NEW AMERICAN MULBERRY. 
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 southward to middle Florida and eastern Texas, but rare near the Atlantic coast. It attains its 
greatest development in the Mississippi Valley, and especially along the tributaries of the lower Ohio River. 
Although it is hardy around New York, it is only precariously 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 lor rates, state tbe grade you wish ; 
five-eight lis to three-fourths of an inch and up 
are called first-class stock, but there is much 
difference in the rate, and many nurserymen 
do not sell three-fourths and up, but call their | 
first-class stock five-eight hs to three-fourths. 
Persons buying nursery stock have to wait 
so long on many things that they cannot cor- 
rect errors in a year. See, then, that you place 
your orders in trustworthy hands. There are 
many nuryserymen who are in business for a 
few years to “do” the people.
