Baileys 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 or- 
der to give you trees that will withstand extreme 
conditions. The following varieties have been 
especially selected to give you a choice of out- 
standing Plums throughout a long season. 
Superior. After thorough testing, this outstand- 
ing new Hybrid Plum was appropriately named Su- 
perior. 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. It ripens midseason. 
Underwood. Here is another origination of the 
Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm. It is, Bailey’s lead- 
ing Plum and probably the most widely grown 
variety in the north central states. The rich, at- 
tractive red fruits are medium large with smooth, 
satin-like skin. The quality is very good, especially 
for jam and preserves. The tree is hardy, vigor- 
ous and long-lived. It ripens early midseason. 
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. 
Ember. Many consider this variety the best Hy- 
brid 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 gaining 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. 
POLLENIZERS FOR 
HYBRID PLUMS 
In order to get good yields it is essential to in- 
clude 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. 
EUROPEAN BLUE PLUM 
Mount Royal. The search for a Euro- 
pean Blue Plum, hardy enough to with- 
stand the climate of the north central 
states, has resulted in satisfaction with 
Mount Royal. It is very productive, and 
does not need a pollenizer. Fruit deep 
blue with an attractive bloom. Excellent 
for eating and canning.

Nanking (Prunus Tomentosa). The 
small, bright red fruits are borne in 
abundance along the branches. They 
have a pleasant flavor, intermediate 
between sour and sweet Cherries, The 
quality is good for dessert and cooking. 
The profusion of pink flowers and 
brightly colored fruit make this Cherry 
an attractive ornamental shrub. The 
bushes reach a height of 5 to 7 feet.
