A HOLLYWOOD PLUM 
This wonderful plum is one of the outstanding 
results of our plant breeding efforts * Great mass¬ 
es of white flowers very early in the spring are 
followed by the beautiful shining red fruits and 
red-green foliage; the top of the leaf is deep 
green while the under side is red. The contrast is 
very pleasing and is maintained throughout the 
season. It is a heavy and consistant producer of 
the most delicious free stone fruit you have ever 
eaten. The skin is crimson-red with dark red flesh 
and a small pit. Being free stone, the acid found 
at the pit of most plums is entirely absent from 
this variety. Jam made from this plum is the best 
ever and rates with strawberry jam on our table. 
This tree-will give you- ornamental value equal 
to other ornamental plums and at the same time it 
will produce for you the finest of fruit at a time 
when good stone fruits are really appreciated; it 
ripens here about the 10th of June. It is a solid 
fleshed plum that can be eaten ’’without putting on 
a bib. n It will become popular as a commercial 
fruit because-it is solid, ships well, and roaches 
the market with its-full natural beauty. 
It lias been under test for nine years and has 
met our fondest hopes. The original tree has never 
been sprayed, yet there are no signs of insects or 
diseases. It has produced consistantly without 
other varieties to furnish pollen. The fruit hangs 
on the tree until it is nearly dry; therefore, un¬ 
used fruit does not create an unsightly mess on 
the ground.
