Cherries do well most anywhere, ex¬ 
cept on a low, wet place. Hilly land, 
even if the soil is not the best, will 
produce fine Cherry crops. Plant the 
trees 20 by 20 feet apart, or use them 
for fillers in your apple orchard.

Montmorency 
This photo, actually taken 
natural size of my Mont¬ 
morency Cherry, will give 
you an idea of the size and heavy bearing of 
this tree. It is a good red cherry, not very sour, 
ripens about 10 days after Early Richmond. 
Very productive, and hardy throughout the East, 
Northeast and the entire Middle West. Should 
be in every town or farm garden and orchard. 
SOUR CHERRIES 
Very hardy, always sure to bear. 
Early Richmond £ l he a c y omm r on 
medium red cherry, highly productive, 
and very hardy. Quality is good for pies 
and canning. An excellent tree for the 
Midwest and the North, bears regularly. 
Ripens in June. 
English Morello £ r T rl r 6 U nelVg 
black; tender, juicy, rich in flavor, and 
ripens rather late, quite sour. Hardy up 
to the middle of Nebraska and Iowa. 
Tree is of spreading form. 
Tinb-o Dark red - large fruited - 
L*lvJ,y i-'uis.tr juicy and rich; not very 
sour. Tree grows well, spreads low. A 
good bearer. Of May Duke, I have the 
two large sizes only, no 2 to 3 and 3 to 4 
ft. trees. 
OotVxairmmr Large, heart shaped, 
USineiiner nearly black when ripe, 
juicy and rich. Fine for dessert and 
cooking, not very sour. A great market 
cherry. Bears quite young. The trees 
bloom late, and ripen when cherries begin 
to get scarce, middle of July. 
»* r_ „ „ _ For the West and North- 
wragy west. Fruit medium to 
large, dark red, and of fine quality, al¬ 
most like English Morello. Tree is very 
hardy, a good grower, and highly pro¬ 
ductive. For western Kansas, Colorado 
and western Nebraska, it is one of the 
best cherries. Ripens in July. 
Improved Montmorency 1 
Originated by Mr. Fred Pothast of Pick- 
rell, Nebraska. Our trees are grown from 
budding stock of Mr. Pothast’s original 
tree that has produced wonderful crops 
for over 25 years. Hardy in Nebraska, 
fruit even larger than that of the Mont¬ 
morency, and decidedly darker in color. 
An exceptionally good bearer. Add 10c 
per tree to the prices quoted for cherry 
trees. 
SWEET CHERRIES 
Not hardy in the northern states. 
Black Tartarian S% y ur S[f h e black 
color. This is a Heart Cherry, very 
sweet, of superb quality. The tree is a 
vigorous, upright grower, immense bear¬ 
er. A popular market cherry. I recom¬ 
mend it for the South, the Pacific states, 
also the Great Lakes region and the New 
England states. In the Middle West they 
are not dependably hardy, although they 
are grown here and there in protected 
places with fairly good results. A great 
cherry in its proper place. Ripens fore¬ 
part of July. 
Yellow Glass what flattened in 
shape, of very beautiful golden color, 
firm, juicy, sweet and of fine quality. 
This is not a Heart Cherry, and is there¬ 
fore hardier than Black Tartarian. It 
stood our dry summers and cold winters 
with fairly good results. I can recom¬ 
mend the tree for localities as far north 
as the southern half of Nebraska. 
Blooms late. I suggest pinching off the 
tips of the young branches in July to en¬ 
courage branching and a dense growth for 
best bearing. Ripens July 1. 
Sonderegger's Sweet Cherry 
The tree looks almost like the Black Tar¬ 
tarian, but the fruit is more of the Mor¬ 
ello type. It is not a Heart Cherry. Al¬ 
most black when fully ripe; large, very 
meaty, sweet and juicy. The tree is per¬ 
fectly hardy here, bears well, its growth 
is upright and vigorous with large leaves. 
I recommend this tree for the Middle 
West, except the extreme North of Neb¬ 
raska, where it may not fruit regularly. 
Add 15c per tree to prices quoted above. 
Hansen's New Bush Cherry 
My original stock Is of the true produc¬ 
tion by Professor Hansen of Brookings, 
South Dakota. A greatly improved Sand 
Cherry. The fruit is fair in quality and 
recommended for canning (preserves), of 
good size, small pit, very dark red. Makes 
a very good hedge, as it grows in low 
bush form, and due to the fact that it 
resists extreme drought and cold remark¬ 
ably well, resists insects the New Han¬ 
sen’s Bush Cherry is a most important 
and most needed addition to the shrub 
list for the Middle West. Use them free¬ 
ly for hedging, for foundation planting, 
anywhere for a good, clean hedge of 3 
to 4 ft.- height, that will also give you 
fruit that can be used to good advantage. 
3 for 25c; 10 for 55c; 100 for $3.80; prepaid. 
Compass Cherry Plum d°u p c°e 
fruit quickly where old orchards and 
bearing trees have died out in recent 
years, I know of no better tree than this 
Compass Cherry Plum. Not only does it 
commence to bear the second year, it pro¬ 
duces enormous quantities of fruit, and 
the fruit is of good size, good quality for 
raw eating, preserves, canning, etc. See 
front inside cover page for true-to-life 
colored photo. The tree is of dwarf 
habit, can be planted as close together as 
10 or 12 feet. It is extremly hardy. 
Where regular cherries do not succeed, 
the Compass Cherry Plum will still pro¬ 
duce and do good. Plant a few of these 
trees this year, for your benefit, and to 
help you bring back fruit quickly, I am 
pricing them very low.
