Fraser's Cherries on Mazzard roots will live. 
CHERRIES 
For our Eastern conditions, Sweet Cherries should be grown on Mazzard 
roots, that is, our wild black sweet cherry. Many are propagated on Ma- 
haleb roots and in the main these die when the trees are about 10 or 12 years 
old or earlier. 
SWEET CHERRIES 
We offer the following varieties, one year old and two year old trees, on 
Mazzard roots. 
Two years old 11 /16 in. 
One year old 4 ft. to 5 ft. 
$1.00 each; $6.00 for 10; $50.00 a 100. 
BING —Takes high rank in the West. Fruit very large, dark red, almost 
black, very good quality, good shipper. Midseason or later. Tree large, vigor¬ 
ous, productive. 
BLACK TARTARIAN —An excellent early black cherry for home use and 
nearby markets, and of great value as a pollinizer. Fruit medium size, dark- 
red flesh, juicy, very good quality. Tree fruitful, healthy, robust, long-lived. 
GOVERNOR WOOD —An early yellow cherry for home use and nearby 
markets. Fruit yellow with red blush, soft, not a good shipper, apt to crack, 
subject to brown rot. Tree fastidious as to soil, somewhat tender to cold 
otherwise vigorous and bears early. 
LAMBERT —One of the best and most regular in bearing. Fruit midseason, 
dark red, meaty, juicy, very good flavor, good size. Tree vigorous, hardy, 
healthy. We value this variety highly. It must not be harvested too soon. 
NAPOLEON, ROYAL ANNE —The leading white sweet cherry for home 
use and canning. Fruit midseason, pale-yellow with red cheek, large, hand¬ 
some, high quality, firm flesh. Tree bears early, hardy, healthy, upright grow¬ 
er. Fruit apt to crack in wet weather. 
SCHMIDT —A leading commercial, large, dark red, almost black cherry with 
crisp, firm, juicy flesh of excellent flavor. Free from brown rot and excellent 
for market. Tree vigorous, healthy, productive but with us has been some¬ 
what tardy in 'coming into good bearing. 
WINDSOR —One of the most profitable sweet cherries for home and market 
use. Fruit large, black red, very good quality, midseason to late, ships well, 
not subject to brown rot. Tree one of the hardiest and least fastidious in soil 
requirements, upright grower. 
YELLOW SPANISH —Resembles Napoleon somewhat but the fruit is less 
pointed, and often not quite so large, but is of excellent quality. Tree vigor¬ 
ous, one of the largest, bears early and abundantly. 
There are many more varieties of cherries, some of them of decided merit 
for home use. We have described 48 varieties in “American Fruits.” 
SOUR CHERRIES 
For home use the three varieties Early Richmond, Montmorency and English 
Morello will assure a continuous supply for fully 8 weeks. 
EARLY RICHMOND is the leading early commercial sour cherry, and thrives 
over a large area of the United States. The fruit is of fair quality, medium 
size and does not ship well. 
MONTMORENCY —The most popular cherry in America, used largely for 
canning and cold pack. The fruit is medium to large in size, light to dark red 
in color and yellow flesh and ships well. The tree is vigorous, healthy and 
productive. 
ENGLISH MORELLO —The standard late sour cherry for home use, market, 
canning and cold pack. Fruit dark red to black with red flesh, hangs well, 
good shipper. Tree is small, round headed, drooping, needs to be closely plant¬ 
ed to secure tonnage per acre. 
The Tree’s work is to “bottle” sunshine.
