Plums 
v No other fruit has a graater 
% variety of uses, or is capable of 
satisfying a greater variety of 
tastes than the Plum. It is in 
W its native element in Iowa soil 
V 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 
I experimental orchard is our de- 
' light. Up to the present we 
have planted in it 275 varieties, 
many of which have been dis- 
carded. It is our aim to test 
all varieties which come well 
recommended and propagate 
only the best. By careful se- 
lection one may enjoy fresh 
^Jt plums from early in July until 
late October. 
Cultivation.— If you give 
I V'B them your best land ana as 
v IB thorough and frequent a culti- 
vation as you do your cornfield 
or garden, you will succeed. 
Clean cultivation is one of the 
remedies for the plum curcu- 
German Prune Ho. 
Crooked Trees. — It is prac- 
tically impossible to grow what some people would call a "decent" tree of some 
varieties, yet these same trees afterward develop into well shaped orchard trees.
