HARDY FRUITS FOR NORTHERN PLANTERS 
23 
DANIELS 
Quality Plums 
TONKA. Early mid-season, very heavy bearing 
at an early age. The fruit is large, attractive 
bright red color. Pit is small, entirely free¬ 
stone, quality good, flavor sweet. 
RED WING. Mid-season. One of the largest and 
finest looking of the plums. Bears early, heav¬ 
ily and regularly. Has fruited successfully as 
far north as Winnipeg. Red, free-stone and of 
high quality. 
Red Wing 
MONITOR. Late. If blue ribbons were being 
given out. Monitor would be awarded three; 
yes, four. One for a vigorous, strong growing 
tree; one for regular bearing; another for ex¬ 
cellent shipping and market qualities, and a 
fourth for delicious flavor. Color is red, slightly 
russeted. Unquestionably one of the finest 
plums. 
ELLIOT. It would be hard to improve on Elliot 
for a late variety. Fruit large, attractive, bright 
clear red; fine flavor, splendid quality, free¬ 
stone. Since the introduction of these plums 
Elliot has maintained the most uniformly heavy 
production of the entire group. No home or 
commercial planting is complete without Elliot.

SAYS: 
Speaking of Bringing Home the 
“Bacon”— 
Bringing the dollars home has been a 
sure and regular proceeding for those 
who have been growing fruits—even 
during the past two years. Food for 
thought—eh, what?

PLUM SECRETS 
Proper Pollenizers Necessary for 
Good Plum Crops 
The new Minnesota plums are conceded to be 
the finest race of plums ever developed for the 
Northwest. They are large, high quality, unex¬ 
celled for home use or market. The trees are 
vigorous growers and, where properly pollenated, 
produce tremendous crops. This past season the 
State Fruit Breeding Farm culminated three years 
of carefully conducted experiments relating to 
plum pollenation and have announced that the 
Minnesota varieties must have pollen from certain 
other plum types in order to produce full crops. 
We offer this year a splendid stock of the four 
best pollenizers for the Minnesota plums. They 
are the Americana type—all leading varieties of 
their class and are desirable fruits for any or¬ 
chard. We cannot urge too strongly that every 
one who has planted or is going to plant any of 
the Minnesota plums put in at least one of these 
pollenizers to every 3 or 4 of the Minnesota 
plums. 
Plum Pollenizers 
The pollenizers listed below have been found 
to be the most satisfactory varieties for the 
Minnesota Plum varieties. 
We will select the variety best suited to your 
needs. 
HANSKA. Bright red, large; firm yellow flesh of 
good quality. Especially important as a pollen- 
izer for Underwood. 
SURPRISE. Attractive dark red plum of good 
quality. Its good sized fruits have long been a 
standard of quality. 
WOLF. Noted for great hardiness and regularity 
of bearing. Fruits attractive, dull crimson, good 
flavor and freestone. Mid-season.
