Select Varieties of Plums 
Plums are hardy and grow vigorously in nearly 
all sections, succeeding on any soil that grows good 
corn or potatoes. Plum trees are planted about as 
far apart as peaches ; that is, from 15 to 18 feet apart 
each way. Many growers prefer to plant them closer 
one way than the other, and eventually to stop culti- 
vation in one direction. If this system is used they 
may be placed 18 to 20 feet apart one way, and from 
10 to 12 feet the other way. The trees are pruned 
the same way that apple trees are, when planted. 
Red June — Tree strong and spreading, immensely 
productive, and comes into bearing in two or 
three years, brilliant red. Last of July. 
Abundance— The popular plum. Tree, thrifty, hardy, 
and beautiful ; fruit large, showy and good, richly 
perfumed. The editor of The Rural New Yorker 
writes: “From one little Abundance tree wc 
picked ten pecks of fruit The quality is excel- 
lent. When fully ripe they are full of juice. The 
flesh is tender and there is mingled with the plum 
a peach flavor that is refreshing and agreeable.” 
August 4th, 1895, The Rural New Yorker said; 
‘ ‘The Abundance Japan Plum tree on our grounds 
is a sight to behold. The branches are wreaths 
of fruit, and they as well as the tree itself are 
held up by props and ropes. Here we have 
Abundance loaded with beautiful fruit, while not 
a precaution has been taken to destroy the cur- 
culio. First of August.
