GLEN SAINT MARY NURSERIES 
Deciduous Fruits 
PLUMS, continued 
is a remarkably rapid, strong grower and bears 
annually and abundantly. Fruit medium to 
large, I 'A inches in diameter, nearly round, no 
suture, color deep, solid wine-red, with heavy 
light bluish bloom; stem short, skin firm and 
without astringency ; flesh firm, yellowish, with 
reddish color near the pit; quality fine; cling¬ 
stone. The earliest Plum to ripen in Florida; 
about June i. Very handsome ; fine shipper. 
After many years of experimenting with nu¬ 
merous varieties of Plums, we do not hesitate 
to say that Excelsior and Terrell are the most 
satisfactory varieties for planting throughout 
the length and breadth of Florida, and through¬ 
out the Gulf-coast country, westward to the 
Rio Grande river. They are, in fact, adapted 
to all the southern states, and good results have 
been obtained from Excelsior as far north as 
Delaware. While adapted to this extreme 
range of latitude, we particularly recommend 
them for the extreme South, as it is to the semi- 
tropical climates that a lesser number of fine 
varieties are adapted. 
Kelsey. Fruit very large, from 7 to 9 inches 
in circumference, heart-shaped, long-pointed, 
usually somewhat lop-sided, with deep, furrow¬ 
like suture; skin greenish yellow, sometimes 
overspread with bright red, with a lovely blue 
bloom; very showy; flesh light yellow, firm, 
meaty, and of pleasant flavor ; quality excellent; 
free. Bears heavily, coming in young. 
Persian Purple-leaved (Primus Pissardii). 
Fruit medium to large, round ; crimson inside 
and out; quality good, possessing a very de¬ 
cided cherry flavor. June. Tree a good grower ; 
chiefly planted as an ornamental. Most desir¬ 
able of the purple-leaved trees, retaining its 
vivid purple foliage until late in the season. 
Red June (Red Nagate). Fruit medium to 
large, cordate and very prominently elongated 
at the apex ; suture deep, generally lop-sided ; 
deep vermilion-red all over, with a handsome 
bloom; very showy; flesh light yellow or 
whitish ; firm and moderately juicy, not stringy, 
slightly subacid to sweetish, of good, pleasant 
quality, cling to half-cling ; pit small. Tree 
vigorous, productive. 
Satsuma. Fruit medium to large, broadly 
conical, with a blunt, short point, suture very 
deep; skin very dark and dull red all over, 
with greenish dots and an under-color of brown- 
red ; firm, very juicy; quality good; free. 
Flesh so firm and solid as to enable it to be 
kept long in fine condition after being picked. 
It is grand for preserving, and a grand keeper 
for the retail trade. 
Wickson. Large, deep maroon-red ; of the 
Kelsey type. Long-cordate or oblong-pointed ; 
flesh firm, deep amber-yellow, clinging to the 
small pit. There is apt to be a hollow space 
about the pit. Of first quality. An excellent 
keeper. A cross of Burbank with Kelsey, Bur¬ 
bank furnishing the seed. A good grower 
and heavy bearer. One of the most valuable 
in the Plum-growing sections in the North, 
also good in lower South.

nual bearer. The fruit is of large size, iK to 2 inches in diameter; nearly round, slightly 
ribbed at suture, terminating in blunt point. Color at maturity a beautiful reddish yellow, 
somewhat mottled, covered with purplish bloom; assumes a wine-red when fully ripe. Flesh
