Catalogue and Price List 
The original stock of tliis type of plums came from southern Eu- 
rope. The^’- are generally much larger, finer colored, and better in 
quality than the American sorts. They no not come into fruiting so 
young, but bear very heavily as the tree gets older. Formerly these 
varieties were supposed to be worthless in Nebraska, but later experi- 
ments have developed the fact that they are good in all parts of the 
state. Trees should be planted sixteen to eighteen feet apart.

tree is extremely hardy, and adapts 
itself to almost any conditions. Very 
productive, the fruit hanging on the 
branches almost as thick as a cluster 
of grapes. Medium to large. Color, 
violet red, paler when shaded. Quality 
very good. Season last of August.

right grower. Fruit very large, oval,

This class of plums is but recently introduced into this country from 
Japan. The trees are hardy, exceedingly ornamental, with smooth 
branches and a profusion of rich, light green foliage quite distinct 
from the other varieties. They are early and prolific bearers. The 
fruit is delicately perfumed, finely colored, with a very attractive 
bloom. The flesh is so firm and meaty that they can be shii)pcd long 
distances with .safety and kept for a long time in good condition. 
Plant eighteen feet apart each way.
