E. W. REID’S CATALOGUE OF SMALL FRUITS, ETC.

SPAULDING PLUM. 
The first of a new race of curculio-proof plums. Has never failed to produce a full 
crop in 20 years, and is so enormously productive as to bend the limbs in a rainbow curve 
The curoulio has no power over it. Fruit large, yellowish green, with raarbliugs of a 
deeper green and a delicate white bloom; flesh, pale yellow, exceedingly firm, of sugary 
sweetness, though sprightly and of great richness. The canned fruit is simply superb, 
and presents a most attractive' appearance. The fruit has been selling here for many 
years at $1 a peck. Tree as 'exceptional in its vigor as a Kieffer or Le Conte pear. Ripens 
early ; from middle to last of August here. First class, T5 cts. 
each, $7.50 per doz., $50peri00. ' 
abundance plum. 
This is a remarkable fruit indeed. It is unlike any other 
plum. In growth it is so strong and handsome as to render it 
worthy of being planted as an ornamental tree— equaling in thrift 
and beauty Kieffer pear, which it even excels in early and profuse 
bearing. It is exceedihgly hardy. Its propensity for early bear- 
ing is such that it loads in the nursery row, bending the limbs 
with the weight of fruit until they sometimes break, and this is 
the case every .year— the cureulio having no effect upon it, the 
eggs failing to hatch and produce the destructive grub the same 
as with the Spaulding. We have seen even little one year old 
saplings but two feet high, white with bloom and set heavily with 
large, fine plums. The fruit is very large, showy and beautiful. 
Amber, turning to a rich bright cherry color, with a decided white 
bloom, and highly perfumed. Flesh light yellow, exceedingly 
juicy and tender, and of a delicious sweetness impossible to de- 
scribe. First-class, $1 each, $10 per doz., $75 per 100.
