of August. 
Pond's Seedling. — (Hungarian Prune) — A 
magnificent English plum; light red, changing

Shipper's Pride.— The fruit is of large size, 
it being no uncommon occurrence to find speci- 
mens measuring two inches in diameter each 
way, as it is nearly round; it is what Mr. 
Charles Downing calls a semi-cling, of a hand- 
some, dark purple color; excellent for canning 
and an unusually good shipper, arriving at its 
destination in good order, and keeping a long 
time in excellent condition. 
Shropshire Damson. — A medium sized, dark 
purple variety; esteemed for preserving. Very 
productive. October. 
Tennant Prune. — Originated in Oregon. New

surpass in all respects our largest and best 
prunes.

the best of the prune family and very like the 
Italian prune in most respects. Splendid for 
drying, canning or using fresh.
