WASHESBORO, VIRGINIA 15 
FIGS 
The Fig is a Southern fruit, grown only in the southern and eastern part of 
Virginia, and is not recommended for general planting north of Virginia. It is one 
of the earliest trees to bear, often producing fruit the first year after being trans- 
planted. The Fig is too well known throughout the South to require a detailed 
description. However, there are a dozen or more varieties, the Brown Turkey, 
and Everbearing being the most popular at this time, other old varieties having 
been displaced by Everbearing.

% NECTARINES 
The Nectarine is another delicious fruit too 
seldom grownin the East. Listed by some 
as a fuzzless Peach.

similar to those of the Peach, with the excep- 
tion of the fruit being smooth like a Plum. 
There are a dozen or more named varieties. 
We offer the SURE-CROP, which was im- 
ported from New Zealand by the United 
States Department of Agriculture. The fruit 
is large, bright red, and has a very pleasant 
flavor. 
The tree is hardy and productive, justifying

tender, sweet, aromatic and very good in 
quality. Ripens here in mid-August.

A very popular fruit which is seldom found 
Cherry trees as birds prefer the Mulberries, 
sparing the Cherries. Poultry raisers find 
Mulberry trees make desirable shade for 
poultry lots as well as furnish an abundance 
of fruit which poultry enjoys and thrives on. 
Many people enjoy fresh Mulberries from the 
tree; however, they are too sweet for those 
who prefer more acid fruits. The Mulberry 
is a rapid grower and annual bearer.
