Rolingstone. Originated on the Rolingstone 

 river in Minnesota. Tree a strong grower and 

 good bearer. Fruit large to very large, bright 

 cherry red, good quality and good shipper. 



Van Bur en. This is another free stone, of most 

 excellent quality, good size, and is a light yellow, 

 sometimes slightly red when fully ripe. One of 

 the best. 



Quaker. Fruit large to very large, and very 

 firm, not good for dessert but fair cooker. Is the 

 most " meaty " of any of the Americana varieties. 



Harrison Peach. This variety comes from the 

 neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minn. Tree a rather 

 spreading strong grower and good bearer. Fruit 

 of medium size, oblong and good quality. Color, 

 light red. Free stone. (Terry.) 



Spear. or "Spear's Round." This is one of 

 the most valuable of all the plums for culinary uses. 

 We have seen and eaten the fruit at the home of 

 the originator, and procured our first cions there. 

 It is an annual and immense bearer of red fair sized 

 round fruit, which shows no astringency whatever 

 when canned. 



The above are all of the American family and 

 is the safest list for general planting, especially if 

 in very high latitudes.
