ABOUT POLLINATION OF PLUMS 
AND PLANTING 
Plums should be planted in richer and sa cer epg 
heavier types of soils that are well drained. oo es 
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.
