a tree which was introduced through his

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
At planting time cut back the limbs of your plum 
trees to about one-half of their length. 
(center branch) can be cut back a few inches. In good 
ground plums will grow almost too fast, and it is 
therefore a good plan to give them a summer pruning 
the second year. ’ 
branches a few inches to stop them from growing too 
This will also increase the bearing ability of 
the <ree for the following year.
