Cureulio-Proof PLUMS. 
LINCOLN.—This marvelous plum originated 
in York county, Penna., over twenty-five years 
ago, from seed of Green Gage or Reine Claude, and 
Lincoln given itas an appropriate name when it 
first came into bearing on account of its many 
merits of high order, Lincoln at the time being 
President. In color the Lincoln is reddish-purple, 
with a delicate bloom, very bright, showy and at- 
tractive; flesh, light yellow or amber, exceedingly 
juicy, rich, sweet, melting and luscious, entirely 
free from any coarseness or toughness, parting 
freely from the stone. It is the largest in size of 
all hardy plums—2'¥4 inches long and over six 
inches around, weighing two ounces each; the 
y finest in quality ofany known variety. Wonderfully prolific, the plums 
hanging like ropes of onions on the branches, beautiful in form and color,

JAPANESE WINEBERRY. 
We quote as follows from the description of the introducer of this won- 
derful new fruit: ‘Prof. Gregson, of the Japanese Imperial Agricultural 
College, while traveling among the mountains of Japan for rest and recre- 
ation, came upon this berry growing in a wild state. Its exceeding lus- 
ciousness and beauty prompted him to dry someof the berries and send 
the seed to relatives in this country, with the information that ifit suc- 
ceeded, it would prove the most valuable berry novelty ever introduced. 
It belongs to the raspberry family; is a strong, vigorous grower, attaining 
the usual height of a raspberry, and is perfectly hardy in all positions with- 
= out protection. It is, in fact, more hardy and vigorous than any rasp- 
© berry or blackberry. It stands alike the cold of Northern winters 
= and the heat of Southern summers, without the slightest degree of in- 
‘ jury. Its leaves are of the darkest green outside, and silvery white 
underneath. The young shoots and branches are covered with 
= a reddish-brown hair or moss. The fruit is borne in large clus- 
@ ters, often 75 to 100 berries ina bunch. These berries are from 
™ the time of formation and bloom until they ripen enclosed in a 
5 ‘burr’, which is formed by the calyx covering them entirely. 
* When ripe the burr opens, exhibiting a large berry of the bright- 
e est, light glossy scarlet, or sherry wine color. The burrs and 
stems are coyered with a heavy reddish moss, like a moss rose 
bud. The flavor of the fruit is entirely different from any other 
berry, being very sprightly, sweet and juicy, having no disa- 
greeable sour, but a delicate and luscious flavor peculiar to it- 
self, and superior to other berries. It is very juicy and makes 
the finest quality of wine. It commences to ripen early in July 
and continues in bearing fora long time. It is the most pro- 
lifie berry known, the bushes being literally covered with its 
luscious fruit. It is propagated from the tips like cap raspber- 
ries and dewberries, and can be increased rapidly.” Strong 
well-rooted plants, 30 cents each, 4 for $1.00; plants not quite so 
large, 20 cents each, 3 for 50 cents, postpaid. 
Wineberry Seed.—Grows freely from seed, producing vigor- 
ous plants which fruit the second year. Seed to germinate free- 
¢ ly. must be frozen,so that if planted during the summer and 
tp fall, lies dormant until the following spring, when it comes uv 
& abundantly. 20 cents per packet, 3 packets, 50 cents. a
