A NEW PLUM AND ITS 

 WILD ANCESTOR 



When plants grow wild there is little 

 need for large quantities of luscious 

 meat; but as they come under cultiva- 

 tion the stone grows less and the meat 

 not only more, but better. This direct- 

 color photograph print is of one of my 

 largest hybrid plums and of a wild 

 plum, such as grows in the woods near 

 Santa Rosa; both are the actual size. 

 The large one was raised from the seed 

 of the small one here shown.
