PIPESTONE kx* Starred Varieties (***) 
(MINNESOTA No. 218.) This deli- 
cious new Plum is now formally christened 
Pipestone. 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 “Sunless 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 
productive 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. 
Originated by Minnesota 
Fruit Breeding Farm 

REDCOAT oko (MINNESOTA No. 17.) This is another Plum 
that has 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. 
Without doubt the best late Plum. It is well described by 
EMBER kx x 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 2 or 3 weeks.” 
This late Plum, together with the earlier varieties men- 
tioned, make a splendid assortment for the home or for 
market. Prices, page 33-F.

PLUM POLLINIZERS 
Pollinizer Plums are essential for success in raising Plums. Be sure to include 
some Kaga Apricot-Plums or South Dakota No. 27 Plums in every group of 
Jumbo Plums. If you now have a group of Plums not fruiting well, you should 
add some Kaga to the group this spring. 
Kaga and South Dakota No. 27, described below, have proven to be the best 
pollinizers and in addition are excellent Plums themselves. 
SOUTH DAKOTA No. 27 This plum is proving out to be one 
of the best pollinizers for the big 
hybrid plums above. This South Dakota No. 27 is a good plum in its own 
right, but is doubly valuable because of its ability to make other plums bear. 
It’s a large red and yellow plum of very high quality either eaten out of hand 
or when canned. Be sure to include South Dakota No. 27 
in your planting. Prices, page 33-E. 
KAGA (Apricot-Plum.) In the first place it is one of 
the most positive pollinizers for the Jumbo 
Plums or for common Plums. Besides, it has a delicious and 
distinct quality unsurpassed by any other Plum. Kaga is 
especially fine for canning or for Plum jam; in fact, is con’ 
ceded to be at the top of the list for this purpose. Com- 
mercial growers are receiving repeat orders for “the 
Apricot-Plum.” Prices, page 33-F.
