PLUMS 



Plums are easy to grow, few people realize how 



easy it is to grow luscious, edible plums. They 



thrive and bear readily on most any land that is 



not too wet. Below is a selected list of varieties 



chosen for their size, appearance and flavor of 



their fruit, as well as hardiness and strong growing 



characteristics of the trees. 

 We have some exceptionally good plum trees to 



offer this year, all budded on whole root seedlings. 



With our low prices it will pay you to set out a few. 



ABUNDANCE. Early, large, lemon-yellow, hardy, pro- 

 ductive.

 cellent flavor, desirable for canning.

 very productive. Popular commercial variety.

NECTARINES 



There is a mistaken idea that the nectarine is a 

 cross between the peach and something else, while 

 it is really nothing more or less than a smooth

Alexander Apricots 



— excellent for your 



home garden 



Red June Plums — best early variety 



skinned peach. The trees bear fully as well as 

 the peach, and for canning, drying and shipping, 

 it has so many points in its favor that it is difficult 

 indeed to comprehend why planters have not en- 

 gaged in nectarine culture more extensively than 

 they have. The melting, juicy texture of the 

 nectarine and its delicious flavor furnishes one of 

 the most delightful fruits for eating during the 

 summer. Plant a few trees in your home orchard 

 this year. 



Red Roman. Greenish yellow, 

 red cheek, flesh golden. 



Boston. Bright yellow, red cheek; 

 flesh yellow. 



APRICOTS 



The apricot is one of the 

 most delightfully luscious 

 fruits grown, when eaten fully 

 ripe and fresh from the tree. 

 It is remarkable that such a 

 rich and beautiful, golden, 

 sweet fruit is not planted more, 

 especially since it ripens just 

 after the early cherries and be- 

 fore the best early peaches. 

 Apricots succeed in many lo- 

 calities and will stand more 

 winter cold than peaches. They 

 usually begin to bear two 

 years after planting. Below is 

 a select list of varieties offered 

 at the lowest prices in years. 



Alexander. Early, prolific, free- 

 stone, orange with red blush 

 Russian variety. Hardy where 

 peaches cannot be grown. 



EARLY GOLDEN. Small, pale 

 orange, juicy and sweet. It is 

 a hardy prolific bearer; ripens 

 first of July. 



Superb. Medium size, light sal- 

 mon-colored fruit. Hardy.
