PLUMS 


The Plum is the great native tree fruit of this northern 
region and the improvement which the native varieties have 
made under cultivation makes it equal in importance to 
that of the apple. 

In produetiveness the native plums are unsurpassed by 
any other class of plums or indeed by any tree fruit. In 
fact the tendency of nearly all varieties is to over-bear 
which however is easily overcome by judicious thining be- 
fore the fruit is developed. They are all very regular in 
bearing and a good crop may be expected each season if 
proper care is given to the tree. No other fruit tree in this 
or any other section of the country is more easy of culture, 
when once it is understood, than is the plum of native origin. 
Unlike the apple, these plums have been here in this clim- 
ate for hundreds of years and are so constituted in root, 
branch and fruit bud that the extremes of our seasons do 
not injure them. Thus the grower has only the matter of 
proper culture to contend with as the best varieties are; 
thoroly hardy. =o

Select Varieties of Americana Plums 


There has sprung up a long list of native varieties and 
we present below those which have beenmore thoroly tested 
and found superior by actual commerical growers in the 
North. We have therefore eliminated from this list many 
varieties of real merit as we find the average planter prefers 
to order from a list restricted to the best varieties and 
thus varieties ‘“‘just as good’’ or ‘‘nos quite so good’’ are 
here dropped. 


Aitkin. Has the most northern origin of any commer- 
cial plum and is also one of the very earliest to ripen, fully 
two weeks before DeSoto. Fruit large, greenish yellow, 
ground covered with brilliant red, turning to dark red when 
ripe. Suitable for the extreme North. 

Bursoto. Said to be hybrid of Burbank and DeSoto. 

Cheney. Fruit irregular, oval, medium to large. 
Seasonearly. 

DeSoto. Probably the most grown of any plum of the 
Americana group. Productiveness almost too great; tree 
should be thinned to prevent overbearing and improve size 
of fruit. Season medium. Fruit medium; orange overlaid 
withecrimson; flesh vellowand firm; of fine flavor and quality. 


Forest Garden. Fruit large, nearly round, dull pur- 
plish red with thin bloom; flesh yellow, sometimes reddish 
next to the stone; firm, sweet and of pleasant flavor; cling. 
Season medium. 


Free Silver (Terry). Originated in northern Iowa. 
One of the largest and finest native plums that has been in-. 
troduced. Ripens very evenly. 


Hawkeye. One of the largest and best plums grown in 
the Northwest. Fruit large, round, oval, thick skin that 
bears handling; color dull red over yellow; flesh yellow 
and of prime quality. Bears young and reported every- 
where as prolific and regular. 


Krikon. Imported from Sweden in 1901. Is one of the 
few blue plums that can be successfully planted in southern 
Minnesota. The tree is upright and requires but little 
pruning. Branches low, well adapted to open localities. 
Fruit medium size; pit very small; skin thin; meat solid; 
very juicy and sweet. 

Ocheda. A variety discovered and introduced by H. 
J. Ludlow, Worthington, Minn., (who was also the origin- 
ator of the of the famous Okabena apple.) Size medium; 
dull, finely mottled red with rather thick bloom; flesh 
rich yellow; sweet and rich in quality; skin medium thick 
and without harstness; stone semi-cling. Season medium. 

Peach. One of the sweetest of all the Americana plums. 
Size medium; color dark red. Tree hardy; excellent grow- 
er. Season medium. 


Rollingstone. Size medium to large, (overbears like 
DeSoto and should be thinned to secure large fruit.) 


10 AHANKINSON NURSERY Co., 


Surprise Plum 


Surprise. Fruit large to very large; skin medium, 
thick, tender; bright red; flesh pale yellow, meaty, fine flavor: 
quality extra good. Season medium. In our Opinion one 
of the very best for North Dakota. 


Stoddard. Color pinkish red over yellow, with very 
small white dots and blushish bloom over all. Season 
medium early. 


