edly one of the best. It has been carefully tested here and at the

quality. It is one of the largest sized plums of the North, the fruit 
being bright red, skin thin, ripening in the latter part of August. It is 
a cross between the Prunus Nigra of Manitoba and the Shiro plum, 
Each, 40c; 5 for $1.80. 
NATIVE WILD PLUM, ironclad as to hardiness, useful in windbreak 
and shelter belt planting, and very valuable for its certain 
crop of fruit which makes delicious sauce, jam and jelly.

per 100^ $3.50. 
*/ RED WING. This is one of the largest fruited plums of the

sweet and of good quality; freestone. Midseason bearer. 
Each, 40c; 5 for $1.80. 
i RADISSON. This exceptionally early and delicious plum from 
the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Station once again has shown 
t mi er wo ml itself to be one of the hardiest and most satisfactory for the 
Northwest. The size is fairly large and the quality is unsurpassed. Fruit is a handsome red. 
Each, 40c; 5 for $1.80. 
UNDERWOOD. This is one of the hardiest of the new Minnesota Fruit Breeding Station varie¬ 
ties and has proven perfectly hardy with us. These varieties in flavor are the equal of any 
of the Japanese plums, are larger than any of the American type, and are thrifty and strong 
varieties which bear annually. The Underwood is an excellent keeper and the earliest plum 
tlm list. Fruit is large, dark red, and sweet. Ripens in midseason. Each, 45c; 5 for $2.00.

of excellent flavor. Fine healthy trees, each, 50c; 5 for $2.25.
