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 re¬ 
gion, and, as it has been grown successfully for a 
considerable time in western Florida, we are 
confident it will prove desirable. 
*"Fruit large, 2% 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 com¬ 
mercial purposes or table use, there are never¬ 
theless 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.
