SURINAM CHERRY 
The Surinam Cherry, Eugenia Michelii , is a low-growing shrub sometimes reaching a height 
of 15 or 20 feet, with bright green, glossy leaves. The fruit is cherry-like, ribbed, an inch or so in 
diameter with a delightful spicy, subacid taste. Excellent for making jellies and preserves. It 
makes an excellent pot plant, and is quite hardy. Price, 2-yr., bushy plants, 40c. each, $3.50 for 10. 
loquat 
Eriobotrya Japonica, Japanese Medlar, Biwa of the Japanese 
Prices on Loquats from seed, 1 to 2 feet, 30 cts. each, $ 2.50 for 10 
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, it is very desirable as an 
ornamental. 
Nor 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 sections com¬ 
paratively exempt from severe cold. 
GRAPES 
Grapes of the Muscadine group are native 
in the southern states and of all the grapes 
which may be grown, they are the best adapted 
to southern conditions. Generally the clusters 
are quite small as compared with the bunch 
grapes, but the fruit has a fine flavor and is 
valuable as a table grape, for making unfer¬ 
mented grape juice, for jellies and for wine. 
In Virginia and North Carolina the culture of 
Muscadine grapes for wine-making is rapidly 
becoming an important industry. 
Many persons who have planted the Scup- 
pernong grape have found that their vines, when 
they reach sufficient size, bloom but set no fruit. 
We guarantee all our Scuppernong vines to bear 
fruit as soon as they are well established and 
have reached sufficient size. If they do not, we 
will either replace them or refund the money 
paid for them.
