JAPANESE WALNUTS. 



Juglans Japonica Cordiformis, 



Another variety of Japanese Fruit, the trees of which will bear here as well as the 

 above mentioned Chestnut. There are several trees in Louisiana which were planted six 

 years ago and are doing excellently well. One of them bote last year a number of fine 

 nuts. The fruit is nearly the size of the English Walnut, heart-shaped, aud, although 

 hard shelled, is very easy to open. 



The shell is composed of two halves and can be opened by inserting the point of a 

 knife in the seam, and the kernel may be taken out whole. This nut is very sweet, of a 



The seed which we offer is of our own importation. Price, 75c. per lb. Also trees 

 at 75 c*nts each. 



MICHEVS EARLY STRAWBERRY. 



We have various sorts of soil in Louisiana, aud the Strawberry suitable to and suc- 

 ceeding equally well in poor or rich land, can only be determined by practical experi- 

 ment. There are but few varieties which adapt themselves to all soils and latitudes, 

 hence the importance of planting those which experienced fruit growers have tested a::d 

 found profitable. A Strawberry having all the good qualities has not. aud perhaps never 

 will be discovered; still in choosing, it is well to purchase plants having as many good 

 points as possible. This we claim for the Michel's Early. 



It is claimed to be the earliest in cultivation. It makes perfect flowers and fruit. 

 Very prolific. Price, 60c. per 100; $5.00 per 1000. 



We consider this variety superior to the Sucker State, being earlier and more pro- 

 lific. It will become the leading market sort, home and for shipping North. Have 

 dropped the Sticker State from our list as the Michel's Early is superior and earlier.
