Kelsey’s Japan Plum. 
KELSEY’S JAPAN PLUM. 
_ The Prunus Domestica, or European varie- 
ties, have proven worthless in the South gen- 
erally. The above will take their place prom- 
ising good results, being of Asiatic origin. 
The Kelsey Plum is from two to two and a 
half inches in diameter, heart-shaped, rich 
yellow, with purple cheek. Parties who have 
been fruiting it here in the South pronounce 
it the most magnificent plum they have seen; 
it weighs from 4 to 6 ounces. It excels all 
other plums for canning and drying, and will 
carry for a long distance better than any other 
kind. Matures middle of August to September. 
It has fruited in this neighborhood this past 
season; itis a most delicious fruit, and every 
one who plants fruit trees should not fail to 
plant some. I consider it a great acquisition. 
Price, 25c. each; $2.50 per dozen.
