 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 vig- 

 orous grower, very hardy and highly productive. The tret' 

 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 cher-

November, 1959 

 Dear Sir: 



This is to acknowledge the arrival of the berry bushes in 

 perfect condition, also the Birch trees. Even my neighbors 

 marveled at their fullness and size. I am perfectly satisfied 

 with everything I have received thus far. Remember me on 

 your 1900 catalog.
