Montmorency SOUR CHERRY 



MONTMORENCY 



For coininercial plantinj^s as well as home use Moiitinoreiiey 

 is by far the leadiiij;- variety of sour cherry. The fruit are large, 

 lirm, and have a beautiful brii^ht red color. If allowed to ripen 

 thoroujihly on the tree so that a darker red color is developed, 

 the quality will be greatly increased. This will result in much 

 better preserves, pies, and other products. Fruit first ripens in 

 early July and can be kept on the tree about a month. 



Trees of this variety are very hardy and consistently i)roduce 

 big crops because they are self-fertile. 



Rayner's stock of Montmorency is of the excellent Dayton 

 strain which has been found to be outstanding for vigor, produc- 

 tion, fruit size, and quality. 



Well rooted 2 yr. trees, 8-4 ft. tall ate $1.95 each; five or 

 more $1.65 each. See Page 19 for Postal Kates. 



BUSH CHERRY 



For locations where space is at a premium the Hansen Bush 

 Clierry is very desirable. It has a bush-like type of grow^th and 

 produces lots of sour cherries that are very good for cooking pur- 

 poses. The cherries are similar to Montmorency but not as large. 

 The early spring bloom makes Hansen's Bush Cherry an attractive 

 flowering shrub as well as a producer of nice cherries. Field- 

 grown transplants 18-24 mches tall $1.10 each; 3 for $2.75. 



PLUMS, PRUNES, 



STANLEY PRUNE 



It is our opinion that a ripe Stanley prune 

 is one of the finest of all fruit. These prune- 

 plums are large and have a fine blue color and 

 a golden-yellow flesh when full ripe. The trees 

 are hardy and very vigorous. A fine tree for 

 any home garden. 



Well-rooted 2 year trees 3-4 ft. $2.15 each. 



ITALIAN PRUNE 



Another excellent prune-plum is the Italian 

 nr Fellemburg variety. Its fruit is dark pur- 

 ple and of large size. The flesh is yellowish 

 and juicy, with a fine flavor when ripe. This 

 variety is very vigorous and will give good re- 

 sults in a wide range of soils. 



Two year trees, nicely rooted, 3-4 ft. $2.15 ea. 

 SHROPSHIRE DAMSON 



If you want those famous old-fashioned dam- 

 soni preserves the Shropshire variety is best. 

 The deep-blue fruit are produced in great 

 abundance and when fully ripe are also nice 

 for fresh eating. But in preserves they are 

 outstanding. This variety is very vigorous 

 and hardy. 



Two year trees, 3-4 ft. $2.15 each.

This fine reddish-purple jilum is of large 

 size and has bright red flesh. It is excellent 

 when fully ripe having a very distinctive, 

 sweet flavor. The trees are vigorous and give 

 good crops eacli year. Methley is an excellent 

 Oriental plum for home gardens and commerc- 

 ial plantings.

ABUNDANCE PLUM 



This excellent Oriental plum produces fine 

 red fruit with yellow flesh. They are juicy

 variety and produces very good yields. The 

 trees are vigorous and have a rounded shape.
