THE SUGAR PRUNE AND 

 ITS PARENTS 



The Sugar Prune was developed by 

 selection from a cross between the 

 French prune and the Hungarian 

 prune. From the former it inherited 

 sweetness and flavor and from the lat- 

 ter size. It improved on each parent, 

 however, manifesting, also, a most un- 

 usual vigor. The French prune is still 

 largely grown in California, but this 

 and others of its improved descendants 

 must ultimately displace it.
