— CHINESE JUJUBE 
A fruit from the high interior of China, to which the United States Department of Agriculture has given 
much attention in recent years. We have tried it carefully and feel sure it will be one of our most valuable 
fruits. The fruits of the improved varieties are 1%4 to 2 inches in diameter, is sweet, crisp and rather dry 
when eaten fresh. It is excellent when picked and all»wed to stand, as it gains an added flavor when dry. 
Makes one of the most’ delectable jams that ever passed 
the human palate. If cooked in a syrup and allow to dry 
it makes a confection rivaling the candied date. 
The tree is a heavy and consistent bearer, never fail- 
ing to produce a large crop. Begins to bear unusually 
early, fruit ripening in August and September, Tree at- 
tains in time a height of 30 or 40 feet and in some cases 
more. Because the Jujube is a sure producer, is a highly 
nutritious and delicious fruit, it is capable of being used 
in many ways. It will thrive in locations where many 
other things will not do well, and we feel certain that it 
will take its place in the south as one of our most profit- 
able fruits in time to come. 
Every home should have one or more trees, it being 
ornamental as well as valuable for its fruits. Closely 
resembles the Prickly Ash. Requires practically no cul- 
tivation, no spraying, no pruning. Place in the corners 
of your lot and forget about them... then, some fine 
morning, wake up to find something the groceryman 
cannot furnish you as yet. 
TO MAKE-DATES-OUT OF JUJUBES 
Gather the fruit when it is first colored all 
over or nearly so. It should be firm. Score 
the skin with knife six or eight times or, bet- 
ter, make a hackle by driving three-penny 
nails half an inch apart through a half-inch 
board or paddle; spread the fruit on a table 
or in a box and hackle the skins full of nail 
holes. 
Then put them in sugar syrup or honey 
and boil twenty to thirty minutes and set 
off over night. Boil ten minutes and let cool, 
then strain out and drip them and they are 
ready to pack down or for immediate use.

: THE RAMSEY FIG 
The Ramsey Fig developed from a seedling on the grounds of the Ramsey Nursery in Texas. It is believed to have come from a Lemon fig crossed with 
a Magnolia but the fruit does not crack open. Produces three or four times as much fruit as any other fig. Ripens from August until frost. One year trees 
always bear fruit, each limb bearing from twenty to forty delicious, golden-colored, sweet as sugar figs. 
Bears first year. Fruit medium to large. Bears on the new wood. In sections having severe weather the 
tops will freeze in which case it is advisable to cut to the ground. New growth will come in the spring and 
will produce an enormous amount of fruit. We consider the Ramsey Fig to be just about the finest fig in 
those locations where the fig will thrive and in addition, will extend itself far beyond the limits of 
anythnig else known to fig culture. For extreme northern locations, it can be used as a pot plant and 
will produce astonishingly the first season. 
In this section, Gray, Ga., we are subject to late spring freezes. During the last two years our Ramsey 
_. Figs were cut to the ground by late freezes but in each case the new growth quickly came out. Plants 
‘12 and 18 inches high being loaded with fruit’.

TAMARIX—Estivalis 
Out of some fifteen varieties, we consider this as the best. A large shrub with slender branches cov- 
ered in the summer with feathery pink-lavender bowers that is a sight to behold. To those unfamiliar 
with the plant I will describe as having the appearance of some tropical, very delicate, pine or cedar. 
However, Tamarix is very hardy, will grow most anywhere under most any kind of condition. In our 
own plantings we have used it very liberally and find it makes a wonderful hedge effect, the long stems 
waving with the breeze, the pink-lavender flowers contrasting nicely with everything surrounding it. 
Will grow from 8 to 15 feet in a season, so therefore, we recommend pruning it down to the ground every 
year, If you are unable to fix a picture of this plant in your mind, shut your eyes and order anyhow. We 
will guarantee you will never regret the purchase.

Mr. Gould, of the United States Department of Agriculture, en- 
thusiastically declared he had never seen such a row of figs. The 
hundreds on a small tree and the delicious quality were unheard of, 
unthought of, and wholly unequalled. 
Figs should be preserved with skin and stems on them. It is less 
trouble than any other way, but nothing is better. They can be 
boiled in syrup and candied, or crystallized by drying in the sun. 
There is a little fortune in a few hundred of these trees in either 
town or country.
