HARDY CHINESE DATE 
The Chinese Date (Jujube or Zizyphus) is a fruit from the high 
interior of China, which, we arc sure, will prove to be one of the 
most valuable for our country. It is adapted to a wide range of 
territory and all kinds of soil. It is quite hardy, the United 
States Department of Agriculture bulletins reporting that it has 
withstood temperatures of 22 degrees below zero without injury. 
The tree is a heavy and constant bearer and commences to bear at an early 
age, four-year-old trees having produced 150 pounds of fruit. It blooms very 
late in the spring, avoiding all danger from spring frosts. The fruit is one to 
two inches long, and chocolate colored. It is delicious when eaten fresh or 
cured like dates, and is excellent for preserves and jam. Cooked in a sugar 
syrup and allowed to dry it becomes a most tasty and palatable confection 
which we believe will eventually rival the date as a commercial product. Be¬ 
cause of its productiveness and its highly nutritious and delicious fruit, capa¬ 
ble of being used in many ways, it is sure to be a valuable addition to the 
orchards and gardens. Every home should have one or more trees. It likes a 
clean back yard where it is not cultivated, but will grow anywhere. We have 
but a limited supply of these trees and, as long as they last, will deliver them 
by parcel post, postpaid, at $1.25 each.
