BIG OPPORTUNITIES 
IN FRUIT GROWING 
NOW OPEN TO ALL 
AT SMALL COST. 
PLUM SECRETS DISCOVERED 
BY STATE 
For years failure of certain 
Plum Trees to bear, baffled fruit 
growers. Now the Experiment 
Station has discovered that it 
takes certain varieties of Plums to 
pollinate other trees. Plum Trees 
must have the right mate and the 
Surprise Plum is the answer. 
When this Plum was used to pol¬ 
linate, a bumper crop invariably 
resulted. See description below.

THE BIG RED HARALSON APPLE- 
The prize origination of the Minnesota Experi¬ 
ment Station. No finer red winter apple has ever 
been introduced. The outstanding feature of the 
Haralson is its keeping quality—keeping in per¬ 
fect condition until late spring. The Haralson 
is free from blight and best of all, has the ten¬ 
dency to bear early. Haralson orchards, there¬ 
fore, come into bearing much more quickly than 
most other varieties. Haralson produces a good 
size, deep red apple of excellent flavor. Prices: 
See below. 
Prof. W. H. Alderman, Chief, Division of 
Horticulture. University of Minnesota, says 
of Haralson:—“Its size, shape, and color 
are just right for an ideal commercial apple. 
The tree is extremely vigorous, productive 
and hardy. The branches spring at wide 
angles from the central trunk and are very 
strong in the crotches. The fruit will keep 
in an ordinary cellar throughout the winter 
without artificial refrigeration.’’ 
ANOKA-THE SURPRISE APPLE- 
Fruit, the second season—wouldn’t that surprise 
you? A real quality apple, early to ripen, of 
fine color and excellent flavor. This sturdy lit¬ 
tle tree bears the second year, and each year 
thereafter, resisting blight and producing a con¬ 
sistent crop of fruit. It is well suited for the 
Northwest. A one-year-old tree at the Fargo 
Agricultural Experiment Station bore 26 good 
apples the second year. Prices: See below. 
McIntosh red —This variety has come 
into rapid favor as one of the most important 
fall and early winter varieties. Large orchards 
are being set out with McIntosh Red predom¬ 
inating. An exceptionally fine eating apple, of 
good size, bright red color, and a delicious aro¬ 
matic flavor. Season, January. Prices below. 
NORTHWESTERN GREENING -The 
fruit is very large, smooth, handsome, turning 
yellow as it matures. This is one of the best 
baking and cooking apples for late winter and 
spring. Season December to March. Prices: below. 
WEALTHY -The leading apple for its season 
throughout the Northwest. The fruit is large, 
a beautiful shade of deep red, and the flavor 
excellent. It is one of the best eating apples 
that can be grown in the Northwest and ranks 
with Haralson in quality and commercial value. 
A good keeper and heavy yielder. Prices below. 
DOUBLE RED DUCHESS- A new im¬ 
provement. Possesses all the good qualities of 
the Old Duchess including the early ripening, 
hardiness, and heavy regular bearing. In addi¬ 
tion, it has HIGH RED COLOR. This outstand¬ 
ing red color makes Double Red Duchess a favor¬ 
ite on the market, and brings 50c to $1.00 a 
basket more. Prices: See below. 
DOLGO-THE LAWN TREE CRAB- 
The aristocrat of the Crab Apple family. It has 
rare beauty as an ornamental lawn tree. It is not 
subject to blight as were the old varieties and 
is perfectly hardy. Bears an abundance of fruit 
and no long wait, for young baby trees have been 
known to bear fruit the third season. The apple 
itself is a very rich red and jells perfectly even 
when dead ripe. A fine canning crab. Prices below. 
WHITNEY CRAB -This well-known favorite 
hardly needs description. A favorite in the 
home for canning and preserving. Boys like it 
because it is so good to eat off the trees. Fruit 
is of good size—very highly colored—-free bear¬ 
er, producing immense crops. Prices: See below. 
YELLOW TRANSPARENT APPLE -No 
orchard should be without these delicious golden 
yellow apples. Good to eat long before other 
sorts are ready. Fruit large, yellow with crisp 
meat and delicious flavor. Prices below. 
NEW JUMBO PLUMS 
See Color Illustrations, Pages 38-39 
NEW EMBER. (Minnesota No. 83.) A new 
plum originated at the Minnesota Fruit Breeding 
Farm. Professor W. H. Alderman, Chief, Divi¬ 
sion of Horticulture, says; “Minnesota No. 83 
is a late plum of good size and has exceptionally 
fine dessert and canning qualities. It is yellow 
with attractive red blush. It hangs to the tree 
tenaciously even at full maturity, and after pick¬ 
ing will keep in good condition for two or three 
weeks.’’ Prices below. 
SUPERIOR PLUM. (Minnesota 194.) A 
wonderful new hardy Plum originated at the 
State Fruit Breeding Farm by crossing big Cal¬ 
ifornia Burbank varieties. After testing it in 
various sections, it was christened “Superior’’ 
by the State Horticultural Society. It is as 
large as California Plums, surpassing them in 
quality and hardiness. It has a firm flesh, a 
beautiful red color and peels like a peach. 
Prices below. 
KAGA -An outstanding canning plum, origi¬ 
nated by Prof. Hansen of the S. D. Agricultural 
College. Has a distinct delicious flavor, and 
is sometimes called the apricot plum. For can¬ 
ning or jam it is unsurpassed, though smaller 
in size than Underwood and Superior. It is 
also indispensable as a pollinator. Prices below. 
underwood -The best known of the 
many Plums originated at the Minnesota Fruit 
Breeding Farm. Bears annually, is of large size 
and excellent flavor; flesh firm, small pit. It may 
be readily peeled for canning. Underwood and 
Surprise should be planted close together to in¬ 
sure setting of fruit. Prices below. 
SURPRISE -A sweet juicy plum, excellent 
to eat out of hand. Surprise is also an efficient 
pollenator for Jumbo plums or for any common 
plums. Prices: See below.
