ALBANY NURSERIES, Incorporated 
SULTAN— Also known as Occident; a rapid, compact grower; very pro- 
ductive; fruit falls like apples soon as ripe; fruit large spherical; dull red, 
with blue bloom; delicious, sub-acid; one of the best for cooking; fine keeper 
and shipper; will attract attention anywhere by their unusual size and beauty 
of form and color. Ripens about a week before Burbank. 
TATGE— Another new plum of the Domestic type that bids fair to rival 
all others in its class; it is of the Lombard family; originated in Iowa- a 
good grower; comes early into bearing and is immensely productive. 
WASHINGTON— All things considered, this is one of the finest and most 
popular plums; fruit very large, roundish oval; skin yellow, with a slight 
crimson blush in well ripened specimens; flesh very sweet and luscious; tree 
vigorous, with broad handsome foliage; very productive. Last of August. 
WEAVER-Pruit large; purple, with bloom; of good quality; a constant 
and regular bearer; tree hardy and thrifty grower. 
WICKSON— Originated with Luther Burbank of Santa Rosa, California, 
and considered by him to be among the best of the Japan plums; the tree is 
a strong, vigorous, upright grower, even more so than the Simoni Plum 
which it very much resembles in habit, except that the leaves are much 
broader; it is a cross with Satsuma on Kelsey bloom; formed like the Kelsey, 
but more sy metrical; in ripening the color changes from a deep cherry red to 
a rich claret; flesh amber, very juicy; pit is small; the flavor is striking and 
agreeable; a valuable shipping plum. 
WILLARD Earliest of Japan plums and hence very valuable ior market; 
a strong vigorous, hardy tree; very productive; fruit a medium size; bright 
claret red with many minute dots; firm, white flesh; free stone. 
WILD GOOSE A variety of the Chickasaw; medium; roundish oblong; 
reddish yellow; valuable and profitable at the south and southwest, where 
the European plum will not succeed; tree a free grower. Middle of August. 
YELLOW EGG— Very large; skin of a deep golden color, covered with a 
white bloom; juicy, but rather acid; an excellent variety for cooking; very 
showy, and when fully ripe a most attractive dessert plum. 
PRUNES . 
We follow the distinction made between plums and prunes, as is common 
in the horticultural literature of the Pacific Coast. By the term “prune” is 
signified a plum which dries successfully without the removal of the pit and 
produces a sweet, dried fruit, though in the confusion of our nomenclature 
not even this broad classification is faithfully followed. For example- We 
have the “Hungarian Prune” as a local traditional name for “Pond’s" Seed- 
ling Plum ’ which has no value as a prune. 
DOSCH-Introduced by Hon. H. E. Dosch, after whom it is named. Origi- 
nated near Portland, Oregon, about 10 years ago. Color purple, very large- 
flesh juicy delicious, sweeter than the Italian but not so sweet as the Petite!
