4 RAMSEY'S AUSTIN NURSERY 

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. 
Numbers, 1, 2, and 3, after variety names indicate adaptations in sections as num- 
bered below. 
1. South and Southwest Texas, and Gulf Coast. 
2. North, East, and Central Texas, and below Foot of Plains. 
3. Plains of Texas. 
Sections of other states corresponding in latitude will require the same varieties.
