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. 
Superior 
(See color cut, front cover). This sensational new 
Plum was originated at the Minnesota Fruit Breeding 
Farm and is considered the most perfect Plum of all fine Plums intro' 
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 
our propagating wood direct from the State Fruit Breeding Farm and can 
supply with genuine SUPERIOR. Order early as the supply is limited. 
C(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. 
Infforw/msl The Underwood is valuable be' 
unuerwuou cause of its large> early fruit and 
annual bearing. It is the earliest of the large Plums, 
attaining a size of 1%, 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.

a hardy tree with early maturing fruit is needed.

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.

l\.Q0Q one 0 f the most positive pollinizers for 
the Jumbo Plums or for common Plums. Besides, it
