HYBRID PLUMS 
Select Varieties for a Long Season 
Few fruits have been improved as much in recent years as have 
the Plums. The trees bear younger and more heavily. The fruit 
is of better quality. Bailey’s Plums are grafted on native roots in 
order to give you trees that will withstand extreme conditions. 
The following varieties have been especially selected to give you 
a choice of outstanding Plums throughout a long season.

EARLY 
La Crescent. The Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm originated 
this fine Plum. It is of the finest quality for home use, but it is 
thought to bruise too easily to merit production for the market. 
The fruit is below medium in size. The color is clear yellow with 
a slight blush. It is freestone. The tree is hardy and vigorous. 

Underwood 
Underwood. Here is another origination of the Minnesota 
Fruit Breeding Farm. It is Bailey’s leading Plum and probably 
the most widely grown variety in the north-central states. The 
rich, attractive red fruits are medium large with smooth, satin- 
like skin. The quality is very good, especially for jam and 
preserves. The tree is hardy, vigorous and long-lived. 
MID-SEASON 
Kaga. See Plum pollenizers on this page. 
South Dakota No. 27. See Plum pollenizers on this 
page. 
Superior. After thorough testing, this outstanding new 
Hybrid Plum was appropriately named Superior. It was orig- 
inated by the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm. The tree comes 
into bearing early and produces heavily. The bright red fruit 
is very large. The quality is good for dessert, jelly, jam and 
preserves. The tree is not reliably hardy in northern Minne- 
sota. It has a strong tendency to be resistant to brown rot. 
Waneta. This very productive variety has been described 
as “Prof. Hansen’s Masterpiece’. It is not uncommon for 
Waneta to.produce four bushels of fruit in its fourth year. 
The red fruit is Jarge in size. It ripens in late midseason.

Ember 
LATE 
Eljictt. This very heavy ard reliable 
cropper produces large, bright red Plums 
that are fine for dessert and jelly. Small 
pit; nearly freestone. Tree is very hardy. 
Ember. Many consider this variety the 
best Hybrid Plum. The large fruits are yel- 
low with a red blush. They hang well to 
the tree after ripening, and keep three to 
four weeks after harvesting. This vigorous 
and hardy tree is another originated by the 
Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm. 

POLLEN!IZERS FOR HYBRID PLUMS 
In order to get good yields it is essential to include one or two 
pollenizing Plums with plantings of Hybrid Plums. 
Kaga. Although this variety is recommended as a pollenizer it is well 
worth growing for its fruit. The red fruit is below medium in size. The 
quality is good for eating and cooking. Tree is hardy and productive. 
South Dakota No. 27. This pollenizer also produces Plums of 
good quality for eating or canning. The large fruit is red in color. 

Superior 
EUROPEAN BLUE PLUM 
Mount Royal. The search for a European 
Blue Plum, hardy enough to withstand the 
climate of the north-central states, has re- 
sulted in satisfaction with Mount Royal. It is 
apparently self-fertile and very productive. 
Fruit deep blue with an attractive bloom. Ex- 
cellent for eating and canning. Each
