SWEET 



CHERRY TREES 



NOTE — Sweet Cherries bear heavier and more regular where 

 properly cross pollinated and two or more varieties should be 

 planted together. 



Again note that Xapoleon, Bing, Lambert and Emperor 

 Francis are incompatible and 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, depend- 

 ing on seasonal bloom period variation.

 upright, spreading habit of growth. Introduced by N. Y.

 York. Ripens a few days ' later than Seneca and 10 days

COMMENT 



Observations covering several years in many sweet 

 cherry sections lead us to place EARLY RIVERS — 

 WINDSOR— EMPEROR FRANCIS and BLACK 

 RUSSLAN on the preferred list because of their all 

 around qualities. It would be hard to ask for any- 

 thuig better in sweet cherries.

 during mid-summer showing vigorous, heavy bodied 

 trees, many of them over 6 feet high. Stock like this 

 is always dependable.

 VV ll^J.yiJv>/irL gj. ■ fruit large, roundish, oblong, very 

 firm and juicy; flesh pinkish and sometimes streaked; quality

 leading commercial variety, used widely for pollination pur- 

 poses.

the Napoleon type.

BLACK RUSSIAN 



One of Our Finest New Hardy Sweet Cherries 



A new sweet cherry coming to us from the orchards of Mr. 

 Hiram Burkholder, Clyde, Ohio. Mr. Burkholder for years 

 tested many varieties of new fruits to determine the finer 

 varieties for the fruit grower and the Black Russian Cherry 

 is an outstanding example. In tree habit it is a vigorous 

 grower, very hardy and highly productive. The tree under 

 his conditions has shown no injury at temperatures of lo to 

 20 degrees below zero, nor has late spring frosts during 

 bloom period afliected the crop materially. The fruit is med- 

 ium in size, and does not crack or show tendency to brown 

 rut before picking. The fruit is very dark in color being al- 

 most black. Flesh leaves pit readily. The flavor is distinc- 

 tice, aromatic and delightful. We recommend this new cherry 

 for trial in all sections where sweet cherries can be grown. 

 We reserve right to limit quantities. Same price as other 

 sweet cherries. Ripens just before Schmidts.

 attractive color. Fine quality, resembles Lambert in color 

 and size.

 VSrini^l 1 cherries tested at the N. Y. Station grounds in 

 the past 20 years, it is one of the best for an extra early 

 black market cherry. Ripens a week before Black Tartarian.
