JAPANESE PLUMS 
All Plums are budded on Plum roots, and prices are as follows, 
except where noted : 
First-class trees, 5 to 6 ft., 25 cts. each, S2.50 for 12, £18 per IOO ; 
second size, 4 to 5 ft., 20 cts. each, $2 for 12, $15 per <00. 
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 crates 
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 growing or- 
chards, and know what 
varieties they are sending 
out. The benefit of our 
practical experience is always at our customers’ service. Ask 
questions and advice freely. 
Abundance. A large, handsome Plum of superb quality. The 
past season it sold readily in our markets for double the price of 
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 hand- 
some, 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 up- 
on. The Rural New
