The trees come into bearing two and three years after planting and in such variety and season of ripen- 

 ing as to cover a period of three months with a daily supply of most luscious plums. The trees grow quickly, 

 produce abundantly , fruit large and fine ; are much less liable to black-knot than the European varieties and 

 are never seriously injured by the curculio. They are beautiful in appearance, superior in quality and many 

 of them will keep from ten days to two weeks after picking, a great point in their favor for marketing. 



Burbank — The fruit is usually from 5 to 5J inches in 

 circumference. The flesh is a deep-yellow color, 

 very sweet, with a peculiar and agreeable flavor ; 

 tree vigorous ; commences to bear usually at two 

 years of age. 



Botankio— Very vigorous grower ; fruit large, round- 

 ish ; yellow, nearly covered with reddish-purple, 

 and blue bloom ; sugary and sub-acid near the 

 skin. Quality very good. A showy and prolific 

 variety. 



Bailey — Fruit large, skin rich orange, overspread with 

 ligljt and bright cherry red, and showing many 

 minute orange dots ; flesh thick and melting, yel- 

 low, of excellent quality. Tree strong and up 

 right, productive. Clobely related to Burbank, but 

 rounder and mostly larger, and a week or more 

 later. 



Berckmans (True Sweet Botan, Sweet Botan, White- 

 Fleshed Botan) — Medium to large, broadly and ob- 

 tusely conical ; deep blood red if ripened in the 

 sun ; flesh very sweet, excellent in quality ; cling 

 or semi-cling. Eipens with Abundance, or just 

 ahead of it. One of the best. 



Gbabot — Yellow, nearly covered with carmine- red ; 

 flesh orange-yellow, very solid, sub acid; quality 

 very good, and is very prolific; it is a strong 

 grower ; quality of fruit is excellent ; it is very at- 

 tractive in appearance ; and in addition to its many 

 other good qualities, we find that it is the best 

 keeper of all the plums that we have ever fruited, 

 tiiua making it a very valuable market plum. 



Hattankio— Skin bright yellow, flesh yellow, juicy, 

 sub acid, Gage flavor ; quality very good. Very 

 prolific and an excellent early market as well as 

 dessert fruit. 



Ogon — Large, nearly round ; of bright golden yellow? 

 flesh firm, sweet, rich and dry ; ripens a little ear- 

 lier than Abundance or Botan and is the most free 

 of all plums. The tree is vigorous and entirely 

 hardy. 



Red Nagate (Eed June) — New. Fruit medium to 

 large, deep vermilion red over all, with a hand- 

 some bloom, very showy ; flesh light lemon-yellow 

 or whitish, firm and moderately juicy, not stringy, 

 plightly sub-acid to pweptish, of good pleasant 

 quality ; cling to half cling ; pit small. Tree vigor- 

 ous and productive. This new variety is attracting 

 great attention everywhere among orchardists, and 

 is being extensively planted. 



Satsuma Blood— Vigorous growth ; productive ; skin 

 dark; flesh firm, juicy, dark red or blood color; 

 well flavored. Pit very little larger than a cherry 

 stone. Fruits at two or three years of age. 



Willard — Medium size, round ; color dark red, with 

 minute yellow dots ; yellow fleshed, sweet and of 

 fair quality. The earliest profitable market plum 

 yet tested. The tree is very distinct and hardy, 

 and matures its foliage earlier than any other Jap- 

 anese variety, which is quite an important feature 

 with this race of plums.
