PERSIMMONS,.-, - 
We have done a lot of experimenting with 
persimmons to find varieties fitted for the north¬ 
west. They are so difficult that we are digging 
and packing each one separately this year so 
that there is no drying of roots. 
ORIENTAL PERSIMMONS 
TAMOPAN: A variety from north China, very 
hardy and productive. Fruit sometimes five 
inches through. Trees 3-4 ft., each. $1.50 
LOTUS: A small black persimmon called some¬ 
times the Chinese date. Seedlings 3-4 ft. 
Each.$ .75 
AMERICAN PERSIMMONS 
LAMBERT: One of the finest of the grafted va¬ 
rieties. Fruit about two inches through. Trees 
3-4 ft., each. $1.25 
AMERICAN SEEDINGS: Trees 3-4 ft., ea.$ .40 
HYBRID PERSIMMONS 
KAWAKAMI: A cross of the Asiatic and Amer¬ 
ican, with larger size than American and 
more sugar than the Asiatic. Trees 3-4 ft., 
each. $1.50 
ALMONDS 
We are grafting a variety that bears well in this 
section without cross pollination. Trees 4-6 
ft., each. $ .50 
PISTACHIOS 
A dry land tree naturally, grows well as far 
north as we are here (near Portland). Tree 
3-4 ft. 50c, 4-6 ft., each. $ .75 
THILL: A grafted variety that bears early and 
well. Far better than the average butternut. 
Each. $1.50 
GINGKOS 
The maidenhair tree of China. Odd fern¬ 
shaped leaves, female trees bear nuts that 
are good when roasted. Tree 3-4 ft., ea.. $ .75 
GRAPES 
We are doing considerable work experiment¬ 
ing with grapes. We have a few of the Euro¬ 
pean grapes that will ripen in our cool climates 
of the Willamette. These were brought in from 
Europe through the New York Experiment Sta¬ 
tion. 
CHASSELAS ROSE: Each.$ .40 
- CHASSELAS GOLDEN: Each.$ .40 
PINOT GRESS: Each.$ .40

FIGS 
Everyone in this section wants fig tree. These 
are good tried-out varieties — Honey or 
Lattarula (white), and the Brown Turkey. 
Small trees, each.$ .50 
WALNUT GRAFTING 
It is becoming quite evident that growers 
must graft over seedling walnut groves to Fran- 
quettes if they expect to stay in the business of 
growing walnuts. Franquettes pay over twice 
as well on the average as seedling groves and 
the nuts are more easily sold. We are doing 
considerable grafting of walnuts and will take 
as much as we can handle for next season. Our 
prices are very reasonable. As we only send 
out our own experienced men, the amount we 
can take is limited. 
POLLINATION GRAFTING 
We also do considerable work in grafting 
in King Pollinizers in older groves. No grower 
of Franquettes can afford to be without extra 
pollination. We usually graft a limb in every 
third tree in every third row. In a few years 
the grove will have adequate cross pollination.
