No other fruit tree, unless it is the 
cherry, produces more abundantly 
than a plum tree. Although they will 
yield crop after crop despite neglect, 
plum trees will readily show the result 
of care and modern methods of fruit 
growing. The commercial side of plum 
production has received much atten¬ 
tion in late years, but the supply still 
falls short of the demand. In general, 
plum trees thrive best in a sandy or 
clayey soil. We can recommend to the 
planter the following varieties: |
