PLUMS FOR EVERYONE 
The following varieties of plums are far 
superior to the older varieties, and we feel 
perfectly safe in recommending them. They 
are very fast growing and usually come into 
bearing the second year after setting. They 
are perfectly hardy in our climate and we have 
selected and propagated the following varie¬ 
ties which have shown exceptional qualities. 
We graft our Plums and Cherries on Prunus 
Americana—our native hardy roots. This 
insures you hardy trees that will stand up 
under extreme conditions. 
We have a good supply of Plums and 
Cherries this year and offer them at attractive 
Prices. For special prices on small sizes see 
page 14. 
EMBER —One of the more recent plums in¬ 
troduced by the Minnesota State Fruit 
Breeding Farm. This plum has been gaining 
popularity and we have not yet been able 
to supply the demand. Ember is a large late 
Plum and has exceptionally fine dessert and 
canning qualities. It is yellow with attrac¬ 
tive red blush. Two outstanding and valu¬ 
able features are that the fruit hangs to the 
tree, even after thoroughly ripening, and 
after picking will keep well for two or three 
weeks. This is a late Plum and should be 
planted along with some of the earlier varie¬ 
ties to extend the season. 
Tonka Plum 
FIEBING PRIZE— This is a comparatively re¬ 
cent introduction. It has proven itself to be of 
real value. Fruit is very firm and of excellent 
canning quality. Dark red, and ripens mid¬ 
season to late. 
LA CRESCENT —A very high quality, 
yellow Plum. Flesh is very tender, 
and is a delicious plum for eating- 
fresh or canning. We heartily recom¬ 
mend La Crescent for the home or¬ 
chard but the flesh and skin are too 
tender to stand handling and exten¬ 
sive hauling to market. 
M O NI TO R— A late mid -season variety 
with a vigorous, well shaped tree, 
producing large, red, firm fleshed 
fruit of high quality. 
R E D WIN G —One of the largest Plums, 
ripens mid-season, with beautiful red, 
freestone fruit of high quality. 
SUPERIOR— This sensational, new Plum was 
originated by the Alinnesota State Fruit 
Breeding Farm and, after being tested thor¬ 
oughly, was very appropriately named SU¬ 
PERIOR. Its very name is a challenge, and it 
is considered by many to be our best plum in 
its season. Superior ripens very early, fruit is 
large, beautiful red, firm flesh, and of excep¬ 
tional quality. You can peel it as you would a 
Peach. We do not hesitate in recommending 
Superior for an earl}' red Plum.
