SO We aim to grow all such plants and trees as will thrive in our wonderful
- elimate, and hence our list is ever growing; some plants are tried and found
wanting, which are discarded, and new ones planted; also, it happens that we
sell all of certain species and fail to obtain more stock, so that a change
occurs, making a yearly list imperative.

Our correspondents in all parts of the world send us many new plants of
value constantly, and we shall be glad to correspond with any one who may
have new fruits, rare flowers or seeds of tropical or subtropical growths to dispose of.

Our stock of trees and plants for this season is remarkably healthy and well grown, and in
extent simply enormous. An immense Citrus nursery is regularly planted every year, of incieas-
ing size; large additions to our area in lath houses have been made; a new up-to-date propagating
house of adequate size has been added to our range of glass; an ample new fern house gives us
much needed room for this important department, and our whole line of stock has been strength-
ened and added to immensely.

The nursery stock sent out is of a very high class, clean and well grown, the result of every
attention to proper soil, fertilizer, shading and moisture. Our sandy soil develops magnificent
root-growth, and customers find such stock does exceedingly well after transplanting. This is
especially true at the North, where our plants are almost without exception superior to hothouse-
grown stock, and uniformly succeed.

The orchard-house mentioned and illustrated in our 1901 catalogue seems in a fair way to be
a great success. Here we have an acre of fine soil, covered with a skeleton framework on 16-foot
walls, which has thin cloth stretched over it through the winter; tropical fruit trees of many sorts
-are growing nicely and promise a considerable fruit this season. It proves that many tender fruits
may be grown far above the “frost-line.” Those interested should see it.

Orchards of various Citrus trees, and specimens of everything likely to sueceed in this climate
are planted out for fruit or propagating purposes, and probably the greatest variety of Citrus trees
in Florida is here fruiting. Budwood for the nurseries is uniformly taken from bearing trees of
the best strain of the variety wanted, and every effort is made to build up each sort and to elimi-
nate the undesirable features it may have.

Visitors will find our premises a delight, and we are glad to weleome them every day,
except Sunday.

We here take occasion to thank our many customers for their continued patronage and the
words of commendation with which we have been favored.

We trust and hope that our Catalogue will prove a useful guide and reference book for the
purchase and selection of plants, and will gladly send additional copies to your friends.

Our Annual Catalogue is prepared during the autumn, and is ready for distribution about
Christmas. ‘’o each customer of previous months or years a copy is mailed during December or
January. If ever you fail to receive one, send a postal request, when we will at once forward one
or more copies, aS you may desire.

For those unacquainted with us, a few notes on location, etc., follow:

Location. South of the Manatee river, 4 miles from Manatee, 5 miles from Braidentown (the
county seat of Manatee county, now the banner orange-producing county of Florida), and 40 miles
south of Tampa, on the west coast of Florida.

Our climate is especially favorable for the production of fine decorative plants, as well as semi-
tropical and tropical fruit trees, and our plant*houses (both glass and lath-covered) are now the
most extensive in the Lower South devoted wholly to plant-growing.

We have prompt and efficient telephone and telegraph service. Telegrams should be addressed
to Reasoner, Braidentown, Fla. Immediately on their receipt we are informed by telephone. We
use Nurserymen’s Telegraphic Code.

Orders are promptly filled; usually the day following their receipt, and never more than three
days after, even in large, intricate orders.

By your recommendation of our stock to your friends, you will do both us and your friends a
favor, and we will be glad to send valuable plants as presents for your trouble.

This Catalogue is designed to contain the very best information about all sorts of plants and
trees (truthful descriptions, without undue praise), that it is possible to put into the limited space,
so please do not throw it lightly aside. If you are not personally interested in our stock, be so
kind as to hand it to some one who may appreciate it, and accept our grateful thanks.

We cheerfully reply to all queries, but request inquirers to ascertain first if this Catalogue does
not answer their questions. We have compiled it to meet every possible inquiry, and to save
trouble both to ourselves and our customers. Always write your questions on a postal ecard, with
spaces for reply, and whenever possible arrange the questions so that we may answer yes or no.
If a reply is desired which requires more space than a ecard affords, always enclose a stamped
envelope.

In conclusion, we wish to say that we are anxious that all stock we send out shall live and
flourish, and that all of our patrons shall be fully satisfied with their purchases. Should there be
any dissatisfaction, we wish to be promptly informed of it, so that we may be permitted to do
justice to our customers and ourselves. We wish to thank those who have favored us with their
patronage in the past, and solicit a continuance of the same in the future.

Respectfully,

REASONER BROS.

Remarks and Rules of Business 3

Remarks and Rules of Business

BETTER READ THEM—
THEY’RE LIKE THE DIRECTIONS ON A BOTTLE

USTICE to our customers as well as to ourselves requires that we should ask careful attention to
the following preliminary notes. Their appreciation will remove any occasion for misunderstand-
ing, and aid in maintaining the pleasant relations with customers so much to be desired by all
business men.

1. We use every possible precaution to prevent mistakes in the nomenclature of plants, and never
intentionally send out a plant under a wrong name; but as we are receiving seeds and plants from different
collectors all over the world, we cannot guarantee all plants true to name, as it is impossible under the cir-
cumstances. This is applicable particularly to plants of recent introduction from foreign countries.

I=" While we exercise the greatest care to have our plants true to label, and hold ourselves prepared,
on proper proof, to replace any that may prove otherwise, we do not give a warranty, express or implied,
and, in case of error on our part, it is mutually agreed between the purchaser and ourselves that we shall
not at any time be held respousible for a greater amount than was paid for them.

2. As to packing: We areconstantly improving on all systems of packing stock, whether by mail or freight,
and have materially reduced weight of boxes for express shipment, now using very thin but sufficiently
strong material. It is best, in most cases, to ship by express rather than freight, and our customers will
appreciate the lower rates now in force on all our shipments—20 per cent Jess than other goods. Trees
and plants travel safely by freight during warm weather, except certain soft-wooded or tender-foliaged
plants. We ship to all parts of the world, and in almost every case plants go through safely. No matter
where you live, we can forward stock to you safely, and will take pleasure in getting lowest rates, or other
information desired. We willuseour best judgment when forwarding stock, whether by express or freight,
working for the best interest of our customers, as to safety of delivery and least cost. Wemake no charge
for proper packing, and deliver goods to the various transportation companies free. We cannot afford to
fill orders of less amount than $1 when sent by express or freight.

3. After delivering goods to the carriers, we cannot hold ourselves responsible for any loss or injury to
- trees or plants which have been carefully packed and shipped; but we will do everything in our power, if
any loss should occur, for the protection and recovery of our customers’ property. If any mistakes are
made in filling orders, we will cheerfully rectify the same, but must respectfully request a prompt notifi-
eation, on receipt of goods.

