TREES 



Sweet Clierries Are Consistent Money Makers For The Grower 



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 Napoleon, Bing, I^ambert 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.

BLACK RUSSIAN 



One of Our Finest New Hardy Sweet Cherries 



A new sAveet 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 flavor 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.
