GROW PLUMS FOR ADDED PROFITS 
PINK PRUNE (New) 
A Promising New Pink Prune of Highest Quality 
and Market Ability. 
Most Beautiful of All Prunes. 
This new Pink Prune comes to us from the orchards 
of Hiram Burkholder of Clyde, Ohio. The tree is a 
vigorous grower, well shaped and long lived. Foliage 
somewhat susceptible to Plum Leaf Spot but not near 
as bad as Stanley. The fruit is Prune type, beautiful 
pink skin with an over all bloom. A clingstone which 
hangs singly on the limb and is much more resistant 
to Brown Rot than varieties such as Lombard, Grand 
Duke and Yellow Egg. It has a good thick skin and 
ships well. Due to its beauty, gize and exceptional 
edible quality, we recommend Pink Prune as a good 
market type and believe it to be a valuable addition to 
our Plum list. Trees are limited and can only supply 
in 1 year stock this season. 
GOLD DUST 
A Delicious Plum of the Green Gage Type 
First observed by us growing in Hudson Valley, N. Y. 
The fruit is medium size, golden yellow in color, juicy, 
sweet, with a typical Green Gage Flavor. The tree is a 
strong grower, very hardy and annual-in its bearing 
habits. Resistant to fungus diseases. A freestone when 
full ripe. Trees limited. 
HALL 
Cross between Gold Drop and Grand Duke. The fruit 
of this variety leaves a little more to be desired in a 
Plum for either dessert or culinary purposes. It is 
very large, handsome and fine flavor. Tree medium size 
and very productive. Tender to cold, however, and 
should be planted only on protected locations. 1 year 
trees. 
OUR FINEST DAMSON TYPES 
BLUE REX DAMSON ?zifnnd Sai 
to be the finest of all Damsons yet introduced. The 
tree seems to be hardy, is fast growing and productive. 
The fruit is about the same size as Shropshire but 
ripens ten days earlier, is high in quality and of better 
appearance than_ the old type Damsons. We recom- 
mend Blue Rex Damson for both home and commercial 
plantings. 
SHROPSHIRE DAMSON 2° 0a tower 
a good grower 
and enormously productive; fruit of medium size, pro- 
duced in thick clusters or groups, dark purple color, 
esteemed for preserving. 
FRENCH DAMSON 
French Damson is outstanding for its productivity 
and hardiness. It bears abundantly and blooms late 
enough to resist late frost and to pollinate such varieties 
as Stanley, Pacific and Bradshaw. Fruit hangs well to 
the tree even when full ripe and ripens a little later 
than the Shropshire Damson. It is most resistant to 
Brown Rot, is a freestone when fully ripe and is con- 
sidered one of the best Plums of its type. 1 year trees 
only. 
A Satisfied Customer in Mississipp1. 
Jackson, Miss., Sept. 1, 1947 
Dear Sirs: 
Whenever your new catalogue comes out, I would like 
to have a copy. 
My 75 Erly-Red-Fre which I got from you five years 
ago are very fine in size, color and quality. My cus- 
tomers like them very much, and I am highly pleased 
with them. 
Please give me your recommendation for a succession 
of white and yellow peaches throughout the season for 
local market. 
Yours very truly, 
George S. Hamilton
