CHERRIES — The King of Fruits 
The trees thrive everywhere and bear heavy 
crops every year. 
Montmorency Cherry 
Cherries are one of the most popular 
fruits. Its hardiness, and the fact that it 
bears annually are strong recommenda¬ 
tions. The cherry can be grown on any 
kind of soil, but prefers a moderately 
heavy loam. The soil must be well 
drained. Cherry trees will do better un¬ 
der neglect than any other fruit tree. 
They need very little attention after 
transplanting; no pruning and very little 
spraying. They come into bearing the 
third or fourth year after planting. 
KANSAS DUKE—Our Kansas Duke 
is a large semi-sweet cherry of deep 
red color, juicy and rich. The flesh is 
reddish. The fruit is of the best de¬ 
licious flavor and is very excellent for 
eating fresh. 
Plant a Kansas Duke cherry if you 
have room for only one tree. The 
tree is especially attractive as it is an 
upright, compact grower, which to¬ 
gether with the heavy dark green fo¬ 
liage, makes it a beautiful tree for 
lawn planting. The Kansas Duke is 
a prolific bearer and the abundant 
crops make it especially desirable for 
home use. It is the nearest sweet 
cherry that is a success in this cli¬ 
mate. Ripens about a week before 
Montmorency. 
MONTMORENCY — With Early Rich¬ 
mond, it is the most widely and 
numerously planted cherry and the 
most productive and regular bearer.

Prices on Kansas Dukes—10c per tree 
additional for each size. A little higher 
but they are worth it several times over. 
Kansas Duke Cherry 
Colors early before ripe. The fruit is 
roundish, plump, flattened at the end, 
and a beautiful glowing-red. It hangs 
in clusters. The flesh is rich and 
pleasant; of reddish color, tender and 
firm. A good shipper and canner. The 
tree is a vigorous, upright grower, but 
will not quite equal Early Richmond in 
production qualities. Ripens about the 
second week in June. 
EARLY RICHMOND —Sometimes called 
the Early May Cherry. It is the fa¬ 
vorite early cherry and next to Mont¬ 
morency, the most popular of all the 
sour cherries. The fruit is of medi¬ 
um size, roundish shape, flattened at 
the end; flesh light color, tender and 
sprightly. A good canner. The tree 
is medium size, vigorous, upright, 
spreading, productive and long-lived. 
Ripens about a week earlier than 
Montmorency. We suggest that you 
set one-half of your sour cherries to 
this variety and the other one-half to 
Montmorency.
