i.uwc;.liu Jo,, Prof. Hansen states: 
■‘*t. full sister to the Waneta, not quite as 
large as Waneta. fruit more round, an 
immense bearer. A model tree, branching 
better than Waneta." Tn my trial orchard 
it has done remarkably well, fruit of very 
good quality for raw eating and for 
canning.

Sonderegger's Japanese 
Plum above picture shows you the 
* shape and the good size of these 
Plums. It is not only the finest of all 
Japanese Plums I have ever found, for¬ 
tunately it is also the hardiest of this 
strain. I recommend it for Nebraska and 
Iowa, the states south of here, the Great 
Lakes region and the Eastern States. In 
fact, most anywhere except the extreme 
North it will give best satisfaction. 
Large, red with small pit, flesh yellow, 
excellent flavor. Very good table and 
canning plum. Will come into bearing al¬ 
most as young as the Hansen Plums, and 
bears just as heavy. Be sure to include 
this plum In your planting. No extra 
cost. 
Burbank, Japanese 
lilac bloom, yellow flesh, quite firm, sweet 
and meaty. Hardy as far north as the 
southern half of Nebraska. A good free¬ 
stone plum. Ripens here in August. 
Omaha Native m, 
sweet, well flavored. The tree is excep¬ 
tionally hardy; will do well even in the 
extreme North. Omaha is a sure and 
heavy bearer. 
Golden Rod# Native hi'rdy^y ei- 
low plum., sweet and tender with very 
good flavor. Bears young and freely. 
Wrrn*a*rT largest of 
VV oneia a 11 Hansen 
Plums, and one of the larg¬ 
est in existence. Red with 
blue bloom; very good qual¬ 
ity. The tree is extra hardy; 
you can grow this plum any¬ 
where; it bears very young, 
and most freely. 
HrrrKatrr Bright red, 
nuilsKU heavy blue 
bloom, firm flesh, which' has 
a very pleasing Apricot fla¬ 
vor. Being a Hansen Plum it is very 
hardy; bears young and heavy. 
Srmrr Glossy dark purple, flesh is of 
the same color, and is of excel¬ 
lent quality. Bears young and very heavy. 
The earliest of the Hansen 
Plums. Dark purplish red with 
green flesh, and very pleasant flavor. 
Ripens end of July. On top of this page, 
note the branch taken from Opata, a sam¬ 
ple of the bearing ability of Hansen 
Plums, such as Opata, Sapa, Hanska, etc. 
Tftlrrrtrr ^ number of years I have 
1VJK.UIU not grown this tree; have taken 
it up again on request of many of my 
customers who desire to plant more of 
this variety. Fruit good size, dark red, 
slightly mottled with orange dots, and 
covered with light lilac bloom. Flesh rich 
orange red, very firm, excellent flavor, 
almost freestone. Ripens here end of 
July. Very hardy. 
Monitor, Minnesota Plum 
Should be in every planting. Much dif¬ 
ferent from any other plum, being of 
medium size, dark purple with sweet 
flesh of dark purple color and small pit. 
Very good quality; very desirable for can¬ 
ning. Hardy anywhere. 
Red Wing, Minnesota Plum 
Yellow, overlaid with red; freestone; 
sweet, and of good quality. For raw 
eating or prepared like peaches with 
cream and sugar. An abundant bearer, 
and perfectly hardy. 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
In planting, proceed as follows: Place the tree or shrub In the hole, with all roots spread out in their natural way. Any broken 
root-branches are cut off smooth with a sharp knife. The thing to watch now is the proper depth. A fruit tree shows plainly 
Just above the root where it was budded or grafted. This spot should be practically level with the ground surface after plant¬ 
ing. A shade tree or a shrub is planted so deep that it stands (depending on the size of the stock you are planting) from 1 to 3 
inches deeper than grown before in the nursery. Some planters lay a board across the hole to show the ground level, to assure 
of getting the trees In just at the right depth. (Continued on next page.)
