ABUNDANCE (Yellow-fleshed Botan). 



The best of the 

 Japanese varieties 

 and the most produc- 

 tive of all plums, 

 bending the limbs of 

 trees with the weight 

 of fruit until they of- 

 ten break. An ex- 

 ceedingly early bear- 

 er, even young trees 

 in the nursery row 

 being loaded. The 

 fruit is large, showy 

 and beautiful. Am- 

 ber, tu rnin g to rich, 

 bright cherry color 

 with a decided white 

 bloom, and highly 

 perfumed. Flesh 

 light yellow, exceed- 

 ingly juicy and ten- 

 der, 'and of a delicious 

 :- T ~— mess impossible 

 to describe. Stone 

 small and parts read- 

 ily from the flesh. 

 For canning it is of 

 r Ft=- the greatest excel- 

 lence. Its season is 

 very early, ripening 

 earlv in August in 

 advance of other 

 piums. 



Bailey's Japan. Very large, nearly globular, over- 

 spread with light cherry red. Tree an upright, vigor- 

 ous grower and a prolific bearer. Ripens about fifteen 

 days after Wild G-oose and a little ahead of Satsuma.

Berckman's. Medium to large, conical, deep crimson 

 with white flesh, very sweet and good, firm and solid. 

 Tree a vigorous grower, early bearer and seldom fails 

 to produce a large crop. Ripens with Abundance. 



Bur bank. Excessively productive and entirely hardy. 

 Medium to large, roundish conical dark purplish red : 

 flesh yellow, melting, juicy, rich, sugary: a good ship- 

 per. 'Small stone and free. A vigorous grower and 

 comes into bearing early. Later than Abundance. 



Og"on. One of the.finest.and mosc desirable of the 

 Japanese sorts 

 for all purpos- 

 es. Large, 

 nearly round 

 with deep su- 

 ture, bright 

 golden yellow 

 with faint 

 bloom: flesh 

 firm sweet . 

 rich and dry. 

 very fine in 

 quality. Ex- 

 cellent for can- 

 ing. Its beau j 

 ty is simply 

 wonderful.and 

 in addition to 

 this, its very 

 early ripening 

 —the last of 

 July — its firm- 

 ness and keeping qualities wheu gathered, and its re- 

 markable hardiness and productiveness, render it one 

 of the best and most profitable of them all. The tree 

 is vigorous, entirely hardy and exceedingly productive. 



Satsuma. Large, clear purple: flesh purplish-crim- 

 son, firm. good. '-> Fit exceedingly small. A rigorous 

 grower, and inclined to overbear' Midseason. 



NEW VARIETIES. 



June-budded and oi 



mm, ea. 



trees icill be mailed, if desired, at each and dozen rates. 



RED JUNE. 



Of immense value for its very early ripening. 

 It is the best in quality of any of the early Japa- 

 nese varieties and is exceptionally free from rot. 

 The fruit is medium to large, roundish-conical, 

 deep puiplish red, covered with bloom, very hand- 

 some and attractive: flesn pale yellow, firm and 

 meaty, excellent in quality: half cling. Tree 

 strong, hardy and spreading, immensely produc- 

 tive and comes into bearing in two or three years. 

 Being the earliest, except one. of all the Japanese 

 Plums, free from rot. firm, fine and abundant, 

 we predict for it a popularity among orchardists 

 for market growing, and we especially commend 

 it to the amateur for its very early supply of de- 

 licious plums. At the Southwest, where it is bet- 

 ter known, it is spoken of as -the most valuable 

 market plum produced up to this time." 1st c.
