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 curculio has no power 
over it. Fruit large, yellowish green, with 
marblings 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 appear- 
ance. Ripens early ; from middle to last of 
August here.
