PLUM TREES 
PLANT MORE PLUMS FOR ADDED PROFITS 
STATISTICS SHOW WE ARE NOT GROWING ENOUGH PLUMS TO 
SUPPLY MARKET DEMANDS IN THE EAST. 
NOW IS THE TIME TO PLANT FOR FUTURE PROFITS 
We Offer A List of Recent Introductions and Improved Bountiful Strains of 
Old Popular Varieties. 
For years we have been observing plum variety be- 
havior in plum growing areas and “collecting the best 
of several varieties which promise the grower a profit 
for his investment. In our opinion Plum growing has 
been overlooked or sidetracked for something else which 
is not as good a risk. 
Plums are no harder to grow than peaches, if given 
the same amount of intelligent attention. Markets are 
always good and prices average higher year after year 
than peaches, apples or other types of fruit. 
The Plum deserves your interest and attention as a 
money-maker. 
The Plum, like the Pear and other finer fruits suc- 
eeeds best in heavy soil with some clay and being al- 
most free from disease, they can be grown very profit- 
ably. The finer kinas are excellent dessert fruits, of 
rich and luscious flavor; for cooking and canning they 
are unsurpassed.

STANLEY PRUNE 
PROVING TO BE THE BEST OF ALL BLUE 
PRUNE TYPES. 
Grows Well Anywhere — Produces Annual Crops — 
Bears Early — Tree is Healthy and Vigorous. 
A cross between Agen and Grand Duke. The fruit 
is of the prune type. Excellent for cooking or eating 
out of hand. The tree is healthy, vigorous and produces 
full crops annually. Fruit large in size, dark blue with 
heavy bloom; flesh greenish-yellow; juicy, fine-grained, 
tender, firm, sweet, pleasant, quality good to very good. 
Freestone. Mid-season. Stanley is one of the New York 
Experiment Station’s prize plums. 
BRADSHAW Due to very large size, fine dark 
violet-red color, good shipping and 
keeping ability, the Bradshaw has continued to grow 
in popularity. The flesh is yellowish-green, juicy and 
pleasing to the taste. The tree is very vigorous, erect 
and productive. 
FELLEMBURG OR ITALIAN PRUNE 
Our most popular Commercial plum. It succeeds under 
most all climatic and soil conditions. The fruit is 
dark purple with a dark blue bloom, medium to large 
size, oval, pointed and tapering. The flesh is juicy and 
delicious and it is very fine for drying and canning. 
It is fast replacing the German prune in commercial 
plum orchards. 
NOTE—Most American and European Plums seem 
to be self-fertile and produce fruit on their own 
pollen, 
but produce better when interplanted with 
other varieties. Oriental varieties have been found 
to be self-unfruitful and should always be inter- 
pianted at all times. Abundance is considered one 
of the best general pollenizers. 
REINE CLAUD most widely planted variety 
of the “Green Gage’ group. Fruit medium size, cling- 
stone, greenish-yellow, flesh is juicy, very mild and 
sweet and is in great demand for local trade or home 
use. Tree is moderately vigorous. (Self unfruitful). 
LOMBARD Medium, roundish-oval, violet red, 
juicy and pleasant; adheres to stone; 
valuable market sort, hardy, and adapted to light soils; 
a reasonably sure cropper. 
YAKIMA 
One of The Best Plums Introduced in Recent Years 
Best known and possibly the 
A very promising new variety. Due to the soft flesh 
of the Plum it is not recommended for long distance 
shipment unless harvested before full quality has de- 
veloped. The fruit is large to very large being similar 
to Bradshaw in bright red color with a_fine over all 
bloom and has a decidedly tough skin. Quality is ex- 
cellent, flavor being spicy, aromatic and agreeable. 
Freestone. The tree is very vigorous, withstands cold 
well and tends to grow five to six main branches with 
very few side shoots. They should be headed back, 
from their second through the fourth year to cause 
branching. Werecommend Yakima for trial in all Plum 
areas where local or roadside markets are used as a 
sales outlet. Trees limited. 1 year only. 
PACIFIC 
For The Grower Who Wants 
SIZE — BEAUTY — HEAVY PRODUCTION 
Few Plums are more beautiful in color or equal this 
variety for size or excellence of quality. Trees are un- 
usually vigorous, perfectly hardy and productive. Tree 
well formed and so sturdy that branches stand up 
under extremely heavy loads without breakage or need 
for props. Fruit is freestone, juicy, firm, sweet and of 
pleasing flavor. A good shipper when free of Brown 
Rot. Fruit has tendency to split under some weather 
condition and should be carefully watched in order to 
protect it when ripening. The variety is a heavy annual 
producer, ripens early. 1 year trees only.
