■■ Iwl *9 Grow Fruit 
The Plum delights in a cool, not too dry situation, and good rich soil. 
Plant trees 15 to 20 feet apart in rows. The varieties we offer have been 
thoroughly tested, and are standbys. These may be relied upon to 
furnish crops of this delicious fruit. 
ABUNDANCE. One of the well known Japanese varieties. Lemon yellow ground, over 
spread with bright cherry, a heavy bloomer; large to very large, oblong, tapering to 
the point. Flesh orange yellow, melting, rich and highly aromatic; abundant and 
annual bearer; vigorous, upright grower. August 
BURBANK. A long-standing favorite. The best of the Japs for this climate. Large, 
nearly globular, clear cherry red with a thin lilac bloom; deep yellow flesh, very sweet, 
with a peculiar, agreeable flavor. A straggling grower, usually begins to bear the 
second year after transplanting. Ripens in August. 
Abundance 
Shropshire 
Damson 
GERMAN PRUNE, a valuable Plum of fair quality for dessert, but most esteemed 
tor drying and preserving. Large, long oval, purple with a thick blue bloom; flesh 
nrm sweet and pleasant, separating from the stone. Hardy and in constant demand. 
Moderate grower. September. 
GAGE. An old-fashioned favorite once found in every garden, well known in 
all sections, and a good seller in this vicinity. Still retains a high reputation second 
to none of the new and improved varieties. 
ITALIAN PRUNE. The Italian or Fellenburg is the largest, best, and one of the most 
widely grown of all Prunes. Long, oval shape, rich purplish black; almost dark wine 
color, overspread with a thick blue bloom. It is a very large size, flesh firm, yellow, 
aromatic, juicy, rich, sweet and very good to best quality. Fine flavor for dessert and 
cooking Keeps and ships well. Succeeds everywhere except in the more Southern 
states. Late bloomer. 
SH ROPSHI RE DAMSON. This variety has been a standard for years and is the most 
extensively planted Plum in this section. Trees are upright in character of growth 
and usually bear great crops when given congenial soil. Succeeds everywhere Plums 
will grow. Sure demand at local markets. 
WICKSON. Very large, deep maroon red; popular Japanese variety; flesh very firm, 
yellow, cling, sub-acid, rich. An excellent variety, but too often a shy bearer. 
QUINCES 
Of late the Quince is attracting a great deal of attention as a market fruit. Scarcely 
any fruit will pay better in the orchard. The tree is hardy and compact in growth, 
requiring but little space; productive, gives regular crops and comes early into bearing. 
I he fruit is much sought after for canning. It flourishes in any good soil, which should 
be kept mellow and well enriched. Prune off all the dead and surplus branches, and thin 
out the fruit if bearing too freely. 
ORANGE or APPLE. Large, orange shaped, fine, golden, firm flesh of excellent flavor. 
The finest of the old varieties. Trees bear when young; are very productive. Best 
known of all the Quinces. Good market prices. 
CHAMPION. Flavor equal to that of the Orange variety. Ripens about two weeks 
later. Strong tree, free grower, more like an Apple than a Quince, usually comes into 
bearing the second or third year. Very productive, and of the largest size; flesh cooks 
very tender, free from hard spots or cores found in other varieties. 
APRICOTS 
They were the best lot of Peach Trees I have 
ever seen.

Apricots are not extensively grown in the East, yet they are more easily grown than Peaches 
and will stand an even lower temperature than Peaches without being injured in the bud. They 
can be profitably grown commercially almost anywhere Peaches will succeed. Apricots should at 
least be grown for home use. We offer the HARDY RUSSIAN variety, a native of Kansas, where 
even Peaches are not hardy. If you can grow Peaches, by all means plant some Apricots. 
NECTARINES 
The Nectarine is another delicious fruit too seldom grown in the East. The Nectarine is scarcely 
more than a fuzzless Peach. The tree, habits, and the quality of the fruit are very much like those 
of the Peach with the exception of the fruit being smooth like a Plum. 
Great improvements have been made in the varieties of Nectarines n the last few years. We are 
or the first time offering the SURE-CROP, a New Zealand variety recently imported to this 
country by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The fruit is large, bright red, and has a very 
pleasant flavor. The tree is hardy and productive. The flesh of the fruit is white, juicy, fine grained, 
tender, sweet, aromatic, and very good in quality. 
The SU RE-CROP has been thoroughly tested out by the New York Fruit Testing Association 
and is pronounced the best white flesh Nectarine so far planted on the station grounds. If you can 
grow I eaches, there is no reason why you should not grow Nectarines.
