RED JUNE, the coming Japan Plum. 
After fruiting Red .June, four seasons, it proves to be worth ?n<?rethan 
all the other Ivy^enty odd Japs we have fruited put together Large size, 
most beautiful red color, good quality, etc. But above and beyond all, 
very early and very hardy in bud and blossom. Loaded down with 
magnificent plums this year when Abundance, Burbank, etc., in same 
orchard were a failure—killed in bud. Ripens so early it also escapes 
that other twin-enemy of the Japs—the fruit-rot. Ripened this year 
June 28 ; was ready to ship several days earlier ; colors perfectly even 
if picked wlnn just turning; juicy, of good quality and a ddicioue 
canning plum, with, as President Berckmans says, “ a Damson ” flavor. 
Tree very vigorous and hardy ; large orchard trees of Bed June and 
Burbank are perfectly sound and healthy, while Abundance, Maru, 
etc., show injury from the severe winters; and Satsuma, Berckman’s 
(Sweet Botan), etc., are badly winter killed. 
Four years ago we said, “ Red June seems, without doubt, the most 
valuable market plum produced up to this time.” Read “is” for 
“seems” and you have our present opinion. Nor are we h lone. We 
have many tf stimonials, but no need to add to these letters received 
from the three greatest authorities on the .Japanese plums : 
Luther Burbank, Cal., July 27, 1895: “Red June/rwitecl well this sewson 
with me. It is very Jarye, firm and handsome and the tree a rapid grower. I 
think it a splendid market plum ” 
Prof. L. H. Bailey, Cornell Exp. Staiion, July 29,1895: “Red June is just 
now ripening with us. It is very much superior to Willard and is the best 
EARLY JAP I have seen.” Later: “We have just finished picking Red June 
and I AM CONVINCED that it is the best Japanese plum tested here next to 
Burbank.” Later, Prof. Bailey writes us for “ Fifty 1-year first-class trees of 
Red June, for my own use.” 
President P. J. Berckmans, Ga., Sept. 5,1895: “ There will be a big demand 
for Red June. I have for four years past advi.sed our orchardists to plant 
it largely, but without avail; and now everybody asks for it. Mr. Rumph 
had 15,000 Abundance trees in bearing this year and made a handsome thing out 
of them, but if he had shipped Red June instead and fully 10 to 15 days 
earlier, the returns would have been even larger.”
