New Jumbo Plums 
P L The new Plum originated at the Minne' 
sota Fruit Breeding Farm about which 
there have been so many fine reports. 
Professor W. H. Alderman, Chief, Division of Horti' 
culture, says, “Ember is a late Plum of good size and 
has exceptionally fine dessert and canning qualities. It 
is yellow with attractive red blush. It has two valuable 
and outstanding characteristics; it hangs to the tree ten' 
aciously even at full maturity, and after picking will 
keep in good condition for two or three weeks.” 
This late Plum together with the earlier varieties 
mentioned make a splendid assortment for the home 
or for market. 
These New Jum¬ 
bo Plums are as 
large as California 
Plums. They are 
better quality be¬ 
cause they ripen on 
the tree. You can 
peel them as you 
would a Peach, 
Plant this Special 
Assortment!

*3 nated by Charles Haralson, formerly 
superintendent of the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding 
Farm. Fiebing was awarded the “Fiebing Prize,” for 
which it was named. Of this plum, Chas, Haralson 
wrote: “If I should plant an orchard of 100 trees, 75 
trees would be Fiebing Plum on account of its high 
quality, early bearing, early ripening, large size, attrac' 
tive color and hardy tree. The fruit hangs to the tree 
and is a good market plum. I think the plum is as near 
perfect as a plum can be; it is outstanding.” 
Supe 
riof best. This sensational 
new Plum was originated at the Minne' 
sota Fruit Breeding Farm and is considered the most 
perfect of all fine Plums introduced by the station. Fruit 
very large, firm flesh, beautiful red color, and delicious 
quality. You can peel them as you would a Peach. 
Underwood 
The Underwood is valuable be' 
cause of its large, early fruit. It is 
the earliest of the large Plums, attaining a size of 
1% inches in diameter. The tree is a vigorous grower, 
the limbs being strong and well distributed and able 
to carry great loads of fruit. Plums, attractive red with 
splendid quality, small pit, hang well to the tree, ripen' 
ing over a long period, August 1st to 15th.

POLLINIZER PLUMS 
Pollinizer Plums are essential for success in rais' 
ing Plums. Be sure to include some Kaga Apricot' 
Plums or Surprise Plums in every group of Jumbo 
Plums. If you now have a group of Plums not fruit' 
ing well, you should add some Kaga to the group 
this spring. 
Kaga and Surprise, described below, have proven 
to be the best pollinizers and, in addition, are excel' 
lent Plums themselves. 
(Apricot'Plum). In the first place it is 
IVQ0Q one of the most positive pollinizers for 
the Jumbo Plums or for common Plums. Besides, it 
has a delicious and distinct quality unsurpassed by 
any other Plum. Kaga is especially fine for canning 
or for Plum jam; in fact, is conceded to be at the 
top of the list for this purpose. Commercial growers 
are receiving repeat orders for “the Apricot-Plum.” 
Surprise 
A sweet juicy plum, excellent to eat 
out of hand. Surprise is also an ef' 
ficent pollinizer for Jumbo Plums or for any com' 
mon Plums. 
red'fleshed Plum originated by the 
ncnnCM ■■ J^nnesota Fruit Farm. Introduced 
a few years ago, but not widely planted at that time. 
However, its heavy cropping and splendid dark red 
flesh are creating demand for it, especially for preserves.
