QUALITY PLUMS 
A few years ago—yes, very few—no 
one dreamed that fruits like these 
could be grown except on the Pacific 
coast. But now, thanks to clever plant 
wizards of our State Fruit Breeding 
Farm, these tested and proven plums 
are being grown successfully through- 
out the entire middle west, and an'v 
of us can enjoy the pleasure of step- 
ping into our own yard or erchard to 
pick our fill of these luscious plums 
of such intriguing flavor — right cif 
the tree—bursting full of juice, vita- 
mins, and pep. 
Through the use of a proper assort- 
ment of varieties, such as we list, it is 
possible to have six, seven, yes even 
eight weeks of fresh plums from your 
own orchard—plums of such large size 
and tantalizing quality that no one 
can afford not to have them in their 
own orchards.

satisfactory crops. 
Whenever new plum trees are set out or established trees are not fruiting 
satisfactorily, be sure to plant a pollinizer plum near them.

them to prepare themselves to withstand 
the cold winter months ahead. Cultivation 
is usually stopped between July 15 and 31. 
At this time it is advisable to sow broad- 
cast a cover crop of oats, buckwheat or 
similar material. 
Pruning—All orchard trees, young or old, 
should be pruned annually. Space does not 
permit a detailed discussion of the subject, 
so suffice it to say that all dead, diseased 
and crowding wood should be removed 
admitting ample air and light.

POLLINIZERS (An Orchard Necessity) 
KAGA, TOKA, SURPRISE, and other varieties 
have proven themselves excellent Pollinizers 
for the big Minnesota plums. Some pollinizers 
work better on certain varieties than others, 
so we suggest that the selection of a pollinizer 
variety be left to us. Simply specify pollinizer 
on your order and we will select the best 
variety for your assortment. But don’t forget 
that proper pollinizers are essential to heaviest 
fruiting of the other plums.
