THE NEW PLUM Lawn d 5 Nir acle (Patented) 
THE MOST SENSATIONAL FRUIT OF A DECADE 
THE INTRODUCTION of the ‘Miracle Plum’’ marks an epoch 
in the advance of fine fruits for the table. The tantalizing and 
delicious flavor, the great size, firm amber flesh, combined with 
a delightful color, place the ‘Miracle Plum’’ in a class by itself. 
Invariably, after tasting the ‘Miracle Plum,’’ comes the ex- 
clamation: ‘’This fruit is truly a miracle. It is something out of 
this world.” 
Here are some facts about the ‘’Miracle Plum’’: Extraordinarily 
large size fruit, average diameter 2% to 234 inches. An astound- 
ing surprise to the palate, flavor not unlike Nectarine, Peach and 
Plum mixed; skin thin and unnoticeable when eating fruit, minia- 
ture stone, meat Nectarine-like in quality. Keeping qualities ex- 
cellent, delicious in preserves, fruit ripens over long period during 
July and August. Exceedingly fast growing and quick bearing tree, 
which will bear fruit the third year after planting. An ornamental 
tree of medium size, foliage persistent, in autumn richly tinted not 
unlike the leaves of a Maple. Can be grown in a small garden. 
Howard’s Miracle Plum is self fertile which means that you do 
not have to grow another variety of Plum near it in order to get 
a good quantity of fruit, but for what is called a heavy commercial 
crop it is necessary to provide for cross pollination. 
As to its hardiness, we have reports from customers in lowa 
and northern Wisconsin in which they inform us that these trees 
survive without any damage temperatures as low as 20 degrees 
below zero.

She New Red Leaf Preach 
A Two-Purpose Tree—A Grand Ornamental; Produces Full Crop 
of Edible Peaches! Also see page 164. 
Many ornamental trees have been offered with colored foliage, 
but never an ornamental PEACH TREE with RED FOLIAGE; bright 
red in spring, dulling to deep maroon towards fall. Deep rose 
blossoms against red foliage create a most pleasing contrast. 
Trees produce a full crop of perfectly round Peaches, 1 Y2-inch 
diameter—just the size for pickling. Fruit has all-over red 
coloring; flesh is white with a delicious sweet flavor.
