Plums 
No other fruit has a greater variety of uses, or is capable of satisfying a greater 
variety of tastes than the plum. It is in its native element in Iowa soil and climate, 
this section having been favored with many choice varieties in its primitive state. 
Burtiank. 
Varieties. We are making this fruit a specialty and our experimental orchard 
is our delight. Up to the present we have planted in it 275 varieties, many of which 
have been discarded. It is our aim to test all varieties which come well recommended 
and propagate only the best. By careful selection one may enjoy fresh plums from 
early in July until late October. 
How Propagated. All our plum trees are budded or grafted on native plum 
seedlings, which experience has proved are the only stocks which are satisfactory in 
this climate. 
Cultivation. If you give them your best land and as thorough and frequent 
a cultivation as you do your cornfield or garden you will succeed. Clean cultivation 
is one of the remedies for the plum curculio. 
Crooked Trees. It is practically 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.
