peach. Don’t forget this one, order at least two, and so early, 
ns there is always a rush for it, everybody wants it. 
EMBER. So named because of its glowing color. Yellow 
flesh, juicy, tender, sweet, pleasant, ripe in mid-September. 
Absolutely a top-notcher. 10c above other plum prices. If 
other varieties are wanted write us. 
COMPASS, ilso called a cherry, as it is a plum-cherry hybrid. 
This is well-known as a heavy bearing tree, although for 
really good cherries, we heartily and unhesitatingly recom¬ 
mend Tom Thumb and Oka cherries. The Compass cherry 
should be used as a pollenizer for Tom Thumb and Oka, using 
one tree to six or eight of either variety. 
CHERRIES ^ 
Ordinary type cherries are not sufficiently hardy, so the 
Northern planter is strongly advised to plant the two vari¬ 
eties below. These are not make-shifts, but of high quality, 
large size and bear the year after planting. These should be 
grown in bush form, which is really their natural form, this 
makes greater hardiness, much closer spacing than ordinary 
cherries. Highly recommended for city lots, where room is 
often at a premium. Last spring, one lady bought a ^ small 
plant from us, and found that it borne a small quantity of 
fruit the first season, and seeing and examining them, she 
exclaimed, “Why, they’re just like the cherries in the stores.

cherry, regardless. But plant enough of them.
