PLUMS— Continued 
SULTAN 
Another of Mr. Biirbank's cre- 
ations. His eiulorsenient is a 
sufficient guaranty. 
Prof. Van Deman says: "Sul- 
tan is niy choice of all the new 
plums which I have tested. It 
IS a cross between Wickson ami 
•Satsunia; larye, being over two 
inches in diameter; and nearly 
round in sha|)e. The surface is 
smooth, dark wine-red or gar- 
net, and very handsome. The 
flesh is garnet color, too, and 
rich lookiiiij. In flavor it is ex- 
cellent." Price, 50 cents. 
CLIMAX PLUM 
Climax — One of liurbank's 
latest and best. Fruit lie. rt

soti and more highly col- 
ored. Very fragrant, de- 
licious, prolific and a vigf)r- 
ous grower. Ripens about 
the lime of Red June. Price
