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 Pollinizer described below should 
be included in Sapa plantings. 
Sapa will please you with its early bearing, high color and de¬ 
licious flavor.

Offered This Year 
for the First Time 
Kim*# OLa Ckairu This is another hybrid cherry recently 
Mew VKa ^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 Pollinizer with Oka plantings. 
POLLINIZER CHERRIES 
CnmriOCC has P roven to b e the most satisfactory pollinizer 
■H 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 pollinizer 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.

Mordena Cherry 
Originated at Morden Experiment 
Station, Manitoba, Canada. The tree 
is extremely hardy and very fruitful. 
Mr. Chipman of Winnipeg writes: 
“After two of the severest winters on 
record in the Winnipeg district, the 
two Mordena trees were loaded with 
fruit to the topmost branches, eight 
feet in the air. It is a few days earlier 
to ripen and very much hardier than 
Compass. Mordena is very good for 
eating out of hand and really excellent 
for all cooking purposes.” Stock very 
limited. 
Cooper Cherry 
Prof. A. F. Yeager of the North 
Dakota Agricultural College says: 
“Cooper is a seedling of Compass 
cherry, and the plant resembles Com¬ 
pass cherry to some extent. The fruit 
is considerably larger than Compass 
cherry, round in shape and pink when 
ripe. When cooked, the thin peeling 
becomes inconspicuous so that the 
canned product resembles the white 
sweet cherry more nearly than any¬ 
thing I could compare it to.” Stock 
very limited.
