color, and ripens later in the season. The fruit is large, nearly

yellow, very sweet, with a peculiar and agreeable flavor; tho tree

flesh yellow, sweet, of excellent quality; very prolific; an excel- 
lent Plum. Early September. 
OCON. Medium size; clear lemon-yellow, with light bloom; 
flesh thick, meaty, dry, firm, freestone; long keeper; second qual- 
ity; excellent for canning; moderately productive. August. 
SI MON I (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. 
Chabot Plum. 
♦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.” 
LINCOLN. "This marvelous Plum originated in York 
county. Pa., over 25 years ago, from seed of Green Gage 
or Reine Claude. 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 yel- 
low or amber, exceedingly jui«y, rich, sweet, melting and 
luscious — entirely free from any coarseness or toughness— 
parting freely from the stone. It ripens from first to mid- 
dle 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.” See last page of cover. Prices, first-class,

thin; flesh firm, good quality; the earliest Plum in the world.
