Semi-Tropical and Temperate Fruit Trees and Plants IS PRUNUS triflora.*D. Oriental Plum. This strain of fine Plums la working a revolution in Plum culture in the South. With a proper selec- tion, fruit may be gathered from June to Septem- ber. We propagate only on Marianna stock, which never sprouts from the roots. Trees should be set from No- vember till February. In extreme South Florida these do not bear well, but grow well on good dry soil. Along the Gulf and up the Ohio River these are the coming fruits. Be rckmans, or Sweet Botan. Large, round, witli purplish green skin; flesh yellowish and firm, ripen- ing June 15 to July 5. Kelsey. The oldest and best-known sort, ripening quite late, from July 15 to end of August. Fruit large, green- ish yellow; pit small. A heavy bearer, and one of the best; excellent for drying. Burbank. Smaller fruit than Kelsey; color cherry-red; flesh deep yellow, firm and meaty; clingstone. Maturity middle to last of July. Abundance. Large, round, pointed apex; skin yellow, washed carmine and purple; flesh yellow, of apricot flavor. Largely planted. June 15 to July 5. Wickson. A grand new sort originated by Luther Burbank of California. Fruit very large, waxy white when half grown, when the color- changes to pink and finally to dark purple. Flesh firm, yellow, juicy, high-flavored. Clingstone. Quality best. 4®-Price of Plums, any sort, standard trees on plum (Marianna) roots, 4 to 5 feet, very fine, 25 cts. each, $2 per doz., $15 per 100 (not mailable). PRUNUS Persica* D. The Peach. The Per- sian type does not succeed in Florida, but from the more newly introduced Chinese varieties general success is had. The Peach delights in rich, well- drained soil, and in constant cultivation during the growing season. The following are the best for Florida : Angel. Large ; skin yellow, washed with red ; flesh white and of exquisite flavor, entirely free of noyau flavor. Ripens in June. Jewel. Almost identical with Waldo, but ripens a week or ten days earlier. Very favorable reports have been received from growers of this fruit during the past season. A fine acquisition for market. Oviedo. An excellent new Peach of medium size, highly colored; flesh light; freestone. Ripens early in July.
