JAPAN PLUMS 



ABUNDANCE— One of the best Japan Plums. 

 Tree is very rapid grower, healthy and 

 comes into bearing quite young and yields 

 abundantly; medium size, rich, bright 

 cherry red with distinct bloom and highly 

 perfumed; flesh light yellow, juicy and tend- 

 er, and excellent quality. Tree vigorous 

 and hardy. 



BURBANK — Medium to large, orange-yellow, 

 dotted and marbeled with red; flesh meaty, 

 yellow, sweet and good; valuable for can- 

 ning and a good market plum. Mid-June. 

 Hardy and most prolific of the Japan va- 

 rieties. 



RED JL T NE — A very handsome plum, about a 

 week earlier than Abundance. By all odds 

 the best Japanese plum ripening befoie 

 Abundance. Medium to neaily large size, 

 deep vermillion red, with handsome bloom 

 and very showy; flesh light lemon-yellow or 

 whitish, firm and moderately juicy, very 

 slightly sub-acid to sweetish, of good, pleas- 

 ant quality; pit small; tree upright, spread- 

 ing, vigorous and succeeds in all sections of 

 the country. 



SVICKSON — Large, heart-shaped, deep ma- 

 roon red; flesh very firm, yellow, sub-acid, 

 rich and good; a good shipping plum; tree 

 upright, but in some localities a shy bearer. 



Hansen Hybrid 



New Plums introduced by Professor Hansen of the South Dakota Experiment 

 Station at Brookings, who has originated many new fruits which are of great val- 

 ue and importance to all sections of the country. One important feature of these 

 Hybrid Plums is their good quality, extreme hardiness, prolificness and early bear- 

 ing.

HANSKA — This is a cross between the native 

 Plum and the fine fragrant Apricot Plum of 

 China. The fruit is splendid for eating out 

 of the hand, and when cooked retains the 

 Apricot flavor. The size of the fruit is about 

 one and V2 inches in diameter. The color of 

 the fruit when ripe is bright red, with a 

 heavy blue bloom; flesh is firm, yellow, good 

 quality and very fragrant. It begins to 

 bear the second year, ripens in August. Its 

 value for preserves will make it popular 

 everywhere. There is a tremendous demand 

 for this variety, and we have been unable to 

 meet the demand to date. 



OP ATA — One-year-old trees set fruit buds 

 freely. No. 1 trees transplanted will bear 

 next year. This variety is a cross between 

 the Sand Cherry and the Gold Plum, a very 

 large plum, for which $3,000 was paid when 

 first introduced. The tree resembles the 

 plum in its habit of growth. The fruit is one 

 inch or more in diameter; small pit. It is 

 a dark purplish red, with blue bloom, flesh 

 is green and firm; flavor pleasant, partakes 

 of the rich sweetness of the Gold Plum. Tt 

 is excellent for eating out of the hand as well 

 as for table and cooking purposes. Bears 

 as early as the first week in August. This 

 is greatly in its favor, as at that season there 

 is very little fruit of any kind. Tree hardy 

 and a great bearer certainly makes it popu- 

 lar wherever planted. 



SAP A— Introduced in 1908. Fruit has a glos- 

 sy, dark purple ,thin skin, rich dark purple

red flesh of the Sultan Plum. On account of 

 its fine flavor and rich coloring Sapa has 

 headed the list of these Hybrids in populari- 

 ty. Excellent eating out of the hand, and 

 makes the most delicious, rich, sweet, deep 

 wine colored sauce. It is a wonderfully ear- 

 ly and prolific bearer. Specimens grown in 

 Minnesota on one-year-old trees in the year 

 1909 took first prize as a seedling plum at 

 the Minnesota State Fair of that year. 

 Fruits are borne in clusters around the 

 branches, and three-year-old trees have 

 borne as high as one and one-half bushels. 

 Tree is spreading and handsome in appear- 

 ance. 

 WANETA — This wonderful big new Plum is 

 the latest of Professor Hansen's productions, 

 and gives the northern orchardist his first 

 opportunity to compete with California in 

 growing large market Plums. The follow- 

 ing is Professor Hansen's description: "My 

 belief is that in this variety I have combin- 

 ed the best points of the native and Japanese 

 Plum. It is the largest of 10,000 seedlings. 

 In size it is two inches in diameter and 

 weighs two ounces. The female parent is 

 the apple plum, a large Japanese variety. 

 The male parent is the Terry, the largest of 

 the native varieties. We regard this as the 

 most promising plum that has been offered 

 to our planters since the settlement of the 

 country. All the reports coming in from 

 those who have tried it describe the Waneta 

 as bearing early and producing the largest 

 fruit that has been raised in our locality."
