NINE VARIETIES OF CROSS- 

 BRED PLUMS 



The picture shows some of the first 

 crosses between the Burbank and the 

 Satsuma. The various specimens here 

 shown illustrate the variety of charac- 

 teristics that come to the surface when 

 different races are crossed. The bloom 

 and crimson of the Satsuma and the 

 orange of the Burbank are clearly in 

 evidence. There is a wide enough 

 range of variation as to size, flesh, 

 stone, flavor, and sundry other charac- 

 teristics to afford ample opportunity 

 for selection.
