Oneida 



The tree is medium in size, vigorous and pro- 

 ductive. The fruit is large, reddish-black, 

 prune -shaped and very good. Oneida keeps well 

 in storage and appears to be worthy of trial 

 where a late ripening plum is desired.

Earlidawn 



Variety Notes 



A very early ripening variety. The fruits are of medium 

 size and of fair to good flavor. The plants are produc- 

 tive and of moderate vigor. Earlidawn is recommended 

 where red stele is not a factor. 



Midland 



Redglow 



An early ripening variety with large firm fruit of very 

 good flavor. Midland produces many large, coarse ber- 

 ries and the berries are inclined to be dark in color. 

 Good yields are obtained only with virus-free plants. 

 Midland is not resistant to red stele. 



This early -midseason variety is vigorous and productive. 

 The berries are of good size, very attractive and of 

 good flavor. Redglow is resistant to the common strain 

 of red stele.
