PLUMS AND PRUNES 
prophecy of the value of such of these new 
plums and prunes as are finally chosen. They 
are not only likely to supplant all those plums 
hitherto produced by Mr. Burbank, as well as 
those in existence when he began his work, 
but, through the elimination of the pit and 
the substitution in its place of that much 
more nutriment, relentlessly drive out of the 
market all the standard prunes which now 
furnish the world’s supply.
