OUR FINEST DAMSON TYPES 
Originated in eastern 
BLUE REX DAMSON Indiana, and is said 
to be the finest of all Damsons yet introduced. The 
tree seems to be hardy, is fast growing and productive. 
The fruit is about the same size as Shropshire but 
ripens ten days earlier, is high in quality and of better 
appearance than the old type Damsons. We recom- 
mend Blue Rex Damson for both home and commercial 
plantings.

Shropshire and produces heavy crops. Fruit is large, 
deep purple, juicy, rich Wavoe and has ‘a small pit. 
An excellent variety for shipment to distant markets, 
as the fruit carries well. Unexcelled for jams and all 
culinary purposes. 
Regarding New Plum Varieties 
Many new varieties of plums are in the near future 
which in our opinicn will bring plum growing back 
ito its former position in the fruit world. 
‘It has been necessary to breed and test these new 
-plums under far northern conditions in order.to ob- 
tain hardiness. Again they have been bred for qual- 
ity and disease resistance. 
We had hoped to offer several of these new sorts 
this year, but a very destructive hail storm last May 
1ith, 1948 put our program back two years by vir- 
tually destroying all our budded stock. We ask that 
you continue to follow our listings for new varieties 
in the future.
