JUMBO PLUMSfromANDREWS 
HENNEPIN BLUE PLUM ★★★ p lu " d Vnt^ 
duced a few years ago, but was not widely planted at that time. How' 
ever, it is coming into favor on account of its heavy cropping and the 
splendid dark red flesh. The fruit is especially prized for preserves. 
It has color and character not found in any of the other Plums. 
Prices on page 29-F. 
SUPERIOR ★★★ 
One of the very largest and very 
best of the Jumbo Plums originated 
by the Minnesota State Fruit Breed' 
ing Farm. The tree bears early and 
is a regular and a heavy cropper. 
The fruit is very large, firm fleshed, 
beautiful red color and delicious 
quality to eat out of hand. Superior 
is one of the better Plums for home 
or for market. Prices on page 29-G.

Starred Varieties (***) Originated by 
Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm 
MINNESOTA No. 21 &★★★ 
This new plum will be named by the Minnesota 
Fruit Farm next year when more planting stock is 
available. Prof. Alderman considers it very much su' 
perior to most of the plums now in cultivation. 
As he has said, “unless a new variety is superior to 
others now in circulation, there is no object in intro' 
ducing it.” Of this new Plum he says: “It is a very 
large, productive, early red Plum of high quality. It be' 
gins to ripen at the end of the first week of August. 
With the possible exception of Superior, it is one of 
the largest Hybrid Plums.” A particularly pleasing 
feature is that it is excellent for canning. Stock limited 
this year. Prices on page 29-F. 
MINNESOTA No. 17 ★★★ ^ 
named and introduced next year if sufficient planting stock 
is available. However, we have a few trees to offer this year 
which we offer while they last. 
The trees are highly productive, the fruit is medium sized, 
prune shaped, all red, with a perfectly free stone. It will be' 
come popular on account of the free stone and is expected 
to take the place of Red Wing, to which it is superior in many 
ways. Prices on page 29-F. 
This late Plum, together with the earlier varieties mentioned, make 
a splendid assortment for the home 
or for market. Prices on page 29-G.

No. 218 
FIEBING 
A very large, high quality Plum originated 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. Harab 
son 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, attractive 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.” Prices on page 29-G. 
Minnesota 
No. 17 
EMBER 
Without doubt the best late Plum. It is well 
described by Prof. W. H. Alderman, Chief, 
Division of Horticulture, U. of M., who writes: “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 tenaciously even 
at full maturity, and after picking will keep in good condition for two 
or three weeks.”