4. Plants by mail: We send small specimens by mail to all parts of North America and West India
Islands. Our system of packing is a simple yet safe one, and we are constantly receiving testimonials
showing safe delivery in growing condition. Packages are safely sent, by Parcels Post, to Mexico and
West Indies up to 11 pounds weight. We wish it distinctly understood that we make no competition with
growers of small stock from hothouses. Soft-wooded stock, and the usual line of plants offered by north-
ern florists, are small, tiny plants, sent out in little wooden boxes. Ourstock comprises much better-sized
plants, which in almost every case, are too large to go into any of the standard mailing boxes used by florists,
compelling the use of a far different system of packing. Our success in mailing plants is phenomenal, yet
you can be sure that if any improvement is possible in forwarding plants, we will adopt it. Try our way, if
you wish plants by mail, although we urge buyers to order goods by express instead, except to most distant
Pacific coast points, as it is to their advantage in most cases. It is manifestly impossible to ship as large
specimens by mail as by express, but our selections will be found of unusually good size and in a healthy
condition.

t= Unless otherwise stated, all plants are sent postage paid, at Catalogue rates, to all points in the
United States. To Canada, Mexico, West Indies, and all foreign territories, or countries, 10 per cent (one-
ee Ee ee ee a a ee ee ee ee EE Se ee
tenth) extra must accompany each order. N order filled by mail for a less amount than 50 cents.

5. Terms strictly cash with the order. As we do business over such an immense extent of the world,
selling at low rates, it is impossible to give credit to anyone. No packages are sent C. O. D. under any
circumstances. Remittances may be made by Post Office Money Order on Oneco, Fla.; cash in Registered
Letter; Express Order, Bank Check or Draft. Money sent in unregistered letters (currency) is at the
sender’s risk, and is an unsafe way to remit. Stamps will only be accepted when properly folded in waxed
or oiled paper, to prevent sticking. Paraffine paper may be obtained cheaply at any grocery, and it is an
imposition on any firm to send stamps without this protection. Foreign Post Office Money Orders should
be drawn on Tampa, Fla. Exchange on New York or London is received at par.

6. Applying prices. Not less than 6 of a sort will be sold at the dozen rate, nor 40 at the 100 rate, nor
400 at tne 1,000 rate.

7. In ordering, please state whether substitution will be permitted, as we feel at liberty, when no instruc-
tions accompany the order, to replace with other sorts as nearly similar as possible. Those not acquainted
with the different varieties will do well to leave the selection to us, as we will send them only such as we
know to be adapted to their locality. A list of second choice, accompanying each order, would be appre-
ciated by us.

8. Special reductions. To lessen cost of delivery, by express or freight, to our customers, we will add
extra plant vaiue to every order. Cash, of course, must accompany the order. Those ordering stock to
the amount of $2 may select plants to the value of $2.25; $3, to the value of $3.40; $4, tothe value of $4.55;
$5, to the value of $5.80, and all above this amount may select 20 cents value for every dollar paid (20 per
cent reduction). This reduction will, in most cases, entirely cover the cost of de:ivery. We cannot make
any reduction on plants ordered by mail, as we pay postage in every case, thus delivering free,

4 Reasoner Bros., Oneco, Florida

Few persons outside of the nursery trade can estimate the cost of growing stock, are seldom posted as
to grading, only consider the prices, and purchase what is offered at the lowest quotation. Within the
past few years the cost of labor has increased immensely, and the quoted prices have declined at even a
greater rate, hence good stock of every description is now so low as to scarcely leave a margin of profit to
the plant-grower. All discriminating purchasers will concede that our prices are very low for the excellent
quality of stock produced.

This present Catalogue abrogates all previous terms, conditions and prices. Dealers, or others desiring
to buy in quantity, will be given special prices for large lots, on application.

COLLECTIONS OF PLANTS

See end of each department in this Catalogue for bargain lists. We make up valuable collections of
choice plants at a very low price, and have given satisfaction and pleasure to hundreds of customers. If
you don’t know just what you want, let us select for you. We know what will thrive with you, and ean
choose from good-sized plants, which are bound to more than please you. Try them.

TREATMENT OF PLANTS ON ARRIVAL

The Plants should be removed from the package as soon as possible after they reach their destination.
Should they be in the least wilted, they should be placed in a shallow pan of lukewarm water, with the
packing moss still about the roots, and in half an hour they will be ready to pot. This treatment will
increase vitality and vigor, whether they be wilted or not. Large trees and shrubs from open ground may
be simply “heeled-in ” on the shady side of a building, the roots well watered, and if not set permanently
for a week afterward, they will be all the better for it.

Setting. It is, of course, understood that the soil has been made in proper condition by digging,
manuring, etc., and plants and trees can be set in their proper spaces at once. If plants are from pots, let
them be set a little deeper than before; if soil is still around the roots, set without disturbing or removing
it. Don’t try to straighten out the roots of pot-grown plants! Plants or trees from open ground should be
pruned, if necessary, and roots looked over and broken ends trimmed smooth. After setting, draw soil
around and firm down thoroughly by tramping with the feet. Then water well, after which rake fresh soil
about, shade if necessary, and mulch with straw or like material. The plant may not be stocky, so if it
needs a stake, do not forget to tie it thoroughly to the support given. When it is necessary to water plants
outdoors, give them enough to soak down to moist soil; every five days should be often enough.

Potting. At first, while plants are small, use pots one size larger than they were last removed from.
As they increase in size, they should be repotted when it is found that the pots are full of roots. This is
best done when the plant has made its annual growth, and just before it starts afresh. Inusing small pots,
it is only necessary to use a small piece of broken pot over the hole in the bottom, but when the size runs
up to 5- or 6-iuch, several pieces of pots, some pebbles or pieces of charcoal should be put in, that it may
have ample drainage. Fill the pots with earth and plant, leaving about half an inch to an inch space to
hold the water; water thoroughly, and place the plants in a sheltered position, where they will not be
exposed to wind or sun, until they show signs of recuperation.

Watering. This is one of the most important points in the successful cultivation of all plants. During
the growing season they should have enough water to keep the soil moist to the bottom of the pot, but
should not be kept in a soggy state; plenty may be applied to the foliage at all times. During the winter
the soil should be kept drier, and in some cases nearly or quite dry. A plant will generally show when it
needs water, and more are killed by overwatering than through lack of it.

* MISCELLANEOUS SUGGESTIONS

In setting out pot-plants into open ground, remember to set the ball of earth and roots much deeper
than the surface; this will put the roots in moist earth, and they will “take hold” quickly. Don’t try to
straighten out such roots, but simply let them stay intact. Pot-plants grown in stiff, clay soil should have
the clay washed off before setting in sandy or loamy soil.

As to time to order: We ship plants every week of the year. Pot-grown stock may be safely sent any
time, and a great deal of open-air stuff also. We strongly recommend transplanting and shipping tropical
stock during warm weather, no matter where the purchaser may live.

Citrus Trees are best handled during October, November and December. By setting then they will be
established before the dry season comes, and hence save care and watering. Their future growth will be
stronger and healthier than if set in the spring, or heat of summer.

Deciduous stock is best set in late autumn or winter. See notes about this matter at ends of each
department of this Catalogue.

During Spring, Summer, and Autumn we can send Jarge shipments by freight, but in cold, freezing winter
weather express only would be safe. By mail we send to Southern points all the year, but to extreme
Northern places, plants should not be posted in winter.

Remember to keep the temperature of the conservatory or the room devoted to plants at an average
degree of warmth, and as moist as possible. Avoid extremes, or drafts of cold air.

Plants infested with insects, if in pots and not too large, are easily and safely cleaned by holding them
ten seconds in warm water. Quick-growing or succulent-leaved plants should be immersed in water at
125° to 130°. Those with tough leaves, like palms, orange trees, and kindred subjects, should be immersed
in water from 130° to 140°. This kills all insect life if thoroughly done. Large plants only slightly
infested may be hand-cleaned by using a small, stiff brush. If the insects are too numerous for this,
recourse must be had to fumigation, or to spraying. Every one interested in horticulture should possess a
copy of Prof. Bailey’s “Horticulturist’s Rule Book,” published by The Macmillan Co. (procurable at any
book store), in which may be found all needful information as to insecticides, fungicides, plant-diseases,
and a great amount of useful knowledge abont plants, trees, ete. We recommend to every plant-grower a
thorough perusal of at least one good gardening paper or magazine.

