European Plums. 
The following varieties of Plums do best in the 
Piedmont section: 
Clyman. A California seedling large, redish-purple; 
flesh firm, freestone, vigorous and a good bearer. 
Giant Prune. The largest Prune known; fruit aver¬ 
aging one and one-half to two ounces each; retaining 
the good qualities of smaller varieties. 
Lombard. Medium; violet red; juicy; good; hardy 
and productive; ripens early in July. 
Shropshire. Of medium size; dark purple. Good for 
preserving. Thrives best in the Piedmont section. 
Very productive. 
Quinces 
These succeed best in strong, clay soils, in special localities, and in the Piedmont section. They can be 
grown in bush form. Being somewhat subject to leaf-blight, the trees should be sprayed with bordeaux mixture 
before the buds swell, repealing the spraying throughout the summer at intervals, as necessary. However, in 
some situations, Quinces seem to be free of blight.

Apple, or Orange. Large; round. Excellent late va¬ 
riety; bears abundantly. 
Almonds. 
Almonds are unreliable in most of the middle sec¬ 
tions of the South; owing to their early blooming 
period the fruit is apt to be killed by late frost, unless 
the trees are protected. In some sections of the South 
the Almond is quite successfully grown.

ENGLISH WALNUTS 
(Thin-Shelled, or Maderia Nuts) 
The English Walnut must be planted in rich, well- 
drained and preferably stoney soil. Do not plant in 
hard pan, heavy clays, or soils which are not properly 
drained. In some sections the English Walnut is suc¬ 
cessful. The trees we offer are all grown from the 
best French seed. Nuts large, oblong; shell very thin; 
of excellent quality, and the nut keeps sweet for a 
long time.

JAPANESE WALNUTS 
The Japan Walnut succeeds 
from 
Massachusetts 
southward. It seems to be particularly successful in 
the southern states. The tree is very handsome; has 
a large, spreading top. It makes a useful as well as a 
very ornamental tree. At three years of age the tree 
commences to bear. The nuts are borne in clusters of 
from ten to twenty. The shells are moderately thick, 
but the kernels are very sweet. We offer two varie¬ 
ties.
