WAYMESBORO, VIRGINIA 15 
APRICOTS 
We offer the Superb, a hardy Russian 
Strain, being most hardy of all, bearing when 
others fail. Fruit medium size, golden, free- 
stone, excellent quality. Can be grown any- 
where Peaches are hardy. 
NECTARINES 
The Nectarine is another delicious fruit too 
seldom grown in the East. The Nectarine is 
scarcely more than a fuzzless Peach. The tree, 
habits, and the quality of the fruit are very 
much like those of the Peach with the excep- 
tion of the fruit being smooth like a Plum. 
Great improvements have been made in the 
varieties of Nectarines in the last few years. 
We offer the Sure-Crop, which was imported 
from New Zealand by the United States De- 
partment of Agriculture. The fruit is large, 
E bright red, and has a very pleasant flavor. 
The tree is hardy and productive, justifying all that the name Sure-Crop implies. 
The flesh of the fruit is white, juicy, fine grained, tender, sweet, aromatic, and very 
good in quality. 
The Sure-Crop has been thoroughly tested out by the New York Fruit Testing 
Association and is pronounced the best white flesh Nectarine so far planted on the 
station grounds. This variety has also been carefully tested in our test orchards and 
has been bearing regularly fruit of the highest quality. If you can grow Peaches, 
there is no reason why you should not grow Nectarines. 
QUINCES 
If you enjoy Quinces, you should grow them as they are seldom found on the mar- 
ket, not because of lack of demand but because too few planters are growing them. 
Surely there is money in growing Quinces at $3.00 or $4.00 per bushel—the price 
often asked for them when available at all. Plant Quinces for at least home use and 
a few extra for local market. We offer the Orange and Champion the two most popular. 
ORANGE. Large, orange-shaped, fine, golden, firm flesh of excellent flavor. The fin- 
est of the old varieties. Trees bear young, are very productive. Best known of all 
the Quinces. 
CHAMPION. Flavor equal to that of the Orange variety. Ripens about two weeks 
later. Strong tree, free grower, more like an Apple than a Quince. Usually comes 
into bearing the second or third year. Very productive and of the largest size, flesh 
cooks very tender, free from hard spots or cores found in some varieties. 
JAPANESE QUINCE 
Small, shrub-like tree. Begins bearing very young; large, golden, highly flavored 
fruit which makes excellent jelly. In addition to producing valuable fruit, the trees 
are ornamental when in bloom. 
RUSSIAN MULBERRY 
Not recommended as a commercial crop, but has a place about the home, especially 
in poultry lots, where it furnishes an abundance of delicious fruit which the poultry 
relishes and thrives on. We offer the Hardy Russian Everbearing Variety. 
FIGS 
Figs have been very little planted in this section, but are becoming better known 
and the demand for them is constantly increasing. They are hardy in Eastern Virginia 
and along the Atlantic Seaboard as far north as Baltimore. The Celestial is the 
most popular variety, with the Brown Turkey as second. 
CELESTIAL. Hardiest and most popular of all Figs. Can be grown far outside the 
oo limits of culture; prolific. Medium size; ight violet with bloom; sweet and 
excellent.

Washington Asparagus 


BROWN TURKEY. Large, dark brown skin covered with 
thick blue bloom; flesh red, very delicious flavor. 
We cannot imagine any plant more easily grown than 
Asparagus, its chief requirement being a deep, fertile soil. 
When grown commercially, Asparagus is planted in rows 
3 to 4 feet apart and 12 to 18 inches apart in the row. When 
grown for home use, it may be planted in a bed or border. 
We grow and offer exclusively the NEW, PEDIGREED 
WASHINGTON VARIETY, which is resistant to rust. 
One hundred plants will furnish your table with fresh 
Every gardener like a dozen or so bunches of Rhubarb. 
It does well here, but many planters have neglected planting 
it. Commercial gardeners find it a profitable crop. Rhubarb 
affords the earliest material for fine pies and fresh table sauce, 
continues long in use, and is valuable for canning. Make the 
ground rich and deep, as recommended for Asparagus. 
Immense long stalks of a cherry red color. A 
most popular variety. Our stock entirely made up of strong, 
vigorous roots, assucins immediate, sturdy growth. 

BOHEMIAN HORSERADISH 
A new introduction, finer grained and considered much 
better than the old variety. Valuable as a seasoning 
for meats and as a relish, 
SAGE 
An old-time herb which is still much ir demand for 
seasoning meats. Half a dozen plants growing in a 
nook in your garden will provide for the family’s re- 
quirements. 
JAPANESE PERSIMMON 
The culture of this delicious. fruit has been somer 
what curtailed because many who are not familiae 
with it have attempted to compare it with our nativl 
Persimmon. It is regarded by many as being a tropica 
fruit. While it will grow in more tropical climates it 
can also be grown in Virginia and along the coastline 
much farther north. 
The Japanese Persimmon is a large, delicious fruit. 
The Tane-Nashi variety, which we grow and recom- 
mend, is roundish conical in shape, is bright red when 
full ripe, and seedless. 
CURRANTS AND 
GOOSEBERRIES 
Have long been popular garden bush fruits—the Cur- 
rants for fine jellies and Gooseberries for good old Goose- 
berry pie. Unfortunately, these two excellent fruits are 
somewhat restricted in certain localities because of their 
foliage serving as a host for the White Pine Blister. 
Currants 
RED CROSS. A good, vigorous growing bush. Large 
berries, clusters of good size, perfection in quality; 
excellent for culinary purposes. 
WILDER. Clusters above medium length and berries 
large, bright red, of excellent quality, with mild, sub- 
acid flavor. Ripens early. 
Gooseberries

sort for family or market use. 
HOUGHTON. An enormously productive and always 
reliable old sort. Vigorous grower. Fruits of medium 
size, smooth, light red and tender. 

BORDEAUX MIXTURE. An excellent fungous spray 
used chiefly for brown rot on Grapes, fungus on Roses, 
brown rot, scab and fungous diseases on Peaches and 
various other fruits.
