F or over forty years Prof. N. E. Hansen of South 
Dakota State College strove to create a Cherry which 
would produce fruit as finely flavored as the best of 
the standard types and be small enough to be used any- 
where. The brilliant answer to his long years of labor is 
found in the New Dwarf Cherry which does not grow 
above four feet tall. 
Even if the new Dwarf Cher' 
ries produced no edible fruit 
they would still be a valuable 
acquisition for our shrubbery 
borders. In the spring the 
white flowers are exceedingly 
lovely, the glistening foliage 
turning to red and gold in the 
fall is handsome all season and 
the plant’s habit of growth 
makes it a compact, symmet- 
rical, handsome shrub, which 
incidentally may be used for 
hedging as Barberry or Privet 
is used. 
However, the chief glory of 
the New Dwarf Bush Cherry 
is its wonderful fruit, which is 
borne in immense quantities. 
A properly grown, welhdevel' 
oped plant will yield a half 
bushel of luscious cherries. 
These cherries are a lovely 
sight on the bush. The skin 
of the fruit is colored a rich 
and glistening purple with red 
lights. The color of the flesh 
is light green and the individual 
cherries are about an inch in 
diameter. Properly planted, 
fruit will be produced after one 
year. The fruit is delicious as 
it comes from the bush and 
makes wonderful preserves and 
pies; it is very sweet and when 
used for cooking requires a 
little less sugar than ordinary 
cherries. 
There is, of course, no ques' 
tion about its hardiness. It 
was developed in South Dakota 
where winter temperatures of 
forty degrees below zero are an 
annual occurrence. 
These Cherries are true 
dwarfs and should be planted 
4 feet apart.

New Phlox, Tigress 
After a century of effort the plant 
breeders have at last given us a real 
flame-colored Phlox! 
We have, of course, had flame- 
colored Phlox before, but in the past 
breeding this c-jlor into Phlox weak¬ 
ened the plants severely and fre¬ 
quently they d’d not bloom. Mean¬ 
while disease and insects took their 
toll of the weakened strain. 
The new Phlox, Tigress, is the 
realization of - the Phlox lover’s 
dream. The plants grow tall and 
sturdy—equal, in this respect, to 
Columbia or Miss Lingard. There 
is no suggestion of disease or weak¬ 
ness and the flowers are immense, 
the largest that grow, and the color 
is the true vividly brilliant orange- 
scarlet-flame that the world has 
sought for over a century. Tigress 
is incomparable in its magnificence. 
50c each; $5.00 per doz. 
If wanted by parcel post, add 10c 
for six Phlox. 
New Phlox, Columbia 
(Plant Patent No. 118) ■ 
The color is an exquisite cameo- 
pink with a faint blue eye and pro¬ 
duces an effect never before seen in 
Phlox. The clearness of tone is re¬ 
markable, and ; the marvelous bril¬ 
liant color does! not fade into purple 
as the flower a^es. The flower crop 
is immense. A well-grown plant will 
produce 15 flower spikes 2'/2 feet 
high. Unquestionably the finest of 
the pink Phlox, and probably the 
finest of all Phlox. 3 for $1.10; 
$3.30 per doz- 
If wanted b;, parcel post, add 10c 
for six Phlox. 
New Phlox, Salmon Glow 
If you were to ask Mr. Elliott or any member of his 
technical staff, “What is the finest Phlox in existence?’’ 
the emphatic answer would be Salmon Glow. It is so 
superior to all others in size, fineness of flower, color¬ 
ing, habit of growth, and freedom from disease, that 
comparisons seem foolish. Though a free variety, it is 
infinitely superior to the world famous “patented” 
Phlox. The colon is flame-pink with salmon shadings 
modified with lilac and white tints in the center, and 
Salmon Glow gets better as it grows older. 3 for $1.10; 
$3.30 per doz.
