Alika: A Hardy Red Red Rose - First offered spring, 1930. Color brilliant red 
with no purple, mauve or violet red in it. It gets far away from the mauve pink of 
most of our wild prairie roses. Propagates rapidly from sprouts. I brought this 
hardy, beautiful, double fragrant brilliant red rose from Russia in 1906, under the 
name Rosa gallica grandiflora . Described in S. D. Bulletin No. 240. The Alika roses 
made a gorgeous display in the State Rose Garden at Sioux Falls the past season. 
Alika roses on own roots, each $1.00. Sprouts from these plants will be true to name.

Mrs. Mina Lindell Rose - Introduced 1927. A beautiful, semi-double light pink 
wild rose found in Butte County, South Dakota. Described in S. D. Bulletin No» 224. 
Plants on own roots, each 50 cents._ 
Pink Semi Rose - A pink single fLower selection of the Semi rose from Semipala- 
tinsk, Siberia (Rosa laxa, Retz). See S. D. Bulletin No. 240. It was 8 pleasure to 
note at the Federal Horticulture Station at Cheyenne, Wyoming, last summer, that the 
Pink Semi rose is very resistant or immune to alkali. This variety should be good 
for hedges on such soil. Own-rooted plants - 4 for $1.00. 
Qacoma; A Delicious New Native Plum 
Fruit red, round, 1 3/8 inches across, of very best quality eaten fresh or as 
preserves. Skin thin, dissolves in cooking. The pit is rather small, round, flat¬ 
tened, with smooth rounded edges and no sharp points. The high quality of this pure 
native South Dakota plum should quickly make it a general favorite. The tree is 
perfectly hardy and a heavy bearer. 
The original tree of Oacoma was found a few miles west of Oacoma in Lyman County 
and was first sent out as South Dakota No. 12 in 1934. This is now named Oacoma. 
No matter how many hybrid plums are introduced, I believe that some of the northern 
pure native plums should be in every orchard to provide abundant pollination of the 
blossoms. Many people like the stronger flavor of the native plum, especially for 
preserves and jam, A few scions of Oacoma plum are available for spring, but must 
be ordered early for spring grafting. Price: 50 cents per foot. 
Taming the American Wild Crab 
It has been thought by many that it was impossible to improve the American wild 
crab, but I have been working with this problem many years, and have produced many 
hybrids. In later years the main attention is given to the Nevis wild crab (introduc¬ 
ed 1930), which is Pyrus Ioensis from the farthest northwestern point where it has 
been found native, Nevis, Minnesota, near the headwaters of the Mississippi River. 
As far as I can determine, I have done more than anyone else to improve this nctive 
American apple. The work has been a great inspiration and pleasure and from now the 
progress should be very rapid.
