PLUMS 
Plums often bear the second year after planting. 
They are an ideal fruit for jelly, canning, pre- 
serving, and are most delicious for eating fresh. 
All of our Plum trees are established on the finest 
rootstock, Prunus Marianna. 
Months of ripening given are the average in our 
area. Ripening dates will vary from several days 
to several weeks, depending on weather conditions 
and geographical location. 
We offer thousands of quality trees as indicated 
in the field view of the Santa Rosa variety taken 
August 15, 1955.
