BASSETT & BOTAN PLUM. THE BOTAN PLU/U. The introduction of an entirely new race of plums from Japan is destined to revolutionize plum culture, especially in localities where the ravages of the curculio render it almost impossible to get a crop of the European sorts. From personal observation, we are convinced that this new race will be exempt from their attacks. We are also convinced that the (Red) Botan is the best adapted of them for exten- sive culture all over the United States. It is a plum of very fine quality, uniformly of good size, in color rich yellow suffused with red, deep red cheek and covered with a fine bloom. In vigor of growth and productiveness it has no equal in our fruits. We have seen little one-year trees loaded with plums. It is very early in ripening—August in our latitude—and will command a good price in market, as plums are scarce at that season. We would caution parties against another plum brought from Japan under the name of Botan, which is a yellow plum of entirely different character and of no great value ; as above described, the true Botan has a fine deep red cheek, which gives it a most attractive appearance when offered in market. There has been much carelessness in sending out plums from Japan, on the principle that anything would "go " if it only came from Japan ! As with persim- mons, oranges and other fruits, there are many varieties in Japan, and only the best should be taken. One-year trees, each, 30 cents; dozen, Postpaid at single rate. Cape May Co., N; J. Wm. F. Bassett & Son. Sirs: Seeds were received in fine condition. Many thanks for promptness and also for the extras. Yours, etc.,
