PLUMS. 
Since the introduction of the Japan varieties, which are almost curculio-proof, no one need be without Plums 
from June t.ll September Plum trees bear at an early age, and the yield of the Japan varieties is surprising 
they often come into bearing at two years from planting. The surprising, 
trees are vigorous, and the fruit is beautiful in appearance and 
superb in quality. We know of no better investment than a 
good Plum orchard.

of any Japan Plum I have ever seen. I do not 
know of any fruit that will keep longer.” Most vig-
