Skin thick, firm, deep vermillion red
with very minute white specks; stem
short, strong, pit medium to large. Sep
, arates easily from flesh. Tree vigor-
| Gus grower; very productive. Branches
and leaves resemble the Heart cherries
in size and vigor. This is destined to
become the best shipping plum that
has come to my notice Originated by
Luther Burbank of Santa Rosa.
Juicy.-Hybrid of Robinson (Ameri-
CAM and Botan (Japanese). Tree much
more vigorous than the American
plums. Fruit quite large, oval, glossy
yellow, half transparent, productive
and good; pit rather large, thick; too
soft for shipping. Originated by Luther
Burbank of Santa Rosa
Bartlett.-A hybrid between Prunus
Simoni and Delaware. Fruit oval
conical, medium size, light yellowish
crimson, with smooth, polished,
glistening skin. All the branches grow
up perfectly straight. forming a dense,
upright handsome head. Leaves large
and as glossy as If vanished. Pro-
duces fruit abundantly the second sea-
son, of the size of a large Imperial
gage and when fresh from the tree
of most delicious flavor; clingStone; pit
medium to large; very far exceeding
the Bartlett pear at it's very best in
its rich, delicious, indescribable, pine
apple flavor and fragrance. being ex-
actly like the Bartlett pear in flavor,
but even more delicious. Productive,
but too soft for distant shipping. Orig
mated by. Luther Burbank of Santa
Rosa.
Shiro.-FIom Myrobolan, Wickson
and Robinson; a tri-specific hybrid.
Fruit egg shaped, medium size; suture
indistinct; smooth, bright yellow,
transparent; bloom thin white; cling;
quality good; remarkable for its great
productiveness, rivaling the Burbank
in this respect, strong grower, having
the appearance of a gigantic Myrobo
Ian plum in leaf, fruit and growth.
Originated by Luther Burbank OF
Santa Rosa.
Gold.-Parentage same as Juicy;
very large; almost perfectly globular;
golden yellow, overspread with q faint
carmine haze; exceedingly small pit;
cling; golden yellow flesh, quite firm;
a good shipper, and has been shipped
from California this season under the
name Late Klondike." Tree a slender
grower, with wiry branches; exceed
ingly productive; ripens late, last of
September. Originated by Luther Bur-
bank of Santa Rosa.

Pears

Pretty boxes and odors
are used to sell such
soaps as no one would
touch if he saw them un-
disguised. Beware of a
soap that depends on
something outside of it.
Pears, the finest soap
IN the world is scented or
not, as you wish; and the
money is in the merchan-
disc, not in the box.
All sorts of stores sell it, especially

another. / wanted to have fruit il
quantity large enough to give that
prune fair trial before putting it CT
the market. I first mentioned this
prune in my catalogue of 1859, and
though not giving out its old or newly
adopted name, think that I then said
little too much about that new prune
| thus awakening peoples interest and
curiosity about it, but / expected sure
ly at that time to put it on the market
in a year or two, but which was pre-
vented from doing because of scarcity
of trees, depending on parties in France
TO procure me the stock / wanted, say
1O,COO to $4,000 little trees which they
grated for me in the spring, but which
they were so unfortunate as to lose,
one year by a freshet that washed away
all the stock, and another year big
drought dried up everything.
Finally I did put the prune on the
market under it's newly adopted name
suggested by me, of 'Clairac Nam
MOTH in 1894. During that long
period however, l had enough fruit
to experiment upon, and found out,
the same as they did in France, that
| count of its juice, but that if cured
properly it made a. delicious prune. The
pulp of the prunes dried by me in
drier was of golden hue, and / never
had any Clairac Mammoth prunes
black in the center all around the
stone, as is the universal complaint
about the prune distributed through
out the State under the name of I'm
perial Epineuse.'
THE Imperial Epineuse' is so called
because of its large size, being as large
as an Imperial prune, and Epineuse
because of the numerous thorns (Epine,
in French) found on the body of the
tree in nursery row, these thorns or
spines on trees turning into fruit spurs
when ready to bear"

were made at the Agricultural Expert
ment Station at Berkeley last year and

wood. No plum could produce more
fruit or more constantly. Fruit very
large, oval, deep purple with a slight
bluish-white bloom Flesh dark yell
low, rich, sweet, juicy resembling I'm

The President in his banquet and re-

leaving the public mind in any obscur-
ity as to how he stands on the acqui-
sition question. 1t does not follow that
we are to colonize the Philippines, in
deed it has not been claimed seriously
that we could successfully do so, or that
it is at all desirable. But the Pres-
dent is making it clear that he will
stand for their retention and control as
min Kidd has so happily expressed it
in his recent monograph upon Control
of the Trops.''
