PLUMS Bound to Bear Banner Crops 



WHILE there are thirteen distinct species of Plums of interest to fruit students, the practical grower 

 cares chiefly for the one known as Prunus Domestica. The region of the Caucasus, in Asia Minor, gave 

 us this valuable contribution to our orchards. Long before Athens and Rome ruled ancient civilizations , 

 Mongols, Tartars and Huns carried dried Prunes as a life sustaining food. These Nomads dropped the pits, 

 or seeds, all over the then known world and the fruit established itself fairly well everywhere. With us, 

 Plums thrive best in climates of equable warmth such as rules in California. But the hardy sorts we offer 

 have proven their adaptability in remarkable fashion. They will, with proper care, reward the grower with 

 liberal crops of handsome fruits in nearly all sections. Plant 20 feet apart each way; 108 trees per acre. 

 Our Plum trees are unusually fine specimens and we have a splendid supply of them.
