Plums---for Cooking and Canning they are Delicious 
PLUMS 
See Planting Directions on last pages of this catalogue. 
Plums often bear at two years after planting, and are generally earlier in the 
season than Peaches. They are an ideal fruit for jelly, canning, preserving, and many 
varieties are most delicious for eating fresh. 
As in the case of Peaches, it is necessary to select proper varieties for the different 
sections. For fifty years we have been regarded as authority on Plum varieties, and 
give below our preferred list of varieties selected out of nearly two hundred that we 
have tested.
