Fruit, Nut and Shade Trees. 



JAPANESE OR ORIENTAL 

 PLUMS. 



This new strain of Plums has been received with 

 g'eneral favor, and in the South, where the Eu- 

 ropean kinds do not succeed as well as at the 

 North, they have proved a blessing. In some sec- 

 tions where the Chickasaw or native kinds (Wild 

 Goose, etc.) only are successful, the Japanese kinds 

 are especially welcome, as they rate up in quality 

 quite well with the very best European varieties. 



One very valuable quality of the Japanese Plum 

 is, that the wound made by the curculio (an enemy 

 to Plum culture everywhere), does not seem to af- 

 fect the Japan kinds to the same extent as Epro- 

 pean and other kinds; while they are not curculio 

 proof entirely, yet for some reason the wound soon 

 neals and the fruit matures perfectly. This may 

 be attributed to the extremely strong and vigorous 

 nature of both tree and fruit, as it appears to be 

 able to resist and outgrow the trouble. But with 

 the improved pumps and spraying apparatus, now 

 so largely in use, tuere need be no fear of curculio 

 or other fruit pests if directions on page 6 are fol- 

 lowed. It is a mistaken idea to suppose that Plums 

 are a tropical fruit, because they are grown in 

 Japan in same latitude as Northern New York. 



BOTAN, or ABUNDANCE.— Lemon yellow 

 ground, nearly overspread with cherry, with heavy 

 bloom; flesh yellow, very juicy; subacid, with apri- 

 cot flavor; highly perfumed; stone small; the tree 

 is exceedingly nardy, and bears regularly; nearly 

 curculio proof; early and heavy bearer; the best 

 of its class. First of August. 



SIMONII (Apricot PlTim).— Origin China. Fruit 

 large, tomato-shaped, cinnamon-red color; flesh is 

 firm, sweet, aromatic; the flavor is delicious, and 

 not found in any other plum, being similar to that 

 of a pineapple, nectarine and banana; a beautiful 

 and valuable plum. We believe it has come to 

 stay; tree a strong grower, bearing young. 



BURBAAK.— Resembles the Abundance in' many 

 ways; globular, large, cherry red, with slight lilac 

 bloom; flesh deep yellow, very sweet, with pleasant 

 and agreeable flavor; strong grower; bears early, 

 often at second year. September 1st.

NUT-BEARING TREES. 



All over the country there is a rapidly growing in- 

 terest in nut culture. The demand for nuts is great; 

 the markets are poorly supplied, and the prices too 

 high. Palatable and wholesome as they are, they 

 should be come a common article of food here, as
