The following varieties of plums are far 
superior to the older varieties, and we 
feel perfectly safe in recommending 
them. They are very fast growing and 
usually come into bearing the second 
year after setting. They are perfectly 
hardy in our climate and we have selected 
and propagated the following varieties 
which have shown exceptional qualities. 
We graft our Plums and Cherries on 
Prunus Americana—our native hardy 
Tonka Plum 
roots. This insures you hardy trees that 
will stand up under extreme conditions. 
ELLIOTT —A large, dark red plum, firm flesh. 
Freestone. Tree a heavy yielder and hardy. 
We have a good supply of Plums and 
Cherries this year and offer them at 
attractive Prices. 
EMBER —One of the more recent plums intro¬ 
duced by the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding 
Farm. Ember is a large late plum and has ex¬ 
ceptionally fine dessert and canning qualities. It 
is yellow with attractive red blush. Two out¬ 
standing and valuable features are that the fruit 
hangs to the trees, even after thoroughly ripen¬ 
ing, and after picking will keep well for two or 
three weeks. This is a late plum and should be 
planted along with some of the earlier va¬ 
rieties to extend the season. 
FIEBING PRIZE — One of our leading 
plums that is rapidly gaining popularity. 
Fruit is very large, firm, and of excellent 
canning quality. Dark red and ripens mid¬ 
season to late. Tree is a vigorous grower 
and yields heavily. 
H EN N EPIN —A dark reddish-purple plum 
covered with a dense bloom giving it a 
distinct and attractive appearance. Good 
eating fresh, especially good for canning 
and preserving because of its rich purplish- 
red flesh. Hennepin is a heavy yielder. 
Ripens early August. 
KAHINTA —A large firm dark red plum 
with yellow flesh. Freestone. High quality. 
LaC RESCENT —A very high quality, 
yellow plum. Flesh is very tender, and is a 
delicious plum for eating fresh or canning. 
We heartily recommend LaCrescent for 
the home orchard but the flesh and skin 
are too tender to stand handling and ex¬ 
tensive hauling to market.
