HARDY PLUMS 
Amazing improvements have been made in plums in the 
past few years, thanks largely to the experimentors in Min- 
nesota and South Dakota. The newer varieties yield heavily, 
a crop almost el Sal and the fruit has been greatly im- 
proved in flavor and texture. We consider Plums the most 
satisfactory fruit for the average Western yard. All our 
trees are budded on native plum. 
Our selection of the best is as follows: 
GERMAN PRUNE. A medium sized blue plum, fine for eat- 
ing or canning. 

~ SUPERIOR PLUMS 
LA CRESCENT. This is a large sweet yellow plum of fine 
quality that ripens early in September. Entirely hardy. 
MONITOR. Medium size with small pit. The skin is purple 
and the flesh is sweet and firm. A very fine quality plum, 
especially for canning. 
SUPERIOR. This large red plum is one of the newest and 
best. Ripens early in September and fruits heavily almost 
every year. 
UNDERWOOD. Valuable because it is early and large. The 
color is red and the plants seem to be entirely hardy. 
Dr. Hansen’s Hybrid Cherries have attracted. much atten- 
tion in Minnesota and other Northern states. These large 
bushes or low trees, sometimes called Cherry-Plums, bear 
great quantities of medium sized fruit early in September.

Two Outstanding Fruit (ree Novelties 
MULTIPLE FRUIT TREES AND ESPALIER FRUITS

feature of much importance. These trees are offered Express Collect.
