WILD PLUM. This hardy native is rapidly acquiring popu- 
larity for its value as a shelter belt tree as well as an 
ornamental and a producer of fruit. We offer very thrifty 
stock from native seed. Wonderful for sauce, jam and 
jelly. 3to4ft. Each, 40c; 10 for $3.75. See page 61 
for seedlings. 
* BOUNTY. An outstanding seedling of Assiniboine—very 
early, excellent as a dessert fruit and very satisfactory 
for canning. Bears very heavily every year, is large even 
meee when a heavy crop is set. An oval, red plum, with thin 
skin and yellow flesh. Each, 8 to 4 ft., 75c; 5 for $3.50. 
. RADISSON. Another extra hardy Minnesota plum. An early variety, fairly large, with good tree 
form. Fruit is a handsome red and the quality very high. 8 to 4 ft. Each, 70c; 5 for $3.25. 
SPLENDID. Of Minnesota origin, Mr. Gerbracht of Het- 
tinger, N. D., has found this plum to be perfectly hardy, 
a steady bearer and more adapted in every way to high 
plains conditions than any other large, quality plum he 
has tried. Fruit large, dark red to purple, with delicious 
yellow flesh. 3 to 4 ft., each, 75c; 5 for $3.50. 
GRENVILLE. This is one of the very largest plums ever 
grown in the North. It comes to us from Canada where 
it has proven to be a very good bearer and extremely 
hardy. In addition it is of 
very excellent quality. 3 
ey anual each, 80c; 5 for Radtexcn 
~ TECUMSEH. Professor Patterson of the University of Saskatchewan 
_ ._— Horticultural Dept. says, ‘It is a high class plum with considerable 
promise for the north.’’ One of Dr. Hansen’s productions. Very 
good at Mandan. 8 to 4 ft., each, 75c; 5 for $3.50. 
* RED JUNE X SANDCHERRY. This new hybrid from the Morden Sta- 
tion is much like Dura in fruit, but growth habit is more upright. 
Excellent quality, with green flesh. Kach, 70c; 5 for $3.25. 
, OPATA. A cross between Sandcherry and Gold Plum by Dr. N. RE. 
Grenville Hansen. The most widely used 
of the Hansen Hybrids. Head 
low, trim out old wood as it bears on the new wood. A round 
fruit 1 to 14% in. in diameter, with green flesh. A very nice 
flavor and wonderful for canning. Ripens in early August, 
8 to 4 ft. Price, each, 80c. 
WANETA. Apparently the hardiest of the extra large size plums. 
The largest of Dr. Hansen’s productions. A heavy bearer of 
very large, good quality fruit. Very drouth resistant. Ripens 
in mid-season. The best large plums for the Great Plains. 
3 to 4 ft. Each, 80c; 5 for $3.75. 
CREE. Another Hansen plum and one of the best. Has blood of 
the prunus nigra wild plum of the north and is very hardy and 
cold resistant. Fruit bright red, skin thin, flavor excellent, 
ripens in late August. 3 to 4 ft. Each, 70c; 5 for $3.25. 
DURA. The Dominion authorities have so named the fine P-4A- 
18 Sapa seedling in recognition of its long lasting qualities 
after itis ripe. A beautiful fruit; bears tremendous crops of large mottled plums with rich dark 
purple flesh and very small pits. A week or more later than Sapa. Fruit hangs to the tree for 
a long time, and shrivels without spoiling. 3 to4 ft., each, 80c; 5 for $3.80. 
» KAGA. Another Hansen plum and one of the most 
delicious we have ever tasted. Its unusual fine sweet 
flavor comes from the apricot plum blood which it 
contains. Not very large but tops in quality. 3 to 4 
ft. Each, 70c; 5 for $3.40. 
~ UNDERWOOD. Many of the Minnesota plums are not 
adapted to the Great Plains. Long trials of Under- 
wood, however, have sufficed to prove its hardiness. 
In flavor it equals the Japanese plums, size is inter- 
mediate, trees strong and thrifty and bear annually. 
Fruit is dark red and sweet, ripens in late August, 
and is an excellent keeper. 3 to 4 ft. Each, 70c; 5 
for $3.25. 3
