He has been an annual purchaser of us ever since, and has just sent in an order for 125 more plum trees. The Lombard is a great favorite for the following reasons: The tree seems to adapt itself to any locality ; it is extremely hardy, producing good crops where many varieties will not even grow; it is a strong grow- ing tree—trees on our grounds 5 years of age being as large again as some other varieties planted the same year ;itisexceedingly product- ive. My experience has been that it outyields most other varieties, and yet all varieties of plums are remarkably productive. It is not equal to some varieties in quality, and yet it is enjoyable eaten out of hand and desirable for canning and other domestic purposes. Those who are not familiar with the superior varieties would consider this deli- cious. The fruit usually hangs so thick on the limbs that we are com- pelled to thin out one-half. The more you thin it, the larger, brighter and better the remaining fruit will be. It is a handsome red- dish plum, the flesh yellow, juicy and pleasant. Season, August. More than one of the leading fruit grow- ers have planted the Lombard tree especially for a stock for top bud- ding and grafting- slow growing varieties, as it is one of the most vigorous growers, and gives great satisfaction for this purpose. It is an excellent variety anyway, and should be planted more or less in all gardens and orchards. It can be relied upon for a crop every time there are plums, and often when some other varieties fail. Green, Dear Sir:—In spring of
