Plum Trees 
No other fruit tree, unless it is the cherry, will produce more 
abundantly than a plum tree. Although they will yield crop after crop 
despite neglect, plum trees will readily show the result of care and modern 
methods of fruit growing. The commercial side of plum production has 
received much attention in late years but the supply still falls far short 
of the demand. In general, plum trees thrive best in a sandy or clayey 
soil. A distance of 12 to 15 feet apart is considered the best for plum 
ticcs with the distance increased to 20 leet where a wagon spraying out- 
lit is used. IVIuny varieties of plums produce so abundantly that the best 
results will be obtainable only by careful thinning. If allowed to grow 
naturally the trees will be weakened and the quality of the fruit will be 
inferior. We can recommend to the planter the following varieites:
