ABOUT POLLINATION OF PLUMS 
AND PLANTING 
Plums should be planted in richer and 
heavier types of soils that are well drained. 
The usual planting distance is 20 feet, al- 
though they may be planted 25 feet apart 
in very fertile soils. The Japanese varieties 
of Plums are self sterile; thus two varieties 
of Japanese Plums must be planted to- 
gether to insure satisfactory cropping. 
Some varieties of American and European 
Plums are inclined to be self sterile and 
commercial plantings should contain at : - : 
least two varieties of these species. he
