as large, good and handsome 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 Wild Goose should be fertilized by the common 

 Chickasaw kind to have it bear well.

Kelsey's Japan Phim. 



KEIvSEY'S JAPAN PI,UM. 



The Pruntis Domeshca, or European varieties, have proven worthless in the South 

 generally. The above will take their place promising 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 herein 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 neighbor- 

 hood since 5 years, it is a most delicious fruit, and every one who plants fruit trees should 

 not fail to plant some. We consider it a great acquisition. Price, 25 cents each; |;2 pet

OGAN ANB BOTAN PI<UMS. 



Two other Japan varieties. They are vigorous, handsome growers; branches smooth 

 with rich light green foliage. 



The Ogan is a large yellow variety, ripens early, and is very sweet. The Botan is 

 very large, reddish blue; a good keeping and shipping fruit. Japan fruit does well here 

 generally; everybody should try a few^ of these plums. 



Price, 25 cents each; $2 50 per dozen. 



APRICOT PI^tTM. 



(PRUNUS SI.MONI.) 



This plum comes from North China. It was fruited for the first time in 1885 by a well 

 known nurseryman in Texas. The fruits, when ripening, shine like apples of gold, and 



The Kelsey is in every respect superior to the Green Gage or Reine Claude 

 Plum of France, and deserves a place in every 

 Fruit Orchard.
