two weeks earlier than Abundance, hardy in bud and* bloom; loaded down with magnificent plums in '9? when Abundance, etc., were all killed. Ripe June 28, here in N. E. Mo.; ready to ship some days earlier; colors a solid red, even if picked when just turning, hence outsells Abundance, and all partly colored sorts. Doesn't drop; juicy, good/a delicious canning plum, with finest Damson flavor. Red June Trees planted Spring '94, yielded June '95, the second year, over a gallon per tree of large, fine, well ripened plums.

If you plant for profit, figure a little.
