THE MAYNARD PLUM. 
One of the new seedling plums from 
the experiment grounds of Luther Bur¬ 
bank, which he deems valuable, is 
named Maynard in honor of Prof. S. T. 
Maynard, of Massachusetts, who saw the 
original tree in bearing on the Burbank 
place in California several years ago. 
Mr. Burbank sent me specimens recent¬ 
ly, from one of which I made the illus¬ 
tration, Fig. 234, page 577. He says that 
the size is one-third below the average, 
owing to a heavy crop on smfll trees. 
He also says that the trees of this va¬ 
riety are “a surprise in vigor, and are 
early and abundant bearers.” The size 
of the fruit is large enough and the color 
dark, purplish red. The flavor is rich 
subacid, much like that of many of the 
Japan type, to which it belongs. It 
would be pronounced good in quality. 
The flesh is firm enough, quite juicy and 
tinted with purple throughout.

THE YAN CHERRY. 
Among the many varieties of the 
sweet cherries originated by that de¬ 
voted experimenter with fruits in Ore¬ 
gon, Seth Lewelling, the Yan is one of 
the latest and best yet introduced to the 
public. It was from the same source 
that the Bing came, which is now quite 
well distributed and is fast winning its 
way into popular favor. Both varieties 
were named for faithful Chinese labor¬ 
ers working for Mr. Lewelling. He con¬ 
sidered the Yan one of the best seed¬ 
lings that he ever grew. The accom¬ 
panying drawing, Fig. 235, page 577, 
was made from specimens that were 
grown and recently sent to me by George 
Ruedy, of Colfax, Ore. As this place is 
in the Palouse country, where the rain¬ 
fall is very much less than in the west¬ 
ern part of that State, especially during 
the growing season, these specimens are 
considerably smaller than they would 
have been if they had been grown in the 
Willamette Valley or elsewhere west of 
the Cascade Range. However, they 
were not small, as may be seen by the 
two sectional views that show the edge 
and side of the seed. In size the Yan 
may be called a large cherry; the shape 
is decidedly conical and each fruit has 
a distinct suture on one side only. Its 
color is dark, purplish red outside, flesh 
being streaked and flecked with light 
red, and it is very firm. No cherry that 
I know is better able to endure long 
shipment than this seems to be. The 
flavor is very mild subacid, but not so 
much so as properly to be called sweet. 
To my taste it is excellent, having a 
very distinct cherry flavor. The stone 
is none too large for so large a cherry. 
Mr. Ruedy says it is very prolific, and 
when compared with many other choice 
kinds of the same class, both old and 
new, he considers it well worthy of gen¬ 
eral trial. H. E. VAN DEMAN. 
SAN JOSE SCALE INSPECTION. 
Commissioner of Agriculture Wieting has 
sent a letter to nurserymen and others in¬ 
terested in this State, of which the follow¬ 
ing is a synopsis: 
Under the provisions of Chapter 519 of the 
Laws of 1902, nursery stock shipped from 
other States into this State must be fumi¬ 
gated with hydrocyanic acid gas before 
planting, sale or distribution. The law fur¬ 
ther requires that all stock dug for sale, 
growing within half a mile of a section in¬ 
fested with San Josfi scale, must be fumi¬ 
gated. Conifers and Citrus plants are ex¬ 
empted. Nursery inspection will be done 
as heretofore. All trees showing marks of 
San Jos6 scale or other injurious insects, 
as well as all trees affected with fungus 
diseases and crown gall, or galls on the 
roots, must be destroyed. Shipments into 
the State from points outside of the State 
will be examined by State inspectors, and 
where San Jos6 scale or any indication of 
it is found the trees will be destroyed and 
the remainder of the shipment must be 
fumigated. Duplicate certificates of New 
York State nurserymen are required to be 
filed in the States of Georgia, Maryland, 
Michigan, North Carolina and Virginia, 
when such nurserymen desire to ship into 
any of the States named, and will be fur¬ 
nished by the Department of Agriculture, 
Albany, N. Y. All nursery stock consign¬ 
ed for shipment must be accompanied by 
a copy of a certificate of inspection signed 
by the Commissioner of Agriculture, dated 
not earlier than July 24, 1902, which certi¬ 
ficate will be valid until June 30, 1903. At¬ 
tention is called to the following facts re¬ 
garding the requirements of other States
