Abundance Introduced from Japan and is very popular in the early ship¬ 
ping districts. The tree is a good grower and yields heavy 
crops. The fruit is large and has a beautiful cherry color covered with a 
white bloom. Flesh is yellow and possesses a very rich flavor. 
We recommend this variety to those wishing an early plum. Ripens in June. 
Formosa Beauty 
Beauty Originated by Luther Burbank, of Santa Rosa, California, and is 
one, if not the best, of the early shipping plums. 
.It is of exceptional value for shipping to Eastern markets as the fruit, when 
picked green, will color up and develop its delicious flavor later. Owing to 
its earliness, showy appearance and size, which runs from two to two and one- 
quarter inches in diameter, it commands the highest prices on all markets. 
The tree resembles the well known “Formosa,” is of upright habit and vig¬ 
orous growth, a heavy producer, and has very dense foliage which gives ample 
protection to the fruit. 
The fruit is decidedly heart shaped and for this reason makes an easy and 
attractive pack. The skin being a beautiful crimson color, freely sprinkled with 
whitish dots presents a fine appearance on the market. The flesh is amber 
in color permeated with crimson. 
We highly recommend, the Beauty for planting in all valley and foothill 
sections of California. Ripens in July. 
Burbank Another of the Japanese type of plums introduced by Luther Bur¬ 
bank, of Santa Rosa, California, and was named after him by 
Prof. H. E. Van Deman. It is considered one of the best of the Japanese type. 
The growth of the tree is somewhat different from any other plum, being 
of. a spreading habit with a flat top. The fruit is large, bright red in color, 
slightly mottled with yellow. Flesh is rich yellow, juicy and very sweet. 
Owing to the early age at which this tree bears and its usual productiveness 
it is considered by orchardists as well as many fruit shippers to be a good 
variety for. commercial planting throughout the central coast valleys, interior 
and foothill sections as well as southern California districts. Ripens last 
of June. 
Climax This.variety was originated by Luther Burbank, of Santa Rosa, 
California, and on account of its early ripening period and its 
good shipping and market qualities is one of the most profitable plums grown. 
The tree is a strong grower and owing to its early and heavy bearing 
qualities is inclined to droop. The fruit of the Climax is quite large, heart 
shaped, and a very dark red in color. The flesh is yellow and of good flavor.
