PLUMS AND PRUNES 



prophecy of the value of such of these new 

 plums and prunes as are finally chosen. They 

 are not only likely to supplant all those plums 

 hitherto produced by Mr. Burbank, as well as 

 those in existence when he began his work, 

 but, through the elimination of the pit and 

 the substitution in its place of that much 

 more nutriment, relentlessly drive out of the 

 market all the standard prunes which now 

 furnish the world's supply.
