10 1947 SPRING CATALOG 

Plums 
The choice list of Mammoth Plums de- 
scribed below are considered the cream 
of the list. Our recommendation is to plant 
the full assortment as each has a different 
season—each a different flavor. You will 
find them all excellent. A pollinizer Plum 
should be included in every group. 
SUPERIOR— 
One of the very 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 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. 
UNDERWOOD— 
The Underwood is valuable because of 
its large, early fruit and annual bearing. 
It is the earliest of the large Plums, attain- 
ing a size of 134 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 attrac- 
tive red blush. It has two valuable and 
outstanding characteristics; it hangs to the 
tree tenaciously even at full maturity, and 
after picking will keep in good condition 
for two or three weeks.” This late Plum, 
together with the earlier varieties mention- 
ed, make a splendid assortment for the 
home or for market. 
HANSKA POLLINIZER— 
(Apricot-Plum cross) 
A midseason variety bearing a round, 
brilliant red Plum with a wonderful aroma. 
It has a fine flavor and is a wonderful 
variety to eat from the tree, but it is es- 
pecially fine as a canning Plum.

CUTTING’S 
Hardy Cherries 
You don't need an orchard to grow 
cherries, for the small size, attractive form, 
foliage and color of these trees make them 
valuable assets to any ornamental border. 
The splendid cherries we list on this 
page have adequately proven their desir- 
ability both from the home garden or 
market point of view. With an assortment 
of these one can have the finest of cherries 
for eating and for canning. 
Compass is the best pollinizer for the 
other cherries and should always be plant- 
ed with them. 
OKA— 
A tremendous yielder of large round 
cherries fully one inch in diameter. Dark 
red outside with a juicy, purple meat inside. 
Wonderfully sweet. The best of all the 
purple fleshed cherries. 
SAPA— 
Another excellent Cherry-plum hybrid 
with purple flesh and juice. Sapa is some- 
what larger than Oka and has more of its 
plum parent characteristics. Bears at a very 
early age and is usually an annual bearer. 
COMPASS— 
While this fine old variety is not the 
equal of the other three cherries in quality 
it is a most acceptable and popular fruit for 
canning. It is the best pollinizer known for 
the other cherries and should be included 
in all plantings. 4-5 ft., $1.50 edch. 
NANKING CHERRY NO. 41— 
Ornamental as well as fruitful they are 
very hardy, very productive and have ex- 
cellent quality. The bushes are attractive 
in the spring when they are a mass of 
bloom and again in July when they are 
covered with ropes of red or yellowish red 
fruit. The fruits have a true cherry-like 
flavor and are excellent for sauce or jelly 
making. 3-4 ft., $1.50 each.
