It ripens along through five or six weeks, and if picked before ripe will ripen and color up perfectly, and will keep sound a week or two when fully ripe The cut which shows the comparative sizes of Golden and Robinson also shows the form of the hybrid. The color is clear, semi-transparent, light golden yellow, which, later is nearly overspread with a hazy carmine blush, making it probably the handsomest Plum in existence. I have never seen a Plum tree which perfects so much fruit, and has it so evenly distributed as this one.

It is one of the most beautiful Plums that we have ever seen, looking far more like an old- time Nectarine than a Plum. Mr. Burbank deserves great credit for the successful energy he is pursuing in improving this class of ;—Meehan's Monthly. "The Plums came in perfect condition. They are a great surprise in shape, color and fla
