Plum (Prunus.) (See double-JUmereng Almond.) 
PRUNUS PISSARDII — The wood and leaf are of a rich, peculiarly vivid dark 
purple, holding the color well through the entire season, and in this respect supe-

a black fruit of ornamental appearance, early in the season. 
TRILOBA (Double Flowering Plum) — A highly interesting and desirable addition 
to hardy shrubs ; flowers semi-double, of a delicate pink, upwards of an inch in 
diameter, thickly set on the long slender branches ; native of China; hardy.
