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 e 
at different seasons. sith ‘ So 
Therearetwo distinct typesof Plums—the Oriental 
and European varieties. The Oriental Plums are gen- 
erally quite juicy and tender, and can be best served 
when raw, fresh from tree, while the European are 
generally the firmer types, used for canning, pre- 
serving, butters, drying, etc. The Prune family 
belongs to the European Type Plums. For best results, we recommend 
Shropshire planting two or more varieties, providing for cross pollination. We 
Damson 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 to a point. Flesh orange yellow, melting, rich and 
highly aromatic. Abundant and annual bearer. August. 
BURBANK. A long-standing favorite. Oriental. 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 tree. Large, long, oval, purple. Flesh firm, sweet 
and pleasant. Freestone. September. 
GREEN GAGE. European type 
grown extensively for home use 
because of its excellent quality 
and adaptability to canning and 
preserving. Large, 
egg-shaped; pur- 
plish green skin. 
MAMMOTH GOLDEN. Ore of the rool 
largest, most beautiful and delicious 
of the golden varieties. Early 
August. Freestone. 
RED JUNE. Early red Oriental. 
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. Late bloomer, early bearer, 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, 
fine grained, 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. Large, heart-shaped, deep, maroon-red fruit. 
Flesh very firm, yellow, sub-acid, rich and sweet. Good 
shipper. Tree upright, butin some localities a shy bearer.
