EMBER ke tok 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.” 
This late Plum, together with the earlier varieties mentioned, make 
a splendid assortment for the home or for market. Prices, page 33-F.

PLUM xk A ted fleshed 
Plum. Introduced

planted at that time. However, it is # Le 4 
coming into favor on account of its : - ae Ember 
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.

PIPESTONE oe 
(MINNESOTA No. 218.) This delicious 
new Plum is now formally christened Pipe- 
stone. It has very definitely ‘“‘won its spurs” 
and is a welcome addition to our list of new 
Plums. 





































Prof. Alderman considers it very much superior 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 introducing it.” Of this new Plum he says: “It is a very large pro- 
ductive early red Plum of high quality. It begins 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, page 33-E. 
REDCOAT Kk ok NS eae No. 17.) This is another Plum that 
as passed the test and is declared worthy of a name, 
Redcoat, and a place among the list of choice Plums. The trees are highly 
productive, the fruit is medium sized, prune shaped, all-red with a perfectly 
free stone. It will become 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, page 33-E.
