NEW MINNESOTA PLUMS 
The State of Minnesota maintains a Fruit Breeding Farm of near 
200 acres where constant experiments are going on and where thou' 
sands of new seedling plums, apples, currants, etc. are being tried out. 
This farm has sent out many fine new Fiybrid Plums. We keep 
constantly in touch with the work of the Breeding Farm and as fast 
as desirable new kinds are released, we offer them to our customers 
We here offer several of the best of these new plums. 
A ~Pl virv* We are a l wa Y s on the lookout for a good new plum. 
lUUL 1. 1U.1I1 wh en we were imformed by Mr. Chas. Haralson, 
former superintendent of the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm, that he had 
a new plum of fine quality, we visited his nursery and saw this new plum. 
The tree clearly shows its apricot blood. The fruit which is of medium size 
is a light bright red overlaid with green. The flesh is meaty, juicy, sweet, 
and a remarkably pleasant flavor. It is entirely different from any other plum. 
No bitterness about skin or pit. 
5 to 6 ft. $1.50; 2 for $2.50.

This is the greatest of all 
plum-cherries for planting in 
cold dry locations. It seems to do better than 
any other kind in the drier sections of the 
Dakotas. The fruit which resembles a small 
red plum comes in great quantities. Compass 
canning fruit. When canned, its cherry 
Fiebing 
characteristics are brought out and the sauce 
is simply wonderful. Compass is also a fine 
fertilizer for the Oka.

Here is the latest of the new 
Plums brought out by Chas. 
Haralson. We think it is his best. Every plum 
lover should have it. It is an albover dark red, 
of immense size. Colors up a week before it 
is ripe which makes it an excellent shipper. The plum is of fine appearance, 
very meaty, with plenty of juice, and a quality that is superb. 
4 to 6 ft. trees, $1.35; 2 for $2.25. 
To date this is the best all-around plum that the State 
Farm has sent out. Superior is a rapid growing spreading 
tree that starts to bear as a 3-year-old from the graft. As a 5-year-old 
it bears an immense crop of plums of the largest size. Shape of fruit (see 
cut) indicates its apricot blood. Ripens over a long period of time which 
makes it a valuable market plum. Bright red, meaty, clingstone, finest 
flavor. Average size fruits measure V/% inches in diameter by V/t, inches 
deep. 4 to 5 ft. @ $1.10; 2 for $2.00; 5 to 6 ft., $1.25; 2 for $2.25.
