| Plums- - Pruned 
Plums do well over a very wide range. They 
are planted in practically every county where 
stone fruits are grown. They are used extensively 
for fresh eating, jams, canning, and juices. By 
careful selection, home planters can have fresh 
plums from early Summer until late Fall. If you 
have a sweet tooth and like jams and jellies, do 
not omit a plum tree from your back yard. 
Prunes are Plums, but with a much higher per- 
centage of sugar. Commercially, they are used al- 
most entirely for drying, but are delicious for eat- 
ing fresh and for canning. If you have never 
eaten a delicious tree-ripened prune, you have a 
delightful surprise in store for you.
