FAIRBURY NURSERIES, FAIRBURY, NEBRASKA 
Hybrid Cherry, Oka 
Introduced in the fall of 1924. This is 
not really a cherry, it is a Sand Cherry 
Hybrid, dark red flesh like Sapa plum, 
very prolific and comes into bearing the 
second year after planting. 
TOM THUMB. Another production of 
Prof. Hansen and one which is meeting with 
unusual favor in Canada. It is a cherry 
growing on a bush, and may be planted like 
currants and gooseberries. Begins to bear 
the second year and produces tremendous 
crops of cherries about the size of Compass 
but black in color and with dark red flesh 
like the Sapa. 
ZUMBRA CHUBBY. Originated in Min¬ 
nesota, is a cross of the Pin Cherry, the 
large Sweet Cherry of the west coast and 
the wild Sand Cherry of the Dakotas. It 
seems to be a happy combination as Zum- 
bra is as hardy as the Sand Cherry, grows 
like the Pin Cherry and the fruit is as 
large and as good quality as the California 
Sweet Cherry. Comes into bearing the 
next year after planting, very prolific, ma¬ 
turing large annual crops. Zumbra is 
placed on the Minnesota recommended fruit 
list as "leading variety." It ripens after 
f the sour varieties are gone. 
Compass Cherry Plum 
There should be some Compass Cherry 
Plums on every farm in the middle west. 
This fruit is hardy and is especially fine 
for preserving and canning. Fruit is bright 
red, juicy, tart flavor. When it is fully 
ripe it is a dark wine color and looks 
more like a plum than a cherry. It was 
originated by crossing the Sand Cherry 
with the Miner Plum. 
Rocky Mountain Cherry 
A native cherry of dwarfish habit, per¬ 
fectly hardy everywhere in the Northwest 
and stands coldest winters without pro¬ 
tection. Fruit about as large as Early Rich¬ 
mond, color dark brown to black. Some¬ 
what astrigent to eat from the hand, but 
cooks well and makes fine preserves and 
jellies. Very early and an abundant bearer. 
Can be planted about as close as currants. 
Very desirable in the Northwest, where bet¬ 
ter cherries cannot be grown. Ripens in 
July, after other cherries are gone. Bush 
very ornamental, leaves turn a bright scar¬ 
let before falling.

Russian Mulberry 
This tree has been planted very exten¬ 
sively in the western states for the past 
fifteen years, and we know of no other 
tree that will stand as much drought and 
neglect and yet make a good growth each 
year. 
It makes a good shade tree, holding its 
leaves late into the fall; and for a hedge, 
without thorns, it has no superior. Trees 
commence to bear at two years old; fruit 
resembles the blackberry and will ripen 
from July 1st to September.
