QUINCE 
A tree known by its crooked branches and 
large, bushy head. Not grown as freely as it 
should be, for the ripe fruit has a ready market 
at a good price and is ideal for preserving. 
The fruit is large, somewhat irregular in form, 
bright golden yellow, and of excellent flavor. 
Ripens in September. 
APRICOT 
GOLDEN. July. Fruit pale orange, juicy, 
and sweet. Resembles a peach but ts 
smaller. Tree a rapid grower and _ bears 
heavily, if protected from spring frosts. 
FIGS 
Figs do well almost everywhere in Georgia 
and the other Southern States. No family 
in the South should be without at least a few 
trees of this delicious fruit, rich im nutriment 
and with the health-giving properties of fruit 
and vegetables. Figs require but little culti- 
vation, which should always be shallow, as 
the roots run very near the surface. 
BROWN TURKEY. Medium size; brown; 
sweet and of excellent quality. Tree very 
prolific, and one of the hardiest and best 
sorts. Ripens from June to October. Trees 
begin to bear at two years. 
BRUNSWICK. Very large; purple; quality 
fair. Magnificent in appearance.

EVERBEARING MULBERRIES 
Few people know the value of this wonder- 
ful and prolific fruit. For poultry and hogs 
there seems to be nothing better. Some 
growers claim that one tree 1s worth a barrel 
of corn each year, while the care and space 
It requires is much less. The trees commence 
bearing when very young—usually in full 
bearing the fourth year. Fruit commences to 
drop in May and continues several months. 
We offer only the ‘Hicks,’ which is by far 
the best of all varieties. 
PERSIMMONS 
JAPANESE. Fruit very large, deep yellow, 
usually without seed, and is edible through- 
out. Of excellent flavor when ripe. Tree a 
moderate grower, never reaching large size 
like our native Persimmon. Begins bearing 
in two to three years, and often fruits 
heavily in the nursery. Succeeds well as 
far north as Macon, Montgomery, and 
Meridian, and has been grown with some 
success as far as Virginia and middle 
Kentucky. Fruit should be picked before 
frost Is expected. 
POMEGRANATES 
The fruit is large, oval, with crimson blush 
on side exposed to the sun; juicy, and excel- 
Ient in flavor. The growth is that of a large 
shrub or small tree, very graceful in form and 
foliage, producing a profusion of strikingly 
brilliant and lovely scarlet flowers. It bears 
when young, is prolific, and the fruit possesses 
a fresh crispness, delicacy, and sprightliness 
of flavor much esteemed by many. It should 
be more generally planted.
