PLUMS 
Recent plum crops demonstrated the fact that plum culture 
in the South offers wonderful opportunities for profit. The 
plum bears young and regularly, is about the most productive 
of the fruits, and very easy to grow. The increasing popu¬ 
larity of this fruit, both in the fresh state and for commercial 
preserving purposes, enables the grower to market plums 
readily and at fancy prices in Northern and Southern markets. 
The demand for plums for refrigerator car shipments is in¬ 
creasing and commercial plum growing offers itself as an 
enterprise both profit and pleasure producing. 
Plum trees should be planted 15 to 25 feet apart each way 
and can be used, if desired, as a filler in an orchard be¬ 
tween permanent trees. It is desirable to plant plums in 
poultry yards as the nitrogenous fertilizer furnished by the 
chicken manure seems to be just what the trees need; also 
the fowls clean up the curculio that attacks the fruit.

FIGS 
A TRULY Southern fruit of high quality 
which cannot be grown in the North. This 
fruit is found almost universally in home 
plantings in the South. Figs are delicious for 
eating both fresh and preserved. 
Fig trees may be planted as close together as 
10 to 12 feet, and require very little cultivation. 
Cultivation should always be shallow as the 
roots are close to the surface. Figs seem to do 
best when their roots can run under buildings. 
Both varieties we list are very hardy. 
BROWN TURKEY. Medium to large; yellowish 
brown; pulp tender, rich and of the finest 
quality. Fruit borne on long stems, allowing 
fruit to hang blossom end down at maturity. 
CELESTE. Fruit is of medium size; color pale 
violet, thin skin and firm fiesh. Juicy, rich 
and sweet. Tree strong grower and reliable 
bearer. Hardiest of all the Figs.
