America’s Greatest Pie Cherry 
MONTMORENCY STARK 
MONTMORENCY STARK—The best strain of Montmorency. From n 
select tree on our grounds which uniformly bore very large fruit— 
larger than any other Montmorency. Tree stronger grower than Mont¬ 
morency King (Ordinaire). Our favorite for over 30 .vears. Fruit 
large, flesh Arm, ships i)erfectly; tree strong grower, sure and young 
l)earer, largest of all the sour cherries, very Jiardy; pr«)duces tremendous 
money-making crops—succeeds throughout the F. 8. 
This great cherry sliould be grown on every farm and on every town 
^ lot, along driveways—wherever you have 15 feet square. Many fruit 
growers plant cherry trees along the highways of their farms, and 
today their old fence rows are producing enough profit to pay the 
taxes on the farm, and more lH*sidea. It is the perfect variety for pies, 
preserves, cobblers, puddings and other good “eats.” The Montmor«‘ncies 
are the best “so-called” sour cherries—they are not really sour, for 
Montmorency when fully ripe Is sweet and luscious, the favorite of the 
children. Three-fourths (»f all cherries should la* of this type. They 
are the most perfect in tree, resist disease, iess affected by wet weather, 
are most productive and Itear best fruit of all the sours. 
No matter how unfavorable the season, the Montmorencies can be 
depended upon. They are hardy, bhM)m late, sure bearers. On account 
of young bearing (often fruit at 2 years old), semi-dwaiTish growth, 
they make ideal fillers for appje orchards. Excellent shippers, always 
bring good prices. In canning factories and preserving works they are 
preferred and are wanted by the hundreds of tons. Succeed throughout 
the U. 8. We grow five strains of the Montmorencies which are kept 
absolutely pure. Eating, Cooking, (banning. Market. 
MONTMORENCY KING —(Ordinaire). Mid-season. Cannot be too 
highly recommended for quality and quantity of fruit, hardiness and 
beauty of tree, and unfailing crops. Uipens a week or ten days after 
Early Richmond. Montmorency is the most widely planted of all sour 
cherries, hut there is not one-half enough giown to supply the demand 
for the fruit. Do not require much care, and they produc-e immense crops. 
MONTMORENCY MONARCH —Mid-season. This is an excellent strain 
of Montmorency that we secured from the Iowa Experiment Station 
years ago and because of its extra heavy bearing qualities we have 
continued to grow it and recommend it. 
MONTMORENCY SWEET —Mid-season. A true Montmorency, but 
sweeter than other strains. Recommended for all home grounds. 
EA|ILY* RICHMOND —Early. Medium size, clear, bright red, but well- 
known and widely planted, both for home use and market—a standard. 
DYEHOlJ8EL=Better than Early Rit-hmond, a week earlier, larger, 
smaller seed— best very early cherry except Montearly, Tree tlirifty, 
unusually strong grower, go(Kl l)enrer. There is a good market for a 
cherry that comes on the markets very early— long before the Mont¬ 
morencies are ready. For this extremely early season we recommend 
Dyehouse and Montearly. 
FALL PLANTING BEST FOR CHERRIES 
For beat growth and surest success plant cherry trees and other 
fruit trees in the Fall when the ground is warm and easy to 
work. Soil and climatic conditions make Full planting easier 
and safer. The trees become established before Spring so they 
will start growing immediately and so they will better resist the 
hot, dry weather of the first summer. Many growers say a 
year can be saved by planting their trees in the Fall. Order 
now for future siitlsfaction.
