Spanish King- — Large; 
roundish-oblong; blue, 
flesh yellow, juicy, sweet 
and very good. One of 
the best of this class of 
plums for all purposes. 
Hardy and vigorous. Sep- 
tember. 
Tatge — Large; roundish- 
oblong; dark blue; flesh 
yellow, sweet and *good. 
Similar to Spanish King. 
Makes an excellent prune. 
September. 
Untarnished Prune — Large, 
dark blue; free stone; 
very good when well ri- 
pened. Not an early bear- 
er, but very productive. 
A variety which has 
proven very profitable 
for us. 
HYBRID GROUP 
No class of fruits recent- 
ly introduced is attracting 
more attention than the Hy- 
brid Plums. The hardiness 
and productiveness of the 
native fruits are being 
combined with the superior 
fruits of the tender import- 
ed varieties with wonder- 
ful results. 
Gold — (Robinson and Bot- 
an.) — Large to very 
large; golden yellow with 
some red; juicy, sweet 
and good. Very product- 
ive fairly hardy and vig- 
orous. 
CHERRY PLUMS 
All hybrids of the West- 
ern Sand Cherry and culti- 
vated plums. 
Compass — (Miner Plum and 
Sand Cherry. )—S mall; 
purplish-red; very good 
for cooking. Tree won- 
derfully productive, thrif- 
ty and healthy. 
Prices of the following 
varieties: 5 to 7 ft., 7Ec 
each; 4 to B ft., 60c each; 3 
to 4 ft., 40c each. 
Opata — A cross of the Sand 
Cherry and Gold Plum. 
Fruit 1 to 1 3-16 inches in 
diameter; dark purplish 
red with blue bloom; flesh 
green, and flavor a ming- 
ling of the sprightliness 
of the Sand Cherry with 
the rich sweetness of the 
Gold Plum. Pit very 
small. Season, July 15. 
S»P» — A cross of the Sand 
Cherry and Burbank's 
large, purple fleshed plum 
called Sultan. Fruit 
slightly larger than 
Opata. Skin, flesh and 
juice very dark purple- 
red, which makes this en- 
tirely unlike any other 
fruit grown here. Sapa 
took first prize at Minne- 
sota State Fair in 1909. 
Wachampa — Another cross 
between Sand Cherry and 
Sultan plum. Fruit about 
as large as Sapa, of uni- 
form size, purplish, with 
light red flesh and very 
small pit; sweet and good. 
In our estimation, one of 
the best of the lot. Aug- 
ust. 
Sansoto — A cross of Sand 
Cherry and DeSoto plum. 
Fruit round, about the 
size of the DeSoto plum, 
almost black when fully 
ripe. Flesh yellowish 
green, sprightly pleasant, 
skin thin; pit very small; 
cling stone. A vigorous 
variety. August. 
Cheresoto — Same parentage 
as Sansoto and very much 
the same except in shape. 
Cheresoto is long and has 
a small point at the apex. 
These two varieties are 
remarkably thrifty grow- 
ers and, we believe, far 
superior to the Compass 
cherry. August. 
APRICOT PLUMS 
Hybrids of the large, flat. 
Chinese Apricot, Prunus 
Simoni and our native 
plum. These varieties are 
very hardy and all are re- 
markably vigorous growers. 
Hanska — Fruit large; dis- 
tinctly flat; bright red, 
with heavy bloom; flesh 
firm, yellow, of very fine 
quality and richly frag- 
rant. The apricot flavor 
is brought out to perfec- 
tion in cooking. Very vig- 
orous, hardy and produc- 
tive. 
Inkpa, Kaga and Tok» — Of 
the same pedigree as 
Hanska and very similar 
to it in fruit. These four 
varieties are all remark- 
ably vigorous and make 
the finest nursery trees 
of anything we have ever 
grown. We believe there 
is a great future for this 
class of hybrids.
