Burbank’s Great FLAMING DELICIOUS plum— 
Early, Red-Flesh, Freestone. Our experts agree that 
this is the outstanding variety of all the early hybrids 
of this type produced by Mr. Burbank—a Fit EARLY 
Teammate for Elephant Heart which is its Half-brother. 
Ripens about two weeks ahead of Elephant Heart and 
should be planted with it to lengthen the season of 
plums of this type. 
This plum is enormous size—full grown specimens 
measuring 2 to 214 inches or more in diameter. Color 
beautiful waxy, shining red, while THE FLESH IS A 
GLORIOUS BLOOD RED clear to the pit. 
The flavor is what the name implies—Delicious, 
Sweet, Rich, and Juicy. A Perfect Freestone, has small 
seed, and unlike most plums, so firm that it ships and 
goes on the market in splendid condition. Tree vigorous 
grower. Hardy and can be safely planted almost any- 
where hybrid plums grow. Heavy bearer—28 huge 
plums on limb the size of a man’s thumb. See No. 2 on

N 11 Trade\ Very Early Plum. Sweet, Juicy. 
Oo. Mark } One of Burbank’s Best Creations. 
A very early large, beautiful, translucent yellow hybrid plum. Early Gold (Shiro) is one of 
Burbank’s most successful early introductions. It is extraordinarily prolific and vigorous, suc- 
ceeding well north and a great favorite in the south. The handsome glossy fruit is round, bright 
golden yellow in color and very striking in appearance. The flesh is tender, juicy, sweet and 
melting as a huge honey drop. The tree is large, vigorous, spreading and extremely productive, 
sometimes requires pruning or thinning to prevent overbearing. 
_Into the parentage of Early Gold, a Burbank origination, went the hardy cherry plum of the 
Caucasus, the Simonii plum of China, the early bearing Triflora plum of Japan, and the rugged 
Munson plum of our own southern states. The final result is a large, beautiful, delicious, hardy, 
productive plum which belongs in every home orchard and is excellent for shipping. One of the ne Bur- 
most popular of all Burbank Plum Creations. Eating, cooking, canning, markets. NCS. Ridecedcenis
