MOUNT ROYAL 
A European Blue Plum 
Now a blue European Plum is available for you in the variety Mt. Royal. 
Bred in Canada and tested at the Morden, Manitoba, Experiment Station, it has 
been proven hardy in most of Minnesota. 
Just as good in quality as those fresh Plums from the West Coast, the 
Mt. Royal, however, is a little smaller. The trees are very productive and 
apparently self-fertile. The fruit is a beautiful blue and very good for preserving 
or jam. A welcome addition to LAND O' LAKES selections. Recommended for 
zones up through V, and for trial in Zone VI. See prices below.

You Need Pollinizers for Hybrid Plums 
Pollinizer Plums are necessary for fruit setting on the Hybrid Plums listed 
on page 12. Be sure to include one or more pollinizers with your order for
