Many Plums on One Tree 



A typical branch of a plum tree in Mr. Burbank's 



orchard. Crowing within easy reach are Jour or five varieties of 



plums that are very different from one another in size and Jorm and 



color, as well as in quality oj flesh. OJ course these plums are o/ 



quite different ancestry, and they would not have grown 



normally on the same tree. But Mr. Burbank grafts 



cions oj many stocks on the same branches. 



to economne space. Several hundred 



varieties may be found growing 



from a single trunk.
