ate grower. Sept. 
Lombard — A favorite with plum growers, of medium 
size; oval violet red; flesh yellow, juicy and 
pleasant Tree very vigorous, a great bearer, 
and peculiarly well adapted to light soils. In my 
experience it outyields all other varieties, yet all 
varieties of Plums are remarkably productive. 
The fruit usually hangs so thick that one should 
thin out one half. The more you thin it the 
larger and better the fruit. Sept. 
Monarch— Of the largest size, even larger than 
Grand Duke; brilliant bluish purple. Free from 
rot and disease, and of extra good quality. One 
of the very best for home or market Sept 
Bradshaw— A fine early plum; very large; dark 
violet red; juicy and good. Tree erect and vig- 
orous. As regards productiveness it has no equal. 
To produce the finest fruit heavy thinning should 
be practiced. The quality is excellent, and is 
destined to become one of the most popular 
Plums for canning. This plum is very largely 
planted throughout Western New York. Valuable 
for market and home use. Aug. 
Beauty of Naples— Large size; color greenish yellow; 
flesh firm, juicy and very fine flavored. Tree 
very hardy and prolific. Middle of Sept.
