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 desired and it pro¬ 
duces 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. Plant 
several plants for proper pollenization. Price, 35c each, 3 for $1.00.

We are offering three selections of large 
fruited heavy yielding and highly desirable 
types selected by the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture for their 
especially fine fruit characters. They bear large, showy 
masses of white flowers in June followed by clusters of large, 
brilliant red fruit in late summer and fall. The fruit is very 
high in pectin, of a brilliant red color, and is used chiefly 
for making jelly eaten with meats. Highly ornamental and 
attractive.
