PART SECOND 
WHOLESALE ONLY 
Nothing mentioned on this and the succeeding pages is for sale at retail this 
season. Not a tree, bud or graft of any of them can be had this season except by 
the purchase of the whole stock. Enterprising Fruit-growers and Nurserymen 
will understand the value of the full control of these newest of the new fruits of 
which none like them are in existence. 
IMPROVED BEACH PLUM. 
TOU might suppose the above cut represented a Huckleberry branch which had 
attempted to carry an unusual load, but no ! it is a branch three and one-half feet 
long (reduced about seven times) of our Improved Beach Plum (Prunus mari- 
tima), a full size fruit being shown at the lower left-hand corner, and one of the original, 
wild Beach plums below. The Improved Beach plum is larger than Wayland. The 
Beach plum is as hardy as about anything that grows and as productive every season as 
any fruit which mother earth produces, growing on dwarf, compact, bush-like trees. 
It has heretofore been known as a small, dull colored, bitter fruit fit to eat only when 
cooked. Our new one grows on a compact, handsome tree enlarged in all respects and 
the fruit is a beautiful deep purple, dotted white, with a white bloom and is rich and 
delicious to eat fresh from the tree, not having a trace of the original bitter taste. 
Flesh deep yellow, freestone, stone of the same size and appearance of a cherry stone. 
Fruit ripens with the common Beach plum. The trees bloom at the very end of the 
blooming season, later than any other plum. The Beach plum has long been known to 
horticulturists to possess rare possibilities and now you have it developed beyond the 
dreams of the most enthusiastic fruit growers, who will plant them in the warm belt, in 
the frost belt, in the fertile belt, in the barren belt and produce an abundance of plums 
where plums would not grow before. 
Price for the whole stock and control, $1,000. Grafting wood will be sold this season 
at $100 per foot, if the whole stock is not purchased by February 15th. No wood de- 
livered until that date.
