OKA CHERRY 
From Prof. Hansen, the Plant Wizard of South Dakota 
The trees are perfectly hardy in North and South Dakota, Wisconsin, 
North Michigan, and all over Minnesota, wherever the hardy fruits 
can be grown. 
The trees begin to bear as two-year-olds right in the nursery rows and properly fertilized 
will bear heavy crops every year. The fruit is round, averages l '/4 inches in diameter, is black 
on the outside with a rich juicy red'purple flesh that is very sweet. 
The trees are small, so small in fact, that 6 
or more can be grown in a back yard, interfer- 
ing little with other things. Being a sand cherry 
hybrid it requires some other plum to fertilize 
its blossoms so that it will bear fruit.

OKA— The Best of All 
Hardy Sweet Cherries 
All who have had the pleasure of eat' 
ing this wonderful new plum-cherry hybrid 
are perfectly agreed that it’s the sweetest 
and finest of all hardy cherries. 
In 1932 Oka Cherry was the only new 
fruit added by the Minnesota State Horti¬ 
cultural Society to its fruit list for planting 
all over the state. 
We find the Rocky Mountain Cherry best for 
fertilizing purposes. One Rocky Mountain 
Cherry should be purchased to go with each 6 
Oka Cherry trees. 
OKA CHERRY 
is beginning to be 
planted by orchardists 
in large quantities and is proving profitable in a 
commercial way. Large fruit growing on small 
trees makes easy picking.

The New 
RHUBARB 
McDONALD. A new and select strain of 
Rhubarb or Pieplant developed and sent 
out from the Experimental Station of the 
Dominion of Canada. McDonald is un¬ 
usually high in sugar content for a Rhu¬ 
barb which causes a great saving in sugar 
in its cooking. It is also an unusually 
fine flavored Rhubarb which makes it 
very desirable. Usable over a long period 
of time. Makes a fine pink sauce of finest 
flavor. Strong roots, 50c each; 6 for 
$ 2.75, postpaid. 
RUBY. Another fine Rhubarb from the 
Canadian Station. Ruby, like McDonald, 
is very high in sugar content, and is of 
exceptionally fine flavor but differs from 
that variety in color. McDonald is a 
green stemmed sort with a good deal of 
red veining running through it while 
Ruby is a deep rich ruby red, the reddest 
of all Rhubarb. It makes a deep rich red 
sauce which is very beautiful and tasty. 
Strong roots, 50c each; 6 for $2.75, post¬ 
paid. 
ROCKY 
MOUNTAIN 
CHERRY 
Rocky Mountain Cherry is a small bush 
cherry growing wild in the western Da¬ 
kotas. In the natural state the fruit is about 
Zl in. in diameter. Under cultivation and 
selected out for the best varieties it grows 
larger and many of these selected varieties 
make a fine fruit for jams and jellies. The 
bushes grow to a height of 4 to 6 feet and 
are just black with fruit. It makes a great 
fruit for the children to run to. Some 
companies sell the bushes for hedge pur¬ 
poses. It is a perfect fertilizer for the 
OKA Cherry. 
Nice 12 to 18 in. bushes, 8 for #1.00; 
select bushes, 18 to 24 in. 35c each; 4 
for #1.00. 2 to 3 ft., 50c; 2 for 75c. 
Nanking Cherries 
NANKING CHERRY 
(Prunus Tomentosa) 
Something entirely new. A very ornamental spreading 
shrub or low growing tree (can be kept in either form), 
covered in early spring before the leaves appear with 
masses of bloom. Pink in bud, the tiny flowers open a 
pure white and the contrast between white petals and 
bright red calyx is very noticeable. The short-stemmed 
cherry-like fruit, a rich scarlet, ripens in June and is both 
good to eat and very decorative. It makes a beautiful 
shrub to plant where an early blooming large shrub is de¬ 
sired and it produces in abundance a crop of delicious fruit 
good to eat from the hand, that makes beautiful rich red 
jellies and jams, and a good wine. 
Selected strain: 18 to 24 in., 40c; 6 for #2.10. 2 to 3 ft., 
60c; 6 for #3.30. 3 to 4 ft., 75c; 6 for #4.20.
