CUSTARD APPLE, or NORTHERN 
BANANA. 
PAW-PAW TREE ( Asimina Triloba ). 
This is a small tree, indigenous to the middle and southern 
states from western New York to southern Michigan, and south- 
ward to middle Florida and eastern Texas, but rare near the 
Atlantic coast. It attains its greatest development in the Missis- 
sippi Valley, and especially along the tributaries of the lower Ohio 
River. Although it is hardy around New York, it is only precari- 
ously hardy north of there. The Paw-paw tree belongs to the 
custard apple family of plants, and is the only arborescent 
species of the genus belonging to this country; two or three other species, only low shrubs, also occur in the 
southern states, but are not hardy in the north. 
As a lawn tree the Paw-paw is well worth growing for its shapely form and ample, abundant and fine foliage, 
as well as for its fruit. First-class, 35 cts. each, $3 per doz. ; second-class, 30 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.

In asking for rates, please 
state the grade you wish ; five- 
eighths to three-fourths of an 
inch and up are called first- 
class stock, hut there is much difference in 
the rate, and many nurserymen do not sell 
three-fourths and up, but call their first- 
class stock five-eighths to three-fonrths. 
This we call medium grade, and not first- 
class.
