PLUMS 
Abundance. Medium to large, round 
with blunt-pointed apex; pinkish red 
changing to purplish red with thick 
bloom and numerous medium-sized dots. 
Flesh greenish yellow, juicy, sweet or 
slightly sub-acid; pit small. Cling; best 
quality. A prolific, strong grower. A 
popular and profitable early Plum for 
planting in northern sections and in 
many parts of the South. 
Burbank. Large to very large, rounded 
and blunt-pointed; dark red, mottled 
over yellow ground; thick bloom and 
numerous large dots. Flesh deep yellow, 
juicy, sweet, firm; pit small. Cling; 
quality one of the best. Tree very 
vigorous; upright branches with large 
leaves. Very popular both North and 
South, but not adapted to the Lower 
South. 
Excelsior. This variety was introduced 
by Mr. Taber in 1887. Experienced 
fruit-growers put Excelsior at the top 
of the Plum list; therefore home-garden 
owners may expect equally good results. 
The fruit ripens early in June, is a bright 
wine-red, 2 inches or more in diameter, 
with lots of juice and a real Plum flavor. 
If you like Plums, plant Excelsior. 
Kelsey. Very large, heart-shaped, long- 
pointed, usually lop-sided with deep 
suture; greenish yellow sometimes 
flushed with red, covered with thick 
bluish bloom; very showy. Flesh light 
yellow, meaty; flavor rich, pleasant, 
quality excellent. Prolific and bears 
while young. Highly recommended for 
the colder sections, but not dependable 
far south.

washed with red. Crimson flesh; juicy, 
excellently flavored. Prolific. 
Red June. Medium to large, lop-sided; 
vermilion-red all over with delicate 
bloom; very showy. Flesh light yellow,

sub-acid; pit small. Cling; flavor pleas- 
ant; quality very good. Tree vigorous 
and prolific. A good variety. 
Satsuma. Medium to large, broadly 
conical, with blunt, short point and deep

greenish dots. Flesh purplish red; pit 
small. Free; firm, juicy; quality ex- 
cellent. A splendid keeper and good 
shipper.

dots and mottlings. Flesh greenish 
yellow, very juicy and aromatic. One 
ot the best.
