REQUIRE LITTLE 
SPACE—EASILY GROWN 
PLUMS 
STANLEY PRUNE 
Introduced by the New York Ex- 
periment Station and recommended 
as one of the best of all the Prunes. 
Excellent for cooking and eating 
from hand. Vigorous, annual bearer.

tender, and sweet. Very best quality. 
Midseason. 

They are delicious, easily grown, and 
have a good local demand at a satisfactory 
price. Plums have many uses—including 
eating from hand, preserving, canning, 
drying, etc. Trees require little space, bear 
young, and most generally are annual, 
prolific bearers.

Oriental varieties. Lemon yellow ground, 
over-spread with bright cherry. A heavy 
bloomer. Large, oblong, tapering to the 
point. Flesh orange yellow, melting, rich, 
and highly aromatic; abundant and an- 
nual bearer; vigorous, upright grower.

PEARS 
Pears will continue to be scarce and sell for good prices as 
few have been planted within the past twenty years. Plant 
now for both home use and market. 

CAYUGA 
An improved Seckel possessing all the 
good qualities of the popular old Seckel, 
but is much larger. Equally as resistant to 
blight. 
Clapp’s Favorite. Very good quality, us- 
ually the first on the market. Lemon 
yellow faintly splashed with crimson. 
Garber. Rapid grower; good quality. 
Splendid where assortment is desired. 
Ripens in September. 

Nectarine 
NECTARINES 
The Nectarine is another delicious fruit 
too seldom grown in the East. The Nec- 
tarine is scarcely more than a fuzzless 
Peach. The tree, habits, and the quality 
of the fruit are very much like those of 
the Peach with the exception of the fruit 
being smooth like a Plum. 
Great improvements have been made in 
the varieties of Nectarines in the last few 
years. We offer the Sure-Crop, which 
was imported from New Zealand by the 
United States Department of Agriculture. 
The fruit is large, bright red, and has a 
very pleasant flavor. The tree is hardy and 
productive, justifying all that the name 
Sure-Crop implies. The flesh of the fruit 
is white, juicy, fine grained, tender, sweet, 
aromatic, and very good in quality. 
German Prune. A valuable Plum of fair 
quality for dessert, but most esteemed 
for canning and preserving. Large, long 
oval, purple. Flesh firm, sweet, and 
pleasant, separating from the stone. 
September. 
Green Gage. An old-fashioned favorite 
once found in every garden, well-known 
in all sections, and a good seller in this 
vicinity.
