New . . Hybrid 

Through selection and hybridization, scientists have virtually created 
{ new races of super—hardy plums. They have combined the extreme hardi- 
4 ness’ of the Northern wild plums with the quality of the more tender 
Fastern and Oriental plums. These hybrids will thrive and produce abun— 
dantly in the most rigorous sections of the Northern Plains States. The 
size and quality of fruit from these hybrids are equal and in some cases 
surpass that of the Oriental (California) plums which are so attractive 
on the fruit stands. Why not grow these right in your own orchards and 
gardens?
