CHERRIES 
that bear young 
and abundantly 
A good, healthy fruit, liked by most everybody. They will 
thrive most anywhere, except on very wet land. A side hill, 
even if steep, will do, and on such the Cherry will probably 
bring better returns than any other crop. I prefer upland to 
bottoms. Plant in rows 20 feet each way. 
EARLY RICHMOND 
SWEET CHERRIES 
"Rlanl?- HP a V+ q T’i q n Hardy in the Great Lakes region, the 
AJlctiLJA. A ctl bctl ictli eastern states, and the southern half 
of Nebraska. Fruit large, purplish black of finest quality, and 
the tree bears well. Wherever Black Tartarian is not hardy 
there is no use trying another Heart Cherry.

SOUR CHERRIES 
Vollnur fi.lq go Fruit large, golden yellow. Very firm. 
iciitJW wtctoo juicy and sweet, good quality. Blooms late 
and does fairly good in Nebraska; it is, however, not as hardy 
as sour cherries. Birds hardly ever bother Yellow Cherries. 
These are hardy, producing crops more regular than any other 
fruit tree. A few Sour Cherries will be your surest source of ri AXTT\TiDTiri CPD >0 GTXT - TP VT CIIPT?D"V

"Enrlv "RlVhmrmrl (May Cherry.) Very hardy and pro- 
Ajctliy AvILIlIIiUIlU. ductive. This is the most common 
light red early Cherry, nice size, and good quality. Early Rich¬ 
mond and Montmorency make the finest Cherry combination 
for a long bearing season in the Middle West. Ripens in June. 
T.nvrro TVTnn+mrkVOYimr Large, red, rich and containing 
AjcUge lYlUniniUieilLy very little acid. Very hardy and 
productive. Ripening about 10 days after Early Richmond; 
the two planted together make a Cherry season of almost a 
month, giving you the fruit fresh, besides plenty to can. 
Montmorency is the leader in the western parts of Nebraska 
and Kansas, and eastern Colorado. But wherever you live, if 
you buy a Montmorency Cherry tree from me I know you are 
going to be pleased, and it won’t take very many years before 
you know that you have a mighty fine tree. 
TVTrkPoIln Hardy as far north as the middle of 
OllU Nebraska. The fruit is large, dark 
black, tender, juicy, the quality is good. As it ripens 
late, it is a favorite for late canning. The tree grows spread¬ 
ing. I cannot recommend it for the North. 
flc+VlPimPr Large, heart shaped, nearly black when ripe, 
\J oullC 1111CJ. juicy and rich. Fine for dessert and cooking; 
not very sour. Blooms late and ripens middle of July when 
cherries are getting scarce. 
"Wvnrrrr This is the Cherry for the Northwest and West, size 
W •*■“'&& medium to large, dark red, good quality, somewhat 
like English Morello. Tree is a healthy, vigorous grower, mak¬ 
ing a spreading round top. I recommend it especially for West¬ 
ern Nebraska and Colorado. Ripens in July. 
New Improved Montmorency ££ L?™ e n x a c Ue r nt 
crops for the last 25 years. The Cherry is even larger than 
the Montmorency; bears exceptionally well. I have a small 
supply of these new trees. Add 10c per tree to prices quoted. 
English 
red, nearly 
Originated here in Southeastern Nebraska. The cherry is al¬ 
most black when fully ripe, large, very meaty, juicy and sweet, 
although it is not a Heart Cherry. The tree is perfectly hardy 
here, while Heart Cherries are not dependable in Nebraska 
and north of here. This tree is of vigorous, upright growth 
with large leaves. The dark colored fruit is of fancy eating 
quality, and excellent for canning. Ripens shortly after Early 
Richmond. Wherever Heart Cherries are not a success plant 
this cherry for a good all-purpose Sweet Cherry. Add 10c per 
tree to the prices of Sweet Cherries. 
COMPASS 
CHERRY PLUM 
A cross between the Sand 
Cherry and Minor Plum, origi¬ 
nated in Springfield, Minn. 
Fruit nearly an inch in diam¬ 
eter, bright red, sweet and 
juicy, and of very fine flavor. 
It looks more like a plum than 
a cherry. Wherever it is hard 
to raise fruit of any kind try 
Compass Cherry Plum, you will 
like it. Bears young and well, 
is absolutely hardy. But wher¬ 
ever you can grow such Cher¬ 
ries as Montmorency, and such 
Plums as the Hansen varieties, 
I think the Compass Cherry 
Plum would be less desirable. 
The others would make you a 
little better quality of fruit. 1 
can furnish the trees from 2 to 5 
feet high; prices same as of 
Plums, page 8. 
Planting 
Instructions 
Never use manure 
or other fertilizer 
when you plant. If 
there is a shelf of 
Gumbo or Rock be¬ 
low the top-soil such 
a layer of unpen¬ 
etrable material 
should be cut or 
bored through to al¬ 
low roots and mois¬ 
ture to enter the sub¬ 
soil.
