low varieties. August lo to 15. Price, e.xtra, 50c. each ; No, i, 35c. each, $3 per doz., fiS per 100. 
BURBANK. Tree of great vigor, with a broad, sprawling habit; needs close pruning. 
- - Without thinning, the fruit is the largest of the older varieties, and when freelv 
thinned, as it always sliould be, it reaches very large size : 5 to 6 inches in circumference, nearly 
globular, often a little lop-sided ; color cherry-red, with j-ellow spots ; flesh deep yellow, very firm 
and meaty, not quite so sweet as Abundance. Its firmness makes it a good keeper, grand to ship.

HALR. Strongest growing tree of all Japans. Large, greenish white Plum of most delicious 
- - ([ualily. Shoukl l)e in every family collection. Pnce, extra size, 50 cts. each. 
WICKSON. .-V beautiful, upright-growing, vase-shaped tree that needs a yearly thinning out 
- - lo keep the head open to sunlight and air ; fruit large—the one great big fellow of 
the whole race. Color ligiit cherry-red, covered with a light bloom. The pit is small for so large a 
Plum ; (lesh lender, sweet, rather dry, indicating good shipping and long keeping qualitie.s. C)n 
account of great size and beauty I have wanted lo plant largely of Wickson, but held oil till 1 
could be sure of its productiveness. Last two seasons settled that; the trees were so ovei loaded 
they Iiad to be severely thinned; a great crop was matured on all trees of every age. When fully 
grown the great .silvery while beauties looked like trees loaded with large-sized hen's eggs ; iheii, 
as the silvery white gave way to the light cherry-red and yellow, it was the most charming orchartl 
picture I have ever seen. There was little or no rot; the yield was very heavy, fruit all very large, 
with few seconds. The market took them with a rush. \\’ickson is all right ; don’t fail to plant it, 
Price. No. i, 50 cts. each. $4 per doz., 525 per too; 3 lo 3'.; ft., 35 cts. each, S3 per doz., S15 per 100. 
/•~i ^ ^ 'Tt Tree a strong, upright, somewhat spreading grower, very productive of 
medium lo large, oblong-conical Plums, which are a bright cherry-red 
_ nearly all over, except on the shady side, which reTiiains yellow. Flesh 
■ yellow, firm, sweet and of excellent quality ; not ciuite as sweet as.Abun¬ 
dance, but a belter Plum every way. It is a most beautiful Plum, too, which helps it in jnarket. 
Us great value, however, lies in its late ripening and long keeping qualities. If it ripened at the 
same lime as Abundance it would entirely super¬ 
sede that delicious variety, but coming as it does, 
nearly a motith later, it lakes a place and season 
all by itself, and is exceedingly desirable in both 
private and market orchards. One cannot have 
a choice selection without including Chabot. 
Plant it liberally. Price, extra size, 50 cts. each, 
$4 per doz.; No i, 4 lo 4I-2 ft., 25 cts. each, S2 50 
per doz . 5 i 8 per too; light size, $2 per doz., S12 
per 100.

SATSUMA. 
Fruit very large, nearly globu¬ 
lar ; skin very dark and dull 
red all over, with greenish dots and an under¬ 
color of brown-red ; flesh blood-red, firm, of very 
good quality. Will keep one to three weeks after 
being picked. A grand market sort. Coming 
in, as it does, after all the Euroiiean Plums and 
the main crop of peaches are gone, it finds a more 
than ready market. Superb for canning, excelling 
all known fruits for the purpose. Any one who 
has never tasted canned Satsuma Plums has 
missed the most delicious of all dessert fruits. 
Satsuma is a great yielder and the Plums are 
always large. I have sold hundreds of bushels 
direct lo families, and each succeeding year old 
customers all come back bringing new ones with them, the sure evidence of tlie value of Satsuma, 
Plant it liberally: it i.s sure to be satisfactory and profitable. Price, extra size. 50 cts. each; 
No. I, 4 to 4 ft. size, 25c. each. $2. 50 per doz , SiS per 100.

dish purple Plums of fine (piality; valuable. Price, extra size, 50 cts. each, 54 per doz.
