‘SILVER PRUNE. Originated in Oregon. The fruit is a fac- simile of Coe’s Golden Drop, except it 
IS a darker green, and it is yet a question whether it should be called a prune or a plum. It is a Wy 
superior shipper, and it certainly makes an excellent dried fruit, either pitted or unpitted; makes a splen- 
did prune. e * r

ornamental, foliage blood red, o r- » j

‘BULGARIAN PRUNES. A very proUfio, dark colored prune, larger than the French Prune, and by 
some considered a very valuable prune, but we have not yet tested it sufficiently to judge of its value. 
(or Prune d’Ent). Very like the Petit or French Prune, only larger and more desira- 
ble. It IS now demonstrated that this prune will bear as heavy crops as the French or Petit Prune and 
equally as good a quality, it is of course the most valuable of the ’two. 
There has been some fears that it might not be a good bearer, but that doubt has been dispelled. Manv 
trees are now bearing heavy crops in this State. Price of trees same as the Petit Prune on Myrobolan 
root. It will not grow on peach root, but must be grown on plum root. 
•TRAGEDY PRUNE. A new prune originated by Mr. Runyon, near Conrtland, in this county. It 
.o a cross between the German Prune and Purple Duane. Fruit medium size, nearly as 
large as the Duane Purple Plum; looks much like it, only it is more elongated; skin dark purple flesh 
yellowish green, very rich and sweet, frees readily from the pit. Its early ripening (in June) makes it 
fnnLTitinea'botjf • fruit. Coming as It does before any other good plum, it will always bring 
fancy P«oes 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 fruit will make fortunes out of it. We believe this Prune to oe 
almost equal to the French Prune for drying, though we have not tested it sufficiently as a drying prune 
simply on account of its value as a shipping Prune, it has always brought a better price in the Eastern 
market than any other Prune or Plum. ^ o ^