Please do not order stock not listed by us,

Tropical Fruit Plants and Trees

In this section will be found only plants that are strictly tropical, and which are injured by frost.
Some of them, being more vigorous than others, very readily grow again into bearing size if frozen.
Among these may be especially mentioned Guavas, Pineapples, Bananas and Avocado Pears, all of which
are grown far above the “frost line,” being able to withstand considerable white frost, but no hard freezing.

Explanation of ‘‘ starring’’ in this section:

servatories, or under lath-protected plant sheds, in Floridaand California.

* *, Suitable for warmest por-
* * *, Suitable for growing in the lake

(<= All sorts named are, of course, suited to frostless regions.

ABERIA Caffra.* Kai-AppuLe of Natal. “This
tall shrub serves for hedges. The rather large
fruits are edible, and can be converted into pre-
serves.”— Von Mueller. Fine pot-plants, 35 cts.
each, $3.50 per doz.

A. Gardneri.* This fruit plant came from Cey-
lon in 1901. We find it a very vigorous grower. A
shrub, likely to bear some frost as will A. Caffra.
Strong pot-plants, 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz.

ACHRAS sapota.* The SapopiLua. A broad-
leaved evergreen from the West Indies, reaching 10
to 15 feet in height. Bears when rather small, and
is adapted to pot culture. The fruit can be likened
to a rich russet apple in size and appearance, but
has a sweet flavor. Fine, large plants in 4-inch
pots, 18 to 24 inches high, 35 cts. each, $3.50 per
doz.; smaller, 20 cts. each, $2 per doz.

ANACARDIUM occidentale.* The CASHEW
Nut. A very curious fruit (having the seed on one
end outside of the fieshy part), which is sometimes

called Cashew Apple, and varies in size from 1 to 3
inches in diameter; white, red or yellow in color.
It is acid and eatable. The seed or nut is roasted
for food; also used for various purposes, as flavor-
ing wine, chocolate, ete. Pot-plants, 35 cts. each.

ANANASSA sativa.* PINEAPPLE. This fruit
is now assuming a very important share of horti-
cultural work in Florida, and is already grown in
immense quantity. There is money in the growth
of good fruit, and Pineapple-growing promises a
sure pecuniary reward to careful planters. This
plant is especially adapted to growth under glass,
as it requires little space, and fruits in from one to
two years from planting. We can supply limited
numbers of plants at all times, but the majority of
plants are ready in August and September, and
should then be set. Large lots should be en-
gaged previously. Suckers are largest plants, which
will bear usually about a year after planting. Slips
are the main source of supply in most varieties, and
bear eighteen months or two years from planting.

Reasoner Bros.

ANANASSA sativa, continued.

Crowns are on top of the fruit and not available in
quantity. Crownlets are like very small slips, usu-
ally planted in the nursery awhile till size of slips.
We quote both suckers and slips where available.
Write for price per thousand.

Abbaka. Very popular and prolific; large size,
rich, juicy fruit; moderately good shipper. Plant
grows very large. Slips, 5 cts. each, 50 cts. per doz.,
$2.50 per 100.
$5 per 100.

Egyptian Queen. A favorite sort for home use,
being rich and sweet, and easily grown. Produces
many slips and suckers. Medium size; yellow flesh;
plant rather small and one of the best for growing
under glass. 5
per 100.
$4 per 100.

Green Ceylon.
the Red Ceylon, were introduced by a South Florida
grower some years ago from Ceylon. They have
many superior points: vigor, hardiness, winter-
bearing—said to be equal to Smooth Cayenne.
Fruit of both sorts ships equally as well as Red
Spanish. When ripe, the Green Ceylon turns to a
light orange color; flesh melting and soft, with
small core. The fruit is “square-shouldered,” be-
ing as thick at the top as at base, and averaging
larger than Red Spanish. Slips, 35 cts. each, $3 per
doz., $20 per 100.

Porto Rico (Trinidad). The largest sort grown
commercially, frequently reaching ten to twelve
pounds each. Light flesh, very juicy, fair flavor.
Always in demand for a show fruit. Suckers, or
large rooted slips, 20 cts. each, $1.40 per doz., $10
per 100.

Red Ceylon. (See Green Ceylon for partial de-
scription.) This new variety has a brilliant bud and
the fruit is a dark reddish orange color; flesh darker
than Green Ceylon, and of delicious flavor. Fruit
is freely borne during the winter, and hence valu-
able; shape of fruit somewhat like a barrel. Both
of these new varieties are very distinct, and have
proved best shippers. Slips, 40 cts. each, $3.50 per
doz., $22 per 100.

Red Spanish. The ordinary common sort, ship-
ped everywhere, and well known. If shipped green
is poor, but well-grown and left to ripen on the
plant, is a fair sort of easiest culture. Slips, 5 cts.
each, 30 cts. per doz., $1.50 per 100. Suckers, 15 cts.
each, 40 cts. per doz., $3 per 100.

Smooth Cayenne. This is a favorite sort, with-
out spines on the leaves, and is thus easily handled.
Fruit large and exceedingly fine, yet a good ship-
per. Suckers, 15 ctx. each, $1.25 per duoz., $8 per
100; slips, 10 ets. each, 85 cts. per doz., $6 per
100.

Sugar-Loaf. Small to medium fruits; late ripen-
ing; flesh rich and sweet. Slips only, 5 ets. each,
35 ets. per doz., $2 per 100.

Variegated Smooth Cayenne. Both
mental and useful. Strong plants, $1 each.

(<s-Pine suckers will only be sent by mail at
single rates; Slips at single or dozen rates.

Anona muricata.

A. squamosa.* SuGAR APPLE, or SWEET SOP.
The best known of all Anonas, and the earliest to
bear from the seed. Fruits small but good, easily
produced in South Florida and California with the
slightest protection from frost. The fruits resemble
miniature pineapples, minus the crowns. 20 ets.
each, $2 per doz.

CARICA papaya.* Papaw, or MELON PAPAw.
A magnificent plant, after the style of the well-
known castor-bean, having 7-lobed leaves, palmate
and terminal like a palm. This plant is dicecious,
and it is impossible to select the female from the
male seedlings until they bloom. We have seen a
tree, apparently a male, but full of fruit! The
fruit is from 6 to 12 inches long and 4 or more
inches thick, somewhat like a muskmelon. Green
fruit is cooked like aturnip. The juice of the fruit,
or the macerated leaves, if rubbed on animal flesh,
make it very tender. It is best to roll the meat and
leaves together for a few hours. Pot-plants, 20 ets.
each, $2 per doz.

CARISSA acuminata.* <A small-leaved ever-
green shrub, said to bear pleasant subacid fruits,
from Natal. Will stand some frost, as will also the
next species. Both species make fine thorny hedges.
50 ets. each.

C. Arduina.* AMATUNGULA, or MARITZGULA of
Natal. A choice evergreen shrub, rather hardy,
with thick, camellia-like leaves; very glossy. Flow-
ers are large, fragrant, white, and borne profusely.
The fruit is dark red, 1 to 1% inches long, resem-
bling in flavor red raspberries, and having a papery
skin and a few small seeds. A fine pot shrub. Well
worthy extensive planting in South Florida and
California. The English pronounce it unsurpassed
for jam making. Good pot-plants, 40 ets. each, $4
per doz.

