We too often think of a home orchard as consisting of 
only Apples, Peaches, and possibly a few Grape vines, 
omitting important fruits—including the Plums, which may be 
had in various types, ripening at different seasons. 
There are two distinct types of Plums—the Oriental and European 
varieties. The Oriental Plums are generally quite juicy and tender, 
and can be best served when raw, fresh from the tree, while the Euro- 
pean varieties are generally the firmer types, which are used for can- 
ning, preserving, butters, drying, etc. The Prune family belongs 
to the European Type Plums. We have endeavored to list the out- 
standing varieties of each class as follows: 
ABUNDANCE. One of the best 
known of the Oriental varieties. : ; . 
Lemon yellow ground, overspread : a a £ “i ee 
with bright cherry red. Large, ae ‘ 
oblong, tapering to a point; flesh 
orange yellow, melting, rich and 
highly aromatic. Abundant and 
annual bearer. August. 
BURBANK. A long-standing fa- 
vorite. Oriental variety. Large, 
nearly globular. Purplish-red with 
deep, yellow flesh. Very sweet, 
with a peculiar, agreeable flavor. 
Early bearer. August 
EUROPEAN PRUNE. Excellent 
for canning, drying, and dessert, 
as well-as eating from the tree.

GREEN GAGE. European type of Plum grown extensively for 
home use because of its excellent quality and adaptability to can- 
ning and preserving. Large, egg-shaped; purplish green skin. 
MAMMOTH GOLDEN. One of the largest, most beautiful and 
most delicious of the golden varieties. Early August. Freestone. 
RED JUNE. _An early, red Oriental Plum. Usually a sure-cropper 
because of its late bloom. Very good variety of its season. 
SHROPSHIRE DAMSON. An improved Damson, larger than the 
old type, but possessing all of its good qualities. At one time the 
Damson was considered a home orchard fruit, but is now in great 
commercial demand, being used by fruit processing plants for jams 
and preserves. One packing company has asked us to grow 20,000 
Damson trees to be distributed among local growers. The Damson 
is a late bloomer, early bearer; almost a sure cropper. 
STANLEY PRUNE. An Improved Prune introduced by the New 
York Experiment Station and considered by many as the best. Large 
firm, dark blue, juicy fin 2grained, tender, sweet and of the very best 
quality. Also being planted commercially for local processing plants 
or for central fresh fruit markets. Late August. 
WICKSON. The largest of the Oriental types. Deep maroon red Good 
quality but the variety has the one fault of being a shy bearer. August.
