10 The Butler & Jewell Company 
Japanese Plums, continued 
Lutts. This Plum was sent out under the name of Wasse Botankio, 
but to avoid perpetuating confusion with numerous other Wasses 
and Botankios, it has been renamed. Fruit round-oblate, much 
like Burbank in form and appearance, but smaller. Flesh yellow, 
soft, clings. Closely follows Engre in season. Tree a good grower 
and productive. 
Maru. About the same in size, 
season, shape and color as 
Lutts ; better in quality, but 
possibly less productive. 
8@“Second size trees only of 
Lutts and Maru. 
Red June (Red Nagate, Nagate 
No Botankio). Of medium size 
when well thinned ; flesh yel- 
low, cling, firm, juicy, slightly 
acid, of fair quality, but not rich. 
One of the best medium early 
varieties, being hardy, produc- 
tive and attractive. Tree a slow, 
upright grower, of very distinct 
type. Late July. 
Satsuma (Blood Plum, Yone- 
satsuma plum. momo). 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 succeeding seasons. Always 
brings the highest 
price in market. 
W i c k s o n . 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 in- 
crease in age. Sep- 
tember. WICKSON PLUM.
