PERSIMMONS [Japanesejjf 
Diospyrus 
Persimmons are destined to become one 
of the leading fruits of the cotton belt and 
lower South. This may seem an extrava¬ 
gant statement, but as soon as there is 
enough of this fruit on the market for 
people to learn the richness and delicious¬ 
ness, the demand will increase far in ex¬ 
cess of the supply. Where the Persimmon 
is known on the market it finds ready sale. 
In Japan, the Persimmon is to the Japa¬ 
nese what the apple is to the American. The 
cost of cultivation, care and production, 
is reduced to a minimum. The trees thrive 
on almost any soil, giving good results on 
land too poor for almost any other crop. 
GAILEY —Ter. 1 to 3. Small. oblong,—conical 
shaped fruit. Dull red color. Flesh is dark, about 
the seeds. Produces an abundance of staminate 
flowers for pollenizing other varieties. One tree of 
this variety_ should be planted to every 6 or 8 of 
the other kinds.

PEACHES 
Amaigydalis persica 
Peaches are not a long lived tree in the 
Coastal region. It is advisable to plant a 
few new trees every year on well-drained 
soil, and new virgin land, if possible, for a 
continuous home supply. Peaches should be 
well cultivated, fertilized with nitrogen 
when young, and potash when bearing. 
They should be sprayed regularly. The 
varieties we list have been chosen for the 
Gulf Coast Territory.
