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 — Septem- 
ber. It resembles our European Plums when cunned. 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 handsome, upright grower. The flesh of the Plum is juicy, rich 
and delicious. 
Hale. An extremely vigorous tree, producing fair-sized, greenish yellow Plums of 
superior quality. Trees have not been productive with us; may do better further 
south or when they are older here. Mid-August. 
Georgeson (White Kelsey, Normand, Mikado, Yeddo). Fruit medium to large, 
yellow, with whitish bloom; flesh firm, solid and of fine 'quality. A long keeper. 
Season about with Burbank. 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. Late July. 
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 and 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 
highest price in market. 
Wickson. Fruit very large, long, heart-shaped, with deep suture; color deep ma- 
roon-red, sometimes lighter; pit small; flesh firm and meaty, yellow, rich and aro- 
matic, 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 productiveness as the 
trees increase in age. September. 
NEW JAPANESE AND HYBRID PLUMS 
These we can only supply in one-year trees, 3 to 5 feet high, at prices following 
descriptions. 
America. No anti-expansionist ever did anything quite so humiliating as the nam- 
ing of this fruit. We would have forgiven the intr oducer if he had named it Arizona 
Jay or Deadwood Beauty, but to call it a "Giant” and name it America, when any 
pigeon can do better, is an outrage. 25 cts. 
Apple. This Plum was called Apple because it didn’t have anything about the 
fruit or tree which bore any resemblance to it. The tree seems very hardy, grows 
more sprawling than Burbank. The fruit is about the size of a medium-sized Satsuma, 
and resembles that variety so closely that it would he sold for it if it didn’t always rot 
before it was ripe enough to pick. 25 cts. 
Bartlett. Tree grows very upright, ’even worse than Simonii and Wickson, of 
which it seems to be a near relative. Not fruited here yet but we are in hopes it will 
some time. If the fruit tallies as closely to original description as the two preceding 
varieties we shall be pleased. 60 cts. 
Chaleo. "A Simonii-Burbank cross. A tremendous grower of unsurpassed pro- 
ductiveness. Ripens before Burbank, is large, flat like a tomato, deep reddish purple; 
flesh very sweet, firm and fragrant. The fruits are as stemless as a peach, and com- 
pletely surround the older branches, like kernels on a huge ear of corn. A superior 
Shipping Plum, as it ripens well when picked green and keeps nearly or quite a month. 
Chaleo is the forerunner of a new hardy race of Plums, more of which are on the way.” 
50 cts.
