Bing. June. California's finest shipping 
cherry and highly prized for the home 
orchard. The fruit is very large, heart- 
shaped, with a smooth, glossy skin; 
deep maroon verging to black in color. 
The flesh is very firm, meaty and of fine 
flavor. Because of its productiveness, 
the Bing is popular in all cherry sec¬ 
tions. 
Black Tartarian. Late May. The most 
widely grown early cherry. The fruit is 
black, of good size, and one of the finest 
in flavor. We select our Black Tartarian 
budwood from an orchard producing 
extra large fruit. 
Chapman. April. While not the earliest 
cherry in existence, it is the earliest 
good cherry and we recommend it for 
early shipping districts. It is a medium 
large, black cherry of very good flavor. 
(On Mahaleb root only.) 
CHERRY POLLINATION 
Sweet cherries should be planted 
with a pollinizer for maximum 
production. Black Tartarian is a 
good pollinizer for Bing, Chap¬ 
man, Lambert and Royal Anne. 
A home orchardist with space for 
only one variety should plant the 
self-fruitful Black Tartarian. 
CHERRY TREES 
• California cherries thrive best in coastal districts or those interior sections tem¬ 
pered by coastal influences. They require deep, well drained soils; soil moisture 
must be maintained throughout the growing season. Cherries are planted 28 to 32 
feet apart in commercial orchards. 
Cur cherry trees are the result of propagating carefully selected buds on the best 
seedlings obtainable. We offer the grower his choice of either mazzard or mahaleb 
root stock. Cherries are popular in the home orchard because of their early ripen¬ 
ing. Suitable varieties, in the order of ripening, are: Black Tartarian, Bing, Royal 
Anne and Lambert.

Lambert. Late June. This is our latest 
cherry and planted in districts where a 
late variety is valuable in prolonging 
the cherry season. (Cn Mahaleb root 
only.) 
Royal Anne (Napoleon Biggareau) 
June. The only cherry used for commer¬ 
cial canning in California. It enjoys 
popularity as a home orchard variety. 
The tree is long lived, grows to a very 
large size and produces enormous 
crops. The fruit is large, light amber in 
color, suffused with red, and of excel¬ 
lent quality. 
SOUR CHERRIES 
Early Richmond. May. The earliest sour 
cherry and popular with housewives 
everywhere for culinary uses. The fruit 
is medium size, dark red and juicy. The 
trees, of spreading and drooping habit, 
produce very large crops. 
English Morello. June. The standard 
late, red juice sour cherry, and one of 
the best. It is excellent for canning and 
culinary uses. The fruit is medium 
large, dark red approaching black 
when ripe. Produces large crops. 
Discriminating orchardists are 
pleased with this generous 
eyeful of uniform cherry trees 
at our Loomis nursery in luly.
