Fruit and Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, Etc. 47 This fruit is getting very popular, especially South, where it is fine food for hogs and poultry. The tree is also fine for shade, as it grows rapidly and is very hardy. Downing's Black. Fruit very large, black and subacid; mostly planted North. Fruit about June i to middle of July. Hicks', or Everbearing Black. This va- riety is very popular South, as the tree is a very rapid grower, bears very young and has a long season, very often from June i until the middle of August.