Wolf. No western native has actiha been more gen- 
erally commended than this. It is pronounced productive 
and regular in bearing from southern lowa and Nebraska 
to Stonewall, Manitoba, and appears to be generally satis- 
factory. Fruit round-oval, large; color crimson over 
orange, prettily dotted, with bluish bloom; flesh yellow and 
of good flavor and quality; stone perfectly free. Season 
medium. Tree beautiful and symmetrical; inclined to over- 
bear. Very popular in market. 


Wyant. Fruit medium to large; color purplish red, 
inclining to orange on shaded side. 


Weaver. One ofthe few free stone plums that are hardy 
enough to be commercially successful in the north. Has 
been well tested, under cultivation since 1875, and widely 
distributed thruout the northwest. Fruig, large, oval, color 
orange heavily overlaid with red; skin thick with light 
bluish bloom; flesh firm clear golden; quality rich, splendid. 
Season medium late. 


HANKINSON, NORTH DAKOTA a 


Compass Cherry 


Probably no variety of stone fruit grown in the north- 
western states has attracted more attention than the Com- 
pass Cherry. It is a cross between the Sand Cherry 
and the native wild plum. 


The Compass Cherry is absolutely hardy. All 
of our stock of this variety is grafted on hardy wild plum 
roots, thus making every tree ‘‘iron clad’’ in root and 
branch. (We wish here to warn planters that some grow- 
ers are selling Compass Cherry budded on peach roots 
and Myrobalan plum stock. Such trees are worthless in 
this climate. ) 


Fruiting Branch of Compass Cherry 


Its early bearing is remarkable. A great many two 
year old trees as they stand in the nursery row are found 
with cherries on them and we hear constantly from buyers 
that many trees fruit well the same year they are set out. 

In hybridization, the Compass largely lost much of 
that astringency near the skin so characteristic of the 
Sand Cherry. The amalgamation seems to have consider- 
ably developed the tender flesh and juiciness characteristic 
of the cherry. In shape, size and coloring of the fruit, the 
characteristics of the plum and cherry are about evenly. 
divided. When young and green the fruits have more the 
appearance of undeveloped plums, but as they mature they 
fill out and become more round like the cherry. In color 
it changes from green to a bright red, deepening as it be- 
comes ripe. For canning the Compass is valuable in this 
latitude, and when rightly preserved makes an excellent 
stock for pies, puddings, sauces, ete. While it fills a 
unique place in the north, where it stands today as the 
principal hardy fruit approaching the cherry, it is not to 
be compared with the well known commercial cherries 
grown in our eastern and central states.

CHERRIES 


The following are selected varieties, desirable for gen- 
eral culture in sections where they are hardy. The heart 
and Bigerreau are so designated and those followed by an 
mY i belong to the Duke and Morello class. 


Black Tartarian (Heart.) Very large. Late June and 
early July. 

Early Richmond [English Pie Cherry] (MI). Proba- 
bly the most popular variety of the central states. Exceed- 
ingly productive and regular in bearing where hardy. 
Fruit dark red, medium to large. Unsurpassed for pies, 
puddings, etc. June. 


English Morello(M). Anold and popular variety. 


Homer (M). A valuable seedling variety originating 
at Homer, Minnesota. Distinctly of Morello type. Sea- 
son medium. 


Kentish (M). A variety resembling the Early Rich- 
mond, and may possibly be a seedling. Seems to be har- 
dier and the fruit somewhat smaller. A fine pie cherry. 


Luelling (Heart). Large shiny black. 


Montmorency Ordinaire (M). A beautiful large red 
cherry; of finer quality than Early Richmond. 

Sand Cherry. Properly speaking, this variety belongs 
more among the ornamental shrubs than the cultivated 
cherries. We list it here as it has been found very desir- 
able in the extreme parts of Minnesota, Manitoba, etc. 
Now practically superceded by the Compass Cherry-Plum 
which is described elsewhere in this catalog. 

Ostheime (M). Fruit large, nearly black when ripe; 
flesh juicy and rich, fine for both dessert and cooking; finds 
ready sale on all markets. One of the most productive. 

Wrage (NI). Originated in Iowa and is very porular 
in the west. 

