Fiebing. 
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 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 prop' 
agating wood direct from the State Fruit Breeding Farm 
and can supply you with genuine SUPERIOR. Order 
early as the supply is limited. 
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. 
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 diarm 
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 Urn 
derwood 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 
124 inches in diameter. It is very productive and a regular 
bearer. Season, late August. 
Plum Secrets! 
The Minnesota State Fruit Farm has issued 
a bulletin setting forth the necessity of hav' 
ing pollinator Plums in each group of Jumbo 
Plum trees in order to insure perfect polli' 
nation and a setting of fruit. Their experi' 
ments show that without these pollinator trees 
even the best of varieties will carry little fruit, 
but after the pollinator 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. 
Pollinator plums 
If you have plum trees in your yard now 
which do not bear, planting near them some 
of the pollinator plums mentioned below will 
very likely bring them into bearing. 
SURPRISE. This delicious plum is not 
only a splendid fruit in itself, sweet and juicy, 
a regular sugar plum, but it has also proven 
to be one of the very best varieties for poh 
linizing the Jumbo plums listed above. 
KAGA. An excellent plum and an excellent pollina- 
tor. The Kaga is not a iarge plum, but is one of the 
very finest quality plums far canning or for plum jam. 
Kaga is not only a very heavy and regular fruiter itself, 
but is valuable as a pollinator to induce other plums 
to bear. Stock very limited—order early. 
LA CRESCENT. Fruit of an orange-gold color; medium 
size and of exceedingly sweet and delicious flavor —a real 
“sugar” Plum of unusual quality. For home use only. 
Ripens early.
