medium to large, deep Vermillion red, with hand- 
some bloom, very showy; flesh light lemon yellow,

half cling; pit small. Ripens a few days after 
Willard, and is the best in quality of any of the 
early varieties. 
Stoddard* (Native.) One of the largest, perhaps 
the largest, of the native plums originated in 
Iowa. It is of light pinkish red color, very hand- 
some, with a tough, sweet skin an 1 of most excel- 
lent quality'. 
Tatgre. (Eup.) Originated at Belle Plain, Iowa, 
about twenty-five years ago; has stood the winters 
unharmed; evidently a seedling of the Lombard; 
is larger, rounder, of darker color and finer quality 
than that variety. Claimed in Iowa the most productive and longest-lived plum known. 
Willard. (Japan.) Earliest of all the Japan Plums, and hence very valuable for market.

bright claret-red, with many minute dots; firm white flesh; freestone. Very handsome 
when well ripened, and will keep a long time. 
WickSOIl* (Japan.) This is another of Burbank’s creations, and the largest of all plums 
Tree a vigorous grower, an early and productive bearer. Grafts set in 1895, fruited in 
1896. showing superb specimens of fruit almost as large as turkey’s eggs. From time 
fruit is half grown till nearly ripe it is of a pearly white color; quickly soft, pink shad- 
ings creep over it till in a few days it is changed to a deep crimson, covered with a light 
bloom. Pit small; flesh tender, sweet and delicious; season just following Burbank.
