In the extreme South, particularly in central and south Florida, southern Texas, and, in fact, 
all along the Gulf Coast, the pure-bred Japanese varieties have not been good bearers, consequently 
were not generally profitable. But cross-bred varieties—Japanese varieties crossed with native 
varieties—have proved heavy annual bearers. These cross-bred varieties have made commercial 
Plum-growing not only possible, but worthy the attention of fruit-growers even in south Florida 
and northern Mexico. Of these cross-bred Plums we can heartily recommend Excelsior, McRea and 
Terrell. These are excellent kinds, heavy bearers, and have given our customers satisfaction over a 
very wide range of territory.
