Walnuts 
Juglans Cordiformis — Nuts medium size, thin 
shell; if cracked longitudinally kernel can be 
removed entire. Meat is of good quality; tree 
is a vigorous grower and forms a fine head. 
Perfectly hardy. We consider it the best of 
all walnuts. Two years, 2 to 3 feet, 75 cents 
each. 
Juglans Sieboldiana — A native of the moun- 
tains of Japan. Extremely hardy and vigorous 
grower. Three-year-old trees have produced 
nuts. Wonderfully productive. Meat sweet 
and of best quality. 75 cents each; trees 2 to 3 
feet. 
Apricots 
One-year trees, 4 to 6 feet, 60c each, $6.00 per 
dozen. 
The apricot is one of those fruits that do 
fairly well on limestone soil; a rich, heavy soil, 
however is preferred. As the apricot blooms 
early it should not be planted extensively in 
localities visited by late frosts. The fruit is 
much beloved for its rich and aromatic flavor, 
and the apricot should be represented by a few 
trees, at least, in every garden. The culture is 
about the same as that of the peach. 
Royal — Fruit large, oval; color of skin dull 
yellow, tinted with red on the sunny side; flesh 
pale orange color, firm, juicy, rich and vinous; 
freestone. Ripens end of June. 
Moorpark — Large, excellent; an old favorite 
and one of the best bearers. This is the best 
of all apricots. 
Nectarine 
Honey Nectarine — The best, sure bearing 
nectarine. Originated on our trial grounds. 
A seedling of Honey peach. Size and shape 
of the Honey peach, very prolific. We offered 
this nectarine a few years ago. but owing to 
great demand we could not offer them last 
year, and have this year again a good stock of 
this variety. Price 60 cents each, $6.00 per 
dozen; 4 to 6 feet high. 
Figs 
50 cents each, $5.00 per dozen; $30.00 per 100. 
Strong trees. 
We might also say there is no tree which 
so abundantly repays its owner for the little 
trouble it requires as the fig. From June to 
October ripe fruit may be had almost daily 
from the same tree, providing there is enough 
moisture to constantly keep the tree growing 
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 some- 
times freeze to the ground, but they sprout 
from the roots again in the spring. This, how- 
ever, only happens every ten or fifteen years, 
if only the hardiest varieties are planted. 
Ferguson — The largest and most productive 
of all figs. Color of fruit is dark red. Very 
sweet. We never had enough trees of this fine 
variety. For the first time we have been able 
to offer a few hundred trees this year, and or- 
ders should be placed early. 
Green Ischia — Green; medium size; of excel- 
lent quality. 
Magnolia — Large ; rich fruit, yellowish brown. 
Hardy here. Small one-year trees bear fruit 
first summer. 
Brown Turkey — Medium, brown, very sweet 
and excellent; very prolific and hardy. The 
most reliable fig for open field culture. 
Celestial — Small pale violet with bloom very- 
sweet; prolific, hardy.
