GRAPES 
The group of Muscadine Grapes is well 
and favorably known throughout the 
East and Southeast. For the Southeast, 
in particular, many sorts of the Bunch 
Grapes do not seem to be well adapted, 
but of those which are successful here we 
have long produced and distributed the 
following list:

lent. August, September.

PEARS 
Every home-garden should have a few 
Pear trees to supply luscious, juicy fruit 
for the table as well as dependable cook- 
ing varieties. In spring the trees are a 
cloud of white blossoms. 
Carnes. See page 29. 
Hood. Blight-resisting. Large, yellowish 
green fruit, with white flesh, very juicy, 
mellow, free from grit, and deliciously fla-

it makes the best Pear orchard of which

JAPAN 
PERSIMMONS 
Of the summer to winter fruits culti- 
vated in the South, few are more attrac- 
tive than Japan Persimmons. The most 
valuable are included in our list. The 
fruits are medium to large, sweet, palat- 
able and the trees should be in all fruit- 
gardens. Commercial plantings have been 
profitable, and the fruit-markets of the 
country have not yet been supplied. These 
fruits, used fresh, are delicious, and equally 
so in sherbets, creams, and other frozen 
mixtures. 
Fuyugaki. One of the best. Oblate, medium 
to large; deep red skin; light flesh, non- 
astringent, very sweet and may be used 
while still hard; seedless. Perhaps the very 
best shipper and keeper. Should be in all 
plantings. September, October. 
Gailey. Small, oblate-conical; dull red; flesh 
dark about the seeds, firm, juicy. Pro- 
duces an abundance of staminate flowers 
for pollenizing other sorts. Valuable in 
commercial and home orchards. 
Hachiya. Very large and showy; brilliant 
red skin; sweet, deep yellow flesh, astrin- 
gent until ripe. 
Okame. Large, oblate; orange-yellow to 
carmine skin; flesh light and non-astringent 
when ripe, light brown around seeds, 
quality fine. Midseason to late. 
Tane-Nashi. Large to very large, roundish 
conical, very attractive; skin light yellow, 
changing to bright red; flesh yellow, of 
finest quality; seedless. Prolific, bearing 
quite young. The finest commercial] sort 
and most popular for home use. 
Triumph. Medium size, tomato-shaped; 
skin red; flesh yellow, with a few seeds, 
finest quality. Midseason to very late. 
We can also furnish trees of Hyakume, 
Ormond, Taber’s No. 23, Tamopan, and 
Tsuru varieties. Season, early to De- 
cember. 
PLUMS 
In the Lower South some Japanese- 
native hybrid Plums are most successful. 
Of these, Excelsior, McRea and Terrell are 
outstanding. Not many of the other Plum 
types are successful fruitersin the Southern 
sections. Our list is selected from the best. 
Excelsior. Introduced by Mr. Taber. See 
page 29. 
McRea. Medium size; yellow, overwashed 
with red; crimson flesh, juicy, excel- 
lently flavored. Prolific. 
Terrell. Cling. Another fine hybrid, 
larger than the above; red with small dots 
and mottlings; flesh greenish yellow, very 
juicy, and aromatic. One of the best. 
Wild. A native wild variety which blooms 
at the same time as the above, and often 
aids materially in the production of heavy 
crops. 
We can also furnish trees of Abundance, 
Burbank, Chabot, Kelsey, Red June, and 
Satsuma Plums. 
BANANAS 
A rapid-growing, large-foliaged plant 
that is very decorative and produces 
quantities of fruit. Requires moist ground 
and an abundance of plant-food. Best 
grown in Florida on margins of lakes, 
banks of streams, and similar places. 
Cavendish. Plants tender. Fine fruits. 
Hart (Hart’s Choice; Lady-Finger). A 
valuable sort; hardier than Cavendish. 
Orinoco (Horse Banana). A strong grower, 
producing small bunches of fruits.
