New Fig, Leon 
This valuable new Fig originated as a seedling from the seed 
of a Smyrna Fig planted by Mr. J. W. Coles, of Tallahassee, 
Fla. The parent tree is large, thrifty and bears annually 
heavy crops of most excellent fruit. It is recommended for 
planting throughout the Gulf coast Fig region, and, as it has 
been grown successfully for a considerable time in western 
Florida, we are confident it will prove desirable. 
Fruit large, x 2 inches, turbinate, largest diameter near 
the apex; stem short, stout ; color yellowish green with light 
oval dots, brown on parts exposed to sun; scales pink; 
flesh yellowish white, light amber among the flowers; melting 
flavor, sweet; quality very good. Leaves large, five-lobed, 
enlarged upward.

MULBERRIES 
While Mulberries are of little value for commercial pur¬ 
poses or table use, there are nevertheless several purposes for 
which they are admirably suited and of decided value. They 
form an economic food for poultry and swine, and for tolling 
birds away from other fruits there is nothing else so effective.
