PLUMS. 
Since the introduction of the Japan varieties, which are almost curculio-proof, no one need be without Plums 
from June till 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 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.

New Varieties of JAPAN PLUMS. 
THE HALE PLUM. 
This new Plum was originated by Luther Burbank, the "Wizard of 
Horticulture,” who says of it: "In the hedgerow of seedlings this 
was the most vigorous, most productive, handsomest, most uni- 
form and, next to Wickson, the best flavored of any Japan Plum I 
have ever seen. I do not know of any fruit that will keep longer.” 
Most vigorous of all the Japans. Fruit large, bright orange, mottled 
with cherry-red. Superb in quality, fully equal to Imperial Gage; 
none so fine for the family. Ripens middle of September. Price, 
first-class, 40 cts. each, $4 per doz. ; medium, 30 cts. each, $3 per doz. ; 
second-class, 25c, each, $2. 50 per doz.; mail size, postpaid, 25c. each.
