EUROPEAN TYPE BLUE PLUMS 
HARDY FOR MINNESOTA: 
‘STANLEY PRUNE—You home gardeners in

these European Type Blue Plums in your own 
back yard, instead of buying “shipped in” 
fruit from the grocery. Fruit is a beautiful blue— 
makes delightful dessert, jam or preserves. Test- 
ed in Minnesota and Canada for extreme hardi- 
ness. A big yielder and self-fertile (a single tree 
will bear fruit). Prices below.
