French (Petite d'Agen) . The well-known variety 
so extensively planted for di'ying; medium size, 
egrg-shaped, violet purple; juicy, very sweet, 
rich and sugary; very prolific. August. 
German. Long, oval and swollen on one side; 
skin purple, with a thick blue bloom; flesh 
firm, green, sweet, with a peculiar pleasant 
flavor. September. 
Hungarian ( Grosse Prune, Pond's Seedling) . 
Very large, dark red, juicy and sweet. Its 
large size, bright color, productiveness and 
shipping qualities render it a profitable variety 
for home or distant market. September. 
Imperiale Epineuse (Claric Mammoth). This has 
proved to be the largest and finest prune cul- 
tivated in California. With its uniformly large 
size, reddish or light purple color, thin skin, 
sweetness and high flavor, it stands ahead of 
all other prunes. It contains more sugar than 
the French Prune. Analysis shows 20.4 per 
cent for the Imperiale Epineuse and 18.53 per 
cent for the average of the French Prune. Sixty 
to eighty per cent of the dried prunes of the 
Imperiale Epineuse will average 20 to 30 to the 
pound. Always commands the highest price 
in the markets. August. 
Robe ce Sargent. Medium size; oval; skin deep 
purple, approaching to black, and covered with 
a thick blue bloom; flesh greenish yellow, sweet 
and well flavored, sugary, rich and delicious; 
a valuable drying and preserving variety. 
Dries larger and darker than French. August. 
A seedling of Coe's Golden Drop, with 
which it is almost identical. Bears heavily in 
some districts. September. 
Standard. Originated by Burbank. A very meri- 
torious variety for shipping green. Thus far 
not much in demand for drying purposes. Sep- 
tember. 
Sugar. Extremely early, very large; cures 
superbly rich, with a yellow flesh, tender and 
rich in sugar; skin very tender, at first of a 
light purple, tinted with green, changing at 
maturity to dark purple, covered with a thick, 
white bloom. Valuable in localities where the 
French Prune ripens too late for sun drying. 
Contains almost 24 per cent sugar. Tree an 
unusually vigorous grower and very produc- 
tive. August. 
Tragedy. Medium size; skin dark purple; flesh 
yellowish green ; very rich and sweet ; free- 
stone. Its early ripening makes it very valu- 
able for shipping. July. 
Double X French Prune 
This is a genuine bud sport of the French 
Prune, taking its origin in the famous Saratoga 
Prune district on the F. B. Smith place in Sapta 
Clara County, Calif. 
Of all the new types of French Prunes origi- 
nated in recent years, this one gives promise of 
becoming a standard. It is only after careful 
observation of several orchards in this district, 
ranging from five to seven years, that we con- 
cluded to offer it for sale. The trees are remark- 
ably strong growers, exceeding any other variety 
of prune. The bearing qualities of the trees 
have been fully demonstrated and the trees bear 
equally as well as the common French Prune.
