" An excellent variety, but not tested in the north. It varies 

 considerably in shape, even on the same tree, occasional specimens 

 occurring without the point. Mr. Berckmans writes me that in 1890 

 the round form seemed to predominate, while in 1892 the pointed or 

 normal form alone was produced. Imported from Japan by Frost 

 & Burgess, Riverside, California. Named for J. W. Kerr, of 

 Denton, Maryland, one of the most intelligent plum growers of the 

 central states." — BuUethi 62. 



" Kerr is not the earliest of the large-sized plums, but most excel- 

 lent in quality. It partakes more of the Green Gage flavor than 

 any other of the group." — P. J. Berckmans^ 1895.

 Burbank, No. 3. 



Medium in size, globular or slightly flattened, scarcely if at all' 

 pointed, rather light bright uniform red ; flesh red, firm and sweet,, 

 tightly clinging to the pit. 



Imported by Luther Burbank in 1885, together with Heikes,. 

 which see. Mr. Burbank writes me that he disposed of this and 

 No. 4 after they had fruited in the nursery row, and that he now 

 has no knowledge of them. Yery much like Satsuma, but a few 

 days later and appears to bloom earlier ; also less pointed, and some- 

 what different in leaf. Little known. 



Late Hattankio {Cherokee Nursery Co.^ Waycross, Ga., in 



letter, 1894). 



"Color pale orange yellow, heavily covered with a white bloom. 

 Suture very slight. Flesh dark yellow, very firm and somewhat 

 dry with a slight astringency. Generally of poor quality and ir- 

 regular shape. Ripe with us June 15th to 20th." 



Long Fruit (BurhanA). 



Yery small, roundish in shape, red, early and said to be a shy 

 bearer. Thought by some to be the same as Engre. Others say 

 that it is the same as Red June. Possibly two things are propa-
