PLUM TREES 
Plant More Plums As An Added Profit Maker 
Growers During 1941 Season Found Good Markets 
and High Prices 
Show We Are Not Growing Enough Plums to 
The Market Demand in The East. 
Plant This Year. 
The Plum, like the Pear and other finer fruits suc- 
ceeds best in heavy soil with some clay, and being al- 
most free from disease, they can be grown very profit- 
ably. The finer kinds are excellent dessert fruits, of 
rich and luscious flavor; for cooking and canning they 
are unsurpassed.

All plum trees budded on Myrobolan Plum root which

FELLEMBURG OR ITALIAN PRUNE 
Our most popular Commercial plum. It succeeds under 
most all climatic and soil conditions. The fruit is 
dark purple with a dark blue bloom, medium to large 
size, oval, pointed and tapering. The flesh is juicy and 
delicious and it is very fine for drying and canning. 
It is fast replacing the German prune in commercial 
plum orchards. We are glad to say we have a fine lot 
of one year trees of this splendid variety to offer this 
year. This plum and the Barly Italian prune we are 
selling make a very profitable combination.

SHROPSHIRE DAMSON Pi oa’ ttower 
and enormously productive; fruit of medium size pro- 
duced in thick clusters or groups, dark purple color, 
esteemed for preserving. 
BLUE REX DAMSON 
to be the finest 
Originated in eastern 
Indiania and is said 
of all Damsons yet introduced. The 
tree seems to be hardy, is fast growing and productive. 
The fruit is about the same size as Shropshire but 
ripens ten days earlier, is high in quality and of better 
appearance than the old type Damsons. We recom- 
mend it for trial. 1 year trees only. 
Note.—Plums seem to be generally self-fertile but 
produce better when other varieties are intermixed. 
Japanese varieties have been found to be somewhat 
self-fertile. Abundance is considered one of the 
best general pollenizers. 

The old fashioned blue Damson. 
DAMSON known to every housewife for the fine 
jelly and preserves they make. Tree very hardy and 
prolific bearer. 
JAPANESE PLUMS

gaining popularity due to its fine qual- 
ity and handsome appearance. The fruit is medium to 
large in size, reddish purple in color with red flesh. It 
is juicy, sweet and of distinctive flavor. The tree is 
vigorous and upright in growth habit. Does well on 
most types of soil and is a heavy annual bearer. Re- 
commended for trial in all sections where plums do well.

upright in growth, bearing good 
crops under proper conditions. Fruit large, dark red

MR. WALTERS 
AND ELBERTA TREE 
Photograph shows Mr. Geo. P. Walters, Martinsburg, 
W. Va. standing before an Elberta tree planted in his 
orchard in the spring of 1939. Mr. Walters states: “In 
all my experience as an orchardist I have never had 
better results and I am absolutely convinced it pays to 
ptant the best. My trees have never been fertilized 
other than cover cropping in this particular block. 
They had a large crop of fine fruit during the 1941 sea- 
son.”” (Note: Mr. Walters purchased our 1 year, 5 to 
6 foot grade). Above photograph taken Sept. 2nd 1941.
