*Petit Prune D’Agen (French Prune)— Small to medium, reddish purple, very 
parts freely from stone ; one of the best varieties for drying as a prune. 
Silver Prune-Originated in Oregon. The (ruit is a fac simile of Coe’s Golden 
Urop, except it is a darker green, and it is yet a question whether it should be called 
a prune or a p urn. It is a very superior shipper, and it certainly makes an excellent 
<Jrmd frnit, either pitted or uupitted ; makes a splendid prune. 
Bui arian Prunes— A very prolific, dark colored prune, larger than the French 
Prune, and by some considered a very valuable prune, but we have not yet tested it 
snlhcieut to judge of its value. 
Prune D’Agen (or Prune d’Ent) -Very like the Petit or French Prune, only larger 
and more desirable. It is now demonstrated that this Prune will bear as heavy 
crops as the French or Petite Prune, and as it is so much lar^rer and of equally as 
good a quality, it 18 of course Ihe most valuable of the two. There has been some 
fears that it might nol be a good bearer, but that doubt has been dispelled Many 
trees are now bearing heavy crops in this State. Price of trees same as the Petite 
Prune on Myrobolau root. It will not grow on peach root, but must be grown on 
plum root. Ibis is the same prune recommended by Felix Gillet, of Navada City, as 
tue true Gros Prune. 
German Prune— A large purple prune, flesh greenish yellow, very sweet, always 
brings fancy prices as a fresh fruit ; it is a good shipper and makes an excellent dried 
prune, tree a strong grower and a good and regular bearer. 
Tragedy Prune-A new prune originated by Mr. Runyon, near Courtland, in this 
county. It would seem to be a cross between the German Prune and Purple Duane. 
F ruit medium size, nearly as large as the Duane Purple Plum; looks much like it, 
only it is more elongated ; skin dark purple, flesh lellowish green, very rich and 
sweet, frees readily from the pit. Its early riiiening (in June) makes it very valuab'e 
as a shipping fruit. Coming as it does before any other good plum, it will always 
bring fancy prices, both in the local and Eastern market. So far it has no rival We 
believe we are the first to work it. The first to get orchards of this fruT will make 
fortunes out of it. 
CHERRIES. 
As a pleasant and refreshing dessert fruit the cherry is everywhere highly esteemed* 
The early season at which it ripens, its juiciness, delicacy and richness render it 
always acceptable. It thrives best in rich dry loam. The trees should be trained 
low, that the foliage may protect Ihe trunk, which should never be expos d to the 
sun. M e cultivate only a few of the leading kind.s, a brief description of which may 
be found below :
