The METHLEY PLUM Pays Off. 



Mr. and :Mrs. .T. F. Royal of near Clemson, S. C. 

 are very proud of their 1C> Methley trees which bear 

 heavy crops almost every j-ear. The last crop paid 

 them more than §1,000.00 which is a record in our 



opinion. 



The Methley justly deserves highest praise for its
