PERSIMMONS 
After many years of propagating and improving of varieties, 
we are now able to offer our customers two varieties of Per¬ 
simmons that can be grown successfully in all sections of the 
United States. The trees are thrifty, vigorous growers, can 
be grown on the poorest of soil, and bear fruit in two years 
from planting. The tree reaches a height of 25 to 30 feet, makes 
a very beautiful and valuable ornamental tree for lawn, garden 
or street planting. Long after the leaves have fallen, the 
branches are heavily laden with plum-shaped, golden pink tint¬ 
ed fruit that is very attractive and ornamental. The fruit is 
rith, highly flavored, very sweet, and delicious. 
EGYPTIAN—Is very large, broadly oblong, pointed. Skin 
light yellow, changing to a deep golden yellow when fully 
matured. Flesh yellow; quality very fine, delicious, firm, 
juicy, and sweet. Nothing tastes more delicious in the fall of 
the year than a well ripened persimmon; trees bear at two 
years. Very hardy and productive. The well shaped spread¬ 
ing tree with beautiful dark green heart shaped leaves makes 
a very attractive appearance. 
TANE NASHI —This variety never fails to bear big crops. 
The tree, with its large, glossy leaves during the summer 
months and its immensely high colored fruit, clinging to the 
twigs after the leaves have fallen, is a striking object of 
beauty in the lawn or garden. Fruit exceedingly 
large, broadly oblong, pointed. Skin golden yel¬ 
low changing to bright red when fully ripe. Fruits 
will hang on the tree for several months after 
ripe and retain their high flavor and fine qual¬ 
ity; never rot on the tree. Tree vigorous grow¬ 
er and prolific bearer. Hardy as far north as 
Wisconsin. Price on Braclley's Persimmons Se¬ 
lect Specimen trees, 98c each; 3 for $2.35.

HARDY FRUITING MULBERRY 
TREES 
Valuable for shade and ornament as well as for 
fruit. Birds are very fond of the fruit, and for this 
reason Mulberry trees are often planted near 
Cherry orchards, for birds will leave Cherries 
alone if they can obtain Mulberries. They also at¬ 
tract many song birds; a lover of birds should 
plant a Mulberry tree. 
NEW AMERICAN—The most beautiful tree for 
ornamental planting. All summer and fall it 
bears clusters of large, jet black, delicious ber¬ 
ries, which are wonderful for eating fresh out 
of hand, and make the most excellent jams and 
jellies. Tree a very rapid grower, entirely hardy 
and easily transplanted. Very attractive in any 
location; it makes a large, wide spreading grace¬ 
ful shade tree. Fruits continuously from May 
to August. For shade, beauty, attractiveness, 
and excellent fruit, plant the Mulberry tree. Price, 
large 4 to 6 ft. trees, 94c each.

able for the large refreshing berries it bears but is 
very handsome as a lawn or street tree. Should be in 
every yard and garden. Tree very hardy, thrifty, vig¬ 
orous grower. Bears large crops of delicious berries 
the second year from planting. Flourishes in all soils
