HARDY PLU MS 
Plums grow naturally in the Farm Belt. 
You will find them growing wild along 
streams and in thickets. Wild Plums are 
small but these new improved domestic varie¬ 
ties 1 am offering have wonderful flavors and 
are large in size. Plums pay big dividends 
in health. Eating them gives you vim, vigor, 
and vitality. 
Plant several varieties of Plums together 
so the blooms can fertilize each other. They 
bear much better if this is done. Plant 15 
to 20 feet apart. If the fruit sets on too 
heavily to ripen easily, shake part of it off.

ways loaded with fruit. 
APRICOT PLUM or EANSKA. The tree is a 
tall vigorous grower. The fruit has a most 
delicious Apricot flavor. Good for eating off

in color, skin tender, pits small, meat yellow.

eating. It is very juicy, tender and sweet 
Finest quality, small seeded, freestone. Rip¬ 
ens in August. 
OMAHA. The great Nebraska Plum. 
This tree bears lots of fruit. I 
think it is the best native variety.

juicy and sweet. 
OPATA. Middle of July. Fruit is 
purplish red; green flesh, thin 
skin and small pit. Extremely

acid. Earliest of all Plums. 
SAPA. An excellent home and mar¬ 
ket variety. Purplish-black fruit 
and rich purple meat loaded with 
juice. Excellent for canning as 
the skin entirely disappears with 
cooking. Ripens late July. 
WANETA. The fruit is very large, often 2 
inches in diameter. Very deep red in color, 
yellow flesh and a delicious flavor. Perfectly 
hardy and a rapid grower. At age of four 
years it is not unusual for a Waneta to pro¬ 
duce four bushels. Excellent for eating off

IMPERIAL JAPANESE PLUM 
A red Plum of superior quality. Grow these large size dark 
reddish-purple Plums yourself. They’re the same kind you’ve 
been getting in the grocery stores. Its deep yellow flesh is very- 
firm, yet juicy, sweet tasting, and it’s a freestone, too. We in¬ 
troduced this variety to the Farm Belt last year for the first 
time and it’s proving very popular. It ripens late in August and 
is the hardiest Japanese eating Plum. Especially recommended 
for Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and other states of 
similar climatic conditions. A new satisfying sweet flavor. Try 
this Imperial Japanese Plum.
