Fruit Department — Japanese Persimmons 11 Japanese Persimmons (Diospyros Kaki) Price of trees, one-year grafts, 3 to 5 feet, 25 cents each, $2 for 10. The Japan Persimmon is thoroughly adapted to the Cotton Belt. It does especially well region. The tree is a vigorous grower, an early and prolific bearer. As it is apt to overbear, the be thinned out, leaving only a number commen- surate with the size of the tree. The fruit varies in color and shape. The dark-fleshed varieties are never astringent, but the light-fleshed varie- ties should never be eaten until soft. The flesh also varies in color; in the pointed varieties it is usually deep orange; in these it remains solid and quite astringent until November, but becomes soft and edible after being house-ripened. In the round varieties, those having dark brown flesh are edible while still solid, while most of those with orange flesh should be allowed to become soft be- fore being eaten. The fruit of nearly every va- riety begins to color when half-grown, but should be allowed to hang on the tree until just before a frost is expected, or in the case of the early ripen- ing varieties, when fully soft. If gathered before a frost, there is a slight astringency next to the skin, but this disappears after being kept in the house for a few days or weeks. If allowed to be slightly touched by frost the flavor is much im- proved, but the fruit will then not keep many days. Gather the fruit before frost if intended for keeping ; some varieties will remain sound until January or February. The flesh is soft, rich and sweet, and of a slight apricot flavor. Some varie- ties will be perfectly seedless during one or more years, and again every specimen will contain more or less seeds the following season. The list which we give includes the
