PLUMS— Contin ued 
SULTAN. 
Another of Mr. Burbank's cre- 
ations. His endorsement is a 
sufficient guaranty. 
Prof. Van Deman says: "Sul- 
tan is my choice of all the new 
plums which I have tested. It 
is a cross between Wickson and 
.Satsuma; large, being over two 
inches in diameter; and nearly 
round in shape. The surface is 
smooth, dark wine-red or gar- 
net, and very handsome. The 
flesh is garnet color, too, and 
rich looking. In flavor it is ex- 
cellent." Price, 50 cents. 
CLIMAX PLUM. 
Climax — One of Burbank's 
latest and best. Fruit heart 
shaped, larger than Wick- 
son and more highly col- 
ored. Very fragrant, de- 
licious, prolific and a vigor- 
ous grower. Ripens about 
the time of Red June. Price 
50 cents. 
Our grafting wood for these 
two varieties was secured direct 
from Mr. Burbank at a cost of 
$7.50 per foot. ■ 
OCTOBER PURPLE, 3Sc. 
See Description, Page 12 
OQON, 50c. 
Ogon — Tree very vigorous and 
quite hardy, fruit large, roundish; 
bright golden yellow, with faint 
bloom; flesh firm, rich, sweet and 
dry; freestone; an excellent va- 
riety for canning; one of the earli- 
est. Late July. Price, 50 cents. 
Reine Claude — Skin yellow; flesh 
yellow, juicy and melting. Ripens 
late and can be safely left on tree 
some days after ripe, thus secur- 
ing the very best market. Of 
good quality at all times, but ex- 
tremely good when allowed to 
hang until dead ripe. Probably 
the most productive and valuable 
yellow plum for market. The 
tree is vigorous, but inclined to 
overbear. Price, 40 cents. 
Shropshire Damson — This largest 
fruit of the Damson class is much 
used for preserving. The trees 
are vigorous and enormously pro- 
ductive. Quality strictly No. 1. 
During recent years this has been 
one of the most profitable of all 
orchard varieties. -September. 
Price, 40 cents.
