Fiebing. 
FIEBING. A new Plum named from the special 
$100.00 Fiebing Prize which was awarded this Plum 
after being exhibited for the first time at the State 
Fair. Very large, firm flesh, red all over, excellent 
quality. It is hardy, having stood a test of 40 degrees 
below zero. This Plum bears heavily; gets red a week 
before ripening; is very firm, making an excellent 
Plum for market on account of its handsome color, 
large size, and ability to stand up well. A prize of 
$100.00 was offered for a number of years through 
the Minnesota Horticultural Society by Mr. Fiebing, 
of Milwaukee. This Plum, after a thorough test as to 
hardiness of tree, size, color, firmness, and quality, 
was awarded this prize. Every planting should have a 
good portion of Fiebing. Being a new variety, the 
supply of trees is limited. Order early. 
J^Jumbo Plums 
Big as Californ ia Plu ms 
Taste Better 
The choice list of Jumbo Plums described below are considered the 
cream. Our recommendation is to plant an assortment including some for 
each season, early, medium, and late. Pollinator Plums should be included 
in every planting to insure a good crop. 
SUPERIOR. (See color cut back cover). This sensational new Plum 
was originated at the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm and is considered 
the most perfect Plum of all the fine Plums introduced by the station. 
Fruit very large, firm flesh, beautiful red color, and delicious quality. You 
can peel them as you would a Peach. We secured our propa¬ 
gating wood direct from the State Fruit Breeding Farm and 
can supply you with genuine SUPERIOR. Order early as 
the supply is limited. 
UNDERWOOD. The Underwood is valuable because of 
its large, early fruit and annual bearing. It is the earliest 
of the large Plums, attaining a size of 1% inches in diam¬ 
eter. The tree is a vigorous grower, the limbs being strong 
and well distributed and are able to carry great loads of 
fruit. Fruit, attractive red with splendid quality, small pit, 
hangs well to the tree, ripening over a long period, August 
1st to 15th, enabling three pickings to be made. The Under¬ 
wood is an annual bearer. These features appeal alike to 
the commercial grower and to the home orchardist. 
MONITOR. Monitor is one of the market Plums we 
have been looking for here in the Northwest. It has high 
quality, firm flesh and a large size—some being more than 
1inches in diameter. It is very productive and a regular 
bearer. Season, late August. 
POLLINATOR PLUMS. The Minnesota State 
Fruit Farm has issued a bulletin setting forth the 
necessity of having pollinator Plums in each group 
of Jumbo Plum trees in order to insure perfect polli¬ 
nation and a setting of fruit. Their experiments show 
that without these pollinator trees even the best of 
varieties will carry little fruit, but after the pollina¬ 
tor Plum is added to the planting, the same trees will 
bear abundantly. One pollinator Plum to 10 Jumbo 
Plums is recommended. The following varieties have 
proven to be good pollinators: Surprise and De Soto.
