THE BUTLER & JEWELL CO. 
PLUMS, continued. 
past season it sold readily in our markets for double the price 
of California Plums, and easily had the preference when it became 
came known. The fruit is a beautiful amber color, turning to 
a rich cherry, with a white 
bloom. Flesh light yellow, 
exceedingly tender and juicy, 
and very highly perfumed. 
Season, early August. Tree 
a handsome, upright grower. 
Burbank. A very pro- 
ductive, large, handsome and 
popular variety. Our trees 
of this variety, when loaded 
with ripe fruit, presented the 
handsomest fruit picture it 
was ever our privilege to look 
upon. The Rural New- 
Yorker of September 1 8, 
1897, says: "The hand- 
somest Plums we have ever 
seen were sent to 11s by 
Rurbank. Butler & Jewell, nursery- 
men, of Cromwell, Conn. — 
Burbanks. They were all about the same size, and measured 
inches either way in circumference, being, therefore, nearly 
round. In quality they seemed a shade better than Abundance, 
while resembling it in color of Hesh, juiciness, and meatiness.” 
Note.— The above comparison is hardly'fair, as our Burbanks were'compare 
with someone else’s Abundance. Ninety-five per cent of our customers said our 
Abundance Plums were even better than our|Burbanks,— intiactScalled^them the 
very best eating Plums they ever tasted. 
Chabot. (Also sold 
under the names 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 con- 
venient season for can- 
ning — September. It 
resembles our European 
Plums when canned. An 
extra good keeper. We 
cannot recommend this 
Plum too highly. We 
are setting trees of it by 
the thousand in our or- 
chards, and advise all 
who wish good Plums 
Chabot.
