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, 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.

~ BLACK RUSSIAN 
One of Our Finest New Hardy Sweet Cherries 
A new sweet cherry which came 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 distine- 
tive. aromatic and delightful. We recommend this new cherry. 
Ripens just before Schmidts.
