The tree is a very vigorous and strong grower, making 
a sturdy, upright tree. It is an early and persistent bearer 
of enormous crops of delicious large plums. 
World Famous 
The plums described below are the four Hansen Plums 
which have without a doubt gained the most fame gener¬ 
ally and have been propagated the most extensively. 
Millions of them have been set out all over the northwest 
and many have gone to all parts of the world. And there 
is a good reason for all of this. Because they are the 
best all around plums, bearing when very young, hardi¬ 
est of all, and more sure to produce year after year than 
any other plums grown in the northwest.

over 10,000 seedlings. These large plums measure up to two

flesh.

Waneta's widespread popularity throughout the world 
shows that it is considered by many the finest and best of 
the Hansen Hybrid Plums and the champion of the northwest. At 
fruit exhibits, Waneta takes the prizes. 
HANSKA APRICOT PLUM. Hanska is the Sioux word for "tall." 
The name was given in allusion to its extraordinary rapid growth, 
as three-year-old trees have attained a height of twelve feet. It 
is a hybrid of the wild northwestern plum and the large, firm 
fleshed, fragrant apricot plum of China. In fruit the Hanska 
closely resembles its Chinese parent in form, color, fragrance, 
quality and firmness of flesh. The pit is very small. 
The fruit of this variety has been much admired for its color, 
which is a bright red with a blue bloom, firm yellow flesh and 
good quality. When cooked, the strong apricot flavor is brought 
out to perfection. 
SAPA CHERRY-PLUM. Sapa is the Sioux Indian word for 
"black," and alludes to the skin, flesh and the juice of this re¬ 
markable hybrid. The fruit has rich, dark purple-red skin, flesh 
and juice. The tree is bush cherry like in habit, forming fruit buds 
freely on one-year trees. The rich purple color of the skin is 
dulled at first by being overspread with a thin gray, which will 
disappear as soon as the fruit has ripened thoroughly. Sapa 
bears freely on one-year shoots and has attained much popularity. 
Sapa is early, large, productive, and very hardy; 
very good to eat fresh, and makes delightful 
preserves and jams. 
OPATA CHERRY-PLUM. The excellent quality 
of the Opata makes it worthy of wide popularity 
for table and culinary use. Opata is a plum 
tree in habit of vigorous growth and forms buds 
freely on one-year-old shoots. The foliage is 
large and glossy. The fruit is a dark purplish 
red with a blue bloom, the flesh being green 
and firm, flavor very pleasant, combining the 
sprightly acid of the Sand Cherry with the rich 
sweetness of the Gold Plum. It is excellent for 
eating out of hand. The thin skin can be eaten 
as it is entirely free from acerbity. Pit is very 
small, season very early.
