A SUPERIOR PLUMCOT 



This delicious plumcot, as yet unin- 

 troduced, possesses marked freestone 

 characteristics, a quality very unusual 

 among the Japan plums that figure 

 among its ancestors. Apricot parent- 

 age is indicated by the smooth stone 

 and by the shape and ridging of the 

 fruit. The flesh, by its red color,, 

 shot with yellow, indicates plainly the 

 Satsuma plum, modified by apricot 

 influence. As an example of mixed 

 inheritance, therefore, the fruit has ex- 

 ceptional interest. The fruit appeals to 

 any palate.
