PLUMS 
Sapa Plum 
Plums are especially good for eating 
fresh, for jellies and preserves, and are 
unexcelled for canning. Some varieties 
will thrive wherever apples or peaches 
can be grown. Most of them, especially 
the northern Hansen types, bear the 
third or fourth year. One of the best 
fruit trees for the home garden, and very 
profitable in the commercial orchard.

OPATA—One-year-old trees set fruit 
buds freely. Our largest size trees 
will bear the year following trans¬ 
planting. This variety is a cross be¬ 
tween Sand Cherry and the Gold 
Plum, for which $3,000 was paid when 
first introduced. The tree resembles 
the plum in its habit of growth. The 
fruit is one inch or more in diameter; 
small pit. It is a dark purplish-red, 
with blue bloom. 
SAPA—Medium to large size, purple 
plum with purple flesh full of rich 
juice of fine flavor, ripening a few 
days after Opata. Very fine for can¬ 
ning. Bears next year after planting 
and bears regular heavy crops and 
does well everywhere, North, South, 
East, West. 
WANCTA—A northern variety. The 
fruit is bright red, measuring almost 
two inches in diameter. Recommended 
for dry climate and where the frost is 
a habitual visitor. Very hardy and an 
exceedingly heavy bearer, as it never 
misses. 
ABUNDANCE—The tree is small, but 
hangs loaded down with fruit. The 
fruit should be thinned to allow room 
for development. It is one of the hardi¬ 
est and best of the Japanese varieties. 
The fruit is large, oval and in color 
amber, changing to cherry. The quality 
is very good. 
BURBANK—The Burbank is a later and 
somewhat more vigorous variety than 
the Abundance. It is a dark red, round¬ 
ish Japanese plum and of good quality. 
The flesh is a deep yellow, firm, very 
juicy and sweet. It is considered to 
be the hardiest and most prolific of 
the Japanese varieties. 
COMPASS—This variety will probably 
bear more fruit in a shorter time than 
any other fruit tree. Commences bear¬ 
ing next year after planting and bears 
heavily every year. The red fruit is 
juicy and makes fine sauce. Grows 
everywhere, very hardy. 
Compass Cherry-Plum trees bear 
extremely early, always, if the season 
is at all favorable the year after 
planting. Compass Cherry-Plum is an 
annual bearer and very hardy. It is 
indeed an extraordinary Cherry-Plum 
of which too much praise cannot be 
given. 
We grow our stock and know its 
merits when we catalog it.
