J. Berckmans1 Descriptive Catalogue. SECTION II.—PRUNUS MUME. THE APRICOT PLUM. This type is worthless outside of the Orange zone; it will not secceed where the Peen-To peach fails. Several varieties have been introduced, some produce small double rose colored flowers, others small single white blooms; all bloom here during February or early in March, hence fruit sets very seldom unless some flowers expand unusually late when a crop of fruit follows. Fruit is small, oblong, orange yellow, with apricot flavor, but of poor quality. Ripened here middle of May. Thirteen varieties are described by Japanese growers. We have tried Bungo and another unnamed sort, but cannot recommend either for the middle sections of Georgia. SECTION III.—PRUNUS SIMONI. SIMON'S CHINESE APRICOT PLUM. A remarkable fruit indeed. This was intro- duced 20 years ago from China by Mr. Eugene Simon (then French Consul in China), and the first trees disseminated from the old nurseries of Simon Bros., at Metz Plantieres (Alsace-Lor- raine). The tree is of attractive, erect and com- pact habit; flowers very small; fruit large, flat- tened, two and one-half to two and three-quar- ter inches broad, by one and three-quarters to two inches through, and very much resembles a tomato; flesh yellow, fine grained, and exceed- ingly firm; juicy, acid, and combining the most remarkable flavors of pear, apple, pineapple and muskmelon; quality best; begins to ripen June 15 and lasts until July 15; a shy bearer. JAPANESE PERSIMMONS. DIOSPYROS KAKI. After having fruited many varieties for the past twelve consecutive years, the question as to the value of this fruit for the cotton-growing belt of the Southern States is satisfactorily settled.
