APRICOTS 
Chinese. This is a comparatively new Apricot; 
however, it is well established as a variety 
having exceptionally high qualities for home 
use and commercial purposes and is constantly 
gaining favor over all other Apricots for ship- 
ping and canning, and also for its hardiness. 
The fruit is large size with a firm, fine grained 
texture, exceptionally sweet flavor and retains 
its rich Apricot color when canned. See col- 
ored illustration. 
Tilton. Very large size, rich apricot-yellow with 
flavor of the highest quality. Trees very pro- 
ductive. August. 
Wenatchee Moorpark. One of the largest size 
Apricots, about 244 inches in diameter. Color 
deep apricot with brownish red when ripened 
in the sun. Flesh firm, juicy and parting from 
the pit, pleasant sweet flavor. One of the very 
best canning and commercial varieties. Au- 
gust. 
PLUMS

shipping variety, popular and profitable, with 
increasing favor with planters. The fruit is

an excellent shipper. 
PRUNES 
Date Prune. Also sometimes called Coates 1418 
or Improved French Prune. This variety is 
sweeter and larger than the regular French 
Prune; very fine grained and excellent for

Italian (Fellenberg). 
around Prune in the Northwest. It is used extensively for drying and

Italian Prune 
PRUNES—Continued 
Probably the best known commercial and all- 
Weatherspoon. Well known commercially as the Early Italian. It is a 
seedling of the old Italian and introduced to the trade by us several 
years 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 profitable 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.
