Evergreen Fruits 
LOQUAT (Eriobotrya Japonica ) 
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 cook¬ 
ing; 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.

PAPAYA (Carica Papaya) 
I his is one of the most remarkable tropical fruits. The fruit somewhat resembles a cantaloupe. 
As the plants are dioecious, about one-half of them will bear fruit and the remainder supply pollen 
to fertilize the blossoms. Under favorable conditions the pistillate plants will fruit in a few months 
after planting. I hey require plenty of plant-food, good drainage and sufficient moisture for best 
results. It may be described as a continuous fruit-bearing plant, as it will continue in fruit without 
a break for months or even years. It makes a very desirable ornamental. Seedlings from large, choice 
fruits.
