Jk^Cherries 
The Cherries listed below are hardy—they will grow for you and 
bear for you because they are thriving even up in North Dakota and 
in Canada. 
The trees bear the second year and the fruit is excellent for eating 
fresh, for pies, or for canning. They are becoming popular as money- 
makers as the fruit sells readily “on the tree” at 5c to 10c a quart. 
These Cherries produce fruit buds on the one-year-old wood, hence 
the best practice is to grow them somewhat as a large bush and keep 
them pruned more severely than other fruit trees. Cut out the older 
growth and encourage growth of new shoots in order to keep up their 
vigor and obtain strong fruit buds that will set fruit regularly and 
heavily. Plant the full assortment, all are heavy croppers, and each 
one is different flavor. Include the Compass Cherry pollenizer in each 
group—1 pollenizer to 10 trees. 8 to 10 feet apart is recommended 
as best distance to set. 
SAPA. Earliest to ripen. Fruit dark purple-red outside and blood- 
red inside. Rich flavor, unequaled for sauce or jell or eating out of 
hand, an exceptionally heavy cropper—the branches often bending 
to the ground with fruit. Generally fruits the second year after 
planting in orchard. 
ZUMBRA. Originated by the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm. 
Early to fruit, and a heavy cropper, often beginning the second year 
after planting. The fruit is large, purple-skinned, with firm, crisp 
flesh. Zumbra is splendid for canning, for pies, and for eating out 
of hand. 
POLLINATOR CHERRY 
COMPASS. The old standby that has been grown in the North¬ 
west for the past forty years. An excellent fruit to can. Compass is 
an early and heavy cropper and indispensable as a pollinator for the 
Oka, Sapa and Zumbra Cherries. 
Oka Cherries. 
Oka Cherry 
Immensely productive, bearing next year 
after setting into orchard. Heavy, annual 
bearer of large, deliciously flavored fruit, 
having rich purple-red skin, flesh and juice. 
Tree is very hardy; is of dwarf habit, mak¬ 
ing it easy to gather the fruit. Generally 
fruit second year after planting.
