Lombard Plums—Very Productive 
Lombard Plum. Lombard is a great favorite. The 
- tree adapts itself to any locality, 
it is extremely hardy, producing good crops where many other 
varieties will not grow; it is a strong growing tree and exceed¬ 
ingly productive. It is a handsome reddish plum, flesh 
yellow, juicy and pleasant. An excellent variety, and should 
be planted in all gardens and orchards. 
Gueii. (Blue Magnum Bonum.) This is one of the newer 
varieties originating in New York State. Season of ripening 
rather late. The color is dark purple. The flesh is firm, 
sub-acid and agreeable. Size large. It would be difficult to 
select a larger or more attractive plum for the garden or 
orchard than this. September. 
Wickson. (Japan.) Fruit remarkably handsome, very 
large, long, heart shaped, color deep maroon red, covered 
with white bloom; flesh firm and meaty, yellow, rich and 
aromatic; cling, pit small. Tree an upright vigorous grower. 
Excellent keeper and shipper, is beinp slanted largely for 
market. Early September. 
Reine Claude. (Bavay’s Greengage.) Medium size, 
greenish, fine flavor. Not surpassed in quality,beauty or size. 
September. 
Yellow Egg. This is an unusually large and handsome 
yellow variety of an egg shape, from which it obtains its 
name. It is only fair in quality and is prized more for 
culinary uses than for eating out of the hand. 
Burbank. (J a P an Plum.) Unsurpassed for beauty 
- and productiveness, as well as great hardi¬ 
ness of tree. Fruit large, oval, often with a slight neck; 
skin reddish purple; flesh yellow, juicy and good. Its beauty 
and value as a market variety are unsurpassed. Several years’ 
trial has proved it to be hardy in almost the entire United 
States. They bear abundantly at an early age. The fruit 
is exceedingly beautiful, of fair quality, and is especially 
desirable for canning. The Japan plums do not rot so easily 
at Green’s fruit farm as the other varieties-. It ripens in 
midseason. 
Abundance. Fruit large, showy, beautiful. Amber, 
turning to a rich, bright cherry color, 
with a decided white bloom, and highly perfumed. Flesh 
light yellow, exceedingly juicy and tender, of a delicious 
sweetness, impossible to describe. Stone small and parts 
readily from flesh. For canning it is of greatest excellence. 
Its season is very early, ripening in advance of other plums, 
thus adding to its special value. 
The editor of the Rural New Yorker writes: “ From one 
little Abundance tree we picked ten pecks of fruit. The quality 
is excellent. When fully ripe, they are full of juice. The flesh 
is tender, and there is mingled with the plum a peach flavor that 
is refreshing and agreeable .”
