Japanese Plums 
Some of our Japan Plum trees are on Plum roots and others on 
peach. State your preference when ordering, and we will comply 
if possible. Shall use 
more peach roots in 
future for our own 
planting. 
First-class trees, 5 to 
6 ft., 25 cts. each, 
S2.50 for 12, SIS per 
100; second size, 4 
to 5 ft., 20c. ea., $2 
for 12, SIS per 100. 
These Plums are de- 
servedly attracting 
much attention at 
present, as their qual- 
ity is much better than 
at first supposed, and 
the trees are not sub- 
ject to black - knot. 
The fruit is more free 
from rot and suffers 
less from curculio than 
our common Plums. 
W e have shipped 
these Plums in ordi- 
nary crates as far east 
as Lewiston, Maine, 
and as far west as Urbana, 111. All report fruit as arriving in per- 
fect 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 orchards, and know what 
varieties they are sending out. The benefit of our practical expe- 
rience 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 mar- 
kets for double the price of 
California Plums, and eas- 
ily 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 yellow, exceed- 
ingly tender and juicy, and 
very highly perfumed. Sea- 
son, early August. Tree a 
handsome, upright grower.
