CLIBRANS’ UST OF FRUITS, 1909-10. 
Hybrid and other Fruits — continued. 
THE GRAN ADILLA. 
(Passijtora Edulis — Roberts Variety.) 
The fruit of the edible Fashion Flower, better known perhaps as “ The 
Granadilla ” is highly esteemed for Dessert purposes. When ripe the skin 
is of a dark purple colour and the pulp orange, the flavour is somewhat 
like that of an orange. The plant requires to be grown under glass and 
succeeds well in an ordinary Vinery, providing the Winter temperature 
does not fall below 45 0 . 
The plants we offer are the best fruiting variety, 1/6, 2/6, 3/6, 5/- & 7/6 each. 
THE STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY. 
( /Cubits Paltnalus, syn. A‘. Sorb if olios.) 
An interesting ornamental fruit but of little culinary value. The 
individual fruits are somewhat like a raspbery in appearance, but larger 
and longer. They are of a bright shining crimson colour, and look as if 
they were made of tiny brilliantly coloured beads, but have practically no 
flavour. The plants themselves form compact little bushes about 1 Jft. 
high, with compound leaves, and bear abundantly in August and 
September. 
In pots 9d. each, 6/- dot. 
MEDLARS. 
For the successful cultivation of Medlars, an open situation sheltered 
from cutting winds, is absolutely essential. A good moist well drained 
loam suits them best, but with an occasional mulching they grow well on 
sandy soils. 
Pyramids or Standard Trees, 1/6, 2/6 to 3/6 each. 
MULBERRIES. 
Morus nigra (Black Mulberry ). An old fashioned fruit, not nearly so 
much cultivated as it should be. For smoky atmospheres, and in 
the midst of towns it will often grow and fruit when nothing else 
will, though in cold localities it requires a warm aspect or a wall. 
Standards 7/6 & 10/- each ; Feathered Trees 3/6 & 5/- each. 
— alba ( White Mulberry ). produces fruit of a whitish pink colour, 
1 /- and 1/6 each. 
— — pondula ( While Weeping Mulberry ), 2/6 and 3/6 each.
