JAPANESE PLUMS 
Prunns triflora of botanists: Pranas J&ponica of 
pomologists. 
Abundance, or Yellow-flesh Botan. Round, with 
pointed apex, but varies from quite round to sharply- 
pointed. Skin yellow, ground heavily washed pur¬ 
ple-carmine and a darker cheek; flesh yellow, very 
juicy, subacid, with apricot flavor; quite firm; skin 
tough; clingstone; quality best; pit large. Maturity 
June 15 to July 5. We also have this variety under 
several names as received from Japan, all proving 
identical.* One of the best early varieties, and val¬ 
uable for northern and middle states. Carries well 
to distant markets. After fruiting this variety ex¬ 
tensively for many years, we consider it the ’most 
desirable for shipping North and West. Fruit should 
be thinned, otherwise the size is reduced and the 
quality is inferior.

QUINCES 
40c each; $3.00 for 10, except where noted. 
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 mix¬ 
ture before the buds swell, repeating the spraying throughout the summer at intervals, as necessary. However, 
in some situations Quinces seem to be free of blight. 
Angers. A productive, old variety. Fruit rather acid. 25 cents each; -2.00 for ten. 
Apple, or Orange. Large, round. Excellent late variety. Bears abundantly. 
Meech. Large; good quality. In suitable sections bears early and abundantly.

South as they bloom early, and the fruit is apt to be killed by late frosts. They are more successful in
