WAYNESBORO, VIRGINIA uJ 
PLUMS 
Wayneshora Plums Bear Young 
Easily Grown 
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 
{uropean varieties. The Oriental Plums are generally quite 
juicy and tender, and can be best served when raw, fresh 
from tree, while the European varieties are generally the 
firmer types, which are used for canning, preserving, butters, 
drying, ete. The Prune family belongs to the European Type Plums. We 
have endeavored to list the outstanding varieties of each class as follows: 
ABUNDANCE. One of the best known of the Oriental varieties. Lemon 
yellow ground, overspread with bright cherry red. Large, oblong, tapering 
toa point. Flesh orange yellow, melting, rich and highly aromatic. Abund- 
ant and annual bearer. August. 
BURBANK. A long-standing favorite. Oriental variety. Large, nearly 
globular. Purplish-red vyeth 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. Large, long, oval, purple. Flesh firm, sweet and 
pleasant. Freestone. September. 
GREEN GAGE. European type of Plum grown extensively for home use 
because of its excellent quality and adaptability to canning and preserving. 
Large, egg-shaped; purplish green skin. 
MAMMOTH GOLDEN. One of the largest, most beautiful and most deli- 
cious of the golden varieties. Early 
August. Freestone. (See illustration 
front cover.) 
RED JUNE. An early red Oriental 
Plum. Usually a — sure-cropper 
because of its late 
bloom. Very good 
variety of its season. 
Stanley Prune 
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 pro- 
cessing plants for jams and preserves. The Dam- 
son is a late bloomer, early bearer. Almost a sure 
cropper. 
STANLEY PRUNE. An Improved Prune, intro- 
duced by the New York Experiment Station and 
considered by many as the best. Large, firm, dark blue, 
juicy, fine grained, tender, sweet, and of the very best 
quality. Also being planted commercially for local pro- 
cessing plants, or for central fresh fruit markets. Late 
August. 
WICKSON. Large, heart-shaped, deep, maroon-red fruit. 
Flesh very firm, yellow, sub-acid, rich and good. Good 
shipper. Tree upright, but in some localities a shy bearer.
