There has been a most remarkable contemporaneous evolu- 

 tion of plums from the native species. Many varieties have been 

 described, and they are grown over a wide range of country. 



All our native plums, with few exceplions, requiie cross-pol- 

 lination, but as a rule they are inter-fertile, so that any one va- 

 riety will fertilize any other variety, providing the two bloom 

 at the same time. This is of the greatest importance in adjust- 

 ing the varieties to one another for cross-pollination. To deter- 

 mine which kinds bloom together, make very careful observa- 

 tions or look at the published tables for your latitude.
