PLUMS 
~UNDERW OOD— 
The Underwood is valuable because of its 
large, early fruit and annual bearing. It is the 
earliest of the large Plums, attaining 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 Minnesota 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 better Plums for home or for market. 
~‘REDCOAT— 
Medium-sized, bright crimson fruit—excellent 
for canning and cooking. Perfectly freestone. 
Trees very vigorous and hardy; bear young 
and extra heavy. 
- POLLENIZERS FOR MINNESOTA 
PLUMS— 
It is necessary to plant one or two pollenizing 
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, bril- 
liant red Plum with a wonderful aroma. It has 
a fine flavor and is a wonderful variety 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 yielding Plum. Especially good for 
canning. 
PRICES OF ALL PLUM TREES

GOOSEBERRIES 
- PIXWELL— 
One of Professor Yeager’s wonderful pro- 
ductions. A cross between a native wild 
selection and a high quality cultivated sort. 
The berries are very large. The plants are 
rapid growing and vigorous. A heavy bearer. 
Fruit on long stems and bushes sparse in thorns, 
hence they are easy to pick.

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 cher- 
ries 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 somewhat 
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 canning. 
It is the best pollenizer known for the other 
cherries and should be included in all plant- 
ings.
