/. T. LOVETT CO— PLUMS. 



BRUNSWICK. 



A very fine new plum which originated near Cape Girardeau, Mo., and which has the color and gener- 

 al appearance of Wild Goose, but is larger and sweeter. It is a true Chicasaw plum,a rather slow grower, 

 with tough pendulous branches; very hardy and immensely prolific. Fruit is very large for a native plum, 

 with prominent apex; of a beautiful dark red color with yellowish ground at apex, marbled and speckled 

 and covered with a delicate white bloom; flesh yellow, meaty, delicious and sweet. It is remarkably firm, 

 consequently a good shipper; entirely free from rot, and but little damaged by the curculio. Ripens al- 

 most a month later than Wild Goose, and holds on to tbe tree for days after ripe. On peach, medium, 

 ea., 50c; doz., $5.00. 



Into bearing early and seldom fails to mature a 

 good crop. The fruit is of large size, of a bright 

 reddish, purplish color, covered with abundant 

 bloom, roundish-obovate in form and excellent 

 quality. The firmness of its flesh and its good keep- 

 ing properties render it valuable for shipping. On 

 plum, 1st c, ea., 50c; doz., $5.00, 100, $30.00. 



V GRAND DUKE. 



A valuable market plum, ripening late. Very 

 large, dark violet red; resembles Bradshaw in size

 ea., 50c; doz., $5.00; 100, $30.00. 



EXCELSIOR. 



An American variety of vigorous but dwarf hab- 

 it, coming into bearing at two or three years old.