Windsor (Bigarreau). A seedling introduced from 


CURRANTS 


The currant is an indispensable garden fruit. It is 
very largely planted all over the north, and owing to its 
early ripening season, it is grown successfully as a com- 
mercial fruit in all sections. 


Red Varieties 


Cherry. Bush vigorous, stocky and compact; cluster 
rather short, fruit medium large; color bright red; very 
thin skin; juicy and fine flavor; one of the most productive. 


Long Bunch Holland. One of the best late varieties. 


Ps

Perfection Currant 


North Star. Popular on account of its hardiness, 
vigorous growth, early fruiting and productiveness. Fruit 
is borne on naked stems which makes easy picking. 


Perfection. The latest introduction, being a cross 
between Fay’s Prolific and White Grape, combining the 
best qualities of both. Berry bright red and large. The 
clusters average longer and the size of berry is maintained 
to the end of bunch. In quality it is said to be superior 
to anything in the market today, being of a rich, mild sub- 
acid flavor with plenty of pulp and few seeds. 


Prince Albert. Bush vigorous, very upright in habit. 


Red Dutch. © An oid and well known standard variety.

for dessert use. 


Black Varieties 
Lee’s Prolific. An old and always popular English 


GOOSEBERRIES 


_The Gooseberry like the Currant, is a favorite in the 
Northern fruit garden. Gooseberries are grown with but 
very little care. All they require is some attention to fer- 
tilizing and cultivation, with an occasional spraying. 


American Varieties 


The following varieties are recommended for Minnesota 
and the North. 


American. Owing to its extreme hardiness it is very 


popular in the latitude of northern Minnesota, Manitoba, 
etc.

some, pale green berry; of splendid quality for dessert’or 
cooking. Bush vigorous and exceedingly productive. 


Houghton. An enormously productive and always 
reliable, old variety. 


Pearl. Similar to Downing but fruit eric report- 
ed a little larger. Said to be a cross between an English 
and American variety. Very hardy; free from mildew and 
productive, even more so than Downing. Superior in size 
and quality. 


Red Jacket. Free from mildew. 


Transparent. A strong and vigorous grower of su- 
perior quality. A popular variety in the north. Free 
from mildew. Season medium; size large. i 


GRAPES 


The grape is an article of food as well as a luxury. 
Some varieties may be successfully grown fn every state. 
In Minnesota and the 
Dakotas, many of the 
Standard grapes may 
be fruited, a very little 
attention being given to 
winter protection. 


Black and Purple 
Varieties 


Beta. A hybrid of 
wild grape, probably 
crossed with Janesville, 
having same hardiness 
and general qualities of 
the wild grape. Has

depended upon to bear 
fruit when properly 
trained. Fine for wine, 
jellies, etc. 
Campbell’s Early. 
Buneh large shoulder- 
ed. Ripens very early. 
Concord. The 


Beta most popular grape in 
America.

fully ripe. Ripens with Concord. 
Niagara. Bunch very large and handsome. MRipens 
with Concords 
Pocklington. Pale green, usually with tinge of golden

fruit. It is successful in most northern states and unsur- 
passed either as a fresh fruit or for preserving. 


Red Varieties 


Cuthbert. (Queen of the Market.) 

Herbert. Very hardy. 

King. Many of our leading fruit growers consider 
this one of the best of the early red raspberries. Berries 
large and attractive, bright red in color and of good

18 HANKINSON NURSERY CoO., 


BLACKBERRY 


The Blackberry is a native fruit in all the northern 
states. The following cultivated varieties are improve- 
ments over the wild berry. Most of them are larger and 
sweeter. It is one of the hardiest garden fruits listed. 


Ancient.Briton. A reliable market variety of medium 
size and of best quality. One of the hardiest. 


Badger. Very prolific; a vigorous grower. 
Eldorado. Of late introduction. 


Stone’s Hardy. Its hardiness will always hold for it 
a place in the estimation of the northern planter. 


Snyder. Also one of the best blackberries for market 
in the north and in hardiness second to none. 


- DEWBERRIES 


The Dewberry is a dwarf, trailing form of the Black- 
berry. Where itis grown successfully, the fruit of the 
Dewberry is highly prized on account of its low growing 
habit. It is easily covered for winter protection. 


