PLUMS 
Plum trees should be planted 15 to 25 
feet apart each way. They are desirable 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 attack the fruit. 
Burbank. Very large; skin clear rich red, 
showing yellow dots; flesh deep yellow, 
firm and meaty. See ‘Wlustration page 9. 
Red June. Medium to large, deep ver- 
milion-red fruit; flesh light lemon-yellow, 
slightly subacid. Vigorous grower.

Winesap. A very thrifty grower. Fruit 
deep red when half ripe, blending into 
dark purple as it ripens; juicy; cling; 
very large—some specimens reach a 
diameter of 21% inches. Sweet-acid when 
ripe, with slight tang. One of the best 
keepers and shippers. July 1 to 15. 
Methley. Large, firm, red-fleshed, good 
shipper. Pronounced, by those who have 
tested it, the best Plum grown. 
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 which gives this 
information on it: “S. P. I. 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 Georgia) the S. P. I. tree has 
produced exceptionally large crops. 
Tree is vigorous and has been bearing 
several years. It is seemingly affected 
but little by dry weather.”

growing, early-ripening Grape of good

The Muscadine group of Grapes 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 (Muscadine). Well known 
in the South. Large berries, seldom 
more than 8 to 10 in a cluster; thick 
brown skin; pulpy flesh, very vinous, 
sweet. Peculiar musky aroma. Prolific.

FIGS 
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, yel- 
lowish brown; pulp tender, rich and of 
finest quality. Fruit borne on long 
stems, allowing it to hang blossom end 
down at maturity. 
Celeste. Fruit is of medium size with 
thin pale violet skin and firm, juicy, 
rich and sweet flesh. Tree strong grower 
and reliable bearer. Hardiest of all.

WIGHT NURSERIES - 

CITRUS FRUITS 
At Wight Nurseries we have producing 
trees of Satsuma Oranges, Kumquats, 
Duncan Grapefruit, Meyer Lemon, and 
Citrangequat. 
We do not recommend planting Citrus 
fruits north of the latitude of Albany, Ga. 
(Florida laws do not permit the introduc- 
tion of Citrus trees from outside that 
state.) 
Our Citrus fruits are budded on hardy 
Citrus trifoliata, and should come into 
bearing from two to three years after 
transplanting. Success with Citrus de- 
pends on well-drained soil. The trees 
should be kept free from insect pests, b 
spraying two to four times each season. 
hand spray pump Is sufficient for this pur- 
pose. A southern exposure is best for all 
members of the orange family in that this 
gives them air drainage to the south. 
Owari Satsuma 
Begins bearing very young and is among 
the most deliciously flavored of Citrus 
fruits. Flesh tender, juicy, fine grained, 
sweet and delicious with a peculiarly 
agreeable flavor. The fruit ripens early in 
October through November. Satsumas 
can be raised satisfactorily in the back 
yard. 
By careful selection of buds in our own 
producing groves, we have built up a hardy 
strain of especially fine quality. See illus- 
tration, page 9. Each 10 100

Calamondin 
A small Citrus fruit, 144 inches in diam- 
eter, orange-red color. Along with Kum- 
uats, probably the most ornamental of 
the hardy Citrus group. Fruit makes excel- 
lent marmalade. $1 each. 
Duncan Grapefruit 
Hardiest of the Grapefruit. Fruit large, 
juicy. 1-yr. buds, 50 cts. each; 2-yr. buds 
$1 each; 3-yr. buds, $1.50 each. 
Meyer Lemon 
This hardy Lemon was found in the 
Orient many years ago by Dr. Meyer, 
explorer for the U. S. Department of Agri- 
culture, and has been named for him. We 
have matured this fruit in the open ground 
for the last several years. Is considered 
superior to other Lemons. We offer this 
only in limited quantities. $1 each. 
Ichiang Lemon 
Very similar to Meyer Lemon, but per- 
haps a little more hardy. $1 each. 
Kumquat 
This is the smallest of the edible Citrus 
fruits grown in the northern part of the 
citrus-growing region. The Kumquat is a 
sweet-skinned orange, and makes a choice 
fruit for desserts, jellies, jams, preserves, 
and marmalades. The trees are hardy, 
bear enormous yields, and never miss a crop. 
Nagami. Fruit oblong. 
Meiwa. Fruit large, round. 
Marumi. Fruit small, round. 
l-yr. plants, 75 cts. each; 2-yr., $1 each 
3-yr., heavy, $1.50 each. 
Prospective fruit-growers are invited to 
visit our nurseries and inspect the trees and 
plants. If this is not convenient, write us; we 
will be glad to assist you.
