Plums 
The Plum does best on a rich, well drained soil. The trees should be planted 16 feet 
apart, and it is well to plant several varieties together, for they seem to produce larger 
crops in that way than where a single variety is planted alone. Prune so they will 
be low headed, and thus protect the fruit from the wind storms which sometimes play 
sad havoc with the fruit when commencing to ripen.

BURBANK. Most profit¬ 
able market variety. When 
properly thinned, the fruit 
of this plum is very large, 
5 to 6 inches in circumfer¬ 
ence, nearly round, bright 
cherry-red, with lilac bloom, 
making it very tempting in 
appearance. Its deep yellow 
flesh is sweat, meaty and 
quite firm, keeping and 
shipping finely. Almost 
curculio proof. Tree vigor¬ 
ous and spreading. 
OMAHA. A very large 
plum, round, dark red, with 
a very small stone. Flesh 
is juicy, somewhat meaty, 
sweet and of fine flavor. 
Tree very hardy with large 
crown and exceedingly pro¬ 
ductive. Does well South or 
North and especially in the 
Middle West. Probably the 
best of the native type 
clingstones. 
Sapa Plums 
LOMBARD. Medium, round, oval, violet 
red, juicy, pleasant and good, adheres to 
the stone, productive. A valuable market 
variety, one of the most hardy and popu¬ 
lar. Last of August. 
OPATA. Middle of July. Fruit is purplish 
red; green flesh, thin skin and small pit. 
Extremely early. Pleasant flavor, sweetly 
acid. Plant Sapa and Opata together in or¬ 
der to cross-pollinate, thus producing a 
larger fruit crop. 
SAPA. Late July. Sapa is a sister plum 
of Opata, of smaller size. Purple skin and 
rich purple meat. Rich with juice. Fine 
for cooking and preserving. 
WANETA. Middle of August. Early bear¬ 
er. Large size, 2 inches in diameter. Dark 
red plum, excellent quality. Good for eat¬ 
ing from the tree.
