JAPANESE 
PERSIMMONS 
Some varieties of Japanese Persimmons, 
under certain conditions, are self-polleniz- 
ing, but it has been found advisable to 
plant among the other varieties, the 
staminate variety called Gailey. One tree 
of this variety to ten trees of the other 
varieties will insure good pollenization and 
fruit will grow on to maturity. 
Japanese Persimmons naturally do not 
make a heavy root system, and should be 
very carefully transplanted. Cutting back 
the top severely is, in many cases, desir¬ 
able. In our opinion the beauty of the 
fruit on the tree, and their excellent qual¬ 
ity, more than offset the care required 
to make them live. 
FUYUGAKI. Tree vigorous, upright 
grower; fruit medium to large, nearly 
round, but somewhat flattened; skin 
smooth, tough; color reddish yellow. 
Flesh meaty and of exceptionally good 
flavor. Bears young. Non-astringent; 
can be eaten while still hard; may be 
peeled and eaten like an apple. 
AMOPAN. A Chinese variety of special 
merit. Fruit is large,-somewhat flattened 
and with a compressed ring around it 
as though a string had been tied around 
the fruit while growing. Color beautiful 
golden red; skin quite thick and tough. 
TANE NASHI. The best known and 
probably the most popular variety. 
Large to very large, roundish, conical, 
pointed; skin light yellow, changing to 
deep red. Quality very fine. The leading 
market variety. 
GAILEY. Recommended for its staminate 
flowers for pollenizing and not for 
its fruit. Fruit small, color dull red; 
flesh dark about the seeds, 
meaty, juicy. Should be in 
every planting.

Reading Matter 
We have special reading 
matter on several subjects 
which gives fuller information 
than can be given in this cata¬ 
logue. Among these are the 
following, any of which will be 
furnished on request; “Some 
Questions .Answered in Regard 
to Recan Trees,” “The Man¬ 
agement of Pecan Orchards,”

Spectabilis,” “Satsumas.” 
FIGS 
A truly Southern fruit of high quality 
which cannot be grown in the North. This 
fruit is found almost universally in home 
plantings in the South. Figs are delicious 
for eating both fresh and preserved. 
Fig trees may be planted as close to¬ 
gether as 10 to 12 feet, and require very 
little cultivation. Cultivation should al¬ 
ways be shallow as the roots are close to 
the surface. Figs seem to do best when 
their roots can run under buildings. Both 
varieties we list are very hardy. 
BROWN TURKEY. Medium to large, 
yellowish brown; pulp tender, rich and 
of finest quality. Fruit borne on long 
stems, allowing fruit to hang blossom 
end down at maturity. 
CELESTE. Fruit is of medium size; color 
pale violet, thin skin and firm flesh. 
Juicy, rich and sweet. Tree strong grow¬ 
er and reliable bearer. Hardiest of all 
the figs.

PLUMS 
Come and See 
Our nursery, orchard and farm 
is a miniature experiment station 
where we are testing various things 
of interest to every gardener and 
farmer. What we learn may be yours. 
Tane Nashi Persimmon 
Plum trees should be planted 1.5 to 
25 feet apart each way and can be used, 
if desired, as a filler in an orchard be¬ 
tween permanent trees. It is desirable to 
plant plums in poultry yards as the 
nitrogenous fertilizer furnished by the 
chicken manure seems to be just what the 
trees need; also the fowls clean up the 
curculio that attacks the fruit. 
BURBANK. Very large, clear rich red, 
showing yellow dots. Elesh deep yel¬ 
low; firm and meaty. 
RED JUNE. Vigorous grower. Prolific. 
Medium to large. Deep vermilion red. 
Showy. Elesh light lemon yellow, 
slightly sub-acid. June. 
KELSEY JAPAN. Very large, heart- 
shaped, greenish yellow, sometimes 
spotted red. Vigorous grower, prolific 
bearer, good quality. July.

WINESAP. A recent introduction which 
is growing rapidly in favor wherever it 
is known. A very thrifty grower. It is 
not uncommon for trees in the nursery 
row to make 8 to 10 feet of growth the 
first year after budding. Emit deep red 
when half ripe, blending into dark pur¬ 
ple as it ripens. Juicy; cling; very large; 
some specimens reach a diameter of 
234 inches. Sweet-acid when ripe, with 
slight tang, not at all unpleasant in ripe 
fruit. One of the best keepers and 
shippers. July 1st to 15th. 
METHLEY. A new and promising plum. 
Large, firm, red fleshed, good shipper. 
Pronounced by those who have tested it 
the best plum grown. We had numbers 
of requests for both Methley 
and Winesap plum trees last 
season which we could not fill. 
Although we have a good 
supply this year, we suggest 
ordering early. 
PLUM S. P. I. 47935. An un¬ 
named introduction of the 
U. S. Department of Agricul¬ 
ture, this plum has been high¬ 
ly recommended to us by one 
of the State Experiment Sta¬ 
tions. Although we have not 
fruited it at Cairo, we believe 
it worthy of a trial. The Ex¬ 
periment Station gives us this 
information on it: “S. P. 1. 
47935 plum resembles that of 
the Winesap but when full ripe 
is a bit darker red in color and 
sweeter in taste. Except for 
this year, when the cold weath¬ 
er killed all plum buds (in lati¬ 
tude of middle Georgia) the 
S. P, 1. tree has produced ex¬ 
ceptionally large crops. Tree is 
vigorous and has been bearing 
5 years. It is seemingly affected 
but little by dry weather.”
