Collection of Hardy Novelties 
Rocky Mountain Cherry. SrAST 
One of the greatest novelties in the fruit line ever introduced. 
It bears every year and is as prolific as a current bush, 16 
quarts having been picked from a three year old tree. Grows 
to a height of four feet and has never been affected by insects, 
black knot or other disease. The fruit is a rich red and 
changes to almost black when ripe, of good size fine flavor 
and unsurpassed for preserves or eating from the hand; 
season of ripening being after all others are gone. In 
flavor it is akin to the sweet cherries, and has no equal in 
the line of pitted fruits, and is conceded superior to 
any fruit grown in this section. Mail size, postpaid, 
15c. each; 4 for 50c.; 18 24-inch., 20c.; 3 For 50c; 
$1.75 per doz., express or freight. 
Compass Cherry. A ™ y he re h VrV- 
ginator's description: "This cherry was originated 
at Springfield, Minn. It is a cross between the Sand 
Cherry and the Miner Plum. Nearly an inch in 
diameter, a bright red, sweet and juicy and of very 
fine flavor. The tree is absolutely hardy in this 
severe climate. The original tree bore fruit the third 
year from the seed and has borne a full crop every 
year since. The tree is a regular and heavy bearer, 
and produces fruit the next year after setting out. 
For exposed situations and for the north and west 
it is the cherry. Mail size, postpaid, 40c. each ;

Improved Dwarf Juneberry. f t \\\ 
is a native of Alaska, and therefore of the most iron- 
clad hardiness. It is a quick grower, forming dense 
clumps of bushes which bloom and bear heavily 
when only one or two feet in height. The berries 
are the size of ordinary cherries, being green in an. 
unripe state, changing to bright scarlet, and, when 
fully ripe, to a dark purple blue, and as the three 
colors hang in clusters upon a bush they present a 
most charming and appetizing sight. After the ber- 
ry is fully ripe it will keep on the bush in perfect 
condition for two or three weeks without decaying 
or dropping. It is exceedingly sweet and has a pecul- 
iarly rich and luseiuos flavor. Aside from its value 
as a fruit it is one of the most showy flowering shrubs, 
as it blooms very early in the spring — before leaves 
start — and every stem and branch of the bush is a 
solid wreath of delicate feathery whiteness, so 
numerous are the flowers. Mail size, postpaid, 
1 Sc. each.; 4 for 50c. 18 to 24 in. 20c. each, doz., $2.00, 
express or freight.
