This fine Peach originated on the place of Baron H. von Luttichau, Earleton, Fla., a number 
of years ago. Mr. von Luttichau propagated from it and planted an orchard of his own which proved 
very profitable, the fruit bringing the top price wherever marketed. Originated in the same region 
as Jewel, Waldo and Angel. We have known this variety for years, are well acquainted with its 
merits and regard it as one of the finest commercial Peaches for Florida.

JAPAN PERSIMMONS 
Since its successful introduction into this country in 1875, the Japan Persimmon (Diospyros 
Kaki ) has been slowly but steadily gaining in favor. Since native Persimmon seedlings (Diospyros 
Virginiana) are used as stocks on which to grow the Japan sorts, they can be grown on as wide a 
range of soil as the native Persimmon, and it is not too much to say that they will succeed with the 
minimum of care and attention with which any fruit may be successfully grown. At the same time, 
they respond generously to good care and cultivation. The trees are vigorous, prolific and have few 
enemies. The region in which the Japan Persimmon may be grown covers the cotton-growing belt. 
A carefully selected list of varieties will give fruit in abundance from August to December and later. 
During a very considerable portion of this period other fruit crops are out of season. 
As we are experimenting largely with Persimmons and are the largest producers of these 
trees in America, important announcements may be looked for in our catalogues from year to year. 
For cultural and other notes,see our catalogues of 1911-12-13. (We have extra copies oi these Cata¬ 
logues on hand, and shall be pleased to send 
them to any one interested, upon request.) At 
the meeting of the American Pomological Society 
in Washington, November, 1914, we were awarded 
a Wilder medal for our work with Persimmons. 
Persimmon Pollination 
One of the most puzzling things in the growing 
of Japan Persimmons has been the dropping of 
the blossoms and partly grown fruit. Trees of 
many varieties bloom profusely, but, immediately 
following the blooming period, the young fruits 
begin to drop. This dropping usually keeps up 
until by harvest time no fruit remains on trees 
which should produce large crops. Here and 
there, from causes not understood, certain trees 
hold their crops, perhaps in some seasons and 
not in others. One variety only, the Tane-Nashi 
Persimmon, has held a crop of seedless fruit each 
time it bloomed. Naturally, many different 
explanations have been given for the behavior 
of Persimmon trees, and, to say the least, many 
planters have often been discouraged over their 
behavior, and have lost interest in them entirely.
