Very heavy sales last spring 
and shortage of skilled help 
has led to an extreme short- 
age of fruit trees and par- 
ticularly plums and cherries. 
Our list is short and no other 
varieties will be available till 
the fall of 1946. 

Wild Plum 
WILD PLUM. This hardy native is rapidly acquiring popu- Opata 
larity for its value as a shelter belt tree as well as an orna- 
mental and a producer of fruit. We offer very thrifty stock from native seed. Wonderful for 
sauce, jam and jelly. 3 to 4 ft. Each, 60c; 10, $5.00. See page 59 for seedlings. 
OPATA. A cross between sandcherry and Gold Plum 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. 
3 to 4 ft. Price, each, $1.00; 5 for $4.50. 
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, $1.00; 
 &, $4.50. 
. DURA. The Dominion authorities 
recommen have so named the fine P-4A-18 
Sapa seedling in recognition of its long lasting qualities after it is 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, $1.00. 


2 UNDERWOOD. Many of the Minne- 
sota 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 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 $4.75. 
Se RADISSON. Another extra hardy Minnesota plum. An early vari- 
* ety, fairly large, with good tree form. Fruit is a handsome red 
and the quality very high. 8 to 4 ft. Each, $1.00; 5 for $4.75. 
RED WING. This variety has stood up remarkably well in the dry 
area during the past few severe years. It is a very large fruited 
plum. Fruit is firm, sweet and of good quality. Color is yellow overlaid with red. Mid-season 
bearer. 3 te 4 ft. Each, $1.20. 
WANETA. Apparently the hardiest of the extra large size plums. The largest of Dr. Hansen’ S pro- | 
ductions. A heavy bearer of very large, good quality fruit. Very drouth resistant. Ripens in mid- 
season. The best large plum for the Great Plains. 3 to 
4 ft. Each $1.25. 
HARDY APRICOT 
SCOUT. A genuine edible apricot from the Dominion Ex- 
periment Sta. at Morden, Manitoba. A small tree up to 
12 feet. Bears well. Fruit is a bronze gold in color, flesh 
yellow, free stone, tender of fibre, thin skinned. Delicious 
as a dessert, canned or for jam. A Manchurian or Siberian 
cceo should be planted as a Dotlentesys 3 to 4 ft., each, 
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. Each, 2 to 3 ft, 50e; 
5, $2.25. Radisson
