HARDY RED CHERRIES 
They stand more dry weather than any other fruit tree! 
PRODUCTIVE EVERYWHERE—Drought Resistant 
Cherries are our most dry weather resisting 4 trees. They come into bearing young 4 , 
make a crop every year and do better without attention than any other fruit tree. 
They will grow most anywhere in the U. S. Our Farm Belt soils are just what cherry 
trees need for thrifty, vigorous growth. 
Even as dry as it was last year, cherries produced a wonderful crop everywhere. 
These fine hardy Red Cherries are the country’s leading varieties. 
There is nothing finer than a good cherry pie made with fresh cherries. Can lots 
of them for winter use; use them fresh for sauce; preserve them too. 
Large Montmorency—The Big Red Cherry 
These are genuine LARGE Montmorencies. Large size fruit and the 
tree is a very strong grower. Wherever a space of 10 to 20 feet is avail¬ 
able, you can plant Montmorency. Montmorency is the perfect variety 
for pies, preserves and puddings. 
They are refreshing;, luscious, hardy, and sure bearers. A Mont¬ 
morency when fully ripe is really sweet. Canning factories through¬ 
out the country prefer Montmorency and pay top prices for them. It 
ripens 8 to 10 days after Early Richmond. 
English Morello—The Black Cherry 
This is the big, dark, wine-red Cherry. Wine rich in flavor, too. It 
comes on after Montmorency is done. A great canning variety, richly 
flavored with that tart, sub-acid, deep red juice. Wonderful for pre¬ 
serving, too. 
Earl 
y Richmond—First in the Spring 
Richmond for your early' crop of Cherries ar 
Plant Early Richmond for your early' crop of Cherries and Mont¬ 
morency for a crop a week or ten days later. Early Richmond is a sure 
bearer; has fine flavor, juicy and extremely hardy. The fruit Is round 
and dark red: the flesh, very tender and meaty'. Also known as the 
early red pie Cherry. _ _ _ 
Yellow Glass—Sweet Cherry 
The above 
The original Yellow Glass tree is standing right here in Shenandoah 
on one of my places. Bud stocks are taken from this tree each year 
so you get genuine original tree bud selection when you purchase Yel¬ 
low Glass from me. Never has failed to provide a crop of waxy, golden 
cherries for the past 10 years. The tree is as beautiful as any shade 
tree. Gets about 30 feet ih height and is simply loaded with those 
sweet flavored, golden yellow, solid color Cherries.' The famous Yellow 
Glass is hardy everywhere south of Ames, Iowa. Try it.

APPLES ONLY ONE YEAR AFTER PLANTING 
ANOKA—Earliest Bearing Apple 
PLANT 1937 
1938 
Will have some Apples one 
year after planting. 
This is the earliest and heaviest bearing 
Apple we know of. Anoka has a record of 
bearing 8 big crops of Apples from a tree 
only 10 years old. Being perfectly hardy 
In all climates, there’s a big demand for 
Anoka. It was originated in the Dakotas 
where temperatures get way down to 35 
degrees below zero. You. get lots of Apples 
quickly when you plant Anoka. 
Last year my stocks of Anoka were gone 
before planting time and those who did not 
order early were disappointed. Get your 
IOqq Only two years after planting 
I *7 O r you get a big full crop. 
order in to me this year right away for 
your Anoka Apples so we will be able to 
take care of you at planting time. Orders 
for this wonderful Apple are booked in ro¬ 
tation as received as long as stock lasts. 
the fruit is large, yellow and red 
streaked, of excellent quality, juicy and 
rich in flavor. It ripens in August but can 
be used several weeks before fully ripe. 
Unequalled for both cooking and eating. 
Remember it bears a big full crop only 2 
years after planting. 
RED CORTLAND 
A fitting companion to Anoka as Cort¬ 
land also comes Into bearing very early. 
We have known of many trees producing 
fruit 2 years after being planted. The 
fruit is somewhat similar to McIntosh but 
I believe of better quality. It’s a beautiful 
dark red; the flesh being fine grained, 
crisp, juicy, white and firm. You are sure 
of a crop of Apples every year from Cort¬ 
land. Order and plant this spring, 1937; 
some apples on In 1938, and heavy bear¬ 
ing in 1939. A great record-yielding tree.
