CHERRIES 
Early Richmond Cherry 
Cherries 
The following Cherries: Early Richmond, 
English Morello, Mount Morency, priced and 
described by us are the best of the pie cherries. 
These are the kind that are grown so extensively 
throughout the country for canning and pie 
making and are also excellent to eat from the 
tree. They do best on well drained soil. They 
have proven very profitable in many parts of 
southern South Dakota. Very productive. 
Early Richmond—More extensively planted 
than all others. Fruit ripens in a shorter period 
than the other cherries, and on that account is 
not bothered so much by the birds. 
English Morello—Late, large, black. Very 
hardy in fruit bud. Excellent for canning. Do 
not plant above cherries north of Huron, S. D. 
Mt. Morency—Large red, rich, acid, very 
hardy and productive. Similar to the Early 
Richmond, but ripens two weeks later.

Sweet Cherries 
Gold Cherry—This variety is the only one of 
the sweet cherries that has proven hardy here 
at Yankton and lias come through several winters 
without winter killing. It has proved productive. 
This cherry is large, rich, yellow, very sweet, 
meaty, high quality, and hardiest of any of the 
sweet cherries. 3-5 ft., each, 60c; 5 for $2.60. 
Black Tartarian— Fruit very large, purplish 
black, very sweet, high quality. Tree vigorous, 
upright grower. Immense bearers. A fine 
market sort. If you wish to test out a Sweet 
Cherry, this is the best variety to try. 3-4 
ft., each, 60c; 5 for $2.75. 
Compass Cherry 
This tree produces first year after planting. 
The Compass Cherry ripens at a time when 
none of the Prof. Hansen plums are ripening 
and for that reason it will always be retained 
on the fruit list. Do not understand by this 
that the Compass Cherry is only valuable be¬ 
cause it fills in a space. It has a different flavor, 
is one of the very best for canning purposes. 
Size Each Per 5 Per 10 Per 50 
2-4 ft.30c $1.40 $2.70 $12.50 
4-6 ft.45c 2.10 4.00 18.00 
Tom Thumb Cherry 
This seems to be a favorite in the north. We 
have wonderful reports as to their pro¬ 
ductiveness, as well as hardiness and high 
quality from planters in North Dakota and 
Canada. People who want either the Tom 
Thumb cherries or the Oka will have to order 
early, as they are not going to last thru the 
season. The Tom Thumb cherry should 
always be grown in bush form. It grows just 
the right height, so that snowdrifts will pro¬ 
tect them. They bear heavy crops of dark 
delicious fruit with a rich red flesh, excellent 
for canning as well as eating. Each, 40c; per 
5, $1.85; per 10, $3.50. 
OKA Cherry 
An unusually hardy Cherry, excellent in both 
the South and as far North as you wish to plant. 
Skin black, flesh red. Very attractive fruit, 
heavy bearer, and produces large quantities of 
fruit first year after planting. Tree of bushy 
habit. We have never received a complaint 
regarding this tree. A favorite here at Yankton. 
Our Canadian friends are planting large quan¬ 
tities of them. Fruit will dry on trees like prunes 
if given a chance. They are, however, of high 
quality and very tempting. Each, 40c; 5 for 
$1.85; 10 for $3.50; 25 for $7.00. 
OTHER HARDY FRUITS 
Choke Cherry 
This is one of the best of our ornamental 
fruit trees. Absolutely hardy anywhere. Always 
symmetrical, and when in full bloom is a great 
bank of snow with the added beauty of its nutty 
woodland fragrance, and later its rich, highly 
colored, purplish-black fruit. Our western 
dwarf varieties exceed all others in quality of 
fruit. Especially fine for jelly and jam. 
Size Each Per 5 Per 10 Per 50 
2 to 3 ft . 25c $1.00 $1.75 $ 7.50 
3 to 4 ft.35c 1.50 2.75 13.00 
Hansen’s Improved Sand Cherry — Won¬ 
derful improvement over the common native 
sand cherry of western South Dakota. Some¬ 
thing that is worth while in every garden. The 
fruit is larger and of excellent quality. Should 
be grown in bush form. Makes an excellent 
division hedge between the garden and yard. 
Produces fruit the first year after planting. 
1 yr.: 12c each; 5 for 55c; 10 for $1.00; 
50 for $4.50. 2 yr.: 20c each; 10 for $1.50. 
Russian Mulberry 
The Mulberry is useful as a shade tree, for 
hedge purposes, and for the immense quantity 
of fruit borne by it. We are listing the Russian 
Mulberry only, as it is the hardiest of all. The 
fruit varies in color from jet black to a pure 
white and is excellent for canning with tart 
fruits like gooseberries, currants and plums. 
It is delicious to eat direct from the trees. They 
make an excellent ornamental hedge that will 
stand trimming.
