EEID’S NUB8EBIES, UPLAND, OHIO 
MULBERRIES. 
Teas’ Weeping. A very thrifty, vigorous grower, perfectly 
hardy. Wholly unlike anything heretofore introduced. Forms a 
perfect umbrella-shaped head, with long, slender, willowy 
branches, drooping to the ground. All who have seen it agree 
that in light, airy gracefulness, delicacy of form and motion, it is 
without a rival. It will undoubtedly take the foremost place 
among weeping trees, as it has beautiful foliage, is hardy, endures 
the cold of the north and heat of the south, and is safe and easy 
to transplant. Admirably adapted for ornamenting small or large 
grounds, or for cemetery planting. Price. 50 cts., 75 cts., and 
$1 each. 
New American. This we consider equal to Downing’s in all 
respects, continuing in bearing fully as long, and a hardier tree. 
Fruit jet black. Price, first-class, 40 cts. each, $4 per doz.; 
medium, 30 cts. each, $3 per doz. 
Russian. First-class, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
Downing. Ever- 
hearing; a handsome 
lawn tree, with deli- 
cious berries; fruits at 
four and five years of 
age; continues in bear- 
ing three to four 
months of the year, 
making it very desir- 
able. Price, first-class, 
40c. each, $4 per doz.; 
medium, 30 cts. each, 
$3 per doz. 
PERSIMMON, 
AMERICAN. 
This makes a very 
handsome ornamental 
tree and is tolerably 
hardy here. The fruit, 
although it is pungent 
when green, becomes 
sweet and palatable if 
allowed to remain on 
the tree exposed to 
early frosts. It hangs 
so thickly upon the 
trees as to give them an 
amber-yellow appear- 
ance after the leaves 
fall. 25 cts. each, $2.50 
per doz., by mail or ex- 
press. 
American Mulberry. 
NECTA- 
RINES. 
Brown Turkey Fig. 
Price, 25 cts. each, 
$2.50 per doz., $12 
per 100. 
A most delicious 
smooth - skinned 
fruit, which thrives 
wherever peaches 
will grow., but is 
liable to be stung by 
the curculio, and re- 
quires the same 
treatment as plums. 
Boston. Large, 
deep yellow, with 
a bright blush and 
mottlings of red; 
sweet and of a pecu- 
liar, pleasant flavor; 
freestone; the lar- 
gest and most beau- 
tiful variety known; 
hardy and produc- 
tive. September. 
Pitmaston’s Or- 
ange. Fruit large, 
skin rich orange-yel- 
low, with a brownish 
red cheek ; flesh deep 
yellow, but red at the 
stone, melting, juicy, 
rich, sweet and of 
excellent flavor ; 
free. September.

CUSTARD APPLE, or NORTHERN BANANA. 
Papaw Tree (Asimina triloba). 
This small tree is hardy around New York, but only precariously so 
north of there. The Papaw tree belongs to the custard apple family 
of plants, and is the only arborescent species of the genus belonging 
to this country. As a lawn tree, the Papaw is well worth growing for 
its shapely form and ample, abundant and fine foliage, as well as for 
its fruit. Price, first-class, 30 cts. each, $3 per doz.; medium, 
25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.
