HOBBS & SONS, BRIDGEPORT. INDIANA 55. Shipper's Pride Plums. Plums The plum like the pear and other finer fruits, succeeds best in neavy soil with some clay, and being almost entirely free from disease, they can be grown very profitably. Of late years the demand has been growing very rapidly. The finer kinds are excellent dessert fruits of rich and luscious flavor; for cooking and canning they are unsurpassed. For home consumption they should be allowed to remain on the trees until fully ripe, but for shipping they should be gathered a few days earlier. Some of the varieties are inclined to overbear and should be thinned in order to produce perfect fruit. Most all the varieties, especially the native sorts, are extremely hardy and will withstand the most severe weather. European Plums Bradshaw. Very large, dark violet-red; flesh yellowish-green, juicy and pleasant, tree vig- orous, erect and productive. August. German Prune.
