62 Agricultural ExrERiMENT Station, Ithaca, N. Y. 



Imported by Luther Burbaiik in 1886. Figured in Pomologist's 

 Report, Eept. Dept. Agr. 1887, Plate I. (colored), and also in 

 Wickson's California Fruits, 351, the latter copied from the former, 

 I have never seen a Satsunia with suchTi small pit as represented in 

 these cuts, nor of the same shape. The fruit appears to be uniform 

 in shape and markings, and it is figured from life in Bulletin 62. 

 The Satsuma is hardy in the northern states. Stark Brob., Louisi- 

 ana, Mo., write that it blooms too early with them and is not so 

 hardy as some others. This belongs to the Beni-Smomo group of 

 Japanese, which is characterized by red flesh. Season about with 

 Burbank. Usually too sour to be agreeable, and the color is such 

 that the market will probably object to it. Very long keeper. 



Sea-Egg {Btc7hank). 

 Mr. Burbank sends me a very handsome and well-marked Japan- 

 ese plum under this name, which is globular heart-shape in outline, 

 and mottled-red ; flesh very thick and meaty, orange-yellow, sweet 

 and excellent, with a slight muskiness; cling. 



Shiro Smomo : see Red Nagate and Berger. 

 Shipper {Burljank). 



Fruit oval, light red with a white bloom ; flesh very firm, yellow, 



sweet and juicy ; long keeper. Tree sturdy, but a moderate 



grower. Described with Burbank's Novelties, 18.93. Seedling of 



Satsuma.
