PARRYS' POMONA NURSERIES. 9. The Japan Golden Russet tree has con- tinued to bear enormously every year, having no off years. The season of 1890, when all varieties failed, Kieffer not ex- cepted, the Japan Golden Russet pro- duced its usual heavy crop, showing it is not affected by the sudden changes of heat or cold. Its bearing propensities are so great that the fruit hangs in great masses and clusters, and, consequently, if not thinned, the tree will not increase rapidly in growth, and is therefore nicely adapted to small plots or can be planted closely together. The abundance of thick, tough, leathery leaves of the Japan Golden Russet enables it to endure great heat and drought, and will particularly adapt it to dry, hot climates and parched, sandy soils, where the Euro- pean varieties cannot exist. It also ma- tures its wood so perfectly that it would require very intense cold to injure it, and it is very free from blight and in- sects. It also makes a remarkably handsome Lawn Tree, and will become a profitable market variety as well as desirable for family use. The leaves are large and velvety, measur- ing 6 to 8 inches in length by 3 to 4 in width, and of dark green color until fall, when they become a beautiful bronze,.
