PLUMLIKE PLUMCOT 



This is the plumcot named "The 

 Bearer/' At first view, the fruit 

 gives the impression of a Japanese- 

 American hybrid plum, but the short, 

 thick wood, the prominent buds, pecu- 

 liar bark, and especially the fuzz, indi- 

 cate apricot parentage. The apricot 

 characters are prominent in the tree; 

 but the fruit is, on the whole, distinctly 

 plumlike in general appearance.
