8 CUMBERLAND VALLEY NURSERIES, INC. 

PLUM AND NECTARINE 
The Plum in large variety thrives over a wide 
range of soils and climates, and should be gener- 
ally planted. No home orchard is complete without 
several trees of choice varieties to give fresh fruit 
for eating as well as an abundance for jams, jellies, 
preserves, etc., and there is always a market for 
choice Plums.

CHERRY 
Not difficult to grow, but the trees are best 
adapted to well drained rich soil. The sour vari- 
eties grow more readily than the sweets, but you 
can have both if your location is good. Be sure to 
plant the trees as soon as they arrive—don’t let 
them lie around. Press the dirt firmly around the . 
roots; ‘tramp it hard. Prune the same as apples or 
pears, aut do not cut the central leaders.
