JAPANESE PLUMS. 
All Plums are budded on plum roots, and prices are as follows, 
except where noted : 
First-class trees, 5 to 6 feet, 25 cts. each, $2.50 for 12, $18 per 100 ; second 
size, 4 to 5 feet, 20 cts. each. $2 for 12, $15 per 100. 
These Plums are deservedly attracting much attention at present, 
as their quality is much better than at first supposed, and the trees 
are not subject to black knot. The fruit is more free from rot and 
suffers less from curculio than our common Plums. 
We have shipped these Plums in ordinary crate as far east as 
Lewiston, Maine, and 
as far west as Urbana, 
111. All report fruit 
as arriving in perfect 
condition. Our fruit 
has been shipped to 
every state in New 
England, and the 
markets are now ready 
for a liberal supply. 
Buy your trees from 
those who have grow- 
ing orchards, and know 
what varieties they are 
sending out. The 
benefit of our practi- 
cal experience is al- 
ways at our customers’ 
service. Ask questions 
and advice freely.
