Plum: "A very handsome, large, round-cordate Plum; usually lop-sid- 
ed; orange, thinly overlaid with mottled red, so as to have a yellowish- 
red appearance, or, in well-colored specimens, deep cherry-red with yel- 
low specks; flesh, |yellow, soft and juicy (yet a good keeper), not stringy, 
with a very delicious, slightly acid peachy flavor; skin somewhat sour; 
cling; very late. I know the fruit only from specimens sent at two or 
three different times by Luther Burbank. To my taste, these speci- 
mens have been the best in quality of all the Japanese Plums." 
Wickson. New. One of the latest of Mr. Burbank's introduc- 
tions. That he recommends it alone makes it worthy of a trial by 
all. A cross between Kelsey and Burbank. Mr. Burbank says of it: 
" From the time it is half grown until a few days bef'^re ripening, 
the fruit is of a pearly white color, but all at once soft pink shadings 
creep over it, and in a few days it has changed to a glowing carmine, 
with a heavy white bloom ; the stone is small and the flesh is of fine 
texture, firm, sugary and delicious, and will keep two weeks or more 
after ripening, or can be picked when hard and white, and will color 
and ripen almost as well as if left on the tree.

Chabot. Prof. Bailey says of this variety: "This Plum de- 
serves all that has been said of it. General appearance of fruit like 
Burbank, from one to three weeks later, ripening this year, 1897, 
September 15 to 25."

MONEY GETTERS. \ ^^.j^^jj experience and observation 
Bl<, t-r- — — — ^® we believe they have 7/a/iie com- 
mercially. A peculiar feature about these Japan varieties is their 
early bearing qualities, frequently producing fruit the second year 
from planting, and so far we have seen no indication of black knot.

Scarcely any fruit will pay better in the orchard. The tree 
is hardy and compact in growth, requiring but little space ; 
productive, gives regular crops, and comes early into bearing. The 
fruit is much sought after for canning for winter use. When put up 
in the proportion of about one quart of Quinces to four quarts of 
other fruit, imparts a delicious flavor.
