Our Dwarf Fig is particularly 
adapted to growing in the north 
as it does well in either tubs or 
in the open ground. The root is 
perfectly hardy. Should tops 
freeze, it can be cut to the 
ground, and when it begins 
growing again it will produce 
fruit on the new wood. We rec- 
ommend tub culture north of 
Philadelphia. Plants bear the 
first year they are set out, and 
abundantly each year thereafter. 
The fruit is of good size, sweet 
and delicious, with flesh.that is 
firm and meaty. Is an excellent 
fruit for making preserves, jams, | 
canning, drying, or to eat fresh. 
Fine, 2-3 ft. trees, 85¢ each;
