Descriptive catalogue and price list of tropical and semi-tropical fruit trees : vines, shrubs and greenhouse plants descriptivecatal1890seve Year: 1890 Hardy Fruit-Bearing Trees, Vines akd Plants. 13 III. Hardy Fruit-Bearin Trees, Vines ANB Plants. Our list of varieties under this head is limited, as few of the more northern fruits succeed as far South as this. The following, with the exception of the newer varieties of Oriental palms, have all been thoroughly tested here, and so far are a success. CHERRY {Priimis serothia.) Identical with the common wild variety of the North ; is near!}- evergreen here, and worth}' of cultivation as an ornamental tree ; fruit of value for medicinal purposes. Small trees, 25 cents each, $ per dozen. DEWBERRY. {Rtibiis trivialis.) This native fruit does not receive half the attention it deserves. Under good cultivation it produces large, lus- cious fruit, much better than the best blackberry. 10 cts. each, 5i per dozen. Lucretia. A new Dewberry of Virginian origin. Fruit much larger than the wild variety, sweet, melting and free from core. In spring cut back the canes to half their length, and mulch the ground heavily to keep the berries out of the dirt. 15 cts. each, $ per dozen. GRAPES. [Vitis.) This fruit is now so well known in Florida that it needs no commendation. The vines are easily grown, requir- ing only well drained land and a moderate quantity of fertilizer; plant at least twelve inches deep. The limits of a catalogue do not admit of full cultural directions, and we would advise our patrons to consult Prof E. Du Bois' treatise on 'Grape-growing in Florida.' VARIETIES OE V. SXIVAEIS. Cynthiaua. Berry small ; bunches long, shouldered and very compact ; black, with blue bloom; very juicy and vinous, and in addition to its being a good' table grape, it is one of the best wine grapes in America. Norton's Virginia. Differ but little from the above. VA
