Choice Fruit and Ornamental Trees 
THE SATSUMA ORANGE 
Since the disastrous freezes of 1895 and 1899, the frost line in Florida and Louisiana 
has been pushed into the Gulf, and 
southernmost counties of these 
states; hence the demand for 
A Frost-proof Orange. The Sat- 
suma or Oonshiu, is the nearest 
approach to this, and its many 
excellent points recommend it as 
the standard Orange for the north- 
ern limit of Orange culture Its 
recommendations are as follows : 
Hardiness. When dormant, the 
Satsuma will not be hurt by a zero 
temperature, and this hardiness is 
increased by using the hardy Citrus 
trifoliata as a stock on which to 
bud it 
It Bears Young. It will begin 
to bear at three years of age, and in 
case it is killed it will put up from 
the root, and in two or three years 
is bearing again. 
Easily Protected. It being of a 
dwarfish habit of growth, it can easily be covered up with any of the numerous devices 
for protecting the Orange. 
Fancy Prices. It is a seedless, kid-glove Orange, of fine flavor, and, ripening in 
October, before the main crop, always brings fancy prices. 
Productiveness. While a Satsuma tree will hardly ever bear more than five or six 
boxes of Oranges, yet, as four times as many trees can be planted on an acre as of the 
larger trees, the yield per acre is enormous. 
Ornamental. Being a thornless tree of graceful shape, with glossy, dark green leaves, 
it is a desirable ornamental for the lawn or garden. 
Proper Stocks. Insist on buying Satsuma Orange trees only on Trifoliata stocks ; 
experience has proved them to be by far the best.

FIGS 
This is one of the most desirable of southern fruits, and may be had for table use 
from June to November. It is well adapted to nearly the whole South, and no home or 
fruit orchard should be without it. The land for figs should be well drained and very 
rich ; one of the most desirable places to plant, where only a few trees are required for 
family use, is near a wash-house or some convenient place where soapy water, ashes, 
etc., can be placed around the trees. 
SUGAR, or CELESTIAL. Known to all lovers of Figs as the best. The fruits are 
small, but very sweet — so sweet that you can eat them without peeling, and when the 
weather is favorable they often preserve themselves on the tree. 
LEMON. Medi um to large, yellow, sweet ; profuse and early bearer ; a very desir- 
able variety. Hon. Harrison Reed, of Jacksonville. Fla., had one tree of this variety 
which, he said, has given him 10 to 12 bushels of fruit annually for the past to years 
OTHER FIGS. We have tested a dozen or more varieties of Figs, but have dis- 
carded all but the two named above Professor Massey, of the North Carolina Experi- 
ment Station, after testing all promising varieties, savs that the Celestial is the hardiest.
