The largest of the very early Japanese Plums— Lulls. 
PLUMS, continued. 
and good dollars to plant it liberally. Tree a handsome, upright 
grower. The flesh of the Plum is juicy, rich and delicious. 
Engre. The earliest Japanese Plum of any value. Color light 
red, flesh yellow, cling, sour ; skin tough ; shape round, somewhat 
flattened endwise ; quality best of its season. Mid-July. Quite 
productive and attractive. Earliness is its chief recommendation. 
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. 
Lutts. This excellent Plum was sent out under the name ol 
Wasse Botankio, but to avoid perpetuating confusion with numer- 
ous other Wasses and Botankios, it has been renamed. This is the 
largest, and best very Early Japanese Plum so far tested in the 
northern states. Fruit round-oblate, much like Burbank in form 
and appearance, but smaller. Flesh yellow, soft, cling, of good 
quality. Closely follows Engre in season. Tree a good grower 
and productive. 
Georgeson (White Kelsey, 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.
