Remarks. —Nos. 1 and 2, home use; 12, unsatisfactory bearer; 13, enormously productive; 14 
and 15, superior quality acid; 16, most desirable. 
Apples and Apricots —Are not recommended for general culture, although the varieties named 
give fair results in the home orchard in the regions indicated. 
The Fig —A most delicious fruit for the table and culinary use, thrives everywhere. It is not 
grown for shipment, except when canned or preserved, in which form it finds a ready market at high 
prices, but is one of the most valuable and gotierally grown home-use-and-local-market fruits. All 
the varieties named are desirable. 
Mulberries —Are well adapted to all sections. They are largely grown for swine, poultry, and 
as a toll for birds; and, by some, the more acid kinds-are esteemed for table use. 
The Pomegranate —An agreeable fruit, desirable for occasional use, and especially valuable ai 
^ ornamental shrub or tree, is not generally grown for market, but most plantations have a few trees. 
There are several new choice varieties being tried.
