JAPANESE PERSIMMONS 
For a number of years the Japanese Persim¬ 
mon has been gaining in popularity. It has 
been grown in the cotton belt sufficiently long 
to show that it is well adapted practically all 
over the belt, at least where the native persim¬ 
mon thrives. In recent years it has become 
better known in the Northern and Eastern mar¬ 
kets and has commanded very attractive prices 
wherever it was offered. Leading orchardists in 
the South are recognizing its possibilities and 
the chances are that within a few years Japanese 
Persimmons will be known and marketed in all 
the leading cities of this country. 
Some varieties of Japanese Persimmons, under 
certain conditions, are self-pollenizing, but it 
has been found advisable to plant among the 
other varieties, the staminate variety called Gai- 
ley. One tree of this variety to ten trees of the 
other varieties will insure good pollenization 
and fruit will grow on to maturity. 
We have the prettiest block of one-year 
persimmon buds we have ever seen offered 
anywhere. Straight, vigorous trees, many 
of which will grade 6 to 8 feet in height. 
Such trees should grow off promptly when 
transplanted to your orchard. 
FUYUGAKI. A recent introduction from Japan. 
Tree vigorous, upright grower; fruit medium 
to large, nearly round, but somewhat flattened; 
skin smooth, tough; color reddish yellow*. 
Flesh meaty and of exceptionally good flavor. 
Bears young. Non-astringent; can be eaten 
while still hard; may be peeled and eaten 
like an apple. 
TAMOPAN. A Chinese variety of special merit. 
Fruit is large, somewhat flattened and with a 
compressed ring around it as though a string 
had been tied around the fruit while growing. 
Color beautiful golden red; skin quite thick 
and tough. 
TANE NASHI. The best-known and probably 
the most popular variety. Large to very large, 
roundish, conical, pointed; skin light yellow, 
changing to deep red. Quality very fine. The 
leading market variety. 
GAILEY. Recommended for its staminate flow¬ 
ers for pollenizing and not for its fruit. Fruit 
small, color dull red; flesh dark about the 
seeds, meaty, juicy. Should be in every plant¬ 
ing.

TESTIMONIALS 
“The pecan trees I bought from 
you last fall are all living and have 
made the best growth of any trees 
I ever bought. It was the first budded 
trees of pecans that I ever bought— 
no more grafted trees for me.” Al¬ 
bert Poller, Beebe, Ark. 
“We want your trees. They are 
the best we ever had.”—A North Car¬ 
olina Nurseryman. 
Our plants are far 
superior to those 
handled by depart¬ 
ment stores and ten- 
cent stores. They 
are carefully grown 
for a clientele that 
requires the best in 
nursery stock. No 
plant is dug until an 
order is received for 
it. They are not sub¬ 
jected to the drying 
out that is bound to 
occur in heated de¬ 
partment stores. 
Well grown—fresh¬ 
ly dug — carefully 
packed, Wight’s 
trees are always the 
best.
