Cross-bred Japan Plum "Dklawark." (Life Size.) 



Cross-bred Japan Plum. 



Delaware. 



Everj'body appreciates the wonderful combination of flavors so charmingly 

 put up, combining as it does in its rich, purplish, wine-colored flesh and abun- 

 dant juices the flavors of apricot, plum, grape, nectarine and watermelon, and 

 some other new and undefinable ones. The size and shape of the fruit is well 

 shown in the cut; color dark purplish bronze with a white bloom. Par excel- 

 lence the fruit for home use. The trees are semi-dwarf, and productive almost 

 to a fault. The fruit is larger and finer when grown by top-grafting into large 

 Peach or Plum trees. Ripens here first of August. Seedling of Satsuma 

 crossed with Kelsey. 



Stock on hand: One small tree and a few grafts. Price, $500. 



" Prof L. H. Bailey in speaking recently of the Japan Plums as a class said, ' I consider 

 this the most important type of fruit which has been introduced within the past twenty-five 

 3-ears. ' 



"The Burbank is so fine that we have faith in anything you recommend."

 light red with a white bloom; firm and sweet and yet juicy. The tree is a sttirdy, 

 handsome, upright btit moderate grower and requires \ ery little attention. 

 The fruit can be handled like Apples, and will keep a long time. Seedling oi 

 Satsuma. 



Stock on hand: One small tree. Price for stock and control, $500. 



" I am glad to know that you are so wide awake as to the necessity of being sure that 

 we kfiOcV that a Plum is Japanese or not. You have rare advantages for testing so many 

 kinds of fruit from that interesting country."
