Giant, Jucey PLUMS and PRUNES 
Tree -Ripened in your own back yard ee gh 
Why pay high prices for Plums shipped in from distant 
areas—of necessity picked green and ripened enroute— 
when you can have better ones picked orchard-fresh from 
your own trees? The true flavor and sweetness of a Plum 
comes into it during its last few days of ripening on the 
tree. Until one has enjoyed the hearty goodness of a fully 
ripened Plum, he really can’t appreciate this wonderful 
fruit. Tree-ripened Plums are mouth-watering when can- 
ned, too. Plum trees are not large and can be used ef- 
fectively in the landscape border, especially such varieties 
as Mt. Royal, Stanley Prune and Superior. Plant a tree or 
two this spring. They bear young so you won't have long 
to wait.

PLUM POLLINIZERS. To bear fruit, 
Pipestone, Superior and Redcoat 
need to be cross-pollinated. We have 
found South Dakota and Toka to be 
especially good pollinizers. Mt. 
Royal and Stanley Prune can be 
planted alone.

an unusual Apricot-Plum flavor. 
Absolutely tops for jam.

South Dakota is a good eating Plum
