. Fruitland Nurseries 1900. Nurseries (Horticulture) Georgia Augusta Catalogs; Fruit trees Seedlings Catalogs; Trees Seedlings Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs. , PERSIMMONS, continued Among, or Yemon (name of a Japanese ornament). Round, flattened, deeply ribbed; dark orange-red and sometimes yellowish red; lYz to 3 inches in diameter; average weight 6 ounces, and occasion- ally a specimen weighing 16 ounces is produced. Very sweet; flesh red, and is edible while still solid, but quality improves as it becomes soft. Maturity September. Hachiya (Beehive, in Japanese.—Synonyms : Costata Imperial, Yomato). Oblong, with a blunt apex, slightly ribbed; 2/1? x 3 inches; average weight 5 ozs.; flesh deep orange-red, astringent while solid but sweet and very good when soft. Should be house-ripened, and can be kept until March. Tree of vigorous and tall growth. Hiyakume (100 "me," a unit of Japanese weight). This is perhaps the most desirable of all the round, red-fleshed varieties, and as the fruit affects various shapes, it is known under many names, such as Pound, Tane-nashi, or Seedless, etc. The Agricultural Bureau of Tokio gives the latter name to a variety with black mottled apex, but we find both round and elongated forms upon the same tree, as also uniformly orange and orange-yellow colored specimens, while many are heavily tipped with black. This variation of form and colors has doubtless led to its array of synonyms. Fruit large, averaging 3 inches in diameter and 5 ounces in weight; usually flattened, but elongated forms are quite common upon the same branch. Flesh bright orange-red; keeps very late; must be soft before being edible. Tree of moderate height. Maru. Fruit medium size, shaped like tomato; slightly four-sided. Flesh light; fine quality. Open grower. Miyo-tan (Mazellt). Round or slightly oblong; zl/z inches in diameter; average weight ounces; slightly ribbed; skin deep orange-red; flesh usually deep brown-red, but bright red
