Kumquats. 



The Kumquat is the smallest of the cit- 

 rus fruits in general cultivation in this 

 country. Usually the plants are called 

 bushes, for they do not make trees. The 

 plant grows to a height of 10 to 12 feet, 

 with a spread of branches about equal to 

 it's height. The bright, dark green leaves 

 and deep golden yellow fruits make a very 

 pleasing combination of color. The 

 flowers are small, sweet-scented, and ap- 

 pear in June on the shoots produced 

 earlier in the same season. The fruit 

 ripens during- the fall and winter, begin- 

 ning with the month of November. As 

 an ornamental alone, it is not surpassed 

 by any other evergreen shrub with which 

 we are acquainted. It will withstand the 

 temperatures of 15 degrees Fahrenheit and 

 even lower. Since it's flowers are produced 

 on the spring wood, the trees will produce 

 flowers and fruit even though they may 

 have been cut back during the winter. 

 $1.00 and $1.50 each. Extra large size, 

 $2.50 each. 



SOUR ORANGE SEED.— We import 

 direct from Japan our supply of sour 

 orange seed and offer same at 20c. per 

 ounce, 75c. per y 4 pound; $2.50 per pound. 



Peaches. 



Varieties should be carefully selected, 

 to have them adapted to the section where 

 they are to be planted. This done, good 

 trees planted on new land with good drain- 

 age, and carefully cultivated, will bring 

 quick returns, and are among the most 

 satisfactory fruits that can be grown.
