The Satsuma Orange. 
The disastrous freezes of '94 and '95 have demonstrated the value of the Satsuma Orange, for while 
they could not come through such an ordeal without 
great damage, yet the total loss of groves that have 
cost the labor of long years, has emphasized the 
value of an Orange which has the following advan- 
tages : The hardiest known variety ; the earliest to 
come into bearing — 3 years ; ripens in October, and 
commands fancy prices ; a kid glove Orange ; thorn- 
less, and seedless. We have strong faith in the 
value of the Satsuma, and believe it is destined to 
widen the area of successful Orange growing. Its 
dwarf habit of growth especially fits it for green- 
house cultivation. We have a fine stock of Satsumas 
budded on the hardy Citrus Trifoliata.

fusely small fruit of a bright orange-red color, which, however, is not suitable for eating. It is a dwarf 
tree, with symmetrical growth, suitable for pot culture or for the lawn. This tree, covered with an abundance 
of fragrant blossoms in early spring and summer, afterwards with small, bright fruit, is a pleasing sight ; a 
great addition to the lawn. It is the very best stock for the Satsuma Orange. 
Mulberries. 
GRAFTED PECANS. 
No progressive farmer can afford to do without a Mulberry orchard. It will furnish berries enough to 
keep his pigs and poultry fat during four months of the 
year. Some farmers claim that an abundance of Mulber- 
ries will prevent the hog cholera. 
Hicks’ Everbearing. This gives fruit four months in 
the year ; it grows very rapidly, and should be grown 
largely by every farmer who pretends to raise hogs. The 
economic value and merit of the fruit is not fully under- 
stood by the farmers of the South. 
The Perkins. Thisisavery 
fine Mulberry, resembling the 
Hicks’ Everbearing. Our 
grafts are from a tree that has 
borne very heavy crops of extra 
fine berries for years. Its sea- 
son of bearing is very long. We 
have named it Perkins, the name 
of the owner of the tree.

Mulberry. Having long since been convinced that Seedling Pecans 
were altogether unreliable, trees from the finest nuts often 
bearing hard, little nuts that were entirely worthless, we have 
this season grafted some thrifty seedlings with scions from a tree 
that bears annual crops of very fine paper shell Pecans. We 
grafted them for our own use, but having had numerous applica- 
tions for them, we offer a limited number for sale this season. 
SEEDLING PECANS. 
Of course we can furnish these to those that want something 
cheap, and are not particular about the quality.
