 Japanese varieties; hardy and produc- 

 tive. Fruit large, lemon yellow, with 

 heavy bloom; good quality. 30c. each; 

 $3.00 per dozen.

 with purple and blue bloom; flesh, yel- 

 lowish, firm and sugary. Ripens June 20 

 to July 5. 30c. each; $3.00 per dozen. 



Normand Plum.

 with heart-like base and short stem-; skin 

 clear, golden yellow; flesh firm and 

 meaty, yellow, of high quality. Tree 

 symmetrical; prolific, 30c. each, $3.00 per

Kelsey's Japan Plum. 



The Kelsey Plum is from two to two 

 and a half inches in diameter, heart- 

 shaped, rich yellow, with purple cheek. 

 Parties who have been fruiting it here in 

 the South pronounce it the most magnifi- 

 cent plum they have seen; it weighs 

 from 4 to 6 ounces. It excels all other 

 plums for canning and drying, and will 

 carry for a long distance better than any 

 other kind. Matures middle of August 

 to September. Price. 30c. each; $3.00 

 per dozen. 



Red June Plum. 



Recommended as "by all odds the best 

 Japanese, ripening before Abundance." 

 One of the vigorous, upright growers; 

 productive; fair size; Vermillion red; 

 pleasant quality. Ripens a week before 

 Abundance. August, 30c. each; $2.75 per 

 dozen. 



Wickson Plum. 



Fruit remarkably handsome, very large, 

 long, heart-shaped, color deep maroon 

 red covered with white bloom; flesh 

 firm and meaty, yellow, rich and aroma- 

 tic; cling pit. 30c. each; $3.00 per 

 dozen. 



"Juicy" Plum. 



This glorious new Plum is a cross be- 

 tween Botan and Robinson. The fruit is 

 the size of the former and three times 

 larger than the latter, and of perfect 

 shape. Skin thin and transparent, light 

 yellow, underlaid with scarlet — as beau- 

 tiful as wax. In quality it seems to us 

 that there is no other fruit which can 

 approach it. It has a delicious sweetness, 

 mingling with a sprightly acid and a high, 

 melting plum flavor, surpassing anything 

 we ever saw; when fully ripe it is so 

 juicy that when the skin is broken its 

 delicious pulp flows out like honey, 30c. 

 each.
