FRUIT TREE!; 



The Bountiful Ridge Way Grows The Best Trees 



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 beliavior 

 in plum 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.

PRUNE TYPES.

Bears Early Tree is Healthy and Vigorous. 



The fruit is of the prune type. Excellent for cooking or 

 eating out of hand. The tree is healthy, vigorous and fruit 

 large in size. Dark blue with heavy bloom ; flesh greenish- 

 yellow ; juicy, fine-grained, tender, firm, sweet, pleasant,

 ■*^"**^^'^"-** "" red color, good shipping and keeping 

 ability, the Bradshaw has continued to grow in popularity.

FELLEMBURG OR ITALIAN PRUNE 



It succeeds under most all climatic and soil conditions. 

 The fruit is dark purple with a dark blue bloom, medium to 

 large size, oval. The flesh is juicy and delicious and it is 

 very fine for drying and canning. 



DPTMII' r^l miTS'P Best known and possibly the most 

 niLli^JLi V^ijAUl/JL widely planted variety of the 

 "Green Gage" group. Flesh medium size, clingstone, green- 

 ish-yellow, flesh is juicy, very mild and sweet and is in 

 great demand for local trade or home use. Tree is mod- 

 erately vigorous. (Self unfruitful). 



-D^VHT DT TTlVyr When ripe the color is a striking 

 n.\y I r\Li rLiKJiyi brilliant cherry red all over. Has 

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

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

 out acidity. Size large to very large, often attaining 2%". 

 A fine freestone worthy of planting in all sections. 



n TV/T'F'DTl^ H The tree is a strong vigorous grower of 

 riJ.vij:,^i^^i-l spreading habit similar to the Yakima. 

 Blooms early and should be planted on exposed positions 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. 



■D/^'M']^fTp An open pollinated seedling of America. Com- 

 ■DvyiXl^lJj pared to America the fruit is similar except 

 the Bonnie is larger with more red color and ripens earlier. 

 The flesh is yellow, juicy and much like America in flavor, 

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

 very hardy, a vigorous grower and produces well. 



NOTE — 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 beest general pollenizers. 



T01\^RART^ 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 



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 developed. 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 excellent, fiavor being spicy, aromatic 

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

 stands 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 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. 



PACIFIC 



For The Grower Who Wants 

 SIZE — BEAUTY — HEAVY PRODUCTION 



Few Plums are more beautiful in color or equal this va- 

 riety for size or excellence of quality. Trees are unsually 

 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, 

 juicv, firm, sweet and of pleasing flavor. A good shipper 

 when free of Brown Rot. Fruit has tendency to split under 

 some weather conditions 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.
