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 
varieties which have shown exceptional 
qualities. 
We graft our Plums and Cherries on Prunus 
Americana—our native hardy roots. This in¬ 
sures 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. 
ELLIOTT— A large, dark, red plum, firm flesh. 
Freestone. Tree a heavy yielder and hardy. 
EMBER —One of the more recent plums intro¬ 
duced by the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding 
Farm. Ember is a large late plum and has ex¬ 
ceptionally fine dessert and canning qualities. It 
is yellow with attractive red blush. Two out¬ 
standing and valuable features are that the fruit 
hangs to the trees, even after thoroughly ripen¬ 
ing, 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 varieties 
to extend the season. 
FIEBING PRIZE —One of our leading plums 
that is rapidly gaining popularity. Fruit is very 
large, firm, and of excellent canning quality. 
Dark red and ripens mid-season to late. Tree is a 
vigorous grower and yields heavily. 
Monitor Plum 
MONITOR —A late mid-season variety, a vig¬ 
orous well shaped tree, producing large, dark red, 
firm fleshed fruit of high quality. Heavy annual 
bearer. 
RED WING —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 Minnesota State Fruit Breed¬ 
ing Farm, and after being tested thoroughly, was 
very appropriately named SUPERIOR. Its very 
name is a challenge, and it is considered by many 
to be our best plum in its season. Superior ripens 
mid-season, fruit is large, beautiful red, firm 
flesh, and of exceptional quality. You can peel it 
as you would a peach. We do not hesitate in 
recommending Superior for an early red plum. 
Freestone. 
HENNEPIN —A dark reddish-purple plum cov¬ 
ered with a dense bloom giving it a distinct and 
attractive appearance. Good eating fresh, es¬ 
pecially good for canning and preserving because 
of its rich purplish-red flesh. Hennepin is a heavy 
yielder. Ripens early August. 
KAHINTA— A large film dark red plum with 
yellow flesh. Freestone. High quality. 
LaCRESCENT— A very high quality, yellow 
plum. Flesh is very tender, and is a delicious 
plum for eating fresh or canning. We heartily 
recommend La Crescent for the home orchard 
but the flesh and skin are too tender to stand 
handling and extensive hauling to market. 
TERRY —One of the old standard varieties. 
Fruit is large, with a small pit. Dark red. Ripens 
mid-season. 
TONKA —An extremely productive variety pro¬ 
ducing large, round, red fruit of firm flesh and 
good quality. Freestone. 
UNDERWOOD —Undoubtedly the most widely 
planted of the Minnesota introductions. Under¬ 
wood is valuable because of its large early fruit 
and annual bearing. Fruit is large, bright red and 
semi-freestone. A delicious fruit for eating fresh 
and for canning. The tree is a vigorous grower 
and one of the hardiest. The fruit ripens early 
making it exceptionally well adapted to Northern 
parts of Minnesota and North Dakota.