CASIMIROA edulis.* Wuite Sapora of Mexico
and Central America. The fruits are about the size
of a Mandarin orange, and of a delicious peach-like
taste. Undoubtedly will thrive in Sonth Florida. A
good subject for growth under the fruit sheds now
becoming common. Pot-grown plants, from the
finest selected fruit, 30 ets. each, $3 per doz.

CHRYSOBOLANUS Icaco.* The Cocoa PLUM.
A very ornamental evergreen, with glossy leaves. It
makes a large shrub and bears a profusion of pink
or white fruits of an agreeable taste. The combina-
tion of fruit and foliage is beautiful. Pot-plants,
25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.

CHRYSOPHYLLUM Cainito.* * Star APPLE.
A handsome tree, 15 to 25 feet high, evergreen,
bearing fruits 2% to3 inches in diameter, of pecu-
liar though agreeable flavor. Leaves are pointed,
4 or 5inches long, dark green above, silvery brown
beneath, and very handsome. Fruits are purple or
green. Fine plants, pot-grown, 1 year old, 10 cts.
each, $1 per doz. Larger specimens, 25 cts. each,
$2.50 per doz. Best from 6-inch pots, bushy, 40 cts.
each, $4 per doz.

Giant Star-Apple. Selected from fruit grown in
Jamaica. Pot-plants, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.

CICCA disticha.* The OTAHEITE GOOSEBERRY.
A beautiful tree, bearing quantities of waxy-white
berries about the size of grapes, growing in clusters
like a currant, or seagrape, and having a sharp acid
taste. They ripen in midsummer at the time of
searcity of acid fruits in the tropics, and are very
useful in tarts, preserves, ete. Deserving of culti-
vation solely as an ornament. The graceful pinnate
leaves, a foot or more in length, with a faint tinge
of wine-color on the new growth, the long racemes
of waxy berries hanging directly from the large
limbs and branches, and the whole tree impressing,
are as strangely tropical. Nice pot-plants, 25 cts.
each, $2.50 per doz.

with wine and sugar or sugar and cream, and also
makes a delicious canned preserve. Strong, pot-
grown, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.

MANCIFERA Indica.* Manco. One of the
most delicious and valuable of Indian fruits; this
has proved adapted to our sandy soil, and does re-
markably well. Hard freezes, of course, will kill
the tree back to the roots, when the trunk should be
cut back at once to sound, live wood. There is a
possibility of an, occasional cold winter only, and we
advise their planting on well-protected lands all
over South Florida. The best soil is high, well-
drained, sandy land, suitable for the orange, but
this tree thrives on black-jack, scrub, and spruce-
pine lands, where most other trees are a failure.
Any good fertilizer will make the tree grow, but for
fruiting use plenty of ashes or sulphate of potash
besides the usual manure. The tree is very hand-
some, having long, linear leaves six or more inches
in length, with wine-colored new growth. Flowers
are produced in spring at ends of the branches, in-
conspicuously, and the fruit is produced on healthy
trees in great abundance. It is a tree quite easily
fruited under glass or other plant houses, either in
tubs or the open ground. The calture is so easy,
and the fine varieties we offer are so very desirable,
that we hope no South Florida home will be with-
out Mango trees. The following are excellent sorts,
grown from selected seed. (They do not always
come true from seed.)

Cole. From Jamaica. Nearly round, averaging
3 inches long. “It has a peculiar, spicy flavor, dis-
tinct from any Mango I ever tasted.” Very good.
Pot-grown, strong, 30 cts. and 50 cts. each.

Common. Selected from the best fruits. Large,
kidney-shaped, green, usually with red cheek and
yellowish flesh; delicious. One of the best for can-

pineapple and banana, but better than either.” Diffi-

Pot-plants, $1.25 each.

MUSA. The BANANA. This is one of the grand-
est decorative fruit plants known. A plant that is
grown throughout the tropics, bearing in lavish pro-
fusion most delicious fruit. At the present day the
fruit is found in nearly every market in the world,
no matter, seemingly, how distant from the tropics.
The plant is already being grown toa limited degree
in northern climates, and well it may, as it is as
easily raised as the well-known canna, and the
tropical effect of its growth is remarkably grand.
With leaves often 2 feet wide and 8 feet long, it is
destined to be largely planted on lawns. Young
plants may be started at any season of the year,
provided they are kept in sufficient heat—say not
less than 70° by day, and 60° or 65° by night. The
best time, however, is early spring, when they
should be started in pots, and then, when warm

but little chilling; smaller than other sorts; can be
protected readily. Best for low greenhouses or
plant sheds. Fruit small, immense bunches, yellow.

FINGER. Of moderate size, stalks and midribs
tinged red, and stands considerable cold—not actual
freezing, but lowtemperature. If leaves are frosted
off, only the stalk usually survives, and continues
growing afterward. Fruit is a clear yellow; skin
soft and thin; fiesh firm, yet melting and buttery in
texture, with unsurpassed fruity flavor. A first-class
sort, and in demand. Strong suckers, 25 cts. each,
$2 per doz., $15 per 100.

I received your plants today in excellent condition, and will let you know in the autumn how they succeed.—Mrs. (,
KRUIJTBOSCH, Kampen, Holland, May, 1901.

* * * Except Spondias dulcis that would not grow, they all did well and have grown beautifully. They are all of them
nice, healthy little plants now, and I have just put them in winter quarters. The Mangoes, Anonas, Guavas and Citrus
I know will succeed, as I have large plants of Anona Cherimolia, Chinese Guava and several Citrus that have grown into
fine specimen trees. Guava and Citrus bloom and fruit every year, and it is a beautiful sight to see them covered with
their fragrant blossoms and nice fruit. I do not understand why so few northern people are trying tropical fruits.—

Semt-Tropical and Temperate Fruit
Trees and Plants

Soil for Citrus trees must be of a sandy, or porous friable nature, for best success. For growing these
trees in pots the soil must conform to above description, and should not be too highly manured. Naturally
rich well-worked soil, with a slight addition of thoroughly decayed cow manure, will make a satisfactory
growth. The drainage nrust be perfect, so that water will freely pass through the soil. In potting trees
(ours are all grown in the open ground, but have a mass of fine fibrous roots), it is only necessary to crowd
roots into as small a pot as possible, ram down the soil and water well, to insure safe transplanting. We
prune every tree properly before packing.

Commercial (or concentrated) fertilizers in general must be very carefully and lightly applied, and we
advise extreme caution in using them for all pot-plants.

produced as other Citrus fruits. They are especially
adapted for growth under glass, and are easily
dwarfed by working on the trifoliata stock. Prices
(except Oneco), same as for sweet orange.

China. WiLLow-LEAVED MANDARIN. Small, yel-
low-skinned, very sweet and good. The oldest
known sort. Prolific, and a good grower. On tri-
foliata and mandarin seedling roots.

Dancy Tangierine. Larger than China; orange-
red skin; fruit of best quality, not very seedy. On
rough lemon, trifoliata and sour orange.

Cleopatra. Smallest-sized fruit and most seedy
variety, but yet of excellent flavor, having the aroma
of ripe raspberries. It is very late in ripening, and
should not be eaten till spring. Most profuse bearer,
and especially fine for a house plant, doing well in
apotortub. On trifoliata only.

