Perfect Plum Seedling 



This seedling contrasts markedly with the one on 



page 298 and considerably with those on page 300. It is 



nearly two feet tall; its stalk is relatively thick, and absolutely perpcn- 



dicular; it has a fine spread of symmetrically arranged branches; and 



its leaves (shown in smaller scale than the others because of the larger 



size of the tree) are oj perfect shape and of fine color and texture. This 



seedling may be depended on to make a tree far superior to 



those shown in the other illustrations. Mr. Burbank 



confidently selects this seedling as the 



future bearer of valuable fruit.
