fic on your order, otherwise we will use our own discretion. 
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 
drying for those who favor a sweet dried Prune. Skin 
reddish purple. 
Demaris. An early variety of Italian Prune, grown exten- 
sively for commercial shipping; ripening about one week 
before the regular Italian. 
French or Petite. Extensively used for drying, because of 
its fine texture and sweetness. It has a reddish-purple 
coler, medium size fruit. 
Italian (Fellenberg). Probably the best known commercial 
and all-around Prune in the Northwest. It is used exten- 
sively for drying and fresh market. Large size, oval- 
shaped, dark purple skin, rich amber, tart-sweet flavor; 
fine shipper. Trees very prolific. August to September. 
Sugar. A very large Prune with dark purple skin; rich yel- 
low 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 years ago. Fruit very similar to 
the Italian but is larger in size, and sweeter. 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.
