MARIANNA PLUM. 
4 
A new plum from Texas, supposed 
accidental seedling of the Wild Goose. 
It is a rapid grower. Grows from cut- 
tings ; itneverthrows 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. 
Price, 5—6 feet high, 30c. each; $3.00 
per dozen. 
KELSEY’S JAPAN PLUM. 
The Prunus Domestica, 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 here in the South, 
pronounce it the most magnificent plum 
they have seen; it weighs from four to 
six 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. Do not fail to try it. 
Price, 50c. each ; $5.00 per dozen. 
APRICOT PLUM. 
(PRUNUS SIMONL.) 
It 
A new plum from North China. 
was fruited for the first time in 1885, by 
T. W. Munson, of Denison, Texas—the | 
well-known nurseryman. The fruits, | 
when ripening, shine like apples of | 
gold, and become of a rich vermillion 
when ripe. It is very firm and mealy, 
and equal to any Plum; has never been 
attacked by the Curculio. It will carry 
any desired distance. 
Tree very thrifty, upright; early and 
abundant bearer. 
Price, one year old trees, 50c. each; 
$5.00 per dozen.
