free from disease and very heavy profitable bearers. Fancy plums always sell for big prices on the 
market. Plant a plum tree this spring and gather delicious highly colored fruit next summer. Our

attractive than a plum tree in blossom, and when the branches are bending with highly colored fruit 
nothing could be more magnificent.

space is limited, Plums can be set 10 feet apart each 
way if pruned annually.
