Date Prune. Also sometimes

fine grained and excellent for

sweet dried Prune. Skin red- 
dish purple.

dium sized sweet Prune. Fine 
texture and extensively used for

prolific bearer. 
Hungarian. One of the largest of Prunes. A. beautiful red 
skin; flesh juicy, rich and delicious. Its) appearance and 
quality make it a good market variety. September. 
Italian (Fellenberg). Probably the best known commercial and 
all-around Prune in the Northwest. It is used extensively for 
drying and fresh market. Large size, oval-shaped, dark pur- 
ple skin, rich amber, tart-sweet flavor; fine shipper. Trees

Sugar. A very large Prune with dark purple skin; rich yellow, 
juicy and very sweet flavored flesh. Ripens early. 
Weatherspoon. Well known commercially as the Early Italian. 
It is a seedling of the old Italian and introduced to the trade 
by us several vears ago. Fruit very similar in shape to the 
“round type” of the Italian but is larger in size, sweeter and 
a better shipper. The color has the same rich purple-blue but 
colors up and matures seven to ten days earlier than the 
Italian. This makes it one of the very finest and most profit- 
able commercial Prunes. Keeping and shipping quality also 
surpasses any other Prune. Trees very hardy and practically 
immune to red spider or other insect pests. Our stock is the 
true strain from the original tree.
