TREES 



Our Sweet Cherries Are Fine This Year 



SWEET 



CHERRY TREES 



NOTE — Sweet Cherries bear heavier and more I'egular where 

 properly cross pollinated and two or more varieties should be 

 planted together. 



Again note that Napoleon, Bing, Lambert and Emperor 

 Francis are incompatible and a third variety should be plant- 

 ed 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 variations.

NOTE: One year old sweet cherry are generally preferred 

 for large orchard plantings. We have some of the finest 

 one year old sweet cherry we have ever grown this year. See 

 photographs elsewhere in this catalogue. They just cannot 

 be beaten for quality stock. 



Write for special prices if you are intereseted in large 

 quantities. We will give you the advantage of any market 

 changes if you do this. 



QFWPr^fl Ripens two weeks before Black Tartarian. 

 ijLiLHLM\^£\ The Cherries resemble those of Black Tar- 

 tarian — large, round-cordate, purplish black, wath juicy melt- 

 ing flesh and a rich sweet flavor ; the pit is free and the skin 

 does not crack. The tree is vigorous, productive, and has 

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

 Agricultural Experiment Station. 



PllRTV "RIVFRQ This fine cherry highly regarded 

 En/^rilj 1 ni V l_iU^ 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. 



SCHRECKEN BIGGAREAU im?s"\\?^''r 



little later in season and has a longer stem and a more oval 

 stone. It is a large heart-shaped, glossy black cherry, hand- 

 some in appearance. The flesh is melting but firmer than 

 the early-ripening sweets, and is full of aromatic dark-color- 

 ed juice. The season approximates that of Black Tartarian 

 but the larger size of the fruit and the firmer flesh make the 

 variety much more valuable than Black Tartarian. The tree 

 is vigorous and productive. 1 year trees only. 



"RTMr** This valuable black cherry succeeds everywhere. 

 Dil^V^ Flesh very solid, flavor of the highest quality, a 

 fine shipping and market variety. July.

 very resistant against insect and fungus attacks.

 V^lr^lN 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.

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 15 to 

 20 degrees below zero, nor has late spring frosts during 

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

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

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

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

 tive, 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. 



T VOWQ Introduced in 1911 by Luther Burbank. Tree 

 La LKJmij ig large, vigorous and very productive. Ripens 

 just before Lambert, resistant to cracking, large size and 

 attractive color. Fine quality, resembles Lambert in color 

 and size. 



COMMENT 



Observations covering several years in many sweet 

 cherrv sections lead us to place EARLY RIVERS — 

 SCHRECKEN BIGGEREAU — WINDSOR — EMPEROR 

 FRANCIS and BLACK RUSSIAN on the preferred list be- 

 cause of their all around qualities. They are listed in 

 order of ripening and it would be hard to find anything 

 better in sweet cherries.
