PLUMS 
Plums Are Easy to Grow and Early to Bear 
Most varieties of plums will bear heavier crops if certain other 
varieties are planted nearby as pollenizers. The Burbank, Wickson 
and Climax all successfully pollinate the blossoms of most varieties, 
as well as each other. We advise including some of these sorts ir 
a'l plum plantings. 
BLUE DAMSON. Ripens September. Enormously productive, a 
regular bearer and fruit ripens over a long season. Delicious eaten 
fresh. Incomparable for preserves and marmalades. Brings a good 
price on the market and is often used by commercial canneries. 
BURBANK. The fruit is large, clear cherry red with a thin lilac 
bloom; flesh a deep yellow, very sweet, with a very agreeable flavor; 
begins to bear second year after transplanting. August. 
BRADSHAW. Ripens August or mid-season. Very large, dark 
violet red, yellowish-green flesh of pleasing flavor. Semi-freestone. 
Good quality. Flavor, rich and sweet. Tree a good grower. Produc¬ 
tive. Blooms late, thus more likely to escape late frosts. Good 
market variety. Desirable plum for the home orchard. 
CLIMAX. Ripens early, about middle June. One of Luther Bur¬ 
bank’s finest introductions. Growing in popularity both for home 
use and as a commercial shipper. Well named “King of Plums”, as 
its extreme earliness, good size, high color, delicious flavor and 
fragrance place it in the lead among early shipping plums. Fruit 
is large, heart-shaped, superbly rich in flavor and quality. 
Also a good pollenizer for Japanese varieties. 
COLUMBIA. Ripens late August. Large dark purple, almost 
round, flesh yellow, juicy and sweet. A very desirable plum for the 
home orchard. 
PEACH. Ripens usually July and August. The Peach plum is 
justly esteemed because of its earliness, large size, and handsome 
appearance. Fruit is very large, rather round, peach color, flesh 
golden yellow. Juicy, pleasant, sprightly flavor. 
SATSUMA. A fine, large Japanese plum. The flesh is solid, 
purplish crimson color from pit to skin, juicy, fine quality. Pit very 
small, little larger than a cherry stone. September. 
WICKSON. The tree grows in vase form, sturdy and upright. 
The stone is small and the flesh is of fine texture, firm, sugary, and 
delicious. Ripens about September first. 
YELLOW EGG. Ripens end of August. A large, handsome yellow 
plum. Good for home use or market. Golden yellow covered with 
thick bloom. Flesh firm, sweet, juicy. 
REINE CLAUDE. Large, nearly round; pale yellow, marked 
with red; juicy, melting and excellent; good bearer. Not liable to rot.
