GROW FIGS 
in the North 
.Our “Dwarf Vig is particularly adapted to 
growing in the North, as it does well in either 
tubs or in the open ground. The root is per- 
fectly hardy. In localities where the tops freeze, 
it can be-cut to the ground, and when it begins 
growing again it will produce fruit on the new 
wood. 
We recommend open-ground planting wherever 
the growing season is long enough to grow a 
new top.and mature a crop of fruit. Where the 
season is too. short for this we recommend plant- 
ing in tubs,-so plants can be taken inside follow- 
ing the first few fall frosts and stored for the 
winter. Plants will winter safely in an ordinary 
cellar. 
Our Dwarf Fig wiil develop a crop of fruit 
farther north than any other variety,. We recom- 
mend tub culture north of Philadelphia. Plants 
bear the first year they are set out, and abun- 
dantly each ‘year thereafter. The fruit is very 
Sweet and delicious, of good size, with flesh 
that is firm and meaty, and of very fine quality

Chinese Date 
\, CHINESE DATE 
The Chinese Date (Jujube or Zizy- 
phus) is a fruit from the high interior 
of China, which, we are sure, will prove 
to be one of the most valuable for our 
country. It is adapted to a wide range 
of territory and all kinds of soil. It is 
quite hardy, the United States Depart- 
ment of Agriculture bulletins reporting 
that it has withstood temperatures of 
22 degrees below zero. 
The tree is a heavy and constant 
bearer and commences to bear at an 
early age, four-year-old trees having 
produced 150 pounds of fruit. It blooms 
very late in the spring, avoiding all 
danger from spring frosts. The fruit is 
one to two inches long, and chocolate 
colored. It is delicious when eaten 
fresh or cured like dates, and is excel- 
lent for preserves and jam. - Cooked in 
a Sugar syrup and allowed to dry it be- 
comes a most tasty and palatable con- 
fection which we believe will eventu- 
ally rival the date as a commercial 
product. Because of its productiveness 
and its highly nutritious and delicious 
fruit, capable of being used in many 
ways, it is sure to be a valuable addi- 
tion to the orchards and gardens. Only 
one tree necessary for pollination.
