PIPESTONE xxx 
This delicious new plum is now for- 
| mally christened Pipestone. It has very 
definitely ““won its spurs” and is a wel- 
come 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 pos- 
sible exception of Superior, it is one of 
the largest hybrid plums.” A particu- 
larly pleasing feature is that it is excel- 
lent for canning. Stock limited this year. 
SUPERIOR kx 
One of the largest and very best of 
the jumbo plums originated by the Min- 
nesota State Fruit Breeding Farm. The 
tree bears early and is a regular and a 
heavy cropper. The fruit is very large, 
firm fleshed, beautiful red color and de- 
licious quality to eat out of hand. Supe- 
rior is one of the better plums for home 
or for market. 
UNDERWOOD xxx 
One of the earliest 
. jumbo plums, ripening 
August lst to 15th. Very 
high quality to eat out of 
hand—not so good to can. 
It should be planted near 
pollinizer plums. 
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 
4 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.

HOW TO SAVE MONEY 
This past season apples cost at the 
grocers up to 12!/4c a pound, the 
equivalent of $5.25 per bushel. Plums 
up to 35c per dozen, the equivalent 
of over $15.00 per bushel. 
What you would pay for apples or 
plums in a season at the grocers will 
buy a nice planting of the improved 
fruit trees. Planted in your garden 
or orchard they will bear loads of 
delicious fruit for years and years at 
almost no cost. 

EMBER xxx 
Without doubt the best late plum. 
It is well described by Prof. W. H. Al- 
derman, 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 outstanding character- 
istics; 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 ear- 
lier varieties mentioned, make a splendid 
assortment for the home or for market.
