v) NEW! HARDY APRICOTS FROM MINNESOTA 
_ Imagine apricots so hardy they thrive in the cold climate of Minnesota. These two new varieties were 
‘released by the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station in 1961 and have proven their ability to 
‘produce fine crops of delicious, beautiful apricots in an area with winter temperatures down to 30° below 
zero.’ MOONGOLD and SUNGOLD produce trees about 10 to 12 ft. tall and are ideal for home gardens. 
‘Both varieties should be planted for proper pollination. 
PRICE OF 2 TREES (2 to 3-ft. size): One MOONGOLD and one SUNGOLD, $7.25 plus postage. 
Meontmorency SOUR CHERRY 
For commercial plantings as well as home use Montmorency is by far the leading variety of sour

| of the excellent virus-free strain that is exceptionally vigorous and productive. 
Well-rooted 2-yr. trees, 3 to 4-ft. tall, $2.75 each; 5 or more, $1.95 each.
