102 SUCCESSFUL FKUIT CULTURE 



American Varieties — There is more uncertainty in 

 regard to the value of the varieties of this group for 

 market than with the other groups^ from the fact that 

 they have no reputation in many of the large markets 

 of the country, and the people must become acquainted 

 with them before they will be in demand. Among 

 the best are the following: Hawkeye (Figure 53), 

 Hammer, Wildgoose, Wolf, Wyant, etc. 



For insects and fungous diseases attacking the plum 

 see Chapters XX and XXI.
