MARIANNA PLUM. 



A new plum from Texas, supposed | 

 accidental seedling of the Wild Goose. | 

 It is a rapid grower. Grows from cut- 

 tings ; it never throws up any suckers or 

 sprouts. Fruit as large, good and hand- 

 some as the Wild Goose ; one to two 

 weeks earlier, hangs on better, ships 

 well ; ripens and colors beautifully, if 



picked a few days previously. It is 

 the best of the Chickasaw type. This 

 variety and the Yv'ild Goose, should be 

 fertilized by the common Chickasaw 

 kind to have it bear well. 



Price, 5-6 feet high, 25c. each; $2.50 

 per dozen.
