The Japanese Plums are a distinct class. They are wonderfulh- productive, hardy and vigorous, with large foliage, coming into bear- 
ing very younic. Tlie fruit is large, attractive in appearance, of "excellent quality, and ship.s well. These Plums are adapted to all 
sections, and should be included in every collection.

Excellent for canning. (Illustrated on page 31.) 
Burbank. Clear cherry red, with lilac bloom; deep yellow flesh; very 
sweet, peculiar and agreeable flavor. (Illustrated on page 31.) 
Hale. New. As described by the introducer, it is the most vigorous tree 
of all the Japans, an upright, compact grower, that requires an annual 
thinning out of the head for the best results of fruitage. Besides an abun- 
dance of fruit-buds all over the tree, there are numerous short fruit-spurs 
all through the inside of the tree-head, and should spring frosts ever come 
when trees are in bloom, there are enough of fruit-buds on these inside 
spurs to give a full crop, even though all on the outside be killed! This 
strong point in the Hale is not possessed by any other of the Japan Plums, 
and ought to insure its fruitage iu years when most others fail. To a gentle- 
man in reiiiisylvauiu, Luther Burbank recently wrote: "Hale Plum will 
yield enough fruit to suit anybody, and every season, too!" Fruit large, 
bright orange, mottled witlncherry red. Superb in quality: fully equal to 
Imperial Gage; none so fine for the family. Mid-September. 
Satsuma. Dark purplish red, mottled; globular in shape; flesh purple- 
red, fiinn, juicy, very good. Enonnously productive and very vigorous. 
The favorite Plum of all for canning and preserving. A good, attractive 
seller. 
dJ^J^We believe orchards of Japan Plums to be paying investments, espe- 
cially in the neighborhood of good markets. 
PEACHES. 
Peaches thrive best on warm, light, moderately rich soil. The ground should be kept clean and cultivated. An occasional top- 
dressiug of wcod ashes, kainit or slaked lime about the roots will be of advantage. The trees should branch low, not having more than 
three or four f jet of trunk. When a tree is too thick to let iu air and light freely, it should be thinned out ; and when a leading shoot is 
pushing up too far, it should be cut back. Trees should grow broad, rather than high, to suffer less from wind and to facilitate 
gathering fruit. 
Extra size, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz., $15 per 100. 4 to 6 ft., 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $7 per 100, $60 per 1,000.