King. A very large and late mandarin of excep-
tional value. It may be shipped as late as May 1.
The fruit is reddish orange in color, rough-skinned,
delicious flavored pulp. Grown on rough lemon and

sour orange.

Oneco. Our new hybrid novelty. The growth

——— and foliage somewhat resembles the
Dancy Tangierine. Has proved exceptionally hardy
here, and we consider it the most hardy of all our
Citrus fruits. The fruit is somewhat larger and not
so flat as China, but is almost identical in flavor, and

has but half the quantity of seeds of this old variety.
We deem it of sterling value, and a most promising
ew sort, of very vigorous habit. Ripens January
to March. See photographic picture on page 11.

common Mandarin, and superior in every respect. * * *
We will have drawings and descriptions made from the
other specimen.” * * *

G. B. BRACKETT, Pomologist.

HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan. 24, 1900.
As yet the writer has only got inside the smaller
and imperfect specimen. It was of exquisite flavor.
J. HORACE MCFARLAND, Hort. Printer.

GLEN ST. MARY, FLA., Jan. 19, 1900.
“The sample of Oneco Mandarin sent me has arrived
and been sampled. It is of full, medium size for the Man-
darin type. The color of skin is red, like Tangierine, and
it also possesses a decided Tangierine aroma, although this
is not so distinct as in Dancy Tangierine. The fruit is of
good quality, and reminds one of Satsuma, Tangierine and
King blended. It is very much superior to the China.”
G. L. TABER,
President Fla. Hort. Society.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA., Jan. 26, 1900.
(In issue of Farmer and Fruit- Grower.)

“In physical characteristics, color, size, corrugated
(though glossy ) peel, the sample partook more of the Tan-
gierine in the blending; but in juice characteristics we
think it inclined to the Mandarin. Taken as a whole. it
(Oneco Mandarin) is a grand fruit; it recalls the tradi-
tions of the unsurpassable Florida Orange in the days of
the famous triumvirate, Hart, Phelps and Hubbard.”

S. PowErs, £ditor.

OVIEDO, FuA., Dec. 27, 1899.

* * * “Mrs. Mead and I sampled the Oneco hybrid
Mandarin, and agree that it is delicious, and an improve-
ment on the sorts we are familiar with, especially in its
juiciness and melting quality, most Mandarins and Tan-
gierines being inclined to ‘rag’ even when the septa are
removed before eating the pulp.”

Satsuma. From Japan, where it is called Un-
shiu. Tree very low in habit, and having peculiar
large leaves with prominent veins. Fruit is of fair
quality and very early, which makes it valuable for
market; rather dark orange skin, rough; nearly
seedless flesh, with very silky divisions. The tree
grown on trifoliata stock is very hardy and is spe-
cially recommended with the Oneco for the Gulf
states. On sweet and trifoliata.

CITRUS Japonica.* ** E. Kutumaguat, or KIN
Ikan of Japan. A small fruit about 34 to 1 inch in
diameter, much used by the orientals for presery-
ing; this has grown to be very popular, and the
fruit has brought high prices wherever offered.
The tree is a pretty foliaged one, dwarf in habit.

CITRUS limonum.*** E. Lemon. Of the great
number of good varieties, we consider the following
unexcelled. We grow them from cuttings, and also
bud on rough lemon stocks.

Genoa. As fine a Lemon as is grown anywhere.
In California this sort is called Eureka. A fine
plant for the house, as the Lemon bears abundantly
in a small size, and can be fruited quickly. Flow-
ers are pinkish white, scented and handsome. Price.
on rough lemon stock, same as sweet orange.
Prices, on own roots, from cuttings which are spe-
cially desirable for pots or tubs, 10 to 18 inches high,
bushy, 20 cts. each, $2 per doz.; 2 feet high, 30 ects.
each, $3 per doz.; 3 feet or over, 40 cts. each, $4
per doz.

Sour Rangpur Lime.

CITRUS limetta.*** E. The Lime. Fruit
usually acid, like the lemon.
Sour Rangpur. The MANDARIN Lime, Resem-

bles a mandarin closely, and has loosely adherent
sections and skin. Fruit has the finest acid and a
fine flavor, entirely distinct from any other Lime.
Color of skin orange-red, like the Dancy Tangierine.
Tree resembles in growth the rough lemon. Is
hardier than common Limes, and may be grown as
far north as the lemon, or some sweet oranges. On
trifoliata only, same prices as sweet oranges (see
page 11).

CITRUS medica cedra.*** E. CITRON.
Widely known over the whole earth as a preserve.
The fruits are large, from two to five pounds in
weight, with a very thick inner skin. This is the
part which is preserved.

Corsican Citron. Imported from Corsica by the
Department of Agriculture. This is claimed to be
the particular sort from which the finest imported
Citron peelis made. Budded low on seedling man-
darin, and also crown-grafted on common citron;
same prices as for sweet orange on rough Jemon
stock.

CITRUS pomelanus (Decumana).** FE. Pom-
ELO, or GRAPE-FRuIT. This latter name was given
it from its habit of bearing in large clusters. A
most delicious fruit, rapidly being known in all
markets. Fruit in most cases much larger than
oranges, pale yellow, and having slightly bitter
pulp. Extremely wholesome. On a warm day, a
Pomelo nicely cooled, cut in two crosswise with a
sharp knife, liberally sprinkled with white sugar,
and eaten with a svoon, is very acceptable to most
palates. Prices same as sweet orange trees. See
page 11.

Pernambuco. A fine late sort from South
America. Good grower; heavy bearer, with short
thorns. Medium to large size. The finest general
market sort we have seen. On rough lemon and
trifoliata.

Royal. Fruit small to medium, with little of the
bitter taste, hence can be eaten out of hand.
Moderately early to ripen. Fine grower and good
bearer. Trees on sour orange and trifoliata.

Marsh. (Seedless.) Practically a seedless
medium size, average quality. On sour
orange stock.

14 Reasoner Bros., Oneco, Florida

CITRUS pomelanus, continued.

Tresca. This is a beautiful variety from the Ba-
hamas, having rose-colored pulp, and destined to
prove a great market fruit. It is a handsome-grow-
ing variety and a fair bearer. Quality is very fine.
Trees on rough lemon only.

CITRUS trifoliata.* D. The hardy Japanese
citrus, which has proved to be a valuable stock for
fine orange and other citrus. Is an excellent hedge
tree; dwarf and very thorny. Should be grown on
goou soil, 2 feet apart in the hedge. Deciduous, the
stems remaining for years vivid green, and holding
its yellow wrinkled fruit on for a long time; itis a
pretty object in the late autumn and winter. Flow-
ers are large and white, but thin and with no stems,
being borne in profusion along the twig much like
crab apple blossoms,and appearing before the leaves,
usually. The tree is hardy as far north as Ten-
nessee, and perhaps farther. Will stand much
drought. 3-year-old seedlings, 12 to 18 inches high,
10 cts. each, $1 per doz., $7 per 100; 18 to 36 inches,
15 ets. each, $1.25 per doz., $10 per 100.

ttas- When Citrus trees are ordered sent by mail, we
select smaller trees than for express or freight, but of good
size and well rooted. Wecan please you in these trees,
whether you live in Washington or Maine, as they travel
safely under our sure mode of packing.

