PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS. The Hansen, Minnesota 
and Native Plums are hardy everywhere, and they 
are very easy to grow; plant two or more varieties 
for best results. The trees can be planted as close 
together as 12 to 15 feet, except the European Plums 
and Prunes, which should stand at least 20 feet apart. 
Plant the trees deep enough that the bud just above 
the root is covered 2 inches.

Omaha Plum 
Native Plums 
Hansen Plums 
Improved strains of Wild Plums. Valuable for can¬ 
ning. 
Prof. Hansen of the South Dakota Experimental 
Station has originated a number of fine hardy plums, 
all bear very young and exceptionally heavy. These 
trees deserve a place in every garden. We list four 
varieties that are sure to please everybody. 
Hanska. Bright red, heavy blue bloom, firm flesh, 
good quality. This is an abundant bearer. When 
cooked, the flavor resembles that of the Apricot. 
6apa. Glossy dark purple, flesh of the same color. 
Very good quality. It is surprising how young this 
tree will bear; our 2-year-old trees in the nursery 
usually have some fruit. Very hardy. 
Omaha. Very large, dark red with small pit. 
Sweet, well flavored. It is one of the best na¬ 
tive plums for the North and Middle West. 
^ Golden Rod. A very fine hardy yellow plum. Sweet 
and tender. You will like the quality of this plum. 
European Plums 
Waneta. (The Plum on the front cover.) This is the 
largest of the Hansen Plums, often 2 inches in di¬ 
ameter. Good red in color with a delicious flavor. 
We could fill a book of the size of this catalog with 
letters from our customers who have planted Han¬ 
sen Plums and write of the wonderful results they 
have had. The Waneta is the most popular. We 
urge you to try it, and we promise you will be well 
pleased. 
Opata. The earliest of 
the Hansen Plums. 
Color of the flesh is 
green, very pleasant 
flavor. The plums 
are dark purplish 
red. Ripens here 
July 20th, and will 
hang on the tree for 
up to two weeks in 
good condition. 
Minnesota 
Plums 
v/ 
y Monitor. A good mar¬ 
ket variety for the 
Northwest. Fine 
quality, firm flesh 
and large size. Color 
of the fruit and flesh 
is dark red, flavor 
excellent. 
Red Wing. Fruit large, 
yellow, overlaid with 
red. Pit small and 
entirely free, sweet, 
high quality. Ripen* 
third week 1* Au¬ 
gust. 
2-y*ar-old Waneta Plum 
Tr*e and daughters of Wal¬ 
ter Jones, Wheelersburg, O. 
The trees come into bearing age after 3 to 5 years. 
They are not quite as hardy as the other plums we 
are offering and should not be planted north of Ne¬ 
braska, except in the regions of the Great Lakes. The 
European Plums are desirable market varieties. 
Lombard. Medium size, oval, violet red, flesh yellow 
and juicy. Does well in light soil. It is a gre^it 
bearer and the hardiest of the European plums. 
Will do well in Nebraska and Kansas. Ripens last 
of August. 
Imperial Gage. Very juicy, sweet, flavor fine. About 
as good a plum as there is on the market; large oval, 
greenish color. Ripens middle of September. 
Yellow Egg. Fruit very large, prune shaped, yellow 
with red dots. Fine for the table or cooking. Rip¬ 
ens last of August. 
Shropshire Damson. Small to medium size, dark pur¬ 
ple plums, really a fine variety for the home gar¬ 
den, and as it is fairly hardy, we can recommend 
this plum for Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and the east¬ 
ern states. Excellent quality. 
Japanese Plum 
Burbank. Freestone, deep yellow flesh, firm, sweet, 
keeping and shipping well. This is the best Japan¬ 
ese variety for Nebraska owing to its hardiness, and 
the trees will prove very satisfactory. Ripens in 
August. 
v German Prune 
Large, long, oval, purple. Flesh sweet, pleasant and 
firm. Freestone. Hardy as far north as the middle 
of Nebraska. The best for drying and preserving, and 
much hardier than the Italian Prune (Fellenbergs). 
Choke Cherry 
The new strain, bushy in growth, berries black, 
mild in flavor, bears very good.
