Hybrid Group 
Along this line our list Is rapidly increasing-, and promises to be very In- 
teresting In the future, and we hope profitable. Out of the many hybrids mak- 
ing their appearance at the present time, we have to believe something will 
evolve which will prove a great boon to the fruit-grower. 
COMPASS — A hybrid of Miner plum and Sand Cherrv; originated In Minne- 
sota, and is In great demand for planting in the Northwest. Unsurpassed In 
hardiness, a wonderfully thrifty, 
healthy, clean growing tree; bears pro- 
fusely at two years old; fruit small, 
purplish red; quality very fine for cul- 
inary use. Price, 5 to 7 feet, 50c each; 
one-year switches, 2 to 3 feet, 30s 
each. 
GONZALES PLUM— Parentage un- 
known; has some of the earmarks of 
both the Japanese and Chickasaw vari- 
eties; the only plum that scored 98 
points at the World's Fair, St. Louis, 
1904. This past season a five-year-old 
tree bore the very finest fruit ever 
produced in our orchard. They are so 
good we had to protect them with a 
net to keep the birds from taking the 
crop. Fruit so large that visitors pro- 
nounced them to be apples instead of 
plums. Color dark purplish red, with 
wine colored flesh; Juicy and sweet; 
small pit; cling; season, last part of 
August. A very remarkable and prom- 
ising fruit. 4 to 5 feet, 50c; 5 to 7 feet, 
75c each.

oval, deep cherry red; clingstone; me- 
dium season. A fine variety. This 
fruit averages a third larger than Wild 
Goose and is much firmer. The tree

habit, a sure and heavy bearer; resists 
Insects and rot In a gratifying way.

ety. 4 to 5 and 3 to 4 feet. 
WAUGH — A cross of Chabot and 
Wayland. Fruit high flavored, deep 
dark red and very large, covered with 
Compass a ijght bloom. With the exception of 
Gonzales, this fruit made the finest appearance of anything produced In our 
orchard this past season. Tree vigorous and a heavy bearer. 5 to 7 feet, 75c; 
4 to 5 feet, 50c. 
GOLDEN (Robinson and Botan Hybrid) — I fruited this variety this past 
season, and must say we are well pleased with Its behavior. It Is a very large 
plum, of delicious juicy sweetness; light golden yellow, changing to light 
cherry red when dead ripe. Reasonably hardy and seems to succeed In all 
parts of the country. 4 to 5 and 3 to 4 feet.
