PLUMS 
Early, Prolific Bearers 
Easily Grown 
We too often think of a home orchard 
as consisting of only Apples, Peaches, and 
possibly a few Grape vines, omitting im- 
portant fruits—including the Plums, 
which may be had in an assortment, 
ripening at different seasons. 
There are two distinct types of Plums 
—the Oriental and European. The Orien- 
tal are generally quite juicy and tender, 
and can be best served when raw, fresh 
from tree, while the European are the 
firmer types, used for canning, preserving, 
butters, drying, etc. The Prune family be- 
longs to the European type Plums. For best results, 
we recommend planting two or more varieties, pro- 
Improved Large  Viding for cross pollination. We have endeavored to 
Shropshire list the outstanding of each class as follows:
