LIST OF FRUIT AND ORNAMENTAL TREES

JAPAN PERSIMMONS. 
Our stock of Japan Persimmons is grown upon native Persimmon roots, which are the only proper 
stocks for America. 
Tane-Nashi. Very large, roundish conical, pointed, very smooth and symmetrical; skin light 
yellow, changing to bright red ; flesh yellow, 
generally seedless ; astringent until fully ripe, 
then one of the best. 
Costata. Medium, oblong conical, pointed, 
somewhat four sided ; diameter 2% inches lon- 
gitudinally and 2j4 inches transversely ; color 
of skin salmon yellow ; flesh yellow, nearly 
P seedless, astringent until ripe, and then very 
fine. One of the latest to ripen, and a good 
keeper. Tree the most ornamental of all, it 
being a very upright, rapid grower, with large, 
luxuriant foliage. 
Yemon. Large, flat, tomato-shaped, some- 
what four- sided; skin orange - yellow ; flesh 
yellow, generally seedless; quality very fine. 
Tree an open grower, with distinct foliage. 
Zengi. Small, roundish oblate ; skin red- 
dish yellow ; flesh very dark ; quality very 
good, it being edible while still hard, and one 
of the earliest varieties to ripen. Tree a vigor- 
ous grower and a good bearer.

100 ; 3 to 4 ft., 20 cts. each, $1.75 per doz., $10 per

POMEGRANATES. 
^ Purple Seeded. This variety, which I in- 
troduced, is by far the best I have ever seen 
The fruit is large, rind thin, and the color of 
the seed a dark ruby or wine color. The flavor 
is very fine, being a sprightly, vinous, subacid. 
I have received very flattering testimonials from 
every one who has seen this Pomegranate. 
It is remarkable that the Pomegranate is 
not more generally planted, as it ripens in Sep- 
tember when all other fruits are gone ; it also 
makes a delightful summer drink . The bark of 
the tree contains valuable medicinal properties, and in France it is used in tanning the finest grades of 
kid. 
Large Sweet, About the same as above, exeept in color of seed and flavor. 
PRICES, I-year, from cutting, 20 cts. each, $2 per doz., $12.50 per ioo. 
MULBERRIES. 
There is, perhaps, no fruit in the South more neglected 
than the Everbearing Mulberry. Every farmer should have 
a grove of Hicks' and Downing’s Everbearing. They pro- 
duce fruit 4 months in the spring and summer, and are just 
the thing for hogs and poultry. The acid varieties are es- 
teemed by many for table use. Some fruit-growers plant 
Mulberries to attract birds from other more valuable fruits. 
Downing’s Everbearing. A good large berry ; more 
acid than the Hicks ; blooms very early in the spring, and 
sometives get killed by the cold ; tree very strong, uptight 
grower ; foliage dark green ; tree very ornamental. 
Hicks’ Everbearing. This gives fruit 4 months in the 
year ; it grows very rapidly, and should be grown largely 
by every farmer who pretends to raise hogs. The economic 
value of the fruit is not understood by the farmers of the 
South. 
PRICES, I-year, 4 to 6 feet, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100 ; 
I-year, 6 to 8 feet, 20 cts. each, $1.75 per doz., $12 per 100. 
Plant Mulberries for your fowls and swine.
