TWENTIETH CENTURY FRUITS

A New Cherry-The "Giant" 
The largest cherry in the world. Four cherries weighed one ounce, 
and eleven well grown fruits measured, side by side, twelve inches. Has 
an extremely small pit with a maximum of flesh. 
This enormous cherry outclasses all others in its combination of size, 
quality, and productiveness. The fruit is glossy black, rich, sweet, deli- 
cious, being much more productive, a week earlier, handsomer, and 
better than "Bing," which has heretofore been classed as the largest 
black cherry. 
Foliage large and heavy, tree rapid, sturdy, well formed grower, with 
very large wood. Ripens in California about June 20th. 
Trees, one year, 75c; three, $1.75; ten, $4. 
New Hybrid Plum— " Gee whiz" 
One of the most delicious of the many seedlings of my hybrid 
"America" which, with "Gold," was introduced in 1898. This and "Gold" 
— both of which originated on my farms — were the first hybrids ever 
produced by crossing the American and Japanese species of plums. Both 
have proved as hardy in the far North as the natives, and being much 
larger and handsomer, have been widely grown. "GEEWHIZ," while 
inheriting all their good qualities, is larger, handsomer, and incom- 
parably more delicious. No plum now known surpasses it in quality. 
Fruit globular, two inches in diameter, crimson blush with numerous 
crimson dots on yellow ground. Flesh firm, pale amber, apricot-like in 
texture. Exquisitely rich, freestone, good keeper, ripens early — July 25th 
to August 10th. 
Trees, each, $1; two, $1.75; ten, $7. 
New Plum— The "Gigantic" 
This is the most remarkable plum in size ever produced, being the 
largest plum on earth. It is a good keeper and is green in color, until 
ripe, when it turns a clear lemon yellow. Nearly freestone. The flesh 
is a lemon yellow and is sweet and fine. 
A delightful plum when fresh and of excellent quality when canned 
or cooked; canning firm and white. Ripens from August 20th to Sep- 
tember 15th. 
Trees, one year, 60c; three, $1.50; ten, $3.
