We take pride in offering these NEWEST, FINEST, HARDIEST, PLUMS—and most of them start 
bearing the next year after planting. Use several varieties in your clump to get the biggest and best 
crops. Include a Superior or a Toka, as they are excellent pollenizers. 
Ember—Large fruit, flame yellow to red, with rich, 
meaty flesh of grand quality and flavor. 
~La Cresent—Outstanding yellow plum. The big, ten- 
der, sweet fruit makes delicious preserves and pies. 
+Pipestone—The grand big new purplish-red plum from 
Minnesota, as large as tropical fruit but all hardy. 
Finest quality; excellent for canning or eating fresh. 
Bears young and heavily; ripens in August. 
- —Red Coat—Big prune-shaped plums of vivid scarlet; 
rich, juicy, meaty flesh of delicious flavor, Entirely 
freestone. 
-Waneta—Juicy, medium sized fruit of rich, fine fla- 
vor; dark purple skin and flesh. Excellent for can- 
ning. Bears enormous crops, 
\ Superior—A plum that should be in every planting.

rich, delicious flavor. Can be peeled as you would a

for other plums. 
Pears 
Pears grow in any ordinary soil, even in sod, right 
in your yard. Plant 20 feet apart. Two trees alike or 
different varieties, planted near each other so they 
can cross-polinize, will both produce more heavily than 
if planted alone.

Iowa, Minnesota, ete. Ripens in August. The fruit 
is large, yellow with blush, juicy, sweet, luscious fla- 
vor. Good bearer.
