GUAVAS 
The Guava is a sub-tropical fruit, and quite hardy. Its range of culture is almost the same 
as the hardy varieties of oranges. The Cattley Guava ( Psidium cattleyanum) is the hardest species. 
We offer two varieties of this hardy sort. The bushes arc very handsome, with rather thick, bright 
green, shiny leaves. The fruit measures % to i inch in diameter or larger. It has a pleasant sub- 
acid flavor and is very highly esteemed for making jellies and preserves. It is one of the most orna¬ 
mental of our fruit trees and the plants make handsome lawn specimens.

Red Cattley. A handsome evergreen shrub, 
with glossy green leaves, producing large quan¬ 
tities of small, red fruits, 1 to 1J4 inches in diam¬ 
eter. It can be grown in northern Florida, the 
Gulf coast country and more tropical regions. 
Yellow. Identical with the Red Cattley, ex¬ 
cept that the fruit is yellow instead of being red- 
fleshed. Both of these varieties are very desir¬ 
able. 
POMEGRANATES 
The Pomegranates are very hardy shrubs which can be grown throughout the Gulf states and 
the Coastal sections of Georgia and the Carolinas. The brilliant scarlet flowers are produced in 
profusion, and the Pomegranates arc generally very prolific, and thrive with little care. The fruit 
is used in making jellies, marmalades and acid drinks. For this latter purpose they are highly es¬ 
teemed. The fruit has a fresh crispness, delicacy and sprightliness of flavor found in few fruits. 
The Pomegranate is one of the coming commercial fruits, and the interest in its culture is gradually 
increasing.

Rhoda. This variety 
was brought to our atten¬ 
tion by one of our em¬ 
ployees, on whose place it 
has been growing for some 
years. We have named it 
in honor of his wife. The 
fruit is of large size; rind 
thin but tough; juice-cells 
large and of beautiful 
wine-color; crisp, sweet 
and of exquisite flavor. 
One of the best varieties.
