ZUMBRA CHERRY— A low growing tree, vigorous and 
.very productive, showing the characteristic profuse bearing 
habits of the sand cherry crosses. The fruit reaches one inch 
in diameter and is borne in thick, rope-like clusters along the 
slender branches of last year’s wood. Color very dark, nearly 
black when ripe; flesh firm, greenish, sometimes tinged with 
red when fully matured; stones small, free; quality good with 
a flavor resembling its sweet cherry parent. One of the most 
promising of the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm productions. 
Nicollet Cherry —The nearest approach to the true sour 
cherry, that has been produced in the Northwest. The tree is 
small, bush-like, hardy except in 
Northern portions, fruit is small, 
roundish, oval. Skin thin, medium 
tough, color dull cherry red, flesh! 
greenish yellow, tender, juicy, mildly 
sour, cherry-like in flavor and texture, 
quality good. Season, August. 
i Opata —This is Sioux Indian for “bouquet” and is the 
first of the plums of the Sand Cherry Cross to ripen. At bloom - 
ing time it is a gigantic bouquet of white flowers of the most 
exquisite fragrance. It blooms just a little later than the Am¬ 
erican plum and escapes the frost danger that so often gets 
the crop of wild plums. The Opatai is a Sand Cherry Cross. 
The wild sand cherries of the Dakotas with the Gold Plum of 
California. The trees of the Sand Cherries Crosses should be 
^rown as bushes, not trees, for the reason that you can grow 
twice as much fruit and one or two years earlier by letting 
them branch from the ground, than they will if you make them 
in tree form, and they are much longer lived in bush form.
