PIPESTONE xxx 
This delicious 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 “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 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 par- 
~ | hae ticularly pleasing feature is that it is 
, ‘ _ excellent for canning. Stock limited 
y : oe this year. Price, page 29-D. 

SUPERIOR xxx 
One of the largest and very best of 
the jumbo plums originated by the 
; Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm. 
The tree bears early and is a regular 
J and a heavy cropper. The fruit is very 
"large, firm fleshed, beautiful red color 
oo and delicious quality to eat out of hand. 
ean Superior is one of the better plums for 
Superior home or for market. Prices, page 29-D.

UNDERWOOD xxx! 
One of the earliest jumbo 
plums, ripening August Ist to 
15th. Very high quality to eat 
out of hand—not so good to can. 

Pollenizer 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 
Kaga and South Dakota No. 27, described below, have 
proven to be the best pollinizers and in addition are excellent 
SOUTH DAKOTA No. 27 
linizers 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 




Redcoat > 
OY REDCOATK«x 
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 
29-D. ; 


EMBER xxx 
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 out- 
standing 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 mentioned, make a 
splendid assortment for the home 
or for market. Prices, page 29-D. 
This plum is proving out 
to be one of the best pol- 













quality either eaten out of hand or when canned. 
Be sure to include South Dakota No. 27 in your 
planting. Prices, page 29-D. 
KAGA (Apricot-Plum.) 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 conceded to 
be at the top of the list for this purpose. Com- 
mercial growers are receiving repeat orders for 
“the apricot-plum.’’ Prices, page 29-D.
