~4PLUMS and PLUM HYBRIDS 
Plant Several Types Together or Plant with Cherries 
to Insure Pollination 


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 1947. 



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. 2 to 8 ft., each, 40c; 10, $3.50; 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. 
="s 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

promise for the north.” One of Dr. ~ 
Hansen’s productions. Very good 
at Mandan. 8 to 4 ft., each, $1.20. 
DURA. The Dominion authorities 
ocean have so named the fine P-4A-18

nus nigra blood. Large, quality 
good. Extremely milink 3 to 4 ft., Dura

= and is an excellent keeper. 3 to 4 ft., each} $1.20; 5 for $5.00.
