A Two-Purpose Trzee—A Grand Ornamental 
Produces Full Crop of Edible Peaches 
Many ornamental trees have been offered with col- 
ored 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, 
| ’2-iinch diameter—just the size for pickling. Fruit 
has all-over-red coloring; flesh is white with a delicious 
sweet flavor.

Plum 
(Patented) 
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 it- 
self. 
Invariably, after tasting the ‘Miracle 
Plum,‘’ comes the exclamation: “’This fruit 
is truly a miracle. It is something out of this 
world.” 
Here are some facts about the ‘Miracle 
Plum’’: Extraordinarily lorge fruit, average 
diameter 22 to 234 inches. An astounding 
surprise to the palate, flavor not unlike 
Nectarine, Peach and Plum mixed; skin 
thin and unnoticeable when eating fruit, 
miniature stone, meat Nectarine-like in 
quality. Keeping qualities excellent, de- 
licious 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 un- 
like 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 quality of fruit, but for what 
is called a heavy commercial crop it is nec- 
essary 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.
