FIGS FOR THE NORTH 
You can grow your own Figs, even in the North, for 
the trees are almost hardy, and usually carry through well 
if given a position close to south side of a building or 
wall where cold winds are broken, together with a pro- 
tection of corn stalks or other material in winter. Figs 
grow quite quickly, and start fruiting at a fairly early 
age. In the North they are best trimmed as semi-bushes, 
or as low, several-stemmed trees. About half of the seed- 
lings may be expected to bear good, edible, sweet fruits. 
There are hundreds of fruiting fig trees in many of our 
larger cities (as Philadelphia), growing in the restricted 
yard spaces of the areas where our people of south Euro- 
pean origin live. We offer seeds saved from good, fruiting 
varieties, including new crosses. Ficus carica. Pkt. 20c.
