SARATOGA. 



Originated near Saratoga Springs, for which It is 

 «iamed. It is an exceedingly promising plum and 

 likely to prove a profitable market variety. The tree 

 is of vigorous grois-th and very prolific, coming into | 

 hearing early and seldom fails to mature a good crop. 

 The fruit is of large size of a bright reddish-purple 

 color, covered with abundant bloom, roundisb- 

 obavate in form and of excellent quality. The firm- 

 ness of its flesh and its good-keeping properties ren- 

 der it valuable for shipping. This is a vpry promis- 

 ing variety and is highly praised by several good 

 authorities in Western New York, who are familiar 

 with it and speak advisedly of it. 1st cL, ea., 60c; 

 .doz., S6 00. 



Burbank.— A valuable Oriental plum, in gen- 

 eral character very similar to Abundance, but of 

 deeper color and ripening later in the season. The 

 fruit is large, and varies less in size than any other 

 Japan plum; nearly globular, clear cherry red with a 

 thin lilac bloom; flesh a deep yellow, very sweet with 

 a peculiar and very agreeable flavor. The tree is a 

 vigorous grower, with large and rather broad leaves, 

 begins to bear usually at two years old. 1st cL, ea., 

 ,60c; doz., S5.00. June budded, ea., 25c; doz., $2.50. 



SATSUMA BLOOD. 



A fine large plum of the Oriental class, as large as 

 Kelsey, more globular in shape ard frem five to six 

 weeks earlier. The flesh is solid, of a purplish-crim- 

 son color from pit to skin, juicy and of fine quality. 

 Pit exceedingly small- very little larger than a cherry 

 stone. Tree a strong vigorous grower with brown- 

 ish-red bark and lanceolate foliage. H. E. Van 

 Deman, U. S. Pomologist, says of it, "The Satsuma 

 plum is equal to Kelsey in size and quality. It is as 

 red as blood inside. A month earlier than Kelsey 

 and probably hardipr, it may prove more valuable 

 for the North where the Kelsey does not succeed." 

 1st c, ea., 50c; doz., $5.00:100, $30.00. J. B-, ea., 

 25c; doz., $2.50; 100, $15.00.
