PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
At. planting time cut back the Jimbs of your plum 
trees to about one-half of their length. The leader 
(center branch). can be cut back a<few inches: In aia 
ground plums will “grow almost too fast, and it» 
therefore a good plan to give them a’summer pauntie 
the second year. Early in July cut back the new 
branches a few inches. to stop them.from. growing too 
much. This will also increase the bearing she hs of 
the tree for the following year.
