GREENING’S BUD SELECTED VARIETIES of PLUMS 
and QUINCES BRING NEW SUCCESS and PROFITS! 
Th e demand for new varieties of healthful breakfast, dessert and salad fruits has stimulated 
prune, plum, quince, and apricot sales substantially. Unfamiliarity with these fruits has 
prevented many from profiting from them, although simple, easy to handle with ordinary 
culture. The Quince, for instance, bears for 40 years, handles easily in shipping, and is a 
fine "stand by" in homes everywhere. Greening varieties are completely dependable! 
LOMBARD (Luplow No. 4) —Medium size,- round-oval; violet-red; 
juicy, pleasant and sood; adheres to the stone. Tree vigorous and 
productive. A valuable market variety. One of the most hardy and 
popular. Ripens last of August. 
MONARCH (Luplow No. 2) —One of the most valuable of the 
late introductons from England. Tree robust with dense foliage,- 
an abundant bearer. Fruit very large, roundish oval; dark purple- 
blue; perfect freestone. 
REINE CLAUDE (Barden)— S urpassing in quality and richness of 
flavor nearly all varieties listed. Fruit large, greenish yellow,- flavor 
excellent. Season, September. The best of the Gage variety. 
SHROPSHIRE DAMSON (Nye No. 3) —The orchard containing 
this parent tree was set in 1912 and our records started in 1919. 
The parent tree of this strain was chosen because of early bearing 
and heavy annual production. This strain represents the very highest 
type for the variety. Fruit small, oval in shape; skin purple, covered 
with blue bloom; flesh melting and juicy, rather tart; separates 
partly from the stone. September. 
STANLEY PRUNE —This variety is a cross between Agen and 
Grand Duke. The fruit is of the prune type, excellent for cooking 
or eating out of hand. The tree is healthy, vigorous, and produces 
full crops annually. The fruit is large in size, prune shape, dark 
blue with thick bloom,- flesh greenish yellow, juicy, fine-grained, 
tender, firm, sweet, pleasant; quality good to very good; stone 
free; midseason. This is one of the outstanding new varieties.

ous white dots. Flesh yellow, rather coarse, sub-acid; fine for 
cooking. Tree vigorous and productive. Last of August. 
Japanese Plums

pollenizer for Burbank. Medium to large in size. Oblong, amber, 
nearly covered with bright red and overspread with a thick bloom. 
Flesh orange-yellow, juicy, melting and of a delicious sweetness. 
Small, freestone. Tree is a strong grower and an early and profuse 
bearer. Valuable for canning and market. August. 
BURBANK (Luplow)— One of the best of the celebrated Japanese 
varieties. Remarkably successful all over the country. Perfectly 
hardy. Succeeds in any soil. Abundant yearly bearer. Fruit large, 
roundish, dark red or purplish with thin lilac bloom,- flesh amber 
yellow with rich, sugary flavor,- small stone,- bears second year after 
planting. First to middle of August to September. Should be 
interplanted with Abundance to insure proper pollination.

grower and prolific bearer; one of the best for sections not subject

American 
and European Plums 
AUSTRIAN PRUNE (April) —Tree very vigorous, 
upright, perfectly hardy and is a young bearer and 
very prolific. The fruit of this Plum is the handsomest 
and largest in cultivation. The color is an attractive 
dark reddish purple. Flesh golden yellow, sweet 
and mild. Excellent quality. A good shipper and 
keeper. Ripens about the middle of September. Takes highest honors and prem¬ 
iums everywhere. 
ALBION PRUNE —The latest ripening good plum grown at Geneva. It belongs 
to the Grand Duke type, but its fruits are larger and better in quality. The tree 
is productive, strong and vigorous. All in all, Albion is one of the most remark¬ 
able new plums described in many years. 
BRADSHAW —Fruit very large, dark violet red; Resh yellowish green, juicy and 
pleasant. Tree vigorous, erect and productive. Ripens about the middle of August. 
CLYMAN (South Haven Experiment Station) —The Clyman Plum has special merit 
as one of the earliest good domestic sorts. The Ohio State Experiment Station 
and the South Haven Michigan Experiment Station from whom we secured the 
scions, recommended it very highly for an early home and market plum. The tree 
is rather large, vigorous and productive. Blooming season early and short. Fruits 
are very large. Color is a dark purplish-red with thick bloom. Flesh is pale 
yellow and dry, firm, sweet and mild but pleasant and of good quality,- stone free. 
GRAND DUKE (Hunt No. 6) —The favored late shipping Plum because of its very 
large size and beautiful color, being of a purple shade. Flesh very firm and meaty. 
A regular annual and abundant cropper. Usually free from rot and hang in good 
condition a long time. This strain maintains a high standard for this leading com¬ 
mercial variety. 
GREEN GAGE —See Reine Claude a far better variety, of the same type. 
GUEII —Tree a hardy, very strong, vigorous and upright grower, spreading with 
age and bearing. An early and very abundant bearer. Fruit medium size, roundish 
oval; skin dark purple, covered with a thick blue bloom,- Resh pale yellow, a 
little coarse, firm, juicy, sweet, sprightly, sub-acid, free-stone. Last of August 
and first of September. 
HALL PRUNE— A cross between Golden Drop and Grand Duke, two of the 
largest and handsomest European plums, but both below the mark in quality. 
Hall is better in Resh and flavor characters. The fruits are so handsome and well 
Ravored that they will sell in any market. The tree is nearly perfect. This is one 
of the best of the New York Experiment Station’s new Plums. 
ITALIAN PRUNE (FELLENBERG) (Farnsworth) —A fine late Plum,- undoubtedly 
the leading commercial prune variety,- oval, purple,- Resh juicy and delicious, 
parts from the stone,- fine for drying. September. 
Greening Bud Selection brings bigger, better, earlier bearing, more uniform crops.
