We have been honored with a commission from Luther Burbank, of Santa Rosa, California, 
and have accepted the work of propagating for, and introducing to the Horticultural Public his 
grand new plum Maynard and appeal to all lovers of good fruits to help us in the introduction and 
dissemination of this his latest and greatest effort. Mr. Burbank has done more than any other 
living man in the introduction of new and valuable varieties of fruits and flowers, and he is still 
working away and no doubt will bring forth from nature’s storehouse many more valuable varieties 
that in turn will stimulate coming generations to plant and care for trees and flowers that will 
increase the world’s wealth and add pleasure and happiness to the homes of millions of people yet 
unborn. 
The Maynard Plum begins to ripen about July ist at Santa Rosa, Cal., following closely after 
that other magnificent introduction of Burbank, Climax, and just at a season of the year when 
plums are in best demand in the great markets ; but instead of coming and going swiftly as is the 
regrettable habit of plums, the season of ripening for the Maynard extends all through July and 
lar into August, 
In size it is very large, often measuring seven and one-halt* inches or more in circumference ; 
form nearly round, slightly flattened at the ends; of richest crimson-purple, deepening to royal 
damask as full ripeness is reached. A more beautiful fruit were hard to imagine. The flesh is firm 
even when dead ripe, but melting and juicy with a deliciousness indescribable. Besides this com¬ 
bination of beauties to delight the eye and palate, the ripe fruits have a charming fragrance unusual 
to plums. Few fruits could please so many of the senses as this new beauty, now added to Mr. 
Burbank’s list of triumphs.
