The most productive of all plums, bending the limbs of trees with 

 the weight of fruit. An exceedingly early bearer, even young trees 

 in the nursery row being loaded. The fruit is large, showy and 

 beautiful. Amber, tmming to a rich, bright cherry color with a 

 decided white bloom, and highly perfumed. Flesh light yellow, ex- 

 ceedingly juicy and tender, and of a delicious sweetness. Its season 

 is very early, ripening in advance of other plums. The ciu'culio has 

 no effect upon it, and one may be certain of a crop of plums if he 

 will but plant the Abundance. In growth and habit it is so strong 

 f AW^m handsome as to render it worthy of being planted as an orna- 



mental tree. A blessing to all who plant it either for market or the
