“ Shiro XXX 
Many years ago a fellow had a description of 
Shiro in his catalog. I thought it was overrated. 
I do not think so now. Shiro trees often grow off 
slow. They seem to have all their trouble when 
they are young. Then they grow into big trees. 
Get to bearing five or six bushels to the trees. 
The plums are yellow and when ripe they are 
so clear you can almost see the seed, They are 
very delicious. Some say better than apricots. 
They are good for local market but do not haul 
“Sapa XXXX 
A hardy variety of plum originated by Professor 
Hansen in North Dakota. Adapted to the northern 
plains but reports show that it is doing good 
everywhere planted except in the extreme south. 
Doesn’t make a large tree, rather scrubby but 
bears abundantly and makes the most delicious 
of all pies and jellies. Around Snyder when plums 
are mentioned it is Sapa. A deep red with red 
meat, medium sized and extra quality. Ripens in 
~ Burbank XXX 
About the largest plum 
we grow that bears 
heavy crops of fruit. A 
big purplish red with 
yellow meat, fruit grows 
all up and down the 
limbs, Trees do _ not 
grow extra tall as after 
they start bearing the 
fruit weights them down 
and causes the limbs to 
droop. A good plum to 
plant both for home use 
and market as it hoids 
up good and is nice and 
showy. Ripe about June 
the 15th. 
LANCASTER PLUM 
A few years ago a man by the name of Lancaster 
asked us to come by and look at a plum tree he 
had growing in his yard. We did and as a result 
came home and started budding Lancaster plums. 
They are one of the largest of all red plums and 
the tree just breaks down with them every year. 
[ have never seen anywhere a plum that would 
equal it. Try one. You are sure to be pleased

Santa Rosa Plum 
Qne of the largest plums grown, large red meaty 
plums. Does extremely well near the coast and also 
doing good in this section. It is one plum that I 
um always getting samples of as it is a beauty. 
~“Methley XXX 
This might be termed a southern plum as it is in 
great demand for southern planting. A wonderful 
plum for eating fresh and one that is always sure 
to be a delight to the orchadist. A purple plum 
with pink meat and a delicious flavor. Trees not 
so healthy is the only objection that can be found 
with it. Medium to large in size. Ripens in June. 
“Hanska XXXX 
A plum that has the most distinctive of flavors. 
Sweet yet has plenty of acid for jellies and pre- 
serves. Trees tall growing, fruit red with tiny 
white spots, hardy and seldom misses a _ crop. 
Good for market and local trade as they are 
late and hold up well, about the first of July. 
~America XXXX 
One of our very best. The trees are good growers, 
come into bearing promptly, bear regular. Large 
yellow until ripe then they turn red. Fine for 
preserves. Large orchards of this have been plant- 
ed, these have in a way been neglected and people 
will have to start over again, Four-year-old Amer- 
icas have borne two bushels to the tree or run 
two hundred bushels to acre. You might have 
something of real value to plant an acre of 
America plums. 
~ Bruce 
BRUCE—A large, red, juicy plum, good for com- 
mercial hauling and plantings, but never plant 
alone as they are not self sterile. Trees are vigor- 
ous in growth, resembling the old-time thicket 
plum. Ripens the last of May and first of June.
