GRAPES 
That Thrive in the South 
All Grapes that grow in the open ground are 
descended from the wild Grapes of field and forest. 
By crossing varieties and by selection over a long 
period of time, we now have varieties that freely 
yield large, well-filled bunches in both the Musca¬ 
dine and Bunch Grape classes. We recommend the 
varieties listed on page 36. 
The Japan Persimmon is one of the finest fruits which have come to 
us from the Orient, and is becoming a standard throughout the sections 
where it can be grown. The fruit is beautiful in appearance, delicious 
to eat out of hand, and equally so in sherbets, creams and other frozen 
delicacies. 
In addition to their growing popularity for the home-garden, they 
are fast getting to be an important commercial crop as the demand 
from northern markets increases and people become acquainted with 
the luscious fruit. See page 36 for list of varieties and prices.

PEACHES 
Here in the South the cli¬ 
mate and soil work together 
to produce the finest Peaches 
grown anywhere. From your 
own garden you get the best 
Peaches, for the fruit becomes 
fully ripe on the tree. Peaches 
can be grown readily in small 
gardens just as well as in 
large commercial orchards. 
On page 36 we list the va¬ 
rieties that experience has 
proved to be best adapted to 
general Southern planting. 
The area has been divided 
into four zones, and the ap¬ 
proximate time of ripening is 
given. This plan will help you 
to select varieties suited to 
your own locality—for in¬ 
stance, Jewel Peach is adapted 
to central and southern 
Florida and tropical climates, 
and ripens the latter part of 
May.
