35 years of experiments and 
efforts by Prof. N. E. Hansen, 
S. Dak. State College, originator of 
the Anoka Apple and many other 
fine new fruits, produced this new 
quick-bearing bush-Cherry, which is 
one of the finest. Our stock of the 
Cherries was secured direct from 
the originator, Prof. N. E. Hansen. ■

This new Bush Cherry combines two useful 
qualities—both in one plant. You can now have 
a beautiful ornamental hedge, single specimens 
or a group planting, which also produces deli' 
cious, wholesome fruit. Hansen’s New Bush 
Cherry is beautiful and outstanding during the 
entire growing season, as to foliage, flowers and 
form. In the early spring this dwarf, symmetric 
cal bush is a mass of beautiful snow'white flow' 
ers, covering the entire bush. 
This shrub grows rapidly and fruits quickly in any 
soil. Withstands heat, drought or cold. Requires very 
little room, and often bears more fruit than a Plum 
tree. Can be planted as closely as 4x6 feet. Grows 
only 4 to 5 feet high—3- to 4'foot spread. 
The foliage, which is beautifully silvery'green, turns 
to rich red and gold in the fall. This Bush Cherry is 
beautiful even without flowers.
