State Fair No. 37 is an Americana plum seedling recorded by the South Dakota Experiment Station from its State Fair seedling group. That group was raised from pits taken from prize plates of leading Americana varieties at the Iowa State Fair in 1895 and planted at the station in spring 1896. [S1] In the bulletin, it appears as a numbered selection rather than a fully named commercial introduction, but the station note is favorable and says it should be propagated. [S1]
The fruit was described as large, bright red, and of good quality. [S1] In station records, it ripened on September 11, 1903, and September 10, 1904, placing it in the early to mid September season in that South Dakota setting. [S1] The surviving description is brief, so it does not give details such as flesh color, texture, clingstone or freestone behavior, or specific culinary use. [S1]
The tree was noted as overbearing in 1904, with fruit loaded to the ground, suggesting very heavy productivity under trial conditions. [S1] The broader page context places No. 37 among hardy Americana seedlings being evaluated for northern orchard use in South Dakota, but no direct zone rating or named parentage is given. [S1] What survives is the outline of a promising prairie plum selection: productive, large fruited, brightly colored, and good enough in quality that the station recommended further propagation. [S1]
