 quality, fully equal to 

 imperial Gage, none so 

 fine for the family. 

 Ripens middle of Sep-

 most profitable of all 

 plums in market. Prof. 

 L. H. Bailey the highest 

 American authority on 

 Japan plums, in Cor-

 Plums,' ' says of the Hale 

 Plum: "A very hand- 

 some, Jar^e, round con 

 ical plum, usually lop- hale 



sided, oranee, thinly overlaid with mottled red, so as to have a 

 yellowish red appearance, or, in well colored specimens, deep 

 cherry red, with yellowish specks; flesh yellow, soft and juicy (yet 

 a good keeper) not stringy, with a very delicious slightly acid 

 peachy flavor; skin somewhat sour cling. Very late. I know the 

 fruit only from specimens sent at two or three different times by 

 Luther Burbank. To my taste these specimens have been the best 

 in quality of all the Japan plums.
