assortment as each has a different season—each 
a different flavor. You will find them all 
excellent. A Pollinizer Plum should be includ- 
ed in every group.

One of the very largest and very best 
of the Jumbo Plums originated by the Minne- 
sota State Fruit Breeding Farm. The tree 
bears early and is a regular and heavy cropper. 
The fruit is very large, firm fleshed, beautiful 
red color and delicious quality to eat out of 
hand. Superior is one of the better Plums for 
home or for market.

its large, early fruit and annual bearing. It 
is the earliest of the large Plums, attaining 
a size of 13%4 inches in diameter. Fruit is 
attractive red with splendid quality, small pit. 
EMBER— 
Without doubt the best late Plum. It is 
well described by Prof. W. H. Alderman, 
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 charac- 
teristics; it hangs to the tree tenaciously even 
at full maturity, and after picking will keep 
in good condition for two or three weeks.”

eties mentioned, make a splendid assortment 
for the home or for market.
