green food the year round. To insure
this, let all who can raise an extra guam

worthy of culture-for variety is as

Through leaf and lattice at many n rift
And over the billowy pillows drift.

And its purest white is his forehead fair
Ana his eyes are two Orbs of radiance rare
And now he shuts each lovely lid,
And all the room from his sight Is hid
AS II day at once into night had slid.
But he speaks, land loves car hastes to bark
" Mamal I've put you in the dark"
And the sober words reach sorrows mark
The eyes, whence his their color, fill;
And the heart that gave TO his its thrill
reels sudden pain, and a somber chill
And the thought, the bOding thought, would rise

A New and Valuable Fruit.-The Rev

New and Valuable Fruit. The Rev.
Henry Loomis of San Francisco. Cal.
has lately introduced into this country
the Diospyras Rdki, or japanese persim-
mon, which promises to be a great acqui-
sition TO our choice fruits. 1t is different
I'm its development from any of the
present varieties and is one of the favor
lite fruits of Japan and China.
1t is of bright yellow orange, or red
dish color, and is considered equal to
the peach or pear. 1t grows to a large
size. Col. Hollister, of Santa Barbara.
Cal, says of it, "The fruit is the most
beautiful of all the fruits / have ever
seen, and is most delicious to the taste"
The flavor reminds one of both the plum
and apricot. The season is from October
to February or March. When dried il
resembles the fig or date. There are
about forty varieties in Japan, differing
In size, shape, color, and flavor.
The tree is of upright growth, and,
without regard to the fruit, is of great
value for ornament. When set with the
bright fruit it is very beautiful. 1t is a
prolific bearer, and very hardy. The
grated trees will bear i'm about four
years from the graft.
The wood of the black persimmon is
like the common ebony, and highly
valued for manufacturing purposes.
GRATED trees can be sent by mail.
