The Blood Plum of
Satsuma
This is the plum
about which Mr. Bur-
bank read in the Mercan-
tile Library of San Fran-
cisco many years ago. His
interest was aroused and
he sent to Japan for the
plant, along with others,
and subsequently utilized
it to very great advantage
in his plant developing ex-
periments.  The original
Satsuma imported by Mr.
Burbank is the parent of
all the red-fleshed plums
now grown in
America.
