(See page 3.) Professor Bailey also says : " For the past four or five years these Plums have awakened more interest throughout the country than any other new or recent type of fruits, and it has been found, contrary to the early opinion, that many of them are adapted to the Northern states. They possess various desirable characteristics which the others do not, particularly great vigor and productiveness of tree, comparative freedom from disease, great beauty and great keeping ; At the Wiscasset Farm, Mount Pocono, Pa., four varieties of Japanese Plums have been tested—Abundance, Burbank, Satsuma and Willard. In early bearing and productiveness they far excel all common varieties, yielding pecks of fruit where others yield quarts, while in fqrm, color, quality and size they are entirely satisfactory. Trees planted in the spring of 1893 produced in the third season from one-half bushel to a bushel of fruit per tree. Another very impor- tant factor is that the four varieties give fruit from the middle of July until the last of September. Joseph Meehan, the veteran horticulturist, and editor of Meghan's Monthly, has the following to say about the Japanese Plums: "Looking over the field of fruits, I think the most notable advance has been with Plums. That the Japanese sorts are of great value is beyond doubt. Besides their excellent quality, they are the most healthy growers, and they have proved quite hardy as far north as the vicinity of Lake Ontario, where many sorts have been successfully fruited. Then, again, some of the sorts ripen much earlier than others before grown ; one of them, the Willard, having ripened it fruit at Geneva, N. Y.,
