So we all four sat together in the shade of the Japanese medlar-tree and talked about the changes in the town since my last visit.

A Chinese Plum of somewhat slender growth, and with the branches wreathed in small, white flowers.

This is notably the case with many Japanese plums, which, if not thinned, are very inferior.

The American wild plum crosses readily with almost any other plum and particularly well with the Japanese plum.

But they're to stay there until some of those black-gum trees begin to glut the market with yellow clings and Japanese plums.

Here and there one sees the guava, the Japanese persimmon, Japanese plum, or some similar exotic-butgrapes and oranges are the principal product.

My first experience with Japanese plums convinced me that I had solved the plum problem; they bore loads of fruit, and were free from disease.
