SUPERIOR The Outstanding Early 
A1632—The largest, and one of the best quality, 
hybrid plums. The tree grows very fast and bears 
young, usually the first year after planting. Ripens 
from August to September, depending upon the 
latitude of the country in which it is planted, and 
it bears a crop every year. It is a heavy bearer of 
unusually big, yellowish fruit which turns pink 
and then a deep, rich red. They will peel like 
peaches and the firm, juicy flesh is of high dessert 
quality. Excellent for jellies, jams and preserves. 
TECUMSEH ... 
Extra Hardy » Long-Lived « Earliest of All 
A1634—One of Dr. Hansen’s 
best, and probably the best eating 
plum in our whole list. Ordinarily 
ripens in August. Trees are of 
| moderate size, fine for home plant- 
| ing, and easy to pick for the or- 
chardist. Earliest bearing of all, 
and hardy clear up into Canada. 
The fruit is a bright red with blu- 
ish bloom. The flesh is yellow, 
firm, juicy and sweet, and has a 
delightfully appetizing flavor. We 
have grown this variety for many 
years and are convinced that it 
has everything a plum should have 
to make it ideal for your use.
