These Varieties Selected by Experienced Growers

HardyPlums 
Why not plant some Plums which 
bear large crops the second year 
after planting? But don’t stop with 
one tree, for the laws of nature make 
them bear better in groups. There 
are plums for every palate and for 
every purpose. From the sugary 
fruit of the prunes to the most 
sharply acid, and from the small 
/$ trees for dooryard shade to the kinds 
adapted for large orchards, the Plum 
affords ample room for selection 
and adaptability. As a fruit for the 
home orchard, the Plum is ideal, 
while for the commercial grower, the op' 
portunities are almost unlimited. 
No other fruit, unless it is the cherry, 
will produce more abundantly than the 
Plum. 
5 to 6 ft., 50c each, express collect; 3 to

The list that we offer are the choicest 
varieties for the home and commercial 
planting.

wonderful crops of beautiful fruit. Fruit is very attractive; red, firm, 
juicy flesh, very small pit, freestone. Splendid quality. 
WELCH’S BLUE BONNET. This Plum was originated by us here 
at Shenandoah. We have been breeding this Plum up for a good 
many years and now have enough stock of it to offer to the 
trade. This tree is a vigorous, upright grower and is not subject 
to breakage from wind. The fruit is bluish purple, round in 
shape and resembles the California Prune; also excellent to eat 
from the tree or for canning, because of its high content of sugar. 
Tree is a prolific bearer. 4-ft. trees, 40c each; 3 for $1.00. 
Blue Bonnet Plum.
