best, and probably the best eating 
plum in our whole list. Ordinarily 
ripens in August. Trees are of 
moderate size, fine for home plant-

chardist. Earliest bearing of all, 
and hardy clear up into Canada.

ish bloom. The flesh is yellow, 
firm, juicy and sweet, and has a 
delightfully appetizing fragrance.

many years and are convinced that 
it has everything a plum should 
have to make it ideal for your use.

crops from Waneta. It is the truly 
delicious, old favorite. The fruit is 
large and a gorgeous reddish-purple 
color. The flesh is tender, sweet, and

Waneta was originated at the South 
Dakota Experiment Station and is a 
cross between the apple, plum and 
cherry. The trees are vigorous, 
spreading, exceedingly hardy, and 
(very important) exceedingly produc- 
tive. The bearing season is usually 
early September. 
About Plum Pollinization 
Plum trees ordinarily will set a fairly 
good crop of fruit when planted singly 
because bees carry plum pollen a long. 
way and there usually are some plums 
in the neighborhood. However, for a 
really bumper crop, you should plant two 
or more varieties, at least one of which 
would be a good pollinizer. Three good 
pollinizers are Kaga, the new South Da- 
kota, and Compass, listed on page 19. 
These three also bear good fruit. So to 
get the most fruit from your plums, in- 
rps one or more of these three in your 
order. ‘ j
