Plum trees bear early and grow well in all kinds of soil. The fruit is 

 delicious when freshly picked and can be preserved in many ways. The 

 trees are often planted for their ornamental value, as well as fruit. 



In the descriptions we have designated the classes of plums, whether 

 European, Japanese or American, therefore, in view of the fact that 

 the plum varieties, when planted singly do not fertilize themselves, 

 therefore, it is important to plant at least two or more varieties to 

 insure fruiting. Japanese varieties should be planted together, as well 

 as European varieties should be planted together, but either will cross 

 Dollenize the American class of plums. 



The varieties offered below are extremely hardy, and will withstand 

 the coldest temperatures of Michigan and neighboring states, as well as 

 Canada.
