well here. Fruit oval, viblet red, with a 
yellow, juicy flesh; freestone. Ripens

Plum The a ' oove Picture shows you the 
* mill shape and the good size of these 
Plums. It is not only the finest of all 
Japanese Plums I have ever found, for¬ 
tunately it is also the hardiest of this 
strain. I recommend it for Nebraska and 
Iowa, the states south of here, the Great 
Lakes region and the Eastern States. In 
fact, most anywhere except the extreme 
North it will give best satisfaction. 
Large, red with small pit, flesh yellow, 
excellent flavor. Very good table and 
canning plum. Will come into bearing al¬ 
most as young as the Hansen Plums, and 
bears just as heavy. Be sure to include 
this plum in your planting. No extra 
cost.

variety; also good for cooking. I cannot 
recommend it for the Middle West; south¬

and Indiana should be the limit of its 
hardiness. Ripens end of August.

every garden of orchard.

sweet, well flavored. The tree is excep¬

extreme North. Omaha is a sure and 
heavy bearer. 
Should be in every planting. Much dif¬ 
ferent from any other plum, being of 
medium size, dark purple with sweet 
flesh of dark purple color and small pit. 
Very good quality; very desirable for can¬ 
ning. Hardy anywhere.

prune (Fellenbergs), which it resembles 
closely in size and quality.

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
and Plum I am 
offering a special grade that will come 
into bearing very young. Many of my 
customers wish to have trees that will 
bring good crops within a year or two. 
My Special Grades will do just that. They 
are extra heavily rooted, with extra heavy 
stems, well branched crowns. Perfectly 
safe to plant them, and sure to produce 
crops for you in record time. These trees 
are shipped by freight or express as they 
are much too large to be shipped by par- 
cel post. 
In planting, proceed as follows: Place the tree or shrub in the hole, with all roots spread out in their natural way. Any broken 
root-branches are 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 plant¬ 
ing. A shade tree or a 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 before in the nursery. Some planters lay a board across the hole to show the ground level, to assure 
of getting the trees in Just at the right depth. (Continued on next page.)
