• GOLDENROD 
Goldenrod is one of the very few clear yellow 
plums produced among thousands of hardy 
.hybrids. It carries promise as a market variety 
because of its firm flesh, large size, attractive 
"color, and excellent shipping quality, it exceeds 
all other varieties except Tonka in keeping 
finality after harvest. The tree is unusually 
vigorous and is hardy in all but the northern¬ 
most sections of Minnesota. 
FIEBING PRIZE 
This delicious plum was given the high award of the Fiebing Prize at the 
Minnesota State Fair in 1930. Since that time its popularity has grown 
immensely. It is a big red pluni. The fruit ripens early, flesh is firm, and of 
excellent flavor, and a beautiful red color. Fiebing is equal to California Plums 
in size and quality. Another plum that you can peel like a peach. Do not 
overlook Fiebing Prize in your plum list. (See front cover for colored picture.) 
• SUPERIOR PLUM 
The 1933 sensation of the plum world. This 
wonderful, new' plum was originated by the 
State Fruit Breeding Farm of Minnesota and 
after being tested thoroughly, was christened 
Superior by the Minnesota State Horticultural 
Society. Its very name is a challenge, for this 
new plum is conceded to be superior to any of 
the older varieties, as large as California Plums 
and surpasses them in quality. It has firm flesh 
and a beautiful red color. You can peel it as you 
would a peach. Don’t fail to get at least two. 
• TONKA 
The Tonka is without doubt one of the three 
best Plums in the Minnesota Group. Fruit is 
large, richly flavored, juicy, solid, and is an ideal 
plum for any purpose. Tree is very productive. 
When planning your orchard be sure to 
include the Tonka. 
• UNDERWOOD 
AMERICAN HYBRID 
VARIETIES 
• TERRY 
One of the largest of pure American plums, 
is dark red and the tree is vigorous and healthy 
and very productive. A good variety and very 
hardy. 
• WYANT 
Hardy, heavy producing, large Plum of good 
quality. Purplish-red irr color; a good shipper. 
SURPRISE PLUM—Extra large, red. high 
quality. Good for market. Makes an unusually 
large tree. Very productive. 
• CREE 
• HENNEPIN 
Hennepin is a dark reddish purple plum cov¬ 
ered with a dense bloom, giving it a distinctive 
,and attractive appearance. It is a good dessert 
‘plum and is especially valuable for canning and 
•preserving on account of its rich purplish red 
.flesh. The characteristic light green foliage sets 
off in pleasing contrast the heavy load of richly 
colored fruits ripening in early August. 
• LA CRESCENT 
Minn. No. 109. For delicate coloring and 
delicious flavor La Crescent leads all other plums 
roduced at the University of Minnesota Fruit 
reeding Farm. It is a clear yellow, faintly 
blushed, and lightly covered with a thin white 
bloom. It is too tender in skin and flesh to 
stand up well under rough handling, but for 
home use it is unexcelled either to eat out of 
band or for sauce. The tree is vigorous, tall, 
and spreading, and makes a handsome appear¬ 
ance. The fruit ripens a few days earlier than 
Underwood. It is hardy in all but the most north¬ 
ern sections of Minnesota. The variety is 
especially recommended for home orchards. 
• MONITOR 
A new annual heavy bearing variety. Fruit is 
large, thick skinned, strong, not astringent. 
Color, a dullish bronze-red; yellow flesh, tender, 
very juicy but firm, sweet. One of the best 
quality plums. Very hardy. Late midseason 
bearer. 
One of the hardiest and most vigorous growers 
of all the Minnesota Hybrids. The fruit ripens 
early, making it exceptionally well adapted to 
northern latitudes. It has been grown success¬ 
fully in several points of North Dakota and at 
Winnipeg in Manitoba. Picture Below. 
Heavy bearing, extra hardy plum of high 
quality. A cross of a wild plum from Canada 
and one of the high quality California plums. 
Fruit is large, red, very early bearer. Hardy as 
far north as you wish to plant.
