POLLINATION 
With the exception of the Prunes, Fellemberg, German, Stanley, etc., which are self- 
fruitful, Plums should be interplanted to insure a set of fruit—European varieties for 
pollinating that class and Oriental sorts for those varieties. 
Abundance, Burbank and Santa Rosa are Oriental varieties. Balance are 
European varieties.
