PLUMS 
FOR QUICK CROPS 
SURE PROFITS 
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 pro- 
pagated these varieties which have shown 
exceptional qualities. We graft our Plums 
and Cherries on Prunus Americana—our 
Native hardy roots. This insures you hardy 
trees that will stand up under extreme 
conditions. We have a good supply of 
Plums and Cherries this year and offer 
them at attractive prices. 
ELLIOT—A large, dark red plum, firm flesh. 
Freestone. Tree a heavy yielder and hardy. 
EMBER—One of the more recent plums intro- 
duced by the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding 
Farm. Ember is a large late plum and has 
exceptionally fine dessert and canning qualities. 
It is yellow with attractive red blush. Two 
outstanding and valuable features are that the 
fruit hangs to the trees, even after thoroughly 
ripening, 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 
varieties 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. 
HENNEPIN—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.

UNDERWOOD 
KAHINTA—A large, firm, dark red plum with 
yellow flesh. Freestone. High quality. 
LA CRESCENT—A very high quality, yellow 
plum. Flesh is very tender, and is a delicious 
plum for eating fresh or canning. We heartily 
recommend La Crescent for the home orchard 
but the flesh and skin are too tender to stand 
handling and extensive hauling to market. 
MONITOR—A late mid-season variety, a 
vigorous well shaped tree, producing large, dark 
red, firm fleshed fruit of high quality. Heavy 
annual bearer. 
RED WING—One of the largest plums, ripens 
mid-season, with beautiful red, freestone fruit 
of high quality. 
SUPERIOR—This sensational new plum was 
originated by the Minnesota State Fruit 
Breeding Farm, and after being tested thor- 
oughly, was very appropriately named SUPER- 
IOR. Its very name is a challenge, and it is 
considered by many to be our best plum in its 
season. Superior ripens mid-season, fruit is large, 
beautiful red, firm flesh, and of exceptional 
quality. You can peel it as you would a peach. 
We do not hesitate in recommending Superior 
for an early red plum. Freestone. 
TERRY—One of the old standard varieties. 
Fruit is large, with a small pit. Dark red. 
Ripens mid-season. 
TONKA—An extremely productive variety 
producing large, round, red fruit of firm flesh 
and good quality. Freestone. 
WANETA—“Prof. Hansen’s Masterpiece.” 
Fruit is immense in size, delicious quality, 
beautiful red color, small pit. Tree bears very 
heavy and young. At four years it is not uncom- 
mon for a Waneta to produce 4 bushels of plums. 
Waneta is undoubtedly the most popular 
plum introduced by Prof. Hansen from. 
Brookings, South Dakota.
