Plums 
No other fruit has as great a variety of uses or is capable of satisfying 
4s great a number of tastes as the plum. The plum is in its native element 
In Iowa soil and climate, this section having been favored with many choice 
varieties in its primitive state. 
VARIETIES— We are making this fruit a specialty and our experimental or- 
chard is our delight. Up to the present we have planted in it about 250 
varieties, many of which have been discarded. It is our aim to test all va- 
rieties which come well recommended and only hold fast those which are 
good, and our customers shall have the benefit of our experience. By a 
careful selection of varieties one mav enjoy fresh plums from early in July 
till October. 
CULTIVATION — Do not deceive yourself by thinking you can plant a lot of 
plum trees in an old, dry, soddy patch and they will board themselves, work 
for nothing and yield bountiful crops of luscious fruit; if you do you will 
most certainly be disappointed. Give them your best land and as good and 
frequent cultivation as you ought to your corn or garden, and you will suc- 
ceed. Clean cultivation is one of the best remedies against the plum 
curculio. 
CROOKED TREES — What was said about crooked trees under apples is spe- 
cially applicable to many varieties of plums. It is practically impossible to 
grow what many people would call a "decent" tree of some varieties, yet 
these same trees afterwards develop into well-shaped orchard trees. Some 
• of them will grow crooked in spite of us. "It is the nature of the critters."
