Plums 
The plum is another of our fruits of 
remarkable adaptability over a wide 
range of territory and generously pro¬ 
ductive under all conditions. Probably 
no other tree will fruit more abundantly, 
unless it is the cherry, and like the 
cherry, it will yield crop after crop in 
spite of neglect, yet is responsive to 
good care and modern methods of culti¬ 
vation. Our trees are clean, smooth and 
free from disease and you will find the 
price reasonable.

Shropshire Damson 
People are discovering that a few fruit trees at the rear, sides and in 
the back yard furnish as much shade and are equally attractive as the 
ordinary ornamental trees. Home owners are beginning to realize the 
value and convenience of having their own fruit and the superior quality 
of home-grown fruits to use and present to their visitors.
