K' Heine Claude —Large, greenish yellow

£>^"Shropshire Damson —The Shropshire Dam¬ 
son is a splendid market plum. It is a 
small, blue plum, and rather coarse, but it 
sells well and is a very prolific bearer. This 
is the best of the Damsons. These are small¬ 
ish plums, produced in thick clusters or 
groups, almost hiding the branches from view. 
It is highly prized for canning and for pre¬ 
serving. The tree is not a rapid grower in 
the ^nurseries and is difficult to propagate, 
J^herefore trees are always in short supply. 
Santa Rosa—Tree a strong, vigorous, up¬ 
right grower. Fruit uniformly large. As a 
shipper it is the peer of them all—* standing 
up’ under the most trying conditions; color 
deep purplish crimson with blue bloom; flesh 
purple shaded scarlet; pit small; the eating 
quality is unequaled, rich, fragrant, delicious; 
ripens with the earliest, two weeks before 
Burbank. 
Bradshaw Plum —A very large and fine 
early plum, dark violet red, juicy and good. 
Trees erect and vigorous; very productive; 
valuable for market. The tree is very hardy 
and vigorous. 'As regards productiveness it 
is unequaled by any plum we have ever 
fruited. To produce the finest fruit, heavy 
thinning should be practiced. The quality is 
excellent, and it is destined to become one of 
the most popular of all plums for canning, 
while its attractive color, good quality and 
shipping properties will cause it to be sought 
for as a market variety. It ripens ten days 
to two weeks later than Abundance. This 
plum resembles Niagara in size, color and 
general good qualities. It is becoming better 
known each year, and it is a grand variety, 
and no collection is complete without it.
