GERMAN PRUNE 
We have chosen German Prune as Plum King for 1938 because it leads all 
others in popular demand. We have never been able to fill all our orders for 
this variety! Called a medium-size plum, but we discovered by measuring 
they averaged better than 2 inches long and nearly that wide. Dark blue 
color, with beautiful powder-blue bloom. Attractive, long shape. Flesh is 
golden-orange, very fine in texture, juicy, richly flavored. A superb fruit to 
eat fresh, canned or dried. Not too acid. Trees are perfectly hardy, young 
bearers, and tremendous croppers. A five-acre orchard here in Berrien County 
bore nearly 2,000 bushels last summer, with average market price $1.85. 
Ripens late. 
BURBANK 
Large, round, golden and maroon plum overspread with pretty bloom. Flesh 
is golden, sweetly and richly flavored, of fine texture and firm quality. One of 
the best for big crops, hardiness and dependability. Delicious fresh or canned 
or in jelly. Popular mid-season shipping sort. 
WICKSON: A giant drop of honey-yellow, often measuring 3 inches across. 
Glossy skin, tender, exquisitely flavored pink flesh. Very little acid. Not a 
heavy bearer, but a fancy freestone, eating sort which sells at fancy figures. 
LOMBARD: Big, roimdish, cherry-red plum, with reddish flesh, 
mid-season, is hardy, and a good producer. Favorite for canning. 
Ripens 
ITALIAN PRUNE: Giant Purple, oblong plum which ripens in September. 
Beautiful and very delicious. Regular cropper. Fine for drying, canning, 
storage. 
REINE CLAUDE: Large, round, greenish-yellow plum with a marvelously 
sweet flavor. Almost lacking in acid. Tender yellow flesh. Improved Green 
Gage. Hardy, regular and heavy cropper. 
GRAND DUKE: Looks like an over-sized prune-plum, with its dark purplish- 
blue skin and heavy bloom. Fancy eating sort. 
YELLOW EGG: Large, egg-shaped, golden-yellow plum with delicious, 
mellow orange flesh. Fine keeping and shipping quality. Very firm, big 
producer, regular bearer. Pretty as a picture! 
DUNKLEBERG: Medium-size oblong purplish-blue plum with yellow flesh. 
Favorite for long-distance shipping and storage purposes. A marvel for 
bearing and keeping. Highly flavored, excellent canner. 
ABUNDANCE: Round, amber-colored with red blush. Thrives everywhere, 
and never fails to produce an enormous crop. Popular market type.
