THE BUTLER & JEWELL CO, 
PLUMS, continued. 
for double the price of peaches and California plums, and easily had 
the preference when it became known. The fruit is a beautiful 
amber color, turning to a 
rich cherry, with a white 
bloom. Flesh light yel- 
low, exceedingly tender 
and juicy and very highly 
perfumed. Season, early 
August. Tree a handsome, 
upright grower. 
Burbank. A very pro- 
ductive, large, handsome 
and popular variety. Our 
trees of this variety, when 
loaded with ripe fruit, 
presented the handsomest 
fruit picture it was ever 
our privilege to look upon. 
The Rural New- Yurker 
of September 18, 1897, 
says: "The handsomest 
Plums we have ever seen 
were sent to us by Butler 
& Jewell, nurserymen, of 
Cromwell, Conn. — Burbanks. They were all about the same size, 
and measured 6)4 inches either way in circumference, and were, there- 
fore, nearly round. In quality they seemed a shade better than Abund- 
ance, while resembling it in color of flesh, juiciness, and meatiness." 
Note.— The above comparison is hardly fair, as our Burbanks were compared 
with someone else's Abundance. Ninety-five per cent of our customers said our 
Abundance were even better than our Burbank, in fact called them the very best 
eating Plum they ever tasted. 
Chabot, (Also sold under the names Chase, Bailey, Yellow Japan, 
Botankio, Hattankio, and 
Orient.) Medium to large, 
handsome fruit, which 
sells readily at top prices. 
Comes at a convenient sea- 
son for canning — Septem- 
ber. It resembles our 
European Plums when 
canned. An extra good 
keeper. We cannot recom- 
mend this Plum too highly . 
We are setting trees of it 
by the thousand in our 
orchards, and advise all 
who wish good Plums and 
good dollars to plant it 
liberally. Tree a hand- 
some, upright grower. 
The flesh of the Plum is 
juicy, rich and delicious. Chabot.
