Note: Sweet Cherries bear heavier and more regular 
crops where properly cross-pollinated, and two or more 
varieties shoidd be planted together. 
Again note that Napoleon, Bing, Lambert, and Em- 
peror Francis are incompatible ; a third variety should 
be planted with them. 
Sour Cherries are generally self-fruitful and will cross- 
pollinate Sweet Cherries to a greater or lesser degree, 
depending on seasonal bloom period variations. 
SWEET 
CHERRIES 
HIGH IN QUALITY AND VIGOR — HEAVY 
PRODUCERS — LONG LIVED — BEAUTIFUL 
USE FOR BOTH FRUIT AND SHADE 
BING (3506) This valuable black cherry succeeds every- 
where. Flesh very solid; flavor of the highest quality. A 
fine shipping and market variety. Midseason. 
NAPOLEON BIGARREAU (Royal Ann) (3507) A 
beautiful cherry of large size, pale yellow with bright red 
cheeks; flesh firm, juicy, and sweet. One of the best for 
market. Midseason. 
EMPEROR FRANCIS (3508) Large, high quality 
cherry of the Napoleon type. Ripens just before Napoleon 
and is less subject to cracking. Promises to be one of the 
best main-crop sweet cherries of the Napoleon type. Mid- 
season. 
BLACK RUSSIAN (3509) One of our finest new, 
hardy sweet cherry varieties. Trees are vigorous, very 
hardy, and highly productive. Crops are seldom affected 
by low winter temperatures or spring frosts. Fruits are 
medium in size, do not crack, and show little tendency to 
brown rot before picking. Cherries are almost black in 
color, freestone, and very flavorful. Ripens just before 
Schmidt. 
Varieties listed in order of ripening 
EARLY RIVERS (3502) This fine cherryis highly regard- 
ed by cherry growers in eastern New York. Ripens a few days 
later than Seneca and 10 days ahead of Black Tartarian. 
It is larger and firmer in flesh than Tartarian. Crimson- 
black in color and excellent quality for dessert. Early. 
BLACK TARTARIAN (3503) Very large; bright pur- 
plish black; tender, juicy, very rich. Tree a remarkable vig- 
orous and erect grower, and is an immense bearer. Early. 
VERNON (3505) The fruit is large, firm fleshed, black, 
and ripens just before Bing. The tree is vigorous and pro- 
ductive. 
SCHMIDT'S BIGARREAU (3510) This fruit is very large 
size, with a fine rich flavor. Fruit grows in clusters. Is an 
excellent shipper. Tree is vigorous and one of the hard- 
iest of all sweet cherries. Midseason. 
HEDELFINGEN (351 2) Ripens just ahead of Windsor 
and Lambert. Its performance in New York, Canada and 
Europe justifies its being recommended as a large, firm- 
fleshed, high quality, late black cherry of the Lambert 
type. The fruit has the valuable attribute of being more 
resistant to cracking than most cherries. 
LAMBERT (3513) One of the largest of all cherries. It is 
purple-red, firm and rich. Every year sees an enormous 
crop. The tree not only grows well, but is very resistant 
to insect and fungus attacks. Midseason. 
Sunscald is a particular problem with young trees 
during the winter months. Protect your trees the first 
winter by wrapping two layers of household aluminum 
foil around the trunks and larger branches. This will- 
also guard against mouse and rabbit damage. 
WINDSOR (3514) Tree upright, vigorous and a rapid 
grower. Fruit almost black, very firm and juicy ; flesh pink- 
ish and sometimes streaked. Quality very good; a produc- 
tive bearer. A leading commercial variety, used widely 
for pollination purposes. Midseason.
