JAPANESE PLUHS. 
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 curcculio 
than our common plums. 
The past season we have shipped these plums 
in ordinary crate as far east as Lewiston, Maine, 
and west as far as Urbana, Illinois. 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 sup- 
ply. Buy your trees from those who have grow- 
ing orchards and know what varieties they are 
sending out. The benefits of our practical ex- 
perience is always at our customers’ service. Ask 
questions and advice freely. 
ABUNDANCE— A large handsome plum of su- 
perb quality. The past season it sold readily in 
our markets for double the price of peaches and 
California plums, and easily had the preference 
•when it became know n. Season early. August.
