NEW PLUMS 
During the past few years so much improvement has been made in plums 
that we have discarded all the old varieties, these new Jumbo varieties 
exceeding them in size, hardiness, fruiting ability and flavor. All the 
plums we offer are hardy anywhere in the United States.

is yellow with a rich red blush. 
SUPERIOR (Minnesota No. 101)— A new, very large, red variety origi¬

of Minnesota origin. The tree is a vigorous grower and a heavy bear¬ 
er. Freestone fruit.

bright red in color, clings well to the tree. Excellent keeper. Medium 
size fruit. Very hardy. 
CHERRY PLUMS 
HYBRID CHERRY PLUMS —A cross between the cherry and the plum, 
giving us a fruit that has the hardiness of the plum, fruit having all 
the characteristics of a large oversized sweet cherry. They form a 
rather small tree and bear unbelievably heavy. Though the fruit is 
of very good quality, it is for some peculiar reason, not molested by 
birds. Fruit is superior to plums or cherries for canning. Be sure to 
use one Compass Cherry for every 8 or 10 as a pollinizer.

tree of more compact growth. Fruit somewhat sweeter.

even after ripening. Ripens later than above varieties.

hardy and a sure bearer even in severe drouth. They are indispensable
