PLUMS 
The Plum does best on a rich, well drained soil. The trees should be planted 16 feet 
apart, and it is well to plant several varieties together, for they seem to produce larger 
crops In that way than where a single variety is planted alone. Prune them so they will 
be low headed, and thus protect the fruit from the wind storms which sometimes play 
sad havoc with the fruit when commencing to ripen.

Opata 
LOMBARD. Medium, round, oval, violet 
red, juicy, pleasant and good, adheres to 
the stone, productive. A valuable market 
variety, one of the most hardy and popu¬ 
lar. Last of August. 
OPATA. Middle of July. Fruit is purplish 
red; green flesh, thin skin and small pit. 
Extremely early. Pleasant flavor, sweetly 
acid. Plant Sapa and Opata together in or¬ 
der to cross-pollinate, thus producing a 
larger fruit crop. 
OMAHA. A very large 
plum, round, dark red, with 
a very small stone. Flesh is 
juicy, somewhat meaty, 
sweet and of fine flavor. 
Tree very hardy with large 
crown and exceedingly pro¬ 
ductive. Does well south or 
north and especially in the 
Middle West. Probably the 
best of the native type 
clingstone. 
BURBANK. Most profit¬ 
able market variety. When 
properly thinned, the fruit 
of this plum is very large, 
5 to 6 inches in circumfer¬ 
ence, nearly round, bright 
cherry-red, with lilac bloom, 
making it very tempting in 
appearance. Its deep yellow 
flesh is sweet, meaty and 
quite firm, keeping and 
shipping finely. Almost 
curculio proof. Tree vigor¬ 
ous and spreading. 
UNDERWOOD. Tree ex¬ 
tremely vigorous and at¬ 
tains a large size. Very 
hardy and productive. Fruit 
is large, roundish-oval, at¬ 
tractive red in color. Flesh 
is juicy, fairly firm; hangs 
well to tree. Ripens very 
early and continues over a 
long season. Stone is small, 
cling. Quality excellent. 
Many growers consider Un¬ 
derwood as combining most 
of the good points required for a hardy 
plum of large size and excellent quality. 
Hardy everywhere. 
SAPA. Bate July. Sapa is a sister plum 
of Opata, of smaller size. Purple skin and 
rich purple meat. Rich with juice. Fine 
for cooking and preserving. 
WANETA. Middle of August. Early bear¬ 
er. Large size, 2 inches in diameter. Dark 
red plum, excellent quality. Good for eat¬ 
ing from the tree. 
APRICOTS 
A most delicious fruit of the plum 
species. It has a distinct flavor and one of 
our best and most profitable market fruits. 
The tree bears very young and most pro¬ 
fusely. Ripening as it does between the 
cherries and peaches, the apricot is a most 
welcome fruit. In very sunny localities it 
is apt to bloom too early in the spring and 
get caught by the frost. The tree is 
slender in form, has beautiful dark foliage, 
pretty pink blossoms and will give very 
satisfactory results as an ornamental tree 
in any garden or house lot. 
MOORPARK. One of the largest; orange 
with red cheek; firm, juicy with rich 
flavor; very productive. July. 
SUPERB. One of the largest; orange 
with red cheek; firm, juicy, with rich 
flavor; very productive. August.
