PLUM TREES 



PLANT MORE PLUMS FOR ADDED PROFITS, 



STATISTICS SHOW WE ARE NOT GROWING ENOUGH PLUM 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- nliim variety behavior 

 iu plimi growing areas and collecting the best 'of several 

 varieties which promise the grower a profit for his invest- 

 ment. 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. 



The Plum, like the Pear and other finer fruits succeeds best 

 in heavy soil with some clay and being almost free from 

 disease, they can be grown very profitably.

 ish-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). 



When ripe the color is a striking 

 brilliant cherry red all over. Has 

 very thick, rich, semi-transparent, creamy yellow flesh, firm, 

 being a splendid shipper. Has a sweet, delicate fiavor with- 

 out acidity. Size large to very large, often attaining 2^4 in.

 late frost areas. The fruit is large to very large, deep cher- 

 ry red without much bloom. Flesh yellow. Flesh is sweet, 

 mild and delicate in flavor.

 Kipens in early July and is a firm shipping plum. Tree is 

 very hardy, a vigorous grower and produces well. 



ROYAL PLUM 



>OTE — 3Iost 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 interplanted at all times. Abund- 

 ance is considered one of the best general pollenizers.

YAKIMA 



One of The Best Plums Introduced in Recent Years 



A very promising new variety. Due to the soft fiesh of 

 the Plum it is not recommended for long distance shipment 

 unless harvested before full quality has developed. The fruit 

 is large to very large being similar to Bradshaw in bright 

 red color -with a fine over all bl(;om and has a decidedly 

 tough skin. Quality is excellent, flavor being spicy, aromatic 

 and' agreeable. Freestone. The tree is very vigorous, with- 

 stands cold well and tends to groAv five to six main branches 

 with A-ery few side shoots. They should be headed back. 

 from their second through their fourth year to cause branch- 

 ing. We recommend Yakima for trial in all Plum areas 

 where local or roadside markets are used as a sales outlet. 

 Trees limited. 1 year only.

 for size or excellence of quality. Trees are unusually vig- 

 orous, perfectlv hardy and productive. Tree well formed and 

 so sturdv that branches stand up under extremely heavy 

 loads without breakage or need for props. Fruit is freestone, 

 juicv. 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 m 

 order to protect it when ripening. The variety is a heavy 

 annual producer, ripens early. 1 year trees only.
