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 ex- 
treme 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 orig 
inated 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 PRICES OF HYBRID PLUMS

POLLENIZERS FOR HYBRID PLUMS 
In order to get good yields it is essential to include one or 
two pollenizing Plums with plantings of Hybrid Plums. 
Maga. 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. This pollenizer also produces Plums of 
good quality for eating or canning. The large fruit is red in 
color. 

EUROPEAN BLUE PLUM 
Mount Royal. The search for a European Blue Plum, hardy 
enough to withstand the climate of the north central states, has 
Underwood resulted in satisfaction with Mount Royal. It is very productive, 
tive bloom. Excellent for eating and canning. Each

Superior. After thorough testing, this outstanding new Hybrid 
Plum was appropriately named Superior. It was originated 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 Minnesota. 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 4 bushels of fruit in its fourth year. The red fruit is 
large in size. It ripens in late midseason. 
LATE 
Ember. Many consider this variety the best Hybrid Plum. The 
large fruits are yellow with a red blush. They hang well to the 
tree after ripening, and keep 3 to 4 weeks after harvesting. This 
vigorous and hardy tree is another originated by the Minnesota 
Fruit Breeding Farm. 
Fiebing Prize. One of our leading Plums that is rapidly gain- 
ing popularity. Fruit is very large, firm, and of excellent canning 
quality. Dark red and ripens midseason to late. Tree is a vigorous 
grower and yields heavily. Superior
