KELSEY'S JAPAN PLUM 



'Phe Prunus Domestica, or European varie- 

 iie:% have proven worthless in the South gen- 

 cjr>Uy. The above will take their place prom- 

 iidiig good results, being of Asiatic origin. 

 Tha Kelsey Plum is from two to two and a 

 half inches in diameter, heart-shaped, rich 

 yellcvf, with purple cheek. Parties who 

 havo been fruiting it here in the South pro- 

 aounoe it the most magnificent plum they 

 have seen; it weighs from 4 to 6 ounces. It 



excels all other plums for canning and dryinj?. 

 and will carry for a long distimce better than 

 any other kind. Matures middle of AugUKi 

 to September. It has fruited in this neigh- 

 borhood this past season; it is a most doii- 

 cious fruit, and everyone who plants fruit 

 trees should not fail to plant some. I coia- 

 sider it a great acquisition. Price, 25c. ea<?h : 

 $2.50 per dozen.

 oufi, handsome growers; branches smooth

 ripoos early, and is very sweet. The Sotam 



I is very lai'^e, reddish blue; a good ke-?piQs: 

 j and shipping fruit. Japan fruit does wejl 

 } here generally; everybody should try a f(^w ctf 



these plums.
