A New Plum— THE "BARTLETT." ^ 



The wonderful combinations which can be made in fruits, will always be a 

 surprise, even to those who have studiously prepared the way for them. Who 

 could have believed that a plum would ever be produced which would in quality, 

 flavor and fragrance be exactly like the ever- 

 popular Bartlett pear? Yet, such are the facts, 

 but the "BARTLETT" plum is so much 

 superior to the Bartlett pear in its own peculiar 

 fragrance and flavor, that no one will ever eat 

 the pear if this plum is at hand; and, better yet, 

 it bears the second season, and will produce 

 more fruit in ten years than the Bartlett pear 

 will in twenty. Strange to say, the tree also 

 grows upright, like its namesake the pear, and 

 with its dark green leaves, which glisten as if 

 highly polished, makes an ornamental tree 

 almost unequaled. 



The fruit is oval, yellow mostly over- 

 spread with crimson, turning to deep crimson bartlett. 

 when fully ripe, with flakes and dots of yellow. 



Light salmon colored flesh, rather firm yet juicy. 



Seed medium size, long flat, semi-free. Ripens just before the BUR- 

 BANK." Cross of Simoni and one of my older hybrids, the " Delaware." 



" The ' BARTLETT ' plum is a perfect freestone, very beautiful in color, of extra 

 fine quality, just like a Bartlett pear."— H. Knudson, Minn.
