 as an article of com- 

 merce. Price, 75c. each. 



New White Adri- 

 atic Fig-.— The tree at- 

 tains 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, with- 

 out a hollow space in the center; in fact the 

 whole fruit is one solid pulp. The size of 

 the fruit is larger thai: the white Smyrna 

 Fig and a great deal finer in flavor. It be- 

 gins to ripen in July, and figs ripen from 

 that time continually until frost. The prin- 

 cipal crop is in August. This variety is 

 extensively grown in Italy for drying, and 

 the finest dried figs of commerce are ob- 

 tained from it. Since our climate is well 

 adapted to its culture it will in time prove 

 the most valuable of all Figs. Stock very 

 limited. Price, 40c each; $4.00 per dozen. 

 Extra large size trees, 50c. each. 



The Lemon 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 irct 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 is excellent for drying, canning 

 or preserving. 30c. each. 



Cherry Trees — Cherry trees, with few 

 exceptions, will not do well in our Southern 

 climate. There are some, however, whic-k,

New Pomegranate "Spanish Ruby." 



— This new variety of the well known Pom- 

 egranate is one of the most beautiful and 

 finest of all fruits of our temperate climate. 

 Fruit very large, as large as the largest ap- 

 ple; eye very small, skin thick and smooth, 

 pale yellow with crimson cheek; meat of the 

 most beautiful crimson color, highly aro- 

 matic and very sweet. The Spanish Ruby 

 is a fine grower and good bearer, and the 

 fruit is excellent for shipping, as it will 

 keep for a long time. It ripens shortly be- 

 fore Christmas and could be shipped to- 

 Northern cities, where during the holidays 

 it would attract great attention. Price, 30c. 

 each; extra size, 50c each. 



Large Sweet Pomegranate— Same 



as above, except in color of seed and flavor^ 

 Price, 25c. each; $2.50 per dozen.
