 immense crops every year; the fruit grows in clusters, making easy picking.

Plums 



What has been said of peaches and pears applies in a measure to Plums. 

 They are easy to grow, thrive with little care, do wonders with good care, and 

 are very valuable for eating fresh or for canning at home, and as money- 

 makers when sold. They can be planted anywhere. In poultry-yards or gar- 

 dens, or where the larger stock will not harm the trees or eat the fruit, are the 

 best places for them. The young trees we have are clean, sturdy and as nearly 

 perfect in shape as they can be trimmed.
