One of the very largest and very best of 
the Jumbo Plums originated by the Minne- 
sota 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 
3 better Plums for home or for market.

Medium-sized, bright crimson fruit—ex- 
cellent 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 pollen- 
izing Plums with any of the Minnesota hy- 
brids 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. 
\ KAGA POLLENIZER— 
The best Plum pollenizer for our Minne- 
sota hybrids. Sweet and tasty, it is a valu- 
able addition to the home planting.

HARDY PEARS 
extra-large stalks, bright red all the way \ PARKER— 
through, the red color extending even to the 
mid-rib of the leaf. Does not lose its bright 
color in cooking, and both sauce and pies 
are an appetizing cherry-red color. 
RUBY RED— 
Another new Red Rhubarb introduced 
from Canada. The stalks are intensely red 
as the name implies—even the inside of the 
stalk is red. Rhubarb sauce made from 
Ruby is as red as strawberry sauce. The 
skin is so tender it can be cooked with the 
stalk. 
Introduced by the Minnesota State Fruit 
Farm, this splendid pear is now recommend- 
ed for the southern half of Minnesota. The 
fruit is medium to large, with smooth skin; 
color, yellow-bronze with faint blush. 
\. PATTEN— 
This pear has been thoroughly tested and 
is now recommended for planting in south- 
ern Minnesota and suggested for trial in 
favorable locations farther north. The fruit 
is of good size, resembles Bartlett in form 
and color; very tender, juicy and of good 
quality. Season, September.
