Burbank. A very productive, 
large, handsome and popular va- 
riety. Our trees of this variety, 
when loaded with ripe fruit, pre- 
sented the finest fruit picture it 
has ever been our privilege to 
look upon. The Rural New- Yorker 
of September 18, 1897, says: "The 
handsomest Plums we have ever 
seen were sent to us by Butler & 
Jewell, nurserymen, Cromwell, 
Conn. — Burbanks. They were all 
about the same size, and measured 
6K inches either way in circum- 
ference, being, therefore, nearly 
round. ** A trifle darker in color 
and firmer in flesh than Abun- 
dance. CHABOT. (Seeopposite page.)
