Sonderegger's lapanese Plum 
The picture will show you the shape of these plums, the photo¬ 
graph has been reduced. This Plum is not only the finest of 
the Japanese Plums I have ever found, fortunately it is also 
the hardiest of this strain so that I can recommend it for this 
state, Iowa, the Great Lakes region and the Eastern states, in 
fact most anywhere with the exception of the extreme Norh. 
It is a large red plum with small pit, the flesh is yellow and of 
excellent flavor. A grand table and canning Plum. It will 
come into bearing almost as early as the Hansen's and Minne¬ 
sota Plums, and will bear very heavy. Be sure to try this fine 
new Plum.

firm, best for drying and preserving. The tree is not hardy

— = = PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS — - = 
We are ready to plant, place the tree or shrub in the hole, with aM roots spread out in their natural way. Any broken root-branch 
is cut off smooth with a sharp knife. The thing to watch now is the proper depth. A fruit tree shows plainly just above the 
root where it was budded or grafted. This spot should be practically level with the ground surface after planting. A shade tree 
or shrub is planted so deep that it stands (depending on the size of the stock you are planting) from 1 to 3 inches deeper than 
grown in the nursery. Some planters put a board across the hole, which lays on the ground surface on both sides, so that they 
are sure of getting the tree or shrub down to the right depth. (continued on next page)
