RED JUNE, the Coming Japan Plum. —After fruiting it four seasons, 
Red June proves to be WORTH MORE than all the other 20-odd Japs we have 
fruite X 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 es¬ 
capes that other twin-enemy of the Japs—the fruit-rot. Ripe June 28; was 
ready to ship several days earlier; colors perfectly even if picked when just 
turning; doesn't drop; juicy, of good quality and a cleRcfotis canning plum, with, 
as Pres. Berckman says, “a Damson flavor.” Tree very vigorous and hardy ; 
large orchard trees of Red June and Burbank are perfectly sound and healthy, 
while Abundance, Maru, etc., show injury from the severe winters, and Sat- 
suma, Berckman’s (Swt Botan), etc., are badly winter-killed. 
Four years ago 
we said, “ Red 
June seems 
without doubt 
the most valu- 
able market 
plum produced 
up to this time.” 
Read “ is ” for 
“seems” and 
you have our 
present opinion. 
Nor are we 
alone. We have 
many testimoni¬ 
als, but no need 
to add to these 
letters—received 
from the world’s 
three greatest 
authorities o n 
Japanese plums. 
Luther Burbank, Cal , July 27, 1895: “Red June fruited-well this season 
with me. It is very large, firm and handsome and the tree a rapid 
grower. I think it a splendid market plum ” 
Prof. L. H. Bailey, Cornell Exp. Station, 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.” 
Pres’t P J. Berckmans, Ga., Sept. 5,1895; “ There will be a big demand 
for Red June. I have for four years past advised 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.”
