Varieties listed in order oj ripening 



BRUCE (1) One of the best Oriental plums for 

 southern planting. It ripens very early, averages good 

 size, is very firm and has fine quahty for such an early 

 variety. If picked just as the yellow background ap- 

 pears, it will ship well and color a pretty, bright red 

 in three to four days. Bruce is ver}^ productive, but 

 requires pollination. 



METHLEY (2) A fine variety with excellent quahty 

 and handsome appearance. Fruits are medium to large 

 in size, reddish purple in color with red flesh. They are 

 juicy, sweet, and of distinctive flavor. Trees are verj- 

 vigorous, upright in growth. Buds are hardy, abundant, 

 and self-fertile.

 yellow color and good flavor when allowed to mature 

 properly. Fruits are of medium size, and suitable for 

 cooking, canning, and dessert use. Requires pollination.

 firm, light yellow flesh that is aromatic and sweet.

 an Oriental variety that is a good pollinator for Shiro 

 and is self-fruitful. 



BURMOSA (5) A new variety that is gaining favor 

 in southern areas. Fruits have greenish yellow skin that 

 is blushed with purple. Flesh is hght yellow. Burmosa is 

 large, freestone, rather early, and good for fresh use 

 and shipping. Trees are spreading and resemble Bur- 

 bank. Not self-fertile; plant with Santa Rosa.

 are rapid growers, healthy, and bear early. They pro- 

 duce abundant yields of medium-sized, rich bright 

 cherry-red, and highly perfumed fruits. Flesh is light
