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 
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.
