Burbank Plums 
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. The beauty of the fruit, and its 
excellent quality, more than olfset the 
care required to make them live. 
Fuyugaki. Tree vigorous, upright 
growfer. Fruit medium to large, nearly 
round, but somewhat flattened; skin 
smooth, tough; color reddish yellow; 
flesh meaty and of exceptionally good 
flavor. Bears yoLing. Non-astringent; 
can be eaten while still hard; may be 
peeled and eaten like an apple. 
Gailey. Recommended for its staminate 
flowers for pollenizing and not for 
its fruit. Fruit small; skin dull red; 
flesh dark about the seeds, meaty, juicy. 
Should be in every planting. 
Tamopan. 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 prob¬ 
ably the most popular variety. Large 
to very large, roundish, conical, pointed; 
skin light yellow, changing to deep red. 
Quality very line. The leading market 
variety. See color illustration page 17.

PLUMS 
Plum trees shoidd be planted 15 to 
25 feet apart each way and can be used, 
if desired, as lillers in an orchard between 
permanent trees. They are desirable in 
Ijoultry-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; skin clear rich red, 
showing yellow dots; flesh deep yellow, 
firm and meaty. 
Red June. Medium to larp;e, deep ver- 
milion-red fruit; flesh light lemon-yellow, 
slightly sub-acid. Vigorous grower. 
Prolific. June. 
Kelsey’s Japan. Very large, heart- 
shaped, greenish yellow fruit, some¬ 
times spotted red. Vigorous grower; 
prolific bearer; good quality. July.

WInesap. This variety is rapidly growing 
in tavor 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 bud¬ 
ding. Fruit deep red when half ripe, 
blending into dark purple as it ripens; 
juicy; cling; very large—some specimens 
reach a diameter of lYi inches. Sweet- 
acid when ripe, with slight tang, not at 
all unpleasant in ripe fruit. One of the 
best keepers and shippers. July 1 to 15. 
Methley. A new and isromising 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 Wine- 
sap 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 unnamed in¬ 
troduction of the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture, this Plum has been highly 
recommended to us by one of the State 
Experiment Stations w'hich gives this 
information on it: “S. P. 1. 47935 Plum 
resembles that of the Winesap but when 
full ripe it is a bit darker red in color and 
sweeter in taste. Except when the cold 
weather killed all Plum buds (in latitude 
of middle Ceorgia) the S. P. 1. tree has 
produced exceptionally large crops. 
Trt^e is vigorous and has been bearing 
several years. It is seemingly affected 
but little by dry weather.”

Wise home-owners realize that a planting 
of some sort is necessary around the home. 
Such planting should not be limited to a mere 
law n and an ordinary hedge. There are many 
beautiful trees and shrubs which cost little, 
yet add to the pleasure of the occupants as 
well as improving the appearance of the 
grounds. A few fruit trees, set at the rear of 
the house, bring added value to the property. 
GRAPES 
Commercial vineyards of Bunch Crapes 
lor supplying local markets have proved 
profitable in many parts of the South. 
Although the Bunch Crape is not native 
of the South, with proper care it gives 
excellent results. Vines should be planted 
8 to 10 feet apart and trained on a three- 
wire trellis. 
Beacon. Fruit dark purple, almost black, 
and borne in large clusters. A strong¬ 
growing, early-ripening Crape of good 
quality. One of the best and longest 
lived Crapes for the Lower South.

and heavy bearer. An old favorite. 
Delaware. Small to medium-sized 
bunches of small pink fruits. In quality 
one of the best.

white fruits. An attractive market 
variety.

The Muscadine group of Crapes is 
native to the South; they are old favorites. 
They are well adapted to soil and climate 
and need no introduction to the South. 
Muscadine vines are generally trained on 
overhead trellises and are .spaced 20 to 
25 feet apart each way. 
Scuppernong (Aluscadiyie). W ell known 
in the South. Large berries, seldom 
more than 8 to 10 in a cluster; thick
