Fruit of Chinese Jujube 
\ 
* CHINESE JUJUBE 
(Zizyphus) 
A fruit from the high interior of China. 
Adapted in all kinds of soil from the Gulf 
Coast to the Central States. Tree is very 
hardy, slightly resembling the Prickly Ash, 
of upright growth, extremely ornamental. 
Leaves rich, glossy green. 
Fruit is chocolate colored; of different 
shapes, round and oblong; of the texture 
of an apple, and of a flavor comparable to 
nothing else, and can be eaten fresh, pre- 
served, cured as dates or candied. Ripens 
from July to October. 
For real quality and size, we recommend 
the improved variety called LANG. Trees 
from the seedlings or sucker plants will 
vary in size and shape, although of good 
quality. Such trees are as ornamental as 
the better variety. 
Seedling, or sucker plants.

Bearing Peach Trees Before and After 
Proper Pruning 

From E. R. V., Hearne, Texas 
Believe me when I say I appreciate very 
much your generous adjustment and the send- 
ing to me of fifty Elberta peach trees. The 
trees surely are dandy and one of my neigh- 
bors wanted to know where I got them, so I 
loaned him my catalogue.
