Crab Apples 
_ Dolgo—Wm. Page, county agent at Grand Forks, 
says this is an excellent crab for the North. 
Makes the best possible jelly, good for pickles, 
and also good for mixing with other apples for 
sauce. We have had heavy crops these last two 
yeais in sp*te of heavy frost at blossom time. 
The tree is fast growing and shapely, beautiful 
as an ornamental lawn tree. 3-4 ft., $1.00; 5-6 
feet, $1.50. 
Chestnut—A_ recent introduction of the Minne- 
sota Fruit Breeding Farm, it fills a long-felt and 
definite need for the home fruit grower. Ripening 
just after the Whitney, it will keep for two 
months. This is good news for school children. 
Its large size and the nut-like flavor of its crisp 
flesh make it a favorite for eating. The tree is 
heavy bearing and hardy. 3-4 ft., each $1.00. 
Virginia—At the Northwest School and Station 
at Crookston this tree is hignly recommended. 
lt is a good standard size crab, 3-4 ft., $1.00. 
Whitney—An old favorite. Very large, a_ treat 
to eat. Well known and well liked. 3-4 ft., $1.00. 
Traill—While it is classed as a erab, and it is 
the best pickling crab because it stays whole 
when pickled. everyone likes it because it is so 
good to eat. 4-5 ft., $2.00. 
Reseue—Another Canadian variety, ripens early 
red color, excellent eating. Transplanted 2-year 
trees, each $1.50. 
Large Plums 
Kaga—This has been our most reliable plum. 
Always bears a lot of apricot flavored fruit. It 
has a flavor all its own for eating and canning. 
4-5 ft., each $1.50. 
Pipestone—This new one from our fruit breeding 
farm appears to be the best Minnesota variety 
for us. The tree grows fast and has the largest. 
plum of any we can grow. Think of having plums 
nearly two inches across with a fine flavor and 
you can imagine the pleasure you can have in 
picking and eating them. Good for canning’. 3-4 
feet, each $1.25. 
Redglow Minnesota No. 101 Plum looks most 
promising. Strong and fast growing hardy tree 
with fruit that can’t be beat. 4-5 ft., $1.25. 
Ember—The last to ripen, a good keeper, nice 
to have around for eating long after the other 
plums have gone. 3-4 ft., $1.25.
