JAPANESE PLUMS. 
All Plums are budded on Plum roots, and prices are as follows, 
except where noted : 
First-class trees, 5 to 6 feet, 25 cts. each, $2.50 for 12, $18 per 100 ; second 
size, 4 to 5 feet, 20 cts. each, $2 for 12, $15 per too. 
These Plums are deservedly attracting much attention at present, 
as their quality is much better than at first supposed, and the trees 
are not subject to black knot. The fruit is more free from rot and 
suffers less from curculio than our common Plums. 
We have shipped these Plums in ordinary crates as far east as 
Lewiston, Maine, and 
as far west as Urbana, 
111. All report fruit as 
arriving in perfect con- 
dition. Our fruit has 
been shipped to every 
state in New England, 
and the markets are now 
ready for a liberal sup- 
ply. Buy your trees 
from those who have 
growing orchards, and 
know what varieties 
they are sending out. 
The benefit of our prac- 
tical experience is al- 
ways at our customers’ 
service. Ask questions 
and advice freely.
