A Few New and Valuable Varieties 
We do not indorse a new variety of fruit or flower until we have convinced 
ourselves that it is of decided value. The following new varieties we heartily 
recommend to our friends. 
Hackworth Apple. A native of Morgan 
county, Alabama, where it has fruited for 
over thirty years. One of the most pro- 
ductive ; comes into bearing very early and 
is a sure cropper. Fruit medium to large, 
very handsome; begins ripening in July and 
continues through August and September ; 
quality high. The tree is very rapid in 
growth and very hardy. 50 cts. 
Magnolia Pear. Not a dessert Pear, but 
at the head of the list for preserving and 
pickling. Bears every year and is very 
productive. Of Japanese origin. It has 
fruited here so abundantly that we regard 
it of great value to southern pear-growers. 
Fruit medium in size, roundish or apple- 
shape ; of a rich dark golden or bronze 
color. Tree very beautiful in appearance, 
foliage being large and distinct. 75 cts. 
America Plum. Seedling of Robinson 
(Chickasaw strain), crossed with Botan 
(Japan strain). Glossy red fruit, very beau- 
tiful, larger than the average Japan Plum; 
flesh is yellow ; ripens two or three weeks 
before Burbank. Very prolific. 50 cts. 
Climax Plum. A cross between Simoni 
and Botan. Very large, usually 6)4 to 7 )4 
inches in circumference. One of Luther 
Burbank’s creations. The fruit is four or 
five times as large as the Burbank, two or 
three weeks earlier, and more highly colored. 
A peculiarity is the fragrance of the fruit 
itself. 50 cts. 
Shiro Plum. One of the strongest grow- 
ers, a two-year tree being usually as large 
as a four-year-old of ordinary sorts. Bears 
the second year and abundantly. Fruit a 
pure yellow in color ; quality good ; as large 
as an egg and similar in shape. Ripening 
season long, covering two to three weeks. 
50 cts. 
A Few Extra Choice Roses 
Maman Cochet. (T.) Deep pink, much 
larger in bud and bloom than La France ; 
vigorous in growth. 50 cts. 
Helen Gould. (T.) A soft intense car- 
mine; very free bloomer. Far ahead of 
American Beauty for outdoor culture. 50c. 
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. (H.T.) Pure 
white, and unequaled by any other variety 
of its color ; free bloomer ; vigorous grower. 
50 cts.

Role. — Multiply the distance in feet between the rows by the distance the plants are set apart in 
the row, and the product will be the number of square feet for each plant or hill ; which divide into the 
number of square feet in an acre (43,500), and you have the number of trees or plants per acre.
