SELECT PLUMS. A List of Thoroughly Tested American, European and Japanese Varieties. Abundance. Japanese. Orange-yellow and red. Early September or late August. Imported by Luther Burbank in 1884. Fruit medium size (or large when thinned), varying in shape from nearly spherical to distinct sharp- pointed, usually with a pointed apex. Ground color rich yellow, overlaid on sunny side with dots and splashes of red, or in some specimens nearly uniformly blush-red on the exposed side. Flesh deep yellow, juicy and sweet, of good quality when ripe. Cling. A strong grower and upright tree, with rather narrow leaves, and a decided tendency to overbear. One of the sweetest and best. Fruit very thin-skinned with tender, melting flesh. This is one of the best known of all the Japanese Plums in the North, and its popularity is deserved. Is called True Sweet Botan bv Abundance. Apple. New. Japanese. Deep reddish purple. September and October. American origin. Procured from Luther Burbank, the "Wizard of Horticulture," who thus describes it: Among the welcome surprises found three years ago among a lot of some twenty-five thousand Plum seedlings was this one, bearing a cruel load of enormous Plums when only two years old. It was at once named Apple, from the very close resemblance in form, color, gen- eral appearance, and rare keeping qualities. The tree is a fine, strong grower. The fruit averages about 23^ inches in diameter, is striped and mottled until nearly ripe, when it turns to a deep, reddish purple. The superlatively rich, high-flavored, sweet or subacid flesh is rather firm, pale red, with marblings and streaks of pink; nearly freestone. Ripens here (California) soon after Burbank, and sometimes keeps a month or moreinlgood condition. America. New. Japanese. Brigh
