THE GENUINE SMYRNA FIG 



For many years we have had this plant in our collection, having imported 

 it from the far East. We offer now, in limited quantities, strong plants, on 

 own roots, grown from fruiting wood, which will commence to bear at once. 

 Asapotortub plant, it is extremely valuable, either indoors or outside. It 

 will winter safely in an ordinary cellar, or it can be allowed to harden off with 

 a few frosts in the early Fall and then brought indoors for growing during the 

 Winter. It will produce three crops in a season. The fruit is delicious beyond 

 description, being large and sweet 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 filled in rotation as received. 



Strong 2]/ 2 and 3-inch pot plants, *n cts. each ; 2 for 50 cts* 5 4-inch pot 

 ijants, 50 cts, each ; 6-inch pot plants, $i each, postpaid.
