Plum. 
Wickson. This new plum is a cross of Kelsey Japan and Burbank Plums. The following are the 
remarks o( an expert fruit specialist upon the merits of this variety: ' ' Among the many thousand 
Japan Plums which I have fruited, this one so far stands preeminent in its rare combination of good 
qua ities. The tree grows in vase form, sturdy and upright, yet as gracefully branching as 
could be desired, and is productive almost to a fault. The fruit is evenly distributed all over the tree, 
and from the time it is half grown until a few days before ripening is of a pearly-white color, but all 
at once soft pink sliadings creep over it and in a few days it has changed to a glowing carmine with 
heavy white bloom; the pit is small and the flesh is of a fine texture, firm, sugary, and delicious; 
\vill keep two w^eeks or more after ripening, or can be picked when hard and will color and ripen 
almost as well as if left on the tree." A great many samples of this fruit were shipped to the Eastern 
States and all arrived in excellent condition, which speaks well as to its shipping qualities. It ripens 
before Satsmna and after Burbank. Price, 4 to 6 feet, $1.50 each (as long as they last). Dormant 
bud, 50c each. This and the preceding were introduced by Mr. Luther Burbank. 
Pomelo {Citrus pomelanus). Qrape Fruit. 
In size between the orange and shaddock; skin smooth, pale yellow, varies in thickness. Membrane 
dividing the pulp is bitter and should be removed before eating; pulp sub-acid, very refreshing. 
The fruit has great tonic properties and is largely used by persons in delicate health as an appe- 
tizer. It is becoming very popular in the eastern cities. The past season (1895) they sold for from 
$6.00 to 19.00 per box (caused somewhat by the freeze in Florida). The tree is very beautiful in 
foliage and attracts much attention when fruiting. It often bears its fruit in clusters. Price, budded 
trees, 3 to 5 feet, $1.50 each. 
Small Fruits. 
Gooseberry. 
Corliss' Seedling. Fruit very large, of a bright-green color, shaded yellow; it is most deliciously 
sweet when ripe, but quite tart when two-thirds ripe. It is an enormous bearer, commencing to bear 
very young. It is a strong grower and entirely mildew, proof. Price, 50c each. 
Blackberry. 
Humboldt. Is entirely different in flavor from all other blackberries, being very aromatic, delicious 
and fine. Price, 30c each. 
Raspljerry — Red. 
First and Best. A magnificent red raspberry, undoubtedly two weeks earlier than any other Ameri- 
can red raspberry; sweet, deliciously flavored; good size; splendid shipper; enormous cropper. This 
variety is different from all other raspberries, as the fruit-buds spring out from the old wood in the 
earliest spring; if killed by frosts a new crop will immediately follow, so that a crop is always in- 
sured. Price, 25c each; ^2.00 per 10. 
Raspberry — Black-Cap. 
Qault Perpetual. This new black cap variety was a stray seedling discovered growing by the roadside 
in Ohio. The first crop commences ripening about the time of the Gregg, is more abundant and 
continues in bearing for three or four weeks, by which time the new canes begin to fruit and con- 
tinue till checked by frost. This latter crop does not consist of a few scattering berries, but of 
immense clusters, often numbering 100 berries on a single cane. The fruit is of delicious flavor; of 
immense size 'some crown berries having measured 3 inches in circumference. It is a constant and 
regular bearer In this connection would say that black cap raspberries make excellent dried 
fruit. Price, 25c each. 
Raspberry — Yel low-Cap. 
Himalayan. Fruit yellow; delicious and fine. Canes very large, covered with purplish hairs. Price, 
35c each. 
Currant. 
White Imperial. A large, rich, sweet, white variety of great productiveness. Price, 2sc each. 
Strawberry-Raspberry {Rubus sarbifolius).

flavored; very prolific and hardy. Price, 35c each. 
Japanese Golden Mayberry. 
This remarkable new fruit is valued principally for its earliness, ripening with the earliest strawberries. 
The fruit is large, golden colored; very delicious and fine; very productive. It takes longer than 
other berries to come into bearing. Introduced by Mr. Luther Burbank. Price, 35c each; I3.00 
per 10.

Whitney. The berries are of enormous size, of a golden-red color; deliciously sweet; exceedingly 
productive. Price, f 1.25 per 12; fS.oo per 100.
