Plums 
UNDERWOOD— 
The Underwood is valuable because of 
its large, early fruit and annual bearing. 
It is the earliest of the large Plums, attain- 
ing a size of 134 inches in diameter. Fruit 
is attractive red with splendid quality, small 
pit. 
SUPERIOR— 
One of the very largest and very best of 
the Jumbo Plums originated by the Minne- 
sota State Fruit Breeding Farm. The tree 
bears early and is a regular and heavy 
cropper. The fruit is very large, firm fleshed, 
beautiful red color and delicious quality to 
eat out of hand. Superior is one of the bet- 
ter Plums for home or for market. 
REDCOAT— 
A red, freestone, early ripening, very pro- 
ductive, hardy Plum. Long, oval; excellent 
for canning and cooking. 
PIPESTONE— 
A very large, productive, early mid- 
season variety of excellent quality for des- 
sert and culinary purposes. Yellow with a 
red blush. 
MOUNT ROYAL— 
The search for a European Blue Plum, 
hardy enough to withstand the climate of 
the north-central states, has resulted in sat- 
isfaction with Mount Royal. It is apparently 
self-fertile and very productive. Fruit deep 
blue with an attractive bloom. Excellent for 
eating and canning. 4-5 ft., each $1.85. 
POLLENIZERS FOR MINNESOTA PLUMS— 
It is necessary to plant one or two pollen- 
izing Plums with any of the Minnesota 
hybrids in order to get good yields. It has 
-been found that the Minnesota hybrids do 
not fertilize one another and we recommend 
the following varieties which will effectively 
pollenate the standard varieties. 
HANSKA POLLENIZER— 
A midseason variety bearing a round, 
brilliant red Plum with a wonderful aroma. 
It has a fine flavor and is a wonderful vari- 
ety to eat from the tree, but it is especially 
fine as a canning Plum. 
KAGA POLLENIZER— 
One of the most effective pollenizers for 
our Minnesota hybrids. In addition, Kaga 
is a very high quality, heavy yielding Plum. 
Especially good for canning.

Hardy Cherries 
Compass is the best pollenizer for the 
other cherries and should always be planted 
with them. 
OKA— 
A tremendous yielder of large round 
cherries fully one inch in diameter. Dark 
red outside with a juicy, purple meat inside. 
Wonderfully sweet. The best of all the 
purple fleshed cherries. 
SAPA— 
Another excellent Cherry-plum hybrid 
with purple flesh and juice. Sapa is some- 
what larger than Oka and has more of its 
plum parent characteristics. Bears at very 
early age and is usually an annual bearer. 
COMPASS— 
While this fine old variety is not the equal 
of the other two cherries in quality it is a 
most acceptable and popular fruit for can- 
ning. It is the best pollenizer known for 
the other cherries and should be included 
in all plantings.

NANKING CHERRY (Minn. Nos. 20 and 41)— 
Improved Minnesota Creations—Two out- 
standing ornamentals and heavy producers 
of brilliant, useful fruit. The beautifully 
formed shrubs reach a height of about 
7 feet and present an unusual combination 
of beautiful flowers (extra early), attractive 
foliage, with generous loads of brilliant, red 
cherries in early summer. The fruit is ex- 
cellent for eating out of hand, or for jelly 
and canning. We offer two of the best 
of the new improved Nanking Cherries 
developed by our University Experts, Min- 
nesota Numbers 20 and 41. 2-3 ft., $1.20

Farm, this splendid pear is now recom- 
mended for the southern half of Minnesota.

skin; color, yellow-bronze with faint blush. 
PATTEN— 
This pear has been thoroughly tested and 
is now recommended for planting in south- 
ern Minnesota and suggested for trial in 
favorable locations farther north. The fruit
