The choice list of Jumbo Plums described below are considered the 
cream of the list. Our recommendation is to plant the full assortment as 
each one has a different season—each a different flavor. You will find 
them all excellent. A Pollinizer Plum should be included in every group.

duced 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

(Minnesota No. 83). The new Plum 
originated at the Minnesota Fruit Breed' 
ing Farm about which there have been so many fine 
reports. 
Professor W. H. Alderman, Chief, Division of Horti' 
culture, says, “Ember is a late Plum of good size and 
has exceptionally fine dessert and canning qualities. It 
is yellow with attractive red blush. It has two valuable 
and outstanding characteristics; it hangs to the tree ten' 
aciously even at full maturity, and after picking will 
keep in good condition for two or three weeks.” 
This late Plum together with the earlier varieties 
mentioned make a splendid assortment for the home 
or for market. Stock limited. Order early. 
11 nrlprwnnrl The Underwood is valuable be' 
cause of its large, early fruit and 
annual bearing. It is the earliest of the large Plums, 
attaining a size of 1^4 inches in diameter. The tree is 
a vigorous grower, the limbs being strong and well 
distributed and able to carry great loads of fruit. Plums, 
attractive red with splendid quality, small pit, hang 
well to the tree, ripening over a long period, August 
1st to 15th, enabling three pickings to be made. The 
Underwood is an annual bearer. These features ap' 
peal alike to the commercial grower and to the home 
orchardist.

POLLINIZER PLUMS 
Pollinizer Plums are essential for success in rais' 
ing Plums. Be sure to include some Kaga Apricot' 
Plums or Surprise Plums in every group of Jumbo 
Plums. If you now have a group of Plums not fruit' 
ing well, you should add some Kaga to the group 
this spring. 
Kaga and Surprise, described below, have proven 
to be the best pollinizers and, in addition, are excel' 
lent Plums themselves. 
Kaga 
(Apricot'Plum). In the first place it is 
one of the most positive pollinizers for 
the Jumbo Plums or for common Plums. Besides, it 
has a delicious and distinct quality unsurpassed by 
any other Plum. Kaga is especially fine for canning 
or for Plum jam; in fact, is conceded to be at the 
top of the list for this purpose. Commercial growers 
are receiving repeat orders for “the Apricot-Plum.” 
Sklirnrici* A sweet juicy plum, excellent to eat 
out of hand. Surprise is also an ef' 
ficient pollinizer for Jumbo Plum or for any com' 
mon Plums.
