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. 
Quince Trees. 
We have added to our assortment of 
fruit trees the Quince, which will do well 
in our climate. Quince trees, the fruit 
of which is used for preserving, are very 
ornamental, and bear well. We handle 
the Orange, Meeches’ Prolific and Japan- 
ese varieties, which we sell at 50c. each. 
Extra large size, $1.50. 
Apricots. 
The fruit of the Apricot is similar in 
shape to the Peach, except that it is not 
downy and is almost perfectly smooth. 
The leaves are cordate or heart-shaped 
and not long as Peach leaves, and the 
bark of the wood is coarse grained and 
not smooth and glossy like Peach wood. 
Apricots should not be confounded with |
