JAPANESE PLUMS 
Many valuable fruits and flowers have come 
to us from Japan, but in many respects the most 
valuable are the Plums that have been recently 
introduced from that country. The trees are 
hardy and perfectly healthy; they are remarkably 
strong and beautiful growers, coming into bear- 
ing very early— orchard trees often bearing the 
second season after transplanting. The Japanese 
Plums yield immense crops of fruit which are 
practically exempt from the attacks of the 
curculio. In these varieties it is easy to have a 
succession of fruits, as, by proper selection, it 
is possible to extend the period of fruiting over 
about three months.

rich, bright cherry; flesh light yellow, juicy, 
tender and sweet. Trees exceedingly productive.
