♦ABUNDANCE (Botan). Beautiful lemon-yellow ground, 
nearly overspread with bright cherry and with a heavy 
bloom ; large to very large, oblong, tapering to the point 
like Wild Goose; flesh orange-yellow, melting, rich and 
highly perfumed. Abundant and annual bearer. Tree a 
vigorous, upright grower. Has been thoroughly tested, 
and is highly recommended. July. 
♦BURBANK. Very similar to Abundance, but of deeper 
color, and ripens later in the season. The fruit is large, 
nearly globular, clear cherry-red, with a thin lilac bloom ; 
flesh a deep yellow, very sweet, with a peculiar and agree- 
able flavor; the tree is a vigorous grower, with large and 
broad leaves ; usually begins to bear second year after 
transplanting. August. 
♦CHABOT. Medium to large (size of Burbank); cherry- 
red; flesh yellow, sweet, of excellent quality; very pro- 
Abundance pium. ljf lc ; a n excellent Plum. Early September. 
OGON. Medium size; clear lemon-yellow, with light bloom; flesh thick, meaty, dry, firm; freestone; long 
keeper ; second quality ; excellent for canning ; moderately productive. August. 
RED JUNE. A vigorous, hardy, upright, spreading tree, as productive as Abundance. Fruit medium to 
large, deep vermilion-red, with handsome bloom, very showy ; flesh light lemon-yellow, slightly subacid, of 
good and pleasant quality, half cling, pit small. Ripens a few days after Willard, and is the best in quality of 
any of the early varieties. 
♦SATSUMA. Fruit medium to large ; broadly conical, with a blunt, short point ; suture very deep ; skin very 
dark and dull red all over, with greenish dots and an under color of brown-red ; firm, very juicy ; quality good ; 
free. Midseason. 
SIHONI (Apricot Plum). Fruit bright red, flat; flesh apricot-yellow, firm, with a peculiar aromatic flavor 
not found in any other Plum. Of little value save as a novelty. September. 
WILLARD. Highly praised by leading horticulturists as 
one of the best of this class. Tree is a good grower, im- 
mensely productive, much earlier than Abundance, and of 
good quality. 
LINCOLN. This marvelous Plum originated in York county, 
Pa., over twenty-five years ago. In color it is reddish purple, 
with a delicate bloom ; very bright, showy and attractive ; flesh 
light yellow or amber, exceedingly juicy and luscious.

thin ; flesh firm, of good quality ; large size, strong grower 
and productive.

for market yet offered.

ductions from England. Tree robust, with dense foliage ; 
an abundant bearer. Fruit very large, roundish oval, dark 
purple-blue ; perfect freestone.
