Sapa— A Popular Cherry 
ber of years ago by Professor N. E. Hansen, Sapa has be' 
come very widely planted. One fruit farm starting with a 
half dozen trees has increased their plantings until they now 
have over 3000 Sapa Cherries in bearing. They find ready 
sale for the fruit on account of its splendid quality which is 
unexcelled for canning, for sauce and jams and for eating out 
of hand. Their increased plantings were in response to the 
increased demand for the fruit which sells readily at 6c a 
pound. 
Beautiful Wine-Red Color—Excellent Quality. Sapa is a 
large sized hybrid cherry with small pit. It is purple-red out' 
side and wine'red inside, thin skinned and of delicious flavor. 
The dark wine'colored flesh makes a most attractive sauce 
or preserve. 
Fruits at 2 Years Old. The Sapa forms fruit buds on one 
year old wood. Thus it is that Sapa can bear the next year 
after planting in the orchard, and it is this same reason that 
makes it a good annual fruiter. 
Hardy—Easy to Grow. Sapa is very hardy and thrives over a 
wide range. It is best practice to grow Sapa as a large bush and keep 
them pruned more severely than most fruit trees. Cut out the older 
growth and encourage growth of new shoots that will set fruit regu¬ 
larly and heavily. The Compass Pollenator described below should 
be included in Sapa plantings. 
Sapa will please you with its early bearing, high color and de¬ 
licious flavor. 
k| nu . AL This is another hybrid cherry recently 
new v*»nerry introduced by Professor Hansen. It is 
somewhat similar in general habit and fruit to Sapa. Oka is very 
hardy and adapted to a wide range. It should be grown in bush 
form as suggested for Sapa. 
The fruit is a rich purple'red color both outside and inside, a 
delicious flavor and the tree is immensely productive. It produces 
fruit buds the second season and fruits regularly. Oka is gaining 
favor rapidly and is pleasing all who plant it. For best results include 
the Compass Pollenator with Oka plantings. 
POLLENATOR CHERRIES 
has proven to be the most satisfactory pollenator 
r u for Sapa and Oka Cherries. It is a very hardy tree 
and thrives in nearly any sort of location. The fruit is especially good 
for jams, jellies and for canning. 
Compass is an early fruiter, bearing the second year. It is indis' 
pensable as a pollenator for Sapa and Oka. Plant a Compass in every 
group and in large plantings at least 1 Compass to 8 or 10 Sapa or 
Oka.

HOME GROWN 
Plums and Cherries 
Cut Grocery Bills and 
Promote Health 
A family size assortment can provide 
you with an abundance of fresh fruit over 
quite a long season. The different varieties 
will be ripening from the fore part of Aug' 
ust to the middle of September. You can 
have all you wish to eat fresh, to can, and 
for jelly and jam. Plenty of canned fruits 
and jellies cut grocery bills. 
EASY TO GROW. Any reasonably 
good garden soil is suitable. Cherries and 
plums often thrive on soil where apples 
fail. Follow directions which will be sent 
with the stock and you can be sure of 
success. 
QUICK TO BEAR. You don’t have to 
wait a long time for these trees to bear. 
Under ordinary conditions you get some 
fruit the second season, with increasing 
quantities thereafter. 
DELICIOUS JAM RECIPE. Cover 
plums with water, add lJ/2 teaspoon soda, 
boil till skins break, drain through coland¬ 
er, remove pits. Add sugar pound for 
pound. To a moderate sized kettleful, add 
one tablespoonful of vinegar, boil until 
thick. Put in jars and seal.
