WICKSON PLUM. 
This magnificent Plum was produced by Luther Burbank, the “ Wizard of Horticulture,” as the result of a 
cross between Kelsey and Burbank. 
Mr. Burbank says : ‘ ‘ Among the many thousand J apan 
Plums which I have fruited, this one, so far, stands pre- 
eminent in its rare combination of good qualities. 
“A year ago I was convinced that this was perhaps 
the best of all Japan Plums, and have yet no reason to 
change that opinion, only more than ever to admire the 
clean, sturdy, vigorous, upright growth of the trees, the 
pleasing light gray bark, the habit of ripening its wood 
hard to the very tip, its productiveness, and the rare 
beauty and keeping qualities of its fruit, both size and 
quality of which have much improved since removing from 
the original hedge-row.” Price, first-class, 50 cts. each, 
$5 per doz. ; medium, 40 cts. each, $4 per doz. ; mail size, 
40 cts. each, postpaid. 
WICKSON PLUM. 
’^SARATOGA. 
The fruit is of immense size; the largest Plum we 
have seen; of a bright reddish purple, covered with a rich 
bloom. Its shape is peculiar, not elongated, but roundish, 
and almost pear-shaped. Its large size, great beauty, fine 
quality and productiveness have attracted great attention. 
Color reddish purple, overspread with a handsome bloom. 
Tree very vigorous. August. 
LINCOLN. 
‘This marvelous Plum originated in York county, Pa., over twenty-five years ago, from seed of Green 
Gage or Reine Claude; and Lincoln was given it as an appropriate name when it first came into bearing, on 
account of its many merits of high order— Lincoln at the time being President. In color it is reddish purple, with 
a delicate bloom, very bright, showy and attractive ; flesh light yellow or amber, exceedingly juicy, rich, sweet, 
melting and luscious-^entirely free from any coarseness or toughness— parting freely from the stone. It ripens 
from the first to the middle of August, and its productiveness is simply beyond description or comprehension 
until seen. The skin is so strong as to completely protect the fruit from the attacks of the curculio.” Price, 
first-class, 40 cents each, $4 per dozen, §20 per too ; medium, 30 cents each, $3 per dozen, $17 per 100 ; second- 
class, 25 cents each, $2.50 per dozen, $15 per 100.
