FRUITS FOR SOUTHERN GARDENS 
While the South is usually regarded as the home of the citrus and other tropical fruits, there are other deciduous fruits 
which may be planted to advantage, either in commercial orchards or for home use. Delicious Peaches, Plums, Persimmons, 
Figs, and Grapes prolong the season of these delectable fruits to include almost the entire year. Pears also may find a place in 
Southern gardens, since new blight-resistant varieties are available. We have all of the best varieties for your selection. 
MULBERRIES 
For quick, effective shade and an abun¬ 
dance of fruits for birds, chickens, and 
pigs, no other tree takes the place of the 
Mulberry about the home. In addition, 
the fruit is wholesome and abundant. 
Every farm should have them. 
Hicks. Rapid-growing, early-bearing trees, 
producing good fruits all summer. 
Stubbs. A vigorous tree producing large, 
acid, black fruits of best quality. 
Townsend. Very vigorous tree, bearing 
wonderfully fine crops of medium-sized 
fruits very early in spring.

Terrell Plum 
PLUMS 
In the Lower South some Japanese- 
native hybrid Plums are most successful. 
Of these, Excelsior, McRea and Terrell are 
outstanding. Not many of the other Plum 
types are successful fruiters in the Southern 
sections. Our list is selected from the best. 
Excelsior. Introduced by Mr. Taber in 
1887. Size medium or larger, round; 
wine-red; full of juice, and of excellent 
flavor. The most successful variety we 
know of for the lower sections of the 
Southeast. 
McRea. Medium size; yellow, overwashed 
with red; crimson flesh, juicy, excel¬ 
lently flavored. Prolific. 
Terrell. Cling. Another fine hybrid, 
larger than the above; red with small dots 
and mottlings; flesh greenish yellow, 
veryjuicy,and aromatic. One of the best. 
Wild. A native wild variety which blooms 
at the same time as the above, and 
often aids materially in the production 
of heavy crops. 
We can also furnish trees of Abun¬ 
dance, Burbank, Kelsey, Red June, 
and Satsuma Plums.
