BOUNTIFUL STRAIN IMPROVED 
^ MONTMORENCY 
(DAYTON STRAIN) 
Large Size — Vigor of Growth — Productivity — Plus 
Virus-Free Planting Stock Make It Superior to all 
Other Types of Montmorency. 
It was discovered in the orchards of Clyde S. Mumma, 
Dayton, Ohio, in a general planting of Montmorency 
trees. When we first saw the tree it was about 10 years 
of age and loaded down with fruit, having a heavier 
crop than any other trees adjoining it. All trees had the 
same attention, and Mr. Mumma says it had always 
borne this large type of Montmorency. The tree is 
vigorous but not any larger than other trees. The fruits 
have the same rich red color as other Montmorency 
cherries but seem to be slightly more mild in flavor. Its 
immense size immediately attracted attention. We grew 
several hundred trees of this type for Mr. Mumma's own 
planting and now pass it on to our customers at no 
addiuenal cost to them. Nature again contributes an 
improved type to our greatest sour cherry. 
/ EARLY RICHMOND One of the most valuable and 
popular cherries, unsurpassed for cooking purposes. It is 
the good old variety that yields such marvelous crops in 
gardens. The most hardy of all varieties, uninjured by 
the coldest winters.
