A BRANCH OF THE NEW FRENCH PRUNE TREE 



Some typical fruits of the new variety of French prunes are here shown. These fruits (repro- 

 duced above to approximately one-half natural size) are about twice the size and weight of 

 the ordinary variety, and are more uniform in all of their characteristics. The trees seem 

 to have a more vigorous growth and develop larger leaves than the parent variety. ( Frontis- 

 piece.)