Lucretia. One of the most widely planted of the Dew- 
berries. It is a strong grower and exceeding productive. 


Windom. This variety is the one mostly planted in 
the North Central States where it has proved to be the 
most hardy. ; 


JUNEBERRIES 


The Juneberry is a desirable fruit in the Northwest. 
The well known Dwarf Juneberry found indigenous in the 
latitude of Minnesota is prized by all who are familiar 
with.it. An improvement on this has now been made and 
we havea variety known asthe ‘‘Success’’ which main- 
tains the characteristic hardiness of the native variety and 
has a much larger and finer flavored fruit. Perfectly 
hardy; needs no protection or special treatment. 


HORSE RADISH 


This popular plant was introduced to this country from 
Great Britian at an early date and its cultivation forms an 
important industry in many sections too well known for 
further descriptions. We offer strong roots which should 
..be planted in the spring. 


HANKINSON, NORTH DAKOTA 19 


STRAWBERRIES | 


The Strawberry is perhaps the most popular small 
fruit cultivated in the North. As is well known, many of 
our best varieties have imperfect or sterile blossoms. For 
this reason, when planting such varieties it is necessary to 
alternate them with staminate or perfect varieties in order 
that the blooms may become fertilized. In the following 
list, the buyer will therefore find such varieties designated 
as either perfect or imperfect. 


Bederwood—Perfect Niiller—Perfect 
Bubach—Imperfect Palmer—Perfect 
Ciyde—Perfect Ridgeway—Perfect 
Crescent—Imperfect Rough Rider—Perfect 
Enhance—Perfect Sample—Imperfect 
Haverland—Perfect Splendid—Perfect 
Jewell’s Improved—Perfect Warfield—Imperfect 
Lovett—Perfect Wolverton—Perfect 


Senator Dunlap—Perfect. One of the great market 
berries. Has now been well tested and proven wonderfully 
prolific and profitable everywhere. Plant is a rampant 
runner and should be restricted. One of the best in dry 
seasons. Fruit medium to large, regular in form; color 
bright, beautiful red, glossy: exceptionally firm, making a 
splendid keeper and shipper. Quality first-class; ripens 
early and continues a long time. Mid-season. 


RHUBARB 


A valuable early spring vegetable, the use of which is 
universal. The following are the best varieties now in 
cultivation.

Forestry and Shelter-Belt Stock 


The propagation of smallstock for forestry planters, and also those 
living on prairies where shelter belts are necessary, has always been an 
important part of our business. We can supply the leading varieties of 
both deciduous trees and evergreens that have been tried and found 
best adapted for these purposes. 


Ages and Sizes. For the most intelligent filling of orders for this 
class of stock we have found it expedient to» grade all seedlings and 
stock grown from euttings according to height. We cansupnply in vari- 
ous ages, from one to three years in deciduous stock, and from two to 
ten years in evergreens. Among the deciduous varieties grown from 
seed. such as Ash, Box Elder, Maple, ete., we grade in regular sizes, 
running 12 to 18 in.;18 to 24 in. high, ete... and are prepared to furnish this 
stockin quantity. Among the evergreens we handle largely trans- 
planted stock ranging in size from 8 to 12in. up to 3 to4 ft.. We can 
also supply seedling stock 8 to 10 in. highin Arbor Vite, Balsam Fir. 
White Pine, Jack Pine and Black Spruce. 


Space does not permit us here to enumerate the ay he ee of <oge. 
separate variety as adapted to the shelter belt.

so much superior to 
the old type that 
they are rapidly su- 
perceding it. All

> and are valuable for 
their flower and fruit alike. L. Tartarica proper has pink 
flowers in May and June. 


LILAC—Syringa 


As explained under the head of Philadelpbus, this gen- 
eric name should be used only in connection with the Lilac. 
In the past it has been used as a common name for some 
of the varieties of Philadelphus but there is no connection 
whatever between them as they belong to entirely different 
botanical orders. No other shrub as a class is perhaps so 
well known. A careful selection will offer a greatly ex- 
tended season of blooming.
