PRUNES 
EARLY ITALIAN—Fruit resembles the Italian in 
color, sweet, solid, rich amber. Fruit available to 
the market 10 days to two weeks ahead of the reg- 
ular crop. Especially good to get the premium on 
fresh fruit market. The trees are heavily foliaged as 
a plum and a fine producer. 
EARLY ITALIAN (Demaris Early Italian)—Commer- 
cial plantings of this variety, long in existance, have 
been confined to the Milton and Walla Walla dis- 
tricts. Trial plantings elsewhere have proven the 
adaptability of this variety to the same soils and 
growing conditions satisfactory to other varieties, 
During the past two years there has been a shortage 
of this prune due to the increased demand for stock. 
The fruit resembles the standard Early Italian in 
size, shape, and color but is somewhat sweeter. It 
ripens about two weeks earlier. It is in demand by 
the Eastern fresh markets at high prices. Leslie 
Demaris, Milton, Oregon, advises us that his 1938 
crop netted $100 per ton in carload lots F. O. B. 
Milton. 
Wood used to propagate this variety is supplied 
the Lafayette Nursery by Mr. Demaris. Our trees 
are therefore guaranteed to be true to name and of 
the best quality. We suggest you place your order 
early, while our stock lasts.
