THE BUTLER & JEWELL CO. 
Wickson. (Natural size.) 
PLUMS, continued. 
Wickson. Mr. Burbank considers this the very best of the 
Japanese type of Plum. Very large, handsome; glowing carmine 
color; flesh of fine texture, firm, sugary and delicious; small stone, 
good keeper. Late September. Tree and bud as hardy as Burbank. 
One man reports a 3-foot tree, purchased last spring, as maturing 
three Plums the past season. The smallest trees of this variety we 
offer this season are larger than the tree which bore these Plums 
was when set. Be sure and secure a stock of this grand variety.
