PLUMS. 



No class of fruit is more universally popular than this, and none yields more readily to care 

 and cultivation, producing large crops of the most luscious fruit imaginable. A rich, strong 

 soil best suits the Plum. Good cultivation and regular fertilizing are very essential to their 

 highest development. The native varieties are perfectly hardy everywhere and annually 

 produce large crops of fruit, which is very desirable for preserves. All our Plums are bud- 

 ded on hardy Myrobolan and Native plum" stocks, thus insuring their hardiness and their 

 adai^tability to all sections.
