A GROUP OF STONELESS PLUMS 



The original from which Mr. Burhank's numerous stoneless plums 

 developed, is a Euronean fruit no larger than the smallest of the 

 above specimens. The picture illustrates the variation among seed- 

 lines, and the remarkable development in size of the better varieties, 

 brought about through cross-breeding. There is a corresponding im- 

 provement in the quality of the fruit.
