and where to ship, much more can be 

 realized. 



As to varieties, the writer considers 

 the Bing far and away in the lead, all 

 things considered. It combines good 

 quality, large size, tough skin, which 

 makes it the very best shipper, and im- 

 mense yielding capacity, and ebony 

 color. It will not, however, produce 

 well planted in solid blocks unless 

 some other pollenizer is provided at 

 right intervals. 



Black Republicans, Tartarian, Gover- 

 nor Wood, all serve the purpose, but 

 for maximum results we recommend 

 budding or grafting into each Bing tree 



a small twig of the Mazzard seedling. 



Next to the Bing, we have found the 

 Lambert most profitable. It has two 

 serious faults; one is a tender skin 

 which cracks in case of showers, and 

 a propensity to shell from the stem and 

 drop when over-ripe or in windy 

 weather. 



Third on the list we would place the 

 Royal Anne, or as it is sometimes called 

 Napolean Biggareau. 



This is indeed a noble cherry with 

 strikingly beautiful tints of white, pink 

 and dark red, its snappy, tart, rich 

 juices and its remarkable bearing quali- 

 ties. It is the favorite for commercial 



canning and for maraschino preserves. 



The Late Duke, while not as profit- 

 able as the sweet varieties mentioned, 

 is the surest cropper of all, withstands 

 severe frosts at blooming time and 

 blooms last. While classified as a pie 

 cherry it is far from sour when well 

 ripe and nearly as large as the Royal 

 Anne. It can be successfully grown 

 where the sweet varieties would freeze 

 out nearly every year. 



How many tons per acre can be pro- 

 duced? 



We should hardly dare to name the 

 amount we believe possible but we have 

 grown eight tons on much less than an 



EGG MASH 



Turns "Star Boarders" Into Star Layers 



IF YOUR POULTRY just boards with you 

 instead of producing — perhaps it's the 

 feed that's at fault. For good results you 

 must put something into your hens besides 

 "filler".

 back on the job for you.

 Soybean Meal, Corn Feed Meal, Flour Mid- 

 dlings, Wheat Bran, Ground Oats, Ground 

 Barley, Alfalfa Meal and Dried Buttermilk. 



These scientifically selected and balanced in- 

 gredients in SE7KIPIK Egg Mash will bring a 

 poorly fed flock back to laying in about two 

 weeks. You'll get plenty of eggs, each full 

 of vitality. 



Dried Buttermilk not only furnishes its 

 share of protein, but the lactic acid supplied 

 compells the digestion and assimilation of the 

 other elements. Considered one of the best 

 feather - growing foods, its presence in 

 (HEEEnS Egg Mash shortens the moulting 

 period by rapidly "dressing" your fowls with 

 even feather growths.
