Date Prune. Also sometimes 
called Coates 1418 or Im- 
proved 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. 
French or Petite. This is a me- 
dium sized sweet Prune. Fine 
texture and extensively used 
for a commercial drying 
Prune. A prolific bearer. 

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 pro- 
lific. 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 in shape 
and color but is larger in size and sweeter; and matures 
seven to ten days earlier than Italian. Keeping and ship- 
ping quality surpasses any other Prune. Trees very hardy 
and practically immune to red spider or other insect pests. 
We recommend planting 8 to 10 per cent Italian for pollen- 
izers. See colored illustration.
