VARIETIES OF PLUMS AND PRUNES 



As with other fruits, comparatively few varieties of the plum are 

 largely grown in California, and the list is continually changing by 

 rejection of old varieties and introduction of new which are largely of 

 Burbank origin: 



Simon (Prunus Simoni). Medium to large, roundish, flattened, with cavities 

 at base and apex ; brick red, small yellow spots ; stalk stout and short ; flesh yel- 

 low, adhering to flattened pit; largely grown for shipment in early interior 

 regions where it has good quality ; lacks ' flavor and cracks badly near the 

 coast. Being displaced by Burbank varieties. 



Climax (Burbank). Large; very early; heart-shaped; deep red; flesh yellow. 

 Popular for shipping in places where it does not crack badly. Growing in favor.
