JAI»AISi;»K VAKlKTli:S, 
Tlie Japanese varieties have given great satisfaction 
in producing large crops of beautiful fruit. The cur- 
culio has little or no eflect upon them, and the trees 
grow vigorously, and bear young and abundantly. 
We recommend that they be well cultivated, the fruit 
thinned, and the limbs supported when loaded with 
fruit.
