Fruit trees, evergreens, roses, etcfor Florida and coast belt of southern states . each; $2 per10; 818 per 100. Large Spanish—2 to 3 feet, 25c each;82 per 10; 4 to 5 feet, 50c each. Japan—This is unquestionably a greatacquisition for the section of theUnited States where the nativespecies nourish. There are many sub-varieties cultivated in Japan, and,like the Persimmon, their nomen-clature is badly confused. Seedlingsvary in size and shape, as well ashabit of growth and productiveness,and are therefore more unreliable asto products than the grafted have grown this Chestnut sevenyears, and trees of three years of agehave yielded fruit. Fruit very large,burrs containing at times as many asfive large nuts; quality similar to thenative variety. In habit the treesare dwarf. Price of grafted trees, 2to 3 feet, 50c each. The trees whichwe offer are all grown in our Nurse-ries. Imported trees are, as a rule,worthless; they are badly grown,withscarcely any roots, and few survive;those which keep alive require twroyears careful nursing to bring theminto Mayette Walnnt. Mayette—Nuts produced in pairs; ob-long, somewhat flattened; best qual-ity; half-hard shell. Parisieune—Large, oblong, slightlyhard shell; very good. Thin Shelled—Nuts large, oblong, shellvery thin; of excellent quality, andkeep sweet a long time. All our trees are grown from varieties are imported fromFrance from reliable growers; othersare grown from nuts produced in ourorchards. We have trees of the EarlyBearing variety which at eight yearsof age have yielded upward of onebushel of nuts. The varieties as offered, 2(5 v although seedlings, usually come true,or with slight variations. Graftedtrees are always scarce and high-priced,owing to the difficulty of this methodof propagation. The best soil for Walnuts is a strongclay, rich and somewhat stony; hencemany acres of land which are difficultto cultivate in ordinary crops are avail-able for Walnuts. FILBERTS. Of easy cult
