Zengi, Although one of the smallest of the Japanese persimmons, it is the

reddish yellow. It is of the dark-meated class, being edible while quite hard. 
Can usually commence finding ripe fruit on the trees the latter part of August, 
and it continues to ripen until December, the trees hanging full of luscious 
fruit as late as Christmas. When allowed to remain on the tree until soft, it 
is excellent, being the sweetest and finest-flavored variety we have. Tree 
vigorous and reliable bearer, usually producing fruit the second year from 
planting. One of the most hardy varieties. 
IPomegranates. 
The pomegranate seems to have been created especially for our dry 
cUmate. It succeeds in any soil and bears regularly an abundance of the 
most refreshing fruit. 
Littie trouble is required for its culture. It is always free from all 
diseases, and grows in any deserted corner of the garden where no other 
fruit succeeds. The fruit is very sweet and refreshing, and ripens during 
August and September.

Old Favorite, is the best of all the fruiting pomegranates. I call it Old 
Favorite because it has been grown here at New Braunfels for at least 50 
years, and it has proven to be far superior to all the other fruiting kinds 
which were introduced later. The fruit is the very largest, and refreshing 
and sweet. The tree or shrub is extremely hardy, and has glossy green 
leaves. Flowers are large and crimson in color. 25 cents each.
