 JAPANESE PERSIMMONS. 

 (Hyakume, Zenpi, Triumph). — This 

 new valuable fruit has been fruited for the 

 last few years. Most varieties are of ex- 

 cellent quality ; twice and three times as 

 large as the native kind; very attractive 

 when the fruit is ripe. The fruit often 

 weighs a pound, is very sweet and of a 

 most delicious flavor. As they are of easy 

 culture and do well here it is a profitable 

 fruit to grow. Assorted named varieties. 



Price, 30c. each, $3.00 per dozen, large 

 size. Extra large size, $1.00 each. 

 CELESTE, OR CELESTIAL FIG. 



We have a good supply of one year old 

 trees. They have been raised from cuttings 

 in sandy loam, are well rooted and raised 

 to a single stem ; not in sprouts as is often 

 the case when raised from suckers taken 

 off from old trees. The cultivation of this 

 fruit has rather been neglected, which 

 s-hould 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 readily 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 other dark 

 skinned kinds. One year old, 25c. each, 

 $2.50 per dozen ; packed and delivered on 

 steamboat or railroad depot $10 per 100. 

 $90 per 1000. We have a few hundred of 

 extra size trees, which have been trans- 

 planted. Price, extra size, one year old 

 trees, 30 cents each, $3.00 per dozen; three 

 year old, 40 cents each, $4.00 per dozen ; 

 extra large, $1.50 each. 



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 



Try the Tariytown Fern.
