D. BEATIE, ATLANTA, [apart Persimmon. JAPAN PERSIMMONS. (Diospyrns Kaki, The fruit has now been thoroughly tested, and has been proved to be of great value for the Southern states, where the tree is perfectly hardy. It bears at a very early age, and is wonderfully productive. It is not an uncom- mon thing to see i-year-old trees planted in the spring bear 30 to 40 good-sized Persimmons the following year. The fruit of most varieties begins to color when half-grown, but should be allowed to hang on the tree until just before frost is ex- pected, or in the case of the early ripening varieties, until fully soft. If gathered before a frost, there is a slight astringency next to the skin, but this is lost if the fruit is kept in the house 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. It is, therefore, desirable to gather the fruit before frost, if intended for keeping, and then some varieties will remain sound until January and February. The flesh is soft, rich and sweet, with a slight apricot flavor. The best soil for the Persimmon is a clayey loam. The trees require manuring once in the middle of winter ; the manure is best applied h a circular furrow dug in the ground around thi trunk of each tree ; they should be pruned eacl alternate year, in early spring or in the autumi harvest season.
