THE APPLE PLUM 



It is difficult for the casual observer 

 to believe at first that the plum here 

 represented is not an apple, as it has 

 the form, color, general appearance, 

 and rare keeping qualities of the fruit 

 that suggested its name. It is a 

 remarkably free grower, having led 

 to the comment that buds and grafts 

 of this variety "would probably grow 

 if fired among the trees from a shot- 

 gun."
