PLUMS—Continued 
SUPERIOR. This sensational new Plum was originated by the 
Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm, and after being tested 
thoroughly, was very appropriately named SUPERIOR. Its very 
name is a challenge, and it is considered by many to be our 
best Plum in its season. Superior ripens mid-season, fruit is large, 
beautiful red, firm flesh, and of exceptional quality. You can 
peel it as you would a Peach. We do not hesitate in recommend- 
ing Superior for an early red Plum. Freestone. 
TONKA. An extremely productive variety producing large, 
round red fruit of firm flesh and good quality. Freestone. 
UNDERWOOD. Undoubtedly the most widely planted of the 
Minnesota introductions. Underwood is valuable because of its 
large early fruit and annual bearing.. Fruit is large, bright red, 
and semi-freestone. A delicious fruit for eating fresh and: for 
canning. The tree is a vigorous grower and one of the hardiest. 
The fruit ripens early, making it exceptionally well adapted to 
northern parts of Minnesota and North Dakota. 
WANETA. ‘Prof. Hansen’s Masterpiece.” Fruit is immense in 
size, delicious quality, beautiful red color, small pit. Tree bears 
very heavily and young. At four years it is not uncommon for 
a Waneta to produce 4 bushels of Plums. Waneta is undoubtedly 
the most popular Plum introduced by Prof. Hansen from Brook- 
ings, South Dakota. 

Pollenizers for Minnesota Plums Wanetar blue 
It is necessary to plant one or two pollenizing Plums with any of 
the Minnesota hybrids'in order to get good yields. It has been 
found that the Minnesota Hybrids do not fertilize one another 
and we recommend the following varieties which will effectively 
pollenate the standard varieties. 

NANKING CHERRY (Prunus To- 
mentosa). A prolific yielder of bright 
red Cherries. Especially desirable for jam 
and jelly. Dwarf tree of about 8 feet. We 
offer the improved selections of the State 
Fruit Breeding Farm, Numbers 41, 63, and 
64. Order an assortment to insure cross- 
pollination. Each 
2 to3 feet. -. 4.1.5.5 91:20 
MAGA, One of the most effective pollenizers for our Minnesota 
hybrids. In addition, Kaga is a very high quality, heavy yielding 
Plum. Especially good for canning. 
SOUTH DAKOTA No. 27. Produces large red Plums of high 
quality. Good either for eating. fresh or for canning. This is 
proving to be one of the best pollenizers for the Minnesota hy- 
brids in addition to being a goad fruit producer itself.
