Marshall's 
Hybrid 
PLUM TREES 
See Page 12 for Plums in Full Color 
Through selection and hybridization, scientists have virtually created new races of super-hardy plums. 
extreme hardiness of the northern wild plums with the quality of the more tender Eastern and Oriental plums. These hybrids will 
thrive and produce abundantly in the most rigorous sections of the Northern Plain States. 
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? 
OPATA. The Opata is a cross from the 
Dakota Sand Cherry and the Gold Plum, 
originated by the late Luther Burbank. 
Tree is vigorous in growth, heading very 
low and of quite spreading habits, and 
should be let grow in this form. Medium 
size, green flesh, flavor very pleasant, 
combining the spicy acid of the Sand 
Cherry with the rich sweetness of the 
Gold Plum. Ripens in July and fruit will 
hang on the tree in good condition for 
about two weeks. 
Ca 
SAPA. Similar to the Opata. Being an ex- 
tremely early bearer. Medium sized; 
flesh rich, dark purplish-red, fine flavor. 
Should also be grown in bush form. 
RED COAT. A highly productive new medium sized prune- 
shaped plum. All red with a perfect freestone. 
KAHINTA. One of Prof. Hansen’s best. It 
combines hardiness, immense size, deli- 
cious quality, long keeping, beautiful col- 
or, small pit and early bearing. It is a 
2-inch, 2-ounce plum. A wonderful plum. 
Very hardy. 
OMAHA. A valuable plum, originated by 
the late Theodore Williams of Benson, 
Nebr. Very large, small pit and solid 
meat with an excellent flavor. A favorite 
from the tree and one of the best can- 
ning plums that is grown. Its size, tex- 
ture, and flavor resemble the Burbank, 
one of the leading California plums, and 
as a market plum it sells quite as read- 
ily. Is very productive, perfectly hardy 
and one we will guarantee to please the 
most critical. 
Large. 
Well worthy of a place in every orchard or home yard. 
SUPERIOR. One of the very largest and very best of the 
Jumbo Plums originated by the Minnesota State Fruit 
Breeding Farm. The tree bears early and is a regular 
and.a heavy cropper. The fruit is very large, firm 
fleshed, beautiful red color and delicious quality to eat 
out of the hand. Superior is one of the better plums for 
home and market. : 
A Delicious Eating Fruit... 
f 
STANDARD PEARS 
DOUGLAS. 
It is the best bearer of any known pear and 
practically immune to blight. A large handsome pear that 
ripens in early fall, golden yellow flushed with pink, 
tender, juicy, excellent flavor. Sometimes bearing. one 
year after planting and then every year after. Resists 
frost and adverse weather, and sets fruit almost without 
fail. Our tree in trial grounds ripened several fine pears 
the first season and has borne every year since. Excel- 
lent for sauce and canning. 
CLAPPS FAVORITE. This is a seedling of Bartlett and earlier 
In quality 
ripening. Lemon yellow in color, with brown dots. 
it is almost the equal of its parent, and hardier.

buttery, very juicy and high flavored; bears early and abund- 
antly. August.

and Wild Plum cross. It is very hardy 
and thrives in nearly any location. The 
fruit is good for jams, jellies, and can- 
ning. Is an early fruiter, bearing the sec- 
ond year. It is indispensable as a polli- 
nizer for Sapa and Opata. Plant a Com- 
pass in every planting. 
An excellent type of 
European Prune that has borne heavily 
and consistently for years on the grounds 
of the late Don Weber in Arlington. The 
fruit is large and quality excellent. The 
tree is perfectly hardy and a heavy bear-
