POND'S SEEDLING PLUM. 



Tbis drawing represents a young tree of Pond's Sijedlikg, trained as a Pyramid, some seven years old, 

 and in full bearing. This is only one from among a plantation of over two hundred trees, many of which are 

 quite as perJtect as this one, and is merely intended to show this form of training, and call attention to its 

 advantages and heauty, especially for Garden use. 



We find that trees thus trained are much more easily protected against the attacks of the curculio and 

 other insects, than the ordinary Standard. The Pond's Seedling is one of the largest and most beautiful 

 of Plums, but only of medium quality.