DIOSPYROS Kaki.* D. JAPAN PERSIMMON.
A hardy deciduous tree of small size, bearing quau-
tities of pointed or tomato-shaped fruits, usually
red or orange in color, ripening during the autumn.
The early sorts commence ripening in September,
and the late ones may be gathered and kept indoors
till January. The flavor is somewhat like that of a
fig, and also like that of the apricot, and is delicious.
As a market fruit, it is beginning to get quite prom-
inent. The Japanese and Chinese dry this fruit, in
which state it is considered as fine as the fig. They
are all grafted on the native Virginia Persimmon,
and have fair roots. Should be set in December and
January here

Hyakume. Very large and somewhat flattened at
the ends; flesh dark, crisp and meaty; keeps well,
and tree is very prolific. The fruits vary, and oc-
casionally one is noticed with a pointed end.

Triumph. “Medium; tomato-shaped; skin yel-
low; flesh yellow; generally has a few seeds; very
productive; quality of the best. Commences to
ripen in September, and continues till November.”

Yeddo-ichi. Large, oblate, with slight depres-
sion at flower end. Skin dark-red; flesh dark and
seedy; quality rich. A good bearer.

Yemon. Large, flat, tomato-shaped, somewhat
four-sided; flesh yellow and usually seedless; qual-
ity very fine. <A favorite sort.

The other sorts must be as soft as jelly before eating.

4@-Trees are not mailable. Price for standards, 4
feet, 30 cts. each, $3 per doz., $25 per 100.

D. Lotus.* European Lotus, or Date PLUM.
A medium sized tree (hardy), bearing yellow sweet
fruits, the size of cherries. They are somewhat as-
tringent. Small plants, 40 cts.

ERIOBOTRYA Japonica.** E. Logvar, or
MEDLAR, or “JAPAN PLuM.” A most valuable win-
ter and spring-ripening fruit; yellow, with a very
agreeable plum flavor. The tree is a magnificent-
foliaged evergreen, bearing usually three crops of
flowers (scented) and fruit during the season. It
reaches a height of about fifteen feet, and should be
planted in well-drained soil, and never plowed; a
light hoeing and mulching are best. Thisis agrand
house-plant, as it resists drought, dust, gas, ete.,
and forms a fine little tree quickly. Fine 1-year-old,
10 cts. each, $1 per.doz., $7 per 100; 2-year-old,
15 ets. each, $1.50 per doz. Larger, older stock, 2
to 5 feet high, 20 cts. to 50 cts. each, $2 to $5 per doz.

Eugenia Micheli.
EUCENIA Micheli.* ** E. SurRiInNAM CHERRY,

or CAYENNE CHERRY. This is a valuable shrub
for Florida and South California, as it withstands

| considerable frost, and produces quantities of lus-

cious, cherry-like fruits, about an inch in diameter,
or larger, bright red, agreeably acid. Makes the
finest jelly. The shrub is evergreen, with glossy
leaves, and is a handsome pot shrub, bearing in a
small size readily. A good house-plant. For open-
air growing, the plants may be set 6 or 8 feet apart.
We have a large stock of pot-grown plants, and
offer them very low. 15 to 18 inches high, 20 cts.

each, $2 per doz.; 18 to 30 in., 30c. each, $3 per doz.

FICUS Carica.* D. The Fic. This is one of
the most delicious and healthful fruits that can be
grown in the South, but is sadly neglected. Will
give best results in a dry and rich location. Fer-
tilize liberally with ashes or potash, to avoid attacks
of the root-knot. In transplanting, see that suffi-
cient top and roots are pruned; the top should be
cut almost to the ground (leave 6 inches or a foot of
stem), and the fibrous roots shortened-in closely.
Treated this way, it will invariably grow off well.

Blue. Large-sized, purplish fruit; shy bearer,
and but fair quality. A good sort for canning, be-
ing very handsome.

Lemon. White, with pinkish pulp.

excellent roots, 2 years old, strong, 20 cts. each, $2
per doz. (unmailable). 3 years old, 30 cts. each,
$3 per\doz.

Stuart. Grafted on seedling Pecan. This is
what we consider the very best; nuts very large,
rather short, thin-shelled, with a sweet rich meat.
Heavy stock, $1 each, $10 per doz.

Columbian. Splendid quality of meat in larger
and longer nuts than Stuart. Is very fine. Grafts
on Pecan seedlings, $1 each, $10 per doz.

HOVENIA dulcis.* D. This makes a small
round-headed tree, which bears small globular fruits
on reddish, fleshy and edible peduncles. Will grow
all along the Gulf coast. Small plants, pot-grown,
25 cts. each.

MORUS alba, var.* D. The MULBERRY.

Chinese. The earliest sort to ripen, and of ex-
cellent quality. Fruit medium size, borne in great
profusion. A splendid sort for poultry, hogs or
silk-worms; very vigorous. Small, 1 year from
cuttings, 10 ets. each; $1 per doz.

French. A magnificent variety, with large, hand-
some leaves; tree of large size and good form, mak-
ing a fine street or shade tree. Fruit of large size,
best quality, late to ripen, and lasting several
weeks. It ripens after the Chinese has gone,
lengthening out the season through two or three
months. Very heavy bearer. Small, l-year, from
cuttings, 10 cts. each, $1 per doz.

MYRTUS tomentosus.*** E. Downy Myr-
TLE. An Indian shrub; evergreen, with fine, broad,
glossy leaves of great beauty. Flowers, borne
through several weeks in greatest abundance, are a
lovely shade of pink, and larger than those of the
peach. They resemble small, single roses. “The
fruit is small, with a raspberry flavor, produced in
quantity, and ripens for weeks, commencing in late
summer. Reaches a height of six or more feet.
Nice pot-plants, 25 ets. each, $2.50 per doz.

OLEA Europza.** E. OLive. The Olive is so
well known that we do not need to describe it,
further than to say that it is hardy over the Lower
South, and is a handsome evergreen, bushy tree,
with gray-green leaves. It has not borne much
fruit as yet in Florida, although doing well in South
Georgia and along the Gulf coast. The tree grows
thriftily in any soil not too wet. Evidently the tree
needs lime and potash to make it bear. Hardier
than the sweet orange.

Manzanillo. A sort greatly prized in California,
and considered one of the best for pickling. Good
trees, 40 cts. each, $4 per doz.

Nevadillo Blanco. Spanish variety, especially
valuable for oil, although good for pickling also.
Fruit broad and ovate, an inch long. Good trees,
25 ets. each, $2.50 per doz.; larger, 40 cts. each, $4
per doz.

OPUNTIA Ficus Indica.** E. INpIAN FIG
Cactus, resembling the common “Prickly Pear,”
but with scarcely any thorns, and of an enormous
size. The plant is frequently 8 to 10 feet high, and
bears quantities of oblong fruits, lemon colored, of a
pleasant acid taste. These odd fruits have a piquant
flavor and are in demand in some sections. Large
cuttings, 30 cts. each.

O. tuna.** E. Tuna Cactus, a giant “Prickly
Pear,” with intensely rich purplish red fruits. Fruit
is used for adding color to various jellies. The
Cactus itself, after having the spines singed off, is
fed to cattle in dry parts of Mexico and elsewhere.
Yellow flowers, 3 inches across, are very pretty.
Strong cuttings, 15 cts. each.

PRUNUS triflora.* D. ORIENTAL PLUM, This
strain of fine Plums is working a revolution in Plum
culture in the South. With a proper selection, fruit
may be gathered from June to September. Trees

should be set from November till February. In
extreme South Florida these do not bear well, but
grow well on good dry soil. Along the Gulf and up
the Ohio river these are the coming fruits.

