DEPENDABLE PEARS 
Pears are most successfully grown in well-fertilized, 
heavy clay or clayey loam. If grown in sandy soil, coarse 
manure or litter should be worked into the soil. Mulching 
is of great benefit, and the orchard should be kept culti¬ 
vated at all times. 
This list has been reduced to varieties that have proven 
valuable throughout the largest section of the South. 
Plant Standard trees 20 to 25 feet apart.

JAPAN PERSIMMONS 
For the Fall Market 
The Japan Persimmon is thoroughly at home in the Cot¬ 
ton Belt, and does especially well in the Coast Region. 
Some varieties succeed in middle Kentucky, Virginia, and 
in southern New Jersey. If the fruit is harvested before it 
is touched by frost, and house-ripened, the quality becomes 
greatly improved. Some varieties have dark flesh, which is 
edible while the fruit is still hard, but the light-fleslied va¬ 
rieties must be thoroughly matured before they can be 
eaten, as they are very astringent until fully ripened. The 
fruit of nearly every variety begins to color when half 
grown, but should be allowed to hang upon the trees unti, 1 
just before frost is expected, or in the case of early-ripen¬ 
ing varieties, when fully matured. Many of the late-ripen¬ 
ing varieties can be kept until February. Distance for 
planting, 15 to 25 feet apart each way. Each 10 
4 to 5 ft.$.75 $6.50 
3 to 4 ft...50 4.50 
Gailey. Mainly sold for pollination of other Persimmons 
and for the flowers. Fruit small, pointed end; dull red 
color; flesh firm and juicy. One should be planted for

red fleshed varieties. Fruit large, averaging 3 inches in 
diameter and 5 ounces in weight, usually flattened, but 
elongated forms are quite common upon the same branch. 
Flesh bright orange-red; keeps very late; must be soft 
before being edible. Tree of moderate height. 
Tamopan (Big Grindstone). Fruit bright orange-red; skin 
thick and tough; flesh light-colored, seedless, of excellent 
quality; some without astringency and can be eaten while 
hard. The tree is a thrifty grower.

4 ounces; flesh sweet, dark brown, with dark spots.

ASPARAGUS

have it fresh from their own garden. It is adaptable to

not plant in stiff clay or hard land. 
Mary Washington. $1.50 per 100; $7.50 per 1000.
