FAIRBURY NURSERIES, FAIRBURY, NEBRASKA 
Hybrid Cherry 
OKA. Introduced in the fall of 1924. This 
is not really a cherry; it is a Sand Cherry 
Hybrid, dark red flesh like Sapa plum, 
very prolific and comes into bearing the 
second year after planting. 
TOM THUMB. Another production of 
Prof. Hansen and one which is meeting with 
unusual favor in Canada. It is a cherry 
growing on a bush, and may be planted like 
currants and gooseberries. Begins to bear 
the second year and produces tremendous 
crops of cherries about the size of Compass 
but black in color and with dark red flesh 
like the Sapa. 
ZUMBBA CHERRY. Originated in Min¬ 
nesota, is a cross of the Pin Cherry, the 
large Sweet Cherry of the west coast and 
the wild Sand Cherry of the Dakotas. It 
seems to be a happy combination as Zum- 
bra is as hardy as the Sand Cherry, grows 
like the Pin Cherry and the fruit is as 
large and as good quality as the California 
Sweet Cherry. Comes into bearing the 
next year after planting, very prolific, ma¬ 
turing large annual crops. Zumbra is 
placed on the Minnesota recommended fruit 
list as “leading variety.” It ripens after 
the sour varieties are gone. 
Compass Cherry Plum 
There should be some Compass Cherry 
Plums on every farm in the middle west. 
The fruit is hardy and is especially fine 
for preserving and canning. Fruit is bright 
red, juicy, tart in flavor. When it is fully 
ripe it is a dark wine color and looks 
more like a plum than a cherry. It was 
originated by crossing the Sand Cherry 
with the Miner Plum.

Boysenberry 
The largest of all berries known; 60 to 80 
berries to fill a pint basket, while of black¬ 
berries it would take 200 berries or more. 
Berries iy 2 to 2 inches long and 1-inch 
thick are not unusual. The plant is a cross 
between Blackberry, Raspberry and Logan¬ 
berry, combining size, heavy bearing and 
fine taste of these fruits. Boysenberry will 
be a money-maker for the market garden¬ 
er; it is just becoming popular; start a 
planting now. The plant has stood 17 de¬ 
grees, below zero without damage.

10 plants, 75 cents; 17 for $1.00. 
Russian Mulberry 
This tree has been planted very exten¬ 
sively in the western states for the past 
fifteen years, and we know of no other 
tree that will stand as much drought and 
neglect and yet make a good growth each 
year. 
It makes a good shade tree, holding its 
leaves late into the fall; and for a hedge, 
without thorns, it has no superior. Trees 
commence to bear at two years old; fruit 
resembles the blackberry and will ripen 
from July 1st to September.

Youngberry 
(A NEW INTRODUCTION) 
The Youngberry is a cross between a 
Loganberry and a Dewberry. Berries extra 
large, often two inches long. Color dark 
purplish-red. Flavor very much like Red 
Raspberry. Imagine a fruit of the quality 
of Red Raspberry and the size of a Dew¬ 
berry. Very productive; fine for home use 
and local market. 
Strong plants, 6 cents each, postpaid. 
10 plants, 50 cents. 25 for $1.00.
