loamy soil and heavier soils where there is plenty of 
moisture. It will thrive on well tilled new land. Like 
the Premier it is about frost-proof and bears abund-

markets.

favorable comments from most Michigan plant growers. 
The berries are medium to large size—beautiful bright 
red color and firm. It seems to be a free plant maker 
and the foliage is healthy. Cherries begin ripening about 
7 to 10 days later than Premier. From all reports the

adapted to commercial growing and we feel should be
