ABUNDANCE PLUM — Hardy and Productive 
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 Abun- 
dance tree we picked ten pecks of fruit. The quality is excellent. 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.” First of August.
