Cherries 
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 regularly and heavily. The 
Compass Pollinizer described below should be included in 
Sapa plantings. 
/"\L_ This is another hybrid Cherry recently intro' 
V^Ka V^fierry juced by Professor Hansen. 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. 
POLLINIZER CHERRIES 
ComDflCC has P roven to b e the most satisfactory pollinizer 
'r 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.

CHERRIES 
North Dakota No. I 
Offered for the First Time 
A true pie Cherry, hardy enough to 
stand the rigorous climate at Fargo, North 
Dakota, where it was originated by Dr. A. 
F. Yeager. He says: “The North Dakota 
No. 1 Cherry is a sour Cherry, resembling 
Early Richmond, though somewhat smaller 
in size. In our cooking tests, we consider 
the quality of the fruit very good." 
We have only a very few North Dakota 
No. 1 to offer this season—while they last, 
$1.00 each for thrifty one-year branched 
trees about two feet high. 
Mordena Cherry 
Originated at Morden Experiment Sta¬ 
tion, 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 Da¬ 
kota Agricultural College, says: “Cooper 
is a seedling of Compass Cherry, and the 
plant resembles Compass 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 anything I could 
compare it to.” Stock very limited.
