The Linn County Nurseries 
DWARF PEARS are grafted on Quince roots, which dwarf and bring them 
into bearing earlier. They are most useful where room is limited. Duchess does 
particularly well as a dwarf.

Surprise, Terry, and Desoto are all pure American varieties of splendid 
quality for all purposes, and are very dependable for the far North. 
Elliott, Tonka, Underwood, and Superior are splendid large new hybrid 
varieties with very small seeds and high quality, but do not pollinate one 
another. 
To secure pollination, plant trees of a native variety like Surprise or Terry, 
or another type of hybrid such as Toka, among them as pollenizers in the 
proportion of one or more pollenizer to 6 or 8 to be pollenated. 
Toka itself is one of the very best plums and has a pronounced fragrance. 
Oka, Sapa, and Wachampa are all hybrids of the Western Sand Cherry 
produced by Prof. Hansen and are dwarf trees which bear at any size. The 
fruit is of medium size, has purple flesh, very small pits, and is very fine for 
canning. Oka is very dwarf. 
German Prune and Lombard are European or Blue Plums and do better 
farther east as a rule.
