French Improved. Identical with the 
larger sizes, and the trees being of a 
French prune in every respect. Its su¬ 
periority consists in the fruit running to 
more willowy habit than the general run 
of French prune trees.

shape, light yellow skin; flesh firm, rich 
and sweet, and adheres to the stone. 
Fruit shaped like a prune, with the qual¬ 
ities of a plum. A very heavy bearer. 
Coates 1418 (Also known as Date and 
Saratoga). This is a sweet prune, nearly 
as large as Italian and so far has proven 
to be an annual and prolific bearer; has 
had a full crop in seasons when Italian 
prunes failed to set fruit. A good dryer, 
drying out heavier per bushel than the 
Italian. 
Sugar Prune. A large, dark purple, 
very sweet prune. A good home fruit. 
Imperial. Large, sweet, reddish purple, 
good quality. This is a good pollinizer 
for other prune trees.

Italian Prune which has been grown for 
many years. Medium, oval, tapering at

lar old standard Petite Prune grown for 
many years in the Willamette Valley.

prune extra fine for eating. Good to sell 
fresh on the Fresh Fruit Markets. Comes

canning but not so good for shipping or 
drying.
