IN ITS VARIOUS FORMS the plum is more widely
distributed throughout the country than any other
tree fruit, though in value the plum crop is exceeded
by that of four other fruits-the apple, peach, orange,
and grape. The great range of distribution, how-
ever, is mainly incident to the great diversity that
occurs in the species of native wild plums, culti-
vated horticultural varieties of which are found in
almost every nook and corner of the country.
Though the native plumis give vastness in range of
plum culture in general, it is the domestic or Euro-
pean varieties, the Japanese sorts, and those that
have originated as hybrids between Japanese and
native plums that constitute the commercial indus-
try. Prunes are included in the donlestica or Euro-
pean group. Some of the Japanese and hybrid
varieties are grown very widely, possibly as widely
as the varieties of any one species of native plum.
Though this bulletin is regional in its direct appli-
cation, it has to do with a very large part of the plum
and prune industry, as practically two-thirds of all
the plum and plrunle trees in the country are in
California, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.Washington, D. C.
