Japanese Violet . 



Fig. As all Japanese 

 rarieties of fruit trees 

 seem to thrive and do 

 equally as well, and in 

 many iustances 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 a few 

 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 bear- 

 er, 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. Stock very 

 limited. Price 40c. each, $4.00 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 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. 



Cure for Bore Worm on Fig Trees. — 

 A solution of common coal oil and carbolic 

 acid, use in the proportion 1-50 part of car- 

 bolic acid to i of coal oil. Syringe infected 

 parts freely and cover sore with a cloth, 

 saturated with the liquid after pruning the 

 trees, always careful at proper reason, 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 hardy stools, will do well here 

 and bear fruit. Our wild Cherries being 

 the hardiest, answers best forstools, but the 

 Mariana Plum will answer equally as well 

 and is quite hardy. The trees we handle 



J are the best for our climate and soil. 40c. 

 each.
