PLUM SECRETS DISCOVERED 
BY STATE 
For years failure of certain 
Plum Trees to hear, baffled fruit 
growers. Now the Experiment 
Station has discovered that it 
takes certain varieties of Plums to 
pollinate other trees. Plum Trees 
must have the right mate and the 
Surprise Plum is the answer. 
When this Plum was used to pol¬ 
linate, a bumper crop invariably 
resulted. See description below.
