HARDY PLUMS 
The plum like the apple and other finer fruits, succeeds in any good loam soil and being 
almost entirely free from disease, they can be grown very profitably. Of late years the 
demand for plums has increased very rapidly. The finer kinds are excellent dessert fruits, 
of rich and luscious flavor; for cooking and canning they are unsurpassed. For home 
consumption they should be gathered a few days earlier. Some of the varieties are inclined 
to overbear and should be thinned in order to produce perfect fruit. Most all the 
varieties, especially the native sorts, are extremely hardy and resist the most severe 
weather. The cherry-plum hybrids are especially good and have been developed especially 
for the northwest.
