Van Buren’s Golden Dwarf.—Makes a compact, odd-looking bush, growing six 
to eight feet high, bearing a large, juicy fruit resembling Lemon Cling.

PLUMS AND PRUNES. 
Price, 25 cents each ; $12 to $20 per 100. 
Petite Prune, Prune d’Agen or French Prune.—Medium size, egg-shaped, 
reddish purple, freestone, rich, sugary and exceedingly productive, and 
brings the highest prices. The fruit is so firm and full of sugar, that when 
it falls on the ground, instead of decaying, like most other plums and prunes, 
it dries under the trees, making a most delicious dried fruit. Hundreds of 
thousands of French prune trees have been planted during the past five 
years, and fruit growers are now clearing land for setting orchards of it, 
from 10,000 to 100,000 trees each. 
Yellow Egg. Very large, egg-shaped, productive, and one of the very best for 
canning, drying or for market. 
Washington.—Clear yellow, marbled red, flesh firm, freestone; one of the best 
of all plums for any purpose. 
Jefferson. Medium size, deep yellow with a purplish cheek; very rich and 
sweet, freestone ; hangs well on the tree. 
Coes Golden Drop.—Large; yellow, spotted red, flesh firm; very productive 
in some localities. 
Cherry Plum. Small; light yellow, early and productive ; one of the best for 
home use. 
Imperial Gage.— Medium size; pale green, sweet and juicy; good grower and 
very productive. 
Hungarian Prune. —Very large ; light red, changing to violet; vigorous grower 
and abundant bearer ; one of the most attractive plums in cultivation.

darker colored.

time ; darker colored.
