FRUITS OF THE METHLEY PLUM. 
(Prunus salicina X cerasifera myrobalana, S. P. I. No. 31652.) 
The Methley plum has firm, dark red, very sweet flesh of the finest 
texture. The fruit is of good size and is an excellent shipper. At 
College Station, Tex., it matures during the first week of May. 
It is perhaps the earliest ripening plum in this country. (Photo-
