WANETA 
Biggest Red Hardy Hansen Variety 
Big, profitable crops from Waneta Plums. 
Prof. Hansen’s ‘“‘Masterpiece.’”’ Truly a de- 
licious plum. It is an old favorite, one of 
Professor Hansen’s most popular. The fruit 
is large and a gorgeous reddish-purple 
color. Waneta is of the finest quality. The 
flesh is tender, sweet and juicy. A sure 
bearer every year. One of the best of all 
market plums, plant at least an acre (130

- SUPERIOR 
One of the Best 
This big plum will surprise you by bear- 
ing loads of fruit the first year after you 
plant the tree. Great clusters of big yel- 
lowish fruits appear; they gradually turn 
pink, then red. You can peel it like a 
peach, and, like a peach, you'll like it. It 
really is a “Peach of a Plum.” Hardy. 

*t OPATA 
The Early Bearing Plum 
The earliest of the Hansen Hybrids, 
Opata bears its ropes of fruit and rip- 
ens them in mid-July. A juicy, tangy 
plum of medium size. Extra hardy and 
bears in one year after planting. 
SAPA— 
The Rich Black Sweet One 
This plum is black when 
ripe. Black outside and 
clear to the pit. It has a 
sweet flavor you can’t, for- 
get and bears immense 
quantities annually. Ripe 
the latter part of July. 
Can’t be beat in the hardy 
group. Bears the first year 
after planting. Best of all, 
it’s extremely hardy.

A Word About 
Hansen’s Hardy 
Plams 
Prof. N. E. Hansen of the South Dakota 
State College has spent a lifetime develop- 
ing hardy plants for the north. Working 
with hardy fruits and plants he gathered 
in the cold wastes of Siberia and Russia, he 
aove epee and crossed them with the large- 
frui American trees over a period of sev- 
eral decades until he produced heavy bear- 
ing trees of good quality fruit HARDY 
ENOUGH TO BE PLANTED ANYWHERE 
IN THE NORTH. 
Like Burbank worked on fruits for the 
south, Hansen is the Burbank of the 
NORTH developing Hardy fruits of good 
quality. In fact, he is claimed to be the 
greatest living plant breeder. 
The hardy hybrid plums on this page are 

_just. one sample of the results of his years 
of intensive breeding work. These are hy- 
brids he has made, and are some of the 
finest HARDY plums in the country. No 
one in the north (or south for that matter) 
can go wrong planting these wonderful hy- 
brid plums. 

KAHINTA 
Big Juiey Flavored 
A big Red Hansen Hardy Plum, juicy 
yet firm. A “sister” to Waneta, Kahinta 
compares favorably with that Master- 
piece in size, quality and bearing ability. 
VERY HARDY. Like all famous Han- 
sen varieties bears very young.
