Cherries do well most anywhere, ex¬ 
cept on a low, wet place. Hilly land, 
even if the soil is not the best, will 
produce fine Cherry crops. Plant the 
trees 20 by 20 feet apart, or use them 
for fillers in your apple orchard.

Montmorency 
This photo, actually taken 
natural size of my Mont¬ 
morency Cherry, will ^ve 
you an idea of the size and heavy bearing of 
this tree. It is a good red cherry, not very sour, 
ripens about 10 days after Early Richmond. 
Very productive, and hardy throughout the East, 
Northeast and the entire Middle West. Should 
be in every town or farm garden and orchard. 
SOUR CHERRIES 
Very hardy, always sure to bear. 
Early Richmond ^^he^'^o m m"o n 
medium red cherry, highly productive, 
and very hardy. Quality is good for pies 
and canning. An excellent tree for the 
Midwest and the North, bears regularly. 
Ripens in June. 
English Morello dark%S'^nerri^ 
black; tender, juicy, rich in flavor, and 
ripens rather late, quite sour. Hardy up 
to the middle of Nebraska and Iowa. 
Tree is of spreading form. 
Mrrv I>ark red, large fruited, 
juicy and rich; not very 
sour. Tree grows well, spreads low. A 
good bearer. 
Large, heart shaped, 
nearly black when ripe, 
juicy and rich. Fine for dessert and 
cooking, not very sour. A great market 
cherry. Bears quite young. The trees 
bloom late, and ripen when cherries begin 
to get scarce, middle of July. 
Wrrrrrrr West and North- 
* ^99 west. Fruit medium to 
large, dark red, and of fine quality, al¬ 
most like English Morello. Tree is very 
hardy, a good grower, and highly pro¬ 
ductive. For western Kansas, Colorado 
and western Nebraska, it is one of the 
best cherries. Ripens in July. 
SWEET CHERRIES 
Not hardy In the northern states. 
Rlrrrt TrTrtrrrirrn 
DxacK 1 arianan of purplish black 
color. This is a Heart Cherry, very 
sweet, of superb quality. The tree is a 
vigorous, upright grower, immense bear¬ 
er. A popular market cherry. I recom¬ 
mend it for the South, the Pacific states, 
also the Great Lakes region and the New 
England states. In the Middle West they 
are not dependably hardy, although they 
are grown here and there in protected 
places with fairly good results. ’A great 
cherry in its proper place. Ripens fore¬ 
part of July. 
YeUow Gloss .“SSienS"!.; 
shape, of very beautiful golden color, 
firm, juicy, sweet and of fine quality. 
This is not a Heart Cherry, and is there¬ 
fore hardier than Black Tartarian. It 
stood our dry summers and cold winters 
with fairly good results. I can recom¬ 
mend the tree for localities as far north 
as the southern half of Nebraska. 
Blooms late. I suggest pinching off the 
tips of the young branches in July to en¬ 
courage branching and a dense growth for 
best bearing. Ripens July 1, Of Yellow 
Glass only 4-6 and “Special Grade” can 
be furnished. 
Sonderegger's Sweet Cherry 
Hansen's New Bush Cherry 
My original stock is of the true produc¬ 
tion by I’rofessoi' Hansen of Brookings, 
South Dakota. A greatly improved Sand 
Cherry. The fruit is fair in quality and 
recommended for canning (preserves), of 
good size, small pit, very dark red. Makes 
a very good hedge, as it grows in low 
bush form. Resists extreme drought and 
cold remarkably well. I’se them freely 
for hedging, for foundation planting, any¬ 
where for a good, clean hedge of 3 to 4 
ft. height; will also give you fruit that 
can be used to good advantage. 18-24 
inch, 3 for 50c; 10 for $1.25; 25 for $2.50; 
prepaid.

Improved Montmorency • 
Originated by Mr. Fred Pothast of Pick- 
rell, Nebraska. Our trees are grown from 
budding stock of Mr. Pothast’s original 
tree that has produced wonderful crops 
for over 25 years. Hardy in Nebraska, 
fruit even larger than that of the Mont¬ 
morency, and decidedly darker in color. 
An exceptionally good bearer. Add 10c 
per tree to the prices quoted for cherry 
trees. 
The tree looks almost like the Black Tar¬ 
tarian, but the fruit is more of the Mor¬ 
ello type. It is not a Heart Cherry. Al¬ 
most black when fully ripe; large, very 
meaty, sweet and juicy. The tree is per¬ 
fectly hardy here, bears well, its growth 
is upright and vigorous with large leaves. 
I recommend this tree for the Middle 
West, except the extreme North of Neb¬ 
raska, where it may not fruit regularly. 
Add 15c per tree to prices quoted above. 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Never use fertilizer of any kind to mix with the soil when you plant a tree or shrub. 
Fertilizer heats, and is often harmful to the roots. Some planters put manure In 
the bottom of the holes, although I do not recommend this practice; if it Is to be 
done, be sure to have at least 6 inches of dirt on top of the manure before planting 
the tree, so that the manure will be well rotted before the new roots may reach it. 
If there is a rock or gumbo shelf in the subsoil near the surface, such an unpenetra¬ 
ble layer should be cut or bored through to allow roots and moisture to enter the 
subsoil.
