WANETA 
Hansen’s Masterpiece 
Largest Red Hardy Hansen Variety 
A1637—You get big, profitable 
crops from Waneta. It is the truly de- 
licious, old favorite. The fruit is very 
large and a gorgeous reddish-purple 
color. The flesh is tender, sweet, and 
juicy—of the finest quality. A sure 
bearer every year, and one of the best 
of all market plums. 
Waneta was originated at the South 
Dakota Experiment Station by the 
late Dr. N. E. Hansen. The trees are 
vigorous, spreading, exceedingly 
hardy, and (very important) exceed- 
ingly productive. '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- 
clude one or more of these three in your 
order.
