8 THE BOUGHEN NURSERIES 
MAMMOTH-—Introduced by the late A. P. Stevenson of Morden. Test 
winters affect this a little. Fruit early, large, sweet, beautiful and prolific. 
$1.25 each, assorted. Good eating plum. 
MORDEL—Tall growing tree, bearing purplish large plums of raspberry 
or some attractive flavor. Red. Good. $1.50 each. 
MINA—A seedling of Pembina, and better to preserve. Heavy yielding, 
very red, large fruit. Tree sprawls somewhat. $1.50 each. 
PEMBINA—Dr. Hansen’s venture, crossing California Plums with natives 
of Manitoba. Probably our finest looking red plum, of large size. Bears 
at 4 years, and usually heavily thereafter. Great for selling or eating as 
it has the California ‘‘Red June’’ flavor. Plant lots of these. $1.50 each. 
OJIBWA-+A somewhat similar hybrid of Manitoba plum. Great yielder 
of red plums. Coloring red long before ripe. Extra good preserving. 
Early bearer of good size fruits. Rather late and very desirable. $1.25 
CREE—Good size and red. The earliest and hardiest of these three 
Hansen’s. That is not to say that the others are tender here, but test 
years show up the difference. $1.25. 
HYBRID CHERRY PLUMS 
CONVOY CHERRY—First listing of 
my new selection from a line of Hybrid 
Cherry seedlings. First, because of its 
strong upright tree and leaves which 
looked like quality. The hybrid cher- 
ries all lack a good tree form, but this 
one is perfect. A tall V. The fruit is 
shining red, good to eat and good size, 
about an inch and a quarter long. Good 
for preserving; skin melting. Very 
prolific, blooms to the tips here every 
spring. Beautiful ornamental, taking 
little space in a crowded garden. Regis- 
tered in Ottawa, and no one may sell it, 
at least, under the name ‘‘Convoy.”’ 
Sold only to those who promise not to 
sell or part with any part of the tree. 
Few trees, $2.00 each. Absolutely 
Close-Up of Convoy Cherry hardy in 1943. See front cover. 
No Convoy sold to customers in U.S.A., owing to being on trial with the 
largest nursery there for propagating rights. It is already approved as to 
fruit, but the tree needs testing for suitability in the South. 
OPATA—Largest of the Sandcherry hybrids. Good quality; fairly hardy: 
sweet, firm with small pit. Good to eat, even when half ripe. Should be 
grown in bush form. Plum blue with green flesh. $1.25 each.
