Mr.. M. V. Wright, has left in this
Office two perslmmons from tree
that bore several dozen, requesting
our opinion ofthe fruit: The sam
pies before us were picked New
Years day and were perfectly ripe.
They were OF a deep red color and
very soft, requiring 20 be eaten with
. spoon. The flavor is very fine
with an entire absence of that astrln.
gent quality for which the persim-
mon is so noted. Judging from the
samples before US the Japanese per-
simmon will yet become quite popn-
lar, but those who raise it must not
become impatient OF delay and at
tempt 10 eat it before it is thoroughly
ripe.
The specimens mentioned some
time since as coming from Pomona,
were evidently picked before they
were ripe as one sample is still on
hand, as hard and as astringent as
ever.
