Daniels 
Hardy Cherries 
You don’t need an orchard to grow cherries, 
for the small size, attractive form, foliage and 
color of these trees make them valuable assets 
to any ornamental border. 
The splendid cherries we list on this page 
have adequately proven their desirability both 
from the home garden or market point of view. 
With an assortment of these one can have the 
finest of cherries for eating and for canning. 
Daniels Cherry Trees—propagated by the 
methods we use—have proven hardy through¬ 
out the Northwest and well on up into Canada. 
Compass is the best pollenizer for the other 
cherries and should always be planted with 
them. Should you have an existing planting of 
cherries that is not fruiting well, plant some 
Compass along with them and you will be 
surprised with the way this correct polleniza- 
tion will increase your yield. 
Bearing age trees generally blossom the year 
planted and should fruit the year following 
without fail.

Zumbra Cherry 
ZUMBRA —The best sweet cherry type for Min¬ 
nesota. Bears early. A tremendous yielder. 
When properly ripened on the tree the fruits 
are delicious to eat out of hand and one of the 
finest canning fruits known. 
NICOLLET —The closest approximation to the 
true sour cherry in size, color and general 
appearance of any that can be grown in the 
Northwest. Splendid for sauce and pies. Beau¬ 
tiful red color, small pit and crisp succulent 
flesh. 
OKA —A tremendous yielder of large round 
cherries fully one inch in diarpeter. Dark red 
outside with a juicy, purple meat inside. Won¬ 
derfully sweet. The best of all the purple 
fleshed cherries. 
COMPASS —While this fine old variety is not 
the equal of the other three cherries in 
quality it is a most acceptable and popular 
fruit for canning. It is the best pollenizer 
known for the other cherries and should be 
included in all plantings. 
Daniels Hardy Pears 
Mendel Pear 
Pears are no longer an experiment in Minnesota and 
adjacent territory. The varieties we list have proven their 
suitability to this climate with many years of successful pro¬ 
duction. The new Bantam (Minn. No. 3) is the finest small 
pear yet developed for the North. You can now grow in your 
own home orchard good quality pears in sufficient quanti¬ 
ties for any family’s eating and canning needs. If you are 
not growing them you are missing something worth while!

The Great New Pear 
BANTAM 
(Minn. No. 3) 
Bantam is the new name just given to the 
Minnesota No. 3 Pear by its originators, the 
University of Minnesota. It is loudly acclaimed 
the finest, small hardy pear. Hardy enough for 
the Northwest. Has stood up well even far 
north in Minnesota. 
The tree is vigorous, productive and entirely 
resistant to Pear Blight. 
In size, as its name indicates, the fruit is sim¬ 
ilar to the famous Seckel Pear, but heavy pro¬ 
duction makes it “bushel up” as well as most 
larger fruiting pears. The quality is excellent 
as a dessert fruit,—splendid for cooking and un¬ 
surpassed as a pickling pear. In color it is a 
yellowish-russet, sometimes with a light blush 
of pink. Season September 1st to 15th. Don’t fail 
to plant this splendid new pear this year,— but 
order early as supplies are limited. 
PARKER —Introduced by the State Fruit Breed¬ 
ing Farm. The fruit is medium to large; flesh 
tender and of good quality. Season, late Sep¬ 
tember. 
MENDEL —For 29 years Mendel has with¬ 
stood the rigors of our northern climate with¬ 
out injury or fire blight. It is a very produc¬ 
tive variety. The fruit is large and hangs well 
to the tree. Is of first quality, sweet and juicy, 
and keeps well through the Fall. 
Ancient Briton Blackberry 
The extreme popularity of this splendid black¬ 
berry is well deserved for it is not only the 
hardiest of the better blackberries but it is the 
best in quality. Plants are vigorous and very 
productive. Probably the best for home and 
commercial plantings in the North. $1.25 for 12; 
$2.00 for 25; $5.00 for 100.
