Remarks. —'Nos. i and 2, home use; 12, unsatisfactory bearer; 13, enormously produc¬ 
tive;,14 and 15, superior quality acid; 16, most desirable. 
Apples and Apricots —Are not recommended for general culture, although the varie¬ 
ties 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 generally 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 arc esteemed for table 
use. 
The Pomegranate— An agreeable fruit, desirable for occasional use, and especially 
valuable as an ornamental shrub or tree, is not generally grown for market, but most plan¬ 
tations have a few trees. There are several new choice varieties being tried.
