J. V. BAILEY NURSERIES 
PLUMS 
The foil owing varieties of plums are far superior 
to the older varieties, and we feel perfectly safe in 
recommending them. They are very fast growing and 
usually come into bearing the second year after 
setting. They are perfectly hardy in our climate, and 
we have selected and propagated the following 
varieties which have shown exceptional qualities. 
Like Apples and Pears, Plum trees are very scarce 
this year. We have found it necessary to raise our 
prices slightly, but our supply is very limited and 
we do not expect our assortment to be complete 
as the season advances. We urge you to order 
fruit trees early. 
Prices, except where noted: 5 to 7 ft., $1.00 
each; $9.00 per 10. 4 to 6 ft., 80c each; $7.50 
per 1 0. 
MINNESOTA No. 83 —We offer a limited supply 
of this variety this year for the first time. Fruit is 
large, yellow with red blush, late maturing, qual¬ 
ity excellent. Keeps a long time after harvesting. 
5 to 7 ft., $1.25 each; $11.00 per 10. 4 to 6 ft., 
$1.10 each; $10.00 per 10. 
FIEBING PRIZE —This is a comparatively recent 
introduction. It has proven itself to be of real 
value. Fruit is very firm and of excellent canning 
quality. Dark red, and ripens mid-season to late. 
LACRESCENT —An extremely vigorous tree, bear¬ 
ing pure yellow fruit of highest quality and deli¬ 
cate texture,- most promising as an early home 
variety, but too tender for shipping.

vigorous, well shaped tree, producing large, red, 
firm fleshed fruit of high quality.

season, with beautiful, red, freestone fruit of high

ducing large, round, red fruit of firm flesh and 
good quality. Freestone.

ing, early maturing variety, especially popular on 
account of its size, red color, earliness and high 
quality. Freestone.

exceptionally hardy. 
SUPERIOR (Minn. No. 194) —This new variety 
promises to surpass everything in the early var¬ 
ieties. Fruit is large and of high quality. 5 to 7 ft., 
$1.25 each; $11.00 per 10. 4 to 6 ft., $1.10
