MINNESOTA’S BEST 
PLUMS 
AT POPULAR PRICES 
GURNEY’S GOLD PLUM— A Luther Bur¬ 
bank introduction and the finest yellow plum 
ever grown. The fruit is very large, clear, semi¬ 
transparent, golden-yellow becoming gradually 
overspread with bright carmine blush when 
fully ripe. A healthy and hardy tree that suc¬ 
ceeds wonderfully even in rather dry locations. 
In size, quality, color, and productiveness, 
Gurney’s Gold Plum leads in its class. Grow 
Gold Plum this year. 
EMBER —Named because of its glowing color 
like a glowing ember in the dark green foliage. 
It’s beautiful, but its beauty goes lots farther 
than “skin deep.” It’s a top-notcher for size and 
quality. For central and southern Minnesota 
(and like Climates) Ember is an excellent eating 
or canning plum. The fruit is yellow blushed 
with glowing red. Tree is vigorous and produc¬ 
tive. Flesh rich yellow, tender, juicy, sweet and 
pleasant. Ripens from early to Mid-September. 
Be sure to have Ember Plums. Supply limited. 
Prices: 10c per tree higher than regular 
plum prices. 
34GOLDENROD—Goldenrod is one of the very 
few clear yellow plums produced among thou¬ 
sands 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 quality after harvest. The 
tree is unusually vigorous and is hardy in all but 
the northernmost sections of Minnesota. 
HENNEPIN—A dark reddish-purple plum 
covered with a dense bloom giving it distinctive 
and attractive appearance. It is good eaten 
fresh and especially good for canning and pre¬ 
serving because of its rich purplish-red flesh. 
Hennepin bears a heavy load of richly colored 
fruit in early August. For a reliable, hardy 
cropper, plant this Minnesota Plum—Hennepin. 
*GOLDEN LA CRESCENT—For delicate col¬ 
oring and delicious flavor La Crescent leads all 
other plums. It is a clear yellow, faintly blushed, 
and lightly covered with a thin white bloom. It 
is unexcelled either to eat out of hand or for 
sauce. The tree is vigorous, tall, and spreading, 
and makes a handsome appearance. It is hardy 
in all but the most northern sections of Minne¬ 
sota. The variety is especially recommended for 
home orchards. 
♦MONITOR —A new annual heavy bearing 
variety. Fruit is large. Color, a dullish bronze- 
red; yellow flesh, tender, very juicy but firm, 
sweet. One of the best quality plums. Very 
hardy. Late midseason bearer. 
RED WING —Here is an unusually large Red 
Plum from Minnesota. The flesh is rich, yellow, 
and firm. It is juicy and sweet. The skin is eas¬ 
ily removed and the pit so free that Red Wing 
can be sliced like a peach. As a dessert or can¬ 
ning plum you will look a long time to find a better 
fruit than Red Wing. Hardy and vigorous. 
ABUNDANCE —One of the Best Japanese 
Plums. It is well named for it produces an * 
abundance of rich, bright cherry-red, highly 
perfumed, juicy, tender fruit of excellent 
quality. The tree is a vigorous grower. It bears 
quite young, and is hardy in the southern sec¬ 
tions of the Middle Northwest. Plant Abun¬ 
dance for quality. Size, and Abundance.

^SUPERIOR PLUM—The 1933 sensation of 
the plum world. 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—One of the hardiest and 
most vigorous growers of all the Minnesota 
Hybrids. The fruit ripens early, making it ex¬ 
ceptionally well adapted to northern latitudes. 
It has been grown successfully in several points 
of North Dakota and at Winnipeg in Manitoba. 
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 in color; a 
good shipper. 
SURPRISE PLUM—Extra large, red, high 
quality. Good for market. Makes an unusually 
large tree. Very productive.

*FIEBING PRIZE 
This delicious plum was given the high award of the Fiebing Prize at the Minne¬ 
sota State Fair in 1930. Since that time its popularity has grown immensely. It is a 
big red plum. 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.)
