KEI/SEY'S JAPAN PI/UM. 



The Prunus Domestica. or European varieties, have proven worthless in the South 

 generally. The above will take their place promising good results, being of Asiatic origin. 

 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 magnificent 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. It haa fruited in this neighbor- 

 hood since five years, it is a most delicious fruit, and every (me who plants fruit trees 

 should not fail to plant some. We consider it a great acquisition. Price, 25 cents each; 

 $2.00 per dozen.

The Japanese Mespilus, 

 which by the way is an old 

 stand-by in our climate, has 

 been cultivated here lor over 

 a century and is too well 

 known to require any de- 

 scription. Since about ten 

 or fifteen years the atten- 

 tion of our fruit growers and 

 nurserymen had been called 



o the growing of Orange, 

 Pear. Plum and Pecan trees, 



ind the hardiest of all, the 

 fapanese Mespilus, were neg- 

 lected. By special arrange- 

 ment with one of the best 

 nurserymen we have been 

 enabled to secure a lot of 

 very fine branched trees, 

 which we offer at 75c. and 

 $1 each.
