These Varieties Selected By Our Years of Experience. 
Why not plant some Plums which bear large crops the 
second year after planting? But don't stop with one tree, 
for the laws of nature make them bear better in groups. 
There are plums for every palate and for every purpose. 
From the sugary fruit of the prunes to the most sharply 
acid, and from the small trees for dooryard shade to the 
kinds adapted for large orchards, the Plum affords ample 
room for selection and adaptability. As for fruit for the 
home orchard, the Plum is ideal, while for the commercial 
grower, the opportunities are almost unlimited. 
No other fruit, unless it is the cherry, will produce more 
abundantly than the Plum. 
The list that we offer are the choicest varieties for the 
home and commercial planting. 
APRICOT PLUM (Hanska Type). This variety has all the 
ood qualities that a Plum should have, with an apricot 
avor. The fruit is excellent for eating from the tree, 
canning, preserving or making jelly. Tne luscious fruit 
is reddish blue. Tree strong grower, a six-year-old tree 
measuring thirty feet high and twenty feet across, mak¬ 
ing a stronger growth than any other Plum. A good 
shipper. Freestone. Season August. 
SAPA (Hansen). July. An extremely early, vigorous bear¬ 
er. Fruit medium size, glossy black; flesh deep reddish 
purple, excellent flavor; skin very tender. 
TERRY (Native). August. Best of the Natives. Fruit very 
large, of bright red color and fine quality. One of the 
largest and most handsome hardy Plums yet produced 
and which deserves extensive planting. Fruit ripens 
evenly and is a good keeper. 
LOMBARD. One of the leading market sorts, grown ex¬ 
tensively everywhere. 
BURBANK. An abundant yearly bearer. Large, round, 
dark red fruit. Will succeed in any soil. Perfectly 
hardy. Ripen from first to middle of August. 
(Hansen). July. The fruit is of immense size, 
deep bright red; skin very thin, and the flavor is deli¬ 
cious. Prof. Hansen's best Plum, and in fact, one of the 
greatest of all Plums. 
GOLDENROD. Tree is tall, vigorous, upright in form, 
hardy, productive; fruit medium to large in size, round, 
clear yellow. Flesh firm, moderately juicy, moderately 
sweet; fair to good in quality, stone medium in size, 
cling. Season last of August. The most beautiful of all 
yellow Plums. 
UNDERWOOD. This is the earliest of the large new Plums. 
Ripens from about August 1st to 15th, and attains a size 
of 1% inches. The tree is one of the strongest growers 
of all these new Plums and gets to be very large, fur¬ 
nishing a large bearing surface to produce wonderful 
crops of beautiful fruit. Fruit is very attractive; red, 
firm, juicy flesh, very small pit, freestone. Splendid 
quality. 
ELLIOTT . . . Peach Plum 
A very large, yellow fleshed perfect freestone 
Plum. Very sweet and of a fine peach flavor. Re¬ 
quires only half the usual amount of sugar for can¬ 
ning. Does not rot on the trees. Our orchard bore 
an immense crop last year in spite of the drought 
and heat and has never failed. This Plum is in a 
class by itself. Season early August. Color orange 
yellow splashed with red. 
5 to 6 ft.—40c each, not prepaid. 
3 to 4 ft.—35c each postpaid; 3 for $1.00, postpaid.

American Native Plum Seed¬ 
lings—2 to 3-ft.—25 for $1.00, 
Postpaid. 
Perhaps this is the first time that 
such a value has ever been offered 
to a planter. Set them deep and 
you'll never lose a tree. They suc¬ 
ceed everywhere and never fail to 
give a big crop of fruit. The most 
healthful sauces, jellies, butters and 
preserves can be made from the 
fruit. Plant them on low land if 
possible, along the creek bottom or 
at the foot of a hill. It is the most 
valuable tree grown for soil ero¬ 
sion and will stand more drought 
and cold weather than any tree 
that we know of. Keep the weeds 
down the first year and then let 
them do as they please.
