Imagine a Plum seven inches around—big as an apple—a 
huge, heart-shaped, dark-red beauty! A perfect freestone, too, 
with ruby-red flesh as luscious as an Oxheart Cherry, and per- 
fumed with a sweetness of aroma never before known! The 
longer it hangs on the tree, the more beautiful it gets and the 
better it tastes. Sweet red flesh—delicious beyond words! 
That’s Elephant Heart—the supreme Plum triumph of Luther 
Burbank, the Master Plant Breeder. The best flavor of more 
than 800 new varieties of Plums bequeathed by him to Stark 
Bro’s after all his long and fabulous years of fruit wizardry! 
We have put this Plum to thorough hardiness tests here in 
the Midwest, in the East, North and South—in all climates and 
soils. And Elephant Heart has proved as sturdy as its name. It 
bears in poor soil even better than in rich soil. And how it ships!
