ABUNDANCE.— Beautiful lemon yel-

ry color: has a heavy bloom. Large, 
rich and melting. A great bearer and 
an excellent grower; one of the lead- 
ing Japan varieties. August.

ties introduced from Japan, the Bur- 
bank is the most promising, its flavor 
being the best. The trees are univer- 
saliy vigorous and have strong branches 
and begin to bear usuaily when two 
years old. The skin of the fruit is thick 
and almost curculio proof. An admir- 
able shipper. August to September.

two weeks after ripe. September.
