Honey, originated in our nursery and named after its parent, the Honey 
peach. It is the only prolific nectarine we have so far grown here, and fruit 
is of very good quality ; it is larger than the Honey peach, just as sweet, and 
ripens beginning of July; color of fruit is yellow ivith blush cheeks, flesh very 
tender and white. We have a few June budded trees of this variety at 50 
cents each.

large and of a rich yellow color.

We might almost say there is no tree which so abundantl}' repays its 
owner for the little trouble it requires than the fig. From July to October 
ripe fruit may be had almost daily from the same tree, provided there is 
enough moisture to constantly keep the tree gronang during this time. 
The best place for a fig tree is near a well or a spring or any other place 
where there is always a plentiful supply of water. During extreme cold 
weather figs sometimes freeze to the ground, but they sprout from the roots 
again in the spring. This, however, happens only every 10 or 15 years, if 
only the hardiest varieties are planted.
