AVitli us the Abundance lias been less injured with this fungus than 

 the Lombard. The light pink-red color of the Abundance will 

 clearly distinguish the variety from all other Japanese plums which 

 we have fruited. The tree is an upright grower, not so spreading as 

 the Berckmans, with larger and better foliage. I l)elieve that the 

 Abundance is the best single variety of Japanese plum. 



33.-- Abmuhince. SumU of inferior type. 



The Chase which we have heretofore regarded as identical with 

 Chabot was this year perfectly indistinguishable from Al)undance. 



AVe now believe that the Douglas is Abundance ; or, if different, 

 it is very difficult to distinguish. It seems to have a somewhat 

 drier tiesh tlian Abundance; but Abundance varies in juiciness.
