PLUMS ( Primus ) 
The plum tree, like the pear and other finer fruits, attains its greatest perfection 
in our heavy soil, being entirely free from disease. Plums are hardy and grow vig- 
orously in nearly all sections, succeeding best on heavy soils in which there is a 
mixture of clay. 
The finer kinds of plums are beautiful dessert fruits, of rich and luscious flavor. 
For cooking and canning they are unsurpassed. For best flavor they should be al- 
lowed to remain on the tree until fully ripe; but for shipping to market, they must 
be gathered a few days earlier, when they may be shipped long distances, arriving 
in good condition. Over bearing should not be allowed.
