PLUMS 
Plums are a fine early fruit. We have selected out of the many varieties the best producing 
strains for the northwest, the inland empire and the Pacific Coast. All of our plum trees are grown 
from heavy-bearing strains. All varieties we have here are extremely hardy and will do real well 
in the cold climates as well as in the warmer climate. 
Notice — Prices on Plum Trees are the same as Prunes.
