JUMBO PLUMS 
BIG AS CALIFORNIA PLUMS 
Taste Better 
The choice list of Jumbo Plums described below are considered the cream 
of the list. Our recommendation is to plant the full assortment as each one has a 
different season—each a different flavor. You will find them all excellent. A 
Pollinizer Plum should be included in every group. 
Superior — One of the very best. This 
sensational new Plum was originated at 
the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm and 
is considered the most perfect Plum 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 
because of its large, early fruit and annual 
bearing. 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 distribut¬ 
ed and able to carry great loads of fruit. 
Plums, attractive red with splendid quali¬ 
ty, small pit hang well to the tree, ripen¬ 
ing over a long period, August 1st to 
15th, enabling three pickings to be made. 
The Underwood is an annual bearer. 
These features appeal alike to the com¬ 
mercial grower and to the home orchard- 
ist. 
Monitor — Monitor is one of the market 
Plums we have been looking for here in 
the Northwest. It has high quality, firm 
flesh and a large size—some being more 
than 1^ inches in diameter. It is very 
productive and a regular bearer. Season, 
late August. 
Ember — The new Plum originated at 
the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm about 
which there have been so many fine re¬ 
ports. Prof. W. H. Alderman, Chief Di¬ 
vision of Horticulture, says, “Ember is a 
late Plum of good size and has excep¬ 
tionally fine dessert and canning qualities. 
It is yellow with attractive red blush. It 
has two valuable and outstanding charac¬ 
teristics; it hangs to the tree tenaciously 
even at full maturity, and after picking 
will keep in good condition for two or 
three weeks.” 
POLLINIZER PLUMS 
Pollinizer Plums are essential for suc¬ 
cess in raising Plums. Be sure to include 
some Surprise Plums in every group 
of Jumbo Plums. If you now have a 
group of Plums not fruiting well, you 
should add some Surprise Plums to the 
group this spring.
