THE STANDARD PRUNE 



The Sugar prune had no real rival 

 until the Standard was produced. 

 This is a cross between the Sugar 

 and the Tragedy prune. It combines 

 the good qualities of both parents, 

 and has the very important quality of 

 being a freestone^ the stone being so 

 loose in the cavity that it may be heard 

 to rattle when the ripe fruit is shaken. 

 In exquisite flavor when dried, no fruit 

 of any kind surpasses it. (Natural size 

 of well- grown specimens.)
