Rockland Co. Nurseries, Blauvelt, N« Y. 5 JAPANESE PLUMS. These Plums have come to stay. In beauty and shipping quality their fruit far excels the European varieties, while their great productiveness and compara- tive freedom from black knot and cur- culio give them the lead as market sorts.

Tree a handsome, upright grower. HALE. We find Hale the strongest grower of all. Described by Luther Burbank as " a tremendous bearer of fruit of the size, form, color and quality of Imperial Gage, with much smaller ; WICKSON. Fruit of largest size ; deep maroon-red ; rich and very aromatic. Luther Burbank says of it, as grown on the Pacific coast : " Growers who have invested in this variety have made large profits, as it has found ready sale at prices never before realized
