excellent. Good keeper and early shipper. 10 to 14 days ahead of

“BEAUTY SEEDLESS (T). A new UC. introduction, it is jet-black, 
with a heavy bluish bloom, and SEEDLESS! Similar in size to 
Thompson Seedless. Ripens early, with Perlette. Late July. 
RUBY CABERNET (+). A University of California successful at- 
tempt to combine high quality and heavy-yielding ability within 
the same wine variety. It buds out late in the spring. The vine is 
a very vigorous grower and is productive enough with spur prun- 
ing so that more costly pruning systems are not necessary. The 
fruit clusters are borne on long peduncles, hang free and are 
easily located and harvested. The fruit remains in excellent con- 
dition on the vine, and is not injured to any great degree by 
sunburn or spoilage. Makes excellent quality claret-type wine. 
™ BLACK ROSE (* or +) (T). Berries are large, jet-black with light 
grayish bloom. Eating quality superior to Ribier, having tender 
flesh and a distinctive delicious flavor. Heavy bearer. Ripens in 
early mid-season, slightly before Ribier. August to September.

most black plum of good keeping quality. Flesh hard, amber 
color when ripe, sweet, somewhat dry. Very vigorous grower.

son fruit similar to Santa Rosa with the period of fruiting one 
month later. New improved non-cracking variety. Early August.

Rosa or Late Santa Rosa. Ripens in the Late Santa Rosa s2ason.

~RED HEART (J). A new plum similar to Duarte—ripening a little 
later than Santa Rosa and a little before Duarte. It is a medium- 
sized, blood plum with bright, even-red flesh and dark purplish- 
red skin covered with a moderate grey bloom. It is not self-fruit- 
ful, must be cross-pollinated. Good pollenizers are Becky Smith, 
Elephant Heart, and Wickson. Of special interest to plum grow- 
ers is the fact that Red Heart will set fruit on the Elephant Heart 
(which has lots of commercial merit), as well as produce an ex- 
cellent crop of its own when cross-pollinated by Elephant Heart. 
It appears to have a fairly high chilling requirement so may be 
restricted to colder areas. 
“ SANTA ROSA (J). Large, oval, purplish crimson fruit, well covered 
with light blue blooms. Flesh firm, purplish next to skin, yellow 
veined, pink toward pit. Mid-June. Self pollinizer.
