JAPANESE VIOLET 

 PIG. — As all Japanese 

 varieties of fruit treey 

 seem to thrive and do 

 equally as well, and i:i 

 many instances betto' 

 in our climate than in 

 their own soil, our cus- 

 tomers can feel assured 

 that this grand Fig will 

 prove a decided acquisi- 

 tion to the special stock 

 we already carry. The 

 fruit is the largest 

 known, deep violet color,

 without a few trees of 

 this delicious fruit,

CUBE FOB BOBS WORM ON PIG 

 TBEES. — A solution of common coal oil 

 and carbolic acid, used 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 being careful at 

 proper season, and use above solution over 

 the wound. 



The following application is also very 

 effective: Find the hole, squirt in a small 

 amount of carbon bisulphide (high life), 

 then plug- the hole with mud or clay. 



Apricot Trees. 



The fruit of the Apricot is similar in 

 shape to the Peach, except that it is not 

 downy and is almost perfectly smooth. 

 The leaves are cordate or heart-shaped and 

 not long as Peach leaves, and the bark of 

 the wood is coarse grained and not smooth ( 

 and glossy like Peach wood. Apricots 

 should not be confounded with Nectarines 

 or Naked Fruit Peaches, which are often 

 mistaken for Apricots. We handle the fol- 

 lowing varieties: Royal, Bongoum, Santa 

 Fee. Price 75c. each; $6.00 per dozen. 



Cherry Trees. 



Cherry trees, with few exceptions will 

 not do well in our Southern climate. There 

 are seme, however, which, if budded on 

 hardy stools, will do well here and bear 

 fruit. Our wild Cherries being the hardi- 

 est 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. $1.00 each. 



Orange Trees. 



In planting an orange grove it is poor 

 business to try to get the cheapest trees \ 

 possible. Cheap trees seldom prove healthy 

 and fruitful. Orange nursery trees, to 

 prove vigorous and prolific, should have | 

 large, well formed root systems and strong, j 

 clean, healthy tops one or two years old. 

 Our trees are grown on loose sandy loam j 

 land, which permits the root systems to I 



develop properly, and we give them every 

 care and plenty of fertilizer, which makes 

 strong, vigorous tops. We have no White 

 Fly on our place, and our trees are free 

 from other insects and diseases. 



Citrus Canker, that dreaded enemy of 

 all Citrus Trees, is to he found in nearly 

 every section of the citrus belt, and ex- 

 treme care must he exercised in buying 

 your stock. We have a clean Certificate 

 from our State Department which accom- 

 panies every shipment, thus assuring you 

 of good, healthy trees. 



BUDDED OBANGE TBEES OP TBE 

 FOLLOWING VARIETIES: 



GBAFEFBUIT. — From our viewpoint the 

 old "Florida Grape Fruit" is perfect, and 

 therefore, cannot be improved upon, and 

 it was from the very best seedling tree 

 the writer ever saw, producing the very 

 finest fruit possible. 



LOUISIANA SWEET OBANGE.— Very 

 large, the favorite Orange of Louisiana; 

 skin thin, very sweet, very juicy, hardy, 

 good color, favorite in the markets of the 

 world; none better; grows upright, rather 

 bushy; grows in any soil. 



MANDARINE. — Medium in size, flat- 

 tened, deep yellow in color, skin very thin 

 and of fine texture. Skin and segments 

 loosely adherent,, flesh rather dark orange 

 in color, spicy, aromatic and rich in flavor, 

 tree vigorous, compact in growth, bears 

 young, and is very prolific. This variety 

 is largely planted in Louisiana. Does well 

 on all classes of soils where citrus fruits 

 are grown. Sold out. 



SATSUMA. — The Satsuma is undoubtedly 

 the hardiest known variety of edible 

 Orange, and this, in connection with its 

 early ripening and fine quality, makes it 

 an exceedingly valuable sort. The trees 

 are drooping and spreading in habit, thorn- 

 less, and bear when very young. The fruit 

 is of medium size, flattened ; rind and flesh 

 segments loosely adhering like all varie- 

 ties of the Mandarin (Citrus nobilis) group:

 der, juicy, sweet and delicious; entirely 

 seedless. Ripens in September. October