Abundance. Large, round, pointed apex; skin
yellow, washed carmine and purple; flesh yellow, of
apricot flavor. Largely planted. June 15 to July 5.

Burbank. Smaller fruit than Kelsey; color
cherry-red; flesh deep yellow, firm and meaty;
clingstone. Maturity middle to last of July.

Excelsior. This is a seedling of the Kelsey;
fruit large, round, 1% inches in diameter; color
reddish purple, with heavy blue bloom; very melt-
ing and of best quality. This has succeeded better
in South Florida than any other sort. Ripens early
in June.

Kelsey. The oldest and best known sort, ripen-
ing quite late, from July 15 to end of August. Fruit
large, greenish yellow; pit small. A heavy bearer,
and one of the best; excellent for drying.

Wickson. A grand new sort originated by Luther
Burbank, of California. Fruit very large, waxy-
white when half grown, when the color changes to
pink and finally to dark purple. Flesh firm, yellow,
juicy, high-flavored. Clingstone. Quality best.

5 feet, very fine, 25 cts. each, $2 per doz., $15 per
100 (not mailable).

PRUNUS Persica.* D. The PEAcH. The Per-
sian type does not succeed in Florida, but from the
more newly introduced Chinese varieties general
success is had. The Peach delights in rich, well-
drained soil, and in constant cultivation during the
growing season. The following are the best for
Florida:

Angel. Large; skin yellow, washed with red;
flesh white and of exquisite flavor, entirely free of
noyau flavor. Ripens in June.

Hall’s Yellow. A new Peach, originating from
Angel, in Volusia county. “It is afreestone Peach;
ripens and is off the trees before the Angel is gone.
In quality, size and attractiveness equal to Elberta.
Trees are vigorous and especially adapted to cen-
tral and south Florida.” Price, medium size, 3 to 4
feet, 20 cts. each, $2 per doz

Jewel. Almost identical with Waldo, but ripens
a week or ten days earlier. Very favorable reports
have heen received from growers of this fruit dur-
ing the past season. A fine acquisition for market.

Peen-to. Flat Peach of China. The pioneer of
this strain of Peach, and delicious in quality if well

grown. If not fertilized properly, or if attacked by
root-knot, the fruit is quite bitter. Ripens very
early,

Red Ceylon. Our introduction from Ceylon, A
fair-sized fruit, blood-red around the pit; skin
greenish, with a red overcast; a perfect freestone,
with fine acid flavor, making it the best of all for
cooking and canning. It is excellent for the table
when dead ripe. Bears tremendously, and never
has a touch of noyau flavor, Early.

Waldo. An early Peach, supposed to be a hybrid
of Peen-to,and Honey. Medium size, handsome and
best quality; freestone. Ripens with Peen-to.

doz., $10 per 100; 2 to 3 feet, 15 cts. each, $I per doz.,
$8 per 100. Latter size can be mailed at single rate.

PYRUS communis.* D. The PEAR. The only
sorts of Pears which area success in South Florida
are the following:

Cincincis. New. A Sand Pear about the same
type as Kieffer. Very large size, rough appearance;
quality much like Kieffer. This originated in South
Florida, and is said to succeed farther South than
other sorts.

Le Conte. Matures in July and August. Tree
never bears before 5 years of age. Fruit medium to
large; yellowflesh. If gathered just before turning
yellow on the tree, and ripened in a dark room, it is
of splendid flavor, juicy and delicious. Quality is
impaired by leaving on tree too long.

Kieffer. Bears young and very abundantly;
fruits are large and do not get soft to be eatable out
of hand in Florida. Fine for cooking in every form.
Lasts for many weeks. Ripens late.

Cattley Guava.

PSIDIUM Cattleyanum.*** E. CATTLEY
GuUAVA. This is a quite hardy species, with beauti-
ful camellia-like, glossy leaves, evergreen, and pro-
ducing immense quantities of red, acid fruits, aver-
aging aninchthick. Makes very fine jelly. Should
be set about 6 or 8 feet apart in open ground in
South Florida and California, or along the Gulf
coast, in protected places. We have very fine
plants, pot-grown, the larger sizes of which will bear
next year (a few this year). 1-year, 6 to 12 inches

high, 10 ets. each, 85 cts. per doz., $7 per 100;
2-year, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100.

P. lucidum.* ** E. The hardy YELLow, or
CHINESE GUAVA. A fruit resembling the Cattley,
except that it is yellow and sweeter. Bush is not so
tallin growth, but has almost as handsome leaves.
Both species bear abundantly, and are fine plants
for pot culture. Will thrive in poor soil and is one
of the most satisfactory grown; yielding results out
of proportion to the care bestowed upon it. Fine
plants, pot-grown, 1 year old, 8 to 12 inches high,
10 cts. each, 85 cts. per doz., $7 per 100; 2 years
old, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100.

PUNICA granatum.*® D. PoMEGRANATE. This
is afamous fruit from Palestine, which does well in
the South everywhere. A large bush, deciduous
with small leaves, handsome orange-red flowers,
and fruits the size of oranges, ripening in late
summer and autumn. The shrub is worthy a place
in ornamental grounds. <A good tub plant.

Spanish Ruby, or Purple-Seeded. One of the
best; bearing large, handsome fruits. 25 cts. each,
$2.50 per doz.

Saharanpur. A strain from Northwest Province
of India. Very exceller.t and meaty sort. Prolific.
Small, l-year, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.

Common Sweet. The ordinary strain. 20 cts.
each, $2 per doz.

RUBUS flavus.** E. YELLOW RASPBERRY.
From the Himalaya Mountains. Has proved to be
the only Raspberry that will thrive in Florida. Is
an immense, large bush, growing to 10 feet high.
Fruit is borne in clusters, and is yellow; of ordi-
nary size. Quality very good. Will stand sharp
frosts but not hard freezes. 15c. ea., $1.50 per doz.

R. trivialis.* E. The TRAILING DEWBERRY.
Our strain, the ‘* Manatee,’’ has proved to be one of
the best throughout the whole South, and even in
California. In cultivation, plant on dry soils, and
mulch. It can be trained on a wire trellis very
readily. 10 cts. each, 80 cts. per doz., $5 per 100.

R. cuneifolius.* E. Native BLACKBERRY. We
have a strain of very fine, large-sized fruits, that
seldom fail to produce abundantly every spring here.
Drought only prevents a sure crop, and this can be
obviated by irrigation. We confidently predict for
this perfect success in Florida, and in the South,
where the northern sorts do not flourish. 15c. each,
$1.50 per doz.

VITIS rotundifolia.* D. The Muscadine type of

| Grape. This free-growing species is the only one

which is really a success so far South. It does
fairly well in the tropics, and is by far the best type
of Grape for Florida and the Gulf coast, as it seldom
fails to bear a heavy crop of delicious fruit. It is
the stand by, and a very welcome one. Plant both
sorts 20 or 30 feet apart and train on a permanent
arbor.

James. New. Berry very large, black, and of
luscious flavor. The best yet. Ripens very late,
some fruit maturing here as late as October 25. A
splendid Grape for both the table and wine-making.
Strong vines, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.

Scuppernong. Light or amber when ripe; borne
in small bunches; each individual Grape is large.
This ripens in August here, and lasts well into Sep-
tember. The vine is very luxuriant in growth and
when untrained covers large areas. One of the best
sorts for grape arbors. The flavor of the fruit is
delicious. Strong vines, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.

c= The majority of plants and trees named in this department should be set in the winter, and not
later than March 1. Citrus trees, pot-grown Loquats, Eugenias, Myrtus, Opuntia and Psidiums may be

‘oz.; smaller size, 15 cts. each.

