Hardy Quality Varieties for the Northern Plains 
Pollination 
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 
seedlings. 





Very heavy sales last spring and shortage of skilled help has led to an extreme shortage of 
fruit trees and particularly plums and cherries. Our list is short and no other varieties will be 
available till the fall of 1945. 
OPATA. A cross between sandcherry and Gold Pium by Dr. 
N. E. 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 1% in. in diameter, with green flesh. A 
very nice flavor and wonderful for canning. Ripens in early 
August. 3te4ft. Price, each, $1.00; 5 for $4.50. 
UNDERWOOD. Many of the | 
Minnesota plums are not 
adapted to the Great Radisson 
Plains. Long trials of Un- 
derwood, however, have sufficed to prove its hardiness. In flavor it 
equals the Japanese plums, size is intermediate, 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, $1.00; 5 for 
! $4.5 
‘ DURA. The Dominion authorities have so named the fine P-4A-18 
Sapa seedling in recognition of its long lasting qualities after it is 
Dura 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 to 4 
ft., each, $1.20; 5 for $5.50. 

RADISSON. Another extra hardy Minnesota plum. An early 
variety, fairly large, with good tree form. Fruit is a hand- 
some red and the quality very high. 3to4ft. Each, $1.20; 
5 for $5.50. 3 

SPLENDID. Of Minnesota origin, Mr. Gerbracht of Hettinger, Opata 
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 deli- 
cious yellow flesh. 3 to 4 ft., each, $1.25; 5 for $6.00. 
HARDY APRICOT 
MANCHURIAN. A very hardy North Asiatic apricot. 
' Fruit about 1 inch long, stone small, flesh sweet and 
pleasing, parent of the hardiest named varieties and 
pollenizes for them, but a useful fruit in itself. Kach, 
3 to 4 ft., 85c; 5 for $4.00.
