Burbank’s Elephant Heart Plum 
Largest^ Most Beautiful, Blood Flesh, Sugar-Siveet Plum 
The greatest fruit triumph of aii the Master Piant Breeder’s 
painstaking life-work of striving to create better and better 
fruits came to light after his death, and one tliat represents the 
first fruition of our experts’ continuance of his life-work. 
Starting ’way back lialf a century ago with 12 littie seediing 
trees that he had imported from an isoiated section of Southern 
Japan, he worked diligentiy towards his goal. And—NOW— 
the triumphant climax, Burbank’s “Elephant Heart,” the su¬ 
preme BEST of over 800 new varieties of great promise that 
were perfected and bequeathed to Stark Bro’s after his years 
and years of exacting selection and rejections, when we took 
over the Burbank Experimental Gardens. 
AS BIG AS AN APPLE 
Imagine a plum 2^4 x 2% inches, almost as big as a U. S. 
Standard apple, a huge, heart-shui)ed dark-red beauty! Then 
realize with surprise that it is a PERFECT FREESTONE 
(that you can break and eat it like a peach), with blood-red 
flesh as exquisitely luscious as that of an Oxheart Cherry, pos¬ 
sessing an alluring aroma never before owned by any plum! 
That is the Elepliant Heart—the greatest plum of this or any 
other age —that the great Luther Burbank gave to the world. 
HARDY, YOUNG BEARING 
The “Eleplmnt Heart” Plum has gone through severest tests, 
for HARDINESS. In Missouri and Illinois and other sections 
where 15 degrees below zero comes nearly EVERY YEAR, and 
20 to 30 degrees below zero occurs, "Elephant Heart” trees have 
proven their splendid hardiness, made vigorous growth and 
borne young. They have shown remarkable adaptability to 
practically all kinds of soils. And, despite heavy bearing, and 
loaded limbs, the fruit is uniformly huge size and attractive 
heart shape all over the tree. 
Every man who grows plums should and will want Elephant 
Heart. If growing for the market, none will surpass it in value. 
If growing for home use, it will please every fruit lover—and 
owners of Elephant Heart trees will point with pride to the 
beauty of its fruit, and will be able to offer to friends a plum 
more delicious than any they have ever before tasted. No 
orchard or garden will l)e complete without Elephant Heart plum. 
For heavier bearing and better pollenation we advise planting 
several varieties together.