AGAVE rigida, var. Sisalana.*** ES. The
SisaAL Hemp. Native in Yucatan, this valuable fiber-
plant furnishes the finest fiber for rope, twine and
coarse bagging. This plant was introduced to the
Florida Keys in 1838, by Dr. Perrine, and is now
naturalized. There are thousands of acres of cheap
lands available for the growth of this plant along

Florida coasts, that need only a little capital to be
made to yield a good income. Its growth and man-
ufacture will undoubtedly soon be a feature of our
industries. Its cultivation has attracted much at-
tention in all English colonies; also Hawaii, Papua
and Africa, in various parts. We have supplied
hundreds of thousands of plants of the genuine
variety, recommended by Kew Gardens. Fine

that we know. Thrives under shade even, and will
grow on almost any soil. Leaves rather broad,
never over 6 inches high, requiring little mowing.
This grass being coarse, does not hold dew or rain,
and is particularly good for house lots and lawns..
Does not need so much water as Bermuda or St.
Lucie Grass. 40 cts. per 100 cuttings; by express,
$3.50 per 1,000.

PANICUM molie.*** Para Grass. In our
opinion one of the best fodder or pasture grasses for
Florida. Adapts itself to a great range of soils,
and is easily planted by plowing under pieces of
stem or root, 2 or more feet apart. It spreads by
strong running stems till ground is covered well,
and then grows upright. Can be cut for hay twice
or three times every year, yielding heavily. Frost
cuts the green growth back, but does not kill it out
in Florida. By mail, 25 cts. per doz., $1 per 100;
heavy, by freight or express, $1 per 2-bushel bag.

P. excurrens.* ** A grand, broad-leaved grass,
resembling a palm inthe young state. In fact, com-

richest blue, touched with yellow; very gay and
pretty. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.

E. crassipes.* T. The WaTER HyaAcintTH. A
very interesting plant, which floats on the surface
of the water until nearly ready to bloom, when the
roots enter soil, if in shallow water. Has proved to
be a nuisance in Florida rivers and lakes, forming
large masses and obstructing navigation, but is
proved to be most excellent for cows to feed upon,
and useless ponds and shallow lakes shouid be
planted with this for economic purposes, an acre
of water covered with hyacinths being worth any
five acres of pine-land grass. Has been introduced

Part of our Conifers are in open ground and part in pots; the large specimen trees are in the open,
but are easily moved during cool weather. In the North the spring is a good time, while in Florida it is
too dry then. Here, we prefer autumn and early winter for moving evergreen trees of most all sorts.

Palms and Cycads

“THE PRINCES OF THE VEGETABLE KINGDOM”

Palms form one of our specialties, and we grow thousands of plants. They are kept growing in pots,
enabling them to be moved or transplanted at any time without trouble. We use no heat, except for a few
most tender tropical sorts, during a few days of winter, and consequently our plants are in fit condition to
be shipped every day in the year, and are healthy and stocky. For outdoor planting, we recommend their
being set in spring or summer, so that they may be established before cooler weather. No class of plants
makes such a tropical and elegant display as Palms, and to hurry specimens into large size, no trouble
should be spared. Make the soil very rich. A plant in open ground after once established cannot be fer-
tilized too heavily. Where dry, mulching and watering must be attended to in their earlier stages: later,
they can take care of themselves! In the autumn in semi-tropical climates, Palms should not be eculti-
vated so late as to cause rank growth in the winter. In fertilizing use considerable sulphate of potash,
which will help Palms harden their growth and thus put them in good condition to stand freezing weather;
if too much nitrogenous manure is used it causes a sappy growth liable to be damaged by cold.

For culture in pots, see that the soil is rich, but not enriched too heavily, and that drainage is perfect.
Do not try to grow a small plant in an extremely large pot. Asa general rule, use 4-inch pots for plants
10 to 15 inches high; 6-inch pots for plants 20 to 24 inches high, etc., and always in such size that the roots
will have plenty of soil, without its turning sour. Cover the drainage holes with broken pottery or smal]
stones, or similar material, to keep the soil from dropping through, and to keepthe waterway open. Palms
in the house need some sunshine, and will do best with the morning and afternoon sunlight every day.
only avoiding the heat of noon. They will exist and live for years with but little light, but are not healthy,
nor will they grow fast. An even, rather high temperature suits them best, without drafts of air. The
hardier sorts will be able to stand a temperature of 60° and do very well, but below this they will not make
much growth. Even an occasional drop to 45° will not kill them, but they would prefer 70° most of the
time. In summer, Palms will appreciate plunging in the ground to the top of the pots, in a half-shady,
moist situation.

Varieties with the asterisk (%) are the more hardy sorts. Others should be kept from hard frosts,
being Tropical or Semi-Tropical. Our list embraces a very choice collection, and will be found quite
complete. See special offers of collections of Ferns, at end of Department.

Ferns are becoming more generally grown as decorative plants for many specific uses, as specimens
for greenhouse or home, in groups in ferneries, and in fern-dishes for table decoration, ete. Most of
the sorts we list can be grown into large specimens, for jardiniéres and hanging-baskets if desired, and
will be found useful for shaded places, where other plants would fail. In house culture these should
all be given some sunshine, if possible daily. The less light they get the more frail and weak they
become. Soil should be generally rather light, with leaf-mold or very old, well-rotted manure. Too
much manure is injurious, yet some sorts will be benefited with considerable added as a top-dressing.
Concentrated fertilizers are not so well suited for Ferns as for more rank-growing plants.

Rose, Etoue de Lyon.

(See opposite page. )

ROSA Indica.* SE. Including Tea, PERPETUAL,
NOISETTE RossEs, etc. We have had good success
with Roses on the poorest pine-land by using the
following plan: Dig a hole somewhat larger than
the intended bed of Roses, and two feet deep; fill to
within six inches of the surface with half-rotted sods
procured from some old field or in the woods. The
sods and grass should be tramped down thoroughly;
the upper 6 inches should be ordinary soil, with well-
rotted manure mixed inthoroughly. Clay alsoadded
throughout the depth of the bed is a decided help in
all light, sandy soils. The best time to transplant
Roses is in the fall and winter months. Don’t try
to save the tops of your Roses when you transplant.
Cut them back well; even to only 3 or 4 buds and
leaves is best, and in a few weeks you will have
strong, young, healthy shoots full of blossom-buds.
Prune your Roses every October, cutting back every-
thing but a few strong, healthy young shoots, and
you will be favored with buds and blossoms all win-
ter. The best buds and flowers are from the young,
vigorous canes. Bone-meal, blood and bone, and
potash, are excellent commercial fertilizers for
Roses; work in the top soil when hoeing and always
keep the weeds down by either hoeing or mulch-
ing. Weak-growing varieties should be budded, or
grafted on strong stocks best adapted for such pur-
pose; we find Rosa setigera one of the finest stocks;
Crimson Rambler is also fine and vigorous for bud-
ding on, and both are better than Manetti for our
sandy soils. Strong, free growers are best grown
from cuttings. We have plants from cuttings,
grafted, and budded; those from cuttings are mostly
2 years old; and the worked varieties 1 year old
on 2 year old roots. All are strong, and will be
pruned before packing.
