The Loquat is a strikingly handsome, large- 
leaved evergreen tree adapted to the Gulf- 
coast country and more tropical locations. 
The leaves are large, dark green and rough; 
the young shoots woolly. A compact grower, 
and forms a well-rounded head. Very desir¬ 
able as an ornamental. 
Xor is it desirable as an ornamental only, 
for its fruit, which is about the size of a Wild 
Goose plum, oblong, bright yellow, subacid, 
has an agreeable flavor and is highly prized 
for cooking; makes a most excellent jelly. 
The white blossoms, borne in spikes, come 
during the winter months; consequently, 
while trees are quite hardy all along the Gulf 
coast, fruit can be counted on only in sec¬ 
tions comparatively exempt from severe cold.

GRAPES 
The Muscadine type of Grapes is at home in the southern states, and all of the varieties 
we list are heavy and regular bearers. While they are not so desirable for marketing in fresh 
state, as the bunches are not large, they are fine-flavored and can be used to advantage in 
numerous ways—for table use at a time of year when it is advisable from a health standpoint 
to eat quantities of fruit; they can be made into an excellent jelly; and wines made from 
Muscadine Grapes are of delightful flavor. 
Several varieties of bunch Grapes are also adapted to the South, and have been grown in 
a limited way for commercial purposes, as well as for home use. Varieties we particularly 
recommend are Diamond, Delaware, Ives and Niagara; we also list a few other good kinds.
