NATIVE PERSIMMON, diospyros virginiana 
This is the native persimmon and has 
the delicate but distinct flavor of the per¬ 
simmon and not the flavor of the orien¬ 
tal. The persimmon will succeed on a 
wide range of soils and well up into the 
Northern States. Glossy green foliage 
Very ornamental. 
LAMBERT. This is the largest per¬ 
simmon we are growing. The fruit 
measures from l\i to IV 2 inches across 
and IV 2 to 2 inches long. Ripens from 
mid season to late. 
EARLY GOLDEN. This is a medium 
to large round type of fruit and of very 
fine flavor. Fruit ripens early, about 
latter part of September here. 
JOSEPHINE. This is a small fruited 
seedless type of very fine flavor. Ripens 
about mid-season. 
SUPPLY OF TREES 
The demand for certain varieties of 
trees is something we cannot control 
or anticipate. We try always to have 
a good supply of trees on hand, but we 
often sell out of varieties early and 
have to return late orders. We ask 
your patience if this should happen to 
your order. Sometimes we book orders 
for a year ahead and when this is done we return the money sent for the 
customer to hold until time for shipment of the order. We do not want to 
hold money over the summer for any unfilled orders unless it is the wish of 
the customer.

IMPROVED ROOT SYSTEMS 
Although conditions here are very favorable for both root and top de¬ 
velopment, we greatly improve the root system by an improved method of 
transplanting the young trees. Such trees have more compact and larger root 
systems. Transplantings add considerably to the cost of the trees but this is 
necessary if the trees are to be transplanted successfully by the purchaser 
later on. 
BLIGHT RESISTANT CHESTNUT 
CHINESE CHESTNUT, castanea molissima—This strain was introduced 
by the U. S. Department of Agriculture in its search for blight resistant 
species, and is the best of the chestnuts so introduced. The nuts are larger 
than those of the American chestnut and are equally sweet and good. This 
species does w r ell on a wide lange of soils but does not do so well on low poorly 
drained soil.
