The Cromwell Nursery, Cromwell, Conn. 17 
1897, says : “The handsomest Plums we have ever seen were sent 
to us by Butler & Jewell, nurserymen, of Cromwell, Conn.— Bur- 
banks. They were all about the same size, and measured 6 yi inches 
either way in circumference, being, therefore, nearly round.” A 
trifle darker in color and firmer in flesh than Abundance. 
Chabot. (Also sold under the names of Chase, Bailey, Yellow 
Japan, Botankio, Hattankio, O’Hattankio, Furugiya, and Orient.) 
Medium to large, handsome fruit, which sells readily at top prices. 
Comes at a convenient season for canning — September. It re- 
sembles our European Plums when canned. An extra good keeper. 
We cannot recommend this Plum too highly. We are setting trees 
of it by the thousand in our orchards, and we 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 iuicy, rich and 
delicious. 
Hale. An extremely 
vigorous tree, produc- 
ing fair-sized, greenish 
yellow Plums of superior 
quality. Trees have not 
been productive with 
us; may do better fur- 
ther south or when they 
are older here. Mid- 
August. 
Georgeson (White Kel- 
sey, Normand, Mikado, 
Yeddo). Fruit medium 
to large, yellow, with 
whitish bloom ; flesh 
firm, solid and of fine 
quality. A long keeper. 
Season about with Bur- 
bank. Tree a rather 
better grower than Burbank, but inclined to sprawl. 
Red June (Red Nagate, Nagate No Botankio). Of medium size 
when well thinned ; flesh yellow, cling, firm, juicy, slightly acid, of 
fair quality, but not rich. One of the best medium-early varieties, 
being hardy, productive and attractive. Tree a slow, upright 
grower, of very distinct type. LateoJuly. 
Satsuma (Blood Plum, Yonemomo). Fruit large when properly 
thinned, round-oblong with blunt point and deep suture ; color 
dull brown-red, mottled with greenish dots; flesh hard and blood- 
red. Satsuma seldom becomes edible with us, but for canning or 
preserving it has no equal. We have yet to learn of a single 
party who has once had the fruit who did not demand it for suc- 
ceeding seasons. Always brings highest price in market. 
Wickson. Fruit very large, long, heart-shaped, with deep suture ; 
color deep maroon-red, sometimes lighter; pit small; flesh firm 
and meaty, yellow, rich and aromatic, with a slight lemon flavor ; 
cling; tree a narrow, upright grower, like Simonii. So far it 
has been a shy bearer with us but we look for greater productive- 
ness as the trees increase in age. September. 
Chabot Plum.
