PLUMS (Continued) 
Red June. An early red Oriental Plum. 
Usually a sure-cropper because of its 
late bloom. Very good variety of its 
season.

been a standard for years and is the 
most extensively planted Plum in this 
section. Medium size, purple, prolific,

but considered a shy bearer.

FIGS 
(Not recommended North of Virginia) 
Figs have been very little planted in this

increasing. They are hardy in Eastern 
Virginia and along the Atlantic Seaboard 
as far north as Washington, D. C. 
Brown Turkey. Large, dark brown skin 
covered with thick blue bloom; flesh red, 
very delicious flavor. One of the hardiest 
varieties.

all Figs. Can be grown far outside the 
usual limits of culture; prolific. Medium 
size; light violet with bloom; sweet and 
excellent.

EVERBEARING MULBERRY

poultry relishes and thrives on. We offer 
the Hardy Russian Everbearing Variety.

QUINCES 
A very popular fruit which is seldom 
found on the market, but always in 
demand. 
Orange. Large, orange-shaped, fine, gold- 
en, firm flesh of excellent flavor. The 
finest 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.

bush. Golden-yellow fruit, used for jelly 
and marmalade. 2-3 ft., $1.00 each;

ASPARAGUS 
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 Asparagus Tips for 6 
weeks in early Spring. 
2 yr. field grown roots, $1.70 per 25; 
$2.30 per 50; $3.90 per 100; $7.00 per 
250; $11.00 per 500; $20.00 per 1000. 
ORIENTAL PERSIMMON 
The culture of this delicious fruit has 
been somewhat curtailed because many 
who are not familiar with it have attempt- 
ed to compare it with our native Persim- 
mon. It is regarded by many as being a 
tropical fruit. While it will grow in more 
tropical climates it can also be grown in 
Virginia and along the coastline much 
farther north. 
The Oriental Persimmon is a large, de- 
licious fruit. The Tane-Nashi variety, 
which we grow and recommend, is roundish 
conical in shape, is bright red when fully 
ripe, and seedless. 
5-6 ft., $2.00 each; 10 rate, $1.85 each

Peppermint, but milder flavor.

ground cover.

RHUBARB 
Every gardener likes 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, con- 
tinues ‘long in use, and is valuable for can- 
ning. Make the ground rich and deep, as 
recommended for Asparagus. Plant 4 feet 
apart each way. 
Victoria. Immense long stalks of a cherry 
red color. A most popular variety. Our 
stock entirely made up of strong, vigor- 
ous roots, assuring immediate, sturdy 
growth.
