Burbank the l, ;JL_j Kieffer Pear. Plums The Plum delights in a cool, not too dry, sit- uation, and attains its greatest perfection on a rather heavy soil. Many of the best sorts are not self fertile, and although blooming abun- dantly, they must have the company of other varieties to enable them to mature fruit. There- fore, be sure to plant several varieties together. As no other fruit has a greater variety of uses, or is capable of satisfying as many dif- ferent tastes, the value of the plum in a com- mercial way is unlimited. The home orchard is not complete unless it contains at least a half dozen trees. Plant 15 to 20 feet apart. PRICES.—First class, 4 feet and up. Each, $; per 10, $; per 100, $ Red June, or Red Nagate.—Of medium size, pointed; thick skin of purplish red color; flesh yellow, solid, rather coarse grained, juicy; very prolific. Matures about the middle of June. Burbank.—Similar in all characteristics to Abundance, except that it is more globular. Of cherry-red color, mottled with yellow, and ten to fifteen days later. Wild Goose.—Chickasaw type. The best of this type. Large fruit of oblong shape; skin bright vermilion covered with blue bloom; richly acid. One of the oldest and best known of the native American Plums. Ripens end of June. Wickson.—A Plum of large size, and distinct, pointed shape. Of high quality, very firm, yellow flesh; pit small; dark crimson-purple when matured. Because it blooms so early it is often killed by late frosts in this section. Ripens last of July. Shropshire Damson.—European type. Of larger size than the old Blue Damson. Dark pur- ple; good quality. In great demand for pre- serving.
