JAPAN PLUMS. 
The iutroductioii of the Japan varieties of , 
Plums has placed before us a class of fruits 
that are in many respects very desirable, and 
in many localities they are fast supplanting 
the old European kinds. They are extremely 
hard.y and immensely productive, and come 
into fruiting usually the second year after 
transplanting. If you want fruit quick and 
plenty of it order the Japan varieties. For 
orchard planting the selected one-year trees 
arc preferable.

October Purple — It is a splendid grower; 
ripens up its wood early to the tips; bears 
enormously every season; fruits "all over" 
the old wood on spurs, instead of away out 
on the branches like many other varieties. 
Fruit very uniform and large. We had 
many fruits the past year measuring fully 
two inches in diameter. See cut. 
Sultan 
Abundance — Large, bright red, with yellow 
cheek; flesh light yellow, very juicy, tender, 
with delicious sweetness; annual bearer. 
Early August. 
Maynacd — In size it is very large, often meas- 
uring seven, and one-half inches in circum- 
ference. Form nearly round, slightly 
flattened at the ends, of richest crimson- 
purple, deepening to royal damask as full 
ripeness is reached. Tree hardy, vigorous 
and compact grower. Leaves dark glossy 
green. Bears immense crops of even sized 
fruit while very young; never fails. Sur- 
passes all other varieties in keeping and 
carrying qualities. Flesh firm, even when 
dead ripe, but melting and juicy, with a 
deliciousness indescribable. Will command 
the highest price in both homo and foreign 
markets. 75 cents. 
Burbank — Large, globular, cherry-red, mot- 
tled yellow color; flesh yellow, melting. 
One of the best. End of August. 
Satsuma — The fruit has a pleasant flavor, and 
unlike all others, has red flesh, with a 
remarkabl.Y small stone. One of the best 
canning varieties. September. 
Red June — (Bed Nagate.) Medium size, 
pointed; color deep red-purple; flesh yellow; 
quality good. The earliest variety. 
Wickson — Very large, glowing carmine with a 
heavy white bloom; flesh firm, sugary, deli- 
cious; stone small. 
SULTAN. 
Another of Mr. Burbank's creations. His 
(M.dorsoment is a sufficient guaranty. 
Prof. Van Deman says: "Sultan is mj 
choice of all the new plums which I have
