FOR THE FRUIT GARDEN 
Here are new and alluring fruit flavors. 
BUSH ALPINE STRAWBERRY — ex8. Ever- 
bearing, fruiting first year. Much cultivated 
abroad for its delicate “wild” flavor and aroma. 
It maaes no runners, and so may be used for 
narrow edgings. Grown altogether from seed. 
Excellent. Pkt. 20c; spec. pkg. 50c. 
FICUS CARICA—ezx(w). True Fig. A most 
delicious fruit that will thrive out of doors in a 
sheltered position to New York. Flourishes won¬ 
derfully in the back-yards of many an Italian 
family at Philadelphia. In exposed positions 
further north it may be readily grown in tubs, 
where it will fruit freely, the tubs being moved 
to the cellar in winter. Pkt. 20c; spec. pkg. 35c. 
HOVENIA DULCIS—zy. An attractive small 
tree, with oddly formed but rich and sugary 
fruits of raisin flavor. Hardy to New England.

ASIMINA TRILOBA — zy. Custard Apple or 
Pawpaw. A small tree with splendid foliage and 
odd purple flowers. The fruit resembles a rough 
brown banana, but the flavor is aromatic and dis¬ 
tinctive. Hardy into Massachusetts. Pkt. 20c; 
spec. pkg. 50c. 
DIOSPYRUS VIRGINIANA—zy. The American 
Persimmon is not half appreciated. When well 
ripened it is a delicious fruit custard, rich and
