THE ORIGINAL AND THE 

 FINISHED PRODUCT 



This picture thawi the wonderful 

 contrnxt in mxe between the original 

 wild, partially atoneUn, plum and one 

 of the perfected stonelem prunet. 

 Many generations lie betxoeen the two, 

 yet the eesential character of partial 

 stonelesMneu that gave the little plum 

 its only value has been retained in the 

 remote descendant, while the strainM of 

 numerous culHoaied plums have been 

 bred in, so that the offspring of the 

 dwarf plum is now large in size and of 

 fine quality of flesh.
